Well well well . . . .once again we were brilliant against mid-table opposition. Potter out maneuvered the planet's best manager at the world's biggest club as Leeds offered us up a number of goals-on-a-plate and this time, we took a couple. They could not break down our centre-back 5 or get past Biss in the middle. I suspect Potter was concerned about blocking out the flanks as that is where Leeds are normally pretty progressive. He did that successfully as Sanchez hardly made a save with all but a few speculative shots from the edge of the box threatening to ruin our day.

The perfect 10 of pickers all picked the 5 centre backs we know Potter loves to play with. Fine predicting by myself, [MENTION=35761]Iford Albion[/MENTION], [MENTION=9708]Farehamseagull[/MENTION], [MENTION=616]Guinness Boy[/MENTION], [MENTION=17301]mwrpoole[/MENTION], [MENTION=286]Garry Nelson's Left Foot[/MENTION], [MENTION=13265]Super Steve Earle[/MENTION], [MENTION=38333]Swansman[/MENTION], [MENTION=266]Don Tmatter[/MENTION] and [MENTION=28779]FannieMac[/MENTION].

It's getting close at the summit now with the top 14, all mathematically able to win. With just 100 points left, a series of top scores could take the title for a number of pickers.

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 defensive 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 . . . . . .

Just Lallana, Lamptey, March & Andone out. So will Potter keep with the same team as the Leeds fixture or give some others a chance by freshening things up as he attempts to keep players interested for the final four fixtures?

Is it time for Connolly or Zeqiri to replace the misfiring Maupay?
Will this be the game where Welbeck has a break?
Jahanbakhsh & Izqueirdo will be looking to be more than subs - will Potter pick either?
Are we set for 5 centre backs or can Moder get back in the side on a flank?
Mac Allister & Alzate will be desperate for game time but it might cost Gross his place, is he still undroppable?
Whatever happened to the Lion of Judah? Will he be kept in his cage again?
Will we ever see the stylish Propper start again? If so, will this be the game?

What do YOU think he'll do?

Have you got what it takes to Predict Potter's Picks?

Select the team you think he'll pick!

Hey Hugo. Thanks for the shout out. Always a thrill. In my effort to reach the Top Forty, I rushed to check my position, only to find at least a dozen players were in the wrong position for their points total. To my horror, I should be at least five places higher. Has it always been thus, have I simply not been paying attention or have the runes foretold our future final positions already.

Thanks for the heads up on that! Well spotted. The scores are entered on a spreadsheet and then sorted from high to low; then copy & paste and normally ok. However, I’ve obviously mucked it up this time. I’ll press some more buttons and hopefully folk will return to their rightful places.

Although Burn was taken off to avoid further humiliation last time against Wolves think he will play. Potter keen to get Ali involved last 2 games so hope he starts. He wouldnt have to defend much with Veltman behnd him
