but i will be in the free, £10,£25,H2H,cup,LMS for £105 just give me a few days to case the bank before i rob it

Hi mate

I entered last years leagues courtesy of speaking to Tom via Facebook, the season before I entered via posting after Tom alerted me to this league on 2+2. My username is THEGOATIAN on that forum.

Anyway he said that the £100 league was open to anybody, not just active blonde members, and from what I can garner from your very detailed post that seems to be the case again this year. If my understanding is indeed correct I would love to play the £100 classic again and in-fact I was lucky enough to win it last year so it would be nice to defend the title!

My problem being I am unable to send PM's whatsoever, I believe this may be an issue with my lack of activity and/or low post count. Can anybody help me in regards to pointing me in the right direction. I will happily send by Paypal. Sorry for the long post.

Thank you

Morning bud.

Yes, you need to have made 10 (TEN) posts before you can send PM's.

Once that is achieved, your PM function should work normally.

I'm sure, between us, we can get you up to 10 posts reasonably quickly.

Look around the other threads, the Betting ones, or football team threads, & make a few observations.

PS - What team do you support?

Hi, all or nothing deal.

Good spot  :)

The maverick legend that is THEGOATIAN! If you have a chance to get to 10 posts on here please do so, I have an account over on 2+2 (Same handle) so I should be able to reach out to you over there.

In for 1&2. Junior Senior held my money from last season don't know if he passed it on. Thanks

PM sent. Thanks for taking over the mantle guys.

In 1,2,3 for starters and may join the cups one later.

Thanks for running this Nick and Mark.

I'm not sure if I have your bank deets Nick.

Hi Dino i got your PM on 2+2 but I'll respond here to get this post count rising.

Sent the money and thanks for the welcoming hospitality mate. I hope Silkworms does join us again this year, I'm sure he will want his crown back and I doubt he'll ever go without Kane again!

Tikay, I'm a Man City fan as I am from Manchester of course, and yes before you all start chanting in unison, I was there when we were shit! I'll probably post around the betting forum as I do love a good bet.

Cheers guys

Good stuff - we even have a Man City thread, here;


http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=66031.1455

I'd be interested to know how you seem to get your team captain right almost every single week - serious skillz there!

Some of us are just born lucky mate...

I was born ginger so I guess it all evens itself out eventually!

Hi Dino, sent you a PM. Keen to enter this year

Thanks to everyone who had so far sent PMs I'll respond to them all over the next 24-48 hours.

Pm sent

can you send bank details?

Thanks,
Paul

Thanks for picking this up. Whilst I haven't got time to organise it this year, i will still play.

Be in touch by PM once I have decided on my leagues.

Hi I would like to enter the Head to Head league- Number 4

Can someone please PM me the paypal details.

Thanks.

Hi bud,

You will need to make 10 posts before you can reply to PM's,  but we have some lively football threads so I'm sure you can soon get sorted

I'm happy to join all four "open to all" leagues. Also want in £50 classic & £25 classic if I can?

More than fine. I'll send out payment details via pm in the next couple of days for this and draft.

PM sent

I'll be entering the £50 and £100 leagues plus the LMS.  Will pm and send nearer the time dino.  Appreciate you guys running it.

Everyone who has expressed an interest in entering the various leagues should have received a PM. If you haven't then please message me.

Hey again Dino

I now have 10 posts! Didn't even have to get into an argument to achieve it. So now i'll be able to receive the PM message with the league code hopefully. I already paid the £100 last week via paypal, cheers!

Ha,

Sent on the other site already but will PM you it now on here.

in for leagues 3,4,5,6 and 7

cheers

In for the £25 and £50 classics, the H2H, cups and LMS.  Thanks for running

Can I just do the free one please?  I'm crap at FF

Hi there, you're welcome to join leagues 4,5,6 and 7 but you'll need to reach 30 posts before you can enter league no 3 (£50 classic or £25 classic, I number both of those 3, oops). There are plenty of threads around here to get involved with. Maybe tell us about your Blonde Username?

Hey, I would like a go at this but don't have the 30 post requirement it states in op. Up for 1,2,3 and 5 if possible.

Happy to have you enter league no 5, but for the others you'll need to reach 30 posts. Take a look around the forum and get involved. What team do you support?

£145 shipped

Ok cheers, will pm in a bit to do no5 and sort out the others when I've built up more posts.
I'm a Swansea City supporter/season ticket holder for my troubles.

Nice one, I studied in Swansea so have a soft spot for them. They were playing at The Vetch back when I lived there though. In all honesty, I should hate The Swans as you sent my side (Exeter City) out of the Football league whilst I was living in Swansea. What are your thoughts on Swansea's prospects for this season? Do you think Clement can turn them into a stable mid-table side, or will the loss of Gylfi's guile (if he goes) and dead ball ability mean you're in for another relegation scrap?

