Too late mate. Keith has paid the deposit for his Cup Winners open top bus tour. :ROFLMAO:

Fantastic result for you last week. It has blown us out of the water.

Stop trying to jinx me!! lol

It'll be tough for me to beat you this round as we have some similar players and you've used the BB. Looking like I need Virgil, Bruno and Diaz to shake things up!

Doesn't really matter. You only need 4 points to be sure of winning the h2h and I can't catch you any way. I'm fighting to retain second place in the league.

Mmmm you’re closer to 1st than 3rd
 
Banished to Riyadh(42) are still top, but their lead from Chambolica Charente(65) is reduced to 21 points.

Klopp-Slot Booms!(46) remain in 3rd, though they have fallen 46 points behind Chambolica Charente, and are joined in joint 3rd by Fiendishly Bad!!!(52).

Amber Army(54) stay 5th a further 52 points behind.

Chambolica Charente were highest scorer of the week with 65 points. :clap:

The average point score for the week was 47.

There are no early games this weekend, so the deadline for making changes is Sat 10th May @13:30.

In the Head2Head league, leader New Oak Utd lost their match up with Chambolica Charente 33-65. They retain their 9 point lead at the top because 2nd placed Banished to Riyadh lost their H2H with Fiendishly Bad!!! 42-52.

3rd placed Klopp-Slot Boom!, who were on equal points with Chambolica Charente, are still on equal points after losing to Biggin Bangers 46-50. Also still on the same points in 4th are Woody's wonders, who also lost, against Amber Army 48-54. :oops: :$

Chambolica Charente's win keeps them in 5th, and moves to 1 point behind the next three teams above. Fiendishly Bad!!!'s win keeps the on the same points as Chambolica Charente in 6th.

horspath hounds beat AVERAGE 48-41. Next to take on AVERAGE are Banished to Riyadh. Nоспехаў. ;)
Next gameweek could be the decisive week to crown the winner, as with a 9 point lead, if New Oak Utd with the match up Penfold's Dangermice, they will retain their 9 point lead regardless of what the next three teams do, with then only 6 points left to play for.

Unless Chambolica Charente and Fiendishly Bad!!! draw with each other, one with go ahead of the other.

Well, I more than halved the deficit using BB. 21 points behind with three games to go looks do-able on paper. However, this has been a very strange season for a lot of players (not just you Keith). :p

Loads of people are beating their best ever scores, but are way down in the rankings. I honestly thing that we have to play the second half of the season differently to the first half. Once the European competitions start we can expect far more injuries and rotation in the clubs affected. I will be looking at bringing in more players from outside this season's top 6 clubs after the half way stage next time around. And we might get a surprise 4th place promotion if Citeh get their just desserts.

Best of luck for the weekend (except B2R) (y)

Obviously all that matters to me now is the H2H, it has been an odd one that I did so well in that considering how low down I am in the main league. But it does give thoese of us who are not so football savvy a side chance, which I like.

I’m miles off on both, 300 points and a million places in the rankings. Absolutely shocking season for me

It could all be rescued in the H2H though if I win the last 3 and Keith loses all his!!!

Oh! I thought I needed one more win? I guess best anyone can do is level on points now but I'll win with less losses?

A draw will be enough to seal it. Given your number of points in the league compared with those who could theoretically catch you, that point is vital. No pressure then :ROFLMAO:

Again, to be fair [to me!] After a certain period I stopped caring about the main league and thought nothing of risking points to just win the H2H each time ;)

The first half of the season was bad for me. I was in the bottom half of the table and about 120 points behind you. However a combination of the chips and good luck makes it close at the top. 21 points can disappear very quickly.

I wouldnt be surprised if the Chosen Ones had a blinding final 3 games and topped the league on the last day! Not willing to put any money on it though.

I wouldn't if I were you. I've been consistent this season, consistently bad. I am 3rd from bottom in both leagues (there's the consistency ;)), and in the H2H league one of them below me is AVERAGE. :oops: :$ :LOL:

Chips are something I need to do better with. Last year I fluked a shed load of points with tc Haaland, but historically I forget to plan them into the schedule.
 
Having reached my season points target any points scored from now on are a bonus for me.... League positions weren't my main target so will be interesting to see where I end up in my first season with you lot!!!
 
Banished to Riyadh's(43) lead at the top of the league from Chambolica Charente(53) has been reduced to 11 points with two weeks to go. Klopp-Slot Boom!(54) are still 3rd, 1 point closer, now 42 points behind Chambolica Charente.

Fiendishly Bad!!!(42) were 3rd, on equal points with Klopp-Slot Boom!, but drop back to 4th, now 22 points behind.

Amber Army(37) are still 5th, and drop a bit further behind Klopp-Slot Boom! to 57 points, but are now just 6 points ahead of Woody's wonders who were the highest scorer of the week with 73 points. :clap:

The average point score for the week was 43.

There are two Friday games this week, so the deadline for making changes is Fri 16th May @18:00.

In the Head2Head league, leader New Oak Utd's lead has been reduced to 6 points after losing their match up with 34-64 against Penfold's Dangermice. There is a 6 point lead with 2 gameweeks to go. :) It's still alive! :D

Woody's wonders beat horspath hounds 73-43, and move up into 2nd place. Chambolica Charente move up to 3rd, one point behind, after winning against Fiendishly Badd!!! 53-42. It is only Woody's wonders who have a chance to win against New Oak Utd. :thinking:

Banished to Riyadh drew with AVERAGE 43-43. :oops: :$ And drop to positions to 4th, one point behind Chambolica Charente. Klopp-Slot Boom! also drop two places, still one point behind Banished to Riyadh, after losing 54-56 against Mrs Smith's Boys.

