Regular EliminationsEach week, the lowest Gameweek scorer - by that I mean the
lowest GW score before transfer deductions - will be fired. That is the score which appears in the 'GW' column on the FPL table, so you'll be able to check how you're getting on via FPL directly.
If two or more players are tied for the lowest score, the elimination will rollover to the next Gameweek, in which case the two lowest (and unique) scorers will be eliminated. Eliminations can rollover ad infinitum.
Television Stage EliminationsStarting in GW20 and ending in GW35, an additional firing will take place alongside the regular elimination(s).
Each GW, all players will be divided into teams headed by a Project Manager (PM), who will be highest placed player in that team. Players will be allocated in teams by position, so for example team B in GW 20 will be comprised of players placed 2nd-8th-14th-20th-26th-32nd, team C will be 3rd-9th-15th-21st-27th-33rd etc etc.
Teams will be in the following numbers and sizes:
GW20 - Six teams of 6 players
GW21 - Four of 6, two of 5
GW22 - Two of 6, four of 5
GW23 - Five of 6
GW24 - Four of 7
GW25 - Two of 7, two of 6
GW26 - Four of 6
GW27 - Two of 6, two of 5
GW28 - Four of 5
GW29 - Three of 6
GW30 - One of 6, two of 5
GW31 - Two of 7
GW32 - Two of 6
GW33 - Two of 5
GW34 - Two of 4
GW35 - Two of 3
The highest placed players will be allocated in the smaller teams in GWs in which that occurs. Should a rollover of the regular elimination occur, the team with highest placed players shall receive an extra player (notification will be given of this).
In weeks in which all the teams have the same number of players, PMs' scores will be multiplied by the number of other players in their team (x5 in a team of 6, for example). In weeks in which some teams have one less player than other teams, the PMs of those smaller teams shall have their score multiplied by the total number of players in the bigger teams (x6 for the PM in the team of 5 in GW21, for example). The PMs of the bigger teams will still have their score multiplied by the number of other players in their team.
The PMs' multiplied scores will be added to the other players' scores to generate the team score.
The lowest scoring player not already eliminated by regular elimination in the lowest scoring (losing) team will be fired UNLESS the PM of that team has a GW score which is less than that GW's average score, in which case the PM will be fired.
Where there is a tie for lowest scoring player in the losing team (and the tying players are not already eliminated via regular elimination), the PM will be fired!If two (or more) teams tie for last place in a given week, placing will be determined by the GW scores of the Project Managers' concerned. Should that fail to determine the losing team, the tying Project Managers will be subject to the following tie-breakers:
1. Score following deduction of transfer 'hits'
2. Most goals scored in the Gameweek
3. Fewest goals conceded in the Gameweek
4. Captain points in the Gameweek
5. Assists made in the Gameweek
6. Clean sheet achieved in the Gameweek
7. FPL world ranking following Gameweek
The above tie-breakers will also be used in the event of a tie in GW38 to determine who is hired by Lord Sugar.Good luck, and I think I'll hand over to the good man himself, Lord Sugar, to remind you of what you've let yourselves in for...
