Overall Rank 2015/2016

Post by **Stemania** » 12 May 2016, 15:00

Some great progress by FISOers above - 11 in the top 1k now, great stuff.

Up to 4,175 for me, finally breaking that 5k barrier for the first time in this torture of a season. Relief more than anything if I can cling on.

Way less succesful season for FISO compared to the previous one. So the common trend this season has been that on average good managers have done worse, while casual managers have done better.

Yes, I think we'll see that from fpldiscovery's end of year data too - a much higher "% in the top 10k for the first time" than usual is anticipated as far as I recollect. A weird old season thanks to Leicester etc.

Not that "in the top 10k for the first time" is a definite indicator of not being a 'serious/good manager', but certainly a possible indicator.

Apologies if I've missed it somewhere obvious, but does anyone know the site can tell you how many points you are off the top 10k? I think I remember doing that somewhere and I'd like to know what chance I have this weekend!

Thanks. 28 points off top 10k, not very likely to break in. Might beat my best ever OR of 18,000 at least.

Post by **Aldershot Rejects** » 12 May 2016, 15:42

Down to 14k, poor last 3 weeks has probably cost me a top 10k finish. Very frustrating.

Exact same as you Notned, cracked 100k lastnight for the first time all season.
Sitting at 95k and hoping I can hang on for one more week. Will be a reasonably pleasing end to a pretty disappointing season if I do.

I'm not in their league, but toiling in my humble backyard, it took me almost two full seasons to first crack the top 100k

Especially the first half of the season was constant struggling for most of us. I've finally managed to get some kind of grip and my overall rank will most likely be better than last year, which is a miracle considering how bad season I was having.

Post by **liquidfootball2** » 12 May 2016, 17:20

I'm afraid I've had a very disappointing season indeed, right down around 30k now and pretty much lost interest a few weeks back.

Congratulations to fiso's Ridley mtb currently 47th after finishing 121st last year, he must be the best ranked in the world over the last two years.

Yes very impressive from Ridley. He was 7th in live FFS HOF last time it was updated, but that's a few weeks ago now and his rank has improved since then, so would expect him to rise further.

This season has been a bit of a grind for me. I knew it was unlikely to be anything like last season, but I had hoped I'd have been close to top 10k a bit earlier. I'll probably finish there now (outside chance of top 5k), but it was looking unlikely at one point. Assuming I stay in the top 10k I'll be pleased with my season, and very pleased if I make 5k.

Seems quite a few regulars haven't really enjoyed this season so much, and are thinking of quitting. I'll admit to having found this season a bit unenjoyable at times too, but unlike some I'm looking forward to a new season for a fresh start (I started this season really poorly both in terms of rank and TV - avoided Mahrez for far too long). I'm looking forward to (hopefully) having a decent start and not having to make up so much ground.

Imagine what it's like for us rookies

I'd like to know what a normal season feels like. I wonder if my OR would be better or worse.

Post by **ianthegirth** » 12 May 2016, 18:11

for the first time in four seasons i am now inside the top 30K. Mainly thanks to the last 9 gameweeks having two top 10,000 placings.

96k for me mate, and you've pretty much echoed my sentiments too. Part of me feels like I should play it safe, the other part thinks well a hit or two just for the fun of it wouldn't hurt either..

Post by **RidleyMTB** » 12 May 2016, 20:36

Thanks guys

I'm as stuck as the rest of you on what to do this week. I never thought a final GW would have so many appealing options with a large reluctance to let any of my squad go due to the points potential and how the fixtures have panned out.

I'm in the same boat as you guys. Broke 100k for the first time this week, and now sat at 74k. I've not hugely enjoyed this season. I've given a lot of time to my team, read FISO regularly, reasoned everything out as best I could, but have constantly been on the wrong side of decisions.

It's been a fun run-in though. I'm now just seven points behind a ML leader who I'd previously written off as uncatchable, so to win that would be a sweet, sweet end to an otherwise painful season. Playing AoA this week with a fairly monstrous midfield (though no Kun) so I guess I've got a shot at top 50k if I have a good week. That would be mega. If not, I'll be pleased to have finished in the top 100k, especially since 10 GWs ago I was languishing at 500k.

I'll look forward to next season though. Couldn't imagine quitting and would be interested to hear Mav's thoughts now the season is just about over.

Post by **The Username** » 13 May 2016, 10:59

After a horiffic first 16 weeks marked by injuries (almost three every week) ive clawed my up to 160k from 2.7mill in Gw 15.

In some ways its been more fun then sustaining a top 50k rank and trying to break the top 10k.

same boat, only 6p overall behind you

except I've 28p lead in my ML, but have to make up 7p to beat the drop from PL in the Fiso Divisionals sidegame
I haven't a "mosntruous" midfiles as not having built up enough TV duiring the season, my 5th mid is Antonio in place of your KDB
I was thinking to upgrade him, but low budget, lame options

which comes to: aren't you worried Firmino will be rested for the EL final?
that would make the AOA moot... and fall back to the second option:

This week's transfer is Firmino to Tadic. Then hopefully my front eight all start.

Fffix top 5K predicts, this will definitely be my best ranking since the six years that I play fantasyfootball.

Mission accomplished. A good final week sees me finish at 76,356, and with a final score (2,169) that corresponds pleasingly with my team ID (169).

36k... acheived my goal of 100k and ultimate goal of 50k

only my 2nd season, I'll take it.

Pleased with overall rank 4,057, but slightly annoyed that I was higher before I used my wildcard/chips from GW 33 onwards!

Post by **Aldershot Rejects** » 18 May 2016, 07:37

Finished just inside the top 15k but ended with 3 red arrows which is a pretty disappointing end to the season having fought so hard to pull it back from a slow start.