Next to take on AVERAGE are Asteriskter Citeh*. Gum ma be. ;)

I have just noticed that there is a bottom of the table clash this next gameweek, as Warrington Town and I go H2H, with the loser being last real team. There is 1 point between us, with me on top atm, and amazingly we both have the same number of accumulated game points atm too. :oops: :$ :LOL:

I noticed that too, but obviously didn't want to draw attention to your lowly position :p

Its tight at the top, the bottom and in't cup. Best of luck to everyone for the run in!
 
I bought Vardy early in the week, for his last home game, but forgot there was some Friday games until I logged on to sort my team out and the game week was already underway!….. my captain is still KDB from last week which is ok I guess, but my newly acquired Vardy is on the bench as I hadn’t moved him into the starting 11!!! Sums up this season :headbang::ROFLMAO:
 
AS I expected it's gonna be down to the last match up in the H2H! I got ass whooped last round, and well behind this time out too, makes it exciting :D

Looks like you'll win by default this week Keith. (y)

The bottom places also seems to be determined unless Redhed17 can pull something special from the bag next week.

But at the top I reckon that it is too close to call :argue:

Yeah I hadn't actually checked in on Woody's, but they do still have some players to go this eve, and Salah as captain where their opp doesn't
 
Well done Keith. Your race is won! (y)

Most of the rest of us are still sweating over next Sunday's results.

Cheers :beer: I'm happy with that, got a bit lucky in that Woody's didn't have the best week , they scored same as I did in fact. I was expecting a nail bitter showdown!

Next season I might try a bit harder to climb a bit more in the league but will want to hold the H2H title :D
 
Banished to Riyadh's lead at the top is reduced to one point :oops: :$ after they got 36 points, and Chambolica Charente get 46. So the winner of the league goes down to the last week! :)

Klopp-Slot Boom(57) are potentially still in it, 31 points further back in 3rd, but need to have a very good week, and the top two slip. ;)

Fiendishly Bad!!!(53) are still 4th, and pull away a bit more from now, Woody's wonders(37), who move up to 5th.

Highest scorer of the week was Mrs Smith's Boys with 58. :clap:

The average point score for the week was 39.

Next week is obviously the final gameweek of the season, with all the games starting at 16:00 on Sunday, and so the deadline for making changes is Sun 25th May @14:30.

As has been mentioned above, New Oak Utd have won the Head2Head league with one game to go
:clap::clap::clap::banana:despite losing against Mrs Smith's Boys 33-58.

Chambolica Charente move up to 2nd, six points behind top spot after drawing with horspath hounds 46-46, and are on equal points with Klopp-Slot Boom! who won against Fiendishly Bad!!! 57-53, and move up to 3rd.

With their loss against tarric terrors 37-44, Woody's wonders are also on equal points with Chambolica Charente and horspath hounds, but drop to 4th on accumulated gameweek points.

5th placed Banished to Riyadh are still two points behind Woody's wonders after losing their H2H against Biggin Bangers 36-48.

Klopp-Slot Boom! and Woody's wonders go H2H, but positions 2-5 are all subject to change on the last gameweek.

Asteriskter Citeh* beat AVERAGE 50-39. :clap:

The last team to take on AVERAGE are Mrs Smith's Boys. Aigh mie. ;)

Its all down to around five players depending on selection. Looks like Saliba is out and Isak doubtful so Chris has more selection issues than me. But it depends on who are on the beach. We won't know until Sunday afternoon.
 
And so we have the final standings of the TalkPhotography FFL 24/25, and the winner is, as mentioned above, ;) after a last week change, Chambolica Charente. :clap: :clap::clap::banana::banana::banana:

Chambolica Charente got 72 points in the last gameweek, and move to top spot ahead of Banished to Riyadh who got 56, and that led to a winning margin of just 15 points. So glad it has gone down to the wire this season, here, but thankfully not in real life. ;):LOL:

Klopp-Slot Boom!(41) finish 3rd, Fiendishly Bad!!!(46) don't live up to their name by finishing 4th, and Amber Army(68) move up to 5th place on the last gameweek.

Highest scorer of the week was Warrington Town with 83 points. :clap:

The average point score for the week was 46.

Thanks to everyone who took part this season, and hopefully you all will join again next season. :clap:

In the Head2Head league, the winner was already determined as New Oak Utd were already crowned winners.
:clap:


And good job too, as New Oak Utd lost their last H2H with me 44-62. ;) Maybe like Liverpool, their focus was no longer on the league after winning it.
:LOL:


That result means that at the end New Oak Utd only win by 3 points after Chambolica Charente beat Biggin Bangers 72-55. Woody's wonders beat Klopp-Slot Boom!, to swap places with them to go into 3rd on equal points as Chambolica Charente. Klopp-Slot Boom! are 4th. 3 points behind.

Banished to Riyadh lost to Penfold's Dangermice 56-59, but stay in 5th position, 2 points behind, but ahead of Tarric Terrors who are on the same points, after beating horspath hounds 70-47, but behind on accumulated game points.

Mrs Smith's Boys lost to AVERAGE 34-46. :(

Thanks to all those who took part in the Head2Head league, hope to see you again next season.

Winner New Oak Utd demonstrates more than any other season that you can do well in the this league when you may not do the best in the main league. New Oak Utd finish top of this league, but finish 1 point ahead of me, third from bottom. And look how different our positions are in this league. :oops: :$:ROFLMAO:
