50 Euros Last Man Standing

Ros1234

Resisted the temptation to swap back hazard to Salah, hoping mane will do the biz, not that hopeful of wolves keeping a clean sheet. Mitro n Wilson will hopefully justify there inclusions. Best to luck to all

McBain, that’s some amount of transfers you’ve made this month. Looks like you’re toast. Kathleen doing her best to get back in the race

Looks like I am not safe after all. Not having Salah or Mané was a big mistake. Should have sold Kane to get one of them.

KathleenGrant

Auba and Townend start so I have the best chance I can have. Good luck to my opponents. I've done a Houdini twice. I can't keep doing it.

McBain11

I think, after very quick calculations, that myself and AnLed (begbysback) maybe tied at the bottom going into the last game after monthly deduction and autosubs etc are taken into account.

AnLed has Mendy and Kane to play. I have Mendy and De Bruyne. So a straight shootout basically between Kane and De Bruyne to see who survives. I haven't checked who is currently ahead in the tie breaker scenario. Correct me if I'm wrong on any or all of that :-)

@Green+Red, yep I dropped the axe on most of my squad last week, some rage induced! Tbh, I'd more or less given up any hope in this competition when I did that, so I'd be delighted if the above is correct and I have a shot of staying in.

Best of luck tonight Begbysback. I will go through all the calculations property before the match ko, so we roughly know where we stand.

McBain11

The above looks to be correct. If I have made any errors, no panic, as I'll do a full audit of everyones monthly scores tomorrow.

So it looks a straight shootout between Kane and De Bruyne. The first tie breaker is goals scored in the entire month, and it looks that AnLed hold an 8-7 lead over my lot there. Any of that wrong, feel free to correct me :-)

Green&Red

@McBain - you’d a fair few points hit a couple of weeks back too, it’s unbelievable you’re still in contention

Hard to call which will go better tonite. I’d probably go for Kane if I had the choice now

City favs for the game, but obviously Kane is Kane. I have a sneaky feeling for Spurs tonight myself, not based anyway at all on form but more a gut feeling! Ya, I've taken a lot of hits, I don't mind taking 4/8 point hits at times but it would be rare I'd do a 20 pointer! I'm hoping my team will settle down a bit now, and I won't have to rip it apart again for a good while!

Is this correct?

Looks like the current week deductions have been done so I make it 129 to 128 in your favour

I had it at 128 apiece. But if De Bruyne stays on the bench I'd get 1 point off Wan Bissaka.

begbysback

Think your right - I was subbing in wan b

McBain11

Looks like I'm a goner after that whopper of a h2h! Kane 2-1 De Bruyne...

Will confirm for certain tomorrow as it's all a bit messy with the auto aubs and deductions to do from the start of the month.

Well played Begby, a tip of the cap to you sir :-)

McBain11

Okey doke lads. Count done. I'm a goner Joy of it, eh! Bit of a killer to go out by a point but well deserved for Begby to survive over myself in the end.

Just the 8 runners left now. Best of luck to all for the remainder of the season.

Park The Bus (Shane732) = 176

Tis all good. I'll be on this forum and updating the table. So I'll always be around :-)

Can concentrate on the other million leagues I'm floundering in now.

McBain11

2 more gameweeks left in November, before a bumper FPL December.

Just to note, I'm going to leave my team (Calmwood) on the FPL League table, as it's just easier for me to follow. So don't be fooled by my side being last in the monthly standings folks :-)

McBain11

Last weekend, before 1 more faces the chop!! Will hopefully get a chance to put up the scores including hits before the GW ko.

McBain11

The Craggy Islanders (AdPro) = 202

AnLed (begbysback) 190 - 8 = 182

Kathleen's Heroes (Kathleen Grant) = 171

Dunks of Hazard (Green&Red) = 168

Craggy Islands Elite (tubbercowboy) = 157

Rock Rovers (Ros1234) = 148

On me head son (Klopparama) = 145

Park The Bus (Shane732) 134 - 4 = 130


That looks like the state of play going into the final weekend of the month. I calculated GW11 hits as the start of November, if any of the above is incorrect just say the word. I'll do a full audit of months scores on Monday/Tuesday as we drop down to 7 players then.

