EPL Fantasy League Week 36 (May). At least no one has Europe to worry about anymore, at least for this year. kWaCkY, on the basis of the instinct that told him to choose Frank Lampard as captain despite Arsenal's two games, has five points on quealy and 25 on Andy Griffiths going into the final fortnight. Week-winners Bayern (67) lead the also-rans for the illusory last Champions League spot that we don't have. We may not have relegation, either, but we still have the refreshing fruit-flavored table row colors. I don't know what else to say. (more inside)

Top 5 would be great, but I'll be happy with Top 10.

Looks like we're in for a close finish.

Who the fuck is "quealy"? ;-) kWaCkY is a lucky barsteward.

Looks like I'm not going to get that late season surge to lift me into the top 20. Note to self: always start building fantasy team with Thierry Henry.

Missed penalty Inswinging corner from right by-line taken left-footed by Hugo Viana (Newcastle) to centre, foul by Paul Ince (Wolverhampton) on Gary Speed (Newcastle). Power penalty taken right-footed by Alan Shearer (Newcastle) (bottom-right of goal), save (parried) by Paul Jones (Wolverhampton). Could that clinch me the title?

I had Juninho starting but he was injured and Scott Parker as a reserve but EPLfl did not seem to automatically sub him in, what gives? Parker would have been good for one point, better than nothing.

newcastle and southampton, i think, have yet to play and that is the final game of the week. i think you'll get your sub.

I think my selling Stephen Gerrard last week might win you the title kWaCkY. So I'm claiming credit for it.

Fantasy is all well and good but I am surely glad that Newcastle has so many fixtures packed into the end of a weary season, hopefully ensuring that LFC gets the fourth spot.
