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

hjkl

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

8-10

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

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.

Menas

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?

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

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.

Indeed I do. Now edited.

RedPeppers

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

Lemlin

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

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

BNMC

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

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

HighClass

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

GLaDOS

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

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.

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.

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.

Dempsey

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

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.

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.

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.

AdMMM

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!

Rikand

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

happy days

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
