EPL Fantasy Premier League update, through Week 34.: Attack of the really quick game weeks!
I was caught out by the gameweek starting today. I think all the number shere are good. as far as I can tell Bill was the only one to incur a transfer penalty that would have been applied this morning, so i've added four to his overall total (and thus four points to his gameweek total) given that the four point penalty would have been applied after my update would have been normally posted. Or something.

Yikes...bloody games being played as we speak. Now THIS is a way to shake the Monday morning blues. Thank you, sir, may I have another?

I finally have a good week, but it is for nought at this stage. At least I'm safe from relegation.

Looks like the Bank Holiday fixtures have caught a few people out. Add to that the fact that 4 teams don't have a game this gameweek and it's a recipe for disaster.

Good grief - I didn't get make changes in time for Week 35, which started today! GRAAAOOOWWWRGGGG!!!!

Why the fuck does 'the Bank' need a holiday? To count all the money it 'earns' via those ridiculous ATM fees and use charges and whatever the hell else the banking industry calls 'services'.

I caught the quick change last night and, as noted, made some changes but completely forgot to switch captain from Henry to Lampard. Talk about a wasted 11 (or 14) points!

I missed the change AND had Henry as captain. I am beyond brilliant.

and in the UEFA champions league pool I now realize that I based my team on Barca making the final with a lean towards Villareal in the other semi (cheaper players). but I left my captain as Shevchenko, and he's the only Milan player I have. so, to benefit me by having the greatest number of players playing through to the final it'd be Barca vs Villareal and I'd have no captain. not so bright.
