I will be running the leagues again this season with the usual 2.5% admin charge on winnings. Important notes in bold!

I am on holiday for the 1st 3 weeks of August. If you can send your buy ins before then you will get into the league much quicker. After that date there may be times I only check every few days.

If you haven't played before, the basic premise is that you select a squad of Premiership players and get points for their performance. I'll be running the leagues at http://fantasy.premierleague.com/. The rules can be found here: https://fantasy.premierleague.com/help/

Last season's thread here:http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/15...-17-a-1620014/

This year I will again not hold the money on Stars, please don't ask. As my bank accounts and Paypal are in Pounds Sterling so will the buy ins be. Post Brexit it’s a great time for you foreigners to be buying our worthless currency!

For smaller buy ins in other currencies it doesn’t matter if you use Paypal or Transfer Wise since the rates are very similar. (expect it to cost about $2 to send). If you are entering the high roller leagues then it should be MUCH cheaper to send with transferwise if your PP or bank isn’t in Sterling.

Buy ins

I'm going to run the following leagues

£35 classic
£150 classic
£400 classic

£75 head to head
£35 head to head

£20 last man standing – In the LMS the lowest scoring player(s) for that week (and that week only) are eliminated. If we had 40 players then it would be 1 out each week and 3 left in for the final (with 2 paid) If there are more then 2 go out for x number of weeks at the start. I will post a weekly update in the thread showing who is knocked out. For week 1 only the lowest scorer in the league will be removed however many runners there are. If a tie then both go out. I set this rule now as I won't be able to update the LMS until the start of week 2.

This year anyone is welcome to play, just send away and invite your mates!

Payment Info

If you want to play one of the leagues then PM me for Paypal address or bank details. They are the same as last time so you can go ahead and send if you know them already. Deadline to enter is Thursday August 10th as there is a game on the Friday this time (the earlier you do it the easier it is for me!). If you leave it until the last minute you will most likely get shut out since I have to receive the payment and get you the league code.

Note that if your team does not show up as waiting to join by the time the first games kick off then you will be refunded and deleted from the league once you join. This is to stop someone regging 10 teams week 1 and only joining the league with the highest scoring one. There is a lot of money involved and this rule will be strictly enforced, once you are deleted the site doesn't let you rejoin the league so don't bother complaining.

I held 10-20k+ for this league the last 3 years and paid out promptly, have also escrowed MSNL March Madness and 12x/LMS many times before and have a flawless rep so no worries on the money going anywhere.

After you have sent please post the following in the thread:

1) What leagues you are joining
2) Your team name on the FPL site. If you do not do this then you won’t get a PM if you win a MOTM prize since I won’t know who you are!

Payouts

Here are the payouts from last year https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...x64/edit#gid=0

This year will be similar, I will post all prizes in the thread once I am back from holiday around 19-20 August.

If you have any questions then go ahead and ask, hope to see as many if not more in again this time round!

I'll be in for all the big ones again, I can't resist the action.

Speaking of which. Anybody interested or know anybody interested in a big sidebet? Looking for anything between £200 - £10 000. In this ballpark and obviously they have to be reputable. Willing to discuss different variations of how it works etc...

Very happy to do a few smaller couple of hundred £ (£200-£300 etc..) ones if that's the most you're willing to gamble on an FPL season, the competitiveness factor is just as fun too!

Yes, myself & bigo1 are looking to run a high stakes buy in. We've got a Whatsapp group of about 10 others who are keen too.

Think you need 5 posts minimum or something like that.

Just have a look around the place and post any old gibberish, american's wont know the difference

haha no worries

You can also post a trash email address and I can mail you if needed

THEGOATIAN - looks like you did pretty well last year, what score did you get? Just want to check I'm not completely outmatched before signing up!

If you have to ask then you're probably outmatched. But ya know, gamble gamble!
