FSA Premier League Thread 15/16

Swiper the fox · 08-08-2015 11:54am #1

I'll get this rolling, fixtures will be up soon, just hope I don't have Lemlin week 1 as I'll have no chance to give him the week long spiel.
Zarquon defends his title, perhaps somebody will be good enough to post the Boards names next to the team names and I'll paste it into this opening post.
Good luck all.

Thanks to TomK

My opponent used the all out attack. Gway Sakho

Swiper the fox · 08-08-2015 1:01pm

Who's captain cummo?? Promoted team I'd say, first time I've played anybody with the same surname as me!

Would have been an easy three points for the Commandos.

Against Gillespie Road this week, a tough opener.

I reluctantly joined the bandwagon. On series 3 at the moment. It was either that or a Jesse style rant :

So I went to the fixtures dude and said Yo bitch! Who am I up against? I am just totally going to waste his ass! And he said "Los Pollos Hermanos" So I'm up against an entire restaurant chain? What's up with that? It's...it's...it's Kafkaesque!

You have so much happiness in your near future. But probably not from your H2H result this week

You're on top of this one it seems. 32 (incl bonus) against my 24 (incl bonus). I do have 6 players to your 4 but that will hardly matter unless Arsenal perform very well. Fingers crossed for a clean sheet in that one

The odds are in your favour.

We both have Bellrin, Sterling and Benteke so it's your 11 plus Payet v my Mane and Milner

Yeah I'm still very conscious of how quickly that could change.

Who_8_Paul? · 09-08-2015 4:21pm

Looks like a bad start for my minnows in the Premier League. The manager could be gone by Christmas

Swiper the fox · 09-08-2015 6:37pm

3 points in the bag unless Sterling goes into minus figures.
Still don't know who my opponent is though (Captain Cummo)

CSF · 09-08-2015 6:57pm

3 points for me also. ScienceNerd next.

Lemlin · 09-08-2015 8:42pm

Who is VaudevillianVeterans? I lead by six points but he has Aguero to play which could change everything.

Unlucky with sub order as well. Coates to come in with -1 while Richards sits back.

KevIRL · 09-08-2015 9:12pm

42-42 once autosubs are in and my aguero v his silva and bony

Kolarov Mane leads The Colour of Matic 36-19 with my Aguero v Sterling.

Safe enough I'd say.

tom_k · 09-08-2015 10:05pm

Comfortable enough win incoming with a 12 point lead over IDontKnowWhatImDoing who had the misfortune to have two players (Courtois and Kaboul) with minus scores. We both have Sterling to play.

I'm Depay me by Cech.

tom_k · 09-08-2015 10:44pm

Here's the (hopefully error free) full list of competitors in the FSA Premier League 2015/16. Would be great if Swiper (as he already suggested) can paste this list into his opening post for handiness. Team IDs are in bold as team names may change. Let me know if I've made any mistakes and I'll correct them.

So you are Devestated? You bloody lucky b@st@rd that can make up 5 pts with flukey autosubs :mad: :P :pac:...

Hope now that Aguero makes a Walcott :P.

My Walcott+Huth over Ramsey+Gomez/Cédric could be costly here...

Lemlin · 10-08-2015 10:37pm

A win for the Commandos. Nice to take 3 points despite the lads not playing well.

FHFC · 10-08-2015 10:38pm

3 points comfortably in the bag here too. Also won my other h2h in one of my way too many pay leagues.

Winning start here too. Yaya cost me moolah H2H unless Silva gets the dubious award! In 11 pay leagues myself and had another 5 good pay leagues that i had no room for!

11 as well. Thankfully 2 of them are shoe ins!

Jesus, just realised that the guy in the Moolah league had Kompany. Still win by 1 point, only cause neither of his 4.0 bench defenders play so he has nobody coming in for Baines.

Would love to. There is a cash prize this year though. Will post about this soon.

iroced · 11-08-2015 10:37am

I'm starting the season like I finished last

. A good win against the joint third best score of the league to give me top spot

(I know, very early days, but still, nice to lead this super competitive league for a week at least

). Hopefully I can keep the momentum going.

Lemlin · 14-08-2015 12:01pm

Up against Dearg81 this week. Strikers and defence are fairly similar. Midfield is where the key differences are.

I brought in Payet last night for Walcott. I hope I dont regret that move.

I took him out for Mahrez earlier in the week. Payet looks a good pick. I am keeping an eye on him.

CSF · 15-08-2015 6:53pm

Looking decent for a 2nd win at the moment. Sterling, Ramsey, Ritchie and Francis vs Bellerin and 26 points. Sterling and Ramsey the likely players who could turn that sort of gap around.

CSF · 15-08-2015 9:00pm

Guys, happy to announce that entirely down to finnharpsboy, we will have a 125 euro cash prize for the winner of the FSA Premier League.

Still fundraising if anyone can source any further prizes, and I will continue to filter down any cash prizes using the same split decided on between myself and finnharpsboy. 50% will go to the Premier League. The other 50% will be filtered down to the other leagues proportionally.

I'm the Liverpool of the FSA Premier League, champion before the big money hit the league, destined to be counting the pennies while the new elite splash the cash to consolidate their position !

iroced · 15-08-2015 11:21pm

Leading Liverpool of the FSA Premier League (:p) 30-27 despite my 4 pts hits.

5 players left each, though this include my captain Benteke. And it'll be mainly down to him, I reckon.

Fair play to finnharpsboy for the prize

.

Sooner or Later · 16-08-2015 7:41pm

Looks like I've taken a big scalp this week from Swiper, despite only hitting a miserable 22 with 3 to play

Lemlin · 16-08-2015 7:48pm

A second win for the Commandos. I lead Dearg81 40-34. We both only have Benteke left and I captained him.

Well done, I should have captained Benteke too not that it would have made any difference.

His Ritchie-Henderson-Benteke vs my Benteke (C).

And chances are I'll be even more generous next week giving WC-Busts a probable 8 pts hit. Ah I'm too good... it'll be my undoing :pac:...

2 defeats from 2 for me. Time to kickstart my season by defeating the leader.

CSF · 18-08-2015 9:36am

Think I lost my first 2 last year. So 4th is a very welcome change.

Not looking a good decision since, Memphis tonight and this match up have just made it allworth while!

You b@st@rd :pac:!

Though you must be going senile since I don't know whom you did give your head start to last year but it certainly wasn't me. I started mid third of the table for about 2 months, then I slowly sank to the bottom third of the table, flirting dangerously with the relegation zone that I managed to always avoid and I finished like a bullet (I'd be curious to know my second half of the season rankings).

Oh and just to refresh your apparently senile memory, here is how you really won last year
