Boards FSA Charity Champions League 16/17

FHFC

Hello all and welcome to the First Annual Boards FSA Charity CL.

A total of €660 has been raised through the generous donations of the 40 participants and one further no strings attached donation to the cause after the competition was closed. Full list of the payments except for that last one are here.

Now to business.

Busts has posted the draw - full list of group fixtures and the league tables can be found on this link and will remain there throughout the group stages.

FSA CHARITY CHAMPIONS LEAGUE WALL CHART

Anyone who has any difficulty accessing this let me know.

We are also looking for one person in each group to collate the scores and hopefully input them to the sheet. The team name in the fixtures are all hyperlinked to their FPL profile so its should be a simple task. Preferably somebody who knows their way around a spreadsheet. I will give them edit access to the sheet and if they are able to copy and paste and re-sort the table even better.

The spreadsheet is not as automated as I hoped, sorting columns with complex formulae sends it a bit nutty, however the league table details are still calculated automatically (in a dummy table below the main one) and just need to be copy and pasted in to the table at the top and sorted each week.

Can somebody from each group volunteer below to be Group Scorekeeper. I'll do Group D obviously.

Once we sort out a trophy I'll arrange the donation to the Galway Hospice as nominated by Zarquon.

Last 16 Final Standings

Some thrilling and close matches in the last 16.

While irroced, Boots234, Klopparama and SoonerOrLater all pressed home strong first leg advantages to progress some other ties went right to the wire.

Tie of the round was surely Busts vs km79. These two legends of the game shared a massive 331 points across the two gameweeks, the highest scoring matchup by some distance, and only 3 points separated them with Busts winning through.

Fightbacks were on the cards in the other 3 ties, with some teams refusing to know when they were beaten, most notably mno101 who turned around a 14 point deficit to Adpro to win by 4. Comeback kid! alchemis33 and Gaillimh1976 also squeaked through to complete the Quarter Final Lineup as follows:

mno101
iroced
Boots234
iused2likebusts
Gaillimh1976
Klopparama
Sooner or Later
alchemist33

Draw to follow as requested by the scrupulous Mr Busts....

Congrats Gaillimh1976! Was a close one for sure.

The final being played GW 27 is a bit of a disaster for anybody preparing for skinny GW 28 and to a lesser extent GW 26.

Also, the teams playing GW 28 have tough fixtures in GW 27.

Think I'll have to sacrifice this competition and focus on trying to achieve my best possible overall finish.

Big win for Sooner or Later. Bringing in Aguero instead of Kane cost me big time. Best of luck in the quarter finals. Also thanks to FHFC for taking this on and running it so well.

Thought I had you when Long did not start (Pieters 4 to sub in)

Then when Long came on with 10 minutes left I thought I was gone

Verrrry lucky to get through !!

Sooner or Later

Thanks!

Apologies for my lack of posts on the thread. It's down to repeatedly jinxing myself in the Premier League thread. I always used to post a score update mid-game:

20 points ahead of my opponent with only the Monday night game to go. I have Messi and he has Andy Carroll's grandmother. Think the win is in the bag.

Then with Messi drawing a blank Andy Carroll's grandmother would come off the bench and score a hat-trick. With a minute to go Messi would be awarded a penalty, their goalie would get injured, Andy Carroll's grandmother would step in and save the penalty. Finally I would lose by a point after Messi got booked for kicking the ball away in disgust after the final whistle had already blown.

So I tend not to post on active match threads anymore

iroced

Leading Gaillimh1976 34-32 after the first leg thanks to his 4 pts hit. Considering how unprepared I came into this GW and with the Ibra (C) fear, it's kind of a miracle that not only I'm not far behind but I'm even ahead :eek:.

Everything to play for in the second leg though. Tough GW too, notably (C)-wise. There are no obvious candidate.

20 points on my bench, but no way was I ever going to start Jaku over Foster !!!

alchemist33

Boots234 takes a 4 point lead over me into the second leg. If this gameweek is like the last, that could be enough!

FHFC

Sorry for lack of updates.

These ties pretty much over, 3 officially, one pretty much unless Ibra gets 22 more than Siggy.

Congrats to the winners.

Will do SF draw early next week.

alchemist33

Well done Boots!

Sooner or Later

Congrats to mno101

Iused2likebusts

Congrats to klopparama. Just shows what this competition means to people after the ott celebrations klopparama had on sat night.

iroced

Congrats Gailimh. Go on and win it now!

FHFC

Congrats again to all the sides who have progressed in this most prestigious competition. Rumours that one victorious manager remains on the lash and was last seen in an early house with Paul Gascoigne are unconfirmed.

The draw for the Semi Finals was made this morning and is as follows:

Ties will be played over two legs on Gameweeks 25 and 26.

.....so... I bow out of a superbly run competition...thanks to all who organised (FHFC, Busts, Zarquon..others)
congratulations Klopparama and best of luck in the final.

Speaking of zarquon, I found out a few days ago that he has sadly passed away following a short illness. I noticed from his FPL team that he hadn't made any transfers in the last while. Fearing the worst, I checked on rip.ie and his name appeared unfortunately. Zarquon was a valued member of this forum for many years and he'll be really missed by everyone here.