Ah nice, ever make it to the Vetch? Still miss that place, even though it was a heap of shit lol.
That would be 03 then when we beat Hull on the last day.
Think it all depends on who replaces him (pretty certain he's going), Clement seems to know his stuff, he's got rid of most of the deadwood in the squad and if he can find a decent replacement and maybe another player or 2 with the Gylfi cash, think We'll end up around 14th.q

£30 sent

Received and code sent.

Never did make it to The Vetch, I had a Saturday job and played Uni football on Wednesdays, which then involved drinking in the evenings, ruling out most chances to make it to watch a game. You improved a lot defensively under Clement, so even if you lose Gylfi I think you'll be ok.

What do you make of Abraham? I'm eyeing him up as a cheap third striker for FPL, do you expect him to start and do you think he'll play once Llorente is back?

Haven't seen Abraham play personally but reports have been very good. Not sure he starts above a fully fit Llorente think Clement likes a target man but the club have already said Llorente will miss the first game away to Southampton due to injury.

I went to The Vetch twice, Worst away toilets I have evr been in. Like a third world sewer!

Ive paid for H2H.

Goodbye to my 20 pound

They were dreadful tbf. What team were you supporting?

Mansfield

Everyone who has PMd me/posted in here about playing in the leagues should have received payment details by now. If you have not please let me know. If you played last year and are yet to enter you will be getting spammed shortly  ;D

ok thats everyone been given a big enough head start


FFS going to be a long haul now

I've been away for the weekend but later this week Mark and I will confirm the numbers and payouts for the various leagues, announce the format for the cups and work out when LMS will start.

Please see a breakdown on the league prizes for the various Blonde FPL leagues 2017/2018.

Please note:

1) LMS will start in GW14
2) I've decided to leave entry to the £30 Cups package open to members of Blonde Poker until the start of GW6 as there are 26 entrants so far and it'd be great to bump this up to at least 28 and preferably 32. If you'd like to join please DM me.

How the cups will work:

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Dazzler did a great job setting up the format for these and the only thing that will change is when they start. They'll still be over before DGW madness kicks in. If we fall short of the 32 runners then instead of byes we'll fill the gaps with 'Average GW score' they'll be interspersed throughout the draw so that the chances of an Average vs Average matchup are all but impossible.

Schedule and rules:

We're following the format of the League Cup/FA Cup/Champions League as much as possible.
We're scheduled to start with the League Cup in GW8.
When the total number of entrants are known I'll get an independent party to administer the draw. It'll be H2H knockout and there will be 6 GWs play. The semi finals will be 2 leg affairs.
If we get a tie, the League Cup does not have replays so we'll go to a 'penalty shootout' tie break. The tie break will be the same as the ingame FPL Cup tiebreak.
If a cup match is drawn, then the following tie-breaks will be applied until a winner is found:
1.Most goals scored in the Gameweek
2.Fewest goals conceded in the Gameweek
3.Virtual coin toss

League Cup
GW8 = last 26-32
GW9 = last 16.
GW10 = last 8.
GW11/12 = semi finals
GW13 = League Cup final.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The FA Cup is scheduled to start GW15.
It'll be played along the same principles, H2H knockout. There will be only 5GWs play as there are no 2 leg matches.
If we get a tie, the FA Cup has replays and we have enough spare weeks so we'll go to a replay the following week, which will obviously put back all the other ties by 1 week too. If there is a 2nd tie, the tie breaker will come into play.


FA Cup
GW15 = last 32
GW16 = last 16
GW17 = last 8
GW18 = semi finals
GW19 = FA Cup final.
If replays are required, all ties will be put back 1 week.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Champions League is scheduled to start GW20

In the event of having 26 runners then in the CL we'll run with seven groups of four. 26 teams + 2x Average. The top two from each group will qualify along with the two best 3rd place teams.
 
All teams will play 2 round robin matches against each other for a total of 6 matches. Teams will receive 3pts for a win, 1pt for a draw. Teams will be seeded according to their positions in the league at the time of the draw.
The top 7 in the league will all be 1st seeds, teams positioned 8th-14th will be 2nd seeds, teams positioned 15th-21st will be 3rd seeds and teams positioned 22nd+ will be 4th seeds.

Champions League
GW20-GW25 = group matches
GW26/GW27 = last 16
GW28/GW29 = last 8
GW30/GW31 = semi finals
GW32 = Champions League final.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


All -4 hits in a GW will be deducted from your Cup score in that GW. This applies to all cup competitions.
If at any point a GW has less than 6 matches (due to postponements), the Cup GW will be declared void and the fixtures will move to the following week

Go on then. In for cups

Boom! You should already have bank details. Let me know when sent.

