Sorry Happy. That's all the places filled up. Best of luck in your FPL season

11 people in. 11 people paid up.

This is winner takes all. Anyone unfamiliar with the setup please read the first 2 posts of this thread. Everything is there. 1 person will be eliminated at the end of every month (this will be based on the monthly tallies, and not who has the overall lowest tally).

Looking very like it won't matter to me after the first month.

McBain11 · 13-08-2018 2:59pm

I'm on the phone, so trivky to edit list above. My team is Calmwood MH.

2 gameweeks to go in the month Kathleen, can be huge turnarounds yet. Huge amount to play for yet. If I was lagging 20/30 points behind 2nd last with even 1 gw to go, I'd be thinking it's definitely doable to avoid elimination.

KathleenGrant · 13-08-2018 3:40pm

My team is Kathleen's Heroes.

At a function yesterday. No network so couldn't check ff. Logged on this morning to see only 6 behind. Not bad yer man ahead had only 2 players yesterday....Oh well.

KathleenGrant · 21-08-2018 9:54am

Ron liddle I'm coming for you.

McBain11 · 21-08-2018 11:02am

With about 7 teams within 25 points of the bottom spot, there's a lot of teams still in the mix for elimination. All to play for.

Just as an FYI, after this weekend, it all starts again where just the September tally alone comes into play for the next elimination.

KathleenGrant · 21-08-2018 12:34pm

just realised this gameweek is the last in August. :eek: Thought there were 4 somehow.

Realised my mistake. First deadline was 10th and I added 21 to get 31.
Just remembered deadline first week was a Fri not a Sat.
I hate when I am thick.

It can actually mean both. But in this sense it was good based on the 10% comment

Did not realise that! A serious standard in this league so far so.

And so it begins, one team will get the chop in the few days time. Will Kathleen pull off the great escape? Will Ron Liddle finally get what's coming to him after leaving his missus and running off with a young wan? :pac: Will Calmwood not be so calm come Monday night? All to play for. Best of luck to all this weekend.

I need a miracle from Trippier tomorrow. Goal, assist, clean sheet and bonus will do.

McBain11 · 26-08-2018 11:04pm

Looks that way alright. I've seen much stranger things happen in FPL though, so don't give up hope!

mectavba · 27-08-2018 5:22am

With how Man U have started the season, I'm certainly not counting my chickens.

As an aside - I'm 280k OR and still in danger of going out....that's mad! Roughly top 5%

Unless I have miscalculated I think I did! Trippier my hero if so...

McBain11 · 28-08-2018 2:34am

Yep Kathleen, looks like the miracle of Manchester has happened with Trippiers 11 point haul at Old Trafford!! Great way to get through.

Unfortunately Mectavba with the wonderfully named FPL team RodLittleWroteIt looks to be gone. This is a bit of a brutal format with the monthly last man standing. Unlucky my good man.

I will confirm all of the above for definite tomorrow, just in case some FPL error has thrown a score off somehow. Highly unlikely, but better safe than sorry.

mectavba · 28-08-2018 9:10am

Irony of ironies that my strongest start in years (albeit with a crap week this week) sees me out already. Well done Kathleen, but I'll be cursing Trippier all season. Best of luck all

begbysback · 28-08-2018 1:48pm

Unlucky dude - I'll refund your entry fee if I win

McBain11 · 28-08-2018 2:23pm

And so it is lads, the first player to bow out is official. Unlucky Mectavba and best of luck in all other leagues this season.

Just a reminder as we move forward. We now all start on 0 points for September. I do not have a lead on a handful of people going into this week, as my overall score is now irrelevant in this LMS league.

Easiest way to look at it, is that once you use the filter tab from 'Overall' to 'September' etc. going forward, that is how the game will be managed for eliminations from now on. Links below to different tabs.

Also, the slight quirk about transfers made the week before a new month starts comes into play. I'm pretty sure you no receive no points hits (see link below) on any made this week. I will be taking a couple of hits myself and I don't think these will be deducted from my September score. If any of that is wrong, just mention it here lads.

Controversial! I'm not sure I'm in favour of that rule, I know thats the way its set up in FPL though. In theory I could make it to the last month and be doing **** overall and basically WC while the other person is using the same team to go for mini leagues and can't afford to do that.

So I'd propose that maybe from Jan on we could these transfer hits

Will only change it now if there was unanimous agreement from every single person on here. I set it out at the very beginning that the quirk was in the system. I pointedly said that this was the case! As obviously come the last few months, there is the possibility that lads will just aim to win this league only and take lots of hits.

Personally, I was ok with the quirks because it allows me just to run the game off the FPL site, saving me tallying up weekly scores at the end of each month!! Basically I'm a lazy b*ollox

If there is unanimous agreement I am happy to change it from a certain point in the season though. So I'll put it to the people. Below is what people need to agree to. So I need the 9 other remaining players besides myself to thank this post in agreement and then we'll run as below.

