Adrián Lopez scored if anyone has him

Raúl García with the assist

0-1 Atlético

shayno90 · 26-11-2013 10:50pm

Late goal conceded by Chelsea, no big score tonight, expect more tomorrow night from the other 7 players.

I'm currently 20th in the boards league, I see KevIrl right behind me, Fingers a couple of places further back, Crumbs is absolutely kicking ass, he posts here right(same guy???). What's the names of ye're teams to the rest of ye so we can ramp up the competition. Mine is Evil Gus Parkers XI

Yeah, that's me. I've taken a risk on Dzeko tomorrow! :eek:

Swiper the fox · 27-11-2013 12:38pm

Very low average(14) from last nights games, I managed 37 including captain Lewandowski, down to 23 now after my transfers out for tonight. Moved up to 13 on boards league before the changes, hoping for a good return from Ibra tonight, assume he'll play a major part as PSG will want to ensure topping the group right?? Robben will surely play also as Munich have a few important players injured.

Forgot to change my team yesterday at lunch so had Messi and Ronaldo starting.

i feel your pain.....

i got caught out on the early KO a few match days back and of course alaba goes and scores and keeps a clean sheet. dropped from 2nd to 10th in the boards league and top 1,000nd to top 10,000nd. playing catch up now with differentials like neymar yesterday (disaster) and tevez tonight. had the armband on jackson martinez yesterday but might switch it to tevez and see what happens.

shayno90 · 27-11-2013 5:42pm

Make your substitutions now before the early match at 5pm.

jma · 27-11-2013 10:23pm

Bit of a disaster for me. Negredo (captain hasn't played a minute). I was sure Aguero would be rested.
Di Maria ended up playing and got 10 points. I have him on the bench.
Marquinhos didn't start. And Alaba and Lahm didn't do anything for a change.
At least getting Vidal in wasn't a bad move (he got a hat trick).

Edit: Negredo just came on for Nasri and scored in the 78th minute. At least something

KevIRL · 27-11-2013 10:49pm

58 points (-4) this week, although Rooney only has 3 assists so far, expecting that to go up to 4 and another 3 points, sometimes recovered balls points dont get added till later also.

We shall see!

Swiper the fox · 09-12-2013 6:27pm

Hey fellow Champs league players, is there anywhere to get reasonably accurate predicted lineups for these games, I appear to have a very depleted squad and don't have much time to study what's what.

Messi still out, Ibra rested, Robben injured, many teams with nothing to play for, this could be very tricky!

I found the Sports Republic app the other day and that has a good CL section in it. I haven't been able to find a decent website though. From what I've seen so far:

Man City
Silva is back and may feature. Nastasic and Yaya out. Hart likely to play.

United
Rooney back, Vidic, Evra and Smalling out. Kagawa could feature.

Chelsea
Luiz and Oscar trained with squad yesterday and could feature

Madrid
Ronaldo is back and Ancelotti said "he will play on Tuesday without any problem." Bale also expected to play. Benzema may be rested again in favour of Morata.

Juventus
Pirlo is out until after Christmas

Barcelona
Messi, Valdes and Dani Alves are out.

PSG
PSG expected to rest Ibrahimovic, Marco Verratti, Alex, Thiago Silva and Gregory van der Wiel with qualification already assured

would you like predictions as well......?

Swiper the fox · 10-12-2013 4:31pm

Cheers for the thought Swoody but those predictions are very dodgy, Ibra hasn't travelled with PSG and Evra is injured, Hart certain to start for City etc

so cavani will be up top with Pastore starting. put buttner in evras place and switch costel and hart. every other line up is bang on i think.

who you worried wont play?

Swiper the fox · 10-12-2013 5:27pm

Thing is I won't be at a computer when the lineups are announced, I'd like to know with some certainty that Ronaldo and Ribery will start in particular.

just squeezed my transfers in there with 10 seconds to go.... :pac:

extra gravy · 10-12-2013 8:31pm

Got Ronaldo back in and took the captaincy off Rooney...hope this doesn't backfire

KevIRL · 10-12-2013 8:39pm

Got it done in the end, but would have liked to have made another transfer or 2. Team is laden down with players playing tonight as I know the line ups

Willand (Forster)
Marquinhos/Rajtoral/Campbell/Nacho/Chedjou
Kagawa/Pogba (Reus/Poli/Draxler)
Ronaldo/Rooney(c)/Balotelli

The old 5-2-3 formation :cool:

Campbell is a defender playing up front according to FFS

Pretty nuts

The match is due to continue tomorrow at 2pm GMT. Does that mean the points scoring will pick up from then on too or are we stuck with the points from tonight. There doesn't seem to be anything in the rules about it.