Sent it straight away last night. Hopefully you've received

SCOUT: 52,916 sold De Bruyne and swapped him for Mane. The 2nd most popular trade ahead of GW4 behind Kane to Morata

Any room left in the cups ?

Why did so many people - even those with okay teams - choose to use their wildcard so early this time?

Team value. Some people feel that it is a good strategy to ditch a load of their players who are going to decrease in price and swap them for ones who are going to increase.

Personally, I kept mine as there will come a time when I've lost a load of players to injury/suspension and there will be others playing poorly.

2 wild cards one has to be used by christmas

How many FPL shopping-days until Xmas?

Hi, there is. You should already have payment details. Please send £30 and I'll send you the league code.

Because I am a dick!

Really this was the reason. It back fired. FPL always does. I literally have no idea why I bother. I am so close to rage-quitting.

The 1st international break is probably the single biggest wildcard option chosen by most top managers. The reason for this is that the transfer window is closed and we have a much better idea of what team lineups are likely to be. Also historically that international break used to be the best time to make good team value on purchases, although this has changed in the last couple of years with wildcard transfers being excluded from overall transfers in regard to price rises. It's a good time to sell all the possible £0.1m droppers we might have in our team. So yeah, team value.
I did it it in GW3, a week earlier than I really wanted to and it cost me 30pts. Many of the managers who went in GW3 had a mare. Similarly most managers that wildcarded in GW4 seemed to have a poor week.
A lot of managers have decided to wait a little longer this season, GW6/7/8 due to the fact that the prices rises/drops are much slower this season than last season. Also there is a few fixture list changes around that time. Evertons fixture turn better, Stokes turn better, Spurs a little worse, etc.

I'm just slightly surprised that anyone would go into a season with a pre-conceived plan to use their wildcard in week 3/4/5 as I(possibly naively) always considered it an emergency fix mechanism - having said that I think this is the first time I've not used mine in the first 2/3 gameweeks - interesting strategy line on adding value though especially if you've missed a few shooting stars.

cups start next gameweek?
what about LMS?

not sure who Robert Moss is but have they made a Big ooops moment played there wildcard week 6 made no transfers then made 8 transfer this week for -28 points?

I did it on purpose believe it or not! Made 23 transfers on my wildcard week but it shows as zero on the gameweek history. Safe to say the wildcard didn't work out  :D

Morata now injured too.  ::)

wow i thought i was beat in the H2H till i saw you were -28 for transfers, i finally get round to dropping DeBruyne this week  in my wild card obviously he is now going on a rush of goals

Entry to the cups is now closed and the league cup round of 32 takes place this week.

kp24 had expressed an interest in joining but never firmed that up and he hasn't been online since Sept 14th.  So, we were left with just 27 entrants. It's a rather awkward number - especially for the Champions League - so I've decided to gift entry to Tikay's team (he has no idea about this by the way). That makes a much better number of 28 and I'll update the prize pools on the OP shortly.

What it means for the cup comps is this.

League Cup/FA Cup: 28 x Human team + 4x Average (the weekly average score) to make up the 32 entrants. The complete draw for the League Cup will be done this week and posted in the thread and the original post. It will be conducted by an independent party (someone not in the league).

Champions League: 7 groups of 4 teams. Top two from each group qualify + top two third place teams. Tie breakers: 1) League Points 2) FPL Points scored during the six-week group stage period (all hits deducted) 3) Overall rank at conclusion of the six-week group stage period

League Cup (last 32) will be played GW8

1   Average      vs      The Boys (Ehelepola Wicks)
2   AFC Wrenny Raiders (Chris Vickers) vs Leeroy Jenkins (Ollie Noonan)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3   Average      vs    Use The Forster (Mark Porter)
4   Average      vs   Valiant Gunners (Mark Stuart)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5   DeAndre Yerdalin (Jon Slater)  vs Front Runner Runners (Robert Moss)
6   King of Scores GFFC (Ky Hutchinson)   vs Two Sisters Probably (Chris Brammer
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   
7   dion dustbin (Asa Smith)     vs   Premier Lead (Gareth J)
8   Swanjacks (Darren Corbett) vs The Dazzler (Tom McBennett)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

14   Plastic Geordies XI (Shaun Conning)   vs WeWontWinOrDieTrying (Ironside)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
15   Indian Magpies (Peter Santamaria-Woods   vs It's a Knockaert (Tony Kendell)
16   Team name censored (Phillip Marsh)       vs   (.)(.) (David Tighe)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are 28 entrants + 4x Average to make the 32 runners required. It is a fixed draw and the winner of tie 1 will play the winner of tie 2, the winner of tie 3 will play the winner of tie 4, etc, etc. all the way through to the final.
It'll be H2H knockout and there will be 6 GWs play. The semi finals will be 2 leg affairs.

