Congrats Rob! Great effort.

I stayed 4th. A lack of transfers and missing Patrick Brown kiiled my team.

Well done Rob. The captaincy didn’t cost you in the end. I guess most near the top went for Livingstone. Fortunately that must also have happened for me in the 25 elite as managed to sneak the win by 18 pts. Really surprised as thought some would go Ali and it seemed a 50/50 call with the greater likelihood that lancs would make the final the deciding factor. Anyway congrats again for your victory.

Thanks, both, but I think the congrats are premature. As far as I can tell, the leaderboard has only been updated with the scores from the semis and (still!) not yet the final. If that is the case, I’m 99% sure that 1 or 2 people will overtake me. And a pretty poor show from the Telegraph too. :-(

Yes you are right. Just checked my weekly score breakdown and it looks like the final has not been added. Unbelievable.

That's incredibly poor. I don't understand why anyone would do that. At least stick a big label on it.

I'm not catching you, I only had Ali(c), Salt, Evans, and Archer in the final. But I think you might be right about at least 1 of the other 2.

I think you are catching me! I only had Ali, Brown, Evans. Your extra Ali captain points (143) plus 23 from Salt and 25 from Archer, minus my 7 from Brown takes you ahead of the 162 differential going into the final.
The guy in 2nd place (Percik -name sounds familiar!) almost certainly wins it. So I reckon you’re 2nd or 3rd and I’m 3rd or 4th.

If this turns out to be the case it is an incredibly poor show...

It never occurred to me that finals day scores would be updated in two stages..

I really feel for anyone messed about by this....

Apologies, I got confused between your teams and thought you had salt and Archer in the leading one.

what?! So the scores shown for the last 24 hours weren’t the semi-finals but some screwed-up random numbers?!
I still don’t fully trust the scores that are up there now. Although my total does seem to be correct. So maybe I have actually won the thing!
Before I get carried away, MCHamer - can you confirm whether your score is right too - ie. 799 points from the semis & final combined? Apart from Ali (c), Evans, Archer, Salt, who else was in your team that scored in the semis?
Jeez - the Telegraph do make it difficult sometimes...!!

Ha! Thanks! If it’s true, I’m amazed no-one caught me yesterday. I guess those with Ali captained were running even thinner on transfers than me and didn’t have many of the other big scorers - Wright, Brown, Archer, et al.

Matthew/ MCHamer - well played on your 3rd and sorry for giving you false hopes earlier. Seems like those scores that were posted previously were totally bogus. I’ve just checked back and, indeed, the numbers that were up there for me didn’t represent what my score should have been after the semis. So I guess Percik’s and everyone else’s numbers were equally messed up.

If it wasn’t a Sunday night, I’d be cracking open the champagne! :)

Yes . Well done Rob - a nervous last 24 hours for you I suspect. I’ve been checking for updates every few minutes but hopefully now all resolved. Managed to win the 25 elite and see your team moved up to 2nd in that as well as the overall title.
Hope they pay out quicker than they do for the weeklies. Won a weekly earlier in the year. Contacted them 4 times through the contact us link on the site but to no avail. According to terms and conditions payments made within a month but only eventually sorted payment when I contacted through Facebook messenger after 8 weeks of getting nowhere through the normal contact link. Love all the telegraph fantasy games but so many cock ups in both cricket and football and such poor communication. Still congrats again and let’s hope it keeps going next year

Congrats, Jezza/ Chris! £660 (or whatever it works out as) is not to be sniffed at.
Yes, scraped 2nd in the £25 league and also won the £10 league with the same team that (apparently, although I’m still taking it in) won the whole thing.

Well congrats again Rob!

I didn't go into finals day with much hope having no transfers left. So I'm very happy with 3rd.

Yeah I got 799 with Ali(c), salt, Evans, a davies, archer, and Gregory. God knows if that's right or not.

Well done Rob, Jezza3 and MCHamer on your successes.
Lets hope the comp is back again next season so we can all try again!

Cheers, all. Not that it’s really about the dosh, but reckon I’ve recouped around £1930 in total, through the main comp and various leagues. Should stop the missus nagging about all that ‘wasted time’ in front of the computer, analysing fixtures etc! :-)

I also thought I’d check back a bit of history. Seems like FISO-ers have pretty much cleaned up in recent years:
2017: 1st Jezza3, 2nd Nabby
2016: 1st El Tel, 2nd Banana
2015: 1st Mr Wheelbarrow, 2nd O2BBurco
...and it was 2013 that MetMatt won it and I came 2nd (thanks to ‘Willey going big’ ;-) on finals day).

Roll on next year! World Cup and Ashes. And hopefully domestic TFC squeezed in somehow too.

Don't forget the inaugural season, 2008 - the only thing I ever won!

Indeed. I’m proud to join the elite club. There ought to be an equivalent of the Lord’s honours board somewhere! :-)

Very well done Rob, congratulations! Tough to those that came so close, but great efforts from you all.

And well done Worcestershire and captain Mo. I'm very pleased for them as there is much to admire about their policy of developing and trusting young home grown players.
