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.

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.

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?

The lads seem nice and relaxed, listening to their Beats.
Whatever had to be said has been said and they know they have to perform.
Best of luck to Igao and The Bottlers who I am sure are eager to get stuck in and maintain maximum points.

Sooner or Later · 30-08-2014 5:14pm

Sigh

On a low scoring day 4 points behind Gillespie Road at the moment (31 - 27)

Ignoring Costa and Ramsey who we both have it is him Azpil, Debuchy, Eriksen

v my Hutton, Terry and Fabregas

Looking like another defeat

FHFC · 30-08-2014 7:36pm

Leading Good Willian Hunting by 45(-4) to 32 with us both having Hutton and Rambo left. However he also has Eriksen and Debuchy who could easily score 9 between them so I'm not confident, think my hit will cost me the tie.

Sooner or Later · 30-08-2014 7:44pm

41 all now

Down to my Hutton v his Debuchy & Eriksen

roryc · 30-08-2014 8:11pm

Winning 44-36 against 'IDontKnowWhatImDoing'

I have Ramsey (c) and Debuchy vs Ramsey and Hutton. Barring a Hutton wondershow I think we can call this one a win...

That's me, yeah as good as over, Costa to Aguero really backfired on me.

roryc · 30-08-2014 8:47pm

Unlucky, wasn't a bad move.

Swiper the fox · 30-08-2014 8:54pm

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.

I'm hoping that should be enough to put me through. *cue Hutton playing the game of his life*

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

Dearg81 · 30-08-2014 11:31pm

Looks like a win for nevercaptaincleverly vs Cavan Cammandos unless Adebayor bangs in a hat trick, it's 45-31 at the moment.

Fair play to you. A win despite an 8 point hit is a great result. That second Costa goal killed any hope whatsoever that I had left.

Yea he was the difference. I was close to wild carding too this week too but decided just to take the hits.

Jeju · 31-08-2014 11:32am

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.

CSF · 31-08-2014 11:53am

I'll be battling to stay up this year. No question.

daithijjj · 31-08-2014 2:23pm

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.

Looks like I'll be the same. 3 points from 9 so far. If I finish 16th I'll be happy though!

Ya old misery guts:p I'll be thrilled if I have three points at the end of today

Far too early to consider final positions, the winner will probably win about 2/3 of their matches.

I need 15 pts from ramsey to cap an unlikely win and send swiper to the nut house.

My weeks work is done. I'm gonna watch the Dubs and Donegal (if ever there was a match that I would like both teams to lose:pac:)
The nut house is right, I need Aaron to be good to me today, every point he gets is a blow to my ranking.

You can have your win Id settle for 6 pts from ramsey. Its been a bad bad week.

I was saying that under the impression that I'd be 0 from 9 but I think Sterling and Sanchez have turned it around to give me an unlikely victory

Swiper the fox · 31-08-2014 6:21pm

Swiper off the mark and presumably off bottom spot also. Happy days.

It's Lemlin for me next, he's already given up hope of competing in this league so that should be a piece of píss;)

Haha I've heard of swiper the fox but for some reason I never realized your username was related to him. He was invading my tv only this morning robbing stuff off poor Dora!

Woop, first three points. Tight one in the end, 4 points beat the mayo maulers.

Despite an awful 49(-4) I've scraped a win at last too! That's 4 of the 5 pointless sides getting off the mark today, poor old Leedstheway is rooted to the bottom now...

Losing the lads for the two week international window isn't ideal after two losses.

That said, I'll be working with a few of the younger lads like Wisdom and Dummett over the break. You still trying to groom Andros Townsend into something that resembles a PL player!??

roryc · 01-09-2014 8:23am

Up to 3rd in the league, behind the two lads with 9 points. I play the lad in first next week, pretty similar teams so I wouldn't think there'll be much in it.

GillespieRoad · 01-09-2014 10:33am

A nervy 1 point win over Sooner or Later gives me 3 from 3 and 9 points.

Making sure he is not groomed to resemble Paul McShane of course.

iroced · 01-09-2014 1:12pm

A comfy second win for me (shame the ranking doesn't implement pts diff instead of overall pts :pac:). Chambers the hero.

Next comes the best scorer of this round. We both are on WC. So let's hope you make great choices and mines are just 1 pt better

Swiper the fox · 13-09-2014 10:43am

Are you out there Lemlin?? Haven't seen you on any threads this week.
Anyway best of luck, looks like I'll be starting from zero (no hits), my only transfer was a minor defensive one.

Sooner or Later · 13-09-2014 11:09am

Up against csf this week.

Soon find out if my wildcard was inspired or disastrous.

Would have been Costa but for the doubts about his fitness. Thought Naismith looked sharp in the game against Germany.

Looks like i will pip you this week possibly (never say never), i make it 5 behind with all your lads played. I think im 47 with Di Maria and Rooney (c) left. I'd be resigned to saying its not my year if that doesnt net me at least 5 points.

Really didn't think he would but delighted with an unexpected win. Its encouraging for the lads to pick up three points when we know we haven't played well. But I'll be looking for a big improvement on the back of some new faces next week.

Hard luck Thunderdog, very unlucky....

CSF · 14-09-2014 6:51pm

I'm going bottom. This season has been a disaster thus far.