If we get a drawn tie, the League Cup does not have replays so we'll go to a 'penalty shootout' tie break. The tie break will be the same as the ingame FPL Cup tiebreak.
If a cup match is drawn, then the following tie-breaks will be applied until a winner is found:
1.Most goals scored in the Gameweek
2.Fewest goals conceded in the Gameweek
3.Virtual coin toss

The payouts for the League Cup are as follows;
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Payouts
28 x £5 = £140
Winner - £80
Runner up - £40
Beaten semi finalists - £10 x 2
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The schedule for the League Cup is as follows;
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GW8 = last 32
GW9 = last 16.
GW10 = last 8.
GW11/12 = semi finals
GW13 = League Cup final.

surely the guys against average just get byes into the last 16

Not necessarily, the average has won one match and drawn one so far in seven matches in my private H2H league.

Yeah I agree, just let us go through and bask in the glory of a cup run. (I'm 1-2 Teddy, so could be playing you next round ironside)

Not necessarily, there could be a cupset or two about!

Just to confirm is it the overall average? Or average of the people in the league?

Overall average.

whats the difference between wildcard and freehit? i have played my wildcard but still got a free hit availble

Freehit lets you change as many players as you want but for one week only. The following week your team reverts to what it was before.

Generally best to use in a short GW or in a double GW later in the season (according to general consensus on Fantasy sites).
There will be a GW later in the season when maybe only 6 teams have a match (every season this happens) and many FPL managers might be fielding 5 or 6 players. Or it could be used in a double GW to field the best XI for that week, without ripping up your team altogether.

thanks thats a cool idea

Dino i hate you not 1 but 2 saints defenders against me in the H2H

That didn't work out too well for me!

makes me feel worse though

Unless Vardy has a blinder I fear I am going to be sent out of the cup by the "average" team :(

Great start.

Managed to keep my streak of captain scoring 3 or less for the 8th week in a row.

Bluffallo Bantams (Paul Foulder) (57) vs (54) 1-2 Teddy (Dave Hemmings)

Chris takes a 16 point lead into the second leg and will be a short priced favourite to make the final.

Paul has just a 3 point lead and that one should be a close one.

A couple of weeks off now before the return legs.

Hate the international breaks so much!

Hate FPL so much

The second legs are now complete with Chris Brammer and Paul Foulder both advancing after compiling 96 points each!

Leeroy Jenkins  (Ollie Noonan) (41) vs (96) Two Sisters Probably (Chris Brammer)
Bluffallo Bantams (Paul Foulder) (96) vs (66) 1-2 Teddy (Dave Hemmings)

The Final will take place in GW13 (a reminder that any hits taken will be subtracted from your cup match total)

Two Sisters Probably (Chris Brammer) vs Bluffallo Bantams (Paul Foulder)

The prizes are:

Winner - £80
Runner up - £40
Beaten semi-finalists - £10 x 2 (Ollie and Dave you have PMs)

when does the LMS start i think there is 26 teams in it and only 26 game weeks left

I think it starts gameweek 14 which leaves 2 teams for the final gameweek if I understand correctly.

Noose is correct, it starts this gameweek (GW14) and leaves a H2H battle for the title on the final week.

Congratulations to Chris Brammer on winning the first trophy of the season. It was a battle of the top two in the cups league in the final and it was a close call. It ultimately boiled down to the captaincy as Brammer's decision to band Kane gave him a six-point edge over Foulder's choice of Lukaku.

Two Sisters Probably (Chris Brammer) 59 vs 52 Bluffallo Bantams (Paul Foulder)

The prizes are:

🏆 Two Sisters Probably (Chris Brammer) £80
Runner up - Bluffallo Bantams (Paul Foulder) £40
Beaten semi-finalists - Leeroy Jenkins  (Ollie Noonan) and 1-2 Teddy (Dave Hemmings) both £10

Was there a player out for GW15 in the lms?

That would be me I think (unless someone took a ridiculous point hit that I didn't spot). Shocker of a week! After winning it last year would have been nice to defend the title a little longer  :D

I've already made my transfers for this week for minus 4 and just tonight I've found out Morata is out for the midweek game. If I now play my free hit chip does it cancel out the minus 4? Tia 

Poo

It will cancel out the minus four, but also cancel any transfers you've made this week. So, for instance, if you've sold Elliot, he'll be back in your squad for GW18 and you'll have to use a transfer to get rid of him again.

Depending on the transfers you've made and state of your bench (do you have players who will play?) then you're probably better off benching Morata rather than selling him for a -4 or playing the FH chip as Conte has said it's fatigue/minor back niggle which probably means he'll be back for the weekend. The free hit is, in theory, very valuable and this situation likely doesn't warrant the playing of it in my opinion. We will likely see some rotation in this set of games which makes constructing a FH squad difficult because a) we don't know for sure who'll play and b) one advantage of the FH chip is that you can get all your money on the pitch, with perhaps only one functioning sub, as your squad reverts back to its former state the next week. With the threat of rotation this week, you can't really take that risk and therfore can't maximise the usage of the chip.

