The Lineups Game 09/10

Similar to the scorers game being run by Nemanja15, given the ever changing nature of our starting lineup I've decided to run a game based on it. The rules are this
  • Pick your starting XI for the game, and then name three subs (or less if you want).
  • If you pick a number of subs less than three, and it turns out that that is exactly the right substitute/s we used, you will get three points (ie if you pick only Owen to come on, and only Owen does come on, you'll get three points).
  • There are no points extra for guessing the right formation or position for each player.
  • You get one point for each correct starter, and one point for each correct sub

  • If someone you've said was going to start is a sub during the actual match, there are no points for this. Similarly, if someone you've nominated as a sub actually starts, no points.

Ostnesibly if you get everything correct you get 14 points. Closing time will be an hour before kickoff (which I believe would be 2pm BST?), or in this case three hours.

For ease of replicating your choices here, please don't do lineups in formation like you'd see in the matchday thread. Please submit them in the format shown below

eg Van Der Sar, Brown, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra, Nani, Scholes, Fletcher, Park, Rooney, Beratov SUBS: Valencia, Owen, Carrick.

(Note: Not my selection for this week)

i just have a gut feeling Roon will be benched today, dont know why. I also think evans will be either benched or left out due to the apparant ankle injury he has....though this is unlikely so a big risk ive taken there

Thanks lads.

Before I go anyfurther, I forgot to ask at the beginning, does anyone mind me playing if I'm coordinating as well?

What I've done there is show my confidence of a win today by suggesting we'll come away with all three points with only ten men on the pitch. Or maybe I fucked up and forgot to whack Nani's name in.

Oops. If Nani gets sent off I want an extra point for clairvoyance.
