I played that final against you but can't remember if the fixtures went well all the way or not but if you say they did.... I believe you, GW36 will soon be upon us.

Wahala do dey too much for this season FA Cup sef.

tshabalala:
There's no special settings anywhere, I'm very sure I had opponents assigned to my team for the whole 38 GW last season that I won the Carling Cup.

You no fit understand but anywhere FPL is concerned, i no fit leave his neck

TheStrongest:
😂😂😂… weytin Emaprince do you sef?

The poll is already up.

Tomorrow we will know how to proceed, any decision sef is okay by me as long as Emaprince and iamoyindamola will be here for me to pick on next season

TheStrongest:
I totally understand you.. But this season’s setup is gonna make that work again.. That’s why I suggested a poll. We all vote for how we want to move forward this season. We’ve all built our strategy around the top 8, but it’s time to pivot.

He actually has a point.

If you have been following the thread discussions, my entire strategy is set up to peak around GW36-38 which means I have been taking a lot of trade-offs (e.g, not attacking the Nairaland League top spot as much as I would have done absent the thought of being competitive in the anticipated playoffs at the end of the season).

TheStrongest:
Why not play to be first? Does this make sense that you finished top of the league and lose the trophy to number 8 position? This game is not all about strategy, luck also plays its part..

But the person who created this season FA Cup already admitted to an oversight in adding the playoffs option that is why the fixtures run till GW38.

Fixtures always turn up blank from GW36 upwards for H2H Leagues with playoffs activated so that option is not apparently available for this season FA Cup.

I just want to know the general consensus tomorrow so I can know whether to adjust strategy or stick to current end of the season plan.

tshabalala:
In the absence of any human error or special settings, all H2H leagues, regardless of whether playoffs are enabled or not, have fixtures scheduled until the final Gameweek (GW38). After qualification (GW35), draws are made and the top eight teams proceed to the quarter-finals.

The above was based on my observation in the Nairaland Carling Cup last season.

What do you know that we don't?

Kindly tell us now.

Before I change strategy and find myself in the playoffs chip less and vulnerable for my enemies to mock me.

tshabalala:
Stop stressing yourselves because there will be playoffs since it h2h league.

I'm 100% confident about it.

Two votes.

Playoffs should be included next year but we conclude this season as it is.

At least we all started with 0pts, so whoever is top by GW38 is a worthy winner....

More worthy than 8th winning the whole thing via playoffs in my own opinion sef

TheStrongest:
It doesn't make much sense tho..
Let's finish the league as is, then next season we do the playoffs or vote to keep the playoffs.

But then, I'm only one vote. You can create a poll and let majority decide what we should do this season.

Iamoyindamola I don't think creating a new mini playoff league is a good idea.


Let the season run its natural course, who stands number one at GW38 should be declared the winner.

For posterity sake... We shouldn't have a different winner in the GW38 FA Cup and the playoffs.


Next season we can revert back to default playoffs settings.
Just a suggestion ooo.

No malice intended.

I thought na my new opp (thou who shall not be named) be the creator of this season FA Cup.


Nevertheless I will manage to win the FA Cup like that, just 9pts off top spot.

Time to deploy nuclear chips

sod09:
Have seen where the mistake is from, I was supposed to pick knockout and 3.
I will create a mini league in MD6 and share with the top 8
Apologies to everyone for the inconvenience


Calibrator please let's be guided na who be mf

Unfortunately, it cannot.

raumdeuter:
Iaomoyindamola, Is it true that we no get playoffs? Can it till be modified

Emaprince, hope you can see there is no playoffs.

It is a race to the end.

Try to keep up.

Things are about to get a whole lot interesting

Na true ooo.
This season is as a classic H2H without playoffs.
Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
My end of season strategy needs revamp laddis

The mf admin didn't set it up as playoffs to decide the winner as usual.

@iamoyindamola, what kind of mistake is that?
You set the Bongo FA Cup with playoffs and left the Nairaland FA Cup as a race to finish without playoffs.

Bourne007:
Maybe rules don change but doesn't look like there will be play offs ọ. Usually from GW 36, it's blank with no opponents. This time, it's different 😬 🤔

If banking on play offs, better change strategy lol 😜

Till then, hater, till then

Emaprince:
You get luck say his Thiago was missing sitters.

By now, your loss would have been confirmed. But you can still lose. Its 50/50

You sure say you go school at all?

Emaprince:
You know you can still lose this GW...cos your opp, even with his 4pts hit, have restored parity in pts

Gandoki can keep Emaprince in his pocket, I don hand off that mid table guy matter.

I have found me a new target.
Na me and this una Admin till the end of the season

By the end of GW27, you will be outside the playoffs and it will be courtesy of my doings.

Mark my words! 🫵🫵

iamoyindamola:
Yenyenyen
After it took you almost a year to enter play offs we won't hear word again

. Make Gyokeres chop bench this GW and after I wipe the floor with this man next GW, then we will all learn simple arithmetic together.

iamoyindamola:
If I lose 2 gw I will still be in the playoffs position
Bro I am 11 points off 8th position na

Surviving is winning, any win na win


The only person who can chat with me where points are concerned this season is Ibime.

I can dash most of you 100pts and still be comfortably ahead of you in overall ranking.

E don tey wey I get this kind of H2H GW fixture luck on my off-day.

If I had faced any other team this GW, I would have lost before the final whistle of yesterday's matches was blown

Where were you in our most recent meeting?

iamoyindamola:
All this shalaye ko necessary, when it matter most where were you?
What happened in the first leg

Like you are supposed to pick a different team for each H2H you are in?

Does your checking negate the fact that each team you present every GW is the best you can come up with?

iamoyindamola:
Is this fa cup?
Jokes on you can't even remember last time I checked any h2h apart from fa cup

Like I did this last GW

iamoyindamola:
Like you did in the first leg right

The way I will pummel iamoyindamola to submission in GW27, just make sure you keep winning, you might have an outsider shot at taking his spot.

Emaprince:
I have a sinking ship to save first.

E get one paper tiger wey dey top table before when the iron tigers were taking things with laxity but he don lose form, I am waiting for Haaland to consign him to another defeat this week and I play him next GW, I will make it my sacred duty to personally send him out of the playoffs spots.


GW30-35 go be like cinema

Emaprince, you no go like apply for this vacant managerial job?

You sef don try

Emaprince:
This GW is the most peaceful for me.

I'm following it with a RELAXED MIND.

Amen to that

Ibime:
That stubborn guy wey dey top league done fvk up. I go catch am this week

Some of us here get mind or should I say una no get respect at all.

You want to play one of the most in-form managers (and incoming winner of the FA Cup) and you still decided to come into the fixture with a -4?

You better do else I will be forced to take matters into my own hands

Won't augur well if one unknown gunman nick the league from we FA CUPers

Ibime:
I go catch am. Only 11 points separate us

PrinceEma:
You go explain tire. My fate is in my own hands. Wait let me get my winning streak fully on. Then we will be back to this exchange

Sure, now everyone has something to play for.
Weekly Update is back!


Side note:

Ibime, we go fit catch this League topper so?
That brother is running on steroids

iamoyindamola:
Yipee!!! The tables are back
I hope you keep up the energy

You understand statistics and probability at all?

There are at least six positions between you and the last playoff spot and 12pts difference to boot with just 30pts to play for.


Even if you win your next 5, you will need at least three of those below you to also win their next five and at least four of those above you to lose at least four out of their next six matches for you to even be in contention for the 8th position.

You don dey understand now abi

PrinceEma:
You can lose 5 in a row.

If I did it, you can do it more.
