GW 12 match day thread

KevIRL

22nd overall in ultimate and second in Ireland. Gap starting to open though to the overall leader, 47 points behind him

spock.

Finish the week with 55. Hopefully into the top 10k

unkymo

54 ,a good week!

Should get me back inside the top 1,000,000 Having a rubbish season!

tom_k

41 points all in and my second lowest score this season but because of the kind of week it was I don't think I'll fall too far. Happy enough.

Should end up on 50 (-4) in total. Fairly decent, considering all the anguish on show in here.

People need to realise, it ain't so bad underperorming on these kind of weekends. If you only score, say, 35 and the masses have 50 or thereabouts, then it's better than the weeks where two people run amok and you have neither...... (i.e. You get 60 but everyone is closer to 100).

Really sickened me that Southampton goal, I still haven't got any defensive cover for them. 10 points gained on my 2 nearest rivals before tonight, one has Clyne and the other bertnard but on the plus side neither can afford aguero.

Anything around 40 would be a god score this week.
Low 30's - very average but you only need an extra 5 points next week to make it up.

Anything over 50 is a great score this week.

My 44 doesn't worry me at all despite my relatively high ranking.
I don't even complain abot captain Aguero, captaining Costa wouldn't turn things around for me either:D

Perfect week to stay calm and focus on the transfers and tactics. No drama, no hattricks, 4 clean sheets out of 20 games with half of it awarded to Leicester and Sunderland.

What a meaningless and boring weekend of football behind us

Chesty08

End up with 34!

Only way is down

FHFC

Auto subs in. Worth staying up for the ranking?! Hmmm.

Gonna give it 30 minutes

46 points for the week and I'm happy. Should remain about the same I'd imagine! Team isn't looking in the greatest shape though at the minute for next week.

Ziegler1988

GW rank updated. Shouldn't be too long now to OR

Poor Zombie:D Hasn't made a single transfer since GW4 and now up to 895k:eek:

Spot on average for me. I'll take it.

Nib

Updated!

Up to 4.4k after 43. Got to be happy with that.

manual_man

woohoo:)

44k. rise of 57k places

Ziegler1988

40 points sees me drop from 3k to 4.5k. Could have been worse

wonski

Still going strong.

Slight drop but who cares:D

FHFC

48pts. Up nearly 400 to 2,463

Top of the FSA Premier.

I'll take that coming out of the week of death.

wonski

From a total meltdown to happiness in less than 10 minutes:D

Everyone seems to be doing just fine despite the "terrible score".

Cypher_sounds

41pts slowly dropping from my season high of around 10k at gw 7, now at 64k.

I blame that mainly on missing the Pelle and Tadic train. Confident of seeing green again soon though.

Mr.Prodston

44 (-4) sees me stay exactly where I was last night 8.8k. A 2k weekly drop.

That says more for what happened those without Clyne or Bertrand I imagine.

Onwards now and if I'm still inside 10k in a months time I'll be thrilled. A wildcard still tempting me. Can still be my ace in the hole at some point in the season hopefully.

Just do it:D Do it now.

I doubt there is another advanced regular poster around here who didn't use it yet. Join us. It worked for me;)

Miguel_Sanchez

48 points.

Not bad considering I used three subs and still only fielded 10 men.

Another small bump up to 1.5 million. (woop! :rolleyes:)

Three weeks of green arrows though. Hopefully I can keep it up.

Ace2007

End up on 45 which I was quite happy with until I saw the red arrow

Depends on where you are now, and where you were before;)

Red arrows are ok sometimes.

I've been getting away with not making the best of decisions with regards my captain choices, but I've only just noticed that I have been inside the top 10k since gameweek 2.

According to that stat tool, the difference between my highest possible capt. points VS what i actually got is 150 pts. Those 150 would leave me on 861 points, overall, which is 54 more than the lad in 1st place! This game would drive you bonkers sometimes.

Your highest possible captain points include Dier / Chester / Chambers random runs of 10+ points. No need to look at these "tools" at all.

