Spofi EPL FFL: Week 15. It was a quick week . But who took advantage?

I gotta give a WOW, just WOW to HATER for putting up a solid 10. Only THREE active players. Only 210 minutes played between them. Zero transfers on the season. I think Hater is about to establish a residency on the basement. Consider his team abandoned!

Holy crap. I had a shit week and still moved up 1 spot. May wonders never cease.

I thought I did alright with 35 until I saw the other scores. This week I just played everyone in the squad who might actually get on the park, for what good it did. This next gameweek's weird, with some teams playing twice, so (cunningly I thought), I made Schwartzer captain, in order to double the points across both of Middlesborough's matches. We'll see how that little tactic works out.

That's it yerfatma's on his own now. No more links to who's playing and not playing each week. Do your own damn homework. Actually the team thing may work. Can we combine our scores and topple the table?

Damn...Kobe scores 52 and gets his own lame ass FPP, I score 52 and get...a tie for sixth! Shit. I did pick up six spots, though, so I guess it's okay.

OK, I rolled the dice this week. Come one, come all, I'm ready for you mofos! btw, keep an eye on billsaysthis. I think he's stealing a march on the top 2, and could easily slip into #1 this week. Good job, bill!

I'm sure trying ;) It's nice to be on top of some table for a change.

I got in waaaaaaay over my head. I have a commitment problem.

Gosh, I've got to have one good week. With the next couple of double-game weeks, it's now or never.

Oh, a winning score this week won't even get you in the top half of the table next week. Given how the next couple of weeks look, safe to say these standings will look radically different come Christmas. (Not that I want this; I'd be over the fucking moon with a top ten finish at the end of the season. But there is going to be a significant amount of turnover, isn't there?)

Do you think? Yukon and I have been saying since about Week 8 we wish we could start over. It seems like the points you guys got in the early weeks will maintain a gap between the lower ranks. I suppose there will be some big movers, but I don't think there will be a complete overhaul.

You said you wouldn't leave me! Then you go and score 52 points and move into 25th. I don't even know who you are anymore.

Chico, why do you think the top teams won't do as well with the fixture congestion as those below? It certainly rarely works that way for the real clubs. (Note: I'm not saying I won't be the negative form leader between now and Jan. 3.)

Blimey I'm crap this season.

I'm not saying that at all, mister leap-up-the-table. But given the juggling and extra guesswork required to navigate through the next few weeks of double-ups and many-subbed fixtures, there's a little more randomness than necessary mixed into things, which always favors the fat part of the bell curve. Entropy, and all that. Seriously, bill, by the Christmas break you should be thirty points clear of the field. (I hope, vainly, that saying so jinxes you somehow.)

Yeah, bill, you've got this in a runaway! A cakewalk, even! /sticks pin in billsaysthis doll
