Gonna jump on the Mahrez bandwagon for a bit. I keep thinking I'm going to dump Ivanovic, but I'll probably give him one more chance.

There is no way that guy can keep up that productivity (is what I keep saying to myself each week that goes by that I don't pick him up).
I agree, but a midfielder with his current form at his current price with his upcoming fixtures makes him too much of a good thing to not have right now, IMO.
I'm doing OK, the table hasn't updated yet, but I'm sitting at 3-0-1 even though my most expensive player for all 4 weeks has been Harry "Sophomore Slump" Kane. I the smaller squads compared to MLS. There's less need to hold onto useless players who never play but take up few dollars. I don't like the 1 transfer per week rule, which makes it hard to do anything. Haven't used my Wildcard or any other bonus features yet. Not sure how to gauge when to do so.
This past weekend 3/4 of my defenders all conceded within the first 15 minutes of their respective matches, Redmond from Norwich was neutered by his team going down to nine men, Aguero didn't score, Diouf didn't score partly because Stoke went down to ten men, and naturally Ayew had a goal and an assist for Swansea the week I swapped him for Mahrez, who was subbed out at the half.
So basically my weekend was a hilarious disappointment. 30 points, 22 fewer than the previous game week. Currently 13th in our league with a 2-0-2 record and 154 points going into the international break.

Any chance I could join?
Or have I missed the boat - numbers wise ?

another premier league fantasy season in the can . . . how'd everyone do?
I qualified for Europa League (5th) . . . just a point from 4th and 3 points from 3rd.

Right now I'm in 15th place with an 18...2...17... record for 56 points and a total score of 1,775. Since I have a 16 point lead on my opponent in this the last round, it looks like those numbers will improve a bit.
I really dug myself into a hole at the beginning of the season, because I loaded up on Chelsea players. Figuring it would only be a matter of time before they broke out, I stuck too long with them and was never able to recover.
Well TBH, I really wasn't going anywhere to begin with and I had to go 10...2...3 over the past 15 weeks just to get over the .500 mark.
With all due respects to everyone, if I start (and I probably will) a forum Fantasy League next season, I'm going to cap it at 20. I don't know if those extra teams we had made a difference or not, but 20 will be the magic number.

I am a perfectly mediocre 12th with a chance of moving up 1 or 2 places after today. I also dug an early hole. I had Kane as my expensive striker and he scored 1 goal in the first 10 matches. I know I sold him before he started his run. I went in heavy on MC defense after their great first 4 games. Oops. My upside came when I decided to take a chance on early inexpensive high performers Vardy, Mahrez and Ighalo. They kept producing and I used the money saved to bolster the rest of the roster. I'm sure I wasn't alone, though.
This last week was such a typical Fantasy experience. Multiple players out, I had to take a -4 hit to field a full 11 including a keeper as both my keepers were out. I took Loris, figuring Newcastle will fold so bad the Spurs will finally pull out of their funk. I would have done better not to field a goalkeeper.
