IF i lose tonight top 4 is over with the run in i have
Your fixtures are similar to mine. Two easyish ones you'd be expected to win (on paper - though I dropped points to Southend) with rest looking tough.

Yours:
Everton (H)
Arsenal (A)
Southend United (H)
Bury (A)
Darlington 1883 (H)
Manchester United (A)

Mine:
Newcastle United (A)
Sunderland (H)
AFC Bournemouth (A)
Manchester City (H)
Liverpool (A)
Chelsea (H)

My record vs Bournemouth and Sunderland is pretty bad though but I'd need to get at least 7 points in next three games to realistically win the title.

Forest's fixtures are similar to mine but a few games behind.

Forest:
Birmingham City (H)
Aston Villa (H)
Milton Keynes Dons (A)
Newcastle United (H)
Sunderland (A)
AFC Bournemouth (H)

Nightmare. I can see them getting full points with a bit of luck... most of them at home too. You've got the league in the bag @The Taurean

Thanks @Mciahel Goodman. I drew 1:1 against Newcastle but Forest drew vs Birmingham too :D

De Gea (94)

Aurier (91) Ramos (95) Monreal (90) Roberto (91)
Pogba (93) Isco (92)
Götze
(92)Griezmann (95) Bale (95)⚽
Messi (99)

Subs: Bernardo (91), Goretzka (90), Brandt (90), Boateng (94), Eriksen (92)➕, Sterling (91), Martial (90)
Did not travel: Dele (91), Matip (90)

Key:
⚽ = Goal
➕ = Assist
⭐ = MOTM
= Subbed off
= Subbed on


I messed up my team selection. Meant to have Ramos on the bench and Boateng in starting lineup as Ramos' fitness is low and Boateng's is perfect. Now Ramos' fitness is fecked.

:lol: I am shocked that we have not taken advantge when you dropped points Damo. Title is over anyway.
It is mental. First 13 games of the season I was unstoppable, then went through a rough patch up to game 24 but the gap wasn't closed that much.

You still have a great chance to win the title. With your goal difference I need 8 points to win it.

Sunderland (H)
AFC Bournemouth (A)
Manchester City (H)
Liverpool (A)
Chelsea (H)

From those I can't see where I can get 8 points so provided you end the season perfectly, you can win it.

There is hope
Nice going. Birmingham just had an impressive result though.

[/QUOTE]

I face Newcastle in the semis. I beat them last year but their record right now is far superior that they're favourites (and I'll be missing Ramos for the first leg):

Manchester United have won 1 of the last 8 meetings between these clubs.
Newcastle United have won 5 of the last 8 meetings between these clubs.
Likewise, Everton don't have much luck vs City:

Everton have won 2 of the last 8 meetings between these clubs.
Manchester City have won 5 of the last 8 meetings between these clubs.
Champions Cup Semi Finals
Everton vs Manchester City
Manchester United vs Newcastle United

SMFA Shield
Milton Keynes Dons vs Fenerbahce SK
Torino vs Fulham

Smart money will be on a City v Newcastle CC final and MK Dons v Fulham in the final of the SMFA Shield.

@Damien @green_smiley 2 questions.

1) is the Stoke draft going to start soon?
2) GS if I can do anything to help I am happy to do so, please shout.
@Damien to start the draft. Refer to previous Blackburn draft for reference
  • Remove Leicester, Sheff Utd, Watford, Stoke
  • Add Mansfield Town and Bolton. Draft position based on their current squad value

@RedRazor

look at Stoke's squad, if there's a player you can afford to buy for 1.1x face value (e.g. if player is 440k you'd bid 484k) and want to sign, say their name in this thread. If you don't want anyone, say 'Skip'. You've got 12 hours to say the name/skip and then it goes to next person to choose (gaz1185)
