Mini leagues and overall rank more of a priority than a cup competition for me.

A grand is a lot of money. I've a lot of big h2hs this week so I've also bench boosted.

As expected his BB is active.

A grand is alot to play for and a risk worth taking imo.

I can't talk. I made 5 transfers in anticipation of my 2nd leg this week. But they were profitable transfers even last week (hoping the profit continues) so it wasn't exactly sabotaging my team for this either.

Hoping you can win this week, as if I do make it through my tie, that's a stress that I wouldn't want to be dealing with in the next round.

Have a 2pt lead over you going into 2nd leg day of Harps Europa league, but not overly confident. Think you definitely have the advantage on paper, nervous of the likes of Vardy and Carroll, both could do well this week

... just after spotting you used bench boost. I'll need a miracle ; )

34 points behind after tonight.

I have Sanchez x2, aguero, origi, JWP, siggy and Adam Smith (lol) V his coutinho, Redmond, son, king, Bertrand, bavies and mig.

Goosed.

I'll be honest with you FHFC, you weren't a preferred choice to get in the quarter finals of the Europa.

Sure it'd make no odds, my hand has been dealt barring bad team news from here on out. Clash of the FSA Premier League titans.

Shennanigans in my Harps Champions League Quarter Final. My opponent took a 24 point hit the week before our first leg and took a 40 point hit last GW - the week before our second leg.

Same guy banked, in what has to go down as an unexpected move. Draw hasn't been made yet, the lack of an email being the only reason I can think of why he hasn't gotten at the team.

Son of a gun. Tie over already.

King autosub the final indignity.

I definitely wouldn't go as far as tie over. I've taken a nice lead and I'd like to think I have a nice team next week to defend that lead. But you just gotta look at Son's score today to see how quickly my lead could be eaten into with the right differentials.

Harps CL semi final draw out. Managed to avoid the all-Boards clash of myself and AidySevenfold. He got the lad who has been making all the transfers on the offweeks. I got the other lad.

Between that and my 2nd leg in the EL against FHFC, GW33 looks like one that will make a huge difference in my season.

Based on our various discussions, assuming we're not feeding each other red herrings, I'd be best buying an Captaining Kane. But that's not what I want to do. Probably.

It would be ultimate FSA treachery. Possibly worthy of a ban!

United game was disastrous for me in my Harps CL Semi Final first leg. After last night I was 6 ahead with Alonso and Sanchez vs Rashford and Valencia. With only one point from Robertson to come off the bench for Alonso, I am needing Sanchez to refind his form/position tomorrow night.

Congrats in the Europa. Was all over last week thanks to Son.

Thanks, to be honest when we lined up with 9 of the same players and the same captain, it didn't look too promising for the big swing.

Don't think it looks too promising for me in any case with 2 of the other 3 likely semi-finalists having wildcards itching to go for GW36.

I'm against yourself in the semis, I can't seem to avoid drawing boardsies in this. With you having chips galore and a ranking that high, I'm probably figuring that this is my less likely chance of making a final out of my 2 approaching semi finals in the Harps cups.

In truth I'm also fearful!When I looked at the 3 possible opponents' teams the other day my gut feeling was that you'd be the least favourable draw!!Best of luck in the other semi CSF.;)

I didn't ask them personally, though the league does seem to be somewhat popular. There are 190 people in total - I am going to sent them an email now.

I'm currently top of Man City's E-Sports representative Kez Brown's league, but he has since taken the video with the league code down. He better cough up, the fifteen league spots are priceless and I would have liked to enter the FFS cup.

The other Cup isn't til next week unfortunately but yeah great day. I've Alonso and Hazard to play Tuesday and then I think we've the same amount of players Wednesday and Thursday so I think the Chelsea game will probably be a big one.

That Alli to Tadic, Costa enabler transfer has effectively ended me. Out of the Harps CL by 3 points and clinging onto my EL place by a thread.

Cheers, you need 4 points from Coutinho right? 3 would see me win on a tiebreaker if BPs stay the same and I've counted correctly.

We have visitors resulting in me not doing a count!!Looks like I'll need Coutinho to do something other than being booked!Kane booking was very costly.:(

Not a nice way to win it, I know all too well after yesterday how tough ridiculously narrow defeats can be. Hope you keep on the up for the season and can get well inside that top 5k.

I'm against a guy who wildcarded last week, has 3 of both Arsenal and Southampton (blessing or curse?) and will almost certainly bench boost this week. I'm an underdog, no getting away from that. I'd have swapped which final to be in very happily.
