Payment:

I can take bank or PayPal. My account details for both are the same as they've ever been. So, if you know what leagues you'd like to join send funds and then drop me a DM and I'll send you the codes. If you need the details again, then DM me and I'll let you know.

I'm happy to set up the Blonde 20 Classic league, as it's the one I was planning to enter.

i am taking a year off from fantasy so wont be entering any league this year

In for both Draft leagues if space is available. Also open to a higher buy-in Draft league to mix things up if anyone's interested and we can find enough ppl?

What do you think Dino?

In for any draft leagues

Will flick in for one of head to head and lms

I’m in for the draft leagues as usual & happy to enter another/ additional one at a higher buy in if that runs
I’m good for Wed 3rd also

Sent money and DMd.  Thanks for running again Dino.

I said I wasn’t going to play but here I am sending you £90 for the £50 £20 and £20LMS.  My wife is gonna hate me so i just need to pretend it is her or something else that is pissing me off and not FPL :-)

Does anyone know if you can do 2 drafts concurrently? Our friends draft league has also opted for August 3rd.

Cheers

I haven't done it personally but I have friends who do 2 at a time on different browsers...or alternatively on the phone and the laptop at the same time.

Thanks. I'm in for the draft then!

Please add me to the interest list for the £50 draft league

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.

In for 3, 5, 6 and 7 and the two drafts. Sent £140 across. Thanks for running again.

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.

I’m in for the £50’ draft as well

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

In for 3,4,6 and £20 draft please Dino. I have transferred the money to the usual account.

Sent money over for both £20 drafts and 4+5 still up for the £50 draft if it’s running

I'm happy to be involved in the 50 draft too. Is there a minimum number we are looking at?

Minimum would be six and we’re at seven fas of now.

In for 3,4,6. Let me know bank details Dino and I'll send the £60

One more needed, roll up roll up.

I've set 7 different alarms, will I remember the draft for the first time in years?!!!

This is your 15 minute warning.

 ;spam; ;bump;

Roll up roll up

1 more needed!

In for 2,3,6.

Thanks for running this again.

Sent entry for 4, 5, 6 and 7.

Thanks

Just sent for £20 classic!

Entry to the H2H leagues is now closed.

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

Everyone who has sent money should have the codes for their respective league(s). If you don’t please post in this thread or DM me.

Are we keeping Last Man Standing league open? I guess we’ve got a few weeks before we hit eliminations.

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.

Prizes for this season are in the screenshot below, I'll also add it to the OP.

Last Man Standing starts this gameweek (GW17).

In LMS it’s Gg Goaty. His score of 67 points was the lowest of GW17, with Mitch’s 76 the second lowest.

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.

Phew!  Talk about fine margins.

A long overdue LMS update.

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.

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.

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)

Hey Curtis,

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

LMS eliminations update:

GW26: Get Mitch of Die Tryin
GW27: 1-2 Teddy
GW28: Balsamic Bruiser

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)

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.

Bluffalo Bantams were eliminated from LMS in GW31.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Congratulations to Alverton (71 points) on winning LMS. Amor Fati (67 points) finishes as runner-up.

Well done to Nick (Dino) on winning the big blonde leagues. Picked up Dom Solanke at the right time to take over then made zero mistakes in the last 3 months. Incredible season mate

Blonde FPL is hard to win.

I bottled the Wilson Captain in gw36 to get in the mix but saying that Bobbins didn’t put a foot wrong for months.

Congratulations winners.

Well done to Nick for winning the leagues (& running them!)
Blonde FPL the toughest leagues to win in these days!

What was the winning total?

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.

Thanks all for playing, the 2023-24 season will most likely launch in early July, once it does I'll be back with details of next season's leagues.

Payment is now complete. if you believe you are missing prize money please drop me a DM.

Thanks to everyone for playing, see you next season.

The game has launched for the 2023/24 season. I’ll start a thread shortly with details of the leagues for the coming season.

Hi guys,

would be good to get a date/time booked in for the draft leagues
(assume we are running them again this year!)

thanks,
Paul
