72 (-4). Finished outside the top 100k for the first time which pisses me off. Final rank of 108k. Chip usage cost me massively this season.

Muahahaha · 22-05-2022 7:16pm

Finished with 72 and a small green arrow to 22k. Happy with that, a fair improvement on 266k last season which was my first playing FPL. Really feel like I need a break from it now, its been a good season but Im glad it is over at the same time.

Father Hernandez · 22-05-2022 7:53pm

Finished GW38 72 points with 10 players and a -4

Will finish 80k OR, the goal was to make top 100k around Christmas when I was 1 million OR so definitely HEWT.

Attacked the last few GW's with risky moves but happyish with the OR. Mad season, looking forward to the next :)

73 points with 10 players and -4, Son you have been amazing since GW27, thank you sir. Glad of the break now, was a bit too intense there for last couple of weeks, finished round 30k

SkySter · 22-05-2022 9:09pm

Thanks Robbo you legend. That goal won me my mini-league by 3 points.

Finished with 76 for the game week and 5.6k overall. Happy with that as it seems to be getting tougher every year to get inside 10k.

See you all in August!

Chesty08 · 22-05-2022 9:36pm

Finished with Son & Mount -4 for Salah & Coutinho and brought me to 89 for the GW overall

Inside the top 3k OR and won all my ML’s

Delighted with how the season finished over

bantee · 22-05-2022 10:32pm

Thats unreal, very well done

bantee · 22-05-2022 10:33pm

Not sure if 66(-4) will bring me up a bit from 149k

Newbie20 · 22-05-2022 11:04pm

Started the day at 119k. 95 points takes me to 84k, best ever finish.

3 Spurs lads and Maddison did the heavy lifting.

Muahahaha · 22-05-2022 11:35pm

I see two Irish lads finished 5th and 6th in the world, incredible going

patmac · 23-05-2022 1:18am

Finished 1994 and won a few money leagues, beat season ever.

shmeee · 23-05-2022 8:43am

Only catching up now due to work commitments yesterday. Some cracking ranks above, well in lads.

80 points leaves me with a green an arrow up to 18.5k. Highest ever finish in the last 10 years playing and first time to break inside the top 100k. Between GW 15 and 18 I was inside the top 10k and then a few read arrows in a row made that dream fall away.

Overall chuffed, won 2 ML's and 2nd in one by 5 points, he made 30 transfers, I made 49.... That's 5 points easily there on the hits that didn't pay off.

The break will be nice and the time spent on twitter and YouTube will be reduced considerable over the next 3 months.

FPL Quinner was part of the Champions league comp here and finished 14th

Chesty08 · 23-05-2022 12:25pm

Just seen a thing on Twitter for Captaincy analysed.

I scored 718 overall on captaincy. Most on the Thread where high 700s & 800s

Even looking at that, that is close to 1/4 of my overall score.

Im obviously delighted with my OR finish but bloody hell it makes me feel like I’m 70-100+ shy on my captaincy picks

Be curious to know how everyone else in here done on captaincy?

SlickRic · 23-05-2022 1:54pm

32k in the end after a 77 in the final GW. happy enough after a dodgy middle of the season navigating the sheer volume of double and single gameweeks.

Son the hero in general for the last few GWs. punt on bringing in Mane and captaining him at least got a return.

Richarlison a legend for the last few GWs too. Villa and Coutinho, not so much (sold him for the final GW).

i've said before that I hope for a more normal season next season, but with the World Cup in December, I'm not sure how normal it will be. we'll see how it plays out.

well done on all the amazing ranks. amazing standard as always in here.

Wait a minute. I scored exact same, 718 from captain picks!

Chesty08 · 23-05-2022 3:24pm

Haha yes the exact same worst & best captaincy picks too ;)

724 was my captaincy points - 29% of OR.

Dennis the highlight when he got -2. Never again.

Cartman78 · 23-05-2022 3:40pm

Finished at 612K OR.....absolute sh1tshow of a season from start to finish...totally unworthy of analysis even 😂😂

Hopefully this forum survives the off season

Where was this captaincy analysis tool? There is a site http://www.fplretro.com/create that gives you loads of stats and analysis of your season but I cant seem to get it to work when I put in my FPL ID. Im keen to know my captaincy points and things like how many points I benched and how many hits I took. The above did it last year which is why I bookmarked it but it doesnt seem to be working this year.

Muahahaha · 23-05-2022 4:51pm

29% captaincy points would seem really good. I think I did okay on captaincy points but it was probably easier when Salah was perma captain for a large part of the season until he lost form and then Son banged a few mega hauls which I was on too. The elite level players all seemed to get on the recent KdB hat trick but I missed the boat on that one. Was on the Dennis -2 too but I think most of us were so it didnt hit rank too much. Still have to laugh at that one, an in form Dennis in a double GW versus two easier opponents and he goes and gets sent off.

Fitz* · 23-05-2022 6:55pm

Finished up the season at 25k which I'm pretty happy with overall, but with a tinge of regret as I was 13k a few weeks ago.

Won a few MLs too which is great! I won the Boards qualifying league too, so promotion has to be celebrated!

Great conversation and advice throughout the season here. Same again next year!

13k was my highest rank all season as well, I spent most of January at that rank and was 8-10 points off the top 10k for several weeks but never made it into it. Had a terrible April and was bounced out to 45k at one point before bringing it back down to 22k when chips got used. Was happy with that but jesus it is hard to get in the top 10k and stay there. Fair play to the lads on here that did it but Ive learnt to do it you really need to be making 80%+ of the 50-50 calls correctly, its that hard up at that level.

Not sure if I'll be playing yet next season, already there are a couple of people in money leagues saying they are not. Doesnt help that the gap between the top and bottom of the leagues was over 200 points so they lost interest.

Mr.Nice Guy · 23-05-2022 8:26pm

Ended up on 103k. Disappointed because I blew it the last 2 weeks. Looking forward to the next campaign all the same. Wondering how the World Cup will affect things...

Mr.Prodston · 23-05-2022 9:33pm

It all peaked in GW 5 when I was at 3k. Then the wheels fell off and ultimately found myself disinterested over winter where I hit 700k by GW30. Clawed my way back up to 231k and enjoyed the last few weeks, when it felt like I was doing a lot more right than wrong. If only I'd embraced James Maddison 4 weeks ago it could look a lot more spectacular.

I've got a habit of falling back in love with the game at this time of year, so looking forward to another false dawn next year!

I hope the FSA finds it's foothold again too. I've been more guilty than most for not posting, but I've still been reading. Hopefully we'll get a few more of the gang back after a break. This place is honestly great though!

Lemlin · 23-05-2022 9:37pm

Finished the season at 73k. My highest ranking was 44k after two GWs but then I went right down to 430k before making a late run to get back into the top 100k. Managed to pick up €110 in prize money so will be back next year.

I hope this forums survives. I don’t go to Twitter or any other sites for FPL.

The biggest swing for me was right after the TC Salah which got me up the ranks but I wanted to keep that momentum up as others froze on their chips. I went a big hit for Chelsea on their DGW & BB’d and followed that up with a wildcard straight away & jumped again over the weeks while everyone held their chips. Literally went from 60k OR to 3k OR in 2/3 weeks

I survived the No Son or KdB for the remainder of the season (I don’t know how) agsinst my gut and held on for 3k OR

I haven’t entered a Boards league in a while I keep missing them but I think you need to qualify or something!

See you all in a few months!
