That seems to be the general consensus.

Should hopefully make life a lot easier for the administrator too which is good.

McBain11 · 30-08-2018 11:53pm

As I've said a few times in the last few days, as things stand the original rules have to stay in place. The only way that will change is if the other remaining 9 people in the competition besides myself agree to change it. It will not come down to a majority vote to change as that would not be fair, as the rules were always clear to everyone.

I have no problem at all if the rules change, a bit more work for me but thats ok. Tbh I almost hope everyone agrees to change it at this point!! As I can see people giving out about it in the future (even though I will reiterate, I pointedly put the transfer quirks in the original posts so everyone would be aware when signing up. Also mentioned it a few times since the start of this thread).

So this will be my last post on the issue. It will require all 9 other entrants to thank this post for the change to happen. Any less than 9 thanks and we go on as originally planned.

Please thank this post to change the rules if you wish. All points hits will be included in monthly totals from now on if 9 thanks are received for this post.

Deadline for this will be midday Saturday.

You gave the rules from the start but you have been very fair and given ample opportunity for discussion and change. Whatever happens you will hear no complaint from me.

Leave as is it pal. No need for the extra work McBain imo. Doing A Great Job Chief! Cheers Buddy

I'm happy out to do the extra work, tbh it's only a few mins every month!

Most here are happy to change it. I'm very happy to change it. Be good to get you on board Skreddy ;-)

As I said though, 9 thumbs up from everyone to change the rules, or we stick with what we have.

McBain11 · 31-08-2018 5:28pm

Will bump this. Still a few lads shy of getting the rule changed regarding transfer hits. Please like the post above from myself at 11.53pm last night if you do want the rule changed.

Most people happy to change it at this point including myself, so let's get everyone on board if we can :-)

tubbercowboy · 31-08-2018 5:56pm

Thanked.
Cheers McBain

McBain11 · 31-08-2018 6:00pm

As Skreddy is on board with the changes, that is 7 out of the 9 we need to proceed with the transfer hits rule changes.

I've sent PMs to Shane732 and Begbysback to try and get this over the line before tomorrow.

McBain11 · 31-08-2018 6:32pm

Ok lads, we have 7 thanks so far. Myself and Skreddy are also on board to make the change to the rules. So we are just waiting on Shane732 to get this done. I'm not sure if he checks in on this thread much, I've PMd him a couple of times, but does anyone know him or have an email address I could get in touch with him.

I'm very eager to get this change done, as I will be taking more points hits tonight on my FPL team.

Any help on the above will be greatly appreciated.

KathleenGrant · 31-08-2018 7:11pm

Sorry but if we are almost all in agreement can you not just go ahead? This is my only league so I have more to gain than most in old rules but i believe in a level playing field so i think you have the consensus to go ahead. What if he doesn't log in till Tues and then says yeah lads, I am ok with it?

McBain11 · 31-08-2018 7:17pm

I agree Kathleen. Will tidy this up now to give people the night to do whatever suits their FPL teams.

As we have 9 out of 10 in agreement on changing the rule, I am going to go ahead and change the rule. ALL TRANSFER HITS ARE NOW IN PLAY AT ALL TIMES. I will tot up the totals at the end of the month manually, should be easy enough to do.

If there's any issue with that with Shane732 when he gets back to me, I will sort that out with him myself.

Best of luck to all, I'm taking a mini wildcard myself so will be down 12 points to begin with

Best of Luck to all.

Any issues just throw them up here. Sorry for all the confusion around this!!!

McBain11 · 01-09-2018 2:32pm

well that 12 point hit may not have worked out as I'd have liked :pac:

Salah captain, VVD, so I'm now on minus 7 after 2 players. Worse again I transferred Mane out who for weeks I'd thought as a season keeper. I guess this was as much a mini meltdown as a mini wildcard!

If Aguero comes good today, I could be chasing shadows in this competition I'd say.

Mendy is killing me!

McBain11 · 03-09-2018 5:36pm

Just to note, Shane has replied and is happy with the change to the transfer hits rules. So all are aboard.

McBain11 · 22-09-2018 11:30am

Best of luck to all. Just 2 gameweeks including today to the next elimination!!

Green&Red · 25-09-2018 7:18am

Who is AnLed? Basement dweller with myself although I think you had a -4 the first week and maybe someone had a -12?

Ros1234 · 25-09-2018 9:06am

Rock Rovers here folks, I took a -4 the first week. Good luck to all this weekend.

Just looking ahead at the fixtures, December has 7 gameweeks! A lot of squad rotation I suppose around Xmas

Had -4 last week so I think my September score is my true score - maybe Mcbain can list the true scores before the weekend?

If I'm going to win this then it's going to be the hard way - fighting for survival every week

KathleenGrant · 25-09-2018 10:32am

I took -4 at least twice.

25-09-2018 10:38am

I took a -4 coming into this GW but you don’t need to worry about me as I’ll be top of the league for the rest of the season.

Green&Red · 25-09-2018 11:09am

Well it’s only the first weekend that matters, subsequent hits have been taken account of in the table

Technically it is possible to be top of the league and stil get knocked out

Just sayin!!

Yep, this should be the exact scenario for each of the monthly scores. So basically it's your monthly total from the FPL website minus any hits you've taken in week 1 of that month. So I'm minus 12 points from my total when the month ends.

These are quick estimates going into the last weekend :

park the bus = 180

On me head son 181 -4 = 177

craggy islands elite = 173

Calmwood(my lot) 184 -12 = 172

the craggy islanders = 165

the ultra lumps 165 - 4 = 161

rock rovers 162 - 4 = 158

kathleens heroes 155 - 4 = 151

dunks of hazard = 147

Anled = 144

I believe that's the state of play going into the final weekend of September. I will do a big check come next week and make sure everything tallies up properly.

