Hi,

Could I enter 7 please.

Am I able to enter my Dad again? 

If so, can he enter 4, 5, 6

£320 total? 

I'll send across.


Title: Re: Blonde FPL 22-23
Post by: Gazza on July 27, 2022, 08:26:51 PM
In for 3, 5, 6 and 7 and the two drafts. Sent £140 across. Thanks for running again.


Title: Re: Blonde FPL 22-23
Post by: Sheriff Fatman on July 28, 2022, 09:37:25 AM
3, 4 and 5 for me please.

Will miss the cups package this year, but I assume that's a combination of admin hassle and cup competitions being added into the leagues themselves.

Thanks for running them again.


Title: Re: Blonde FPL 22-23

Yeah, it's mainly the admin hassle, and that I'm always behind on updating the results. The pool of entrants for the cups has been shrinking every season, possibly connected to my lack of admin, so felt it best not to run them at all, rather than run them badly.

Thanks for running the leagues again, Nick. I've just transferred you the money and sent a DM

Entry to the H2H leagues is now closed.

Entry to the Classic Leagues remain open until the GW1 deadline.

Hey Greg,

I’ll leave it open until the first IB (GW8) so if you know anyone who wants to join then send them my details, as long as they created their team in GW1 then they’re welcome to join.


Title: Re: Blonde FPL 22-23
Post by: dino1980 on October 11, 2022, 10:04:02 PM
Prizes for this season are in the screenshot below, I'll also add it to the OP.

Last Man Standing starts this gameweek (GW17).


Title: Re: Blonde FPL 22-23
Post by: dino1980 on December 30, 2022, 05:58:33 PM
In LMS it’s Gg Goaty. His score of 67 points was the lowest of GW17, with Mitch’s 76 the second lowest.


Title: Re: Blonde FPL 22-23
Post by: dino1980 on January 02, 2023, 02:52:29 PM
LMS GW 18:

We had a tie.

The first tiebreaker is the number of goals scored by the players in your team.

Both Real Satoshi and Bee Sting FC scored two goals (Haaland and Rashford).

The second tie-breaker is countback (last week's score).

Real Satoshi: 83
Bee Sting FC: 87

So Real Satoshi is eliminated on countback.


Title: Re: Blonde FPL 22-23

Phew!  Talk about fine margins.

A long overdue LMS update.



Title: Re: Blonde FPL 22-23
Post by: dino1980 on February 24, 2023, 06:26:52 PM
GW 24 LMS result:

Kolpak is already eliminated from the league in GW 19 so Cider Country is eliminated.

I don't think Live FPL picks up on teams eliminated from leagues after the GW deadline.

Both Real Satoshi and Bee Sting FC scored two goals (Haaland and Rashford).

The second tie-breaker is countback (last week's score).

Real Satoshi: 83
Bee Sting FC: 87

So Real Satoshi is eliminated on countback.

From what I can work out, I think I may have survived a tie break for the 2nd time this season in GW25.  My 77 (-4) and Ha Ha Land's 85 (-12) both level on 73 points.  My team has 4 goals (Haaland, Salah, Saka and Odegaard), his has 3 (Haaland, Salah and Saka).

Assuming so, I feel a Phil Hellmuth "I can dodge bullets, baby" is in order.


Title: Re: Blonde FPL 22-23
Post by: Junior Senior on March 02, 2023, 04:45:06 PM
I think i get the W due to taking more of an upside chasing line with a -12. You will be expelled for nittiness, i am sure! That said anyone with Tarkowski in their team should me immediately banned.

Good luck all for the rest of the season, i am not sure i will last it out to be honest and i am certainly going to make this my last season. (Yes i have said that before, but this time it feels real)

You’re correct in your analysis. Sorry Greg, best of luck for the rest of the season.

Another tie in LMS...

1st tiebreaker = goals scored, and both teams were tied on 6 goals each
2nd tiebreaker = count back (last week's score)

forest badgers - 62
Valiant Gunners - 49 (eliminated)

Post by: dino1980 on April 15, 2023, 03:35:52 PM
I was eliminated from LMS in GW30 (thanks Mo for missing that penalty). 

I remain in the league for admin purposes but can’t win any prize.


Title: Re: Blonde FPL 22-23

Bluffalo Bantams were eliminated from LMS in GW31.


Title: Re: Blonde FPL 22-23
Post by: dino1980 on April 25, 2023, 06:01:24 PM
A tie in LMS.

1st Tiebreaker (goals scored): Another tie, four each.
2nd Tiebreaker (countback - GW31s score) - Amor Fati (83), Bee Sting FC (69).

So Bee Sting FC is eliminated. Unlucky Curtis, you'd survived twice this season when tieing for the lowest score.


Title: Re: Blonde FPL 22-23
Post by: Sheriff Fatman on April 26, 2023, 12:26:38 PM
3rd time definitely not the charm!

In fairness, it was a miracle to get to a tie, given the gap going into Sunday.  I was the only one not to play Saka and I had Johnstone on the bench.

Needed something spectacular from Isak and Bowen, and Newcastle and Wesh Ham's performances did at least give me a sweat.

Thanks for running and good luck to those still standing.

GW33 LMS:

Robert Miss (Bench Fodder) is eliminated with a score of 54, Alverton (56) survives.


Title: Re: Blonde FPL 22-23
Post by: dino1980 on May 06, 2023, 03:16:07 PM
GW34 LMS: Kid Unknown is eliminated. The final four are all in the money.

A reminder also that there are cup competitions happening in the classic leagues and there’s a cash prize for the winner of each cup.


Title: Re: Blonde FPL 22-23
Post by: dino1980 on May 13, 2023, 01:27:37 PM
GW35 LMS:
TAA Very Much (Stephen Morris) - 28 pts
Forest Badgers - 36 points
Alverton - 37 points
Amor Fati - 42 points

TAA Very Much is eliminated in fourth place (£40).

Edit: it’s not allowing me to suspend TAA from the league because the cup has started, but just to confirm he is eliminated.


Title: Re: Blonde FPL 22-23
Post by: dino1980 on May 20, 2023, 12:02:53 AM
GW36 LMS:

Same as last week I can’t eliminate any teams.

But to confirm;

Forest Badgers (89 points) is eliminated in third place (£80)

Leaving Alverton and Amor Fati left to decide who wins LMS.


Title: Re: Blonde FPL 22-23
Post by: dino1980 on May 28, 2023, 03:31:49 PM
Congratulations to Alverton (71 points) on winning LMS. Amor Fati (67 points) finishes as runner-up.

Thanks everyone for playing and thanks for the kind words Brent/Alverton/Paul,  it was one hell of a battle and a very high standard as usual.

In the next 48 hours I’ll go through the leagues and post a full list of prize winners and contact those who’ve won.

I’ll be running the same leagues next season so if you want to rollover prize money for entry fees let me know.

I’ll endeavour to send back via the same method you sent funds (bank or PayPal) prize winners please feel free to contact me with your details/ preferred method.

Hey all,

The list of prize winners is attached. All but two have been paid tonight via bank or paypal. Noose/Stribling you have a DM for payment details.

If you believe I have sent an incorrect amount please drop me a DM.
