    Well what do ye think, whats the most u can hope to make up between now and the end or at what point are you safe?

    I'm 51 clear in one league and consider it in the bag
    In another I'm 29 behind and I'm eyeing it up, especially considering that some of the identikit players are gone (Hazard, Yaya)

    Just for fun I've had a look at your team, you're in pretty good shape to hold onto a lead I'd say. You could be on a winner with Januzaj, I wouldn't be overly excited by your defence, Coleman and Ward have probably their best weeks behind them.

    I've been doing very well recently and would have gained 38 points on you in the past three weeks. I probably could easily have gotten 51 off you if I made some different bench decisions. I'd say 51 isn't unassailable but it'd be unlikely obviously.

    I think someone can make up 51 pts in 3 weeks your rival has 2 good weeks and he will be right behind you . Last few weeks of the season can throw up strange results and the last day of the season can have high scoring games particularly when the pressure is off certain teams. I was 50 pts behind my rival last week down to 22 this week. I wouldnt count your chickens just yet.

    I've overtaken a 98 point lead within 3 weeks in the past, but I've also blown a 110 point lead due to stupidity with the January wildcard. The DGW will be the makings or breakings of you.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,228 ✭✭✭POKERKING


    im 39 points behind my rival, had been 70- got it back to 28 and last week i dropped another 11(dam sterling).

    Im going into gamble mode, captaining cazorla this week, i need something special, chances are im going to lose ground but i need to do something.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,255 ✭✭✭✭Lemlin


    My rival was 34 behind me two weeks ago. He's now just ten.

    I've a 64 point lead now in my other competitive league so I view it as won.

    In 4 money leagues, Between 4 and 43 points off top , I am in the money spots in 3/4 leagues. have 8dgw players, the guys ahead have 2-5 so hoping ill make a strong push to win 2 and finish in the prize money in all 4 .


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,956 ✭✭✭✭CSF


    96 points clear in the work league, that looks good. Had 2 individual head to head money leagues with friends which I've already won so that's off my mind.

    I've a head to head 12 man league I'm in too which I would win with a win this weekend (it's first vs second), I'm also in a league on the Aston Villa superthread for a 50 euro voucher for the club shop and I'm only 5 points ahead in that having come from way back so that's the one I've to work to nail down.

    I'm 17th in the 80 man FSA qualifier league, 11 points ahead of 21st so that's another one to drag over the line.

    If I don't lose out in any of those leagues it'll be a 100% year and maximum profitability in a year where I'm currently 11k places lower overall than last year.

    I'm 80-something points ahead in my private league. Preeetty sure I have it wrapped up short of a catastrophe. That said, a lot can change in a few weeks!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,747 ✭✭✭Ziegler1988


    45 points down after Captain Rambo fail, I'm throwing in the towel

    All of these have gone well this week. I'm a very happy man.

    down to 33 despite captaining cazorla, i think we have 6 unique players after this weeks transfers, i dont think i can catch him in the next two gameweeks, cazorla or podolski gettin a big score last night would of done it now im just hoping for a miracle.

    Yaya is my differential this week so sticking armband on him!


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


    Had stayed away from third thread as wasn't daring to hope I'd pull back third spot in my league having been over 50 behind. Now am within 12 points and otsbbetween three of us.

    I have Suarez, De Gea, Brown, Zab, Yaya, Mata, Rooney and Aguero (c) left this week.

    12 behind a guy with Suarez, Sterling, Dzeko, Aguero and Mata (c)

    7 behind a guy with Suarez, Ward, Davies, Jones, Mata, Yaya, Amalfitana, Dzeko and Aguero (c)

    What do yis reckon my chances are of catching either this GW?

    despite having a shocker(40-8), my opponent has an abs mare, gap is 22 and i have nasri, johnson, yaya and mannone against his hart left this week.

    He also will need 3 transfers to get 11 on the pitch on the final week, if i win this it will be my personal greatest ever ff achievement!

    This sounds like my week, except I'm the one being caught at an alarming rate due to what a cluster**** this week has been.

    I had thought when Aguero and Rooney were confirmed out that my chance was gone, especially if Dzeko did anything against Villa.

    Yet I'm now 1 point ahead of the first guy above and 2 behind the second.

    3 points separating us going into the last Gameweek. I'm definately gonna be posting here before the weekend for advice on how to potentially close this out lads!

    66 points behind after the disaster of double GW 34
    Still 44 heading into this game week
    Have cut it to 13 points now .......would have been 7 but for late captain switch from aguero to mata
    He took a SIXTEEN point hit which helped cut the deficit before the games even started.
    He has made 77 transfers so expect a minimum of a 4 point hit this week from him
    I have a few worries my deep but hope the max I will go is 4 points and hopefully none at all if aguero is fit. Going to sell Rooney . Will have to keep mata and hope also Ramsey plays

    The gap would've been 10 pts if you stuck with aguero (c)
    Aguero c 10 + mata 2 = 12
    aguero 5 + mata 4 =9
    That's a huge pts swing in 2 weeks much the same as whats happened to me. The right captain and a good transfer should do it for you.

    Thanks I don't feel as bad now! I was doing so many calculations last night I got confused :-D
    Just checked he has already made 2 transfers!!!!!

    Miraculously its dead level going into the last game, although he doesnt need as many transfers as i thought and has a better team than me,would give anything to win it though.

    This weeks subs going to be crucial, will have to get suarez in after dumping him a while ago!

    How exactly? It would've been 10.
    Mata (c) + Aguero = 9
    Aguero (c) + Mata = 12

    Yeah got that wrong.
    Its down to 5 now ......


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 48,336 ✭✭✭✭km79


    He sold aguero Jones and mutch for dzeko Gerrard and skertel
    This could prove decisive now as I have aguero but don't have Gerrard!
    He also has rvp to my sturridge, lallana to my mata and perhaps biggest of all nasri to my YAYA!!!!
    Its good we have so many differences. Keeps it interesting.
    His goalie is speroni mine boruc


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 48,336 ✭✭✭✭km79


    Currently level BUT we both had 2 players starting who did not play.
    He had speroni out de gea in with 3 points , Cahill out Shaw in 1 point
    I had Cahill Alonso out.......unfortunately Demel was ducking sick which went unreported and Chester is injured.
    Lose by 4
    Absolutely sickened to be honest

    Very very pleased to have completed my turnaround and beat these guys to third spot by 8 & 21 points.

    Mata is the man.