Best of luck to all.

McBain11

It looks like Shane732 side Park the Bus are the latest casualty in the last man standing. Unlucky Shane.

I will do a full audit of last months scores tomorrow to verify.

McBain11

November tallies below. Shane732 confirmed as the next to go unfortunately. Just 7 runners left now, so we are getting into the serious business of it. Best of luck to all in your December/Christmas FPL endeavors :-)

The Craggy Islanders (AdPro) = 263

Dunks of Hazard (Green&Red) = 232

AnLed (begbysback) 239 - 8 = 231

Back on the bottom. Strangely familiar territory.

You’re also fourth in the table this month, not last

And I’m all over the shop.

On a -12 already and making stupid mistake after stupid mistake each week.

Not been on it this season at all.

Chasing my tail.

Have been trying to play a different tactic this season by sitting on my hands but it’s just not working.

So I’ve kind of abandoned it and am now taking hits but I fear it’s too late.

Getting players in 2 weeks after I wanted them but wouldn’t take the hits. Missing out in the points. Then they don’t fire when I get them in.

Also dumb drunken or hungover transfers which makes a joke of any patience I was showing.

Not sure if that answers your question.

But I’m definitely going back to my aggressive gameplay.

Went aggressive for the first time this season.

Out - Success, Arnoutavic amd Salah

In - Camarasa, Lacazette and Kane

All for a -8

Season is unraveling at a serious rate

McBain11

Best of luck to all over the next few gameweeks. 1 more for the chop by New Years!!

Happy Christmas to all :-)

Green&Red

Very close this month, 27pts top to bottom

begbysback

Took a -4 this gameweek, might regret it given that its very tight, best of luck tomorrow everyone

Same. And bought someone who may not play so I will be v nervous tomorrow.

McBain11

Final weekend before the cull begins!!!

Looking at the table, I think nobody has hits to be deducted from their monthly tallies (I will audit the scores and double check all scores next week). So the monthly standings are the up to date standing with AnLed 12 points behind On me head son (that Mike Bassett reference?), and there's a 25 points gap between last and 3rd last. All to play for and it looks like a good week for the bottom 2 could potentially drag every other team into a scrap for survival.

Best of luck to all :-)

Is Anled not already gone from a previous month? Or am I confusing that with someone else?

Park the Bus went last month, AnLed was well up the November standings. Unless there's been a feck up of almighty proportions by myself 😂

Not a mike basset reference. Never seen that movie.

Nah.

He’s used bench boost this week.

Yea used bench out of desperation this week, was challenging coming into today but pep screwed me, and joe hart dropped when Burnley keep a cleanie - then an early pog goal seems to have put in the final nail - my luck has run out!!

begbysback

I liked it better when murhino was manager

begbysback

looks like im done - gg everybody and best of luck

thanks McBain for organising, the format is really enjoyable and will look forward to playing again next season

McBain11

I'll do a full audit of the scores tomorrow just to make sure all is in order.

McBain11

Final standings below for December. Basically reads as the FPL monthly table does, as no hits came into account this month.

Hard luck to Begbysback (AnLed), you gave it a good run. Just 6 runners left in the field now and the actions starts again tomorrow. Best of luck to all.


Rock Rovers (Ros1234) = 386

Kathleen's Heroes (Kathleen Grant) = 374

Dunks of Hazard (Green&Red) = 366

The Craggy Islanders (AdPro) = 364

Craggy Islands Elite (tubbercowboy) = 360

On me head son (Klopparama) = 347

AnLed (begbysback) = 319


***Just as an aside. In the original FPL rules going back to the summertime, they had the December monthly scores to start in GW14. That changed when a game was moved to the Friday night for TV reasons. So GW 14 became part of November, with December starting in GW15 then. Nothing major, but as I'm going off the FPL site filters for the scores, I just wanted to keep this clear for any fixture changes like this in future.***

KathleenGrant

Hard luck begbysback. Going to get even harder from here on in. It's a great competition McBain. I'll be looking forward to this next year.

It's close this week boys.
