It is normally 1v8, 2v7, 3v6, 4v5 but I'd wait until FPL updates and confirms.

Absolute scenes here.

I’m done, 84 points. My opponent currently has 84 points as well, but took a hit, so 80. He has Lindelöf, Rashford and Luiz still playing who all get an extra point past 60 minutes. Nerves...

*Hold on :shock: The referee is consulting VAR*
Did Samba Shanley FC (RuudTheDudeVanTheMan) make use of some extra substitutes? One’s coming on adding a couple of points. Another joined by transfer during the week. This might be change everything ...

Commiserations to Flying Without Ings, as the farcical bonus points system gives 3 bps to both Aguero and Laporte, gifting me a 2 point win.

GW37 - Semi Finals!

Post by Tacalabala »

UPDATE

Apologies for the lack of updates over the last few weeks, I've been busy at work and trying to go to the gym more as the belly is still here! The Score Centre has been updated, bringing us right up to to date with the semi finals.

In the Super League, the defending champion Isalla has lost his crown, and his place in next year's top flight, after Joccki avenged his defeat in their semi final clash in this division last season. Ctibbits has made it to the final four in the Super League for the first time since joining in 2012/13, punishing Tall Paul's recent poor run of form with an incredible 125pts in GW36.

The Real Slim Shady also makes his debut at this stage in the top league, lining up a head-to-head between two of last season's divisional winners. Completing the championship last four is 1st place Spinynorman, who had to pull 117pts out of his selection to get past big scoring Wiseowl65. Spiny's win ensures all four Super semifinalists also qualify for next season's top flight.

Albert_ini, reigning FISO Cup winner, remains on course for the league-cup double in the BobMem League with the huge scalp of Stemania, catching him on a very rare off-week. Fellow high flyer Neath Boy is still in the hunt, though, after seeing off MPTree last weekend.

He'll play top seed Jeffmcgow, who is having a dream debut season with the latest victory coming against Mo Bot, who missed out on a quick return to the Super League. All four semifinalists have made it to the Super League next term, with Fuzzy taking his place after a tight two point win over Vsz last GW.

A big fat 125 points fired regular season top man 1Albert into the semi finals on his first season in the Spring League, with The Toon Man having to rue his luck as his 108pts would have beaten anyone else in the Ctibbits League. Next up for Al is Smurphy's Paw, who succeeded in a comparatively low scoring affair against RuudTheDudeVanTheMan.

Long time leader of the divison, Sstaffsw will feel he deserves his semi final place for his regular season showing on debut, but he had to beat longtime Spring Leaguer Multiple Scorgasms to get there. From4Corners will try to stop Staff making the final, after he saw off an off-colour Blahblah. This is F4C's first appearance in the last four since 2015/16, but he'll be hoping to go all the way this time. All four semifinalists have qualified for the Super League.

Sdhough is the only 1st place finisher to fall at the first knockout hurdle, crash 'n burning to Bob Newhart gigantic 128pts in The Real Slim Shady. That result means only Sdhough is assured of a Super League place at the moment.

Latvia will have to wait another year to taste Spring League victory, as Ralfbergs was well short of the performance levels required, scoring just 47 to let Ajcairns cruise through to a final four tie with Bob. Table topper of the Super League back in 2014/15, Velcro is arguably the favourite to go all the way. He squeaked past French Polynesia's Wonkypenguin and now meets Shevchenko, who took full advantage of a stumble from Bspittles to make the last four in his debut season.

Thanks for the update, Taca.

With just the MCI-LEI game to come, I'm 34-19 up against Neath Boy.

We both have Laporte-Sterling-Aguero to come, and save-magnet Ryan to come off our benches.

There is a difference though: I've gone for the dullard Aguero captaincy, while Neath Boy has gone with Sterling, so it's certainly not over yet.

Good luck for tomorrow, Neath Boy!

GW38 - Finals!

Post by Tacalabala »

UPDATE

The Finals are finally upon us, as eight FISOers duke it out for divisional glory.

To be crowned FISO Spring League champion and Super League winner
The Real Shady Shady v Spinynorman
OR: 360,996 - 77,423

Both of the finalists came through tight semi finals to make their first championship decider. Three points is all that separated Slim and Ctibbits in the end, no doubt Ctibbits will curse his selection decisions with 20pts from Ake and Masuaku sitting on the bench.

