TIEBREAKER SCENARIOS

Group Stage

• If teams are level on points at the end of the group stage, tiebreaker will be points difference

- If teams are level on points difference, tiebreaker will be head to head results between those 2 teams (if both teams won 1 game each, aggregate scores count).

- If more than 2 teams are tied on points, points won in matches between the 3 tied teams will come into play. If still level, aggregate scores in matches involving just those 3 teams come into play.

- If still tied after the above scenarios, the team with the highest FPL overall rank will win the tiebreak.

Knockout Stage

- 1. COMBINED CAPTAIN & VICE CAPTAIN SCORES across the two legs

2. TOTAL GOALS SCORED by all selected players in the 2 legged ties (including all chips so bench boost goals count, regular captain goals worth double, triple captain goals worth triple etc.)

3. If still tied, TOTAL ASSISTS by all selected players in the 2 legged ties (including all chips so bench boost assists count, regular captain assists worth double, triple captain assists worth triple etc.)

4. Sum of all CAPTAIN TOTALS in the 2 legged ties (triple captain will also count in this)

5. Fewest RED&YELLOW card points by all selected players in the 2 legged ties (including all chips so bench boost cards count, regular captain cards worth double, triple captain cards worth triple etc.) based on my disciplinary points system

- yellow card = 1 point

- regular captain yellow card = 2 points

- triple captain yellow card = 3 points

- red card = 3 points

- regular captain red card = 6 points

- triple captain red card = 9 point

Failing that - OR

Lost in the archives of time. Living on past glories.

I’ll join again and dominate the group stages before being beaten in the quarter-finals like the last few years.

I'll have to dig deep into the boards forum (may take awhile with the vanilla setup 😂) to find the earlier Champions League winners. I think I ran it for 1, maybe 2 years.

Count me in for this competition Green&Red. PM on the payment details 👍

Not sure what's going on here.

Refund my payment please

Xander10

Don't understand how you didn't get it. I'll contact PayPal to sort it being returned to my account.

Green&Red

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122736126#Comment_122736126

I've sent you a DM on this so I'm not sure why you're making it sound like I've pocketed your money by asking for a refund.

This is the screenshot I sent you showing payments into my paypal, ACE and fplfan payments received, nothing from you.

For the record I DM'd you on Sept 30th looking for payment for this but you left it until yesterday to do that. It makes it incredibly hard to arrange a competition like this when people drag their feet on payment.

And if your counter argument is that you were always going to pay then have a look at this thread for the 22/23 version of this competition where you and another signed up and then ghosted when it came to payment.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122736365#Comment_122736365

For 22/23 I was the paid up runner up.

Not accusing you of anything. Clearly it's stuck in the Cloud or something and I will contact PayPal.

Like I explained a few times my account is showing the funds transferred to you.

Good luck to all playing.

Green&Red

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122736664#Comment_122736664

You were runner up last year, 22/23 you signed up but didn't follow through. I've no doubt you did pay up yesterday evening and its just a glitch in paypal but maybe in future pay up earlier
