    59 all in. Average, no doubt. Not exactly chuffed but there's always next week.

    My big regret is selling Adebayor. I'm fairly certain I'll only end up buying him back.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,588 ✭✭✭daithijjj


    More than happy with that result today despite not having Mata or RVP. United are brutal. You'll pick up some points with them but far better value around imo.

    54 after playing 2nd Wildcard

    DISASTER


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,697 ✭✭✭Danger781


    64 points - Not terrible :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,997 ✭✭✭✭mailburner


    44
    absolute puke


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,675 ✭✭✭HighClass


    67 after bps. Happy with that considering I only had 9 players.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,967 ✭✭✭P.Walnuts


    Wait, how on earth is mata getting BP's again??

    1 assist! Jesus wept, Mata owners getting very lucky


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,231 ✭✭✭BNMC


    65 with 6 to sub in (Demel) brings me to 71.

    Delighted.


  • Moderators, Regional East Moderators Posts: 23,239 Mod ✭✭✭✭GLaDOS


    76 points, very happy considering I captained Mata and got 0 from Kos and Giroud

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

    81 points for the week. One of my shrewdest decisions of the season to captain Hazard paid off and I'm starting to climb the rankings bit by bit. Will have to think about the coming weeks ahead and what is the best strategy regarding transfers.

    You'll shoot up with that score!

    70 i ended on.... if only id captained hazard :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 469 ✭✭hjkl


    58 for the week. Fairly poor considering 21 of that came from Hazard.

    Similar, 61 (-4) but disappointed in my non-Hazard players.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,022 ✭✭✭✭Iused2likebusts


    70 pts this week. Glad I resisted the rvp transfer have 2 transfers and may use them this week for 2 defenders. Very happy with my front 7 and barring injury I dont plan on changing them till gw 28.

    66 with no Hazard and no points hits. Not too bad really.

    What's your front 7?

    Mine is:

    Mata Yaya Hazard Lallana
    Suarez Sturridge (ninja edit) Ade

    Plan was to not have to change them but Yaya may have ended that,

    Don't you mean Sturridge?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,229 ✭✭✭G1032


    68(-4)

    Would have been 75 and 2 free transfers next week if I'd ignored RVP. Another hit that didn't work out. #neverlearn


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


    63 with no hits. After a defensive disaster with only 1 CS and Brown doing his thing I'm happy enough with that. Pure genius captaining RVP over Suarez. :D

    Indeed I do. Now edited.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 606 ✭✭✭RedPeppers


    Ended up with 62pts, sitting on 25,800 up 4k could have been so much better with Hazard captain.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,256 ✭✭✭✭Lemlin


    Up to rank 1071. Just outside the top 1k.

    If that bastard John Terry had played I'd be in the Promised Land.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,231 ✭✭✭BNMC


    Up 46k to 116k with my 71. Happy days.

    Good stuff Lemlin, you're flying. What's your best and worst finish?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,675 ✭✭✭HighClass


    Jumped to 108k from 143k. Finally getting back on track.


  • Moderators, Regional East Moderators Posts: 23,239 Mod ✭✭✭✭GLaDOS


    Up to 60k now, delighted considering I was at 1.4m after gameweek 5.

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



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,268 ✭✭✭IsMiseMyself


    I've fallen 114 places from where I was last week. Could be much worse. Looking to bounce back and FINALLLY get into the top 10k in GW 26.


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


    Woohoo. Green arrows. Didn't dare hope, up about 1, 000 to 6,225 with 6th green out of 8 on way up from just outside 100k.

    Had a bad feeling about this week so more than happy and sticking with RVP plan for now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,716 ✭✭✭✭Earthhorse


    That lad what refused to play his 3 Liverpool players went from 2,244 to 7,675. Silly.

    As for me, having had a miserable season, reaching a low of 2,082,488 in Gameweek 11, I've finally made it inside the top million, sitting at 917,739. I'll be happy to finish inside the top 500,000 but have no idea how achievable that is.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,553 ✭✭✭✭Dempsey


    Broke into the top 75k today, first time this season. Happy with that!

    Good stuff Lemlin, you're flying. What's your best and worst finish?

    My stats:

    2006/07 1829 87594
    2007/08 2139 31362
    2008/09 1841 187395
    2009/10 2138 147012
    2010/11 2100 12638
    2011/12 2293 324
    2012/13 2225 7856

    I blame the missus for the 08 and 09 fall offs, I met her then!

