[Touring Mars]

Well, it looks like Stuart is running away with it now, an amazing 18 points clear... but the battle for second is close between DQuaN and me, and the battle for 5th is very tight indeed... it's close all the way down to the bottom too...

1 Vlad's Leaky Wallet (Stuart) - 119
2 Waldemar Wonderers (DQuaN) - 101
3 Athletico Turismo (TM) - 96
4 Amateur Cult (Only_in_F1) - 84
5 Real Turismo (Evil Famine) - 73
6 Hoof Hearted (Specialized) - 72
7 FC Omnis (Omnis) - 71
8 From Blue To White (<_Spike_>) - 66
9 Tuggerah United (Jimmy Enslashay) - 64
10 Wotsis Mark II (Nina) - 64
11 Smokey Emotions FC (Mark T) - 59
12 South Manchester United (Dave A) - 52
13 Red Red Wine (Jess) - 48
14 Speed FC (Alex.) - 43
15 Manchester Menace (Sting) - 42

Is it possible to have points taken off if you have a REALLY bad week?

Because I think my overall score this week was -1

 

[Touring Mars]

Yes, you can get minuses, esp. if you're defenders/goalie has a bad week...

 

[<_Spike_>]

God 8th is depressing when I was in the top 3 consistently for the first 2 or 3 weeks...oh well. Made some changes...

Hargreaves, Torres & Noble out

Smertin, Martins & Hleb in

Didn't want to ditch Torres but Rafa's STUPID rotation policy is costing myself as much as Liverpool

 

[Touring Mars]

Blimey, the top 2 are pulling away now... I saw it last week and Stuart had a massive lead, but DQuaN has pegged him back somewhat. Local rivals Real Turismo and Athletico Turismo are even-Stevens with Spec just behind in 5th... Very tight all the way down, especially for 10th!...

bah, slipping further down...

 

[DQuaN]

And i've taken the lead.

 

[Touring Mars]

Wow, and by some margin! Stu has been moving house and leaving work so has probably stopped playing for the moment, but Evil Famine is on the rise, so watch your back

 

[<_Spike_>]

Glad I've stopped the rot, finally starting to climb away from the bottom scrap again, 3 changes to my team though...

Martins, Smertin and Baines out...

Tevez, Leadbitter and Chimbonda in...

 

[Alex.]

Benjani hasnt scored for donkey's and I took torres out the other day but I have got ronaldo who scored 3!

 

[<_Spike_>]

Yup I'm definitely preferring my progress in the Premier League FF lol, 30 points adrift at the bottom to 8th place (out of 16 in the league) in 6 weeks...compared to constant mid-table mediocrity on this one.

 

[Only_in_f1]

3 weeks ago I was 5th, now 11th changes needed.

 

[DQuaN]

And I am awesome! lol

 

[Dave A]

Drunk perhaps.

Anyhow, I'm not doing to good, so I've made a few changes.

 

[Only_in_f1]

Same, all 5.

 

[Alex.]

from starting last I've managed to get upto 8th, 2 points behind <_Spike_>

Congratulations to Dunc (DQuaN) for winning the league!​

And a hearty round of applause for Stu (my old mate, and not a member of GTP!) for running him a close second.... and a muted ripple of claps to me for coming third

Omnis was the next best GTPer, in 5th place, behind Nina (friend of Stu/me), the top finishing lady in 4th place, after an incredibly close race for the UEFA Cup slot!!. Jess (DQuaN's other half) finished off a great showing for the ladies by coming in 6th, and Alex. did well to start so late but finish in the top half of the table 👍

Spec., Famine and MarkT are all relegated, and face playing their fantasy football in Division II next year

Here's the final table!

1) Waldemar Wonderers (DQuaN) - 480 CHAMPIONS!
2) Vlad's Leaky Wallet (Stu) - 449
3) Athletico Turismo (Touring Mars) - 411
-----------------------------
4) Wotsis Mark II (Nina) - 389
5) FC Omnis (Omnis) - 387
6) Red Red Wine (Jess/DQuaN) - 387
7) Speed FC (Alex.) - 375
8) From Blue To White (<_Spike_>) - 352
9) Amateur Cult (Only_in_f1) - 340
10) Tuggerah United (Jimmy Enslashay) - 336
11) South Manchester United (Dave A) - 320
12) Manchester Menace (Sting) - 316
------------------------------
13) Hoof Hearted (Specialized) - 311
14) Real Turismo (Famine) - 281
15) Smokey Emotions FC (MarkT) - 246

 

[DQuaN]

Ha! I completely forgot about that game! Still, I had a good team in place to earn me the points without having to do much.

Well played all.

 

[Alex.]

Well played everyone, and thanks TM 👍
