Week 17 update for the Spofi EPL fantasy footie.: It the lowest scoring week since week three. But surely not everybody would complain.

I blame the typos on new child sleep deprivation syndrome.

I'm with holden. Deeply grateful that you're still posting the charts so diligently, gspm. Your baby should be proud of her daddy. In other news, I moved up another spot! At this rate, I should be in the top 5 in two weeks.

Even at that rate, there aren't enough weeks left in the season for me. But I did get 51 and moved up a notch. I'm going to be like Newcastle. Not good enough to win or finish in the top four, completely dysfunctional, more than slightly wacky, difficult to understand but capable of the odd surprise.

Even at that rate, there aren't enough weeks left in the season for me. You never know. It is possible to make huge jumps in the standings just by getting your captaincy choice right a few times. As if that were any easy thing to do. Must dash, I've got £3.2m to spend on squad strengthening to avoid the traditional Xmas carnage with rested players and the like.

Shit, any good place for info on who's sitting/ who's starting? Sean Salisbury, perhaps?

I think it is fair to say I have the highest priced midfield (the four highest priced midfielders and a filler) and that week was a let down. 29th best on the week is pretty lousy. But, buy, hold, prosper. I figure that week was an aberration.

One week asleep at the wheel + one week too many depending on Blackburn's sh*tty defense = I continue to slide.

With Terry out, doesn't that make Lampard much less valuable?

any good place for info on who's sitting/ who's starting This is my biggest problem, too. The official site is hopeless, Fabregas was listed as injured last week, but I still played him because I figured Wenger would have to get him ready for the big games. He played and got me 7 points. Even when I do play 'hands on' manager, this kind of news is hard to come by as living in my time zone and a lack of access to the English tabloids puts me on the wrong end of information asymmetry. That's my excuse, anyway.

Yukon and I use this site. It's better than the official site, but it's not 100% reliable either.

I use the PhysioRoom site too but would love a more precise source if one is known.

ARSE. It was the lowest...
