    .....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.

    Due to my preparation for GW 28, and beyond, the final could be a forgone conclusion.

    I'll be taking a -8 this week as part of my long term plan to try and achieve my highest possible overall finishing position.

    It's been good fun and I can't believe I've got this far but like I said weeks ago - it's a real pity the semi's and the final are surrounded by skinny and the double game weeks.

    But it really doesn't matter. I hope (and think it will) that this comp will double its contributions next season.

    Hope Zarquon is doing well and that this comp will continue to raise cash for a genuine cause.

    Edit - sad to read the above - perspective.

    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.

    Very sad news. RIP Zarquon

    Sad news regarding Zarquon R I P, I would be up for doing this annually a sort of Zarquon memorial trophy if you will, maybe with this year's winner picking a charity of their own.

    Ah hell. I'd also noticed that his team wasn't updated for a while and feared the worst. Thanks for letting us know.

    Yeah we had envisaged this being an ongoing annual cup. The winner picking next year's charity is a good idea.

    Here's to you our FSA pal
    Rest forever here in our hearts
    This thread and all its comments are yours
    This charity is your triumph

    -

    Contrary to several of my fellow FSAers, I had not particularly noticed zarquon had not been active with his team lately. So I was quite shocked by the news Scorpion Sting brought us earlier today. Very sad news. RIP zarquon. Let's keep this charity comp' your legacy.

    Confirmation of the Semi Final results and the line up for the Final this possible DGW27.

    I think we will all be holding our own personal minutes silence before the final of what I'm taking the liberty of calling the Zarquon Memorial Cup.

    We all put stupidly unhealthy amounts of time into this game and take it far to seriously, but while we rarely admit it there is a whole lot more going on for all of us out there and Zarquon's passing is a reminder of that. So remember super FPLer, and great FSAer, Zarquon this weekend, and take care of yourself, your family and enjoy life to the full.

    Showgrounds is as far north as I have gone for those trips

    There's also a small rugby match on the TV that might draw a bit of the crowd

    I'd certainly enter. It would be good if a couple of other people took on the organising of it this year. Fhfc did a fair bit of work for it last year.
