Gameweek 15 - Matchday Thread

FHFC

Right, after something of a roller coaster, and bidding my farewell to the FFS cup, I realise that if Total FPL bonus predictions are correct, and Chico only gets 2 (prob because of the the yellow which also cost him a point) and will finish on 9 as predicted by my jinxey friend above, I will end up winning my FFS cup match by 1 point.

I think I need a cup of tea. Bloody hell.

8-10

Another decent week. Average from last 8 GW's is over 77pts. Should mean all green arrow again.

Chico yellow.

My favourite post of the night.....and Lemlin's I wager.

Lemlin

Anyone know where Dahat got that info that the higher ranked player wins?

If it goes to goals scored, Dahat will win because of Chico's goal.

Definitely highest ranked. Said it on the first page about the cup, before the qualifiers round. Highest rank wins if tied for qualifier round and in cup proper.

Edit..here it is:

The Paddy Power Cup is our version of the Fantasy Premier League’s Fantasy Cup game. Entrants who qualify for the first round will be randomly drawn against each other and the winner of the tie is whoever has the highest score from that Gameweek, minus points spent on transfers (like in the original game and in head-to-head scores). In the event of a tie, the Manager highest in the overall standing will progress..

I wouldn't be counting those bps as final yet lads. They do change after final whistle and a lot of the negative ones - dispossesions etc get added

Chico heading for 11 with 3 bonus.

I heard the news on the radio and felt an immediate pang of guilt. I won't do it again I promise

Danny does have a tendency to get caught offside every time the ball goes up the pitch.

Would be a fitting twist all right. Was nearly glad to be out as could do with taking a hit to sort Brady and Gerrard out without worrying about it knocking me out of the cup.

dahat

Just logged in, Chico scores, yahoo...Chico yellow,ouch.....2 or 3 bp's, squeaky bum time!

KevIRL

Looking more like 2 now tbh, usually are sorted by this stage.

I remember Granville from FFS saying that the 'winning goal' BP goes to the first goalscorer in the event of a draw or a win by more than one goal, could be the difference here...

Dempsey

According to TotalFPL

3 Points (10 BPS): Graham
2 Points (9 BPS): Chico
1 Point (8 BPS): Elmohamady

It was a close tie all round, well played sir!

They just replicate whatever is the latest on the main FPL site though, still not finalised. Although unlikely to change now I'd say

eh i dunno

Finished on 68. Raging with krul on bench

Sneak through would be the right description. It's still not finalised yet.

I thought that was it earlier when Chico scored.

It was pretty close as we thought it might be.

irish son

Will finish on 57 for the week, disapointing but not terrible, I'd say I'll drop to about 120,000th.

dahat

BP's added, 2 for Chico...

Well done Lemlin!!!

FHFC

Bonus just added. 2 it is.


Not really feeling all that proud of beating a fella who took an 8 point hit by only 1 point, but he's sitting in the top 1,000 in the world so I'll take it!

Through literally by the skin of my teeth. Well played. It was some tie.

It was good craic over the weekend. 9pts tonight should see me rise another bit overnight so all is not lost.

Nerve wracking stuff alright and being up against another Boardsie made it alot more interesting.

Edit: just looking at your team and you are going to be stretched next week. Vlaar injured and Cabaye/Chico suspended.

Cantona's Collars

No Brady playing means that Whittaker comes in with 5 points to bring me up to 68 for the week.Happy enough with that.

kwestfan08

Finished on 67 but still feels like a disappointment after being knocked out of the FFS cup. Fair play to Kev was a great tie. Damn Fer and his massive 14 pont haul . Best of luck for the rest of your cup run.

HighClass

Finished on 65. Not too happy with it but it could have been worse. Sum total of 11 points from my midfield. If I didn't have captain Suarez I'd be seeing reds!

Mr.Prodston

72 points for the week. Ashley Williams' 1 pointer leaving me on a lovely and round 900 points and in 128k. Not too shabby considering I was in a crazy 880k just 7 GWs ago. Some very careful plotting is required over the next 2 GWs now to push me inside the top 100k by Xmas!

Danger781

Jeez lads, I thought I did decent this week on 57..

Erryone here is higher than me!

BNMC

Remy subbing in for Brady brings me to 67 for the week. Up to 152k. 8th consecutive week of green arrows. I was 930k after GW 7. :eek:

Like Mr.P, my aim is to break 100k before 2014.

Dempsey

I was ~132k overall after GW7. I then went into a downward spiral because of poor choices and tbh I wasnt focused on what was going on. In GW11, I was ~946k. I'm ~228k now after GW15 and I'm very happy with my team at the moment but we all know yer only 1 GW from a disaster!

Danger781

I'm up 380k places in the past 3 weeks.. Still at a disappointing 950k

Happy days, I'm crawling my way back! 40 points of a gap between me and the lad above me in my private league. He must be caught..

Lemlin

I fell 1k last night but finish at 9k. Top 10k baby, oh yeah!

The only way now is down I fear!

Necronomicon

68 points brings me to just outside 58k.

I had to log into the mobile site to see that, anyone having difficulty with the main site?

Indeed, probably means a hit to shift Chico for a playing cheapy, not sure who yet.

Yep it won't log me on

GLaDOS

Yeah main site has gone mad, can't log in

FHFC

Ended up rising a few places to 53k. Been pretty much the exact same position overall for 4 weeks now, variation of only about 700 places over the 4 week period!

Consistently no making progress or consistently keep pace with the leaders depending on your outlook on life!

Swiper the fox

Unbelievable, so it turns out that Danny Graham was the man responsible for Lemlin winning the FFS cup tie that had us all captivated:eek:
With Rooney playing against the Villa defence next week I'm trying to work out how best that situation could work to your advantage:pac:

Indeed, I'm sure Steve Bruce walked up to him before the game and said "come on Danny, even you can score against your old club, everyone does it".

Haven't seen the goal. Was it a tap in? Has to have been. It cannot have required any piece of skill whatsoever from Danny. He has none.

An excellent cross from the edge of the penalty area that curls so that it goes the back post between the keeper & defender from Elmohamady. Graham is running with the defender on his blindside and gets his shot back across the goal to beating Tremmel. Its a goal all about the quality of the cross but Graham still had a fair bit of work to do to score.

But you're missing the most important detail.

HE DIDN'T CELEBRATE AGAINST HIS FORMER CLUB

Which has quickly become a bug bear of mine.
Fair enough for a hometown lad that developed in the academy etc of a club, but fcuk of Graham, you had 2 years there and they've stopped crying.

They got 5 million for him. There was no crying on their part when that transfer went through. Sunderland on the other hand....

FutureGuy

Lads, lets keep the discussion to FPL, not general Soccer.

KevIRL

Just noticed I got my highest GW ranking of the season (and first inside 100K) this week. Also moved to my highest overall rank at the end of a GW, although still outside the top 20K....just.

Not bad for a week where 1 player got 0pts, 3 got 1pt and 3 got 2pts

Suarez has officially been awarded the forth goal against West Ham, Will this be updated on the FF ?
