    I had a brief look at this league earlier.

    Think I’m about 99% to go and most likely the guy at the bottom too unless I’m missing something ?

    Looks like a glut of people with the same players so positions shouldn’t change much after this GW.

    Looks like another great escape.

    Looks like another great escape.

    Really ?

    I’m not very good at calculating these type events but when I looked at the table, mid GW, I couldn’t see a way out for myself due to us all having very similar players.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,299 ✭✭✭McBain11


    Don't want to jump the gun, but it looks like myself and Leeds100 could be gone after everyone below had TC Salah. The margins are very tight, 2 or 3 points in it by my calculations.

    looking that way. Ah well I knew this week would be tough after I used tc last month to save me then. I dont regret using it at I got 40+ with De Bruyne similar to Salah. Its the Mane injury that did me in. Otherwise I think it would have worked. All the best to the rest :p


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,299 ✭✭✭McBain11


    Then there were 9!! Final January standings below. Any issues with the scores, just let me know. Unlucky Lamper.sffc. Those triple captains were a killer in the end! Hopefully you get some returns in your other FPL leagues.

    Just a note to say that Calmwood MH (my team) have been eliminated from this competition, but as admin I'm leaving them in the league until the end to keep track.

    Hopefully nobody will think they are safe this month if Calmwood MH are languishing in the bottom 2 below your team!

    Best of luck to all in the next few weeks. 2 players to be eliminated at the end of February as per usual.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,328 ✭✭✭nullObjects


    Looks like it'll run close again this month
    12 points between 3rd and last with 2 gameweeks to go


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,299 ✭✭✭McBain11


    Best of luck to all heading into the final weekend of February. 2 more players to be eliminated at the end of the month as per usual. Looks like it could be tight at the bottom, so be aware of tie breaker scenarios. Up to date table for February below with points hits included.

    1. Scorpion Sting (There'sOnlyWanBissaka) = 204

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,910 ✭✭✭begbysback


    That was close, no captain or vice, was saved by watford freak result against Liverpool

  • Registered Users Posts: 448 ✭✭Seaba


    Yep, I am gone.
    Shocker of a month - held onto Rico, Kelly, Lundstram, Ryan et al for too long
    Actually would have survived if I had played Ward ahead of Saiss (what was I thinking) or if Snodgrass or Ings had stayed on the bench, allowing Ward to spring from my bench.
    Anyways, I enjoyed this league.
    Thanks for organising it John.
    Best of luck to the remaining people.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,328 ✭✭✭nullObjects


    Was far too passive this month, should have cleared out the deadwood.

    Thanks a lot for organising, was fun while it lasted.
    Best of luck to the rest of ye as well!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,299 ✭✭✭McBain11


    Just 7 players remaining now. Unlucky Seaba and nullObjects, incredibly tight end to the month. Hope you both pick up some winning in other FPL competitions.

    2 more players to be eliminated at the end of March. Best of luck to all.

    Ok lads, we might as well get to the nitty gritty! Obviously there are bigger worries for most people with this feckin virus affecting peoples own health and that of their families, but I have to try and stay on top of this league as well in fairness to all those who have entered and paid good money to do so.

    So, we now know there is no PL football until at least April 3rd. My guess is that if it resumes then or a few weeks after that, they will extend the PL and other major European leagues into the summer, thus postponing the Euros until the summer after. There is obviously also a decent chance that the PL is postponed altogether.

    This is obviously a monthly last man standing. I am not eliminating any player for March after only 1 week of play, as this was completely unforeseen at this late stage of the competition and the fact that there was basically two thirds of this months uncompleted.

    So I have a few proposals.

    1. In the event that the PL does not resume at all, I will split the pot equally between all remaining players. So that would be 1000 euros divided by 7 if another ball is not kicked in the PL (143 euros each roughly).

    2. In the event that PL does resume, we get a few weeks of play by which point a few more players have been eliminated from this competition, and the PL is then cancelled - I will divide the 1000 euros pot between the remaining 3/4/5 players etc.

