    A few stats.

    Only 2 chips played so far...2 x Wildcards in GW2
    Hits so far in this GW3...8 players x 1 hit; 3 players x 2 hits; 1 player x 3 hits
    Last week, of the current top 30; 2 captained Vardy, 2 x Aguero, 2 x Salah, 1 x Mane and 23 x Lukaku

    Jayus nothing will go unseen in this league!
    I am/was close to using the wildcard....those three hits could go very badly for me....

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    Have to say that when I saw those 3 hits, I assumed it was someone who was going to hit the WC button before the deadline:P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,940 ✭✭✭✭gormdubhgorm


    If anyone needs to be amused/needs a laugh I took a -12 point hit (2 free transfers)

    IN
    OUT

    Hegazi
    Valencia (Hegazi has yet to play but Valencia will get a clean sheet and three bonus)

    Pogba
    De Bruyne (This finished level on points as KDB got a bonus)

    Mkhitaryan

    Ritchie (Both players got an assist but Mkhitaryan got a yellow)

    Chicharito
    Jesus (Chicharito got a whole 1 point while Jesus got a goal and three bonus)

    Eriksen
    Ward-Prowse (My only hope to salvage this is Eriksen my captain)


    As a result of these transfers I benched Clark and started stones another 15 points on the bench.

    I think I could lose out on close to 40 points by the end of the gameweek... :o

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,671 ✭✭✭jay0109


    40 pts down....wow!!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 516 ✭✭✭wong


    Woah, you need to calm down on the kneejerking gorm!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 474 ✭✭The Megaphone


    I'm just happy that the FF Gods showed mercy on those who captained Lukaku with a Kane blank!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 474 ✭✭The Megaphone


    Some serious competitors in this league, no one saying nothin' - afraid to give anything away (ye cagey fooks!!)

    Yeah I bet they wear sunglasses when they read this thread just in case anyone can see what they are thinking.

    I would say to them make sure to take all my advice :rolleyes:

    Well I just panicked and played my wildcard - little pea coming off has upset me!

    doesnt seem like aguero is to prevalent in our league. gonna have to try to squeeze him in some how.

    spurs have 3 nice games coming up as well. i expect lots of points from kane.

    vardy sneaking up there nicely as well


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 474 ✭✭The Megaphone

    Interesting to see a headcount after the next deadline!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,940 ✭✭✭✭gormdubhgorm


    I have not totted up how many points I lost with this wildcard but it must be close to 30 points.

    Worst wildcard ever?

    GW8
    https://fantasy.premierleague.com/a/team/163549/event/8

    WC GW9
    https://fantasy.premierleague.com/a/team/163549/event/9

    I think my chances are gone this year.
    Time to focus on the sky game? :D

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,671 ✭✭✭jay0109


    This is the weirdest year of the 7 I've played FF. Cant seem to get a run going, made a hash of my WC a few weeks ago, broke my own rules by going with an expensive defence and a 4 man set up at that.
    Might just take a stack of hits over the coming weeks and hope it sets me up for mid Nov onwards


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,672 ✭✭✭elefant


    Very good standard in this league. 15 in the top 150k overall is pretty impressive!

    My main tactic is hope they all over indulge over the Christmas period miss deadlines, take loads of hits and/or forget to hit the wildcard button.

    Then again I am most likely to do all those things. :D

    Rotation of pinting will be very important over the Christmas. Fatigue could ruin a season.

  • Registered Users Posts: 535 ✭✭✭Hackers


    That has been fixed already, I can assure you :-)

    Haha Salah? :P utd cleanie will have you back on top in any case


  • Registered Users Posts: 535 ✭✭✭Hackers


    Indeed Salah, took him out when injured for Alli thinking he would drop 0.2 or 0.3. Overall did not lose much in terms of points but now have 0.5 less to play with budget wise!

    Business end of the season. Top 5 the money places, all very tight as to be expected :P

    Thread was quiet enough this season. Mustnt be too many regulars near the top. Hoping to consolidate 2nd myself rather than try something mad to nick top


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,043 ✭✭✭remoteboy


    Forgot this thread was here. Moved back up to fourth place but more concerned with not dropping out of top 5 than bothering the top 3.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,912 ✭✭✭kilburn


    Need a few differentials to close the 110 point gap to the leader

    Let's not rule anything out for what is usually the craziest GW of the season....
    I'm leading at the moment but played my wildcard last week and had an absolute nightmare of a DGW so now very nervously looking over my shoulder. Whatever way the points may fall tomorrow a big shout out to Zarquon

    Think I've held second just about. A couple of lads below me with PVA Robbo double up nearly burnt me. Could've nicked first until Palace got their goals


  • Registered Users Posts: 861 ✭✭✭tomwaits48


    I should have entered this!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,912 ✭✭✭kilburn


    Always next season !


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,043 ✭✭✭remoteboy


    So near and yet so far. Respectable 4th place finish. 98 (-4) saw me make up ground. Just not enough. 7 points separating 2nd and 4th. Congrats to the lads who finished above us and commiserations to those below. It’s been a slog of a season.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 254 ✭✭timbel


    Nearly caught 2nd and nearly got caught by 4th. Gotta be happy with 3rd. Nice run in to get back in the money and highest ever finish to boot.

    THat was me in 2nd. Robertson and PVA had me sweating. I couldn't believe my eyes, for them both to get 18pts. Lucky I had a decent cushion. Still €180 and €120 for yee so happy days. Congrats all

    I think you had overtaken me when Arnie scored in the 65th minute but it swung back in my favour a few minutes later when Zaha scored and then nearly straight away Burnley CS wipeout.
    Delighted with the win, nearly blew it but Zaha and PVA have been legends despite being safe for a few weeks. Enjoy the summer, looking forward to starting it all again come August

    Did we not agree to pay out top 5? There's a post from Kilburn on the previous page about it.

    Another long season has come to an end and as usual this was a super competitive league which went down to the final week to settle most of the prize spots, Zarquon would be proud.

    Respectable 31st mid table position for myself.

    1st Rodgeb 650
    2nd Stephenl15 300
    3rd Timbel 180
    4th Remoteboy 120
    5th Elefant 70

    Can you all drop me a pm with your payment details and we can settle up ASAP.

    We go again when the game is refreshed in July and Rodgeb can try to defend his title.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,940 ✭✭✭✭gormdubhgorm


    At the start of the season I was thinking I would get a similar rank to fifith place at the worst.

    But I am even miles off that 32nd place!
    I was thinking of not entering next year because I did so badly.
    But that will be the year I do well!
    haha

    Fair play to those at the top very consistent stuff.
    Oh and thanks to the fella who ran this I am sure it was hard work setting it up.

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.
