Course you did, you've got an extra German defender to me!

Well done man, you've got it. I'm clinging on for 2nd now

Well played guys

How many are you on as it stands? 763 here.

This is agony.

Plus your points in the bag as well, of course.

Howedes & Kroos vs. Demichelis, Biglia & Messi now basically for me and you. Garay & Mascherano vs. Boateng & Klose © for you and Unbelievable.

Everybody has him mate. You have him as captain? I don't have him.

Not expecting a clean sheet for either tbh. I picked them for ball recoveries/blocks.

I'm down on 719, though! 8 to make up.

Hummels, Lahm and Muller. Demichelis, Garay, Biglia, Mascherano and Messi.

I don't, no.

This is why I always leave it very late to make final subs.

Christ

You've even got me tempted now and I've got De Vrij on 13

You've done great to get back into it and have such a chance of winning. All the best everyone!

Love these people who are always dead concerned with how much we spend

Yeah I'm fully invested now. Only found the spreadsheets ahead of this round.

Google is your friend.

Might as well cross the 4th place guy out tbh. I'm not including him in my calculations anymore.

29 points clear of 4th at one stage I still think I've got it sewn up tbh, even if Unbelievable is messing with us he's got a best-case scenario 4 players from NED (so 7 slots left and a 6 point gap to make up). There's no way he's that well-off, though, even if he's not quite as badly off as he's saying.

Pick Hummels, I'm sure his knee tendonitis will be fine tonight.

Everyone has already picked captains, though, all with 11+ Would be a brave move to give those points up.

I will, that's what I said! Regardless of what everyone else has left or does with their team tonight, I'm doing that because that's imo the way I'll get max points form the players I have in my squad. Everyone else is in the same boat in that sense, hence me saying I dont really see how it matters. Oh well, points come FT tonight is all that matters I suppose You're right, of course. I just enjoy the back-and-forth of these things. I have my work league to consider as well, where I've just snuck into 1st. Have a feeling the original leader has selected a squad of entirely Final players though, based on how few points he got last night.
