FSA Premier League thread 2016/17

Another win. That brings me to 5 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses.

54 52 defeat against sooner or later

CSF

This is the furthest into the season I've ever been top of the league. Already getting nosebleeds from the lofty heights.

iroced

Wow :eek:! Up to 4th. Overtook 5 positions. Did not expect that. It's very tight though.

Need 10 wins out of the remaining 27 GWs to be safe. Said like that it doesn't sound too complicated. Just a little more than 1 out of 3...

KevIRL

Ahead of the league leader by 8 points I think with his Evans versus my heaton.

iroced

A narrow 2 pts win thanks to Pulis double CS and thunderdog taking a 12 pts hit.

Feels weird to climb on the FSA PL podium after such a crap GW :rolleyes:...

More a reflection of my terrible season so far I think

This wooden spoon is getting bigger by the week

KevIRL

Finally hit top spot I believe. With this league being so close still focusing on that 50 point mark though. 26 to go..

At least your 12 pts hit worked out OK. Think you broke even and have a better team.

Massive 6-pointer game between us this weekend....

iroced

My Sanchez vs greensausage Koscielny + DDG.

Could go either way.

KevIRL

Lucky to be still in the game v Sporting Hee-Haw

3 points down and my Holebas/Pieters/Sanchez v Jaanmat. Would normally feel confident looking at that, but the way this GW is going, who knows.

Thank you Alexis :cool:.

I do have a request for you though... Please tell Wenger to play Giroud more often from now on such as FPL still sees you as a mid next year. You as a forward will be real bad for the game.

KevIRL

Phew glad to get a win with 49 points this week.

Another defeat and down to 17th only staying out of the dropzone on goal difference. Not a great defence of the title so far.

Hello Leicester!

Ugh, lost by 1 point. Needed a win

KevIRL

My game v Lemlin coming down to Boro keeping a clean sheet or not v Hull. Am 2 ahead with my Adam Smith v his Gibson.

Swiper the fox

Free fall continues with an Alexis captainer in the other corner.

Yep, all but certain to be decided by a Hull goal (or not). 3 ahead but Lemlin has Gibson tomorrow night.

another defeat in the bottom 3 now:mad:

CSF

Need a big day today to turn this week around (I've only had 4 play so 7 including captain still to go) to win this week and potentially may need to if I'm to hang onto top spot.

Kevirl leads me by 1 pt its my Pedro against his costa

CSF

Lovren going off makes my match a draw by my count. Nice steal on my part and keeps me top regardless of results elsewhere. Having one draw in your tally is a much bigger benefit in a league like this where the opponents are more likely to have bigger point scores than in other leagues, so I'm pleased with that.

thunderdog

Finally a win. 7 losses out of 8 in my previous 8 matches. Only 4th win this season. Ha Im still last though, need a decent run over xmas!

iroced

A narrow win that brings me back into the CL play-off spot.

Most importantly 7 wins away from safety!

Lemlin

Now sitting in fifth only four points off the top. The Commandos have put together a nice run in this League.

Iused2likebusts

Finally a win after 6 defeats on the bounce.

iroced

Think FHFC beat me thanks to Brunt BPs...

Yay. Just seen this.

Or thanks to Capoue third sub!!

Catching some breaks in h2h and cups despite bad weeks.

CSF

Eriksen the difference for me, continuing to scrape towards the short term objective of being top at Christmas!!!

thunderdog

Another win, that's two in a row now. My best run yet...still last though

CSF

Did I mention that I'm top for Christmas

Lemlin

I see that I'm fifth and managed a recent win over Busts. I'll take that!

Iused2likebusts

Up against dahat this week . He took a 52 pt hit.

Oh no.

He took it because he's in a league which has a winner on Stephen's Day and then resets until the end I think so point hits don't count this gameweek.

For reasons stated by Scorpion Sting, my OR is fuked this year so all went into this particular league from here on.

You got a lucky break, enjoy!

A point ahead of Swiper with my Kane and Lallana V his walker, firmino and Pieters. Finely balanced

You'll almost certainly go top even with a draw. I'll lose this week for sure.

50 50 I'd say, clean sheet points are unlikely, I need this more than you in truth. I've been trying to win this since the beginning, come close enough each time as well.

KevIRL

Think that's a draw Swiper.

Looks like the top 3 all drop points.

Lemlin and myself closing in..

Similar story this week. Most of the top sides lose except myself up to 4th and the Cavan Commandos (they haven't gone away you know!) who storm to the top.

Big 3rd v 4th clash next week vs CSF.

3 wins on the bounce to inch away from the drop zone

Stopping me from going back top in the process

Holding steady in 9th place, this season is all about staying up.

Swiper the fox

3 draws in the last few weeks, can't ever remember having one before. After a great start I'm coming down to earth with a bang, could easily find myself in trouble if things don't pick up.
