Top 10k is from 1897 pts. I'm 33 pts off. I was 40 pts off last week. From his rankings I guess Lemlin is about that off top 10k. Doable but tough. And no big mistakes allowed anymore. And speaking for myself no more captain fails :rolleyes:...

Looking over my posts from last year I moved just inside the top 40k after week 33. I finished in 11k so a lot can happen in these final weeks.

Lemlin

How many points off 10k are you? If you're set up for next week and have a bit of luck and a good plan could easily make up the difference.

I'm on 1856 points so I'm 41 points off top 10k. The problem is I'm poorly setup for next week. I only have three DGwers and one of them is Remy.

I'm not overly worried. Might take a -4 but that'll be about it.

Thanks to reading this forum I have accumulated 1959 points so far and an OR of 1670 my best ever. Could have 7 double players as well if I go -4

So you would have 5 then? I think I'll have the same.

Liverpool looked poor yesterday (certainly in an attacking sense), so I'm not convinced that going all out for 3 of their players is necessary.

As for chelsea I have Hazard, Terry and Remy. I'd rather have Ivan than Remy, but not worth a hit I feel.

Don't go jinxing him now! We could also have a season like last season *shudder*

I dunno I enjoyed last season a lot more with my one week inside the top 100k Although I've come to the conclusion that I have a self destruct button that I can't help but press at some point. Be it GW 2 last season or GW 20 this one....I'm an equal opportunities self destructor!

Maybe I'll last longer again next season. Otherwise I'll have to have a second team full of alternative players to keep me entertained :pac:

Liverpool have looked poor for weeks......I'm not even sure I want 2 never mind 3 of their players.
I prob need a new goalie as I've myhill and foster so I'll prob get mignolet
after that ?
sterling has been lauded as an OOP midfielder all year but he can't finish !
Henderson was a good option given price but that was without Gerrard getting in the way !
coutinho .......no thanks .
if it was not for the DGW I would not even be considering one of their players... ...form over fixtures and all that

I've gotten Mig in already, as I see his worth over the rest of the season - he'll do til the end, and I also have Boaz the Beast.

I see value in Henderson, and again see him as a good value option to keep in until the end of the season. At the minute I'm thinking of him in for Mane (I have 2 FTs).

So that leaves me with trying to decide if it's worth Sterling in for Eriksen/Silva for a -4 hit. On current form Sterling would be just a one week punt and would make way for an Arsenal mid very quickly. So not sure if he's worth it. Of course that would change if Silva is confirmed as out, so going to sit on this one for a while.

Will see later in the week. I'm not really pushed at this stage to be honest. It's been a cruel season and I'm in autopilot mode just seeing it out. The last few weeks have been killer with Costa, Remy and others getting injured.

Necronomicon

Finally some green arrows. 63 brings me back to 29k. Similar to Lemlin, being around the 10k mark seems a distant memory but it was only 6 GWs ago. Feels great to have a captain score again for the first time in an eternity.

Just looking back at this week last year I moved up from 22k to 15, I finished strongly from there to end on 8k.

Unfortunately I see I was only 20 points off the money places in the Harps league this time last year, eventually came third, but am 42 away from that ATM.

I just realised there is 750 for the winner of the Bohs league aswell. I'm joint top of that. Squeaky bum time. They are paying out for top 5.

How do you look at a week by week for previous season(s)?

I think you go back and check last yrs gw thread. Well that's what I do although there could be another way.

Thought for a sec you went from 22k to 15th and was holy sheep that's insane!!

You can try use the way back machine to get your history every season is there but it is next to impossible to search through. I always save a screenshot of my gw history but the laptop I had the last few years packed in and I didn't back it up.

2005 they got the code from a game called cyki they were the biggest game before that but it was a lot smaller they came back a few years later but by then FPL had taken off. There was less points and no captains but in general the basic game was the same.

I think the game predates 2005 a few years but there's nothing in that archive.

This and a couple more notes and stuff I did during each season. At first I thought it would help me not reproduce the same mistakes... Ahah what a fool I was :rolleyes: :pac:...

Wow - that's a blast from the past! A simpler time when captain polls didn't matter because Thierry Henry was pretty much a perma-captain

I feel for new players who never got to experience trying to make a team featuring the holy trinity!