I'm not subbing out any of my lads from that game anyway

Swiper the fox · 11-12-2013 11:06am

The transfer window opens after the conclusion of Juve/Gala. I didn't think as much at the time but it appears I've done very well to have 39 points so far, I'm a bit annoyed that I picked the Campbell lad for Olympiakos as I had Saviola in my wildcard team before I read that FFS article, I also had Phil Jones in but with Buttner available at 4m I didn't fancy doubling up on United defenders.

I'll be moving the armband onto Lewandowski for tonight.

Swiper the fox · 11-12-2013 3:51pm

An assist for Drogba has given me another little boost, the Boards.ie official league is very close outside of the first two, there are a number of people could be in third place tonight,

KevIRL · 11-12-2013 4:54pm

Is the Boards league called 'Boards.ie' or 'Boards.ie official' I am in both and think one is a carry over from last year

shayno90 · 11-12-2013 7:14pm

Switched captaincy to Lewandowski, could have done with reading the FFS Champs league article. Need a stormer from the captain now.
Think the boards.ie official is the main league.
Juve out is the big surprise.

swoody · 11-12-2013 7:52pm

gunna give the armband to Neymar for the laugh

KevIRL · 11-12-2013 8:05pm

Mad Mario gets the armband for me.

My defence have really done well this week

Swiper the fox · 11-12-2013 8:09pm

Took a punt on Cahill and now I can't transfer him back out.

Alexi Sanchez gets my armband.

KevIRL · 11-12-2013 8:52pm

Lewandouksi goal already

shayno90 · 11-12-2013 8:55pm

Good stuff, need to cover the points hits I took with a few goals from him, pity I got rid of Ronaldo, thought he would be rested since RM have qualified.

Great shout. Didn't he get an assist as well?

Draxler the only one doing anything for me tonight

NN215 · 17-02-2014 6:37pm

champions league is back .
make sure to update your team

shayno90 · 18-02-2014 12:25pm

Going with the 3 big hitters up front, Ronaldo/Messi/Ibra. Expect a big score between them.

KevIRL · 26-02-2014 9:59pm

Forgot to move captaincy from Messi to Ronaldo

.

Still on 81 points so far for the GW though

Swiper the fox · 08-04-2014 5:40pm

Anybody still playing this??
My team is full of doubtfuls for tonight, not sure if I'll be near a computer between 645 and 730, will Ronaldo play tonight, will Diego Costa play tomorrow?
Anywhere with up to the minute information on this stuff????

shayno90 · 10-04-2014 12:37am

Still playing but have forgotten over last 2 gameweeks to change team.
Had Ronaldo captain so no points there, my defence got the points this week, attackers get 2 or less.

Crumbs · 25-05-2014 11:43am

Looks like I won this Boards league for the third year in a row. Also 1st in Ireland and 186th overall.

Swiper the fox · 25-05-2014 11:52am

Fair play Crumbs, that was good going. I finished 3 in Boards, 25 in Ireland and 4k overall. I missed the deadline for one of the match days as there was a game in Russia but I was never within an asses roar of yourself and Simon. As I recall you had an extraordinary week 1 and never looked back.

Swiper the fox · 14-09-2014 2:34pm

I'm posting here so it will appear in the followed threads of last years players.

Is there any interest in this competition this year. I've had such a crappy start to FPL that I'm definitely gonna set up a team anyway. Anybody want to set up a league.

KevIRL · 14-09-2014 2:35pm

Not for me this year. FPL and ultimate is enough for me

Scorpion Sting · 14-09-2014 6:01pm

I joined this last week. Didn't really have much interest in it last year but I will try to follow it a lot closer this season.

15-09-2014 5:11pm

Go on then, I've set up a league seeing as no one else did.

Edit: Code removed
