    I’d say there will be a lot of us signing up to the sky game next season!

    At 2:30pm I was on a beach in Mayo with no phone coverage and no transfers made, armband on KDB and Bruno in my team.

    I asked the missus for her phone and she magically had coverage so transferred Dilva in for Bruno and captained him :-(

    A costly move.... dropped to 51K overall and lost a couple of mini leagues by ~15 points.

    Bit of a meh season but will be back for more agony/ecstasy in a few weeks.

    As others have said, this forum is one of the best things about playing FPL.... the perfect balance of information, "bantz", bad puns, obsession, advice and insight

    That actually made me happy. When he was in the top three for a while earlier in the season FFS’s Joe, who is a pain in the hole anyway, was ****eing on about how FPL and chess were so alike and it was no wonder he was doing well

    Annoyed me a disproportionate amount
    Haha this made me laugh! I remember him spouting that bolox alright :D

    They haven’t been in touch yet. Talked to a previous winner they said they where pretty slow. But they will be in contact this week.

    There was banner on top of the site yesterday saying it takes up to a week for prizes to be credited to your skybet account.

    815 over and out.

    Fun season, hopefully picked up a thing or two that's my best effort by a mile.

    I think for the 50k they do a bank transfer and not actually through skybet.

    90k OR. I know in the grand scheme of things it's a respectable score but just feels like a very average season and can't think of many standout moments. Doesn't help that main rival beat me by 101pts and finished 6k OR! Was quite cautious all season with little hits (for once) - might change that up next season.

    Despite my mixed feelings of this season, enough can't be said about this forum. I know it sounds cliched and contrived but honestly for me FPL and Boards FPL forums/members/craic go hand in hand. Equally obsessed with both!

    I think hes on reddit, its completely inexplicable.

    The leak wasn't from the usual slam dunk source. Might have decided it wasn't true. I'd have been reluctant if I had more on the line.

    A horrible GW to finish but OR 1712 is my second best season ever.
    Lost out on top place in a few MLs but at least they're nice guys. :pac: :)

    Enjoy the break and see you all again for next season hopefully.

    302k finish. Worst ever season. Very disappointing considering the amount of time I spend on this game.

    Could not get a captain right for love nor money. Was 124k at the restart but crucially, I had no wildcard left, so I do feel bitter about how that was handled. Looking at my stats there, 323 points left on my bench this season, crazy number. People around me in mini-leagues with 120-200. That will have to be addressed next season. I've turned into a very conservative player and that is killing me, need to take more risks, within reason.

    Enjoy this forum very much, priceless information and a lot of laughs. Then one of our own winning €50k, incredible. Enjoy, Donegal1234. Can you lend me a fiver so I can subscribe and change this fcuking name? :D

    Ya bollox. :pac:

    If I even had a third of them benched points I'd have made top 40k. To put the tin hat on it, my bench boost yielded an extra 7 points.

    It most definitely will. It’s actually 55k in Euro as the 50k prize is in pounds.

    I hope you have Revolut!

    A traditional bank will have a field day with their crazy exchange rates.
