Afghans on the rise.

Staggering indeed 😆 Up The Iberland! 😉

If I hadn’t sold Son for a hit I’d have hit 104 points ...

Good week for us.

Credit is for all my team mates for all those discussions in picking the best team.

Now , for the final few weeks..

So how is the format after 19 weeks?

I noticed that our opponents this week, Emre Canada, do not have the correct number of points – it should be 18 instead of 16.

I also noticed that they have score more FPL points than my team – Greatbangledash. Fair enough, the luck of the draw and then I saw that there had been no draws. What are the odds? But I thought couldn’t something be done to include the way draws are an integral part of football. This could be done by classifying results within a certain boundary (i.e 10) as a draw and scoring the result as 2-1 or by giving the losing team a bonus point if they are within 20.

If the Community Watch continues next year would the powers that be consider the introduction of a VAR (Variable Adding-up Rules) system?

@Jarvish

Seems my e-mail provider have gone on some sort of strike.
Managed to log in and see that you wanted our teams early, hit answer and down it went......

So if you don't get an e-mail from me in the middle of the night you will find my team here, under this post.
Looks like I'm either saving ft or doing Roo to Wilson. Gonna cap Kun for sure.

best of luck Ibeland we intend to take your second spot

Who needs luck when you're staggering! Go Ibeland!!

With Boris still juggling book tour commitments and discussions with Hollywood producers with his transfer window scheming, its been a quiet week in the Salahmon Islands, but tension is now rising as we look forward to the local derby against Fashanu Zealand, I say local, but with the SatNav on the blink following the recent cyber attack, we had to consult TripAdvisor for directions to the ground.

"Steer the raft to the end of the road, turn right onto the South Pacific Ocean bearing south past Australia (waving the Ashes goodbye as you go), and heading towards the smell of sheep dip. Pick an Island to moor on and ask any native (they're all related) the way to Plough Lane."

With that problem solved the next issue is team tactics. With FNZ's ethos based on the long ball, longer ball and occasional drop goal, watching them play is worse than being waterboarded, but Boris has a plan. First, having transfer listed Unitednations for scoring 99pts from the bench, the aim is to bring in Peter Crouch, with Big Bird as Plan B. FNZ also have a few injuries: Cpt Crunch has lost the use of his mouse, and Jarvis cricked his neck looking down the league table to see where we are.

Boris isn't worried about their elevated status; "Just think of them as Mozambique with benefits".

Armed with those inspirational thoughts, our no-Kane strategy, and a nervous look over the shoulder to see where Blindia are, the team bidding for mid-table obscurity will be:

Greenwindmill (C)
Boris
Sune
Lord
Knuckles
Swanmoretime
Torreslove

Glory beckons.

Good luck Georgia Boyd. Our line up:

Captain: Rhinos

Will make this point one final time

If your team is a mess and you could feasibly take a -8 and still not have it fully sorted out, then just wildcard

The main argument against wildcarding now seems to be that you need to keep the wildcard for a double gameweek. But even if you play your wildcard now, it's very easy to build up to, let's say, 9 players with a DGW fixture later this season. That's partly because you have ages to prepare to get there and partly because a FH makes that easier this year (when avoiding the blanks).

But the core factor is that, when you're a week or two before the DGW, you can be sat there comfortably knowing that, assuming you pick players with a good chance of playing both games, each hit effectively only costs you -2 over single gameweekers. Simple as that.

So while a -8 can get you 2 transfers now, it can effectively get you 4 transfers before the DGW while others are using their wildcard.

TLDR: by using your wildcard right before the DGW, you're missing the only time of the season (apart from blanks) where hits are 50% off if you spend wisely.

FNZ v Salahmon Islands, according to my calculations after hits, autosubs, cancellations, etc.

FNZ: 49pts + Kane x 2, Son; Fabianksi, Ayew, Firmino x 2, Gomez
SI: Vert, D Sanchez, Eriksen, Alli, Robertson, Salah, Mane

afghans +17points kanex3, vvd, firminox3
ibeland eriksenx3 gomez robertson fabianskix2 salah x2

too close to call

I work it out as 39 points advantage for Bolivia over moza
Most of our differentials are Spurs

HN +52

Firmino,
TAA x 2 (or 4 points)
-----------------------------------
GB

Salah x 3,
Oxlade x 2,
Robertson x 2,
Ayew

Balegium
40 pts + Ox, Fabianski
Gabons
3 Salah,1 Firmino
Game on

Grabbangladesh:

Gomez (x3), Robertson, Firmino

Emre Canada:

+9pts, Salah, Fabiański

I think we are 14 points ahead but Matagascar has Firmino x2, Salah x2 and Robertson. So any kind of return for one of those would be enough to turn it around.

think Bolivia lead by 23
them
firmino ox Robertson
us
fabs x2 klaven or 1 point gomez

I think we have no chance

Reussia vs Germane approx. result and differentials:

Reussia: +50, +3 VVD (or 3pts), +2 Gomez (or 2pts).

Germane: +1 Salah, +1 Robertson (or Tarroll)

40 point win for Hungary Neville. That’s 10 wins in the last 11 games. We march on at the top of the league. Unlucky GB, Salah let you down big time.

4th beats second to move up to 3rd. typing this made me think of naked gun..

If my calculations are right. Messidonia beats Matagascar by 5 points
Final score is
Messidonia 414 Vs Matagasc. 409

Hard luck Matagascar and good luck with your next matches 🙂
