Right, here we go. Post Europe snowflaking may affect the performance of your team, which as always may go up or down.
This week isn't full of top of the table clashes (MU v Spurs is... close) so it'll be good to see some good old fashioned proper stuff. Possibly.
Costa is showing 75% chance of injuring someone or himself. Origi and Oxlade-Chamberlain are the Scout's tips for the moment. Kane is back on form though, which will please our cat loving contingent

I'm predicting points flooding in from all directions this week - don't blame me if they don't!

I'm staying in the BatCave back offices this week, in an effort to keep my lurgy to myself. Doppel and Snorkel will attend to your every need, if they can bothered. Try asking for stuff just after meals...

I hear Bob Bradley's putting traffic cones in defence this weekend.
Can't see them in the player lists though. I think they would be a great transfer opportunity.

Sunderland in their Cheshire cat costumes again I see.
& rain's coming down at the Emirates. Wenger better get started on that zipper if he wants it done up before the end of the game

I know I've had a bad couple of weeks, but two points after the first round of games?? That must be some kind of record. At least the Pars won.

We really need a wooden spoon award

You can't have the crown, jersey AND spoon!

Mmmmmwhahahahha another terrible week!!!! What's up with Austin? He was Ok when I checked my team in the week. What's with Deeney? 100 goal-itis?
Pear-shaped nonsense.

I'm a bit narked at Snodgrass
Not just as it stole the 3 points from Palace, but got points docked from Dann too.

48 points so far with a (unfortunately necessary) -8 to be applied (so the FPL site had LIED to me Jo.... ) Zaha turned out to be a valuable additon with 16 points. i called the wrong backline with daniels' 10 points squandering on the bench but i will not be the only manager to wish jamie vardy was still in his team. so-so, so far...

I wonder if JoMo's instructions to Foullaini today were along the lines of, "Don't go anywhere near the penalty area!"

& he's only gone & dedicated the win to him

Our football community here should be aware that there is a new Hillsborough documentary on ITV at 10.40pm on Monday 12th Dec, I think STV show it a wee bit later.

Defo one to miss last orders for.

Good shout, thanks

So a good week overall for me, should be really, really pleased but leaving 26 points sat on the bench does grate a little. Still onwards and up as we roll ever closer to the Chrissy footie bonanza.

Also thouroughly enjoyed The Mighty Rams thrash the Reds yesterday.

Just trawling through the footy news, in amongst the tedious european draws, & stumbled on this weekend's fixtures summed up in tweets

up in all leauges except H2H where i notice theyve got my score wrong- it says 49 pts and i scored 57...unless my -8 points has been a) applied twice or b) not applied in the main big hair league.

The -points shouldn't get lopped off the total score until the following game week

Evening everyone. This is one of those weeks where IGM needs to hold their heads and groan... we're used to winning by big margins, not getting stuffed! Have a dekko at the tables:


This is all the fault of the snowflakes, of course. Not many of our lovelies did the biz (for our, read my) and how many of you have Vardy? That was a quite delightful result - not that I have anything against Man City, but I do enjoy that sort of thing

The yellow jersey remains firmly on Nikolas' shoulders. Will it ever come off? I hope it gets a Christmas wash..

The Big Shout Out goes to Atletico Denbigh with a whopping 71 points. He's the one with Vardy!

Bromance is still blossoming between Damage Dunfermline and Toluca Lake FC under that Golden Crown. Bless. Another one each again, so you don't stretch the metal.


The Batcave will welcome you all back over Christmas, so please place your buffet order. Pista is bringing the beer, Lee is bringing the pick me ups, and I'm being Delia.
Just because I know you want me to.

Wooohooo!
Level on points
Mwahahahaha
Well played everyone & thanks once again for hosting the week

Just kicked off GW16 & getting the beers cooled. There might be sherry too. Someone brought it weeks ago & no-one's opened it yet .

so the H2H is the one thats wrong then? there has to be an error in one of them as one says 57pts and the other says 49. also, i just checked and my ooponent in H2H shows the same GW points as he does in the classic...

EDIT: on further scrutiny i realise whats happened: the H2H (sensibly) shows the adjusted score so as to determine the winner between the drawn teams that week. the classic shows the unadjusted score, meaning effectively that that table is irrelevant as regards the current state of affairs.

Phew. Just spent the last 20 minutes crawling through all the lookups we made to make sure we didn't lose anyone's points.
The MkII classic league's a doddle to calculate. The MkII H2H is a bit of a nailbiter, but we think we have it sussed.
But if there is a muff up somewhere, it's good to know. A pencil & a quill can fix it

Happy to take two wins in both H2H leagues this week. Hope will do the same next one

Ooo what did I win a crown for??? According to the FPL site I was extraordinarily ordinary this week, again, 40 odd measly points and nowhere in the leagues. Thanks like, but it's a knocking bet someone deserves / earned it more than me!
