In for both again, thanks
Back in for both, cheers.
I'll be interested in both LMS and Champions league. Didn't try the Champions league one last year. Id like to give it a go, if its on.
I’m in.
Will be in for both the Champions League (defend the throne) and Monthly LMS for sure
Count me in for the champions League format.... Really enjoyed it last season....
Agree that August is a tad early for eliminations, other than that I am looking forward to it ...
Think you're best going with first eliminations at the end of September. Whatever number of players eliminated at that point isn't that big an issue, but it's absolutely cut throat if people are eliminated at the end of August after only 3 gameweeks, especially when putting 50 euros in the pot.
I think it was 3 years I ran this format, and only last year changed it away from first players eliminated after 2/3 gameweeks. Far fairer competition for it imo.
You could essentially copy and paste most of the first few posts in this thread, tweak the numbers eliminated at the end of December, January etc based on number of fpl gameweeks in those months and you're set. I'd make sure to leave in any covid criteria etc I put in, because if things go wrong like in 19/20, it becomes a complete sh*tshow to sort out.
like I said, open to suggestions. that's an option ok. Can go when the main consensus.
Why not just two eliminations at the end of September?
Doh!
can amend to 1 elimination in Aug & sept. And 2 eliminations Oct - April. Final four compete in May.
There’s three gameweeks in May.
I'd be very happy to win it😀 presume you meant run it!
I will set up a new thread in the next few days. Site updates seems to be making things a bit more user friendly.
Re comp, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" So I will pretty much C&P McBain's rules.
Just a couple of observations re fixtures. There are 3 game weeks in August & only one game week in May. If we got the max of 20, I would propose the following, which will avoid 3 eliminations in any one month and a consistence 2 eliminations each month up to the final four shoot out as follows:
August: 2 eliminations ( 3 game weeks, bit of a war of attrition, don't get off to a sleepy start)
Sept: 2 eliminations
Oct: 2 eliminations
Nov: 2 eliminations
Dec: 2 eliminations
Jan: 2 eliminations
Feb: 2 eliminations
Mar: 2 eliminations
Apr & May: last 4 fight it out for places 1,2,3,4 (5 game weeks in April & 1 game week in May combined. A good long test to sort the final placings and the ultimate champion).
Any thoughts on above?
Based on getting the 20 max. It's a good comp that McBain devised, so would be hopeful of getting 20 players.
If you're happy enough to win this I'll run the champions league comp
Thanks to the lads if either of you are taking up the mantle of running the monthly lms.
Count me in anyway once it's up and running.
I offered because no one else seemed available. Happy for you to run it.

Played this the last couple of years and it would be a shame if not kept going. Should be just a case of replicating McBain's rules from last year.

I will get all winning monies transferred in the next day or so. Just wanted to say a big thanks to everyone who has competed in this years Monthly LMS competition and also all the previous editions. Unfortunately, it looks like I won't have the time to run this come August as work will be taking up a lot more of my time. I'm hoping to still enter in most of the boards FPL leagues though as the FSA it really is a great community on here. On that note, if anyone wants to take the reigns in this competition or the Champions League style competition I ran going forward, feel free to just use the layouts as they are. I think the Monthly LMS has actually turned into a pretty good comp as well once the first eliminations don't take place too quickly, giving everyone a fair rattle at it!
