Gameweek 12 - Matchday Thread

irishfeen

73 with Vlaar to go ... Agüero saved my weekend.

Mint Sauce

Despite only earning 2 points today, still 20 points above the average. Hopefully not to many will have any WBA or Villa players tomorrow night.

bo-sco

86 points for the week and up to 57k.

Was 300k 3 weeks ago so it's been a good run.
The acquisition of Suarez and Aguero has been the key.

BNMC

67 with nobody left to play, 48 of that coming from my 3 strikers. Up to 274k overall. Content with that.

neasyerac

86 with no one else to play, Happy with that.

Iused2likebusts

72 with sess to go. 78k overall highest rank yet this year. Jumped 30k today even though I only had aguero capt. There must be a good few people in the top 100k without aguero.

G1032

Up 50,000 places to 418,000. Still making slow but steady progress
66 points so far with both Ridgewell and Sess to play.
What might have been if I hadn't sold both Oscar and Lukaku this week.

HighClass

Ended up top scorer in both my leagues with 91, surprised that it wasn't a huge scoring week for everyone tbh.

Danger781

Dropped about 13,000 places. Bit disappointing as this was one of my better gameweeks in a while.

Paully D

83 points. If you had told me I'd get that after seeing Lukaku's (who I transferred out) points haul on Saturday afternoon I'd have laughed.

wonski

75 points with Amalfitano and Ridgewell to play. Would be nice if the first one wouldn't play at all - Mirallas on bench with 11. Still good enough result. From 800k to 580k overall. If WBA keeps clean sheet tomorrow I might go below 500k.

L.A.D

Great weekend

Next weekend can't come soon enough

5th round of the Boards Champions Cup next weekend too.

Dubliner28

68 this week. Not bad considering I don't have Chewy Suarez or Aguero.

McAuley still to play so hopefully a goal and a clean sheet tonight

Harvey Low Fat Milk

62 with Benteke and Sessegnon to play so a goalfest would be welcome. Fancy Benteke for a goal or two.

Necronomicon

86 with nobody left to play, up to 77k.

L.A.D

1-1 tonight will do

neasyerac

First quarter on the boards.ie league I was ranked 928, second quarter I'm ranked third for points. I've had magical form lately, all down to Mr Aquero and Mr saurez

PARlance

Still scratching my head with the average points only being 50.

It's working out at 60-65 in some of my pay leagues.

Only thing I can think is that there are a lot of zombie teams out there and RVP may have the armband.
We might see a big jump tonight in the average if that is the case.

Any way of finding out how many people captained a player from the fpl site?
I know there are various polls etc on other sites, but I'm guessing the zombie teams don't partake in these polls.

Ignore the 'average' on the FPL site, it's never correct for the exact reason you mention above. The actual average is roughly 72 for the top end of the boards league. Numerous people in the top 50 scored above 90, with one score of 109.

Ah ya, I don't read anything into it for the most part... to be honest, I just like to have a guess at where it'll end up.

I take it there's nowhere to show how many people have captained RVP?
It'd have to be taken from the entire pool of players due to the suspected zombies as mentioned previously.

tom_k

79 points with Amalfitano to play tonight. Would be happy if he didn't and Whittingham could come off the bench with 6. Vidic and Lovren not playing means that my score is from a total of 10 men. Up over 100000 places to 148,000ish so far.

KevIRL

Need 4 points minimum tonight from vlaar and amalfitano to get a draw in my cash head to head league, 5 points will seal a win.

I think most people have him but a good few hadn't him captained. Suarez was leading the FFS captaincy poll for example. It's going to be a tough choice again next week with Aguero home to Swansea and Suarez away to Hull.

I had Aguero (c) and Zabaleta yesterday and went from 132k Saturday night to 69k last night.

Still have 4 from Mignolet to sub in so hoping I won't fall much after tonight.

Vlaar is due a yellow card soon enough! Amalfitano picks them up every now and then.... Derby game, it could all come down to them staying out of the refs book, best of luck though

Oh ya, 4 points from the 2 of them is far from a gimmie. Even without cards a 2-1 Wba win with neither of them contributing a goal or assist would mean just 3 points.

Kerrydude1981

On 80 atm with Sessegon left to play.

Looks like amalfitano will miss the game with a knee injury. So ravel to come in with 2 points. Over to you vlaar

Scorpion Sting

On 79 after 4 point hit taken into account with Sessegnon left to play. Hoping for a good performance from the Sessmeister tonight.

Miguel_Sanchez

On 83 with Vlaar still to play but with 4 points to be deducted for transfers.

Still highest scorer in my two leagues though so I'm pretty happy with this week. Now I gotta keep this going and climb!
