50 points with 10 players, not good, not bad.

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 .

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 watxched the full game, was that the case.

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

I watched it sturridge was central and suarez was predominantly playing off the left. He still hit the post and was close to a couple of assists. Its got to the stage where its a toss of a coin which one you should captain.

42 from Hazard (c) last week, Studge (c) this week. Went with gut and read nothing on any forum, might be the way forward.

66 from 9 after tonight if bps stay same, no complaints.

machiavellianme

78 from 8 pre bonus. That'll do pig.

Yep, that's the killer. Had the City game played I would have still been on 70, plus whatever Yaya and Zab scored. My rival actually did better due to the games being called off as Chambers (9) subbed in. Oh well, onwards and upwards. Consider myself very lucky this week in the end.

Hoping to crack the top 5k after the update.

Gunning for top 40k myself but expect to fall short for now.

Sagna might sneak a BP! Lovely

It'll be treble mine, looks like 30 for the week for me. Getting Rvp in during jan wildcard has messed me up no end, was close to top 20k at one point, will be out to 60k after updates tonight at least!!

This game can be so frustrating!!

That's double my score. Jesus.

I praised the current BP system for being the best since I started playing 4 years ago but, despite knowing why and how it works and accepting it as statistically fair, Suarez being on 0 tonight has to feel weird (I mean only Riether who got a YC is worse than him with -1 :pac:).

Paully D

42 from 7 pre-bonus.

3 for Adebayor and 1 from Mertesacker (possibly) so I'll finish on around 46.

grohlisagod

Sturridge (C) really paid off. Should be around 77 points. Badly needed good week.

FHFC

I'll be looking at 47 from 11 players looks like.

Roller coaster of a GW, looked dire yesterday, looked up when the games cancelled, then crashed again with Sturridge and Ade scoring big and RVP and Mata blanking.

Think its time to take a total time out till after the cup matches.

Kind of agree with you with regard to Suarez, but overall I do think that the new BP system addresses the imbalance that was there with defenders vs midfielders/forwards and I think BP's are (mostly) fairer this season.

What happens if neither my captain or vice captain played this week?

The Megaphone

62 (-4) from 10 with hopefully some bonus pts from Merts & Sturridge so happy out...

Nope my bad. Hazard was my vice captain. Should have 65 for the gameweek. Not bad considering i forgot it was DGW

Good for you then . 65 is a rocking score for this GW !

But it wasn't a DGW. It's actually kind of the opposite with 2 games called off. DGWs will happen though now!

I have a bench of 21 coming on for me, because Yaya didn't play and neither did Coleman.
My bench: Eriksen 0 (didn't play) Collins 15 Kos 6.

To bring me from 40 to 61. Talk about lucky...

roryc

Deise. Dude. Are you drunk.

Fowler87

Will probably end up with 57/58 after BPs. Not too bad after only having 8 players playing

Invincible

59 pts up, not sure if bps are added, hopefully will stay up around the 3700 mark.

Iused2likebusts

Will end up on 67 from 10 players just had canas off the bench for 2 pts. Said it a couple of weeks back when people were talking about getting rid of ade that it was a strange move. A cheap central striker guaranteed game time playing for one of the better teams in the league. Holding sturridge last week when I was really tempted to ditch him for rvp(c) has worked out really well. Kos in the wildcard has been great a good bit cheaper than mert and outscoring him in bps the last few weeks.

51, happy enough

zarquon

77 points from 10. Delighted with that. Made serious ground in my private league tonight

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

WoollyRedHat

BPS added.

Neoulous

Looks like 52 after subs come in. Sounds decent. Lots of big scores in here though :eek:!

Rikand

61 after subs and baps! happy days

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.

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

Lemlin

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.

Danger781

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

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)

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.

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
