I didn't bring that up to rub anything in Busts, honest just hadn't been following the forum the last few days.

I'm think I've figured the transfers out now though ouch

Ye I had some serious ff rage going on earlier. I was going to do pelle to ings ended up doing rooney to Austin. I'm down 19 pts from it . Could've been a great week on 42 with 3 to go.

Miguel_Sanchez · 22-11-2014 10:44pm

34 with 5 points coming off the bench and 2 still to play.

Could have been a lot worse.

wonski · 22-11-2014 10:46pm

31 points with Forster, Clyne and Pelle left. 2 points to come when Boyd comes off the bench. Could be worse.

Red arrows - from 228 to 272 in overall ranking. Happy enough with this.
Southampton CS would be nice.

Yowza, 2.5m GW rank

Yipes, 35 (still have Boyd to sub in) is only 1.3m weekly rank. Thought I was doing ok and might not drop too far. :mad:

Edit, oops, didn't see overall rank was updated too.

So my 1.3m GW rank actually saw me rise 224 places to 2,617!! Don't quite understand the dynamics of that but I'll take it!!

shano_88 · 22-11-2014 10:50pm

32 with Tadic and Clyne to go. Could do with Tadic pulling this one out of the bag!

If you were looking for a replacement for Pelle now, who would you go for?

I rose 2k places from 27k to 25k. There'll be a lot of auto subs to come into teams this week though so we won't know a true reflection until Monday night.

Yeah, not reading into the mid weekend rank, I expect to drop back a good bit unless I get a favourable result on Monday, but I had hoped to stay reasonably static for now with that score, and the 1.3m gave me a fright!!

eh i dunno · 22-11-2014 10:59pm

Rose about 140k places and in the top 50k for this gw. Still only just inside top 150k overall

KevIRL · 22-11-2014 11:09pm

Up from 28k to 17k even with the -4 accounted for. 2 spurs players possibly left to play but sterling, Southampton players and autosubs have me worried in terms of overall rank. Will be thrilled to end the week in the top 25k if I can manage that

I assume most players would have Boyd, Chambers and the likes benched.
Don't expect a lot of points coming off the bench for them tbh.

Southampton clean sheet might change things around for you though.

Mr.Prodston · 22-11-2014 11:19pm

My 33 (-4) sees me fall back to 8k. Look it's grand, can't complain much and I won't. A clean sheet would have been nice but hopefully I'll remain in the top 10k before I strike on Monday. Although if Tadic keeps his underlying stats underlying then he'll be lying under something come next week that's for sure!

8-10 · 22-11-2014 11:20pm

Awful awful gameweek

That is a huge jump, well done. 50+ points I guess?

Rikand · 22-11-2014 11:28pm

20 points.

Gameweek rank over 3 million!!!

Dropped from 18k to 36k overall

4 to play and dummett to come in.....

"Its just a little dirty, its still good its still good".

Down to 24k... Have to wait till Monday for my final 3.
Is it next week yet???

Id go austin, bony or ings. Great fixtures for all 3 for the next few weeks. Bony is slipping under the radar as we all have siggy and in both our cases Naylor, siggy and bony may be too much. Ings earlier in the season was playing in behind jutkiewcz. Jutkiewcz has been dropped and its now barnes playing behind Ings and he is a much bigger threat now. Austin is a great shout as you can keep him till the jan wildcard. As you know I was going Ings this week but changed to Austin.
I think Ill be doing pelle to ings so will have Aguero austin Ings. Im going to go without costa have 3 chelsea already for the next 3 games and hope he picks up a yellow or gets rested . Ill then ditch fab for chadli and get costa in for ings.

FutureGuy · 22-11-2014 11:44pm

Hazard and Fabregas save a dreadful week. 34

spock. · 22-11-2014 11:55pm

47 pts and up to 11k overall!

Nib · 23-11-2014 12:03am

29 with Bertrand, Tadic and Guzan to play and Siggy's 2 auto-subbing in. Down from 3.7k to 5k. Could have been worse.

G1032 · 23-11-2014 12:09am

Can't believe I dropped just 8,500 places to 30,000 with my 27 points. GW rank of 2,400,000!!!

It'll be all red arrows in PL's I'm sure but hopefully no significant ground lost.

Going to have to take a hit next week if I bring in Costa though. Next week might not be so great either

internet_user · 23-11-2014 12:18am

I'll be 35 after auto subs kick in with clyne, tadic and pelle to go.next week 2 of those saints will probably make way.

TacT · 23-11-2014 12:27am

dropped from 42k to 79K overall after making risky transfers early. Going to suffer double villa defence in Guzan and Hutton Monday night too thanks to injury. 4 to play, miracle please :pac::pac::pac:

26, ouch

Boots234 · 23-11-2014 12:56am

Maybe I'm a little bitter but qpr didn't have a single shot on target in the game today going by match of the day yet krul got 2 bonus points......my rival in the work league had him obviously!

