Mark Our end of season awards polls come to an end with the voting in the forwards category. The poll is now live on the frontpage and visitors can now cast two votes for the strikers who had the biggest influence on our Fantasy seasons.
Voting will close on this in a couple of days with our team of the season review articles following very soon.
Repost in current forum...
In “it’s tough at the top” news, the final results for the ‘Top 1000 ANY season’ league are sobering to say the least – there were 37 managers in the league this season and NO-ONE FINISHED IN THE TOP 1000 THIS SEASON!!
http://fantasy.premierleague.c.....mc?id=6230
Congrats to Garath Rees who won the league, finishing 1,478 overall.
The league includes many current and former FFS celebs, e.g. Jamesiep (19th), RafaMC (17th), Mandahammer (13th), Da Beez (14th), league admin P Mowbray (37th), Pure Olivia (8th) and jms (4th). I came in a respectable 12th which makes me feel a bit better about failing my objective this season of finishing top 5K.

Shows how hard it is. I'm gonna have a go at that league next season if I may
ah- I was wondering who ran that league, would have been good to have nailed it
How do I get that (c) and subs % thing? And what does it all mean?
Yours are: # (c)=243/453 53.6% Bench=242 11%
The total of your highest scoring player each GW was 453 points. Your captain choices scored 243, which is 53.6% of 453. If your captain choices had been perfect you would have scored an extra 420 points ((2 x (453-243)).
Your bench players scored 242 points, which was 11% of your squad's total score of 2182 (2086 net + 96 hits).
I know this will be shot down by everyone but.....
Am I the only one who thinks that Ryan Giggs taking out an injunction actually shows that he's still a more decent person than most footballers. At least he tried to protect his family and his wife...
*If it turns out his family/wife didn't want the injunction then of course I'll admit I'm wrong.
Maybe......But I'm sure he was trying to protect more than just his wife and kids.
Quite possibly, but as I said, if his family asked him to take the injunction out then all credit to him.
Okay maybe not quite credit but you know what I mean 😉
Without risking the wrath of Jamsiep from his favourite quote.
But he doesn't seem like the kind of guy that would take out the injunction to protect his image, like you say, more to protect his family.
But at the end of the day he shouldn't have cheated in the first place, so I guess that makes him that kind of guy.
Oh yeah, he definitely took it out to protect his wife, what a top chap. I bet she was so pleased that he was that thoughtful that she accepted it as her birthday present. 🙄
So you think his wife and kids would have enjoyed the press scrutiny that would have come with this story? 🙄
This isnt your best 20min Tommy.
I'm shocked that you don't agree with me..... *sarcastic*
To be fair, your point is a truly terrible one.
This would be the main thing Tommy.
If you think my point is that I support in any way what Ryan Giggs did (in terms of having an affair) then you're wrong.
All I'm saying is that IF it turns out his family supported Giggs taking out the injunction (his wife in particular) then how can you blame him for not taking one out?
No i know your not supporting his intial actions
Its the assumption of a noble deed based on nothing which is naive
Even more so when all the facts are wayed up to the contrary.
Whether you can blame him for the injunction or not, it still doesn't show in any way that he's more decent than most footballers.
Ridiculous argument.
You shouldnt have made the point in the first place.
I dont see how you can (well i suppose as he is a United player?)when there is nothing to say its true and the little we know points in the opposite direction
If you're not even going to read my posts I can't really be bothered with this.
http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2011/05/23/end-of-season-awards-%E2%80%93-forwards-voting-now-open/comment-page-1/#comment-1682451
(In all fairness I tend to skim over your's more often than not)
You dont need to defend everything with regards United Demi.
Take the man as his actions
Great footballer and cheater.
No amount of protecting his family nonsense is worth any time
If anything he was probably protecting his well earned public image as he is soon to retire and has his finger in a few PR pies.
The idea the injunction was for his family is very naive
Of course not Tommy, but your point is that having taken an injunction out makes him more decent than the many many footballers who have brought up families without having an affair, telling her that she's the love of his life and then making sure as best he can that no one ever finds out. Unless I've badly misinterpreted:
"Am I the only one who thinks that Ryan Giggs taking out an injunction actually shows that he’s still a more decent person than most footballers. At least he tried to protect his family and his wife…"
Yeah, I probably should have said more decent than most footballers in his situation 😳
Agreed
Some convulted thinking going on above.
It is interesting to note how far a jersey can go to blur opinions.
Nothing to do with the fact he's a Man Utd player.
Your saying your view isnt tainted by the fact you had his gravatar parading around here for 2 weeks
Good one
So tell me how you can come to this view?
