Yup. won 3 lost 3 I think. Mid Table M...
I really want to see something happen though, not just putting in safe solid points on the board stuff.

Safe solid points are a Good Thing in the pot-luck orientated world of fantasy football, keep 'em coming!

I got a message from Ems last night who is on her way to spend the festive season with Mr Strange's folks asking if I could post the scores on the doors. I said no....... Not really, I said I would, so here comes.....
You paying attention at the back?
Good.

It was a close run thing in the FPL classic, but with a 12 point margin, the EIB snatched the win to take them 30 points ahead overall.

Just as Chelski still top the premier tree, Nikolas Vitus Lagartija's Damage Dunfermline once again take the

The

this week goes to eastmidswhizzkid's Eastmids Whizzkids with a whopping 72 points

The classic table looks a bit like this..

In the H2H, the IGM grabbed a hard fought 3 point win to nudge them ahead overall

This week, the

settles with Planet Dave's Toluca Lake United who secured a total of 42 points

& going into the xmas weekend, the table looks like this (just imagine it with glitter & snow okay?)

Well played again everyone & thanks for hosting the GW

I'll be back with a linky to GW18 asap

edit: GW18 is now up & running

Given that the leagues on the FPL site are wrong, would there be any chance of the correct one being posted so we know what's what? I appreciate that this is extra ballache for you guys but it's proper annoying not having a clue what the score actually is. Just a thought, feel free to say 'nah that'd be a total ballache, work it out yerselves using this handy calculation...'.

Good luck over the Xmas madness everyone. Let's enjoy watching the EIB crumble under the weight of expectation that comes with being top at xmas, hehe.

Huge huge thanks to Pista and Emily S for keeping a breached ship afloat, cheers

I'll have a go Dave.
The classic league is correct, so it's just the H2H that's confusing a lot of folks.
I'll see if I can make a copy & remove real names.

23 Dec 2016, 13:05

Righto, here's the H2H table sorted into order.
What we had to do is take the MKII table & add those scores to the scores from GW11 (our baseline).

bearskin (Oliver's Army) was able to let us have his scores as of GW11 so we could slot him in & then nobody loses any points they had previously made

The classic table is correct, as all teams had been in one league or another since the start of the season, so no need for any extra calculations there

GOD · 23 Dec 2016, 13:08

I should have 11,287 points, I beat everybody 27-0

Planet Dave · 23 Dec 2016, 14:30

Cheers Steve

Team name of the season has to go to Satan Orient

Sheeeesh hope Paul won't see that, he already thinks he's funnier than me.

AVERAGE has been on a terrible run of late, having been second in the table at one point, looking like the FPL equivalent of the riderless horse that ghosts up to win the Grand National.

I'm playing in a predictor league this season & we organised a cup competition. To make up numbers we have "blanks" in the fixtures lists (similar to AVERAGE).
Thing is with the predictor league, you can score negative points depending on how off whack your predictions are. The blanks are effectively players with randomly generated predictions.
We're down to the last 8 at the moment from about 3 dozen & one "blank" is still in it!

Cheers, Steve. Has been a hectic week, but am safe in the bosom of the inlaws.

That's some top notch poetry right there!

Not gonna be anywhere near a PC tomorrow so picking my team today and hoping none of them cry off between now and Monday. A belligerent voice in the ether would no doubt prophesy disaster

@GOD - couldn't possibly comment cos I know neither of you, but what's your team called, we can take it from there....

GOD · 24 Dec 2016, 17:06

I'm GOD, they are all my teams!!
