21/22 FSA League 2 Signup Thread

CSF

Hi all, we're back for the eighth annual running of the Boards FSA leagues.

I've PMed the code for the league. Please don't post the code here for obvious reasons.

The deadline for all signups is 7th August 2021 at 23:59, no exceptions.

Please keep chat to a minimum here to make the admin task easier. A post with just your team ID will suffice.

Please note: For those new to this forum or these leagues, this is a league which had to be qualified for in the previous FPL season and new entries are not being taken right now.

Further details about qualifying for these leagues will be posted in the coming weeks.

Good luck everyone.

SEORG and thepoet85 have been sent 24 hour invitations to make room for the 2 people who have vacated up to League 1. Deadline for signup is tonight so there will be more spots available to those on top of the list after that.

CSF

Both posters above have missed the deadline. 4 spots available now (although another will come available later when someone leaves for League 1).

richieffff, Sideshow Mark,Father Hernandez, mailrewop are the posters who've been sent an invite with a 19:00 9/8/21 deadline

We're 6 down the list of 12 backups from the Qualifying League that Scorpion Sting had posted. My guess is that those 12 will be enough to fill the league (you're not on that list). I haven't completely figured out how I'll work it if there is still places left and I have nobody left from the list. That scenario does currently feel unlikely though.

Yeah my bad for not posting more than 12 backups. I have a screenshot of the Qualifying League table from last season so it shouldn’t be that hard to figure out which poster is which.

That'll help if it comes to it yeah. Not as if we could have seen the site crash coming anyway.

Avoid relegation by default LOL

Chancing my arm here !

If for whatever reason a spot becomes available, I would love to be considered 👍

Paddy_Irishman

I suppose seeing as others are posting looking for spots, I was in the qualifying league and finished roughly top 20 so if there are spots going and you can't fill with the short notice etc. I'm also available 👍.

I don't know how look back at that league table so hopefully Scorpion has that screen shot!

Kind of wondering how Xander10 got a spot in the league so fast, given he wasn't in the top 12, and you were at 6th place out of 12. somehow got through a min 6 players in 3 hours? when players are normally given 24 hours to respond?

I get how the league was set up, but just feel with so little traffic on here, it seems crap that some posters pop their head in once a year and sign up while other posters who might be hear regularly are stuck in the qualifier league - which anyone will tell you is notoriously difficult to get out of - probably a higher standard points wise than maybe league 1/2 winners or even higher. Some posters have sub 100 posters over 5/10 years, and don't offer anything to the boards community.

That happened as I was informed by Scorpion Sting that there had been an omission in the original list he compiled. I obviously wasn't involved in any of that myself, but Scorpion Sting is someone whose word I'd take quite quickly on something of that nature. Who do you think wasn't given 24 hours to respond? The extra place came up because dr.kenneth noisewater left League 2 this morning to take the final spot in League 1.

I get your other complaints, but in practical terms, how can I actually do anything about that while also trying to manage the absolute sh*tstorm that was sorting out signups this year?

Scorpion Sting

Yeah just to follow up on that I was PMed by Xander10 who let me know of an issue and how he should have been on the original list so that was rectified this morning.

Ace2007

It was just that you said he wasn't on the list of 12 back up's and then 3 hours later he was PM'd, just seemed very odd, but if it was an omission that's fair enough. Perhaps would have been an idea to say that in the thread originally as i'm sure i wasn't the only one thinking how did he get in.

I find it a little insulting for you to make comments like the above, as if because you have over 10k posts you are more entitled to enter into a league which myself and others have battled for years to try get out of. Or that by simply posting more posts in whatever form or threads, not even fantasy football, that you'd be a more deserving member of a free to enter league that is basically just for the competition sakes of fantasy football 🤣.

Just because people don't post in every thread or make a comment whenever they can doesn't make them less of a community forum user. Threads and discussions are there to be read, if every person who read a thread posted, you'd be buried in inane drivel with replies for the sake of replies.

There are many posters here in the fantasy football forum I'd recognize their name and before I start reading the comment I know what they are gonna say because it's what I'm thinking and reply to stuff the way I would have 2.

So let that stoke your fire to play extra well this year and get in the top 3 so you are out of the dregs with us 😈😂.

To be honest, given the amount of work in turning around something that was very close to being abandoned (and you'll have probably seen that there has been numerous sets of additional PMs required to fill each league, more than has ever been the case), I've definitely not been feeling like i had to explain/justify my every step, or that I'm 'answerable to the people'.

If people legitimately thought that there was something underhanded/not above board at play, they're probably not people I would be eager to have in my various leagues.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117728904#Comment_117728904

You might take offence but i wasn't directing it towards anyone as such, you yourself commented above stating that you would like to be in league 2, so not really sure how or why you offended given your not in any of the leagues in the first place?

Even some of the leagues themselves there is little chat in them, it's like sign up, and that's it - no craic, unless it's regularly posters that saying oh i'm playing x this week and it's close game. I would say there was less than 20 posts in the whole of last season in say League 2. You compare that to the LMS which is generally made up of active users - there are posts and thanks in that on a weekly basis and it's great craic - over a 1,000 posts last season. 50 times as many posts - that tells the story really imo.

I reckon that if a handful of poster here stopped posting that this forum would die within weeks, and then what would all those that just read do? if CSF didn't take over the leagues - would they have survived? There are other leagues/cups that a poster running it wants to hand the reigns over to someone else - but how many volunteer?

I was in the top ten. No foul play

Is there a qualifying league this year?

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117738843#Comment_117738843

I'm also still stuck in that qualifying league if it gets going. My team only tried to enter the league system last season, but still stuck at the first hurdle

Ninja Avenger

Less than 48 hrs to go to get league set up

CSF

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117739714#Comment_117739714

The league will be set up before the season starts, but people will have until August 31st to join up as usual.

Ninja Avenger

Great thanks 👍