Good rebuttal.
Didn't even see that you had replied. Sorry I don't sit refreshing every second to see your posts.
His image up until now has been clean, never in the papers before, other than for good reasons (that I can recall). It would be the same for say Alan Shearer (I can't be arsed thinking of every player with a clean image who isn't a United player.
Having a clean image does not imply he would protect his family after cheating on them.
I dont see how you can make this assumption
Maybe not, but it is more likely that someone who has never been in any "trouble" before would try and protect their family than someone who has been in "trouble".
But at the end of the day I never said this is what he was doing. In fact I said

Anyway. Whatever your next point is, you win, I'm off to play some xbox.
I think he is a complete idiot and all this injunction/suing twitter lark is dragging something on and making it MORE public.
If the story had come out 4 or 5 weeks ago about his affair, we would have all forgotten about it after 4 or 5 days.
THIS now is just ridiculous!!
Agreed on that- silly to think he'd be able to keep it quiet in the age of twitter etc.
I think it may be time for me to take a break from this site, not sure i can take any more from delusional Utd fans.
Hopefully when I come back Jose will be back at Chelsea, Torres will be back in Spain somewhere and normal service will be resumed!
Indeed. The timing of it is absolutely disastrous considering next saturday.
He even looked pissed off getting his medal with his name being called out and the cameras following him during celebrations.
Brought it on himself
He will still get it.
You forget the monarchy have more affairs than any normal person. They even have offical rules and codes on how to carry them out
If anything it will move him up the list
Giggs was the LAST premier player I would`ve suggested when the story 1st came out ......... he has really let his squeaky clean image down .
Many thank to numerous advices here helping me involve top 1k in my 2nd year fpl term.
I am not serious but wanna get my captain and bench %.
Where can I work it out quickly?
# (c)=282/486 58% Bench=220 9.4%
Test test. This is mine. And those 9.4 bench points means that I have those points on my bench in total or that is the difference from bench and actually played players?
Total points on the bench, and then %age of your overall score. Mine is shocking!!
yeah I got it right when I played 3 5 2 second part and always played carroll in the first half. People seems to forget that one of the attacking players always need to be benched.
Obama is very impressive...polished customer..Enda Kenny was a fuc*ng embarrassment...shouting and roaring like a drunken Irishman while GAA president Kelly looks on and claps....no wonder we're f*cked as a nation ,still clinging onto the humped-out dream of the parish and the GAA.
Things will never change.
Although Enda is a vast improvement of anyone we have had in the past 20 years. But thats not saying much.
I find it funny how entrenched people can be to defend this small parish ethos (having come from one myself) without seeing what a massive disadvantage it is today when the world is about converging into 1 massive social envirnoment. Yet Ireland is built around parish v parish.
Rant over 🙂
Agree about Enda...he's a nice guy and I'm convinced he's trustworthy but he has very little charm ...it's like chalk and cheese on that stage there..
Even our celebrations when someone is elected is prehistoric, grown men,apparently our representatives, acting like an under 8 team who've won a match.
As you were saying about Tubridy, Ireland is still parish and family oriented, it's who you know, not what you're capable of.
Compare this with London or the States and the abundance of opportunities there, purely based on your skills and attributes...If I didn't have a job I'd be gone out of here in a second.
Im glad im out of there. (though il be back for sometime in the summer)
Its nice to view the place from the outside. I had a chat last week with a few europeans discussing the cultures etc.
The most revealing thing was to realise all the years I was forced to learn Irish, Hour after Hour year after year while Swedish, Italien, Germans etc were learing a second european language - giving them the distinct advantage in the present age of being able to diverge into many different european or other countries.
Big lot of good those thousands of hours learning peig did.
Ireland will have no hope in the modern world until the ideals of the past which wanted us a one world of our own away from the rest are removed.
Its hard not to be embarrassed by alot of what is going on in Ireland outside of the sports
Devastating. Lead my main mini-league 34 or so of the 38 GW's this season, to end up finishing 2 points behind the leader.
I think it ultimately came down to him having Vidic, and me persisting with Lolarov for the last 6 weeks or so.
Gutted. Highest ever overall rank by a mile too.
My decision to have Lescott, instead Kolarov brought me 40 points swing I think. But Lolarov was rotation threat, whenever he started City conceded cause he is defensive liabilty and I know that Lescott was fantasy point machine, he scored 200 in pts one season and Kolarov was unproven bandwagon. So it was no brainer for me.
Congratulation on your rank btw.
Well done Daniel 26th overall, well played Sir!
cheers declan
Hey Daniel, after resisting asking for so long, now curiosity has got the better of me. Can you do my captain%?
