It’s all over. Sergio Aguero seals the title for City in the most dramatic finale to a Premier League campaign thus far, with United’s win at Sunderland proving ultimately inconsequential. For the final time this term, then, we roll out the Big Numbers, analysing the Gameweek’s most impressive performers and looking at those players most likely to receive the bonus points tomorrow. Roll on next season already.
Will Beausejour be listed as a defender next season? I think he will stay as a mid but be has been playing as a part of a 5 man defence so we can only hope.
Would be an amazing pickupOpen Controls
Morning after....
Because of my mini-league situation, I had to take some risks for final gw and surprise surprise it didn't work out well.
I managed to slip out of top 10k 🙁
Funny how your memory works, it's quite easy to remember where it all went wrong....here's a short list of my sad stories;
1. gw3: not captaining rooney
result: 20 points down the toilet and signs for my season are there to be seen....
2. gw20: after lot of tinkering, decided to go vdv, bale, ade and leave bae for wiser men
result: I suppose about 20 points lost there too
3. gw33/36: first gw33 didn't notice skrtl price fall and ended 0.1 short to get vermaelen in
then gw36 believed my gut (and tosey too 🙂 ) and took vermaelen in then, instead of common sense choise terry.
result: 20-35 points lost there
4. Don't remember what gw it was, but mancini went rotation crazy (silva and agu out) and "everybody else" got good points from their bench (caulker etc) and wc, I got red cared sessegnon and wc that got 1 or 2 points.........
Conclusion: hopefully next season I manage to make those crusial decisions correctly again and then boys, I'll be coming back where I belong - top 1K that is 🙂
Congrats to all of you who had a good season and for the rest, there's always next season!Open Controls
Very hungover after a great day at The Hawthorns yesterday and nearly £400 richer after winning my cash mini leagues!
Cheers to everyone on here, first season I've found the site. Don't think I would have won the league without everyones opinions etc!

File under "Interesting, if true": the German tabloid Bild is saying that Ferguson & Phelan weren't only in Berlin for the German Cup final to observe Kagawa and Lewandowski, but also a third Dortmund player - central defender Mats Hummels. Hummels' father and advisor, Hermann, was apparently invited to Manchester recently for discussions.

Well the whole summer of speculation is ahead. I am not gonna read too much into that and any other speculation. The papers need to be sold. that's it

Lewandowski's agent: "Dortmund's offer is not good enough. I can confirm that Manchester United are interested."

With everything sewn up and 38th in the world, I took a maverick 16pt hit at one last punt to break top 10, figuring that if at least one of my transfers did well I'd still stay top 100. Turns out all my punts were complete failures, and BPs will see me drop out of top 100 🙁 Bit of a downer to the end of the season really, I guess when the ML cash rolls in it'll all seem well again.
Open Controls
Unlucky Jim, but a fantastic season nonetheless
I was 5.7K coming into the GW, took a similarly maverick 8 pointer to try my luck knowing full well it probably wouldn't pay off, but I wasn't too fussed about my ranking though - seeing as it wasn't that great anyway!
Only just logged in to see the damage after yesterdays events..
Good luck next season.Open Controls
One of my leagues is down to the baps now.
Him : Pienaar + Rooney + Terry
Me : Aguero + Jelavic + 2 points.
It will be him I think. 🙁Open Controls
That is very tight!
I hope its Terry and Aguero 3 bonus each. Then tis down to who gets the 3 and the 2 between Jelavic and Pienaar - if its Jelavic, then you will win imo.
Who has made fewer transfers?*
*I disagree with this method of ranking. Making more transfers costs points already, so to be doubly disadvantaged seems silly. Something like "goals scored" would be better.Open ControlsWell I could definietly see it coming down to transfers!
Rooney: 3
Pienaar: 2
Jelavic: 3
Terry: 3
Aguero: 3
Very, very close. VDV might have cost.Open Controls
I'd say him. I'm in a similar position.
Me:- Aguero(c), Jelly, Terry, VDV + 1point
Him:- VDV(c), Rooney, Ade
I'm hoping I sneak it.Open ControlsLol. I wish. Dont really see it though - playing only 59 minutes has gotta hurt PPI, though I suppose the fact that Defoe scored the 2nd goal and only played 31 minutes will help a bit. 1 bonus for VDV for be legendary!
I agree Pienaar 3, Jelavic 2, but it could be the other way around, and you could sneak in. Difficult thoughOpen Controls

another brilliant managerial performance by david moyes, yet again we have shown our red neighbours how to get value for your money, finishing above them on a shoestring budget has just made my season

