Re: FISO 5AS 2021/22 Recruitment/General
The Aristocrats will be returning to defend the title.
Unfortunately seasoned Aristocrat, the silkworm, has not joined up. So we thank him for his service since joining us in the 16/17 season.
As one door closes another opens, so a big welcome to taivt who has agreed to join us.
The competition looks strong!

Re: FISO 5AS 2021/22 Recruitment/General
Man what an awesome post and lineup. Would love to play with you guys again in the future guys and good luckJoccki_10 wrote: ↑31 Aug 2021, 11:58 Return of Former Champions
I am incredibly pleased to inform you that the Compadres will come out of retirement and return to compete in the FISO 5AS league again. After a two-year sabbatical the board of directors like to increase the competitiveness of the league and maybe even have a crack at the title themselves. Looking at the quality of other teams it will be tough to replicate historical results, but the board have decided that if the Compadres perform at the same level as they have done before individually, there’s enough trust in the latest additions to rise to the occasion.
Player Recruitment
Former Dutch FPL Champion Joccki_10 will have the privileges of the captain’s armband again. He was also the team’s captain in times of former glory and is eager to return after a one-year loan spell at 1. FC Köln, the team of Goats for which he was acquired by Fuzzy and Smurphy’s Paw. Joccki_10 is a player who has done reasonably well in the past, finishing in the top 11.5k three times over the past five seasons including one exceptional overall rank of 55 in the 16/17 season.
The honours of being vice-captain will once again go to Ruth_NZ. Also a former Compadre, Ruth_NZ is one of the greatest theoretical minds with regards to FPL but according to himself "often struggles to convert the theoretical approach into practicality". Seeing that Ruth_NZ holds four finishes inside the top 14k in only five seasons of playing including a 983rd finish in the 16/17 season, it’s fair to say that the board have set their expectations high for him.
The third and final Compadre that we will see return is the wonderful TopMarx. Being a south Londoner but a resident of Medellín, Colombia, he enjoys his time researching Opta and the way they collect data from football matches. The target: build better spreadsheets and data-driven websites. TopMarx works fulltime for Fantasy Football Scout and thus holds a certain excitement for analyzing all sorts of stuff. His best overall rank came two seasons ago when he finished inside the top 3k (2774th), which led to him winning the Fantasy Football Scout Mods & Cons league. TopMarx is a player on whom the Compadres can undoubtedly build on in the latter parts of the season, as according to himself he "tends to be better in the second half of the season".
The fourth player who will represent the Compadres during the 21/22 season is none other than Smurphy’s Paw. Smurphy’s Paw is known to be a great manager with a whopping seven finishes inside the top 45k, including his best ever rank of 696 in the 17/18 season. Another one of those finishes came in the 18/19 season when the Compadres in their second year of participating lost out on retaining the 5AS H2H league title to a great 1. FC Köln side then including Smurphy’s Paw. After approaching the player a couple of weeks ago, Smurphy’s Paw couldn’t hold back his desire to join the Compadres and it only took a few days for a fee to be agreed with 1. FC Köln. With five years of 5AS experience already under his belt, Smurphy’s Paw is expected to carry the side especially during hard times.
Following the protracted negotiation to secure our first new addition, finding our fifth and final player was relatively simple. After looking at the list of free agents it was unanimously decided to approach TheRumourMill as the final Compadre. Fortunately, TheRumourMill quickly accepted the proposal so he can hereby be announced as a Compadre and the final addition to the side for the 21/22 season. TheRumourMill brings a certain risk-averse play to the team that his teammates will unquestionably profit from when tricky times arise this season. 42472nd currently stands for his best overall rank, but there is a clear improvement visible in his rank over the years and the board have shown confidence in him improving even more over the years to come. TheRumourMill himself is "eager to study the tactical side of the game".
Team setup:
Joccki_10, aka Jordie (c)
Ruth_NZ, aka Stephen (vc)
TopMarx, aka Will
Smurphy’s Paw, aka Tim
TheRumourMill, aka Christopher
The board of directors think they have established a nicely structured team. There is a well-worked balance between risk-averse and unconventional play and an adequate overview of the theoretical and tactical aspect of the game. The board wishes every team member the best of luck and hopes each will enjoy their first and second stint with the Compadres.
Compadres History
The Compadres were founded in May '17. Their starting team consisted of Joccki_10, Ruth_NZ, TopMarx, snakzz and Billy Bongo. In their first season of participating the Compadres won the 5AS league title with only five losses all season, finishing the season on 76 points. A year later the lineup remained similar. Unfortunately the Compadres were unable to retain the league title, but they did finish as runners-up and second to a great 1. FC Köln side. In their second season, they also just about lost out on more silverware whilst coming in second in the Champions League. The Reprobates got the better of them in a close and exciting final. The Compadres retired the season after due to personal circumstances.

The Barmy Army has declared their team and will be officially returning with the exact same line up as we are very loyal to our players and we feel that keeping it the same will produce a better team spirit which will hope help us get further up the table especially after last season's great start where we could have won the competition

Re: FISO 5AS 2021/22 Recruitment/General
I was about to start with the 22 declared teams but if people are quick we could have 24. We have to have an even number of teams so if 24 can't be achieved then those still looking will be out of luck I'm afraid.
My suggestion would be for the The Nuts to get one more and then, as has been done in the past a few times, the Totem Poles is formed and a bit of a recruitment push happens in the main forum.
That's what we'll look at unless there are other ideas....

To add...
I assume andybarrell is still looking so I would suggest Tall Paul hang fire in the Nuts and S_sutton87, trampie and andybarrell form the TotemPoles and we'll fill those 2 spaces. Pick a captain.

have reserved places - 1 to the Nuts & 2 to the Totem Poles.
I just checking the Nuts do want to reform. They didn't play last season so the fact they have 4 in their league may not mean much - Tall Paul and Hotpot I know are active but I'm not sure about the others. There may be more spaces available there depending on what Tall Paul (previous team captain) wants to do.

It seems Ironfist hasn't posted since March? ... and the others, apart from yourself, aren't particularly active - so it doesn't look likely. I'll put you down as first reserve - Nuts could cut one of their non-active players to make space.
