The Scoreboard – Gameweek 38 – Tuesday

I'll be doing this with friends over the Euros, predictions game. Great fun. Did it for World Cup 2014.

http://officetemplate.net/euro-2016-schedule-scoresheet-and-pool-templates.html

Allows for 15 players (I think you can pay for an upgraded template). Send participants the 'Euro 16 Scoresheet and Schedule' template and get them to fill in their predictions for the group stages. You download the Office pool template and enter the players names and their predictions. Once the games are complete you just tap in the correct scores. I send out updates with a copy paste of the leaderboard by email after each round. Of course you need to collect predictions from participants for each round of knockouts once they start too.

There was some discussion that the scores for predicting right in the knockouts were too heavily weighted compared to the group stages.

A brilliant season indeed, thanks FFScout, specially in the latter half of the season
& ofcourse with the help of FFScout, 2015/16 became a nice 'profitable' season 😀 (Rollin them in) 😉
Finished at 15,268

Any thoughts on this euro team?

2011/12 - 274244 Overall
Some stuff inbetween (Wish I could delete the seasons which I give up on from my record)

2015/16 - 41,129 Overall

My second COMPLETE season and it isn't a bad one. ML's smashed and smashed my target for a Top100k finish.

Would Rooney the mid interest you lot in fpl?

With only Smalling playing last night I was worried about dropping out the top 100

Still finished 98 OR 🙂

pretty lucky end to my season - brought in Giroud and made him captain & got in Mane - 75 points. Rival had de Gea and Smalling! I just nicked the league by 5 points...

Lost one of my nonimportant ml,s by 4 points. Had ddg and smalling, and rival has valencia, what a game 🙂

Final rank 903, I never thought I'd be anywhere near top 1,000 given horrendous start, thanks to all for sage advice and patience with my questions!

OR 2429 beating previous best of 2545 in 2008/09. Only failed to break the top 20k once in past 8 seasons, pretty happy with that.

Had deGea and lost my ML on trasfers made... 49 vs 41. Not cool. Still my best season ever.

good season:

6.1K finish

Thanks everyone.

11/12: 6061
12/13: 34
13/14: 2864
14/15: 12311
15/16: 6148

guess which season I got married in?

Finished in 3k and 95 in India! Won all my ML

Couldn't have been possible without ffs! Thanks a lot mates.!!

Cheers!

Much love!

Achieved an OR of 12k. Won my cash ML by a distance. Best finish in four seasons. Stoked! Thank you for all the help!!

Peaked just at the right time and finished 6934, thanks all at FFS it's been a challenging year with the chip introduction but I think we played them extremely well.

The quest for a top 1000 finish continues....

2012/13 OR: 120,462
2013/14 OR: 59,798
2014/15 OR: 17,409
2015/16 OR: 4,429

Getting better year by year. Thanks FFS community!

LoL! Just seen Smalling scoring og. What a season end.

Gw1 Walcott (c) 2 pointter and now this 😀

I lost my h2h final for the second time in a row. 🙁
I'm thinking I'm related to Wenger....haha

Last season was a clear difference in final. It's was ok for me.
But yesterday Smalling's own goal cost me h2h victory (De Gea & Smalling owner). I feel disappointed.

My OR is 32k. This is little a bit better than last season (35k). Target was top 10k.
Next season I have to do my homework better.

Rank dropped overnight. Damn Smalling. 347 OR.
First time playing the game too. Casual 😀 haha

I won my mini league by 9 points, never had a lead of more than 50 points, at one point was 100 points behind.

In the mid twenties there was four weeks where i had nearly 20 points on the bench.

Too many transfers in the final four weeks often for players who would get rotated or injured by the following gameweek meant i missed out on my personal target of 2,000 points by 17.

Goal for next year is to keep the wildcard back for the double gameweek and minorly make changes between say 20 and 34.

That probably would have been enough this season to cross over 2,000 points as my 148 came at the cost of a -32.

14/15 - 1.917
15/16 - 1.925

Anyone finished twice on the same rank? After last nights update I think that's possible 😆

2010/11 - 621,243
2011/12 - 78,730
2012/13 - 114,521
2013/14 - 49,585
2014/15 - 44,463
2015/16 - 4,300

Target was to finish in top 20k. Very pleased with final rank.

So it seems like my fantasy football abilities are growing with every year and I guess that's what it's all about.(2014 is when I started using this site 🙂 )

2011/12 1443565
2012/13 726769
2013/14 425295
2014/15 61087
2015/16. 3154

Top 100 next season?

Thanks to the guys who persuaded me not to wait to TC Sanchez in gw38 (went for Payet in DGW) I scraped through on my 3rd ML by 9 points having only led from last week! Respectable 7k finish but just a bit of a meh feeling after a crappy last week with Smalling capping it off (not literally). Cheers

Wanted to thank everyone for their advise and discussion - a great site!
Finished this year with a 688 OR (feeling pretty happy with myself).
Thanks again guys and I can't wait for next year.

Final position 1,284 which is my bet ever, but strangely diappointing as I feel I should easily have finished in the top 1k ...... A poor WC in GW33 largely to blame ....

22 2 4 6 18 23 7 20 11 10 15

Today, we can do something special. 🙂

Final OR this season 436,188....I am disappointed but I was hovering in the 1m rank range till GW28, so not bad from that perspective!

So, we're the new chips good or bad? I think they helped me, but I do wonder if it just increases the 'luck' factor of selecting it at a specific time.

Im concerned it just an extension of the 'captain' option - how many casual players can have fairly average teams but still rise high due to a good captain choice? Is it luck or a well determined selection (had this conversation many times down the pub)

We all get the same chips and captain choices, so it's a level playing field, but it would be interesting to see what the points would be without any of them (you can't get double goals for a selected player in the real game after all)

11,374

Spent the first 36 gamweeks outside the top 10k

Got in on 37 and fell straight back out
