Ok, I rearranged a few things. Thanks for the hint that now 6 players from a country can be picked. For some reason I thought I read 4 players and picked only 4. But with your note, I changed my lineup again. Let's see if I can move up a bit in the world ranking

Final results shown below...Kudos to Ryan (Beer Lao) who pushed hard to the end. Good job I had a good 1st week as that was the only difference in the end.

So, Wilai wins another one

Only six in the comp...bit disappointed that some of the so called "experts" on here didn't have a bash themselves but never mind, there is always FPL next time. Out of the six, two of us reached the top 200 in the world...no mean feat given the number of sites available to help pick teams (assume Ryan wasn't using them?) There were about 25k entries in total. Winner averaged more than 80 points a round so was a tough crowd!!

Thanks guys....Wilai

1. Athletico Pathetico 510pts (#41 in world).....Wilai

2. Beer Lao................. ............... .488......(199 in world).....Ryan

Keep an eye on the sticky at the top of the forum. This season's FPL has just opened. There will be a Thai Visa league.
