Itβs all over. Sergio Aguero seals the title for City in the most dramatic finale to a Premier League campaign thus far, with Unitedβs win at Sunderland proving ultimately inconsequential. For the final time this term, then, we roll out the Big Numbers, analysing the Gameweekβs most impressive performers and looking at those players most likely to receive the bonus points tomorrow. Roll on next season already.
I need a bit of Euro help. Any Papa, Tzorvas and Walcott replacements?
Tzorvas | Given
Piszczek Kadlec Zhirkov(C) | K.Papadopoulos M.Olsson
Özil MandΕΎukiΔ Sneijder Shirokov | Walcott
Lewandowski Huntelaar IbrahimoviΔOpen Controls
Walcott... LOL
Nothing wrong with Papa K, a goal threat I believe.
I can see Euro's being a pain in the ass. Most teams will look the same.Open ControlsYeah, i know, hopefully after week2 they'll look different. I may keep Walcott or have a bigger punt to spice things up then π
Open Controls
I think a greek keeper is a good plan but the question is which one. Safikis played the most qualifying games (6 to Tsorvas' 3) but other sources cite a different guy - as yet unlisted - as the number one.
Walcott > Kallstrom? (You'd have to replace Olsson)Open Controls
We have 13 out of 15 the same at the moment. As such, I'd think about upgrading Tzorvas by downgrading Walcott (then you'll probably end up *exactly* where I am...!).
Open ControlsJust did Walcott->Rosicky. There's no other keeper i can get for 5m though due to player restrictions. I hate that all our teams will be the same. Hopefully week 2 will spice things up.
Open ControlsΔech? Pletikosa?
Open ControlsPletikosa plays the same day as Given and I have Rosicky and Kadlec, so no Cech. Plus he's against Russia!
Open ControlsAh, fair enough. And you're right, if Fantasy EURO 2012 teams end up being as generic as they were with FPL this year then I'll pull out and just enjoy the tournament. That was always the plan anyway.
I used my knowledge of proven Bundesliga performers (Papadopoulos, Piszczek, Huntelaar, Lewandowski) and Eastern European national sides to draft my squad, and was hoping that few other people would choose the same route.Open Controls
Is there any team that doesn't have Kadlec and Lewandowski?
Open Controls
Story lads! Just wonderin' what site you're on for the Euro FF?
Open Controls
57k overa rank-i am delighted π
not bad after i was ranked +1M in gw 11
next year i wont make such a terrible start i hopeOpen Controls
31k overall.. considerin i was 304k 11 weeks ago i think i've done pretty ok.. managed to cover a 90 point lead of my ML leader since then too
Open Controls
Any chance of Caulker bonus?
Open ControlsI hope!!
Open Controls
He's not predicted any. The predicted Swansea baps are dominated by defenders so I guess there's a chance.
Open Controlsfingers crossed X
why o why did you have to take a yellow card RVP (c)..Open Controls
I felt the same with Aguero (C) but I forgive him.
Open Controls
So disappointing that last minute decisions that I almost made would have won my mini league from a large deficit. That it was Aguero's goal that would have snatched it from my Utd supporting rival makes it even more of a shame.
Open Controlswhy did you get rid of jelavic at first place??
it was obvious that he will scoreOpen ControlsFelt Aguero and RVP could score more. Jelly's not the mistake I was thinking of, not getting Boyce and benching Pienaar is what cost me.
Open Controlsouch π
boyce brace-you must be really pissed in that caseOpen Controls
Ouch on Boyce but what made you bench Pienaar when he was at home and on form?
Open ControlsHad to choose between VDV, Siggy, Moses, Nasri and Pienaar. Had Siggy on the bench all week then changed yesterday morning, thinking he had more potential for a big score. Almost put Pienaar back in for Moses but I thought it could be a tight game with Newcastle having do much to play for.
Open Controls
Yes. So obvious. Silly me for doing Jelavic->Aguero
Open Controlsi dont know if you making fun of me or....but it was obvious that jelavic will score
just look at everton home form and jelavic preformances-IF you give him 2-3 chanses he will score at least 1 goalOpen Controls
He scored after handballing it, if it weren't for that he wouldn't have scored...
Open Controlsyeah,so??he still scored
i dont see your point...Open ControlsI don't see your point of it being so "obvious"
If the ref made the correct call, he'd be on two points with 0 goals.
