82 on the FH to bring me inside the top 10k for the first time this season, so very happy with that. Going with 4 at the back served me well as well as going with Salah as captain.

FF always leaves you wanting more though! Annoyed Salah didn't get any bonus, particularly with that chance at the end - a goal or assist there would've been worth a lot of points.

Off topic slightly, but was poking around some of the teams around me in some of the money leagues. Anyone know which Boards user has the team "The Greens" (top of most of the boards money leagues)? Some seriously impressive and consistent ORs there in their season history, must be one of the all time type FF players, or at least one of Ireland's best.

Then El Tel I saw finished 8th in 15/16! Got to be the highest Boards finish ever right? I may not have been very active on the forum that year but were people following his quest for glory? Presumably he might have been in with a shot to win it at some point?

The Greens is Dearg81. He’s a seasoned veteran as they say.

Yeah it's a very impressive run of scores from Dearg81, unbelievable consistency, not a single stinker of a season and several very high finished including a 25th place. ON course for another very high finish this season.

Not feeling very confident of toppling his supremacy after seeing that record!

Watched it with great interest. It was a fantastic run. A poster I always pay attention to, usually has a slightly different slant on the template.

Lassyk is another to watch out for, lurks more than posts but also has some serious pedigree.

I came 250th in the world a few years ago, only money league i was in had dearg81 in it so still didnt win it! Still annoyed to this day as i was 125 going into last gw but had to gamble to try catch him. If i hadnt i would have finished top 100

came 177th in the world a few years back.

For last 10 years, i've had an average finishing position of around 42k, which isn't bad over that stretch.

Southampton away is always a bogey fixture for Arsenal, Ings could do well tonight.

Sarr nearly assist. Damn welbeck

Scorpion Sting

Nketiah goal from a McCarthy howler.

Nketiah goal

That's not how you spell Aubam

Burnley should have scored. Vydra hits post

ScummyMan

It's nice to be able to rely on a sub keeper like McCarthy when someone like Henderson is unavailable....

FFS I should have just saved the cash and gone with a non playing option

Foden not in City squad - picked up a knock Monday night.

Dearg81

Is anyone brave enough to sit through Burnley vs Watford?

Or stupid enough...I'm watching it because I own Sarr. Poor game. Burnley have had the better chances.

Cathcart and Doucouré replacing Kabasele and Cleverley.

Southampton also made two changes; Long and Walker-Peters on for Obafemi and Valery.

Scorpion Sting

Saka booked.
