Well well well . . . .Such a good 1st half and one picker in particular was patting himself on the back whilst chowing down on some Kroppkakors, that is until the substitutions were made. 
Lots of pickers got to within 1 player of victory but yet again, only one picker managed to Predict Potter's Picks and it's a man who knows him well!
Well done to [MENTION=38333]Swansman[/MENTION] and thanks for sending me a pic of you and the celebratory trinket I sent you, I'm sure you won't mind me sharing it with the group!
NEASTGULL still has a tiny 4 point lead, but it seems the Swanny charge has started to gather pace so those at the top will need to be aiming for maximum points in order to keep hold of their lofted positions.

How to play:
As per usual, you just need to select Potter’s starting 11 alongside his starting formation.
1 point - Correctly selected player
3 points - Correctly selected formation
11 points - Bonus if you correctly select the whole team and formation.
25 points is your top score, just like in F1.
Competition closes just before the official team release (1hr before K.O.).
It's easy!
So . . . . . .
We still know that Lamptey, Webster & March are out, probably for the rest of the season. Izquierdo got a bench place so could be in contention for a start. Is Andone ready yet? Connolly missed the last game but you'll have to wait for the press conference (Friday?) to get an update on his fitness.
Has the time come for the Lion of Judah?
Can Potter rely on the fitness of Lallana from the start again?
Is this Moder's time?
Can Alzate force his way back in?
Will Karbo get at least a bench place?
Will Zeqiri's height be useless against the Southampton giant?
What do YOU think he'll do?
Have you got what it takes to Predict Potter's Picks?
Take your pick!
