France's lineup was something like this:

Gignac
Henry Gourcuff Anelka

We sincerely hope you spent the entire weekend doing nothing but watching the games if not, you missed a corker of a Manchester derby and a crazy game between West Ham and Liverpool.

Why won't you score?!

Okay, so we are pretty settled into the 2009-2010 season and I am, yet again, having major issues with my fantasy team. What's going on? How can I have 14 points in one weekend? How can Michael Turner do so well for Hull and not for Sunderland? How, in the name of all that is holy, can my captain, Frank Lampard, not have scored a single goal this season?
