Good luck to you two vying at the top!

In the battle for 4th and 5th I was very pleased to see Lampard not playing, as virtually everyone except me had him. I made a simple final transfer of Vidic to Toure, but Stoke have just scored so that's not gonna help me.

Going by my quick calculations (not guaranteed) Rick has held on and I have been pipped for 3rd spot by 1pt.

My Initial Guestimation:

Rick - 636pts
Weighty - 632pts
Mutabi - 616pts
Pa102aw - 615pts
Yardie - 600pts

I get quite different figures, and make it you've held onto third comfortably:

Weighty 637
Rich 631
Pa102aw 615
Mutebi 606
"Yardie" 599
Stan's 593
Doomsday 590

Just had another look and by gosh I think that you are correct. That's what you get when you can't add 595 + 11, I thought it came to 616. I also forgot that I was 15 points ahead of Mutebi going into today. Looks like a cool £1000 to your old Pa.

Nice one Pa, just when you thought the day couldn`t get any better

First look at this comp this year - congrats to all the winners. It looks like it is a little of a monopoly so whilst interested for next year I am immediately concerned that it amy not be around to participate properly in!

Need to understand the strategy for Manager selection though....is there a thread that discusses this and provides a sensible conclusion ???

Well at least I managed to finish above the Saint this season , many congrats to this season's top five ...

Well done to all the top 5

Feel a wee bit sorry for Rick all the same. He led from week 1 all the way through the competition only to be pipped on the last game of the season.

Yes but he does have the 2.5k from winning the 1st stage to soften the blow

Unlike in the Egg Cup Well done to the men in the money. Hope they runs this again next year

Top from the opening day and toppled at the death

I had to make a few weird transfers near the end to give myself a chance in the overall competition. So my last few transfers weren't really things I wanted to do but the guy in second had virtually the same side as me and a 14 point lead so I had to change things around a bit to give myself a chance. Unfortunately it went quite badly

Anyway, congratulations to winsomniac. Hopefully this game will be back next year when I'll return to reclaim my rightful place

Cheers Rich - hopefully I can give you a run for your money again next season

Anyone heard any news about the prize money from this yet?

Reckon its the same for all fantasy comps..i'm still awaiting payout from the Sun and Mirror..

Admin is the Mini League Manager and he will put up a post once he receives our winnings. Like all other Fantasy Football Games they take our money in seconds, but it takes yoinks for them to pay out.

The halfway prize took about a month and came with a note hurriedly written in green biro so I'm guessing their fantasy football administration department isn't a big one

Classy!

Just had an Email from Fantasy League Support advising that the list of prize
winners has been sent across to Absolute Radio.

Had an email from Absolute Radio today confirming FISO as the league winner and a cheque for £5,000 should be with me early next week.

Thanks

£5,000 cheque arrived today from Absolute Radio for the Fiso Forum winning the Private League.

Please can the managers of the top 5 teams contact me with their full name, bank sort code and account number so I can organise transfers next week.

Received my winnings today.

Thanks for Managing the Mini League Admin, hope you do it again next year.
