EPL Fantasy League Week 21 (January): Watch out for kWaCkY and his Kwitters. The in-form team of our league won another gameweek with a 69-pointer on the backs of Arsenal's blowout of Boro and the 0-0 at Old Trafford, and closed within 14 points of the overall lead. Scoring competition-wide could be up to revision this week, due to a bit of a technical error on the League site's part... (more inside)

Also, I think they haven't updated completely for player substitutions. For instance, those of us who had Izzet on the first team should be credited with points from our top subs, but that hasn't happened yet. In any case, I've moved up. And I am sure that trend will continue! Congrats to kwacky and taupe on breaking the 1000-pt barrier. I'll be there soon.

Cheers. I've made a couple of transfers so next week I'll be losing points before I start. I'm predicting that Saha will lose his form for a while as speculation about his future grows. Watch him get a hat trick next week :-(. It's worth taking a gamble on the lower leagues forwards as the lesser teams try to fight for survival in the Premier League.

Izzet picked up his injury in training on the day before the game. From a brief scan of a few teams, it doesn't appear that any "automatic" substitutions have been made so far this week. Oh btw, my pc at home has packed up, so excuse my lack of contributions recently. PS Well done kwacky, you git.

Hmm..so far this season, I've never had a really impressive score. I just look at the people scoring over 70 in a week and think, how the hell did they do that? I made the first changes to my side in ages last week - and 26 bleeding points is the result!

I'm not sure where to put this, but I recently discovered a champion's league fantasy game on the UEFA site. If anyone is interested, click here. The league name is spofi and the code to join is: 1000650@_173064. The kit icons are much more detailed than on the premier league site too!

trox: even after creating a user account, I cannot get to the fantasy league page. Plus, we already have two leagues going, is that not enough for one sport?

Hey, I'm just giving the option. I needed something to do this morning while waiting on a meeting.
