    It's my Mané and Barnes + 2 vs Easy Rod's Coutinho. I really need a win to get me back on track for promotion.

    Second win in a row, up to 18th :)

    Slowly getting out of the relegation zone.

    Patience is a key.

    5th now.

    Got out of 2m club up to 200k club in a couple of months. Never give up.

    Here I come Premiership :)

    Narrow 2 pt win this week, still in 7th but very tight for the final couple of promotion spots, cant really afford any more dropped points though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 42,164 ✭✭✭✭Scorpion Sting


    A 17-point loss to Legwinski gives me my 6th defeat in 7 and any hopes I had of promotion look a distant memory.

    I'm 10 points behind third spot so will need to win 6 of my last 7 ties I'd say to have any chance. Never say never I suppose.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,962 ✭✭✭Hogey007


    I'll remain in 4th but beat 1st place this week, looks like 2nd and 3rd place teams have won. Very hard to get into that top 3, I'll still be a point off.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 42,164 ✭✭✭✭Scorpion Sting


    My match this gameweek was a foregone conclusion as I'm up against a zombie team in last place with more flags than a semaphore convention.

    Next gameweek looks like another foregone conclusion with another zombie team in second last but he's much better set up with almost a full squad of players and Kun captain.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,935 ✭✭✭AdpRo


    Another win for me as well, just about staying in the promotion race.

    Be careful. I am about to be hammered by a team that made no transfers since gw9 :(

    Shaw coming off his bench for Amat leaves me 10 points behind with my Sanchez against his Walcott and Benteke. Not looking good :(

    Yeah that's the guy I'm facing next haha. He has been doing pretty well recently and has beaten my score the previous 2 gameweeks so yeah I'll have to be wary of him alright!

    Got stung by last placed Real Social Dad in GW 16. I had a dismal 36 while he scored with Lloris 8; Otamendi 6; Rose 9 and Lallana 18 the heavy scorers finishing with 51. Up against him in GW 35. As for now had an exciting weekend, went into tonight's match on 73 -4 and playing a 50 with two subs of 13 to come in and Sanchez. Scraped through and climb 2 places to 6th.


  • Moderators, Regional East Moderators Posts: 23,228 Mod ✭✭✭✭GLaDOS


    Have consolidated 2nd for a good while now and am slowly sneaking up on first.

    Be disappointed to miss out on promotion at this stage, though things can change very quickly in these leagues.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,962 ✭✭✭Hogey007


    9 points down with ibra & sanchez vs their mc cauley and Costa. We both have alonso.

    I'd say 80/20 in their favour.

    So how's that working out for you!!! Looks like it will be a tight one.

    Another win for me to keep the pressue on the top 4.


  • Registered Users Posts: 410 ✭✭TaytoCrisps


    An important win this week looks like I will be lifted out of relegation. By far my worst ff season ever .

    Managed a draw in the end. I'm a bit annoyed with Ibra for getting foolishly booked and costing me the win effectively.

    I'm a long way back in 10th but hoping four wins from my last five can sneak me into the Promised Land.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 619 ✭✭✭Jeju


    I see the last placed ghost team won his tie, I'm due to play him the GW after next and his few players available have nice fixtures whereas I have a few tricky fixtures. The mood wouldn't be great if he was to do the double over me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,935 ✭✭✭AdpRo


    Good win v Hogey007 this week, 4th v 5th so was a big game to win, looks like the 3 ahead of me have won again unfortunately so not getting any closer to the promotion spots with time running out.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,787 ✭✭✭Benimar


    Promotion secured..now for the title:)

    Well done. I was looking at me with firmino left earlier thinking I had a chance until I copped Jaku sitting on your bench to come in. My draw last week and defeat this week ends my promotion hopes but good luck with yours.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 42,164 ✭✭✭✭Scorpion Sting


    Another loss ensures I spend another season in the Championship.