The league will run as outlined until the end of December, quirks regarding transfers in play, just using the filter on the FPL website to see who is eliminated with the lowest score each month. For Januarys monthly tally onwards, points hits will be taken into account for the remainder of the competition. So I'll tally the few gameweek scores from your gameweek history, thereby eliminating the wee quirk at the start of each month.

If you are ok with that, please thank this post. I need all 9 thanks or there will be no change.

29-08-2018 1:26am

McBain I don’t want to be a pain but the only reason I won’t thank the above post is that I believe it should be the same from start to finish.

I don’t care if hits are included or not but I do think it should be the same scoring rules for every month.

I don’t see any reason to treat the scoring differently from a certain point of the season.

That's no pain to me whatsoever Klopp, and I'd agree with your points mostly. As I stated from the start (post number 2 in this thread) and a couple of times since, there is a quirk in the transfer hits before each month. I clearly stated that the rules permitted these hits, so it's not like I've moved the goalposts at any point in regards to this.

I am perfectly happy either way to change such a rule, but it would only be done with every single person still involved being happy to do so.

So as we won't have unanimous backing for a change to the original rules and scoring, we will stick with it as it is.

PARlance · 29-08-2018 2:18am

Very reasonable offer to change it based on everyone agreeing. It would involve a nice little bit of extra work for you each month (you would have to let everyone know the minus figures at the start of the month in reality) and probably keep reminding each GW just to keep everyone aware of the standings.

It was clearly stated at the start in fairness. Don't think I would be offering tbh but you're obviously a better person

Sorry for butting in. Waiting on price changes!

29-08-2018 3:19am

Then I’ve misunderstood.

I’m happy to go with whatever was outlined initially.

That’s only fair.

Excuse my stupidity.

Just to clarify - I’m going with whatever was suggested, from the start, that would make life easier for McBain.

Ros1234 · 29-08-2018 11:08am

I’ve misunderstood as well.

What we could do is after the GW starts at the start of each month, post here with what points hit you've taken and we could keep it transparent, it would save McBain doing a tally every month, just a suggestion. But I'm happy to go with whatever way is decided.

tubbercowboy · 29-08-2018 1:16pm

Yeah, i'm lazy and didn't think too much about the rules at the start so i'll agree with whatever people are happy with but i'd prefer point hits to be minused from the monthly score. I personally will be just going about my business and won't ruin my overall rank taking hits chasing this league.

McBain11 · 29-08-2018 2:36pm

Ok lads, I'm happy to leave the discussion going here until the next gameweek starts. As it is (we will be continuing with the original rules where you don't get penalized for hits at the start of each month).

As I said, I don't really care either way if it's changed. It's a small bit more work but I'm ok with that. It will need every single person on board to change it though. There will be no bending on that, as we are trying to change what was clearly in the rules from the beginning.

We already have one person happy to leave it as it was originally, and numerous others who haven't responded yet. If all get on board the idea of changing to deducting those hits manually at the start of each month, I'm ok with that.

Discuss away.

begbysback · 29-08-2018 5:39pm

The main point of this to me would be if someone gains an unfair advantage over another, just because one knows when to make the transfers which wont impact the score and the other doesn't.

So, either, absolute clarity would be required for all to see on how to manipulate the team without impacting score, or calculate manually any hits to be added.

Either way Mc Bain has some work - good luck sir!!

AdpRo · 29-08-2018 8:40pm

There is absolute clarity, it’s on this thread and in the offical rules that McBain has posted here.

McBain made it clear in his first couple of posts about the quirk in the game so everyone should have been aware of it before signing up. I think it’s a stupid rule and should be done away with by the powers that be in fpl towers and personally i will be playing for OR but I don’t think we should be changing rules mid season. So my vote is it either changes this week or not at all.

McBain11 · 29-08-2018 8:47pm

I get where you're coming from Begby, but everyone should know the scoring system before we started. I pointedly posted images in the first couple of posts on this thread to show everyone where that loophole was at the beginning of each new month!! So tbf, nobody should be caught unaware!

I can't change any original rule unless there is unanimous acceptance of such a change. I'm ok with changing the points hits situation, but unless there's much more feedback on here over it in the next couple of days we will have to stick with it as it is.

Would agree totally with all of that, especially the part that it's a stupid rule from the FPL lads themselves. They are well aware that lots of league are run with monthly prizes, so I don't know why they haven't the points hits built into the system.

I agree also, unless it changes this week with everyone on board, then it stays as is. I'm taking hits myself this week, but it's all about my OR also as I'm doing ok and I'm a rake of cash leagues this season.

Green&Red · 29-08-2018 10:24pm

Sorry, I didn’t see that in the original posts, if it’s there it’s there, it’s what we signed up to.

I’ll remove my objection

KathleenGrant · 30-08-2018 10:09pm

I see where objections are coming from tbh. Some people may be out of contention from main league mid way and could concentrate on this alone whereas others could be conservative and lose both. There could also be people with more than one team to play a different game with different teams (not saying there are mind, just saying it's a possibility)

30-08-2018 11:11pm

So are we all good to go with McBain’s original suggestion as that would be the fair and right thing to do ?