Be sure this is not a personal dig but this is a comment I read every week. When you're highly up into the rankings you'll need more than a bad GW to heavily drop back. Especially this week where most are having a sh*te week anyway.
I experienced it last year. Once you climb to the top, if you play it safe enough (I mean not making huge gambles captain wise and players wise) there's no reason why you would drop dramatically. If you own the main top players and you're having a mare chances are that most are having one too. On the contrary (and I experienced it the 2 years before last) when you start slow it'll require some stand-out run to climb your way up.

Just as an example, I only dropped 16k down to 128k with my miserable 30 pts today.

+1, dropped 44 places only with 31 points.

FHFC · 23-11-2014 2:06am

Jeez, only getting caught up with motd now.

Their stat on Van Persie is staggering. Touched the ball on 12 occasions today. 3 were corners he took and 2 were in his own box. One touch in opposition penalty box.

While Rooney played deep he seemed to be getting into the box more on the counter.

Good points, just not something I have ever really had experience of!!

Hope it holds true as staying close to my current rank towards the end of the season would do me nicely!!

On the other hand I suffered from playing it safe today captain wise.

Next week will be very interesting at the top. Saints good run comes to an end and there isn't really a standout captain choice like Aguero this week. Could be some big movement.

we'll see how good soton are next week for sure
I've a good feeling they will either beat city or draw at the very least myself
maybe a clean sheet is a lot to ask for though

SantryRed · 23-11-2014 2:26am

Meh week all round I think!

Got 33 with 3 to come off the bench and Bertrand, Chadli and Pellé to play.

Dropped a whole 40 places from 780th -> 820th. A good day from one of the other players should see me rise I'd say as most of the big hitters are done for the week.

Aguero wasnt the standout captain choice this weekend, more people captained Costa, a lot more!

I'm only talking about the top 10k where 53% captained Aguero; it was even higher in the top 1k (64%)

Swiper the fox · 23-11-2014 11:47am

I was saved from having a poor week by my doubling up on the Newcastle defence, how things have changed there. Lukaku and Hazard scored for me and I'm currently on 42 (-4) with three to play.
Seems like a bit of a nothing week really, I assume all serious players will have scored between 30 and 50, only Pelle and Sterling could throw the cat amongst the pigeons with huge scores.

Newcastle defenders musta been pinging shots at him!

Currently on 39 points with boyd to sub in and only pelle to go. Up to 13k. Would love if Southampton failed to keep a CS for once!

A clyne goal but with Southampton conceding would be good for me.

wonski · 23-11-2014 12:00pm

Watched the highlights of the City game and Aguero did nothing. The old Yaya looked more threatening tbh.

So you're saying you're gonna rejig your team for next week?? I know you're miles ahead of me so I say to go for it!!

In fairness nobody can score in every match, Suarez didn't do it last year.
Yaya will score goals but will he ever again be value for 10.5m, not a chance!

No, I stick with him for now. Didn't watch the whole game, maybe Swansea decided to cut him off all the action and that's how Yaya managed to move closer to the goal?

He gave me nice boost so far, like any other player he will blank from time to time. Pelle to Giroud may be considered - unless Pelle goes mad on Monday:D

In the highlights I watched he had one decent chance and laid on two big chances I.e. could have had two assists. However the return of Jovetic to tthe starting line up and two up top did reduce his involvement overall.

Did you miss the chance at the end where he was bearing down on goal and passed it to his right to Jovetic I think it was? He then shot at the keeper and Aguero was complaining he didn't square it back to him.

That should have been a goal or assist for him.

Lemlin · 23-11-2014 12:36pm

Sanchez was very hard done by yesterday. He forced a mistake by De Gea which gave Wilshire a great chance. Wilshire shot straight at De Gea instead of squaring to him for a tap in.

Then he got into a decent position when Wellbeck was on the wing but of course, as if we expected any less, Danny couldn't deliver the ball.

Decent header in the second half as well. He got a 2 pointer but he was very lively.

wonski · 23-11-2014 12:36pm

Good to know, that's why I prefer to watch the whole game rather than edited highlights:D

Like I said getting rid of him wuld be madness just because he blanked. Good to know he had his chances.

Looks like Southampton game would have more impact on rankings than the 2 games this afternoon. They had 4 clean sheets in a row, could they make it 5, please ?

I didn't watch one live game yesterday and rarely do. I don't even have Sky Sports. I cancelled my subscription. MoTD will show you any highlights worth seeing IMO.

98q76e12hrflnk · 23-11-2014 12:43pm

Can anyone tell me whats going on with sammy ameobi. I have zero knowledge on him but he looks good and seems to be getting more gametime every week. I thinking of switching boyd to him but i want know will he start now and get full games or is he an impact sub.
