    49 with Pieters, Eriksen, Dzeko, Sturridge and Rooney still to play. Absolutely delighted, up to 30,000 in the world too

    44 from 7. Nothing spectacular - but not terrible either. Might drop a bit tomorrow though as only have 4 left to play.

    Looks like Giroud out will be order of the week. Thinking Costa in, but that will require a hit.

    51 from 8 is more than decent I think.

    However my call on Sanchez over Ramsey is clearly my first major mistake of the season. Costing me 13 points over two games and two defeats in the FSA head to head.

    Clyne getting booked probably costing him possible bonus is a pity too.

    The late kickoff killed me. No Ramsey, no party.

    Has your captain played?

    Yes, costa.

    Mata, Rooney, Fletcher left.

    Not a great score really, and ranking will drop like a stone of City Liverpool is high scoring. Just didn't want to risk the wrath of saying it was 'not bad' if others were worse....

    46 gives me a GW rank of 180k which is excellent all things considered. As a forum we're successful so far this week so a "poor" score will actually not be too bad just not as good as some mentioned. So don't be worrying there's plenty to play for yet!

    Look on the bright side folks :)

    Well as Eamon Dunphy would say ... it's a good score not a great score.

    Yeah weekly average is 28, but that means nothing on here! I'm pretty sure 46 (or 44 like I got) is around the average on here, if not lower than the average!

    56 so far with Rooney, Mata, De Gea and Fletcher to play. Very happy that especially after a below average first week.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,366 ✭✭✭✭Kylo Ren


    Taylor on the bench. I feel ill.

    49 with van Aanholt, Mata and Rooney.

    38 pts so far with De Gea, Caulker, Bruce, Mata, Rooney & Fletcher to play. Today's result are not good for me though (especially with all the CS).

    I feel my team's pretty week somehow. GK choice is not good but couldn't find a satisfying combo so went for one that allows many possibilities now. Will have to sort my defence out and consider a City attacking cover at some point. Haven't been following it closely enough though and feel lost in this new FF season :o...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 400 ✭✭Harvey Low Fat Milk


    42 with 6 to play tomorrow. Have 3 United players so I'm hoping for a dominant performance with lots of goals and a clean sheet, likewise with Stoke and otherwise a big performance from Eriksen and I'm golden!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,793 ✭✭✭FunLover18


    45 from 6, very happy with that. Up into the 200ks Begovic, Ince, Mata, Rooney, and Remy still to play


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 921 ✭✭✭Shaque attack


    54 from 8 with Rooney, De Gea, and Silva to play. Pretty happy with that.

    Any word if Bruce will start tomorrow or is he gone?

    Wisdom on the bench :o

    He's not gone anyway. Blackburn have rejected both bids from Hull. Statement released early yesterday morning by Rovers.

    Apparently Blackburn have been after Bruce all Summer so it may not even have been agreed that he'd be part of any deal.

    47 from six for me today. Begovic, Caulker, Sterling, Rooney and Fletcher left.

    Those that have played have been so successful that I'm expecting those who are left to get about five points between them!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,553 ✭✭✭✭Copper_pipe


    47 with Rooney, mata, de gea , caulker and fletcher to play. Ranked 149k


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,244 ✭✭✭✭Lemlin


    Overnight ranking of 27k. Last weekend I was up at 15k and fell to the 80s. Would be delighted to remain in the top 100k again this week after all games are played. Start is going too well tbh.

    I'm away at the Kerry Mayo game in Croker today so will miss all the action. Hoping to log on later to see a certain mid has scored single figures to comfortably justify my transfer.

    The way the weekend is going for the popular players on this forum he'll probably have a hat trick though!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 475 ✭✭Rosco79


    46 from 7 with Rooney, Dzeko, Silva and Jones to go...... Big interest left in the Manchester clubs!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,488 ✭✭✭✭KevIRL


    32 points, just 5 left to play. Sanchez has to go


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,488 ✭✭✭✭KevIRL


    Made a real mess of my Ultimate squad this week too, left all my attackers in the squad when I couldnt possibly play them all. Bad week all round really

    At a Holi Festival yesterday so missed all the action. Figured with Terry, Fabregas, Costa (c), Siggy and Ramsey all scoring well I'd be doing alright with my 39, but it seems to be on the low side. Dropped down in all my leagues and knocked back to 65k. Only bad decision I made was playing Debuchy over Hutton which has cost me 5 points, who figured Villa would be strong defensively!

    Still have Pieters and Bojan to play in the early game today, and De Gea, Mata and Rooney in the late one. No players tomorrow night so need to do well today to stay in the top 50k! Our company director is currently 331st in the world with 5 players still to play...

    @ roryc

    Did you ever pick up your prize from FX Buckley Fantasy league?
    I got a bottle of Jameson from Dave for 2nd place.

    By the sounds of this our teams are identical this week. Is it a case of great minds or fools failing to differ?
