I reckon there can't be many players left to drop out of these events :evil:

I had a relatively healthy choice in my OFL teams at the weekend, but it's a real struggle now :roll:

I must admit that these late withdrawal emails/tweets are indeed getting a little tedious, although US Open/Open Championship qualifying usually makes this the worst week of the year for such occurrences.

I suspect that JB Holmes will be added to the list of withdrawals later today as he's still suffering from dizziness.

I usually prefer weeks like this where I don't have to worry about the points I've left on the bench :lol: but the withdrawals have taken their toll. I have Dyson & Woodland in the same team :(

On the plus side (for us at least), it makes picking the NCG team even easier - of course, we all end up with more similar teams than usual, but it is next week that counts - US Open always a difficult one to predict IMHO.

DA Points and Webb Simpson are the latest players to withdraw this week.

Had eight players to choose from in my main team at one stage this week...now down to just five!

Has any player been top 3 at end of day 1 as many times as Robert Rock before dwindling away into the middle of the pack

My oversight of Wood from any team is looking an early mistake - loaded with Toms / Whiteford / Senden / Bourdy / De Jonge - only 1 rock

Rain likely to make it harder for the later starters??

Yes...how about fellow first round leader Chris Wood?!

On the other side of the Atlantic, Bill Haas certainly has a history of being quick off the blocks, only to fade in the latter stages.

Josh Teater is one, been up near the top a lot recently after first round but I don't think he's finished in the top 10 yet.

Rock will have been helped by my bet of Fraser to beat him :lol:

Little harsh on Bill Haas IMO, turned himself into a top quality player the last 2 years

Matt is clearly a hard task master - poor old Bill LOL

Wood was interviewed and has back injury issues / these are meaning that after 30 balls yesterday he withdrew from pro am and only played for 15 in pre start today.

May answer the Wood falling away issue - has he got 4 rounds in him?

Good to see my Kjeldsen wildcard has started with a bogey ;0)

That may be, but he hasn't capatilised on decent starts as much as he could/should.

Based on events covered by the 2010 Fantasy League Golf competition, Haas averaged 69.89 in round one, but 71.53 in round four - with special mentions for his closing 76 and 79 in the Masters and Players Championships respectively.

Admittedly, the scoring ratio has improved slightly in the six events played so far in the 2011 competition - 70 in round one versus 70.8 in round four, but did have closing rounds of 75 and 76 in events played earlier in the year and not covered by the FL Golf competition.

I feel guilty - I meant Geek and yes it was meant as a compliment :0)

I still cant get over how bad I am doing OFL - all other comps are very reasonable and by far and away the worst OFL season I have ever had - and with my top teams both having Steve Marino this week his +2 after 2 is ominous

Anyone got Woods / Mannasero / Molinari this week?

Larrazabal & Cabrera Bello on the surge this afternoon

So much for adding Segio and even making him captain in one of the group pick comps this week - was already struggling before 11 at one hole - only hope is that the euro tour are mangaging the website at the moment! :roll:

Got left in charge of mates team whilst he was on hols - he did his subs Monday *2 but Zanotti withdrew so I needed to amend that one.

However it meant reversing the transfers - I think I made a Boo Boo

Just checked who he had as I think he originally had K Bradley and Zanotti to join - I brought in Imada for Zanotti but also b*llsed up by bringing in M Bradley as opposed to K Bradley :0(

Long way to go but partly hoping he wont remember which bradley he went for :roll: Both were 0.6

What a muppet

Not sure if your system would show if I made a muck up Mr Green - not sure if I want to know

Oops! I know the history can track your changes etc etc, but if you reverse a change I think it wipes that from your history. An honest mistake should be forgiven...? He shouldn't go on holiday!

That reminds me. Anyone around middle 2-weeks of September. I am sure you are busy that fortnight, paddy :wink:

Like Jonathan suggests, history of any changes made earlier in the week prior to being reversed will have been wiped from the database.

However, to investigate this fully, it would require an email (either via the support facility on the site or directly to mr.green@fantasyleague.com) with details of your friend's email address/team name.
