        I know, but it's ok Sean does as well. We benched you as you and him had similar teams but he had 5 DGWers, you had 4.

        still a big advantage for us

    a) Australia-Sri Lanka differential caclulations
    b) the score card

    A wee bit ago Australia were up 20+ after the 1st ManC goal, then Sir Lanka were up 20+ after the 2nd ManC goal.

      There is noone in the top 400.

      Also I think you lose your WC so really it's just a massive disadvantage

        You don't lose your wildcard.

        My father's team was entered in GW3, the only penalty was losing the first 2 GWs.

        I look after the team for him, it plays 4-4-2 (at his request) and has an OR of 27k, not bad for a team that started 2 weeks after the rest.

        I have thought about entering a team in GW2 next season, basically you exchange your GW1 score for a free GW2 wildcard in effect. Good for building TV but it doesn't make much sense apart from that really.

          Better off just taking multiple hits. Unlikely you'll need to change the whole 15

        It is kind of crazy that his points is the exact difference in your match as it stands, whereas we lost one point of our edge from our Mane somewhere along the way.

      Why? I've owned him for weeks and he's done sod all.

      Expecting to be dissapointed tonight and got more hope that Myhill saves a pen in a 1 nil to West Brom because I've given up on Ivan for a big haul.
