I really don't get the fixation of some with the tie between me and RoryC to be honest. I'm sure he's the same.

This is a good competition and I'm enjoying being involved but I'll be keeping 100% of my attention on the main game and results in this against any player won't be particularly troubling me.

The one thing I would try to avoid is relegation because there is a certain premium tag to being in the PL of this competition on the forum.

Now for Sterling to make up my 10 point deficit tonight :rolleyes:

Look at Lemlin, like a manager in a football manager press conference trying to play down the importance of the upcoming derby.

The winner will be doing Di Canioesque slides once the Monday night bonus points have been confirmed that week.

Have to agree with this. Don't really care about winning the premier league as there are no prizes buts it nice to be competing against good opposition and i would be happy with just retaining my place in the league. On the other hand i care greatly about the paid H2H and thats where my H2H focus will be

won my tie 62 60. 2 wins out of 2. Up against my old pal Swiper this week who has lost the first 2. Trying some mind games I see with your 6 transfers and no wildcard activated yet;)

I was away for a couple of days and was playing on my phone. It was such a shít weekend for me again (FPL wise) that at some stage on Sunday evening with no players left and 44 points scored (after 42 last week) that I kind of panicked and starting fiddling around, I thought for a second before the confirm transfers and then just hit the button out of pure annoyance with everything. Of course I immediately regretted it and was lying in bed on Sunday night goading myself with all the reasons why I should have been patient. My team wasn't that bad, the only reason I am doing so poorly is that I hadn't Siggy or Ramsey,(30 points difference between them and Sanchez and Arnie) that could have been rectified without the wildcard(which I will obviously use now).
Anyway it's top vs bottom this weekend. I really need to win this one very badly.

With my tie over by Sunday some might think that the extra day between game time may be an advantage, but sometimes these things can work against you.
If I was being interviewed the question might be
“ With 2 games played in the season and both The Bottlers and Erzgebirge Scrooge are on maximum points, is this too early to be talking about title winning 6 pointers?”
My reply would be that every game whether top or bottom are potential 6 pointers at this stage of the season, but I would think that The Bottlers managed by Iago ( Brazilian no doubt with a name like that) are set up as a title 6 pointer; whereas my Erzgebirge Scrooge are keeping feet on Terra Fermi and just thinking about safety.

Just to follow on these 2 posts, I'm sure it's down to my (bad) memory, admitted lazyness to go try and find the answer by myself in last year's thread and the fact I'm not yet 100% focused on this year's season, but, why was it chosen to be a head-to-head league rather than a "classic" one? More "fun"? More people involved for top and bottom battles towards the end of the season (if that's actually the case?)? Just to mirror the real PL format?

update on the clash between top (busts) and bottom (me)

I am carrying a 10 point lead into tomorrow. We both have Adebayor. I have Sterling and Eriksen. He has Hutton, Sturridge and (gulp) Ramsey.

I'm probably going to take my hatred of Ramsey to a new level after he dumps me on my ass around 5 o clock tomorrow.

It's looking good for you after that Clyne assist.

Putting this to bed early, down by 4 my Vlaar has to out score his Sterling by 4.
Had to have a big game from Hazzard but he got the Cesc assist in the first minute; cue the water bottle being flung at the couch.
What really killed me was I had Blackett on the bench but a manager lives and dies by his team selections.

Giroud to Weimann as my transfer is currently paying off. If he can pick up the 3 bonus i will still have a chance v Thunderdog. Would basically come down to a Chambers cleanie to decide the tie.
