    Have dropped 65k places so far from 60k to 125k and still another game to go.

    Depression


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,958 ✭✭✭Mr. Guappa


    71 (-4) with everyone played. A rise of 54k to 200k as it stands, would be happy with 220k after tomorrow night, an uneventful 1-1 would be just the job there.

    Captain Kane turned a poor week into a solid/decent effort. The hit was for him too so that worked nicely.

    Another hit on the cards next week with Pellé up for the chop, and Coutinho and Ozil looking tempting for MID spots.

    Bolasie is a huge differential in my main money league. A goal would be beautiful.

    Lots of Palace defenders, so a Sunderland goal wouldn't go amiss.

    Despite a disaster of a season so far really, I'm only 70 odd points adrift somehow.

    Some weird teams still ahead of me. One with double Everton defence and Charlie Adam with Mahrez benched this week.

    Eriksen today had given me a 8k rise to 49k
    No one left so could do with a Sunderland goal tomorrow

    Wasnt feeling that great about my OR bouncing back to 280k till u realised its a green arrow so far of 100k as i started the week at 379k.

    Souaré to play. Anything from him be a bonus.

    Onwards and hopefully upwards. Top 100k by Christmas and maybe salvage this damn season yet...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 48,457 ✭✭✭✭km79


    started around 130k
    dropped to 315 k last night
    kane has pulled me back to 170k
    I'll take it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,681 ✭✭✭✭SlickRic


    up to 20k and 2nd in the boards pay league.

    20k is second?

    Says it all about the season!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,886 ✭✭✭stephenl15


    Kane has destroyed my week. From 39k to 29k yesterday back to 41k now. Fuming.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,056 ✭✭✭Sooner or Later


    Kane (c) rescues an otherwise disastrous week.

    Now up to 57(-4) with Souare to go

    Exactly . First is 15k on 737 im on 732 and thats 20k.The Boards league and FSA Prem are where Im looking at to judge my start and based on that Im delighted with it. There are some crazy teams leading other pay leagues Im in not in the slightest bit worried about them. Kane captain today moved me from 50k to 20k. Things are very tight. I know a lot are frustrated but people need to calm down a big gw can turn things on its head at this stage of the season. Even today people can see what Kane capt can do to your rankings.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,256 ✭✭✭✭Lemlin


    I'm at 57k with Souare to go. 65 points this GW so far. My three attackers and Mahrez did the business.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,081 ✭✭✭GetWithIt


    66 points and a small green arrow into the top 6k stops the rot. A poor captaincy choice and points left on the bench shows there are still issues in the management team but a better week.

    So at 647 pts all isn't so bloody bad really. Quite a bit back but not as gloomy as I was convincing myself but if Kane hadn't delivered today then its a whole other story.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 113 ✭✭First Explorer


    Finished up on 99 points this week, i've already broke the 100 this season but that means my two best game weeks gathered a third of my points what the hell was i doing for the other 11 weeks? hopefully i've turned a corner now


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,307 ✭✭✭DarraghF197


    Down from 45k to 271k in two GW's. Bad, very bad! 42 (-4) points with Souare to play.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 48,457 ✭✭✭✭km79


    just seem most
    BUIB had a STONEWALL penalty turned down near the end
    not sure how the ref didn't give it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,029 ✭✭✭✭Ace2007


    I see the current overall number 1, had vardy and coleman on the bench and got 92. :eek:

    Talk about running well.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,467 ✭✭✭OneColdHand


    Into the top 10k! :)





    Of Villa fans. :o

    Yet another example of how weird the season has been!

    I've fallen back to 110k after today....thanks Harry Kane. At least I'm stil top of most of my important private leagues!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,262 ✭✭✭iroced


    54 thanks to Kane the rescuer. Hennessey to play.

    Down to 116k. 4th red arrow in a row.


    The thing with this game is it is all relative to your own team situation/context/history. If I look at the bright side, I'm still not that badly ranked. Though 4th week in a row I'm saying that :pac: :rolleyes:... On the dark side, I feel I missed the... let's say top 5k train. Was 40k 4 GWs ago and had I made half the right calls from all the wrong ones I did I'd probably not be too far from there. It's terrible to say but I think I'd have been better keeping Agüero on my bench all this time :rolleyes: :pac:...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,672 ✭✭✭ElTel


    62 with Hennessey and 1 bench point to come. Third red arrow in 4 GWs
    Don't think a Palace clean sheet will be enough to keep me in the top 1k for a sixth straight GW.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,462 ✭✭✭✭2nd Row Donkey


    Went from 36 to 72 points with not hits today thanks to Kane and a serious bit of luck with Alderweireld coming off the bench for Darmian.

    Have already sold Darmian and Pelle for Nyom and Augero to use my 2 FTs.

    Lots of green arrows but still in the 1m+ club in the OR.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,990 ✭✭✭Potential Underachiever


    Went from 45 points to 80 points thanks to Kane and Toby, turned a poor week into a good one.

    Started at ~10k now up to ~4k I expect I'll drop some tomorrow as I've nobody playing but should still be a green arrow when the dust settles.

    Still a very impressive position at this stage, especially considering the majority around you have probably used all their chips

    It's far too early to be panicking. I've seen multiple posts this weekend of others doing the same so I don't wish to just pick on you iroced.

    We're only 13 GWs in. A third of the way. It is Christmas that will make or break most teams when the games come thick and fast.

    You're still in a great position to easily finish in the top 5k. My friend is on 736 points and he's at 15k. I'm on 710, only 26 points behind, and I'm at 57k.

    So a mere 26 points equals 42k places - it's unbelievably tight at the top.

    668 has me in 281k OR.

    So only 42 behind 57k.

    I'm not panicking but more somewhat disheartened. I'm not doing anything majorly wrong as far as i can see, and I think I'm having relatively rotten luck. All season of various 50/50 calls I've tended to end up with the option that blanked most of the time.

    Need to keep plugging away and claw back up the rankings. Any high standard money leagues are gone, but still a few I've a chance in.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,224 ✭✭✭✭SantryRed


    It's actually incredibly tight at the minute.

    I started the week around 130k. After Saturday, I was down to 210k. All I had yday was Kane as captain, so 26 points, and I shot up to just above the 100k mark again. Considering all the other players who would have had Kane too, it goes to show what type of season it has been so far and just how tight it is.

    Also, in some of my leagues with friends and whatever, people are still close to me even though I lead. But when I look at their team values, and see that most of them are around 99-100m and mine is 104m, I know they're gonna have to decimate their team to get in Aguero. I'm very confident that there's a lot of these type of players in the top 100k now, and that when Christmas comes around, the usual suspects will start to make their rise towards the top 10k.

    Vardy's not gonna keep this up now. I think he may score against United but their fixtures after that aren't great. I'm already setting myself up for a Aguero, Kane and Lukaku partnership. Something many players will not be able to do!

    This is what I'm banking on.

    Even though I'm around 500k, it is still tight, and my team value destroys others as I've kept quite vigilant.

    Aguero, Kane, Lukaku and Sanchez should hopefully see me climb back as not many in my private leagues will be able to field all 4.
