Boyd coming off the bench leaves me with 82 for the gw. Hopefully see a few green arrows when everything's updated. Hazard coming off injured does worry me though for next week.

83 with him off the bench for me! Think you'll see a green arrow everywhere I guess the only way you might not is if you are in some h2hs.

think I've won all my h2hs and pretty sure I've gone up in every league I'm in. Needed a week like this after some poor scores recently.

78 for the gameweek very happy again.

Need to find a way to get Fab into the team. Costa almost certainly dropped! I'm thinking Tekkers!

Yeah fab/haz/defender seems to be the way to go.

Jesus man. Keep that up, give up your job so you can take up a joint vocation of winning this league and alerting me when people ask stupid questions

Chelsea CS, Terry goal (I knew he was due one and I haven't respected my FPL motto "if you don't act well, you have to react fast"), Costa no show and Hazard injured. This GW is turning into a mini-nightmare... I'll probably lose more ground I had gained from Austin than expected and will certainly have to take a hit now (maybe a double one...).

It is really a tough season. But I'll fight. The elements, fate or whatever you won't bring mr down :mad: :pac:...

Hazard was not badly injured, studs down the back of his ankle was all I could make out

Didn't see it. Read a few worrying comments in here... Hopefully you're right though .

FPL towers really need to upgrade their commodore 64s. Give me my updated rank dammit

theRB

110 points was good enough for 80th in the world this gameweek. Nice early Christmas present!

Mint Sauce

62 pts from 10 players sees me move up another 100k places. Oh what could have been if I had 11, and didn't sign Clichy.

Hopefully I can maintain this fight back over the xmas and newyear period.

Just a shame my points were just outside the top 100k average.

It's being reported on a few sites as Achilles damage but way to early to call it. Could well see him given a rest for the 26th though.

Cat, meet my friends the pigeons.

Nib

Updated.

After all that waiting, I rose from 2,068 to 2,043.

FHFC

My three strikers (incl captain points) 7-27 My three defenders.
My Chelsea players 24-33 The whole rest of my team.

And odd Gameweek to say the least. A very good Monday night though, for the third week running.

Finishing with 57 and no hits and will stay well inside the top 1,000 according to FFFix. Not bad for a disastrous week.

Edit: updated, OR 609. Oh holy night!!

You'll be in the top 150,000 at worst for the gw.

That's a very good one . . .

Closer to 75k-100k

Hence why I said "at worst" . .

58 was 68k overall (last night)

72 should be around that after this game.

A little higher, a little lower, but nowhere near 150k;)

Well, this is embarassing:o I owe you an apology:o

You were right, 162k gw rank. I was too optimistic.

78 points brought me up to 522 OR btw.

Well, if you didn't bench half of your squad you wouldn't be so nervous:D

Down 7.5k places to 24k. Meh. Hopefully can get back to green arrowsville for GW18

Nice. Was thinking you'd be high seeing as we started on the same points and I held onto 609 after a shît week.

Well done, back,on your tail hopefully!

Now this is what i call a result:eek:

This was my dream for a while. Nice place to be in, i guess. Al these clouds...:)

Mr.Prodston

54 (-4)

Dropped from 1.6k to 3.4k. I'll take my medicine and move on. I got used to bad weeks last year but they hurt a hell of a lot more now that I'm in such a great position. Always somewhat arrogantly thought I could convert my opportunities well when I got in position but bad choices everywhere I turned.

I'll be fighting for every point the next few weeks and all it takes is a good week to get right back up there. Forgot how bloody frustrating this game can be

Nib

Great stuff, Ziegler.

All the more impressive considering you have two GW ranks of over 2M.

spock.

Lost a few places today but still inside 9k OR. Rose 10k this week

Thanks and fair play on 16k! My best, by far, was 33k until now. This is just the second time I've ever hit triple figures.

Is 90 a new record on boards? I remember GillespieRoad doing really well last season, did he get to top 100?
I said it before, and others did, too that we - as a forum -have a really good run. Sky is the limit this year guys. Let's go for it.

Yeah, last year was my first year playing and posting here, and the rankings of many regular posters are crazy high. There must be what, 4 or 5 in the top 1,000 currently?

iroced

Down to 46k. A great GW (80 pts) which finishes very bitterly. Sunday and most importantly Monday results didn't suit me at all but did suit many players. Zab and/or Terry helped many to rescue a captain fail.

Dropped 12k tonight because of no Chelsea back cover and no Fab. Up 50k overall though so delighted with it .

But Siggy and Hazard potential injuries, Costa **** form and expected rotation and my slowness to get Terry in make me consider an 8 pts hit (Wilson -> Terry, Siggy -> ?, Costa -> Bony/Giroud?). To add insult to injury Sigurdsson's dropping tonight (can't believe how fast he's plummeting :eek: - people have no patience :mad:). Don't want to knee-jerk it though so will have to swallow the £0.1m loss .

More like 10:eek: Could be wrong. Plenty of top 5-10k posters. I hope that those who didn't make the top 10k (yet) won't get tired of reading our posts:o

Up 40 places in to OR! A green arrow is a green arrow!

basillarkin

My first red arrow since gw9. Down to 7k overall. Had 59 this week for no hits. Major blunder in capt bony who I thought was rotation proof.

Pluses bringing in benteke who has some nice fixture coming up and zabalata at the back who in all honestly could have scored a brace last sat. I still expect himbto be rested at least once during the Xmas period.

Coukdnt see tge game tonight with work but rumors of a hazard injury and another poor diaplay from costa. Roll on the madness of the next few gws.

Lemlin

72 sees me up to 7k. Slow and steady progress.

Some fantastic GW ranks and overall ranks on here this year. It's great to see.

Delighted to wake up and see I'm up into the 800's overall.

Green arrows all round except in one league. What might have been if I had captained Austin over Van Persie!
