    Jeez... I'm looking like losing to Iago despite him taking a 16 points hit :eek:!!!

    Naughton & Martin need to get 6 pts for a draw, 7 for a win! Come on Newcastle & Stoke :D!

    If I had gone with Mertesacker instead of Gabriel I'd be home and hosed, as it stands I think it'll be a bridge too far unfortunately :(

    I could see Swansea getting the clean sheet tbh

    Wenger killing me all season, surely he could have let us know Gabriel was due for surgery :(

    CS & BP or assist for Naughton would do it. This game is crazier this year than during any of the last 5 seasons I feel. So I'd not write off any scenario to be honest.

    Imagine if I were 20 pts ahead of you and you had Wijnaldum left. I'd have celebrated victory yesterday :pac: !!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,056 ✭✭✭Sooner or Later


    Look to be continuing my alternating wins and losses with a low scoring win over Who 8 Paul.

    My 41 (-4) to his 37. We both have Gomis left but I have Fletcher (3) and possibly Muniesa coming off the bench. Unless Muniesa disgraces himself with a -4 I should scrape through.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,262 ✭✭✭iroced


    Naughton not featuring and anyway Stoke early goal gave me a nice evening. I eventually get my win (when I saw Iago took a 16 pts hit thought it was in the bag but a hard fought win in the end :eek:). Will stay third though. CSF goes a couple of pts ahead of me in the OR.

    Go me, top of something at least!!

    I'm up to fifth as well after a comfy win this week.
    Top 5 is now Busts, CSF, iroced, Lemlin and me in fifth.
    That's a solid looking top 5:cool:
    I'd be surprised if any of the other leagues could provide a top 5 of 'household' names:pac:

    Up to 15th with that win, nice to be out of the relegation zone.

    5 of the top 6 overall points scorers also. Donal the unlucky one with a good overall pts score not resulting in wins in h2h.

    Would be happy to still be there at the end. Last season I was motoring well in a CL spot right until January when I brought a certain tall Italian into my team.

    Guess who I transferred in again last weekend...... :o


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,056 ✭✭✭Sooner or Later


    3 ahead of Dearg81. We both have KDB and Francis so its his Kolarov, Mane and Pelle against my Kompany :eek: Sturridge :eek::eek: Martial and Fletcher (3) off the bench.

    Very tight.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,551 ✭✭✭✭CSF


    I need 17 from Kompany, De Bruyne and Bony to win tomorrow. Doable but I'm definitely the underdog.


  • Posts: 16,720 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    1 point ahead of Lemlin, but he has Bertrand and Martial, so pretty likely a defeat again this week.

    I'd have to expect the lads to get that between them. Kolarov not playing would suit me either because I have Nyom to sub in with 8.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,274 ✭✭✭✭FHFC


    The Kolarov Mané indeed. When he scored left me drawing with Busts and would have won if he'd sneaked a bonus which was likely. Yellow card cost me the draw and the red just added insult to injury.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,251 ✭✭✭✭Lemlin


    The Commandos are back to winning ways. We grind out a 45-42 win over Donal.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,056 ✭✭✭Sooner or Later


    Mane's two minutes of madness look to have handed me the tie by one point


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,262 ✭✭✭iroced


    Defeat for me. A crappy GW that hopefully is the final point of my bad choices last 2 GWs.

    Think that's three wins on the bounce, continuing the journey from relegation zone to mid table obscurity

    When an historic win was in your grasp the pressure just got too much for your players in the end . Mane behaving Chadli indeed.

    Yup, congrats. Hope to take the three points in the return leg like I did last year!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,251 ✭✭✭✭Lemlin


    Up against my arch nemesis Swiper this week. He has 39 + Lukaku (c) vs my 46 + Pelle and Bertie. Still very much up in the air.


