State Of Play
Jaysus, the two gameweeks over one weekend caught a lot of us eh? I was able to get my shit together to make a few changes before the deadline on Sunday morning (or Monday morning? whichever it was) but no point in blogging about I felt. Anyway nothing I did was of much note anyway.
Vindication
This is bizarre vindication cos I’m very sure I had decided to leave Rooney as my captain but for some reason Cisse has been allotted the armband and double points. So that extra 7 or 8-point swing has helped in my battle for First (page)… top 50 will do me now.
D’oh
Six players getting two points or less, with your team pulling those scores you know yer not gonna do well. To be honest it’s just pride keeping me going as well as trying to keep match fit for the Euros.
Did I get the Keeper right?
Yes Krul got 7 to Vorm’s 2. But him being brought in last week was for this gameweek in mind.
Subs in general?
In the sense that all three of them only got 2 points or less anyway, yes.

Questions / Hunch / Trends / Dramatic Narrative this game week before Sky have spotted it.
This is probably the most exciting fortnight of the premiership season, as it stands everything is “all to play for”, but Wolves could be a write off in 2 weeks time, Man Utd could have the title tied up OR be fighting tooth and nail for the trophy.
I have no hunches or narratives this week to be honest, I’m more looking forward to Liverpool v Everton match to be honest. Come on Moyeserton! You deserve it.
Transfers
Cos of all the teams not playing this game week, as it stood I only had one keeper and 8 outfield players available for selection, so simply put Crouch has to go, and a striker playing this week is coming in. Scanning the fixtures I reckon it will be a Sunderland player, what with 2 favourable home games in the next 3 (against Wolves and Bolton) and sandwiched in between an away game against O’Neill’s former club Aston Villa… So since I’m picking a Sunderland striker, so guess who it is… drum roll… Yeah it’d Bendter, who is returning to Camp Ro where he started this season.
Theory/Selection
This week’s team is simpler than usual; I’ve 10 players that are eligible to play. SO that’s my team.
My Captain, My Captain.
Rooney is my only big big hitter in the team this week, he had a howler against Wigan so maybe he’ll swing back with a big performance at home to Villa? I’m hoping so, even though he seems to always go through bursts of form, it’s what I read in papers anyway.
My Team this week
Keeping An Eye On
The FA Cup and any possibly replays adding any more double/treble gameweeks, I anticipate making 2 or even 3 transfers next week to make use of the double gameweeks in 35 and 36.
Captain's Corner
[NB Back Of The Net Boy is not responsible for Captain’s Corner spelling, grammar and basic text layout]
A tricky weekend this gameweek, only 6 fixtures to pick our captain from. Fantasy managers will be struggling to field a full 11 whilst also being mindful of the upcoming double gameweek bonanza in GW36.
Arsenal@home to Wigan - Wigan are hitting form just when they need to as they battle for survival with a well-deserved victory at home to United last week. They're away to in form Arsenal too though and you'd have to fancy Arsenal here. RVP ended his brief goal drought last week but is definitely not looking as sharp as he did during the year. But even when not fully in form, you'd be a brave man not to back him for a goal here. Walcott is an equally good pick.
Man United@home to Villa - Perfectly set up for the famed Man United bounce back here, United should get a few goals. Rooney is dipping in form as well though and Valencia's place is perhaps a slight risk from a returning Nani.
Norwich@home to Man City - Man City showed showed some of their early season form with a convincing 4-0 demolition job on West Brom. But their away form is awful and Norwich can easily get a goal or two here and are on a high after dispatching Spurs last week. I'd expect goals galore here on both sides. Aguero is back on the radar and Silva too. If you have one, captain them.
Sunderland@home to Wolves - Wolves end of season hell continues, it's damage limitation at this stage. Sunderland will be looking to bounce back (lot of bouncing this week) from the defeat to Everton. Bendtner may feature, coming back from a back injury. He's a good shout along with Sessegnon and McClean.
Gamble picks - Yakubu. Hitting form again, check. Record of scoring against Swansea. Check. (four in the last fixture). Opposition defence looking ropey recently. check.
