    Ah no I'd say you have that unless Gomis really turns it on

    He could do. I'm also worried about Hoolahan. He's more than capable of a decent score and Saints may have a European hangover.

    Given the way this season is going for me, I fully expect a combined 4 points from Gomis and Hoolahan.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    Another loss - that's one win from four. Not a great start

    Three from four for the Commandos. Took a wildcard to defeat the lads in the match we lost.

    They now head off for the international break highly confident.

    Same, all 100% records are now gone, so 7 of us sit on 9 points with 3 wins from 4 if my count is correct.

    Realistically had no chance after yesterday but happy to see I could lower the margin, 46-41 final score. Relegation from I'm in now though all can change this early on. Congrats

    Another gomis goal would have won it for you with the possible 3bps.

    Leading 33-28 but he has Darmian & Depay to make up these 5 pts. So looks like my second defeat in a row. The 7 pts wasted on the bench from Myhill could have given me a real edge...
    Well your United duo gave you a combined miserable 2 pointer that suited me perfectly :o...

    40-37 final score. Happy with it considering my 4 pts hit & Myhill benched.

    Same here :cool:. Think I should just claim top spot back for 1 pt from our overall score :P.

    Early days but I gladly take those 9 pts. Last year 45 pts were needed to avoid relegation. So if the trend is to be followed, I need 12 more wins from 34 games :p, just a bit more than a win every 3 games. Sounds much too easy said like that :rolleyes: :pac:...

    It's very easy to fall into the relegation battle. I was flying and up to second last year, may even have been top for a week, and then went on a terrible run of form.

    It was touch and go for a while.

    How many points won this last year? Was it about a 70% win rate?

    I've two wins from 4 so staying in touch in this despite a horrific start overall. It me and you (iroced) next week so I'll have to brush the dust off my well loved copy of 'How to wind up a Frenchman while remaining upwind':p

    And our 2 H2H games...

    GW | French Flair | Choke Tackle
    11 | 74 | 73
    30 | 73 | 70
    Both close affairs but I eventually won them both. If I exclude Saint André era that mirrors quite well the French-Irish records :P.


    -- edit --
    I know I know you stole me second place on the last GW.

    Looks like another win for the Commandos against Boots234.

    He's on 24(-4) with Payet and Mahrez to go. I'm on 34 which will be 35 when Gomez subs in. I have Mahrez and Huth to go.

    So Boots needs 15 + Huth's score from Payet. Not impossible but would be some kick in the balls for me if he pulled that out of the bag.

    I need 10 points from Defoe and PVA(subbing in) for a draw with league leader iroced (11 for a win obviously)
    As a Spurs fan I'm hoping Defoe does the business for me in a Spurs victory, they need the points even more than me:P

    Ya you have it unless Payet does something incredible Monday night but that is highly unlikely with the way that my season has been going so far!

    Had I stayed strong re Benteke and not been seduced by young Wilson I'd have this game almost wrapped up. Now it's close enough to give me a tense afternoon tomorrow :p...

    My Sakho vs Richards (plus 1 point). Anybody's game. Benteke goal blew the game wide open unfortunately.

    16 point lead plus Payet versus Mahrez and Schmeichel. Hoping to claim my first victory.

    In other news, I just realised I have Gomis, Gomez and Gomes on my team :pac:

    4 points behind Gillespie Road

    We both have Mahrez, so I need Scmeichel and Payet to get 5 between them for a win. A Leicester cleanie against Villa would do it.

    3 injuries to deal with and Myhill retaining his place has cost me again. I know it's early but i can't see myself repeating my late season form of last year which i think was 19 or so wins out of 21 games. Perhaps my start was worse last season, i have no idea because i keep no records of anything.

    Holding out on taking transfer hits to save H2Hs and cup games is a PITA. It cost me in overall ranking last year and i'm repeating the same mistakes again. I'm in one €400 cup game where they don't discount transfer hits at all which is crazy as people can rejig their entire team on a week by week basis for each phase of the cup.I thinks it's better to focus on overall strategy and just start treating H2Hs as a nice bonus if they come through.

    True re h2hs. I wouldn't go outa my way to enter a paid h2h, the moolah one was part of the package in that league. I wouldn't avoid a hit over a h2h, although I did take opportunity to do one this week with no cup or champions league in Harps competition.

    Keep the faith btw. You sound disillusioned in recent posts. I agree that not over planning atm may be a good approach which is why i think I'll bank my transfer and observe for another week before trying to make any major adjustments.
