What do people think of this payout structure? (assuming no more entries)

League winner: 500
League runner-up: 200
League 3rd place: 100
Cup winner: 200
Cup runner-up: 50

20 paid up, 2 lads with money on the way. So should be 22 runners. So an extra 50 euros there. League winner with 550 {half the 1100 pot} could be the job. I'd be happy enough with that breakdown Spock.

Looking forward to it. 

Prize structure looks very fair !!

Mokuba

Just paid up there - think payout structure is very fair.

I intend to use this thread fairly frequently for discussion/banter related stuff too.

P.Walnuts

Agree with the payouts being on point!

Best of luck to all, second place is up for grabs!!

McBain11

So total pot of 1100 euros. Similar to Spocks original payout, a breakdown like this :

League winner: 550
League runner-up: 200
League 3rd place: 100
Cup winner: 200
Cup runner-up: 50

If there is a majority out there that want a different split, let it be known asap. Otherwise we'll truck on with this.

Sounds good to me regarding the prizes

As a Leeds fan the FPL at least give me a reason to watch the Prem.

I like the Cup winner get 4 times as much as the runner up.

I don't like league winner only getting 2.5 times as much as league runner up and Cup winner.

I think the rewards for winning should be bigger in general.

So I'd suggest no prize money for 3rd in league and that 100 going to league winner.

McBain11

So :

League winner: 650
League runner-up: 200

Cup winner: 200
Cup runner-up: 50


Whichever pot split lads give the most thumbs up to, I'm ok with lads. I'd probably slightly prefer this one. Think the league winner getting a bigger pot is always nice. Majority rules.

Well I'm delighted none of you had Vardy anyways. The little things !!!!

I had Vardy and changed my last draft at the last minute to get Kane in. The joys of it :rolleyes:

Personally i think its good having a third place, 550 is still a good prize for first, and its good to have people around 4th,5th,6th battling to finish 3rd. but I'm happy with whatever.

Will try and park the prize pot situation in the next couple of weeks. Don't want be half way through the season and still not sure of what positions take what amounts of money. So I'll put up the 2 options and anyone who wants either just give it a thumbs up and I'll edit the list accordingly. Majority rules then.

I've made the list below. If anyone is on the wrong list, no panic I'll edit it. I'll also send Pms to everyone when I get a chance, just so everyone has their say on the prize pot split.

League winner: 650

2 - i dont need 650 - give hundred to someone else

timbel

Option 2 preferred for me anyway

SteelyDanJalapeno

Option 1 for me

Will be an interesting insight (or will it) on the Irish zeitgeist as to whether we reward success or participation.

I'd guess the younger generation have been brought up to reward participation.

McBain11

Pms sent out to all. Deadline for the vote on the pot breakdown is the start of FPL gameweek 3.

This vote is almost as exciting as the actual game itself :-)

normanoffside

Option 1 for me.

I do find it more interesting to see which demographic attempts to influence others during a democratic process.

Usually find the younger generation leave the elders to make up their own mind.

Ha. Ya think I was playing psychology ?

Wamble

Option 1 looks good.

Lamper.sffc

I think thats one of the best starts I have ever had. Which probably means im in for a sh1t season.

Not one of the younger generation myself but option 2 keeps it interesting for more for longer. Hate it when half the league stop trying because there is nothing to play for later in the season. I think it keeps up the competition. Which is what a personally like.

Maybe without knowing, and not to the standard of Conor Mc Gregor - but seems to have worked on wamble!!

I wasn't. I just think it's takes dedication to win a league and that should be rewarded as much as possible.

I'll happily run a winner takes all €50 league next year.
