So how long a ban has Aquero been given?

[delboy1983]

So how long a ban has Aquero been given?

Case not until next Thursday but he will get 3 games anyway

[antdad]

Two flipping weeks for the decision, he could go on an extended holiday.

[Arthur Brutal]

Gameweek three - the one where Aguero is banned, but Lukaku makes amends.

[Harry Lemon]

A good week for me, which would've been even better if my newly-acquired 'keeper Cech hadn't scored an OG and my goal-scoring first-choice sub had got into my first XI!

[Harry Lemon]

A good week for me, which would've been even better if my newly-acquired 'keeper Cech hadn't scored an OG

Everton's goalkeeper Stekelenburg scored an OG today. Guess who I chose to replace Cech for this week?.............

To make matters worse, the Boro player who nearly scored in the incident which led to the OG was my striker Negredo.

I thought he might have got an assist for causing the 'keeper to score the OG but no, just the 2 points for him!

Edit - I can't believe Palace put four goals past Stoke but Benteke(my captain) didn't score and didn't get an assist either!

A few of my other players had a decent weekend, so what could've been a disastrous round of games turned into an average one in the end.

After game week five Shed Eleven go top with a bit of Sterling and captaining Costa.

[Harry Lemon]

My sub 'keeper Stekelenburg has scored at least 17 points this week.

My captain Benteke missed a penalty, picked up a booking and got me -2 points.

My other five players who played today got 13 points between them.

I've got De Gea and two United defenders in my side, so if Liverpool score at Anfield, I think it will be safe to say nobody has had a more-disastrous week than me!

[Arthur Brutal]

De Gea could get injured in the warm up.

[Harry Lemon]

I hope so, Arthur!

My vice-captain Redmond had a good day(if only Benteke hadn't played!); scoring and picking up 9 points but it was another poor game for Negredo, who did very well for me at the start of the season(19 points in the first two games) but has only scored 10 points in the last six games combined!

I'll definitely be getting rid of him ASAP!

[Arthur Brutal]
