    I think it was yourself I had a debate with over the value merit of Koscielny over Mertesacker long-term. Glad to see you've seen the error of your ways (only joking) and it's paying off
    No that wouldnt have been me. I had no arsenal defender until the jan wildcard that along with not having coleman killed me throughout Nov and Dec. Didnt have enough money in the wildcard for Mert and Terry so had to go for kos and azpil the cheaper alternatives so far so good.


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


    Kos in the wildcard has been great a good bit cheaper than mert and outscoring him in bps the last few weeks.

    Thought I was being clever going for Sagna during the WC but the right choice was Kos and he was cheaper at that time (after his injury). Ah well only a couple of pts but I know it can make the difference comes GW38!

    This is a week where some people did very very well, and others did very very bad. A breath of fresh air.

    Ended up with 63 from 11, happy with that & should see more green arrows to consolidate top 10k position. T

    he next bunch of gameweeks will be fascinating, with the 4 teams tonight with DGWs to come, GW28 with the league cup and the GW29 carnage to come. Potential for serious gains. Would love to have that wildcard back :)

    72 points after bonus. Noone to sub in with 3 will make it 75.

    I pointed out in the captain thread Ade could be a great captaincy choice but no way had I the balls to captain him.

    Hoping to move up with that score. I had ten play so no reason to complain at all.

    Will have a nice break from the game now.

    I assumed with the matches postponed that people would come off the bench... am I wrong? :confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,131 ✭✭✭NabyLadistheman


    Here we go, great to watch it now again. The less said about my dodgy stream the better, nearly threw the laptop out the window after the peno I was that excited!

    you will definetly move up thats a brilliant score this week top 500 for you Id say. Cant wait for the break myself will go top of my main money league tonight after being 6th and 120 pts behind the leader at xmas.

    Ok, how the fudge are people getting such high scores?? Suarez did nothing, City and Everton didn't play and Arsenal and Man U attacking assets weren't worth a slap!

    I knew my 35 from 7 players wasn't great but some of the scores on here have me questioning if I have the first clue how to play this game!

    67 for me.... with Hazard as captain getting 4 of them.

    Collins, Ade, Sturridge basically made the week for me. (47 from 3)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,067 ✭✭✭✭ShaneU


    89 points, highest this season for me

    I only got 41 and got shafted with Negredo/Zabaleta and I'm in the top 9k worldwide so I don't really understand it either. I think it's just that you always get people who score highly posting about it whereas anyone who is average or below average tends to keep quiet.

    Global ranking is only a bonus tbh. It's the two private leagues I'm in that are still competitive that I'm watching.

    The lad in one just keeps pegging me back. One week I'll go 40 points ahead. Then he pegs me back to twenty. Then it'll take two GWs for me to go 40 ahead and then he'll peg me back again. Can't complain once I'm ahead though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,131 ✭✭✭NabyLadistheman


    Disgusting week for myself. 42 (-8)

    Brought in Miralles & Kolorov for the hit!! Can only take that on the chin I suppose. 2 lads in my league I am competing with were not much better so no harm. NO MORE HITS!!!!

    Too true, we tend to gloat a bit on the good gameweeks.

    He is a good indication of the Active Average
    It's based on 80 active players on this forum

    FSA 14/15 League Championship - PreQualifier Rankings
    Average for this week 52 points:
    As always that's without me checking the transfer hits.
    A quick check of some teams suggests a fairly low GW for hits.

    Adjusted Active Average 51 points

    Suarez (C) hurt. For the first real time this year. Really considered Sturridge (had it vice for all week until I switched to Yaya afraid of the tube strike to take place). But just couldn't ignore the 50+% of captaincy from FFS (C) poll... I'm sure over the course of the season it is the right method. But when such a GW happen I'd love to have more balls :D.

    Anyway it's turning like a great GW for me (should be over 50 pts) but could have been even better and I know from previous years that when you can score big you have to score big. Not all GWs are turning in your favour.



    For the ones who watched the full game, was that the case?

    Put on the last 15 min and Suarez was pretty much upfront. Had he been a bit more selfish at times he could have nicked one.

    He was playing on the right hand side of a front 3 for the most part, hit the post and was heavily involved in Pool's attacking play, as usual.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,988 ✭✭✭garra


    68 from 10. Like a lot of posters I considered Sturridge for arm-band but didn't commit.
    Defence of Fonte, Marshall, Kosc returned 34 pts.. which was nice.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,685 ✭✭✭✭wonski


    79 (-4) from 9 players. Great score, up to 309k from 454k. With Suarez as a captain.
    The captaincy choice was the only thing i did "wrong" - Suarez and Hazard as vice. Suarez was an active player tonight and created lot of chances for both himself and his team. Pretty sure he will get tired of passing the ball and provide us with great return very soon. So glad i wasn't heavily loaded with City. Bringing Sturridge for a hit to replace RVP did the trick, too.
    5 out of 9 players with 3 bonus points:D Good result:D
    All done with Marshall, Koscielny, Fonte, Lallana, Sterling, Hazard, Sturridge, Adebayor and Suarez(c). Coleman and Silva did not play, so did my bench...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,675 ✭✭✭HighClass


    65. Delighted :D. Wish I'd captained either Ade or Sturridge though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 270 ✭✭sanket


    59 from 9 players..If negredo silva and coleman had played.it would have been one of the best GWs ever for me. was betting high on silva and negredo as diffrentials..cant imagine my luck on the weather. Everyone had discarded city players due to their upcoming blank gws and i was trying to gain something on that.

    Guess i would have to resign to the fact that i cant go below 50k rank this year.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,318 ✭✭✭✭Menas


    70 points from 10 players. Delighted with that. Finally have broken the 100k mark and done so with style sitting at 70k.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 262 ✭✭narfsnonsense


    53 moves me into the top spot in my money league....by 3 points, but still top! Just gotta widen that gap now.

    J Rods performance of late isn't helping though and it will require points hit and downgrading midfield or defence to sort it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,855 ✭✭✭The Wild Bunch


    78 from 8

    GERRR IN


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


    75 for the week despite captaining Suarez. Up to 397 in the world.

    Now 66 points ahead in one competitive private league. 36 ahead in the other.

    Top of the PL in the FSA Pre Qualifier Rankings (and yes, despite the season not being nearly over I will gloat about this because I don't expect it to last ;))

    Perfect time to have a ten day break from the game.

    Great success :D

    30 points. What a disaster of a night.

    Think I'll go Suarez -> Sturridge and Mata -> Lallana