Funny how you say this AFTER he scores by the way.Open Controlshuh??i was telling ppl to not get rid of jelavic and rooney all week LOL
he scored after handball but he still scored
so,last fixure he also scored goal but ref called offside-what do you have to say about that???
i just wanna say that jelavic is in fanastic form and if he gets chanse for scoring he would scoreOpen ControlsWtf does the last fixture have to do with him vs Newcastle?
Open Controlsi'll just copy what you said
''If the ref made the correct call, he’d be on two points with 0 goals. LOL,,
so-is ref didn't call offside for regular goal he would hit dubble figures
it's very stupid to talk about refs cals....they did what they did and we should forget on that and move on
jelavic is class playerOpen ControlsI'm not denying Jelavic is a good player, but to say anyone was "obviously" going to score is ridiculous, but then again, what more can we expect from you, eh?
Open Controls
Next thing you are going to tell me it was obvious that Hibbert was going to score an own goal as well.
Open Controls
You lost?
Open ControlsWell done on your top 3K Fratboy.
Same ML again next season for a re-match?Open ControlsWell done flynnie. Did you grab a win in the last Reserves h2h? You prob 5-10 points off a top 1k finish. Terry/Aquero boners maybe?
Can I join you and Fartboy next year in a ML>Open Controls
Of course you can Mr.4K.
Thanks Flynn congrats to you also! Great league, shame it's been won by someone who posts once every 3 weeks.Open ControlsCool man, I need to be in a ML with "highflyers" that will push me to a top 1k finish.
Open ControlsI'll see if I can find you one.
Open ControlsThis guy won the ML:http://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/9999/event-history/38/
An extremely impressive 583rd.
Having other highflyers actually does help I think, if anything because you analyse their moves more.Open Controls
I hate it when people do that.
Like having a H2H league where you end up losing games to F**King dead teams at some crucial moment.Open Controls
Fratboy, thanks for the mini-league ! Looks like I finished 3rd, see you next season!
Open Controls
We can set up several leagues I imagine.
I think I got the Reserves game just by 3pts pre- bonus, so fingers crossed.
How have you done? I'll have a look when I ve posted this.Open ControlsNah, I lost week so this week was a "dead rubber" for me. I had to win my last 5 fixtures I think. Will end in top 100 or so, but not inside the top 50 required to qualify.
It's a feckup to Q from the Reserves. I just want to achieve it and then i won't be bothered if I get slotted into a FFS h2h league.
I've retained my ML title I lost in fix 38 last season by 4 pts, (60 pounds in the bag makes it even sweeter)
Next season it's all about top 1k for me. Has to be. Got to have a good start for a chance.Open Controls*lost last week(bloody Rooney(c))
Open ControlsFFS Reserves is so, so tough. I was 2nd after 8 or 9 weeks, so I'm really disapointed to miss out. I think I've lost by a couple of points to King Eric in GW38 match.
Lost to THREE dead teams during the season...so frustrating!Open ControlsI feel for you Roys.
Open Controls
I think it's the captaincy choices that do it. I've had decent ones this year and totally awful last year 50K difference.
Open Controls
Posted it on last page.
My Euro Team-
Stekelenburg-Given
Zhirkov-Kadlec-Piszczek-M.Olsson-K.Papadopoulos
Xavi, Shirokov, Mandzukic, Larsson, Yarmolenko
Llorente-Lewandowski-HuntelaarOpen ControlsXavi-->Ozil
Open ControlsNo seriously, I just can't see myself going into a Euro fixture with no German players. especially the form they were in during Q's.
Open Controls
LOL
Open Controls...I'd rather have 2 Germans vs Portugal(that struggled to Q) than 2 Spain vs Italy(that only conceded 2 goals in their Q's)
Open Controls
Is there any reason why RVP shouldnt get the assist for the 1st goal..nobody seemed to touch it before Benayoun nicked it before the keeper?
Open Controls
Assist-rules:
"Assists are awarded to the player from the goal scoring team, who makes the last touch before the goal is scored.
If after this touch, an opposing player touches the ball outside the penalty area altering the intended destination of the ball, then no assist is given, except if this intervention directly results in an own goal."
I guess the direction was altered outside the box, and then its not given..Open Controls
Lol had already done Sess to Moses, with nes of Demsp injury I took a 4 pointer to get Silva instead of playing Naylor as I fancied Liverpool to score...
Sess 2 Naylor 6 = 8
Silva 5 Moses 1 = 6 (-4 point hit )= net 2
So yet another punt costs me points!!! πOpen Controls
See below.....
