Much needed win, hoping another this weekend could get me out of the bottom 3

Im with you on that, i just got out of the relegation zone for the first time this season

GLaDOS

Slipped down to 19th Those narrow defeats and the draw in the last few weeks have really hurt. Have a a better points total than most of the people around me, just unlucky with fixtures.

It's us this week, good luck, i'm only making the 1 xfer and heading out for an evening on the gargle. Hopefully not destroy my team when i land home :pac:

FHFC

Up against bottom side Leeds the Way this week, but he has been extremely unlucky to lose a lot of matches by small margins so nothing taken for granted.

A win could push me into the Champions League spots though.

Captain choice will be crucial this week in H2Hs.

Every week done in by ADM - god I hate him - enjoying down here all my own though ☺

on a 2 game winning streak to get me up to 14th. Mid table beckons if I can get another win. The last time I was on a 2 game winning streak I lost the next 5 though:eek:

I don't have him you'll be glad to know!

Lemlin

Up against Sciencenerd this week. Teams look similar but I fully expect mine to crush his.

Sooner or Later

Gameweek 10 and we have some top top top fixtures this week with first against fifth (me v irish son) and second v third (gillespie road v iago)

And it's live!

iroced

Up against Game of Throw-ins. Very simialr teams.

It's down to his De Gea vs my Krul Ivanovic
...................... PvA ............. Wilson
...................... Dummet ....... Ivanovic Krul
...................... Sterling ........ Chadli
which is about even I'd say.
It could all comes down to his Bertrand vs my Clyne :pac:.

That's Zarquon. He arrived onto the forum at the start of the season in a blaze of glory stating he'd easily finish in the top 10k I think it was but hasn't been seen since!

Well i dont see Mannone getting 7pts+ for me so i think you got it this week

Swiper the fox

I'll win this week unless Di Maria scores a minimum of 12. I have a 12 point lead and have Milner and Aguero to play. This weeks rival (Dearg???) has Aguero and DiMaria to go.

Think its game over for ya again this week. And mainly down to the man I sold ADM for.

Sooner or Later

Having an absolute mare this week - only 22 points with Guzan, Kaboul, Di Maria and Aguero (c) to play.

Given that irish son is on 57 with Eriksen and Aguero to play I think it is a safe assumption that he has the win.

Congrats!

Yeah looking good for me, you'd probably need something special from Di Maria to beat me.

Yea thats me. Sanchez was the difference, can't see di Maria getting too many points so you're looking good.

That's three points wrapped up for me:)

Moves me onto 18 points, sooner or later has lost this week so the leaders will be on 21 points after this week.
Very early days but nice to be in the mix.

GLaDOS

Think me and Lemlin are set to draw, my second. I can't buy a win in this bloody league

Will you not win by 4? Aguero is on for two bonus which will put you on 62. I'll finish on 58.

Excellent. I didn't expect to get that point. Will take it.

FHFC

Could be up to 4th now if current results stand after tomorrow.

iroced

Despite my misery week I'm leading Zarquon by 10 pts. He has PvA left while I'm done. I won't count my chickens yet though...

Yeah looks somewhat decent possibility for me to finally escape that dreaded bottom 3

Iused2likebusts

Beaten 89 72 this week by Thunderdog( well Done) he captained sanchez and I captained costa. On 12 pts and still close to the drop zone.

My 12 points and close to the drop zone is taking a much more positive tone this week. Against Roryc this week, hopefully I can make it 3 wins in a row.

Got worried when I saw PvA assisted for the Sunderland goal and they had the CS at HT...
Realised later he went out injured. They lost their CS anyway.

A "consoling" win considering my miserable score.

Facing Swiper this week.

FHFC

This week its a case of facing a former mentor, its a Jose v Van Gal moment perhaps.....FHFC v Lemlin.

His record in the game speaks for itself, and his wisdom and experience were an important influence on the wide eyed rookie FHFC of last season.

But all that will all count for nothing this weekend, there is no room for sentiment in the FSA Premier. :pac:

Careful now or you'll make Lemlin's number 1 fan jealous (who was that again?):pac:

That's iroced so that I'm facing next week. I'm also on 18 points FHFC, it's very early but it's nice to be right in the mix at this stage.

Ssshhh, just trying to make Lemlin complacent, and make it easier to swallow the unmerciful beating I'm about to administer!

As for the league table, I'll be happy once I'm safe from the drop.

I lost my first three games, at that stage I would have settled for 17th, six wins from the last seven though has changed my aims, I'll settle for nothing less than having it in my sig next year, FSA Premier League Champion. Maybe then Big Borg (for I believe it is he that so respects Lemlin's views) will take me seriously;)

I think it was Arnold Tanzanarian that was head of the fan club...

Last week I told the lads to come back with blood stained jerseys. This week I have told them to rip the heads off their opponents and **** down their necks Duke Nukem-style.

Now how's that for "sentiment".

Did I mention that my big centre forward had a hamstring twinge, dysentery and an ingrowing toenail on his left big toe. All picked up on international duty. There is a little chance he will play but I think it would be as well to just give you the points........

One previous season where you had a decent finish.....

A bit early to be comparing yourself to Mourinho son. I'd say you're more of a Brendan Rodgers!

Lol. I'll take that. Thankfully this season is going a bit better for me than for BR.

Maybe I'm Southampton. Time to prove I can consistently compete at this level and maybe even challenge for a top four spot in the PL.

FHFC

Btw, the Jose thing wasn't a reference to my managerial prowess, just looking for a play on the fact that a poster who was part my FSA schooling last year is now in the cross hairs in the top flight of FPL H2H.

Just in case yis think I really have got incredibly big headed after a wet week in FPL!

Not what the league table says old timer!

Maybe the Fergie example is apt, presiding over the decline of a once great institution and still in denial about it.

Oh you've made an age old mistake son so I'll tell you what I had to tell the other young upstarts...

This is a marathon, not a sprint. To put it bluntly, where you are after 10 GWs matters **** all, it's where you are after 38.

And on that score, there's a gap of 7000 between the Commandos and your Shrewsbury Town lads!

And bear in mind, last season I finished 7k places above you and I'm 170k places better off overall at this stage than I was last year!

As Fergie and Man U know, history means nowt.. The FSA Premier is the only league table that matters in this thread. As the form side coming into this fixture my lads fear nothing against the creaking Commandos.

And where people are in it come week 38 is what matters!

I heard rumours a few of your lads are already feigning injury. The Commandos are a daunting prospect.

Pah. Where United were at week 38 in 2013 didn't help them much in'14!!

My lads don't worry about history, all we focus on is the next game. All that matters this week is the 3 points that are at stake. And as even an upstart Fpl manager knows its form over fixtures.

Oh, and are those rumours or mind games?
