Squads with their best week yet: FIFA Rankings, Middle Pocket Mares, Th'All Black (Hand)s, Yukon United Squads with their worst week yet: My Hair Is So Bangin, Sauril's WideBoys Zizou Headbutters are up from 20th spot overall in week 16. So he finally makes good on his threat to inhabit the top half of the table.

Burnin' up the charts, baby!

And, again, thanks and great job to gspm for solidly keeping us updated through the season, and throwing in more than enough extra goodies to keep this interesting. Happy New Year everyone!

The Tuesday games caught me off guard, and I wasn't able to make my changes. Fuck, fuck, fuck.

It took me half a season to make heads or tails of this, but I'm finally making progress. Best week ever. What does it mean that I now vastly look forward to Saturday (EPL) over Sunday (NFL), despite the fact that I don't have readily available access to watching games and am glued to the BBC live updates? You've ruined me!

Same boat. Time to make a second-half charge. What does it mean that I will be setting an alarm to make sure I catch Everton live on FSC? It means I will have a pounding headache.

Means you drink too much. Obviously.
posted by YukonGold at 03:02 PM on December 28, 2006
I don't know. Maybe he's not drinking enough.
posted by chicobangs at 03:23 PM on December 28, 2006
Yukon's got a wedding album full of memories that suggest otherwise.

Damn, I was two points away from color! Or, as most civilized footie fans call it, colour.
posted by The_Black_Hand at 03:45 PM on December 28, 2006
definitely not drinking enough. ain't nothing like early morning footie and a pint with eggs, bacon, beans, and toast.

The_Black_Hand - i have something in store for the next update to please the top five and disappoint the bottom three...

Just when I thought I could catch wc2k2! Curses. But note that more or less the same team scored 34th one week and 2nd the next. I am the Rafa Benitez of this league. However this might be my last colour for a while, as the manager is going on autopilot. I'm off on holidays to Indonesia with no internet connection (yay!), so no doubt my team will end up all suspended, injured or traded away in the transfer window. See you in a few weeks, guys.

Right on, you lucky bastard. Be careful out there, big fella.
posted by chicobangs at 10:00 PM on December 28, 2006
When is that transfer window?
posted by YukonGold at 09:47 AM on December 29, 2006
Selamat bercuti, owly! And see ya real soon.

The question of the moment is how long until John Terry is back on the Chelsea starting XI, eh? 10 days or three months.
posted by billsaysthis at 06:01 PM on December 29, 2006
John Terry has been kicking a ball and running about this morning.

So have I, and I'm not playing for Chelsea next week either.
posted by chicobangs at 01:24 PM on December 30, 2006
How, very, very, fucking droll. Good week this week for all those who made the Ladyboy captain, I fully expect to drop many places, especially as on top of having a crap week I have just sacrificed eight points in transfers.

Man, that Ronaldo is really paying off in fantasy points. Not for me, of course, since I don't have Mr. Fancy Feet on my team.
posted by worldcup2002 at 06:26 PM on December 30, 2006
I have to drop 4 points on the boy. He looks like he's just getting started.
