    I didn't get to catch any of the games this weekend. Had a terrible week for points. None of the following scored me anything above 2. Can someone tell me how they played (i.e. were they just unlucky not to score points or were they anonymous). Cheers.

    Eriksen
    Lampard
    Moses
    Soldado
