What a frustrating game that was! Three Top Scorers today as cardinalcanary, DHcanary and carrowcanario all scored a whopping 42 points by nailing the line-up with a joker on it and nailing all 7 subs as well (the 'line-up' is the one released at 2pm, so it is not affected by Pinto's injury). That moves cardinalcanary back to the top of the table with a lead of 11 points while DHcanary moves up to 2nd and carrowcanario up to 4th to show just what a difference a single prediction can make if you're daring with your jokers!

CORRECTION: I've just realised that I scored today wrongly by thinking that 3 subs were used when it was only 2. It doesn't change the table at all, but Jedicanary does gain 5 points (or loses 5 points less). Nobody else is affected in terms of places in the table. Sorry for the mistake, which I'll highlight again before Tuesday's match. RER
Thanks Rick. Much as I'd like to take all those points, I think Ivo Pinto getting injured in the warm-up messed up everything.
I should have made it clear again here, cardinal, but I made a decision before the match started and put it on the prediction thread that this would be the case: "For anybody wondering, the 'starting line-up' is the one chosen by AN at 2pm, so it is not affected by Pinto's injury in the warm-ups." The points are yours, mate, so well done to all 3 of you.
There is one thing that you are not taking into consideration RER, if my selcted starting 11 differs from ANs, it is because he has made a mistake. believe you have failed to take this fact into consideration. Thanke in anticipation of a shed load more points. ( WELL. IT'S WORTH A TRY)
