    After my well documented 4 weeks of sliding 2-300 places each week, I finally got a really good week and jumped from 1.7k to 522nd in the overall rankings!

    Am I right in saying there's 5 of us in the top 1000 atm? Ziegler, Me, Paully, FHFC and wonski? Is there more?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 974 ✭✭✭internet_user


    94 sees me jump from 109k to 33k! Probably my best ever week:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,250 ✭✭✭G1032


    58
    Down to 18,000
    Taking a couple of days out (unless Hazard confirmed injured)

    Time to chime in and say I've been one of the lurkers on here this season. I'd contribute more if I could put coherent thoughts together.

    Anyway a sexy 69points puts me in to the top 15k which for me is my most consistent run I can remember. It'd have been a lot of red arrows if I hadn't listened to the captain Austin brigade.

    I really have to stop taking hits. :( I take a -4 most weeks I'd say :/

    Fair play gents. Great to see so many so high and doing well.

    That said, and I don't like putting a dampener on things, the challenge now is to stay there. It's early days yet and it's tough to keep momentum going when you're already that high.

    67 pts brings me up another 300 places to 2k. Considering I captained eriksen Im very happy with that score. Really dissapointed I sold Fab when he was suspended said at the time it was a bad kneejerk move by myself. I had the fab haz terry combo which is the ideal chelsea 3 IMO.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 15,255 Mod ✭✭✭✭FutureGuy


    Up to 7k with that 78. Making solid progress each week.

    Lokking for lots of rotation over the next week or so.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,472 ✭✭✭AdMMM


    Down 4k to 48k after a decidedly average 57.

    From watching the game last night, it seems as if Hazard's injury is a cut to the leg at worse - I'd be confident of him being able to start the next games. Costa also could have had two goals if Begovic didn't do very well to close the angles. I'm sure he'll be getting a few goals over Christmas too.

    56 (-8)

    Really bad week as I have lost huge ground on my rivals :(

    OR 900 dropped to 2.3k

    4 players on the injury list. Christmas please be kind to me :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,400 ✭✭✭TacT


    dropped from 22.9 to 36.5 OR after a meagre 56 with my 3rd poor armband of the season.

    Thought Costa was pretty poor in terms of what counts in FPL. Bego is a decent keeper and would be expected to close angles like that but Costa should have scored at least one of his chances.

    However, Costa is doing a great job of letting the attacking mids have more space and the likes of Hazard, Fabregas and Oscar have been doing great as a result.

    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.

    I got up to 18th 2 seasons ago before finishing in 25th. I dont think I'll be matching that anytime soon although I'm up to 43k now after another good week with 79 points.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,790 ✭✭✭Benimar


    Finished on 85 points thanks to Charlie (c), Downing, Fab and Zabaleta.

    OR 214. Needless to say my highest ever Position.

    Baines and Costa are becoming problems though. 18m+ for 3 points has me thinking of ditching both and eventually getting Hazard, the one player I don't have that worries me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 387 ✭✭El festino


    Finished on 79 (-4). A bit of what ifs as I captained Eriksen and had Austin vice captain but delighted with that score.
    Have jumped from 378k to 33k since gameweek 12 so on a good run.

    He's doing exactly what Drogba used to do for the likes of Robben and Lampard. That is why they used to score alot of goals and Drogba relatively few in his first seasons at Chelsea.

    Drogba didn't hit twenty goals in a season until his third. His first two seasons were 10 and 12.

    A score of 69 sees me maintain my top 1k position. I move up over 100 places to 858th place. A lack of Chelsea and City defensive coverage for the last 5 or 6 gameweeks has been the only downside to what's been a great season so far.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 774 ✭✭✭seklly


    70 points brings me up a few places to 154th in the world, my last minute decision to move the captaincy from Austin to Yaya did a little damage!

    Thanks to Pantillimon, I am up to 730 tonight. Delighted :D
    Hazard and Costa tomorrow so hopefully can hold the top 1000 for christmas.

    No top thousand for Christmas for me :o.
    Lack of a Chelsea defender cost me, down to 1109, but still a 2k rise for the gameweek. New target is to be in the top thousand for the new year!!

    just inside the top 30k.

    decent position to be in going into Christmas.

    this period, as well as navigation of the January wildcard and new transfers, is when the field will really start to get stretched.

    business time is now.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,195 ✭✭✭irish son


    70(-4) brings me up 10k from 45k to 35k, solid score for the week. Hoping to push on and be in the top 10k after the next 3 rounds after the New Years Day matches.

    Didn't know about an FSA league. I am 6th in the boards.ie league. I assume that's you 1 place behind on the same points?

    After a few weeks in the Top 1,000, I had a bad week and have dropped to 2.2k OR. I will be back tho :)

    Very interesting. Starting to consider whether to keep him part of my long term plans. Even though he didn't score, at least he got into the positions. He could have easily scored two but for poor finishing. Alot to consider.

    98(-8) this week good enough to bring me just inside the top 31k up from 90K last week, absolutely delighted :)

    Ended with 67pts which brings me from 36k to around 27k, hoping i can continue back up into the smaller numbers over the next few gameweeks. Not having Austin has hurt me, might bringing in for gw19.