Hi, can somebody re-greese me now the season is over??
Think my bench should be the same score but lower %age now
ONE JONNY REESON
THERES ONLY ONE JONNY REESON
Wrong. There's 6 according to http://www.yournotme.com/
He did Bedford proud last season ............
This is ever so slightly amusing:
http://twitpic.com/51k8cx/full
😆
Not trying to brag guys, but Obama flew over my house 😉
Great speech, great week for Ireland.
It wont do much for the country - dont let the media convince you otherwise.
It gave us a lift, and certainly portrayed us very positively to Europe, the UK and the US. Whether the predicted tourism revenue will come or not, I dunno, but it hasn't done the country any harm.
A lift in spirit isnt worth much beyond the personal
Europe, Uk and everyone with eyes knows what we and every country is like in this age.
Its not like 50 years ago when besides offical visits no foreign media and cameras were in the country. So state visits of other dignateries did do wonders for revenue and publicity.
If anything stupid statements like this to foriegn media
"Richard Wallace, 49, a farmer, said the visit would help town's economy by pumping in tourst dollars: "That's what it's all about."
may turn people off coming.
I like that he came as we need to engage with other countries so we can have so say in international affairs and actually eventually have some form of professional reputation.
People jumping around and drinking Guiness is not as good for the country as it seems.
Lets see if Obama under the direction of Cameron sits around a fire with a pipe and drinks some tea as would be a stereotypical view of british culture 100 years ago. He wont for obvious reasons - but every foreign President must be brought to have a pint in Ireland based on some dated view of Irish people which many think is a good thing
The world moves on. Ireland stays the same
Looking at the post at the top it looks like it is very, very difficult to repeat a top 1000 finish.
Does this mean my breakthrough season, 430th isnt down to improved skill but the result of a lucky run? Am i destined to sink back to the 10-15k mark next year?
no mate if you make effort u'l be top 2-3k at least IMO
see it as a challenge to do it again, no reason why u shouldnt
Can see it will be tough , for example if two weeks ago Hangeland hadnt scored two goals then top 1000 would of been out of reach , only played him because kolorov and co didnt play.
Many such turning points during the year, in hindsight we look back and see skill when in reality maybe it was just the equivilent of tossing a coin and getting ten heads in a row
I came 630th with a team that was thrust into my care after the person ragequit after gameweek 1 after coming top 1000 last year. The sad thing is, I used this other team to get the alternatives to players I actually wanted on my proper team (I picked Lescott and Toure in it rather than my own selection of Kolarov and Silva)
Stupid season.
If luck falls on your side, then no. But if you're normal like the rest of the FPL mortals, then yes 😉
I know this will be shot down by everyone but…..
Am I the only one who thinks that Ashley Cole shagging loads of women while married to Cheryl shows that he’s still a more decent person than most footballers, as he probably wasn't in love with any of them? While a certain other top player who had an affair told the mistress she was the love of his life. At least Cole didn't lead them on and make them think there was a future in the relationship...
I'm new to ffs, only joined a couple of weeks ago, and i can see it helping me improve greatly on my fairly average rank this year (first season mind..)
So, yeah, was wondering what this bench and captain % thing is all about?? :S Can someone do it for me please, would be much appreciated 🙂
They're both pretty useless statistics, I wouldn't look into them too much!
Yeah, seems that way, i'd just be interested to know really.
# (c)=230/422 54.5% Bench=258 12.2%
The higher the (c)% the better, and the lower the Bench % the better. Hope you enjoyed your first season 🙂
Right, not done too badly on that stat then, cheers Demi 🙂
Yeah, been good thanks, i'll certainly be back next year trying to challenge you lot, probably in vain 😛 Can't believe i started the season with Kolarov, biggest mistake ever! haha.
haha, well i had Boselli too. Double the heartache. Lessons learned for next season definitely.
I agree. I didn't even figure mine out, although I have run the numbers for others. The script contains other add ons that are much more useful. I think someone posted the script above. Requires greasemonkey add on.
I think the (c) one is useful, but it was pretty obvious I couldnt pick a captain.
The bench score and % boils down to whether you like a balanced team, or cheapy non players. I think you can see which i went for?!!
Depends on your rank. The nearer you are to the top 100 overall, the less rare they are
Does the OOP strategy work?
Just been looking through the points per game that defenders have made , suprising that the likes of Coleman , Kolorov , Elmouhamedy are low down the list.
Everyone chasing these OOP players but reality is that they are outscored by the solid defenders who have an eye for goal , like Huth , Hangeland , alex etc
Yes, a fpl related post!
