    Final Overall Ranking: 18,689

    Final Team Value (Value + Money In The Bank): 105.3

    Total Transfers: 59

    Your Best Transfer(s):
    I'll go with Walcott yesterday. Bit of a differential captain at a crucial time.

    Your Worst Transfer(s):
    Costa out when I thought he was injured, and deciding he was still injured for GW4. 50 point difference between captaining Van Persie and Balotelli those weeks and having him. I know its not as simple as that, but that transfer alone, all other things being equal, would have put me in the top 6k.

    Highlight of the Season: GW 28. 97 points, with only Tottenham players having a DGW. FSA Premier League was another highlight.

    Lowlight of the Season:
    I started badly. Again. Caught up in alot of my money leagues, but not all of them like the year before.

    What Have You Learned from this Season:
    Less points hits. I get carried away sometimes.

    Aims and Expectations for 2015/2016:
    18689 has been my lowest ranking since I started really taking the game seriously. I get that its still a pretty decent score but I'd like to get back into the top 10k, and hopefully beyond that. Not starting terribly would be a huge push in the right direction.

    Final Overall Ranking: - 978

    Final Team Value (Value + Money In The Bank): £104.5m & 2.1 in the bank

    Total Transfers: - 45

    Your Best Transfer(s): Bringing in Austin and captaining him just for the DGW

    Your Worst Transfer(s): - Sterling for the last few games and possibly selling Schlupp last month

    Highlight of the Season: Has to be bringing in Kane for 4.8m back in November

    Lowlight of the Season: Not too many really apart from maybe bringing in Terry too late and not captaining Kane when he got the hat-trick at home to Leicester

    What Have You Learned from this Season: Follow the crowd when deciding on who to make captain. Stick to the reliable players as opposed to bringing in differentials

    Aims and Expectations for 2015/2016: Very difficult to replicate this season again but would be very happy to be in the top 10k this time next year

    Final Overall Ranking: 3164

    Final Team Value (Value + Money In The Bank): £107.3m

    Total Transfers: - 40

    Your Best Transfer(s): Getting Silva at the right time and sticking with him. Having Di Maria when it mattered. The legendary Kasper Schmeichel these last few weeks.

    Your Worst Transfer(s): - GW 8 got Azpi in, promptly sent off, transferred him out GW 9. Lamela in GW1, should've been Siggy.

    Highlight of the Season: Heaton penalty save in GW 16 with clean sheet and bonus points. Got me a gameweek score of 98 that week. Winning €140 for 3rd place in a money league. Getting promoted to FSA premiership by the skin of my teeth.

    Lowlight of the Season: Telling everyone I knew to be sure to have Siggy from day one. Didn't follow my own advice though and have regretted losing those points since.

    What Have You Learned from this Season: Don't do anything too out of the ordinary, don't chase last weeks points. The wisdom and analysis contained in Fantasy Sports Arena is THE single most important resource there is. The incredible standard here is testament to that. Thanks all.

    Aims and Expectations for 2015/2016: Delighted with my highest ever finish. Hoping for another top 10000 finish next season.

    Final Overall Ranking: 3,587

    Final Team Value (Value + Money In The Bank): 106.7 million

    Total Transfers: 42

    Your Best Transfer(s): Gameweek 2. 4 point hit to write a couple of wrongs from gameweek 1 and it stood to my rise up the rankings for the season.

    Your Worst Transfer(s): Trippling up on Arsenal in GW37 was a disaster.

    Highlight of the Season: Being top 4k from early on and maintaining it.

    Lowlight of the Season: Repeatedly bad Captain choices.

    What Have You Learned from this Season: Judge players by form, not fixtures

    Aims and Expectations for 2015/2016: To join money leagues so that a season like this will win me money. (Yeah, I'm greedy)

    Final Overall Ranking: 14,588

    Final Team Value (Value + Money In The Bank): 107.5 million

    Total Transfers: 43

    Your Best Transfer(s): Probably getting Silva in GW19 and keeping for the season, he was a great differential.

    Your Worst Transfer(s): Lots of bad ones including Sturridge, Azpilicueta who got sent off the week I bought him but I don't think any were as bad as Baines, bought in GW12 and held him for 6 weeks where he managed a total of 7 pts for me.

