DAILY TOON ROUTE 66 COMPETITION

Post your guesses for the DT ROUTE 66 competition (Manchester City  away) below. The players names and squad numbers are shown below. As Screacher was pointing out last week that the pretty pretty black background boxes with white text were not revealing the names on some peoples systems, I have taken the background colour and white text away. Hopefully everyone will now be able to see the names and numbers.

Brief reminder of the main objective of the game: Put yourself into YBRs place and guesstimate what the starting 11 will be for the game. Count up the numbers on all of the shirt to give you a cumulative total and that is your entry figure.

20 points are awarded for a spot on guess and you will be deducted 1 point for each number you are away regardless of whether the guess is above or below the actual number. So for example, if the total of the shirts at the start of the game was 100 there are point on offer for a guess of between 81 and 119.

1: Shay Given

Gus....I don't understand why you can't see the grid this week, but if I understand what you are saying right,

You say you have already decided on three 3 players that add up to 70! you have then added Shearer to make it 79.

Now if you are adding the rest you have named, Griffin who is 12, Hughes 18, Domi 4, Solano 15, Speed 11, Dyer 8, and Cordone 17, this adds up to a grand total of 164 is that the correct figure you want to play on.

Can you let me know off board what it is you can actually see at the top of the thread. Last week screacher said that he couldn't see certain ones because it seemed like the white text on a black backound didn't work properly in his browser, so I would like yto know what you can actaully see. Can you send it to the Hotmail address below, as my Freeserve address has somehow got screwed up.
