End of the second week and an altogether better performance from my team.
Hurrah! Very good indeed!
I am now first in my mini-league of 28 people, having scored 130 points this week to take me up to 194 points. I lead the field by 13 points, which is pretty good.
I am also in the top 100 in the country, at number 68. This is much less important to me but is quite pleasing as there are over 27,000 players.
- Thierry Henry. 2 goals and 1 key contribution, played the whole game and double points for being my star player (total 15 points, doubled to 30 points).
- Gerrard. 1 goal and 1 key contribution, played the full game and double points for being my star player for his set of kick-offs (total 10 points, doubled to 20 points).
- Alan Smith. 1 goal and 1 key contribution, played the full game and double points for being my star player for his set of kick-offs (total 10 points, doubled to 20 points).
- Hasselbaink and Anelka - my other two strikers both scored in their games.
- Terry and Bridge - Chelsea kept a clean sheet again (as did Fulham, which was good for my goalkeeper).
- Pires and Euell - two of my midfielders who scored in their games.
In other words, most of my team! I was pleased that I deselected my Middlesborough defenders for yesterday's game against Arsenal, as well.
Now I just need to maintain this sort of performance...
Erratum: I am not the only girl playing after all, there is another of us - Tasha is also playing, however she's in a different Deloitte group. I still think it's up to me to ensure the girls do well.
