Make it a PPG of 4 and you get
murf - 1960
Zip - 1959
HH - 1954
TopB - 1959

Make it a PPG of 5 and you get
murf - 1970

HH - 1966
TopB - 1973

Lets just say it is tight.....

3 of us have Barkley and you have your bonus points from PVA so don't be greedy.

Post by **murf** » 15 May 2016, 15:20

KCs for Aguero and Monreal?

Man U abandoned - will it get replayed and will 1st teamers start?????

Post by **murf** » 15 May 2016, 15:22

Spurs concede. I need Man U game to never happen...

EDIT now Dawson concedes too. I'm doomed.

Post by **zipnolan** » 15 May 2016, 17:30

It looks as though HH is going to be a few points clear of me, with Murf's double Spurs defence being catastrophic. So really just a matter of Martial (HH) vs Smalling / Rooney for the last two games. More than a possibility that, should MU win the cup, one or more of these may not play in the final league game.

Also a chance for TB who has about the same number of points as me, with Smalling (whom HH doesn't have) and Martial (whom I don't have).

Lawks.

Edit: With Aguero assist, I think it's HH from TB, then Murf then me. Since I did this in my head, it might be all cobblers.

Also forgot Lingard, so TB in great shape! Sorry for the omission

Post by **murf** » 15 May 2016, 19:10

I might have a few possible KCs to move me up but think I am screwed for the overall win.

Post by **murf** » 15 May 2016, 19:29

3 KCs for Sanchez. 6 in total for me (Dier KdB Aguero)

Hoppy leads from me by 9 points.

Unless Rashford gets 4 OGs or there is a hat trick for Lingard Smalling then it is game over.

Was on the golf course, and much preferred the live scores league table!
Pffft

Post by **happyhoppy** » 15 May 2016, 22:19

Today has been great fun. Nailed my works SL, Saints in Europe and have somehow got to the top of this. Lack of MU will cost me I think. Great finish though well played everyone.

Post by **zipnolan** » 16 May 2016, 08:26

Well done HH. In my earlier ravings, I failed to anticipate the KCs of Sanchez - naturally in FPL, where I had him as captain, he received zero assists. I'm out of it now, and TB needs something miraculous to occur....

Post by **happyhoppy** » 16 May 2016, 10:06

Cheers Zip, a few weeks ago I couldn't see past a Murf win but who could have foreseen the Spurs collapse! The Arsenal defence as I had hoped kept some cleanies and got some KCs and this kept me in it.

Will do another comparison table for the MU games, it ain't over yet think TB is still odds on IMO.

Post by **happyhoppy** » 16 May 2016, 10:13

Week 41

In an incredible turn of events I retuned to the top with the week's best score of 77, luckyhappyhoppy, a 9 point lead over Murf who I have covered so the winner will be either myself, TB or Zip; table with differentials to come later. At the bottom a very closely fought battle sees just 9 points separate sjr (4 MU), Lucky7s (2 MU) and the Saint (2 MU) so sjr whilst 2nd bottom actually in best shape.

You're looking good there HH. By no means certain but odds-on...

What he said ^^
Zip and I need Smalling to play and keep a clean sheet tomorrow - unlikely
Then same again in cup final, and for me, Lingard to outscore Rashford by 3 over the 2 games.

Long odds...but it has been a funny old season!

Post by **happyhoppy** » 16 May 2016, 19:23

It has, zip ruled me out a week or so ago so anything can happen!

Post by **happyhoppy** » 17 May 2016, 22:34

Got away with that tonight!

You owe Smalling for that one.

Post by **murf** » 17 May 2016, 23:16

Still got a slim hope of holding 2nd.....

Post by **top banana** » 18 May 2016, 01:20

Well that couldn't have gone much worse!
Flicked on to the game just as Martial fed Lingard to shoot/deflect wide.
Standard 2points for my only hope then-destined to miss out on the podium even now

Wp you three..

Post by **happyhoppy** » 18 May 2016, 06:25

I'm not so sure it's all over just yet still big swings can be had, Rooney got 13 yesterday and with a clean sheet from Smalling that would be 20 which would be enough to get Zip top (back 19).

At the bottom Lucky7s made a great move up c/o Rooney and now looks favourite to avoid the drop.

Let's be honest - it's over..... TB and I needed a Smalling clean sheet yesterday....if that had happened, I would have given myself a slim chance.

Now I'm in the position, as a Palace supporter who is going on Saturday, of needing Rooney and Smalling to dominate the cup final. Think I'd settle for a podium place.

Post by **sjr** » 20 May 2016, 19:10

That Smalling OG could well have condemned me to the drop.. I've been poor this season

Post by **happyhoppy** » 21 May 2016, 07:10

It's been a weird season hasn't it? Today is d day!

Post by **Spinynorman** » 21 May 2016, 09:43

It's all been rather nerve wracking. It will be nice to be able to have a lie down.

Post by **happyhoppy** » 21 May 2016, 21:31

But in all seriousness I can't believe I won this year, still trying to work out how! Zip took the runners up spot from Murf with Top Banana just behind in 4th.
At the bottom last year's champion is relegated and is joined in the Championship with sjr and the woolster.

Thanks everyone for playing and making this one of the most closely contested and enjoyable seasons.

Thank you HH for hosting and congrats on the win. If you ever see Chris Smalling buy him a pint yeah

I'm delighted to end up in the top half of the table after where I've spent most of the season. Going to enjoy a summer off of footy now.