Thanks dino. This week choupo moting would come in for morata. My problem then is id have DLC and kane as my front 2 which isnt very strong. Might have to bite the bullet and take another hit

If you have 1 free transfer when using the free hit chip, how many free transfers will you have the following week?

Sigh, knocked out of both cups by same player.

NigDawg remains on for the cup double, he'll have to get past the team he beat in the League Cup Final to reach the FA Cup final though. All the semi-finalists are in the money, well played.

FA Cup Semi Final Ties (to be played GW18)

Match 1: Two Sisters Probably vs Bluffallo Bantams
Match 2: Valar Dohaeris FC vs The Dazzler

In LMS there was a tie between Valiant Gunners and Payne 'n Niasse. They couldn't be separated on the first tie-breaker (goals scored) as neither side managed a goal. But on goals conceded Payne 'n Niasse came out on top and so JuniorSenior survives.

Stupid question no doubt but I haven't been railing the thread much sorry.

Does LMS take gameweek transfers into account? Assume it does or late on someone can just make unlimited transfers if not competing in anything else.

Any transfer hits count. I’ve got a chrome add-on called ‘better fpl’ which shows in the league table what hits anyone has taken that week so it’s no extra admin for me.

rotation is tough!

David Silva brought in by 278,386 - the most signed player ahead of GW18... ... isn't even on the bench for Man City

And now we've got Gundogan back and playing well to add another midfielder into the rotation mix

Owning Fabianski and Calvert-Lewin in tonight's match.

The old penalty save and knocking in the rebound is a pretty sweet point swing.

 :hello:

Is it right that Rooney is getting credited an assist for that penno miss?

yeah happened before

plus he is my captain

 :'(

why has the spurs hammers game been moved to next week ?

Safety concerns over lack of policing.

This rotation stuff is a killer captain is on bench will likely come on for 2 minutes at end get booked and I score 0 Salah won the toss last week and lost it this I need luckier coins

Anyone not triple-captained Kane for this GW?

me he was yellow flagged so just captained ali

Ditto, the illness risk was too great to burn the triple captain on.

Would definitely have played it without that. Will be a couple of good double game week options later in the season i'm sure.

Am I the only one that didn't captain Kane?

I vice-captained Son but I'm fairly confident Harry will shake off his cold and go for his hat-trick of hat-tricks.

looks like i am one of the few that didnt pick up Adrian but i thought it wasn't worth spending 4 points

i give up, picked up vardy instead of a spurs/west ham player as i thought it would be great game no yellow tag next to him

LMS GW21 result: We lose Chris Vickers with his score of 28.

I'll publish the tables at the end of GW22

Kane on the bench...

saving him for hammers on thursday, not sure what i want from him as i have him in my team but everyone else has captained him so the more points he gets for my team the more ground i lose on those with a C next to him

How the hell does Kane not get an assist for the 2nd goal tonight?  Presumably the fact that Alli took two goes to score it, but still ridiculous.

No assist for Kane. The triple captain boys in trouble...........

Technically the right decision with regards to FPL but Kane's killer pass made the goal plain and simple. Without technicalities though we would have a lot of arguing!

Guess everyone will now be trying to get rid of the extra hammers in there team as cheap as possible

Huddersfield
Bournemouth
Palace
Brighton
Watford

For now, am very happy keeping 3 Hammers for that period. Need Arnie to be fit and he is looking good for those games, Adrian a nice banker too.

Hello All,

Worst season ever for me! I thought it would be given the arrival of Junior Junior in late November. It’s impossible to keep up with all the injuries, stats and trends on 2 hours sleep a night and endless washing and nappy changes.

Good luck all. Great to see aBlonde in the top 500 again and hope one day we can get an overall winner. Brent has given it a good run twice and now its Brammer’s turn!

P.s. what happened Dazzler? Brought in spurs players who stayed benched. Must have been a mis-click!

Greg

Congratulations Greg, Mrs Greg, and Junior Senior Junior!

I think we definitely need some pics.

I was a little concerned about Tom The Dazzler too as he doesn't seem to have touched his team for a while - figured he might be travelling in some remote spot as is his wont.

Confirmed misclick.
Confirmed drunk in early hours of New Years Day in exotic location!

What happens to people who still have Coutinho in their team do they just get credited with £9M?

Should be like when someone gets loaned out-they just stay there on a red with the info saying transferred out. You probably don't even have to transfer him out if you'd prefer to leave him in.

Would certainly make a nice differential

What will happen to his value though - will it just drop 100K per week or so or stay the same?

Yeah it will just keep dropping according to how many ship him out. Teams can still transfer him in!

Congrats :)

But it was a misclick, how can you be so cruel? :)

Anyone still in the FPL cup?