I agree, the OOP defenders have all been largely bloody useless. I'll be looking for the new Baines and Vidic next year. Defenders who are guaranteed to play and who might chip in with the odd goal or assist. Verm for Arsenal is surely a good bet considering his price should drop.
Kolarov had a good PPG in the few games he played in midfield I think! Overall I think defenders playing OOP struggle because:
1. They tend to be classic wingers - classic wingers are rarely great prospects in FPL.
2. Elmohamady and Coleman were hurt by plenty of substitute appearances draggning down their PPG
I agree that playing 90 minutes every week is a better thing than being OOP (defence->mid). Strikers classed as midfielders are still great, see Ronaldo for example.
In protest to point 1. Garg, I present to you Antonio Valencia...
Forgive my ignorance if wrong but were Ronaldo and Nani not "classic" wingers?
Ronaldo was a striker and Nani is perhaps a combination, he cuts inside a lot which is more modern. With classic I meant wingers doing what wingers were doing 20 years ago, beating their man and crossing. It's what Coleman and Elmo does.
No..classic wingers are more like 90's Giggs, Kanchelskis, Gillespie....rigidly stick to the sidelines with thier only aim to skin people and send in crosses...Ronaldo had more freedom although he was very wingerish in his first game against Bolton for the mancs
The other argument against the OOPs is that they seem to suffer higher rates of rotation (kolorov , coleman , elmo)
Either that or they stop playing in midfield and just become rubbish defenders .
Then you have to get rid of them and waste transfers.
Next season am going with solid at the back . Players you can just leave there , then transfers can be concentrated where they count
True, that was my "strategy" 2 years ago when I still played as a noob (ie without this site, price changes, fixtures etc.) and had Vermaelen, Hangeland, Nelsen, Carragher ( 🙂 )...
I'm a bit of a sucker for big money centre backs in FPL myself too Waldaz. Had to stay away from them this season as they were not great but in my first season I played with a back five of Carvalho, Gallas, Ferdinand, Carragher and someone else. It was great.
Anyone else have, what seems like glitches in the comments and replies recently? With later replies going above earlier ones?
Aguero going to Real Madrid. Shame, would have liked to have seen him in the prem. All the best players going to real and barca, bit crap really..
A quick tactical report on the everton win against chelsea yesterday
http://theexecutionersbong.wordpress.com/2011/05/23/everton-1-0-chelsea-tactical-report/
So madrid have signed Sahin, Aguero (most likely) Antilop and ?
Still not buying any defenders...
You dont need new defenders when 8 of your 11 are defenders 🙂
Aguero!?
They've bought Callegon aswell, yet another attacking mid.
Ddin't think Atletico would sell him to Real.
u can still get 3/1 that aguero goes to real madrid so its not that likely as bookies r usually pretty spot on
winger 🙂
De Gea and Aguero leaving Ath. Madrid, doesnt look too good for them next season!
It's a shame that post-Valencia nobody's really come close to challenging the big two in La Liga....
I might be wrong on this but they're probably in a bad financial situation from trying to keep up with the big two. Like Valencia.
Can't believe Valencia ever won the league! Their stadium's in worse shape than Blackpool's!
It is? I had no idea about that. Thought it was one of the best stadiums in Spain.
I was there discussing a transfer during the summer, may have done a little damage, rows between seats arent very wide.
Just after feeding that c*nt to the dogs.
Yeah I've been there, (talking about the old one, not sure if they've moved yet).
It had tonnes of crumbling concrete and was just generaly pretty ranshackle.
Although in fairness, I can only really copare it with two other Spanish stadiums I've been to and one as the Nou Camp! 😛
Evening, gents.
As a bit of a technophobe, could someone kindly, er, grease my team?
id=263268
george elokobi is going back to cameroon this summer and having a party. nothing special, BUT he's bought 2 cows which he's bringing to the party 😆
I'm still a bit gutted about the last two gameweeks. Just ran out of luck/logic on the final stretch.
true but not a crap overall eh! Next season will be here soon....
Although the few days wait when you are SURE the had restarted by this time last yr...
and then the last week before prem starts again are always long...
Not long after that work kicks in again and I cant spend any time thinking about it! haha
Hope you break top 100 next yr
Rooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..........
Lost my league by 4 pts Walcott is getting it
when does the new fpl season start exactly... 🙁
No one knows. In the past it has been around July 7-12th. There will likely be no advance warning.
Its going to be a long June..
Last year, the World Cup filled the down time. Women's World Cup anyone?
Yep! I'm supporting Sweden.