    3. In the event the PL manages to finish all games, the FPL will obviously have to restructure a lot of gameweeks and fixtures etc. While waiting on exact info from the FPL, I imagine there will still be 8 remaining gameweeks to play. I propose that we take the next 4 of these gameweeks and add them to the 1 week played in March to eliminate our next 2 players. That would leave us with 5 players for the remaining 4 gameweeks to battle it out for the prize. As we've effectively lost a month of play and eliminations, I propose that the top 3 of those remaining 5 players will then be in the money at the end, instead of the original top 2 being paid.

    So we would go 1st - 700 euros. 2nd - 200 euros. 3rd - 100 euros.



    Please read all of the above lads, but especially the parts in bold. If all remaining players are on board with the above please thank this post. If not, lads feel free to reply and let us all know where you stand.

    Most importantly, hopefully everyone and their loved ones keep safe over the next months.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,299 ✭✭✭McBain11


    Hope things are well lads. With the PL scheduled to return on June 17th, we might as well square away the restart structure. As per my last post on this thread, I think the fairest thing to do is to add the March scores to the first few weeks after the restart.

    MARCH scores PLUS first 4 gws back (GW39 - GW42) - bottom 2 players eliminated.

    Last 5 gws (GW43 - GW47) - Top 5 players fight it out for 3 paid places as per revised payout in previous post.


    I think that is about the fairest way to proceed, so if everyone is happy with that scenario, give this post a thanks.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,299 ✭✭✭McBain11


    Just a few more days to go. Might as well have a contingency plan if the worst happens.

    - If the PL is halted before the elimination of 2 players in this LMS comp in GW33+, we will split the monies between the 7 players evenly irrelevant of scores. Once GW33+ kicks off, I will consider that a completed week no matter if certain fixtures are postponed.

    - If we are down to 5 players and the PL is halted before GW38+, we will split the monies the monies between the 5 remaining players evenly irrelevant of scores. Once GW38+ kicks off, I will consider that a completed week no matter if certain fixtures are postponed.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,299 ✭✭✭McBain11


    Below are the standings going into the new schedule. These scores from March will be added to the first 4 gameweeks on resumption (gw30+, gw31+, gw32+, gw33+), and then the bottom 2 players will be eliminated. Tiebreaker and other rules etc will be as per page 1 of this thread as per normal.


    1. Klopparama (On me head son) 99 - 4 = 95
    2. Tubbercowboy (Craggy Islands Elite) 63 - 4 = 59
    3. Ros1234 (Rock Rovers) = 58
    4. Scorpion Sting (There'sOnlyWanBissaka) = 56
    5. Green&Red (MurderonKilbanesFlor) 52 - 4 = 48
    6. normanoffside (the smugdrugglers) = 44
    7. Begbysback (An Led) 45 - 4 = 41


    Any issues, just say the word. Best of luck to all in the rest of the FPL season.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,299 ✭✭✭McBain11


    Updated table below. 3 more gameweeks before 2 more players are eliminated. If there any errors, no panic, full audit will be done at the end of elimination process.

    2. Tubbercowboy (Craggy Islands Elite) 59 + 107 = 166
    3. Ros1234 (Rock Rovers) 58 + 106 = 164

    Just 5 players remain. 5 gameweeks to go, and it will be ran off pretty quickly!

    Good shout. I've reset league scoring to start from this week, so should be easier to keep track for you all over the last 5 gameweeks.

    I've never done a reset like this, so if anything goes south, don't worry as I have all players FPL user numbers, so can be fixed one way or another.

    Yep, mini league now between the 5 remaining players. No more eliminations. Top 3 get paid out. 1st 700 euros. 2nd 200 euros. 3rd 100 euros.

    Just to add, the final run in was tweaked from the original setup due to the covid situation, so it's understandable there's a little bit of confusion.

    Cheers, delighted with this win, it’s tough competition on boards. By rights we should stay away from money leagues with each other.

    Just looking back I’d dropped to 155k OR with the update below and looked out of it. A few weeks can make a huge difference

    Congrats to Green&Red for winning this.

    An outstanding final seven gameweeks from you!

    Ros1234 just pipped me to 2nd, fair play.

    Cheers Scorpion Sting. It was very close at the end, great finale, fair play to McBain for running it.
    Congrads to green&red well played.

    I don't post much but really enjoy the banter and community here.
    Looking forward to next season already!