  • Moderators, Regional East Moderators Posts: 23,228 Mod ✭✭✭✭GLaDOS


    Still holding onto 2nd after stumbling a bit... Just need one more win to secure promotion

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test



  • Moderators, Regional East Moderators Posts: 23,228 Mod ✭✭✭✭GLaDOS


    And promotion secured :) Delighted to get back up at the first time of asking. Now to put pressure on first ;)

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,935 ✭✭✭AdpRo


    Well done, another win sees me stay in 4th, doesn't look like i will get promoted automatically as top 3 keep on winning!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 42,164 ✭✭✭✭Scorpion Sting


    Another loss for me this gameweek and firmly stuck in mid-table obscurity. Disappointed in finishing so poorly as I had a decent start.

    Just looking back on my results, I notice that since GW14 I've had 8 wins, 1 draw and 13 losses. That's relegation form.

    Would you mind dropping some points so I can secure promotion:D. I'm 3rd.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,935 ✭✭✭AdpRo


    I think your safe enough, you only need 1 more pt! Hopefully Scorpion King can do me a favour against you this week and bring it down to the last weekend!

    I might if you get my username right. ;):pac:


  • Registered Users Posts: 410 ✭✭TaytoCrisps


    Looks like I might just stay up. 6 points clear with 2 left... it's this what it's like to support a relegation battling team ??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,962 ✭✭✭Hogey007


    I probably won't be on boards much over summer as only really use it for fantasy football.
    Can someone just remind me what we do for this next season.
    Roughly what date does the sign up thread come out at?
    I confirm in that im taking part and give my team id? Is that right?

    CSF will pm everyone with the details he requires once the game relaunches usually mid July.

    Despite me getting his name wrong Scorpion Sting done me a huge favour this week, final promotion spot goes down to the last game. I need to win and hope itsnotmyfault gets beaten!

    Are you in fourth? There's a good chance you'll go up anyway due to attrition. I think it could depend on overall points between 18th in the Premier League and 4th in the Chanpionship though.

    Best of luck AdpRo and all the promotion hopefuls, ye have done the league proud!

    Yes I'm in 4th, I think 4th will still go up alright but it would be better to secure automatic promotion!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,962 ✭✭✭Hogey007


    I can only finish 5th or 6th now.

    Goes to show the luck of the draw in head to heads. Person in 11th has a far better score than 2nd and has better score than 3rd too.

    Well done to all promoted.

    That'd be me haha. I started off well but tailed off badly with just 9 wins and a draw since GW14.

    But you're overall score is still good. You've obviously just been unlucky with your opponents.
    I was similar last season. 2nd highest overall score in championship I think but finished 10th or 11th.

    Yeah 14k at the moment so if I can manage to sneak into the top 10k I won't really care where I finish as I would never have thought that was a possibility a month ago.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,935 ✭✭✭AdpRo


    Going to finish 4th here, should get promoted by default, itsnotmyfault lost but unfortunately so did I!

    Well done on promotion, hopefully play you in the premier league next season!

    well done! I was one behind you in 5th and see in the premier league thread that I might get promoted too.

    Told you it would be easy:eek:. 2 losses in a row and I scrape through. It's been a great battle and no doubt we'll do it all again in the premier.

    Not that I'm complaining in the slightest but how did I get promoted as I only finished 4th in League 1? Did someone drop out?

    Since 4th is promoted and I finished 5th should I not be first back up? Not really sure how this works to be honest :confused::P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,962 ✭✭✭Hogey007


    I finished 5th in the championship.
    Not sure how it works either, If sooner or later is retiring what determines whether the 3rd last team that got relegated stays over the 5th place team from championship?
    I genuinely don't know, so if someone could clear it up it'd be great.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,935 ✭✭✭AdpRo


    Highest overall points i think.

    Cheers, I didn't have the greatest of seasons so could be touch and go.
    Sure we'll see when one of the organisers compares my score with the person from prem.
