2014-2015 Boards FSA Champions Cup

Lemlin

The competition
The Boards FSA Champions Cup, known simply as the FSA Champions Cup to some, is an annual continental fantasy football competition organised by Lemlin. It is one of the most prestigious fantasy football tournaments in the world and the most prestigious fantasy club competition in Irish fantasy football.

The entrants:
64 teams seeded into pots of four and drawn into 16 groups of 4 in a fight to the death until only one remains.

Roll of honour:
2012-2013: Pokerking
2013-2014: Boots234
2014-2015: ?

The fixtures:

Match 1 - GW22
Match 2 - GW23
Match 3 - GW24
Match 4 - GW25
Match 5 - GW26
Match 6 - GW27
GW28 will be for any potential play offs.

Round of 32 (2 legs) - GW29 & 30
Round of 16 (2 legs) - GW31 & 32
Quarter Final (2 legs) - GW33 & 34
Semi Final (2 legs) - GW35 & 36
Final x 1 - GW38

You get 3 points for a win and one for a draw as per a normal football table in the group stages. Groups will always be sorted in 4 teams. 2 teams from each group will go through to the knockout stage.

Rules:

1. Like the actual Champions League, teams will be seeded for the draw so everyone will need to provide their rank from last year. They will also be seeded in the first part of the second round knockout stage, just like the CL. From there on, its open draw. I think seeding based on last year alone is the fairest way to do it as some people are playing longer than others.
2. The closing date for entries will be Sunday 11th January at 12 midnight.
3. If two teams are equal on points after the group stages, like the CL it goes to head to head record against each other (e.g. who won the most of their two games against each other). If both won one game against each other, then there'll be a final play off round in Gameweek 28. This will not go to aggregate scores between their two games.
4. From the second round onwards, games will be aggregate based over two gameweeks like the real CL.
5. For future rules we need, I will try to go with general consensus and what people want but if agreement can't be reached then the mods (FutureGuy and Nody) have final say, unless a decision directly involves them if they enter.

Thanks a Million Lemilin for putting this together. Serious amount of work involved!!

Just a quick question, are hits deducted from your GW score?

My GW1 opponent (FrClint Power) has a seriously strong team and OR, in fact I have just realised he is the guy chasing me on the Athletics/Running forum league table!!

Yeah they are, you should make loads against me to put yourself in good shape to face the other opponents in the 2nd series of games.

Well, you've a 54 point lead on me at the moment, so it'll be an uphill struggle to overtake you in the A/R league!

Regarding hits, I presume they are?

And re dahat's question on having links to each team, I've bookmarked the teams in the groups I'm going to be looking after, but does anyone know if there's a way of bookmarking them without specifying the gameweek? At the moment the bookmarks all lead to GW21 so I'll keep having to manually edit the GW each time......

Quick query regarding playoffs :

I assume it's the same scenario in a 3-way or even 4-way playoff? Provided they've all taken points off each other, there could be 3 teams vying for one spot, or even 4 teams aiming for 2 spots.

It might be an idea to lay down a final separator for ANY of the playoffs before a ball is kicked.

4 way sudden death play-off to the death decided via death match. Only solution.

I know people have volunteered already and everything, but would it be an idea to get one person from each group to create a mini h2h league for the 4 players in their group?

Get it to start at gw X and finish gw Y? Even for just the group stages.

Was thinking it would be an easier way to do it alright. Make it easier to quickly work out scores.

jimmii

So who is up for doing the last longer Kev suggested?

JR6

Would make it much easier alright when it comes to working out the hits taken. It would remove any chance of error.

FPL will auto set fixtures though so it wouldn't match up. I'm also already in the max number of leagues

It would just save a few clicks really going through 8 teams probably won't take too long but might mean a few delays if the person doing that league is busy on a Sunday/Monday night. No reason someone else can't step if need be I guess.

Ziegler1988

Yeah I already added my opponents to the Rivals section of Differential FPL app so it's easy for me to keep track. I'll post updates on my group to help out FrClintPower.