Am in the hat for round 7 this weekend.

Yeh, I'm still hanging in there. The winner must run so pure!

i got in it this year but knocked out first round my oppo used his free hit and beat me by 3

I got knocked out by an inactive team :(  Funnily enough it was called Hammertime!

Same - the magic of the fpl cup :(

In LMS we lose Claypole.

Hadn't realised the champs league was home and away in the group stage! That's a bonus, assumed I was out already!

Looks like a MASSIVE shock in the LMS this week unless i missed some penalties somewhere for transfers but run away points leaders Two Sisters Probably looks to have bowed out.

Correct, we lose NigDawg, he's won enough already this season  ;)

Champions League Results/tables/fixtures:

Amazingly going into the last round of fixtures only four of the 16 qualifying spots are assured, although another two teams are through, barring huge points swings. It's all to play for going into the final round of fixtures.

1) Please check your groups, I don't think there are any errors but if there are now is the time to flag them (GD = total points scored)
2) GW31, which is the semi-final second leg, is currently projected to have fewer than six matches so it'll likely be a void GW, meaning the semi-final second leg will be GW32 and the final will be GW33
3) Running bad = Team Name Censored, he has the fifth highest score of all teams over the past five GW but is bottom of Group D going into the final round of matches.

glad i am already through in the cup guessing unless something drastic happens in next hour i will be heading out the lms too

Ignore that my team wasn't as bad as i first thought

Yup....Looks like it's me. Mahrez in really worked out for me :)

GG Noose, a bench rejig with Niasse ahead of Phil Jones would've saved you. Blame Phil.

I thought we lost two sisters last week? They are still top of lms league

1)The Dazzler and AFC Wrenny Raidder qualify as they have the two best records of the third-place teams.
2) Looking at how TD ran this comp last year, the second round was seeded with group winners vs runners up. We'll follow that format again, but with only seven groups we need one more first seed. That honour goes to Killer River as he had the best record of any group runner-up.
3) All knockout matches are two legs, Round 2 L1 = GW26, Round 2 L2 = GW27

Cheers, I was sure I'd added the league suspension and removed TSP. Fixed now.

just to clarify we are playing as normal week 31?

GW31 will be a void GW as there will be a max of five games going ahead and there needs to be six to make it a valid GW. The semi-final second leg will be GW32 and the final will be GW33.

Is there going to be someone knocked out lms this week dino?

Just took a look and have booted out Daveyboyslegends. 14 teams left. Will post the cup results later today.

oh i thought someone said last season it was still valid for LMS and cup weeks but i am ok either way

I'm following the same format The Dazzler used last year so in GW 31:

LMS will count - we will lose a player
Cup games will be postponed to GW32.

gangsta

A tough draw for AFC Wrenny Raiders, i just hope the boys enjoy the occasion & give it their all.

GL Dazzler

Who left the league? WTF I have 98 points in GW27. Why I havent passed the round? Is this a joke?  The Dazzler lost from me. Little General
I am in the league Blonde Poker £30 cups package, what are you talking?

Yep I think you're right.
I presume it was just a clerical error.

Hey Damir, apologies for the mistake you're clearly through and in the quarterfinals. I've amended the draw to reflect this.

I'll tell you the process I went through so you can see/understand what happened I took a long time trying to find your ream... I checked for the scores as usual and couldn't find your team in the league. I checked again. I hit ctrl+f and searched for your team name. No luck. I checked the master spreadsheet for your real name and to see what leagues you were in and it was only the £30 Cups so I couldn't check your score via another league. I then went back to the Cups league and searched again. Nothing. I then saw that there was a team in 8th place and a team in 10th place, a team was missing. I put two and two together and figured maybe you were maxed on leagues and left so you could join another league (we'd just had an annoying break of two weeks of course). I clearly made five.

I genuinely don't know why your team was not appearing. I wasn't even using the useless app :) Best of luck in the quarterfinals.

IN LMS this week there was a tie between Leeroy Jenkins and Bluffalo Bantams, with both teams scoring 44 points.

The tie breaks are:

1) Goals scored
2) Goals conceded

Leeroy Jenkins - GS = 2 (Salah, Kane)
Bluffalo Bantams - GS = 3 (Salah, Kane, Firmino)

So, by the tightest of margins, we lose Leeroy Jenkins.

LMS captains choice this week

9x kane
2x aguero
1x marhez

my gamble could cost me dear i thought i change back to kane last night i couldnt make my mind up

Gamble looks to have paid off handsomely...

aslong as Kane and Aguero dont have monsters but looking good so far 1 goal 1 assist and 3 bonus points unless they have changed the scores for bonus points in last hour

I took a gamble on Hazard and that didn't go so well :(

ffs marhez only got the 1 bonus point in the end

I'm no longer in LMS, but took a huge risk on captaining Kenedy. Worked supremely well. Only good thing I have done all season mind ..