    Highlight of the Season: Winning boards H2H, 12 green arrows in last 14 weeks of season to move from 105k to season high of 14.5k in GW38, Austin (C) hat-trick, Kun (C) and Kane (C) for a couple of big scores as well.

    Lowlight of the Season: Awful start, 512k after 12 weeks. Getting rid of Costa in early wildcard when he was 'injured'. Lots of 2 pt captains but I think everyone was guilty of that this season. Ignoring the Villa / QPR DGW.

    What Have You Learned from this Season: Get team right from start is key, then just be consistent / conservative.

    Aims and Expectations for 2015/2016: I've been playing 7 years and had 3 good years (top 5k, top 1k and this year) but 4 poor years mixed in as well (65k, 71k, 80k and 151k) so my main aim to better this year and hopefully get inside top 5k again.

    Final Overall Ranking: 1,851

    Final Team Value (Value + Money In The Bank): 107.9m

    Total Transfers: 41

    Your Best Transfer(s): Austin GW13, Silva Gw18, Cazorla GW23

    Your Worst Transfer(s): Baines

    Highlight of the Season: Heaton's penalty save and that whole Saturday. I was hungover as fcuk and racked up a huge score from 6 or 7 players (alas the Sunday was a letdown as per usual).

    Lowlight of the Season: Going against my gut and transferring baines in ahead of Terry. Lack of southampton defensive coverage.

    What Have You Learned from this Season: Not to go against the grain and randomly go for a player that I fancy to go on a run. Stick to the popular in form players. Managed to cut down on it this year but still hoilett, ward prowse, remy, tadic (later in the season), Kompany and kaboul were wasted transfers.

    Aims and Expectations for 2015/2016: Try and beat this year's finish but it's not gonna be easy, realistically top 5k is always a good finish. May give UFPL a go too.

    Final Overall Ranking: ~6,200

    Final Team Value (Value + Money In The Bank): £106.5m

    Total Transfers: 41 (6 hits, all -4)

    Your Best Transfer(s): It's hard to peg it down to just one. It seems strange to say, but getting Aguero in extremely early (GW6) was huge for me in private leagues as very few of my main rivals did the same. We all know what he did in GW8 and his price, coupled with the fact many had Costa and another expensive striker, meant his ownership figure was quite low. However, looking through my gameweek history I'm actually going to go for Baines. I brought him in for GW8, got hauls of 15, 7, 7, 11, 0 (someone subbed in with 6) and 1 from him before dumping him. He was a big differential for me at the time.

    Your Worst Transfer(s): Without a shadow of a doubt it was the double decision I made with the January wildcard. Eriksen and Pelle over Kane and Silva. I debated it for quite some time but went for the former. I was flying at that time and dropped like a stone, solely because of that one decision, and it took me about 10 gameweeks to recover (3 or 4 of being in denial thinking it would change, 6 or 7 to make points back). Loic Remy at the back end of the season was horrendous too.

    Highlight of the Season: The 95 point haul on Boxing Day which sent me to 220th in the world, the highest position I had ever been in playing the game, from just inside the top 1,000. Me and the lads were discussing our teams pre-kick off over a few pints. I mentioned I had brought James Chester in and started him against Sunderland which drew a few giggles. We had forgotten about it until Sky Sports News flashed up that there had been a goal at the Stadium of Light and who had scored? James bloody Chester! :pac: It was at that point that the lads just laughed in disbelief and said everything I had been doing so far this season had somehow turned to gold. A canny moment.

    Lowlight of the Season: That January wildcard.

    What Have You Learned from this Season: Stick to the tried and trusted. Even looking at next season already, if you build your week 1 team around Foster (Tony Pulis), a Chelsea defender, a West Brom defender (Tony Pulis), Sanchez, Hazard, Silva and Aguero you won't go too far wrong. That's half your squad already that doesn't need to be over-thought. Also not to bother with rotating goalkeepers. It's just not worth the hassle.

    Aims and Expectations for 2015/2016: Top 1,000. I'm also going to join as many leagues as I can that offer prizes.