Took a silly 8 pointer to end the season with some fun which damaged my rank, but who cares!
Arsenal to the CL 😀
Can't wait for next season, and when I think about it, it isn't even that long with Euro's and rugby to keep me entertained until then.
Thankyou to the Scouts for the fantastic articles - I've already decided I'm going to get a Paypal account and become a member next season.
Bring on 2012-13 😉Open ControlsThat interview yesterday where he said something like "I will always love this club, no matter what" didn't sound too promising, but Bosscienly seems to think RVP will definitely stay, so who knows..
Fingers/toes/everything else crossedOpen Controls
Was thrilled to see we turned around yet another losing position to clinch third. Incredible, season-long comeback. Everyone wrote us off after that 8-2 mauling.

Looking like zero
Open Controls0 (Atmost 1)
Open ControlsJust when I thought I couldnt hate Harry Redknapp any more, he hauls VDV (my captain) off on 59 minutes 30 seconds. Those 4 points are going to cost me big time.
Last year Lescott scored a freak goal on the final day, causing me to lose by 6 points.
This is why I hate this game. LolOpen Controls

Open ControlsHe's had a cracking season, he's pure quality. He's Germany's best creative output. He was the one I wanted above all others in the mid.
p.s.I'll join your league if that is cool?Open ControlsCracking Season?
He Scored only 7 goals in 45 games which he started.
PS-You can join my leagues.Open ControlsHe also had 24 assists in those 45 games

Only 30 Attacking returns is not good when your team scores loads of goals.Open Controls
Well Klose was Germany's highest goalscorer in Q's and I think Ozil did ok-ish with goals and assists.
Things is Ozil is nailed on while Klose might lose some gametime with Gomez in the mix. At 10mill Ozil surely isn't a bad bet vs Klose/Gomez(11.5?)
I can't see Portugal keeping a CS in first fixture vs Germany.Open Controls
Looks good.. Not a fan of EVRA.. Besides that, everything looks decent
Open ControlsCheers my man.

An excellent end to the season for me! Not quite top 100 but i'm really happy with my score! My gw1 team/score just shows that it's not essential to get a good start. Thanks to everyone for there invaluable help!!! Would the bps put me out of my misery already!

Well done man. I'm disappointed that I couldn't beat the rank I finished with last season. I'm looking forward to next season already!
Open ControlsWell done man.....I think you are well ahead of me by now.
Had 7 red arrows in a row, really bad end of season.
Congrats on a quality season.Open ControlsWhat happened! I thought i was doing badly with my 3 reds in a row! 🙁
Open ControlsEaster time....I didn't change my team one week as it was quite soon after each other. It went pair shaped I got in ballo for that awkward week, he got sent off before even playing a min for me. Ebded up taking hit's to get where I needed to be some paid off, others didn't and I just slipped further and further back.
I will learn and put that right nxt yr 🙂Open Controls
My ML has come down to 2 points.
I think it's a straight shoot out between bonus. Ruddy & Silva vs Terry.
What's the likelihood that the first two get 0 and terry bags the 3?Open Controls

Looks very nicely balanced. Andrews is a bit of a weak point. If you could somehow squeeze Duff into his place instead it'd be even better.

Get Zhirkov & Yarmoleonko

Also, Llorente... Think he might get the nod over Soldado??Open Controls
No top 1K finish for me this year. Have to settle for top 4K on 2205 for the season. Won my ML's and finished top 30 in the Top 1000 league so gotta be happy with that.
Right, time to get my life back. Until next season.....Open Controls
exactly the same points as me jellyfish n i won my minileague too
last year i finished higher but lost my minileague, much happier with a lower overall rank and more cash in my pocket this yearOpen ControlsDamn you Jelly and Tosey. You beat me by 5pts.(500 in ranking 😯 )Next year I will beat you both, qualify from the Reserves and have that elusive top 1k finish.

Open ControlsYou. I don't think RVP will get anything. Ade is nailed on for 3, and Aguero should get at least 2, that gives you 8. Can't see how he'll match it.
