    bit of perspective needed. aguero came on home to swansea in a game that was already won. man city had spent the 60mins tiring out and then once dzeko's goal went in demoralising the swansea side. yes it was a great last goal but easy tiger

      Looking at the possibility of doing Rooney, Torres and Aguero. It can be done but N'Zogbia is my most expensive midfielder. I will probably downgrade Torres to Saha and add a top midfielder.

    The Potential to reset the league scoring at GW2 is strange dilema for me. My league is made of members from the US, and I do not believe anyone was impacted by not being able to login. We all had our teams set prior to the problems I believe... (At least I have not heard from anyone complaining)

    Folks are not really watching the forum, and I do not have the email of every person. What a logistical nightmare...I'd try to email everyone, and see if they want a reset, but if I cannot get agreement from everyone, not sure it's fair. There is money on this.

    I almost wish I'd not organized the league. It was so much easier last year.

    What are other mini league admins doing?

      I'm in the same place, and what do you say to the people that put their team in days before... a vote (even if possible) will be unfair anyway as the people at the bottom will just vote against the people at the top. I'm leaning toward simply leaving it and moving prize funds to a separate h2h cup game, so the ones at the bottom cant complain 🙂