  • Moderators, Regional East Moderators Posts: 23,228 Mod ✭✭✭✭GLaDOS


    54 - 25 lead over skippy15. His Pelle, Mane and Lukaku vs my Pelle and Cedric to go. Have it won barring something outstanding from Mane and Lukaku.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test



  • Registered Users Posts: 17,022 ✭✭✭✭Iused2likebusts


    after 8 wins on the bounce im in trouble this week. Zarquon has a 2 point lead and pelle (c) to my mane.

    You have a nice 5 point lead at the top so I'd like to try and cut into it.

    I'll give you the points now and move onto next match-white flag waved!
    even if mahrez somehow comes of the bench

    having a dreadful few weeks- newborn baby effecting my ff prospects lol

    Dead level with FHFC on 38 points

    We both have Van Dijk so I am relying on the unlikely scenarion of Kane and Francis outscoring the combination of Lukaku, Mane and Pelle

    Good man. Was hoping whoever I was playing would post an update so i didn't have to look it up and could go to bed... ;)

    Lukaku will get 14 x 2 = 28 putting Swiper on 67. Well played sir.

    Not in a month of Sunday's will my two lads get 21.

    Ha, just posted about it on the other thread, we had very similar teams, looked like my decision to bench The best player in the world would bite my ass,

    I'd be delighted with a win here

    Looks like you were right, no way they were getting any more than 20


  • Posts: 16,720 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Another loss unless Kane doesn't play - have Kane to go, and Devestated has Kane captained.

    Nope. Bertie's 2 bps will put you 49-46 ahead. I need Kane to get more than 2 points

    Oh right, fantasy football buddy doesn't show the points hits. I'd kinda like Kane to go nuts, all the same.

    Bony instead of Lukaku fooked me. Nobody to blame but myself as it was my decision.

    Nudged iroced by a point this week. Bertrand being nudged out of the 3 by Davis ended up being enough to see it home in a huge battle between 3rd and 4th.

    That mean Kane needs 23+?

    Hopefully will hold on so!

    Bertrand was a hero.

    Kolarov's to blame :mad:. I can't believe that if the ref whistled the end of the game 2min earlier I'd have won this H2H :pac:...

    Overall, I'm quite mad at him. I'm looking at an 8 pts swing min. I'm not inspired nor lucky on my late transfers (Bony instead of Lukaku ; and Kolarov) :rolleyes:...

    Well played though. A point is still a point ;).

    Winner alright. Close run thing in the end. 5 wins on the bounce now, and gone from relegation zone to challenging for a European spot...

    I still have the sixth highest overall score, but I'm now languishing in 20th! Not a great start.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,251 ✭✭✭✭Lemlin


    I should win against Tom_k barring a Moreno wondershow. I lead 39-27. We both have KDB + Sanchez so it comes down to his Moreno vs my 12 point lead and Kolarov + Souare.

  • Posts: 16,720 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Mixy game versus game of throw ins. I'm on 31 versus his 33. He has KDB captain, Sanchez, Kolarov, I have KDB, Sanchez, Ward, Kolarov and Kane.

    I'd fancy him to take the 3 points with KDB captain. Ward should concede, so I'd need Kane to do something to try to win this.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,262 ✭✭✭iroced


    Gillespie attacking line hurt me (Deeney, Lukaku, Vardy). Need my captain KDB to outscore his (Yaya) and Arsenal to concede.

    2 pts behind and my Kolarov-KDB(C)-Sanchez-Bony vs his Cech-Mertesacker-Yaya(C)-Ozil.

    A well needed 3 points taken from Game Of Throw Ins. Delighted.

    Will be off the bottom of the table going into the international break.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,747 ✭✭✭Swiper the fox


    What looks like a narrow win over FHFC is the only silver lining on what has been a cloudy week, still right in the hunt for the top prize.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,056 ✭✭✭Sooner or Later


    A comfortable enough victory over Science Nerd to consolidate my mid-table position, my captain Vardy to his Sanchez being crucial.
