[jeffmcgow]

We have 73 confirmed teams in the Decimation League. Thank you everyone for signing up

Details can be found in the 2nd post of this thread.

There are 5 unknown managers:
52. Chiemena Okafor - ELiTE Hotspurs
54. simon deane - smd
59. Craig Pool - Poolermo FC
74. Greg Rawles - Diiiirty Sanchez
76. Joe Chestock - Pede's All Stars

The 5 unknown managers will be removed after the first FPL update.

PS I'll be using Mav3rick's website to collate the information: https://ratemyteam.uk/Fiso/SideGameData/342300/1 (last number is the gameweek)

Rules

Eliminations will occur at the end of each GW if the GW points score before hits ends in zero.

If more than 12% of the field get a score ending in zero, no-one gets eliminated.

No eliminations will take place in GW38.

Person at the top of the table at the end of the season gets £50.

Good luck all

plevna1963 entered just after the gameweek deadline so we are now up to 74 confirmed entrants.

The league is now closed to new entrants.

I'll now remove the following unknown managers:
52. Chiemena Okafor - ELiTE Hotspurs
54. simon deane - smd
59. Craig Pool - Poolermo FC
74. Greg Rawles - Diiiirty Sanchez
76. Joe Chestock - Pede's All Stars

If any of the five makes a post on here before the end of this gameweek I will gladly reinstate him.

[Le Red]

Well that didn't last long for me due to an annoying Valencia yellow card. But at least I'm leaving with a 90

You might still survive though, Le Red. If more than 12% of the league have a score ending in 0, everyone gets a reprieve.

It'll be a nervous wait

PS Nice score

78 Safely thru the 1st hurdle

[S_sutton87]

Through with 94 would have been gutted to go week 1

Through with 81.

A booking away from the abyss.

[jeffmcgow]

There are some pretty good scores this week so 67 doesn't even get me in the top 1,000,000.

Made it through to GW2 though

70

Looks like I'm outta here.

You should have copied our Draft team Jeff that got an incredible 69

It's even higher than 69, backlash. There are a couple of auto-subs still to be made

[Backlash]

I don't know what an auto-sub is but I'm all over it!

It was fun while it lasted.

[flyingkillercob]

It's best to leave early to beat the rush. Thanks for having me

Are you not suspending the players? They are still showing in the list on FPL site

[jeffmcgow]

My plan was to suspend the players a couple of days before the new gameweek starts. That way the people on my elimination list get a chance to say: "Hang on Jeff, you've messed up"

I'll be tidying the list up tonight.

[MoSe]

Killing them slowly...

[jeffmcgow]

The unfortunates have now been carried away and we are left with 67.

In the next round 0-8 people will be eliminated (9/67 is 13% and so the Emperor will grant a pardon - he's kind like that.)

Edit - I'm sticking with plan A: scores before hits will be used for eliminations.

[MoSe]

You know that the net gw score is not reported as such anywere in fpl in a team data (except for h2h matches results)

You're forcing yourself to perform a calculation for every team, with two input items (GP-TC)

or, to rely on Mav's league tool

Good point MoSe, and I suppose I better get this clear in my rules before GW2 starts.

So, the score which appears on the points tab: is this the score before hits? I've been playing 3 seasons and just can't remember

Would it be best to go back to using points before deductions do you think MoSe.

PS Thanks for watching my back on this one

PPS I'll also be using Mav's league tool

[MoSe]

Mav's tool only shows net points (youd have to calculate back to GP by adding back TC)

FPL only shows "gross" points (GP = Gameweek Points)

Easier for you depends on whether you use League standings directly from fpl,
OR if you use Mav's tool

Either way is ok
I'd suggest to test it both ways, see what it takes, then decide

[andybarrell]

use GWS column form here https://ratemyteam.uk/Fiso/SideGameData/342300/1

each game week just change the last number in web browser to match game week

[andybarrell]

just be aware that some teams dont fully display on this

Payne 'n Niasse Greg Hill for some reason shows zero

sorry for the x-post

Yes, in the points tab your gw score before hits is shown in big (Final Poits). You also get gw transfer and hits in small on the right above the pitch e.g. Transfers 2(-4p)
Points before hits are also shown in the Points/Rankings summary below your fpl country flag (Gameweek Points:)
If you go in the Gameweek History page, you see in the table:
GP - Gameweek Poins, before hits
TM - Transfers Made
TC - Transfers Cost (as positive i.e. a 4 Cost is a -4p Hit)
If you go in fpl league standings, again you see GW which is Round Score, before hits, and TOT

Only the match result in a H2H League is after hits

Yes, that's the easy alternative I was suggesting as well
In this case it's just tge same, in general tho you shouldn't be choosing rules depending on the tools!

Also with the known zero score caveat in Mav's tool.
I think it's FPL fault.
As a workaround, i first copy grid data in a temporary location, check for zero-scores, manually correct, only then copy in the "good" grid range

[jeffmcgow]

Great feedback MoSe and Andy, and very much appreciated.

I'll go back to plan A and show points before hits. I'll be able to get this off the FPL site or using Mav's tool (the "P" column).

Thanks again guys.

[MoSe]

Mav's tool only shows net points

or using Mav's tool (the "P" column).

P
Points
Points scored this GW (does not include hits)

either that's a later addition I always overlooked
or it didn't actually work as advertised (Mav had a few changes to meet new requests)

You'd better double check when there will be actual hits, I hope it's my slip, as I had actually asked for BOTH GP and net GWS to be displayed in Mav's tool, I just never realised my wish had been granted!

Your wish is Mav's command, MoSe

Good point. I'll make sure I double check the info in the "P" column.