Just rub it in Peter

aguero injured in training and kane off in first half gamble worked out well

Wow....Big Cojones!!

My pleasure.  8)


Massive.

This is the only time I've ever been able to brag in FPL, so I'm making the most of it  :D

Well done mate. Hope the season ends on the up and up for you.

I'm out of LMS this week.

Please note that I'll be remaining in the league for admin purposes but am obviously not eligible for any prizes.

Champions League semi-finals half-time scores. Leg two takes place in GW32

1. The Boys 36 vs 25 Valar Dohaeris FC
2. Little General 37 vs 44 Monson Magic

I've gone with the rarely seen 3-2-1 formation this week - it's actually performing quite well :)

i seem to be one of the few in LMS to take there free hit this week some of the teams that didnt take the free hit might beat me

hope taking the free hit this week doesnt hurt my chances later on in the league

Ideal week for the free hit - unfortunately many of us had already played it.

Tighty survives in LMS due to the four-point hit taken by Crystal Hamlets to transfer Steve Mounie in.

A reminder that it's leg two of the Champions League semi-finals this gameweek. Half-time scores:

1. The Boys 36 vs 25 Valar Dohaeris FC
2. Little General 37 vs 44 Monson Magic

I'd advise anyone against 'updating' the FPL app-it now boots me out every time after about ten seconds.

Did we lose Tighty in LMS this week? 8 left?

Yes, we lose Tighty this week from LMS.

I also think I’ve got my maths wrong as they’ll be three teams, rather than the intended two, left in GW38. At this late stage and with chips etc in play I think it should just play out as it is rather than lose two teams in GW37 or a.n.other gameweek, so three teams left in the final gameweek. Fyi: top four pay.

haha I wondered that last night. Cool.

Champions League semi-final results:

Congratulations to both finalists of the CL!

What will happen if Harry Kane's goal appeal is upheld, will the scores be amended?

He swears "on his daughter's life" that he touched it.

LMS is getting dicey think we are going to be losing sheriff as he has a -4 deduction

the H2H is going to the wire top 2 fight it out in week 35 before we go to the play off


2 matches left and 2 points separate 3-8 and those just behind the top 8 are looking to sneak into the play offs

defeat for m this week saw me slip from 3rd to 6th at the wrong time

I think it's too late for the FPL scores to be revised now.

Scores can be amended in fpl up to the point where they actually add the bonus points.  After that it won't be changed.

Bugger  :'(

Champions League semi-final results:

1. The Boys (36 +60) 96 vs 103 (25+78) Valar Dohaeris FC
2. Little General (37+87) 124 vs 118 (44+74) Monson Magic (LG triple captaining Salah proved the difference)

Champions League final result

Valar Dohaeris FC 24 vs 34 Little General

Not a final for the ages, but congrats to Little General on winning the Champions League final.

Payouts:
1st. £240: Little General
2nd. £120: Valar Dohaeris FC
3rd and 4th: £30 each: The Boys/Monson Magic

In LMS we lose Valar Dohaeris FC. Seven teams left.

arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

i forgot to treble lukaku as every other LMS has bench boosted and nearly full squad playing twice i am in massive trouble this week and might aswell do a southampton and throw in the towel

Yikes! I normally do mine straight after the GW opens just in case.

Decent start for me this week with Alonso and Willian assists. Morata could be dropped for their next game, if anyone has him?

Alonso should of been sent off. (i am not bitter)

Might still get retrospectively banned.

doesnt help southampton or my fantasy h2h

I own him so hope if he gets banned, he gets banned after Chelsea play their 2nd game of the game week!



FIXED THE QUOTE EDITED

your safe he has been charged but wont miss the league game midweek

Nice....Do you know whether it is a 3 match ban? How many league matches?

Lukaku on bench glad i never trebled him after all still likely me going out of LMS and possibly missing the play off in H2H after being 3rd at the start of last week

still time to put in a defense

ok i was wrong suspended tonight and the cup semi and 1 more match after that

Underwhelming double game week.

Last night's game somehow managed to produce the perfect combination of scores for me to win my H2H game and for Two Sisters Probably to lose theirs, giving me a 4 point lead in the league before we meet in the final week of fixtures.

I wasn't holding out much hope of winning the final match up as Two Sisters still have their Free Hit chip available, so thankfully it's now a dead rubber as far as the league is concerned.

In LMS we lose JuniorSenior.

wow I survived and still have bench boost and triple cpt. Guessing top teams still have wild card and free hit left

Think the majority will be using their free hit this week and then triple captaining Kane in GW37. Jesus could be a good alternative but hard to look beyond Kane given how aggressively he is chasing the Golden Boot.

