The Scoreboard – Gameweek 38 – Tuesday

All these impressive ranks (granted you're the only ones bothering to post) has led me to decide to give OR priority next season, none of this Bolasie tc rubbish. Bookmark this, there will be a Rhino on the charge 😛

Smalling OG costing me top 10k by 300 places is disheartening but fair amount of money won in cash leagues so there's silver lining I guess!

Who has managed a really good finish despite a terrible start?

I did alright... from 2.4m GW2 to finish top 25k.

FPL 2015-2016: Won by the Smalling of margins.........

I lost my ML by one point on this, amazing finale! What strapline would you use to some up your mini league?

Finished with an overall rank of 73,706. Always aim to finish top 25K but after the start I got off to this year (didn't crack the top million until gameweek 7) I revised that and aimed for top 100K. Broke into it last week at the same time as I went top of my minileague so overall, pleased with my finish. Like everyone else, thanks to all here for the invaluable advice, not that I always take it but yeah...

See you all next season.

49th overall. Very happy. Still annoyed with Smalling though! Looking forward to the HOF update, as I came 121st last year...

I won my fifteen year mini league by 8 points
Couldn't believe it
Took a -8 for mane ozil tadic in
I was fifth since Xmas
Trading for hits and value gains for the first half of the season has helped me rise from the ashes year after year
Stick to yr guns and remember that being 100 points behind is never a reason to punt

Can you change your team name in the Euro fantasy game?

YESS! Finished within 10k, due to Rashford my saviour.
Thanks everyone on here for tips throught this season

Thanks for any help given!

Normally I avoid taking hit and only take a total of -16 hit throughout the season, but this year I took a different approach and took hits whenever I felt like, which didn't work for me.

So do you guys prefer taking hit or not?

Rafa verbally commits to Newcastle, Daniel Agger first signing

Saw a lot of posts in recent weeks about different chips etc and just wanted to throw my idea in the mix. In my head it's an exciting idea but what do I know!

So, the idea simply is....an extra point awarded for an away goal scored. For example 5 for a forward, 6 for a midfielder maybe even 7 for a defender. I could see this kind of rule really influencing our decisions on which players to transfer in and even captain each week although it would make the game a bit tougher and more of a head scratcher I'm sure.

What do people think?

A Smalling last second OG typifies my season this year.

Anyone elses app playing up? Had a problem with it since the weekend.

Just logged on this morning to find out Smalling scoreed a last minute own goal. Well, what a terrible final game week, just 28 points. But to be fair its been a great season, OR 4366.

As I'd never finished inside the top 100k ever I set myself the seemingly fantastical target of a top 10k finish this season, with the help of this site I placed 7624th.
Big thanks to the team running Fantasy football scout and the myriad contributors for the stats and opinions it has been really good fun.
Looking forward now to the Euros and next season.
Thanks again

Morning all!

How were the final ranks?

92k here after the Smalling O.G last night and autosubs. Not the greatest finish I've ever had but won some money at least 🙂

Won 2/3 mini leagues my captain of Sanchez over vice giroud stopped it from being 3/3 kind of annoyed but oh well

As a perennial slow starter, a few things I learned this season :

1. This game is a marathon in the truest sense. A high-percentage few-point gains by smart decisions is always better in the long run than low-percentage high-point punts. You have 37 chances to slowly but surely gain on your ranking and rivals.

2. Statistics are good, but nothing can replace your own two eyes. If you can watch the games (or at least highlights), then do it. You can tell so much about a player's state of mind from reading his body language during a game.

3. Bandwagonning is nothing to be ashamed of, provided you've done your homework about that player. Pride has nothing to do with points.

4. When your OR is still low, pay attention to the player ownerships of the top 10k and model your team around it. At least you will be doing as good/as bad as them.

Cheers

My euro team currently, playing a 5-2-3 formation:

------------------------- Patricio ------------------------
Alba // Hummels // Alderweireld // Kosc // Cahill
------------------ Perisic // 7.5m Mid ------------------
------------ Bale // Griezmann // Muller --------------

Bench: Lopes --- Altintop // Bonaventura // Rafa Silva

Does this look fine?
What other 7.5m Mid should I go for?
Should I Downgrade someone to upgrade someone else?

For 8 years I have consistently learnt nothing, it seems!

Well chaps i would just like to firstly say a big thankyou for all your help and advice once again this season. Although my overall rank was no where near as good as last years the main thing was i finished top in all my league par one. As always your advice and feedback is always appreciated and as always the choice is ultimately down to me but i certainly couldn't make them choices without you guys. Hope all went well for you and i am certainly looking forward to next year.

P.S. For those who feel paying the membership fee is not worthy, well i started to pay last season and again did so this season and both years i have finished 1st in my money leagues - make of that what you will but for me its most definitely worth it and i certainly will be doing the same next year!

Long may this site be up and running and long may the members keep flowing. Thanks all and thanks FFS for your website!

Ciao.

Just wanted to log on briefly to say thanks to everyone for the help and advice this year, particularly at the beginning. I'm seeing some really outstanding ranks on here this morning, despite Smalling's sabotage, so you should all be proud. And a great community spirit present today, lovely.

My final (at least for a while) FFS season yielded an OR of 4,715, up from 7k last year - satisfyingly this was my highest rank of the season. A great week after my Champions League tournament win in GW37. 🙂

I hope you all have a smashing season next season. I may bid fantasy football one final farewell with a 'casual' approach to the EURO 2016 game. 🙂

That 94th minute Smalling OG cost me my ML. Absolutely brutal ending to the season.

Ronaldo or Zlatan for the Euro game?