KathleenGrant · 25-09-2018 7:07pm

Well done. I see I might have to do a Houdini again this month to get through.

Your 11 points ahead of bottom

Big decision to make this week, give captaincy to Rich or the obvious Aguero

Might have to try the riskier option to stay in - gonna sleep on it, no off the cuff decisions!!

Rich sounds like a fantastic option, I’d captain him if I had him

McBain11 · 30-09-2018 1:10am

Just an FYI for everyone. Tie break scenarios as outlined in post 2 of this thread. These are what are in play if needed at any stage during the season :

Tie break scenario will be as follows :

1. Goals scored by all selected players in the month (including all chips so bench boost goals count, normal captain goals worth double, triple captain goals worth triple etc.).

2. Still tied, I will do assists on the same scenario as the goals tie break.

3. Sum of all captain totals in that month (triple captain will count in this)

4. If somehow that's similar, we'll run a play off the following week!

McBain11 · 30-09-2018 1:12am

Best of luck to all in the last couple of games this weekend. I've a feeling it could be a very close elimination yet.

begbysback · 01-10-2018 7:13pm

Squeaky bum time folks - looks like it's a head to head with ultra wan-bis and zaha v Wilson, pva and cook

These are the nights we dream of, everything on the line - good luck sir

McBain11 · 02-10-2018 8:16am

If my maths are correct, it looks like the ultra lumps with a monthly score of 200 points (204 minus 4) are just out in an incredibly tight month.

kathleen 2nd last with a score of 203 (207-4) and a few more all finishing with 10 points of bottom spot.

I will do a full audit of all these scores by the end of this evening to make sure all is correct. Apologies if any of the above is wrong, and please feel free to correct!

Thanks for running this pal. If your doing a weekly one for December (8 gameweeks) or anything like that message me. GL To everyone else. Cheers lads : )

McBain11 · 02-10-2018 4:19pm

Park The Bus (Shane732) = 237

Craggy Islands Elite (tubbercowboy) = 227

On me head son (Klopparama) 225 -4 = 221

The Craggy Islanders (AdPro) = 215

Calmwood MH (McBain11) 220 -12 = 208

AnLed (begbysback) = 208

Rock Rovers (Ros1234) 211 - 4 = 207

Dunks of Hazard (Green&Red) = 206

Kathleen's Heroes (Kathleen Grant) 207 - 4 = 203

The Ultra Lumps (Skreddy) 204 - 4 = 200

That looks to be the final state of play lads. If anyone spots any errors please let me know asap. Unlucky Skreddy, and best of luck with all the other FPL leagues you are in this season.

As these monthly eliminations will be extremely tight, please be reminded of what the tiebreakers are in the event of a tie at the bottom :

1. Goals scored by all selected players in the month (including all chips so bench boost goals count, normal captain goals worth double, triple captain goals worth triple etc.).

2. Still tied, I will do assists on the same scenario as the goals tie break.

3. Sum of all captain totals in that month (triple captain will count in this)

4. If somehow that's similar, we'll run a play off the following week!

begbysback · 02-10-2018 6:42pm

Yea a 20 quid December would be good

I'm hoping for a nice easy mid table October

KathleenGrant · 02-10-2018 7:03pm

Very close at the bottom this month again. I was dead lucky. Well done to the organiser.

Ros1234 · 07-10-2018 8:26pm

Had a look sat morn and saw every one had Kane as captain. This sent a shiver down my spine as I was contemplating taking a -4 for him all week. Thankfully hazard did the biz today. Serious players in the lge good luck to all this month. Btw no points hit this week.

begbysback · 19-10-2018 12:46pm

When I check my total for October the hits are not deducted - when are the deducted?

The first week of every month, those hits are not taken into account on the FPL website when checking your October tally. So there's only 1 week gone in October and for e.g. I scored 56 points I think, but I took 12 points in transfer hits. The FPL site will show my October score so far as 56, but this is incorrect. So, I have manually deduct those 12 points at the end of this month for my tally in our last man standing league.

The website accounts for all other hits in the monthly filter, except the first week of each month, for some ungodly reason!!!

begbysback · 19-10-2018 3:08pm

Oh I misunderstood it, thought it was just if date of actual transfer was something like 30-Sep and first match day was in Oct then it wouldn't be deducted

Every day is a school day!!

McBain11 · 25-10-2018 6:32am

Just did a quick tally of the state of play going into the final weekend of October. A short month, and it looks like I'll be getting the chop

Tie breaker scenarios were posted a few posts back for anyone interested. Best of luck to all and I will be on to do a proper audit of the monthly scores by Tuesday.

Rock Rovers (Ros1234) = 123

Park The Bus (Shane732) = 113

Kathleen's Heroes (Kathleen Grant) = 103

Dunks of Hazard (Green&Red) = 94

Craggy Islands Elite (tubbercowboy) = 87

The Craggy Islanders (AdPro) 91 - 4 = 87

On me head son (Klopparama) = 86

AnLed (begbysback) 90 - 4 = 86

Calmwood MH (McBain11) 88 - 12 = 76

begbysback · 25-10-2018 7:57am

Looks like I have my monthly chop battle on as usual, wouldn't have it any other way - each week I don't get chopped is like winning the league!!

Shout out to Kathleen - looks like you can put your feet up this month.

I must admit that being on the edge the last 2 months made the last day of the month exciting. It's nice to have it a bit calmer this week. There are few enough points between the bottom 're so it's all to play for still.

Most don't have him as he hasn't justified his price tag - I got rid of mane this week and would be more concerned by being maneless than salahless
