    Thank you ;wahoo

    Of course I had no idea that I had won due to the dodgy app.

    What do I win? ;whistle

  • I came 38th in a field of 57 which is quite poor. ;doh


    It's been good fun though.

    It's been good fun though.

    Its the taking part that counts. Oh and the winning.
  • From memory (checked earlier in the season) I lost 8 of my first 13 H2H! Steadily improved to a point where I was easily in the hunt for top3 to top5 and then bombed again (whilst strangely scoring really well in the last few gameweeks - notably losing a H2H with 169 points! )

    Between GW1 and GW25 I was always in the million to 2 million score range. So a great end 13 GWs saw me go up every week apart from 1

    Similarly to Mrs Greys comments, I'd like to think I've learned a couple of things from this season and I'll be better in the H2H league next season. At the end of the day though, we all need some consistent good luck and judgment with captains and bench players etc.

    I look at the very top scoring players squads vs my own plus believe my own teams of the last half of the season are stronger in starting line up and squad depth (because of the 108 million helping of course). To be up there though you have to time those in and outs almost perfectly week in/week out, be lucky when one of your players is omitted and have a good scoring sub virtually every time when it does happen. In my case, making less transfers may help too ;whistle

    As I would imagine Mrs Grey (from last seasons exploits) will most likely confirm, that combination of good TF choices, team selection/bench order, good fortune/luck all have to be consistently in place virtually every GW for us to challenge. It's great when it comes off and so typical when it doesnt ;doh Its an amazing game and also periodically an extremely frustrating one!

    So, with next season in mind, do you feel lucky

    I think that's the first time I've broken the 2000 point mark for a season in my 7 years playing the game. So have to be pleased with that. Top 4 in head to head. Top 12 in WHU606 league. Top 450,000 overall. 53.58 gameweek point average.

    Well done all for playing. Well done Ham and well done Baz for all your insights.

    ;bowdown
  • Interestingly the winning team averaged 67.47 each gameweek.

    So for next season we all know what we need to hit each week to win it! ;wink
  • It took me until the 14th GW to even score 67 ;lol

    Last 7 GW's I averaged 91though
  • Ominous for next season then ;puzzled
  • Just hoping Mrs IH doesn't want to move house over the summer. ;wink
  • Last couple of seasons (at least) I've used my wildcard in GW2 which hasnt exactly helped ;hmm

    A combination of belief certain players would play/progress/do as well as previous season (e.g. Martial + Mahrez) lots of injuries and maybe being seduced by those exotic new players too (e.g Mkhitaryan ;whistle

    Those are definitely areas I could improve on.

    Will try to be a little wiser and less cavalier (at least for a bit until Bazfer fever breaks out)
  • My strategy of saving my chips for DGWs, while sensible on the face of it, doesn't necessarily pay off.

    Partly because by the later stages of the season (when the DGWs kick in) managers rotate their squads. Leaving key players out for fatigue reasons or to save them for Cup game. Pep, I'm looking at you ;angry

    So apart from the 'full on' dgw (of which there is always one) next season I will be playing my chips when I think I've got a good team with good fixtures.
  • I think I played my triple captain on a whim and my bench boost because I'd made 5 or 6 transfers that week ;lol

  • Les than a month to go before the launch of the new season.


    Tell the truth, baz... have you already worked out your interim starting squad? ;biggrin
  • They're probably in pre season somewhere in Florida.

    Mrs G, he's already got his first 53 transfers planned ;lol
  • Eh hem, if you look back in the thread, I did say that I already had a preliminary team/squad formulated near the end of the last season ;biggrin

    My Mum says there's nothing wrong with that ;whistle

    Sky Sports fantasy football back today ;wahoo ;barrera ;poormf coyi

    And yes, I have already formulated a team ;whistle I had to! I have 35 days to make as many TFs, I mean alterations, as I want!
  • The official Pl one back next week.

    I may have made a few preparatory notes ;whistle
  • Is it? ;pray It always seems like a long time after the Sky one opens ;wahoo
  • Does 'preparatory notes' include an excel spreadsheet of the more prominent teams defensive fixtures for the first 15 games? Just askin'

    You set the bar too high.

  • Bars you have a whole month of making changes that won't cost you anything....

    For some reason I have a vision of Tony Montania sitting in front of a pile of cocaine...
  • Hope the app works this season

  • Exciting...


    The "Free Hit" chip replaces last season's "All Out Attack" chip to sit alongside the Wildcard, the Triple Captain and Bench Boost.

    A Free Hit can be taken once per season and allows for unlimited transfers in a single Gameweek.
