S-M?    Nope . . . Bernardo's got the skipper brief, this time, thinking that Watford may be easier to penetrate than Burnley !

I’m hoping not from Toon supporter’s perspective

[BigHewer]

Well I took the armband off Son and drafted in Kane as captain with predictable results; Son hauls and Kane blanks.

Talk about buyer’s remorse

[King Cotton]

Greetings footie fantasiziers, with another intriguing glimpse of the FPL scores on the doors.

GW15 was notable, both for the league leaders swapping places, due to an unusually lowish score from Athletico Pathetico (@Athletico ) and Pasar Rebo FC (@BigHewer) taking full advantage, and also for The vikings (@Slacker77) excelling themselves with a second top weekly haul on the bounce, following last time's 79 with an awesome 70, as under . . .

But, as the best of pundits are want to say, 'It's still all to play for!' 

No transfer penalty points awarded this week, but the guy that paints the chips with their fancy colours is taking December off . . . too busy writing Christmas cards !

[BigHewer]

Excellent round up as usual @King Cottonand another shout out to @Slacker77, who has now won two game weeks on the trot and three in total. Leaders beware! 

Onto GW 16, then…

[Slacker77]

Thanks BH and KC,

it's a long way to the top ;)

Oh, classic, espec when those Scots bagpipes kick-in. Certainly more exciting than my recent FPL performance .

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nULs4JW3tPI

Played it twice, now, and just managing to avoid wetting myself . . . what a bloody performance.

 

[King Cotton]

With the game-weeks coming at a rate that's got me dizzy and with so many cards still to write, my paint set is staying put. A huge 81 pts win for FC Mandanga and two more 80 scores really does put my awful recent scores into perspective . . . the resignation perspective, maybe most appropriately !

Here are the stats up to and including GW16.

And, beggar me, it's GW17 tomorrow - like I say, quite dizzy-making . . . Good luck, nonetheless !

Another great summary KC and another game week win for mystery member FC Mandanga. Still fairly tight among the top four with @Athleticodeservedly at the top of the pile. I think we might be talking about a top five in a few game weeks if FC Mandanga carries on to form. Dr. Evil has dropped  off somewhat in 4th spot, but as I said at the start of the season, this is the player I fear most. No doubt he is in his bunker on an island off the Andaman Coast, plotting something “evil” for game week 17. Dr. Evil, if you’re reading this (or if Mini-Me is reading it on your behalf), will you come and join us in the forum?

Now Brentford vs. Man United has been postponed due to COVID… this might end up being a multi-transfer week…

I just got rid of Kane and transferred Ronaldo back in.

[King Cotton]

Game-week 18 stats hereunder and it's no surprise that the 6 postponed matches have produced a number of unrepresentative results, our poor friend @BigHewerespecially, who had only 3 men on the field for the Spurs vs LIV game. Chip colour-man still on strike, but you'll notice that 5 players have recently added to their chips tally.

Let's hope the situation for the Boxing Day GW19 games has improved, although the UK Covid situation is likely to reap even more damage on the fixture list . . . Fingers crossed is all we can do, but good luck and a Merry Christmas, regardless !

[King Cotton]

Right, that's the year done, with game-week 20 Fantasy PL stats hereunder, now showing an additional top-flier with FC Mandanga making-up a top-five, within 100 points of each other . . . exciting stuff, up in those higher realms!

And congrats to @Benroon, whose Inter MiNan squad have bagged top GW score with an excellent 68 . . . their third game-week win, too.

Great wrap up as usual KC and I apologize for my no-show on this thread of late. Pasar Rebo FC also a bit of a no-show in terms of performance

Still loads to play for in the Game Weeks ahead. @Athletico looking imperious at the top but a few candidates not far behind (myself excluded ).

Good luck to all in tomorrow’s games. Will there be any more postponements to throw a wrench in the works?

[BigHewer]

Well another game week in the FPL (Forgotten Premier League) has come and gone and has left more tales of triumph and woe in its wake. Moreso woe for my team, which has gone from 1st to 5th (and 100 points off the pace) in a couple of months . Shout out to ‘mystery member’ FC Mandanga, who again won the week and has climbed up to 4th.

Game week 21 Top 6 in full (team, GW points, overall rank, game weeks won):

1. FC Mandanga (77, #4, 4)

2. Athletico Pathetico (74, #1, 4)

3. Oi Oi Team (60, #7, 0)

4. The Vikings (52, #9, 4)

5. As Above So Below (46, #10, 2)

5. Tottenham Krian (46, #13, 0)

Onto a bumper Game Week 22 then. Will FC Mandanga climb any further? Or will TT’s own Manchester City Athletico Pathetico extend their lead at the top? And what is Dr. Evil cooking up down in 3rd from his underground bunker? Time will tell…

Bring on the next games and let’s hope for no postponements(!)

Absolutely no comment, @BigHewer! If it wasn't for my good buddie @Poolieand his Guangxi United outfit I'd be bottom of the pile. But don't worry, Poolie . . . I'll be your storm roof just as long as you like !

I'm not used to this high falutin' Premier League stuff but I'm creeping up there after a poor start.

Are we having Div 4 next year?

[King Cotton]

Yup, there goes another rather convoluted gameweek, with heaven knows how many rearranged games having to be tacked onto GW22. But there they are and, now, here they are, for us to either gloat or grimace over.

And, for the third time, Maximum characters (whoever he or she is?!?) has achieved the gameweek top score with yet another over-seventy total of 73, making us poor 'bottom sector' mortals look rather under-performing with our 20's, 30's and the occasional 40+ . . . not good !

The guy with the paint set hopes to reopen it soon, so please use your imagination regarding the various recent & accumulative Chip reports. And no extra signings penalty points this time, too, making me suspect that there are players planning on double free transfers for GW23 . . . let's have a see, now!

Here's hoping for a Covid-free GW23 and best wishes to all!

Cheers!

Great wrap as usual KC and we’ll done to mystery member Maximum Characters with another fine score.

Some big transfer decisions coming up… I might follow Rangnick’s lead and finally bench CR7…

Yeah, I guess we - and one man and his dog! - knew that wouldn't be an easy coming-together. What a child, regardless of his unquestionable goal-scoring value to the club. RR will need to be putting some heavy feet down after yesterday's tantrum, I'm sure.

Calm down it wasn't a tantrum that was Ronny being petulant as he has always been

But at least you had a 7-pt Norwich player in your squad to help counter Dennis's red. What about poor old @Athletico, with Dennis as captain, scoring double-minus-one . . . oh, the pain !

But, no worries, Ath, you'll come good tomorrow . . . as per usual  !

I noticed that after I posted. AP will now probably go and win the round by 20 points.
