Gameweek 5 Report

Hi all and welcome to game week five rap up. Hopefully by now everyone has settled in and gathered a good handle on how they wish to manage their teams. INJURIES! Why are all the big name players copping injuries each week? Anyone who had Lamps in their side (which would be a lot) and who had him as captain must have no hair left. Same goes for Gerrard from Liverpool. Never the less this highlights that having the biggest names in your team not always pays the dividends. In saying this though, all is not lost!! Ronaldo, Man U's favorite son and import returns next week, and after three weeks rest...lookout Everton. The verdict as it stands. Liverpool and Arsenal sit pretty at top of the Barclays Premier League Ladder, both havent lost a game and both have a game in hand. I must say though, watching the BBC weekend rap up of the games, Liverpool are one to watch. They appear to have so much depth this year that Crouch cant even get a game (and im not even going to mention Kewell...opps just did). Same goes to Arsenal, perhaps the departure of Henry has opened the door for the whole team to pull together and not rely on one super human striker up front.....so far so good. At the other end of the table, Derby have shown themselves to be the token whipping boys team of the year, as they get hammered each week. Bolton are still struggling to get out of the drop zone, however with Anelka scoring in every game thus far Im sure they will bounce back. Now to the business at hand: Highest Game Week Honours go to: Gunners - 63 (highest league score to date) FC Tress - 61 Psycho Chickens - 60 (not bad for a bloke who has no idea about soccer!) Lowest GW scores: Knobs - 18 Bend It Like Becko - 21 Yoles - 23 Biggest Moves (position) Up: Farsenal07 +13 FC Tress, Gunners +10 boldandthebeautiful, Matt's mob +9 Biggest Moves (position) Down: Yoles -15 Bend It Like Becko -14 Burton Battlers -10 And that's about it! Usually I like to end my blog each week with a tip, however considering my team 'Howard United' is sitting in the boring spot of 31st in the league the only bit of advice I can give to you all is grab as many Derby players as possible, and make em captain!
