Fantasy Premier League 2016/17

[Junior Senior]

This gameweek high scorer had Defoe as his captain

And an overall rank of 4m+. Its stupid that people are allowed to enter beyond week 2 or 3.

[Noose]

Anyone know how the H2H league work in terms of first 3 places and then a playoff winner and a runner up?

Blonde Poker H2H (£20)   34   £680
1st - £300
2nd - £150
3rd - £100
Playoff Winner - £80
Runner up - £50

All payout are in the first post in the thread.
If you're asking what the above means, it's a 35 week season. 1st/2nd/3rd in the table at that point gets paid as above.
In the last 3 weeks, from GW36, the top 8 teams get drawn into a knockout cup. GW37, 4 x semi finalists. GW38, 2 x finalists.

Thanks for the explanation Dazzler....makes it more interesting that the league is set up that way. Does that mean that someone can potentially "win" twice? For example, finish in the top 3 and then win the play off as well and get 2 prizes?

Yes, exactly that.

[RobM]

Rob M was sponsoring a spot prize this season for highest game week rank. I notice this week Strike Gould made it to 2035 on the week which I don't think has been beaten.

Any other claims for that so far? Please come forward.

Details?

A little late responding on this one but here's the details so far..

Firstly - Helluva spot Greg! Alex Is indeed leading the way for the £50 highest GR spot prize. This is out of over 1000 rows of gameweek history data I've just gathered into excel from every player from all 7 leagues ITT. Thankfully took less time than I thought

The top 10 GR so far are as follows:

1. Alex Goulder GW16 GR 2,035
2. Brent Horner GW13 GR 4,606
3. Damir Rogović GW20 GR 5,618
4. Lewis Morton GW1 GR 6,102
5. Damjan Rupnik GW1 GR 7,883
6. Christopher Brammer GW4 GR 11,325
7. David Fox GW14 GR 12,760
8. Dave Hemming GW1 GR 13,286
9. Greg Hill GW1 GR 13,286
10. Shaun Conning GW10 GR 13,481

Some interesting results so far imo: No duplicate names in the top 10. You have to go down to 14th before the same name appears twice (Damjan Rupnik). 4 out of the top 10 were off to a flier being captured in GW1! Lewis' rank from that week led the way for 12 solid weeks before Brent took the top spot. His sweat unfortunately lasted much less time with Alex jumping into the lead just 3 weeks later.

How long can Alex hold the top spot for? The rank at over 2k does seem beatable. We had a few results in the top 250 last season at the business end of the season iirc so odds are it's still anyone's! Alex will no doubt hope otherwise. Good luck to all for the remainder of the season.

I hate you Costa an hour after my 2 transfers and spending all my spare cash he throws his toys out the pram

Great update!

I was going on 'feel' but glad the data backed it up.

Unless someone deliberately tries to target this prize that score from Alex could win

[Junior Senior]

Last Man Standing

We lose Chris Davidson and his Lokomotiv Newark this week with just 50 points. It will be all the more sore as he played his wildcard! Tough beat, indeed.

On to the next....

[TheDazzler]

Many thanks to MereNovice for all the legwork.
As far as I can see, The Silkworms, Stuart Wright is the only player to have definitely qualified for the round of 16. All very tight!

[diondustbin]

yeah great stuff, thanks. need two wins to stand a chance of going through (robsonkanuandjerome)

[TheDazzler]

Just as this may come up due to so many groups being so close, we'll be mirroring the actual Champions League and if 2 teams end up on the same points, it'll be their 2 x H2H games that decide who goes through, the GD will merely be an additional tiebreaker.

[Karabiner]

How is it possible that Diego Costa gets no bonus points today
