    So you're about 1 player down. This player will need 10 pts for everyone to make your result the average.

    Not sure many have City def.

    You have 5 big hitters including (C) still to play. You'd need to be extremely unlucky tomorrow to not finish comfortably above average (even top 10K average).

    What you said about 2 weeks ago sounds strange though. You must have been very highly ranked for that to happen.

    sorry should have said fell 7k not 70k.
    Sure we'll see tomorrow how i get on.

    Don't dwell on it too much. It could all change again tomorrow if Aguero has a stinker.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 328 ✭✭Griever931


    15 (-4) from 4 players.

    Ah OK. Makes sense then. Anyway think you won't drop this week and apart from your Yaya who can keep quiet, I really expect you have a huge rise tomorrow :D.

    Personally, down below the 200k mark tonight. Hopefully my big hitters halt my descent into hell...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,305 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Prodston


    My 22 sees me up to 4.8k from 6.4k.

    Tomorrow's the big day and if Hazard can out score Aguero I'll be laughing. Boyd sitting ad 1st sub is a useful contingency. Mirallas my main punt and now also have a fresh Baines to prove he's worth keeping.

    If only I had captained Sergio I'd be able to sit back and relax.

    Down 10k to 41k, but considering that has a -16 factored in, not in too bad shape. 6 to go including captain Hazard


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,502 ✭✭✭spock.


    Down 500 to 10.5k. Sanchez Aguero Baines(c) Ivanovic Hazard to play.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,121 ✭✭✭Mr. Guappa


    16 from 5, Hutton the only positive. Boyd first sub so hopefully Pelle doesn't feature.
    Baines, Hazard, Eriksen, Alexis, Pelle, Aguero (C) still to go.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,076 ✭✭✭tom_k


    My 16 points so far have only seen me drop 355 places to 8705.

    Some ridiculously good scores from zombie teams in a few of my private leagues that have Henderson, Hutton, Mata, Guzan etc.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,747 ✭✭✭Ziegler1988


    I moved down a whopping 76 places. I'm sure there are some deliberate Boyd autosub trolls like jebforever though :p

    19 (-4) with Baines, Chambers, Eriksen, Sanchez, Fabregas and Captain Aguero left to go tomorrow.
    This gameweek hasn't started yet.

    68 places down to 270 OR.
    1 place down in Ireland - 22 at this moment.

    Very happy with Boyd who replaced Costa this week, he is a true hero:D

    I took a hit 2 times so far - 4 points in GW11 and another 4 this week.

    GW11 was a miracle with 82 point (GW rank 39k and 29 points over the average points that gameweek).

    I hope it works again, all down to Eriksen now:D

    I stuck Given in goal for a laugh following on from Jebs antics :) ... First time I've even done something like that and I won't be doing it again.
    However it obviously was the kick up the arse that Guzan needed :)

    Was dreading a "Guzan injured - Given on" post big time over the last few minutes.
    He's on my bench with a juicy 7 points ready to come in.

    Eriksen has been almost unplayable in the last couple of games. Anything against Chelsea would be a bonus, but Spurs have a nice little 4 game run after, hopeful the Danish Dynamo can bring him some nice points in that time

    When I had Krelliot at the beginning of the season, there were some people on FFS saying always start Elliott since Krul could be sent off and then Elliott would have a chance of saving the PK. The counter argument is the starter gets injured after 60 mins with a cleanie and you're stuck with the 1 point replacement.

    Eriksens got 22 points in the last two games and is currently by a very narrow margin the 5th highest scoring midfielder. His main problem is the team that's playing around him IMO and that's not meant as a dig at Spurs supporters. If anyone in that side is capable of putting one past Chelsea it's him.

    He's on my radar as a Fab replacement when I get in a Chelsea defender.

    Spurs in general haven't been great, your right. But i watched their game against Everton from start to finish, and they were simply superb, with Eriksen their standout player (Kane was very good too), against a strong Everton team. It struck me as one of those defining games, that could well really kick-start their season. There was an incredible togetherness among the team, which can count for alot.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,076 ✭✭✭tom_k


    Good to hear. I'm influenced a lot by what i hear from my brother who lives in North London and is married into a Spurs family. The general negativity and disappointment I'm hearing this year is unprecedented with the only glimmers of light being Eriksen and as you mentioned, Kane.

    Now that's just asking for trouble PARlance tsk tsk. :p At least I knew Rooney had no chance of playing and SGB (could become a thing :)) was ready to come in with his ever reliant 2 point haul that magically transformed into a tasty 9 point haul. Boyd is becoming this season's cult hero a la John Ruddy and Micky T from seasons gone by.

    I Don't think this would work.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,639 ✭✭✭✭KevIRL


    Drop of almost exactly 1k places from 16k to 17k after my 15 point haul. Can only imagine lack of points hit helped a lot there


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 7,532 ✭✭✭G1032


    Up 202 places with my 20 (-4). Around the 33,500 mark


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 15,257 Mod ✭✭✭✭FutureGuy


    Up about 1.5k to 19k after 16 mainly because I didn't take hits when alot of others probably did a -4.

    Boyd sitting on the bench in case someone is out. Best first sub ever :-D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,022 ✭✭✭✭Iused2likebusts


    My 25 sees me up from 30k to 20k.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 7,532 ✭✭✭G1032

    How many points have you? (just so I have an idea how far off top 20,000 I am). I've 734 in 33,500th place
