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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
Hazard and Costa tomorrow so hopefully can hold the top 1000 for christmas.

No top thousand for Christmas for me .
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!!

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?

New Target Acquired!

Benimar, jebforever and Seklly in as well.

And a few of ye aren't in the boards.ie and boards.ie fsa league either, which is good

SlickRic

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.

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?

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

Cypher_sounds

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.