Need Mitch to slip up in the final week of H2H this weekend to sneak into the money.

i need the pair of you to slip up, but i am not even 100% sure of a play off spot, amazing how tight it is 3rd to 9th

I hate this time teams are in but can't see what I am up against I have had to take 8 point hit to field a team but using my triple this week to boost GW37 if I am still involved in anything. But the 8 point hit will kill me if everyone is free hitting and wild cards today

bugger everyone is freehitting

Not quite everyone.

you have h2h won already congrats

Salah in line to get the most FPL points ever in a season if memory serves me right.

I think  Suarez got 297.

bugger busted LMS and not sure if i made top 8 for H2H play off

disaster

Unlucky mate, was a brave decision to take an 8 point hit and use triple captain over free hit but there's a fine line between fpl disaster and fpl genius

i had used the free hit last round of the FA cup so had no option really had to take the hit

Unlucky Iron. Down to five and we're on the bubble.

Need Spurs to go off the boil tonight.

A Watford win out of nowhere is fine or a 1-1 with a Kane goal. Good sweat for the last couple of weeks.

yeah could do without kane and ali scoring much tonight in the h2h my last chance of a prize and i have 20 point lead against captained kane and ali
bench boost next week will be handy if i am still in the running for something

bugger

kane red card might workk

think i just went out on goals scored after a tie


roll on next season

Looks like I survived in LMS by the skin of my teeth.

Whats the crack now, in the money and lose one next week then play 3 ways for the top 3 prizes in GW38?

Exactly that, it should've been heads-up going into the last gameweek but I got my maths wrong. By the time I/you realised the situation around GW33 it seemed the best case of action rather than eliminating two teams in one GW.

Deece  :)up

Commiserations to Gareth J/Premier Lead who bubbles the LMS league by just two points. Kane's goal got Horneris over the line.

That Friday night football will catch a few people out. I was minutes away from not playing the triple captain chip.

i set my team up last night including changing captain

yet today captain hasnt been changed

lucky i am not involved in anything apart from trying to get as high a finish as i can

Great story from this week with Stuart Broad finishing number 1 in the world for GW37 out of almost 6million players! Seems being a world class sportsman is a transferable skill!  ;tightend;

Would of been more impressed if it was a dart player  180

A great run for Team name censored (Phillip Marsh) in LMS he falls just short of the final, but collects £40 for finishing fourth.

The final week is a three-man shootout between:

No Kane No Gain (Martin Sutcliffe)
(.)(.) (david tighe)
No Place I'd Radebe (Brent Horner)

For:

1st. £240
2nd. £160
3rd. £80

Good luck all, once the season is over I'll update the original post with the full list of winners and send out PMs to arrange transfer of prizes.

Gaaaaaaaaaah

Mahrez to Martial for a hit on final day was not my finest moment. Wp Phillip.

Have I managed to squeak over the line by like 2 points or something? Very lucky if so as I've been in free fall on the home straight. Well done who ever won the LMS, I went out of that last week.

Yea fairly sure your gonna pip me by a few points. Saints holding on for the clean sheet would have been enough too. Bad last couple of weeks for me too with triple captain failing and this week.

Bring on the world cup!

Well done to David Tighe for winning LMS. Pretty happy with 2nd myself, a cool comp where two players who wouldn't have even been top 6 in the bigger Blonde fantasy comps can take down the prizes with dogged consistency. Enjoyed it!

Cheers to the guys running this, I'll be back to donate again next year.

Hi guys,

Thanks for running it this season.  Season to forget from me pretty much.  Will donate again next year.  Well done everybody

PM send Dino, many thanks for organising  ;applause; :)up

Thanks for running Nick!

Payout received, thanks a lot to Dino for running the leagues so well this year.  Hope you are back next year.

Standard was high which I enjoyed,  Congrats to all the winners.

Can't wait till next season now!

Thank you for running, see you next season. Do you have plan to run ML for World cup too?

Hello, just wondering if the FPL leagues will be run again this season, I've heard good things about them and would like to join in. Thanks

ClarkeH of FPL Mag group?? The leagues will run again this season, waiting for the World Cup to finish first but then I’ll get the details up. Not all leagues are open to members of <3 months, this is to stop sharks entering all the leagues, but you will be able to enter the £100 Classic league as well as a H2H league, a Cups league and a Last Man Standing league. If you can get your post count up to ten then you’ll also be able to receive PMs, which will help when sending out league codes.

Would be interested in joining the 100 pound league again. Finished rock bottom last year, so it's all hands to the pump now this season!

Yes you're right, was part of FFMAG team. Thanks for letting me know the details, very interested in £100 league for sure, I'll try and get my post count up to 10 then!

Hello. No leagues this year? Cheers

There will be leagues. I started a new job at the start of this month and haven’t had time to set everything up as yet. It will be much the same as last season though.

Ok, thanks. Good luck in the new job:)
