Egg Premier League 2017/18

Post by **happyhoppy** » 19 May 2018, 19:11

Adios then. Even more reason to dislike Man U and Mourinho (and Valencia).

Congratulations to Zipnolan on his first Premier title.

Unlucky happyhoppy, but still better than southampton going down and you staying up.

Think most of us have had a poor year this year, have you been premier league since the onset of the game?

Post by **happyhoppy** » 19 May 2018, 19:41

I came in a year after if my memory serves me right. Murf will no doubt recall. Ironically first season I don’t run the Egg competition too.

Been a terrible year FF wise best team around 3k so no complaints.

Must admit to losing a bit of love of FF this year probably down to a poor Saints season too.

Summer off and go again hopefully.

Congrats to Zipnolan on a fine victory

Post by **zipnolan** » 19 May 2018, 19:48

Thanks - definitely a lucky season for me, starting with my punt on Gross in week one.

Sorry to see Hoppy go (in whichever emotional state he's currently occupying); somehow the Premier League won't have the same passion next season.

Can't imagine he won't be looking in from time to time. Bit disappointed I won't be rejoining this league at the first attempt. But of course I have been rubbish..

Cheers and

well my passion has been waning for a while hence Mystery taking over the reins this season.

I like to get some dialogue and banter going but at times it does feel like I’m talking to myself.

Just keep Murf away from title 4 chaps.

Sorry to see you go Hoppy and a painful way for it to happen (Saints stayed up though which is far more important in the scheme of things).

Well done to Des for a remarkable escape and congratulations to Zip on winning the Egg Cup.

Enjoy your summer and see you in early August.

Post by **happyhoppy** » 19 May 2018, 20:23

Yep I’d take Saints staying up over the egg league every time!
New challenge now gaining promotion maybe it will get my mojo back a bit.

You’re my tip to win next season Maldini don’t let me down now. No pressure.

Not sure when you came in but first 'season' was only a part season that all stemmed from 4(?) of us 'debating' on the best way forward with thelip's team, his first TFF effort IIRC.

A lot (inc HH?) then joined in for season 2 using Hansen's team in the format that essentially remains today.

PS Congratulations zipnolan and those in 2nd-5th.

PPS Anybody dropping out to save uhh???? I won't be that generous, sorry.

Post by **happyhoppy** » 19 May 2018, 21:45

Only those in 11th and 12th probably

Post by **Mystery** » 19 May 2018, 22:12

The final scores are below. A top 1000 finish was required then in order for this league to be won. Well played zipnolan.

Zipnolan also won the Golden Boot and slightly surprisingly in the end The Woolster had the best Starting XI team score.

The league will finish 68th in the League of Super Leagues.

The combined league table just for fun

Post by **zipnolan** » 20 May 2018, 14:17

Many thanks Mystery for your tremendous organisation! The consolidated tables and the colour coded teamsheets were great.

Thank you. I hope to add to that with a lot more chat next season. Been a busy year in real life and the summer is going to be more of the same!

Post by **happyhoppy** » 20 May 2018, 16:46

All that was great Mystery a real step up from what I could do.

Only blip was forgetting the cups!

Post by **Mystery** » 20 May 2018, 16:46

Haha yeah ok. That will be rectified next season!

You could always do it retrospectively from your stats.

Being a runner has taught me you don't have to rise to every challenge that someone else sets...

Post by **top banana** » 20 May 2018, 23:55

Congratulations Zip, and thanks for organising Mystery!
Sorry (U)HH - I'll be back again next year, expecting you to bounce straight back - just glad my SL isn't ever as hard to crack as this.
Cheers
JC

Maybe Des.....

(Not been on here to soak up his escape).

Post by **Bill Ferny** » 04 Jun 2018, 19:25

Congrats to Zip & to Mystery for exemplary organisation - Sorry I'm so late with this, across my teams I'm so disappointed the way I managed my teams on the run-in from good positions - Try again next year I guess!

Post by **happyhoppy** » 06 Jun 2018, 11:23

Has Des claimed his place yet.....

You're keen

Post by **happyhoppy** » 07 Jun 2018, 08:57

Only keen to retain my place. Other than that I’m so meh about FF tbh. Hoping the summer will rekindle my enthusiasm.
