7th Annual SuperGrover's £60 FPL Money League

[SuperGrover]

I am again running the SuperGrover cash FPL league now entering its 7th season. As usual, I am capping the entry. Previous years the entry was 25 but this season due to an added cup competition the entry list will be 26. Please understand this is non-negotiable so please do not try and convince me should the league be filled; I promise I will not budge!

I should note that as usual I give last season’s participants a chance to renew prior to opening it up to others. The majority have chosen to do so and as such there is only 7 spots unaccounted for. If you are interested you will need to act quickly.

The league rules are as follows:

Format will be traditional FPL (no H2H).

All FISO members are welcome to join, but the league maximum size will not change no matter the level of interest.

Entrance is given on a first come, first served basis. The receipt of entry fee will determine the precedence in which people are admitted to the league.

Entry fee is £60. All money goes into the prize pool and will be fully redistributed to league members. I no longer accept non-GBP currencies due to complexities with PayPal.

I will be participating in the league and be paying entry fee as well. I will be taking no administration fee.

All transactions will be executed through PayPal. All PayPal charges for submitting entrance fees will be the responsibility of the individual league member. I will in no way be responsible for charges incurred.

User information and league code will be distributed via direct, private messaging or email. I will exchange my personal name, location, and PayPal payme link to interested parties. Once I receive the same from an interested party AND have received their entry fee I will send the code out.

As noted, this year we will have a cup competition in addition to the season long table. The cup rules are as follows:

- Matchups will be determined by random draw
- All legs will be two GWs and include only total points scored. Hits will not be counted.
- Tie breakers will be 1) most points scored in the second game 2) most points on bench 3) most goals scored by all starters 4) most bonus points scored by all starters 5) coin flip
- In first round, the 3 highest points scored by losing teams will advance to round of 16. Same tie breaker rules apply.
- Starting in 2nd round only winners advance. Will take a total of ten GWs to complete.
- Will define starting GW once schedule is confirmed. Will definitely be after holiday break so GW 20 or greater.

Please note that the league is not limited to FISO members. Prizes will be as follows:

1st - £602.50 (£2.50 extra is from last year's 5th place winner Smurf thanks lad!
2nd - £300
3rd - £175
4th - £100
5th - £70

Cup 1st - £175
Cup 2nd - £100
Cup 3rd - £40 (played by two semifinal losers)

Warning - before joining this mini-league please read the following post from FISO admin: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=27293.

From the thread:

4. If you decide to join a mini-league or side-game not Chaired by Admin then you do so at your own risk. Admin does not necessarily know who the Chairman is in real life and may not be able to help you should he/she decide not to distribute the prize he/she has won or has offered themselves. A mini-league or game set up using the FISO forums has nothing to do with FISO Ltd or the forum administrator.

5. If you want to join a non-official mini-league (i.e. one not chaired by me) then you should try and put in place some form of written agreement between the participants and the chairman (using real life names) with regard to the distribution of any prize won. This could be based upon a standard syndicate type agreements - showing the membership and how winnings are paid out. These should be signed but at least do an exchange of private messages.

6. If you join a mini-league not Chaired by Admin or a game run by a forum member and you do not receive the share of winnings you were expecting then do not blame me or FISO Ltd. You were warned.

If you are interested please PM me and I will send you payment details. The league usually generates solid interest and fills up quickly. Please don't delay if you want to join.

Good luck!

As a note to all onlookers we have 1 spot remaining.

[Binod]

is there any spot available still??

[SuperGrover]

All spots have been filled for the season. Apologies to anyone who has shown interest but was unable to join. I will almost certainly be running a league again next season so please check back next year!

[SuperGrover]

The season is over and the competition was fierce. The top spot ended in a TIE for the first time ever. As per tie breaking rules, the two winners will share the total prizes for 1st and 2nd together so that each takes home £451.25. The top 5 ended as follows:

Team & Manager Total Points
I Know Nothing Siddharth Mohindroo 2533
All That Ales You Corey Baker 2533
FP-Heaven CharIes 2493
The Craic!!! Lee Pass 2490
Real Satoshi Mark Daysh 2488

As usual finishing in the top 10k is just enough to get you into the money. In addition, this season we added a cup competition with prizes awarded for 1st, 2nd and 3rd places. The Cup ended as follows:

Cup Final: Wiseowl65 David Rhodes wins over stpauler Andy C 166-165
3rd Place Match: All That Ales You Corey Baker wins over Sir Patrick Bamford Clarke Hutchison 147-135

Congrats to all winners and looking forward to the 8th version of the comp to start again next Summer.

Cheers!
