2024/2025 €50 Draft League H2H

fplfan12345

Taking names now for this.

€450 for the winner and €50 for the highest weekly score over the course of the whole season

Will give it a few weeks to allow lasts year’s participants a chance to sign up before opening it up to everyone else. 

CSF will be collecting the funds. 

Draft day and time to be arranged but it’s preliminary set for the Tuesday after the transfer window closes and the time will be 10.30pm. That’s 22.30 folks. 

The rules for ties are as follows - 

In the event of a tie, whoever has the most overall weekly H2H wins is declared the winner. If that is also a tie then their actual H2H’s, against each other, are counted. If it is still tied then the combined scores in those weekly H2H’s will determine the winner. Finally, overall score we be used if teams are still not separated. 

This is the purest form of FPL so if you haven’t played before I suggest you give it a whirl.

10 entrants only.

In an effort to keep managers engaged (after they’ve stopped playing because they can’t win the league) we are giving €50 to the best weekly score achieved so you have a reason to put out a competitive team every week for the whole season.

Finally, When setting up our team name on the draft website can we use our boards name for our team name so we can easily identify each other.

Dearg81

Yea I'm in. Thanks for getting the ball rolling.

patmac

Captaingoal

There is a chance to join if anyone drops out from last year.

This comp doesn’t kick off until early September so no panic just yet.

degan55

Cheers fplfan - I'll join again this year. Will send payment through now.

Trimm Trabb

I’ll be in again.

Just a word on the €50 to keep players interested - should we not include double gameweeks to make sure it’s an attainable high score?

Or maybe make it that it’s the highest score in the last 10 gameweeks (not including DGWs) or something like that so it actually works to keep people playing at the business end of the season?

Dearg81

Yea agreed although one of my mates told me that there won't be big double game weeks anymore. Something about fa cup not having replays.

fplfan12345

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122406735#Comment_122406735

Yep. All good suggestions. I assume we’ll incorporate those ideas and any others that make sense.

CSF

I’ve started getting money in from people.

Apologies, I’ve been slower with everything this year with Shels on the road in Europe.

3 questions

1. is the league created yet?
2. Have we fully decided on the terms of that bonus prize?
3. Are we starting in week 1 or after the transfer window closes?

fplfan12345

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122420310#Comment_122420310

1. Yes and I will share the code with you now via pm.
   
2. No we haven’t but we have time on our side for good suggestions. Currently, it will be the highest score obtained in a GW (not including DGW’s) but we have yet to decide what GW to start that. Maybe the highest GW score starting from GW 25, for example.
   
3. We are not starting for GW 1. We start in GW 4. We can also arrange a date for the draft because the international break is between GW 3 and GW 4 so we can push the draft out to around the 11th or 12th of September.
   
   it’s a democratic process here lads so if you have something to suggest …..

gerp99

yeah I’ll join again, thanks

Have seen a couple express interest above, so PM me to sort payment, or send it on if you already have my details

Mcnage01

I'll play. How do I send payment?

Just seen I need to pm CSF!

fplfan12345

lads, I’m proposing a change of day/date for the draft.

It’s currently scheduled for the international break so we can push it to Thursday the 12th of September at 22.30 if that is ok with everyone ?

CSF

Date is fine for me

Paid up below:

Would Friday 13th at 22.30 suit you?

I’ll sort payment in next few days.

fplfan12345

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122483259#Comment_122483259

I’m fairly flexible on that.

My reasoning was to let the first and maybe even second of the internationals finish so we’d know of any big injuries.

My only concern with the Friday is that it’s only one day before deadline so we couldn’t rearrange if there were any technical issues (as unlikely as that is). I also assumed the majority would possibly be socialising on a Friday night.

Again, I’m easy and happy to go with the majority. I think any night that week is ok for me including the Friday.

CSF

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122483259#Comment_122483259

Friday evenings are a no go for me

fplfan12345

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122483259#Comment_122483259

So would the Wednesday suit you better ?

Trimm Trabb

Nah let’s stick with the Thursday if that’s still good with everyone.

mirwillbeback

is there any spaces left ?

CSF

There are

fplfan12345

would team name ‘One Tchouaméni’ change their team name to their boards username ?

It just makes things easier for proposed transfers. Cheers.

mirwillbeback

In, money sent CSF

CSF

Funds received, will send code on today

mirwillbeback

Mings definitely my 1st pick again this season :)

What could have been if not for the ACL

fplfan12345

A reminder to change your team name to your boards name.

9 entered and paid.

One spot left.

Draft happening in about 2 weeks.

patmac

I’m in Italy on holidays next week, I should be ok, so I will do a watchlist and build up some serious amount of brownie points in the meantime.

Trimm Trabb

Just sent over funds there now, looking forward to it.

fplfan12345

Draft is this day next week @ 22.30

Please remember to change team name to your boards.ie username

fplfan12345

Also, an adjustment to the OP.

So we will be paying $50 to the highest individual gameweek score (not including double gameweeks) from GW 26 onwards.

This is an effort to keep everyone interested right up to the final gameweek.

I’ve just randomly chosen GW 26. If there is a better suggestion then speak up.

CSF

Reminder that this is tomorrow

mirwillbeback

is this a zoom call or just log in to fpl

fplfan12345

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122606482#Comment_122606482

Log into draft FPL.

It might be advisable to have seperate bookmark for draft.

I assume you’ve entered the league already ? Would be handy if you could change your team name to your boards user name.

fplfan12345

I’ve set the picks to 60 seconds.

I can change if someone feels strongly about it.

mirwillbeback

im in the league, but no idea how to change team name. Im in as bishis ballers, happy to change.

Can i just get Haaland and Salah and then leave the rest to you all?

Trimm Trabb

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122606846#Comment_122606846

I did one recently and we managed with 30 seconds but heart rate was up by the end of it.

Is there an option for 45?

The only problem is someone forgets or can’t make it the clock runs for the full time before making the auto pick for them.

fplfan12345

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122607436#Comment_122607436

Unfortunately it is 30, 60, 90 and 120 second intervals.

Iirc the clock only run down once and next time, on that player, it auto picks quickly unless they move the mouse or click ‘I’m back’ or the like.

I think 30 is too quick and especially for any stoners 😁.

CSF

Hour and a half away

fplfan12345

I don’t want 2nd pick as I think I’d have to go for Salah but I don’t like the guy.

patmac

10th pick and having a few scoops in Lake Garda, I missed 3&4 so glad I did a watch list.