I had Dempsey Skrtel Sagna and JEvans out so brought in Clichy and Nasri, and a cheeky punt on Sturridge for an 8 point hit
If I'd played Valencia and Evans and made no transfers I'd have got 14 points more!
Fitting end to the season for me!Open Controls
14 point transfer fail to end the season. Hey ho.
Bloody Fergie though, how would I know not to bench Evans??Open Controlswhy would you bench evans??
it dosn't make any sense
i left him in my team cause if he was injureed i would still got sub comming in for himOpen Controls
I agree. I alweays play the XI I want to play. I had Dempsey on my team this week too, just in case like.
Open ControlsJelavic was obviously going to score
Evans was obviously going to play despite SAF saying he need surgery and ruling him out.
Where was your incredible foresight the rest of the season?Open Controlsi had fanastic gw
somehow i knew that evans would play and just wanted him give a chanse and i played him in my team
i played cahill as well
btw-you forget on rooney π i knew that he would score as well
i dont get why you always need to be bitter??oh well πOpen ControlsThis comment has been removed. Please consult our terms and conditions if in doubt on content suitable for posting on this site.
moron??why,i seriously dont get why you hate me so much...it's your choice π
cheers anywaysOpen Controls
No need Jack. We all need to get along through this difficult period they call "summer".
Open ControlsApologies π
The end of season period has already got to me..Open ControlsWell done on your finish Mark. Be gentle on Granny!
*Please give me one of those "golden tickets" into one of the FFS h2h leagues for 2012/13 please.
Second year running I'm not making it out of the Reserves...
π₯Open Controls
Oh it wasn't even that bad π
Open Controls
Forca - do you know if Strinic and/or Lovren are likely to start for Croatia?
Open ControlsLovren -injureed
Strinc play better lately and there is chanse that he will play at LB and corluka at RB
all depends on strinic
if he prove himself on tranings he is 100% starter ,if he not then vida will play RB and corluka LBOpen Controls
Is anyone buying this gripping documentary about Stuart Downing's record breaking season?
http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/556143_413744315332457_345971365443086_1278251_1498935761_n.jpgOpen Controlsπ If he gets in the England squad i'm going to be so pissed. Adam Johnson and Milner should get their first, and even Jarivs!
Open Controls
At least he could be down to 5.5/6m next year and could actually be an option π
Open ControlsHeskey is also an option. It doesn't mean it's a good idea! Maxi may get more starts.
Open ControlsI get your point TGB but.....
Downing is the type of nugget I always look for i.e a player that HAS scored highly in previous seasons and due to a move/personal reasons/ injury/ or whatever has a poor season and associated big drop in value can be a real gem if they hit their previous form again at the lower price.Open Controls
Anyone know when next seasons fixtures are released and when FPL updates for the new season? Going to be a long couple of months... even with the Euros.
Open ControlsThink people said it was the start of July..
So only a month and a half until we make our 2012 teams πOpen ControlsGood stuff, have a nuts idea in mind that I'm keen to try at the start of next season but it depends on prices, fixtures and which teams rotate well.
Open ControlsDo share π
Open ControlsI would like to triple up on the defences of two defensively solid teams and then have one big hitter like Verm or Baines to play every week. This will only be worth a try if there are 2 teams with good CS prospects, cheapish defenders and home/away rotation. It sounds mad but would have worked very well this season with Newcastle/Swansea.
Given that they will rotate perfectly I'm thinking Newcastle and Sunderland but Newcastle might be too expensive and they have Thursday night football. I'm also interested in a Wigan triple up - Al Habsi, Boyce and one other.Open Controls
I received an email from FPL towers on 12 July 2011 to say codes are being reset. I do seem to recall it did take a very long while after that with all the problems to get up and running.
So my guess is it won't be early July.Open Controls
aguero's bp's should get me into top 20k. Happy with that and first time ive won my ML, happy days..
not sure i can be arsed to do the euro fantasy, might recharge the batteries and just enjoy the football..Open Controls
I need 12 bps from Pienaar, Jelavic, Aguero (C), VDV, Evans and RVP to score over 2350 points (my aim for the past few weeks). Reckon I'm going to be a couple of points short π
Open Controls
...well, pre- bonus i am in the top 70K (62231) so much better result than last season where i was in the millions...thanx to this site and those that frequent for all your advise and help throughout the season...
..geez, it is real tight at the top of the overall league though, wouldnt want to the the undies of both of those guys right now...!!Open Controls
