Where are you?

Post by itslikebrandnew »

How is everyone doing? I'm in the top 250 with T1 and top 500 with T2.

Time for a reality check now when everyone else says they are in the top 100 :lol:

Just inside the Top 1500 and very happy with my position.

Within 20pts of both the 2017 and 2018 Sky Winners.

Am very confident of a third Top 100 finish.

1,401 with my "first" team and 803 with the second. Making decent progress considering I was 7,000th just before the overhaul in both.

:lol: i can say that about 5 or 6 of my team 2 transfers.

Not impressed with Aubameyang in my T1 either.

Btw guys how many players do you have in your teams that you feel are underperforming? I've got 3 in my T1 that i'm not happy with but playing the patient game with this team so have to wait it out until the right time comes.

Was 20,000th just before the overhaul and I am now 3,750th. I'm well chuffed with that as i've only used 5 transfers. Only my second year playing and i'm really getting into it now as I understand the game more :D

Same here, 2nd season for me. Have you targetted a finishing position? I'm still learning a few things and hope to mount a serious challenge next season as no doubt i'll drop away when the top managers make better use of transfers than i've done.

I’m targeting first but being realistic top 100 would be nice. My team is set up to how I want it to be now so don’t need to make any rash decisions on transfers and just gonna stick to my game plan/strategy. Would be nice if I was abit higher up at this stage - would love to be in your position pal. You’re doing well considering only your second season too 👍🏻

Great points tally for me but some bad luck and stupid transfers so far.

Had Zaha today as captain in both teams. Really lucky to get points for an assist as he's lost his decent early season form.

Is anyone making a dent into the leaders lead? They must be using transfers faster than me. :lol:

I've had quite a few really good weeks and although progressing into the top 200 i still find myself 150 off the lead. Which is where i was a few weeks back but much further down the leaderboard.

Well everyone has 40t, can only use 5 per gw, we are only at gw8 with one gw an international break. Pointless concerning yourself with the leaders tally at this stage. Just stick to your plan and see where it takes you come Jan/Feb. That's when the leaders will be slowing up.

Beth doesn't play Sky, she thinks it's too complicated.

I know, it's just disheartening to think you're having a few good weeks but find yourself no better off in terms of points behind the leader. My teams are top 200, and the other just outside the top 400.

Don't forget it's only my 2nd season so i'm not really clued up on what people consider a lead that is just too great to catch. I suppose on a 2 game week there could easily be a 150pts swing between teams.

Don't worry mate. Great start and the leaderboard won't start to sort itself out until November/December

Thanks Gary, this is the type of thing i need to take onboard for next season. I'm hoping my 3rd season is when i start to become competitive and may join a couple of leagues on here. I really enjoy this game so much more than any of the other games.

Nooo - disaster. Still a long way to go: you can recover from that.

Ryan captain here. Never expected a clean sheet.

If it was me who had Duffy I know it would have ended in a disaster.

Thanks, Duffy has been great for me, twice a captain and 22pts and 12pts. Not sure i can get rid of him with Brightons upcoming games.

1,727th - 37 Transfers - Team set up nicely for the foreseeable.
3,763rd - 36 Transfers - hate this team but it's ticking over.

If you can keep Jason & Dan in your sights, you won't be going far wrong.

Only person of note i see on the leaderboard is Simon Ward (who won virtually everything a few years back),
but i'm hoping he's sp*nked transfers along with the rest of the Top 100

ohh and Striker obvs.
