Delighted with wildcard, 74 points with Sagna and Ozil to play, I nearly changed my mind about kolorov and was going to keep Evans, glad I didn't now.

Its rough enough but I don't think it was a bad decision as such. Sagna, Coleman and Azpi were my three defenders. Coleman and Azpi got clean sheets and Sagna may very well do the same. I thought Newcastle would score at home vs City. (they did in reality but wrongly disallowed)

I'm going to leave myself and a selection headache but I like the depth of my defence. Poor Chester is probably never going to get a game!!

Thos 12 points would have moved me up to inside 33,000 instead I'm in 49,000!!

irish son

73(77-4) so far for me with just Podolski left to play. I think I'll be very much in the minority on here hoping for Arsenal to concede and to a lesser extent nothing for Ozil.

Bingo, back to roughly where I started the gameweek.

Yep, you scored same as me and I dropped back a few hundred spots. Average for actives is 65.

where do you get the average for actives figure?

CSF

61 with Koscielny and Ozil to play. Into the top 120000 for the moment. Thinking that I'll need about 15/16 points to make it back to the top 100000 which is where I want to be very soon. Think I'll need to wait til next week to do that.

BNMC

66 with Jester to come in with 2 and Chesney to play. Not really sure an Arsenal CS would do anything for me as everyone seems to have Mert or Kosc. Up to 126k now, slowly heading towards the top 100k.

I think I'll have to WC this week as having Walcott tying up so much money is not a good idea.

Dempsey

They really should have averages for the top 10k, 50k, 100k, 250k & 500k aswell

Just worked it out myself based on a quick look at the average scores in the top 50 of some of the bigger leagues, including boards. And the fact that both myself and Kev scored 64 and dropped back very slightly.

Yeah that would be great! Drop them an email and they may add it next season.

lol and presented an estimate as fact, love it :pac:

Mint Sauce

75 points, 3 coming off the bench, none left to play.

Up around 100k places since yesterday morning, although expect to drop slightly again with Villa V Arsenal. Heres hoping Villa cause an upset with a few Arsenal players getting sent off.

Do we have to post 'imo' after everything! It's not up on site so obv I've worked it out myself...

FHFC

After flirting with top 16k last night I'm back down to a few hundred below where I started at about 18.5k, hopefully even another 4 from Merts and Sagna will lift me back slightly.

Average from the 72 players signed up to the new Boards ranking league is 64, all active obviously.

That'll be a handy indicator in future.

Boom!

Crazy how much higher it is that the 47 average listed in the game. Gives people a false sense of security.

I only ever use it when I have a shocking week

I'm 10 above "our" average, Ozil to play tomorrow, quite high ownership of Arsenal players so I'll be hoping to cling on tomorrow.

Expected a drop today (no captain today ) after going from 348k to 235k last night. Down to 285k now... Steady progress of late, need to keep chipping away and captain the right person when everyone else is.

Schoolboy errors this year in my first active year.

SlickRic

72 with Kos and Ozil to play.

continuing to creep up the rankings week by week.

if Ozil and Kos score well (particularly Ozil) I could be within 50 of the leader in my main league. it was over 100 before Christmas.

Aguero apparently in line to return midweek.

Yep, slow and steady improvements are the way forward. If Sagna keeps a clean sheet tomorrow I'll have narrowed the gap on my main rival to 35 points with 17 GW's left, so I'll need to beat him by slightly more 2 points per week to catch him. Had I not played my WC this week the gap would currently be at 48 points, I would be having to get rid of Nasri tonight and I would be priced out of getting the team I wanted.

It's interesting to see Sturridge come into the fold again but I've seen nothing yet that beats the points gain I made and the cash I saved by doing the WC early. Time will tell I guess.

8-10

Down to 28k

Ozil, Sagna and Mert to go.

I'm sounding scarily like roryc

SantryRed

62 points with Kos and Ozil to play.

Mental though, I've dropped 70k places to 290k with that score! :-/

roryc

Welcome to the Dark Side.

zl1whqvjs75cdy

An arsenal cs and an ozil assist will net me 85. Please God. Don't think I can close the gap on my work rivals now after a woeful start but would still like a finish inside 100k. 7 weeks of green arrows in a row so would like to keep that up.

Lemlin

59 points, basically 60 as I have Ward to sub in for Mutch. Ozil and Mert to go.

Delighted that I've only dropped back 1k to 3.5k, particularly considering I've gone into the GW with Rooney and Mutch injured and Burner not playing. I'm down to the bare bones but wildcard is intact.

IsMiseMyself

Up to 25k. I'm delighted. My highest ranking so far. Kos and Ozil left to play so I expect my week to end with me still in the 20ks.

wonski

73 with Koscielny and Ozil left. If i choose Suarez as a captain that would be a perfect week. Still very good, and everyone (except the goalkeeper) got some extra points. Top of the friends league now, and closing on my rival from work. No transfers need to be made for next week - for the very first time this season i will have 2 free transfers available for next week:D

I see Ya ya went off injured today.

I will be holding off a few weeks in case he gets crocked again.

kronsington

85 with Kos to play.. Finally a very good points haul and hopefully the start of a major resurgence!