I've kinda gotten used to having it now and having endless possibilities each week. Plus it's shiny

Ultimately I've been happy enough to coast the last month or so. It's there when I need it.

That is a super impressive run! Worst GW rank 1.2M. Well done.

Now you might as well keep it till the Jan WC. And if you play the latter well with the little pinch of luck that helps you might be on to something huge. Chances are there'll be only 1 DGW this year (I can't remember exactly why, think it's linked with FA Cup games being played at a different time than PL ones this year -- anyway busts knows ) so with your WC in hand you could make some serious ground at the end of the season.
I've been playing like that for 2 years before adopting the early WC last year. I did make huge ground during these end of seasons DGWs, not enough to make the top 10k (started too far behind) but still.


---

41 pts in the end for me. Down to 135k.

Huge decisions to be taken this week. I'm going all out. It's either the Champions League or the relegation. But I'm getting tired of my mid-table mediocrity :pac:...

G1032

My 31 saw me drop 22,000+ places. Now 43,500. Wow.

jamesbondings

is there a boards league??

There is. I don't know where the code is though... Just automatically renews each season

Lemlin

Last night could not have gone worse. 4 points from two players. I finish on 40 points and fall from 27k to 35k. 2.2 mil GW ranking, my worst by far of the season.

I'm hoping now though that the flip in the fixtures for some teams will catch a few out. One lad jumped above me in a private league because his backline was Krul, Dummett, Clyne and Bertrand - 29 points!

That Saints goal was a killer. The two players anyone who doesn't have didn't want involved.

I'll be dumping Forster before the weekend. I'm not actually sure he's that good a 'keeper. MoTD showed earlier in the season where he made a lot of dodgy saves in a game (nearly missing the ball, letting it bounce off his chest etc.) and it'll be interesting to see how he does in his next few games.

He's had a period of games where there have been very few shots at him but he's now going to play the bigger sides who will retain possession and should be putting him under pressure.

KevIRL

Ended the week on 19k a rise of 9k places. Still so bunched, dropped from 12k to 19k overnight mostly thanks to clyne. A good (or bad) Xmas period will change a lot

Rikand

Only dropped 7k overall with my 40 points. Calling that a serious result and getting the hell out

OneColdHand

So this week was a disaster thanks to last night. The lack of returns from Forster and Pelle, combined with the Clyne/Bertand goal, turned what would have been a bad week, into a disaster. Finished on 34, and dropped from 10k to 20k. There's always going to be a week like this. I know my team is still decent, so I think I just need to not panic, and hope to make some of it up next week.

Think I'll get rid of Forster. But I think Pelle might have to go too - he really was poor last night.

Necronomicon

Last night was horrendous. Sold Clyne last week in order to fund Sanchez, so that late equaliser really hurt. Ended up on 40, dropping from 13k to 18k. Really have to stop the slide.

km79

the guys with the highest scores in my main league 63 62 and 60
do not have aguero or Costa. none of them
frontlines were wellbeck long bony
berhainho pelle sahko
pelle lukaku Naismith !
next best had Costa ayoze pelle
my front line of Costa aguero Rooney meant my mid is weak and without baines playing I got a score of 33
its seems crazy but I am almost certainly selling costa for bony .
one goal no bonus again and I won't captain him for next few weeks
bony will match him and I'll upgrade tadic to haz and a Wilson to azpil
GW rank 2.97 million YIKES

Paully D

47 brings me down from ~3k to ~4.5k, though I have held top position in all of my main private leagues and just a small drop in the other leagues.

I'd have taken that all day long given how the gameweek started. A nice parting gift from Bertrand who I have replaced with Azpil.

Another gameweek done and dusted and now we start to have midweek games and the busy Christmas period. Bring it on

AdMMM

This is a cruel red arrow...

its like the anti-international break

Sooner or Later

43 points and a 4k drop to 31k

FutureGuy

Nothing from Pelle again but Clyne brought home the bacon - too bad Bertrand pops up with an assist and 2 BPS in the same game (3 rivals have him).

Dropped 2k places to 30k after a 43.

Top 6 in my main money league scored 43, 42, 43, 43, 40, 43