It was even closer between Spinynorman and Joccki_10, as our recently controversial Dutchman missed out by just three points for a victory. Son's out-of-character fracas and subsequent sending off proved decisive in the final summing up. Spiny has the clear edge but lacks the recent strong form of Slim who has recorded four greens over the last six weeks.

BobMem League
Fuzzy v Jeffmcgow
OR: 13,314 v 8,460

Unlike the Super League, the BobMem finalists enjoyed slightly more conformable victories in GW37. FISO Cup winner Albert_ini came up short in his attempt to secure a league-cup double, losing 63-58 to newly crowned FISO 5AS champ Fuzzy, Mo Salah making the difference in the head-to-head.

Jeffmcgow overcame an off-colour Neath Boy, as his four man defence provided a whopping 42pts, including 10 bonus points! The finalists have taken Spring League life in their stride, and now compete for a divisional title. Both are on a run of three green arrows and have on one free transfer in hand, so this could be a very close finish.

Ctibbits League
1Albert v From4Corners
OR: 1,313 v 32,012

1Albert, qualifying via the FISO Cup in the autumn, has stamped his mark all over this division, finishing 1st in the regular season and now on the brink of a title, but From4Corner will be determined to win his first after five years in the championships.

Al had no trouble putting the sword into semi final opponent Smurphy's Paw, with Salah and Digne spearheading his assault. From4Corners made it through with eight points to spare against Sstaffsw, the quick-thinking Trent Alexander-Arnold putting himself in Anfield folklore and sending F4C through.

Both are in great form, but the rankings suggest the trophy will be going back to Stoke tonight.

The Real Slim Shady League
Shevchenko v Ajcairn
OR: 47,483 v 54,379

Two little heard Cup qualifiers have come through to contest the final of what, it has to be said, is a more unusual season in the bottom flight. With the top three from the regular season all knocked out at the quarter final stage, we already knew the division was going to have an unanticipated name next term.

The two semi finals were closely fought, though variable in quality. A low scoring affair played out between Bob Newhart and Ajcairns, AJ denying Bob a dream weekend on top of his 5AS victory with Koln. Velcro-Shev served up more palatable fare, as the Indonesian defeated the one-time Super League table-topper Velcro by two points at the final whistle. Velcro still qualified for the Super League, however, ending a five year stint in the division.

The lower league final can serve up shocks, but with a relatively small difference in ranking between Shev and AJ, it's hard to pick a winner with less than an hour to go.

Best of luck to our finalists.....

The Real Slim Shady wins!

Post by Tacalabala »

UPDATE

The results are in... and Shady has won it!

Super League
The Real Shady Shady 71 - 52 Spinynorman
TRSS wins first title and automatically qualifies for the 2019/20 FISO Cup finals

Shady defied the odds to take the title, trouncing Spinynorman by a convincing 19 point margin. One suspects Spiny must have known it wouldn't be his day when captain Salah was having an un-Salah like performance. Redmond's goal and another brace of assists for TAA confirmed this was Shady's time to shine.

BobMem League
Fuzzy 50 - 70 Jeffmcgow
The higher division in 2019/20 will be named the 'Jeffmcgow League'

In contrast to the Super final, the BobMem contest went as the overall rankings predicted as Jeff secured a 20pt victory to take his first divisional crown. Another Salah bander, it was however a lack of Mane which undone Fuzzy in the end, the Premier League joint top scorer scooping another 15pts on the last day for Jeff.

Ctibbits League
1Albert 54-52 From4Corners
The intermediate division in 2019/20 will be named the '1Albert League'

Albert done it, but only just! F4C wisely placed the armband on Sergio Aguero, but his transfer punt on Pogba failed miserably. Al had to sweat it out until the final moments of the season, when Salomon Rondon popped up with a goal in the last minute at Craven Cottage to ensure Stoke did have something to cheer this May. The ten points from Redmond helped and all!!!

The Real Slim Shady League
Shevchenko 48 - 51 Ajcairns
The lower division in 2019/20 will be named the 'AJCairns League'

Unlikely finalists they might have been, but Shev and AJ produced a close contest on the last day. Both brought in Mane, and while AJ rightfully favoured Ageuro over Salah for captaincy, it was arguably Shev's reliance on a unfocused Spurs side that saw the Indonesian come up short when it mattered.

Sorry I missed this earlier. Just noticed it now. Sterling no use to me. I largely selected him at the wrong times this season. Well played sir.