    I'd love if they had the stats for 05/06 because I did well that year. Won the Boards League.

    Last three years have all been in the top 13k. I don't know what to make of this year tbh. I'm generally a late bloomer and have never been this high, this early.

    That said, winning my private leagues is what matters to me, overall ranking is just a bonus. For example, I'm not that sure about keeping Yaya but as my opponents in private leagues have him and need to catch me, I'm happy to keep him as a blocker.

    If I was striving for global ranking, I'd be taking him out.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,268 ✭✭✭IsMiseMyself


    Jesus, Lemlin, you're an old hat at fantasy football! I played very casually last year, but got a taste for it with the last month or two, and decided to take it seriously this year.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,262 ✭✭✭iroced


    No transfer this week. Debated on Benteke in for Ade but decided to keep 2 FT for GW27 (when we'll know what kind of chaos we'll face during GW29).

    My patience and confidence to my team paid off this week which is great after last week mixed feelings (=> http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=88921358&postcount=853).

    71 pts. Suarez (C). Just outside top 1k :eek:!
    Hazard 21 pts would have been great as (C) but even though I did consider it I still had Mata (VC). So can't be disappointed. It was a gamble (considering its captaincy %) and in my position I didn't and still don't feel like taking gambles yet.

    It has been a great little earner for me for years now through various private leagues.

    70 points this week.

    Really happy with my form over the past 14 weeks. Arguably should have kept a better eye on how my players were rising (or falling as was the case) over the wildcard weeks which kinda screwed me for when I eventually played it!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,585 ✭✭✭✭Rikand


    69 for the week and moved up a full 57k places :D

    happy days


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,890 ✭✭✭Mr. Guappa


    Holy crap.. I'm up to 90th overall!!

    Scored 80 this week, with captain Mata and Adebayor scoring nicely today.

    Could do with Yaya escaping a ban, only brought him in this week and had planned on banking next weeks transfer. Gabbidon being dropped is also fairly unhelpful.

    That's serious going. Fair play. What's your team?

    Cheers. Nothing spectacular about my team, I've just managed to get lucky bringing in players at the right time. Latest example is Olsson of Norwich who I brought in with the January wildcard and has gone 7, 5, 6 since.

    Team is:

    Adrian - Speroni

    Azpilicueta - Sagna - Evans - M.Olsson - Gabbidon

    Hazard - Yaya - Lallana - Mata - B.Johnson

    Adebayor - Suarez - Sturridge

    The exact same bar silva over yaya.

    Some score for roryc this week 91 pts


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,268 ✭✭✭IsMiseMyself


    91. God. I wish I had 91. That's a serious score for this week alright!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,685 ✭✭✭✭wonski


    61 points, can't complain. Van Persie outscored Suarez, as expected:D
    I will never ever put it again on United player, too much stress.
    My main rival in work league scored 25 this week, and now i am only 2 points behind him. Should fly through after next week.
    Still far behind most of you - up to 475k...
    Surprised that my score was rank 599k:eek: 13 points over an average is usually placed a little higher than this.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,094 ✭✭✭SpaceCowb0y


    60 (-4) for the week

    All green arrows for the last 4 weeks but have still only managed to jump from 315K to 240K this is desperate! Making barely any progress :( I see lads here jumping from 300K+ into the top 100/50K in around the same time!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,141 ✭✭✭Santi101


    Steady ascent continues - up to 55k after this round.

    Thinking of banking the transfer in midweek.

    Very similar story here!
    Jumped 38k places this week and I think that's been my biggest jump despite 5 greens out of 7. The red weeks were tiny drops.

    Have went from 400k to 224k over that period but just can't seem to get that biggie. Thought today was going to be the one with Mata, Ade and RVP (c). A goal feast would have seen me make that jump.

    Will keep plugging away with my slow and steady gains (from my team of differentials... No Suarez, Hazard or Yaya... High risk with slow steady returns... Just not fair :) )


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,224 ✭✭✭✭SantryRed


    76 points with Suarez as captain.

    Have gone from 280k-268k-185k-118k in the past three game weeks.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,231 ✭✭✭BNMC


    I miss roryc.

    That's nearly 200K in the same amount of time! I haven't even manages to make it 100K yet! I'd be pushing for the top 100K if i'd been on your run ha!

    75 this week leaves me just inside the top 30k ...... delighted with that considering I had both Sagna and Giroud. Captaining Hazard turned out well, especially since I was torn between him and Lallana :eek:
