Oh This Thread!

O ye my people!

This life!

timbros:


I meet brutallion?

Don't worry you can still win. I will not put my vexation this season on you.

To make it easier for you, I will tell you my plans:

I will make 2 changes at the cost of -4pts, that will give me 14 players on papers playing double, which will make me me use my bench boost.

Now plan your team well to beat me.

Ibime:


I thought they will do 1st vs 8th, 2nd vs 7th and so on

Make I go look your team

Since last season it was changed to 1st Vs 5th, 2nd Vs 6th, 3rd Vs 7th and 4th Vs 8th

Not a good season for me, especially as The Defending Champion... 1st time I will be finishing out of Nairaland top 25 since many years I have been playing this

But there was very little I could do, I was in the middle of many long distance journeys with little time for research and long-time planning...

To make it worse, there were too many uncertainties this season... at a time we were not even sure of which teams will be playing or which teams had requested for postponement of their fixture due to covid. All these made it difficult for a player that is not constantly checking for updates like me...

Well, I already accepted my fate long time ago. Congrats to Ibime in advance (that is if village people no visit your team o )

@ Ibime

I hope being a 2 time main league champion and making this season FA Cup - top 8 still qualifies me for FA Cup next season abi?

No ask me for my scores in main league this season o ....

I am one of the silent followers of this thread.

I am very much impressed and inspired to do similar and more.

Good Job! And Well done!

raumdeuter:
The year is running to an end. In all this has been a good year for me

With its own challenges. Health, financial, personal, At the end it turned out to be a great year actually one of the best ones ever. I have had cause to be thankful and looking forward to a better 2022

I also reached a landmark age some months back

In the spirit of the season, I will be doing giveaway to 10 users who are active on the sports(European football) section. The first 10 users to send an email to wraumdeuter@gmail.com will get a small amount from me between now and end of the year

When sending the email, include your name, bank details, moniker and club you support. Your NL account must be older than 3months and actively posting (This is to prevent people creating sock accounts or using multiple backup accounts)

If you feel comfortable with recharge card or phone data load instead of Bank account(for privacy and security reasons) I no wan hear say na ramdeuter wey you give account number make your money miss, you can put your phone number

For fun factor, you must wish Bayern Munich wins the CL for the next 3 seasons while placing a powerful curse on your team to remain trophyless IN CAPITAL LETTERS. If you want your recharge quicker increase the intensity and hotness of your curse on your club and coach
Best response gets priority

I have multiple babalawos on standby courtesy of ebukacute and segedinho to sanction this

Also to celebrate Chelsea's dropped point.

Note Its only for those based in Nigeria o. Cos na very small amount only for 3 bottles of beer, 1 Origin and 1 pack of Benson. Change fit remain for short time if you enter better rugged lungu

This actually got me laughing out really hard! Good one!

The fact that we are angry with our manager, board or some players no mean say we wan sell our club for 3 bottles of beer, Origin, a pack of Benson and a low budget olosho, come dey support one yeye Hitler Club. Abeg no gain jare.

How about I wire you $1000 and you curse that your Hitler Club not to achieve any meaningful thing in the next 5 years. Go to Church during the cross-over night prayers, pray fervently for Arsenal to dominate Europe in the next 3 years (With Video Evidence).... DEAL?

The Love of my life before

My runaway girlfriend.

If you no run away, by now we for don dey married with 3 children.

raumdeuter:
I lost to Brutallion sha

Trent and Raphinha gave me the turnaround win, But I still consider it a bad week for me.

I made a wrong transfer call, sold Cancelo for Rudiger, thinking Chelsea will get clean sheet playing against Burnley at home and Man U will at least score a goal against City even if they will lose at home. But I was wrong... To cap it all, I had White sitting on the bench with 8 points. If I had not touch my team after last Gameweek, I would have been better.

Thanks to Rudiger! He is coming from the bench to save my disastrous gameweek with an amazing 14points.

Well congrats to Centurion Akam in advance, I will need minimum of 2 hits (-8 ) to correct the error of last week which might lead to my 1st FA Cup lost....

Nevertheless, we move!

I forgot the deadline for today

And I didn't complete my wildcard selection ..... chai

sorry iykmora I just checked the final scores now.

losing by 1 point can be painful... especially on a week you are among the top scorers... I know.

MercylessMercy:


Yes oh

You ended my season last year in the play off and have started again

No vex.

I go let you win the next one

Are you Lord Ragnar FC?


@Ibime
Is it possible to have a list marching NL monikers to the teams in H2H?

MercylessMercy:


Boss retire now

lol

Soon...

Ibime:
UPDATE:

Codes for FA Cup and Carling Cup will be sent on Sunday 12th July

This is to ensure that everyone has a fair chance of getting code according to their past performance, not just those who asked for code early

It would be nice if we can have a list matching the NL Moniker to each team going for H2H posted here at the start of the competition so we know who is who.

Ibime:
UPDATE:

To gain entry to FA Cup or Carling Cup, please drop your email, your team name from last season and your final main league position

GloryIsaac:


Same way I lost to Raumdeuter in the quarters by a point.

Was so painful knowing I had taking a -4 hit that didn’t pay off

Congratulations to you on winning it. I look forward to next season.

I feel you.

Thanks.

timbros:
Congratulations to OAM4J

Congratulations to Benjamin Dappa..

Thanks

pamcode:
oh okay. Congrats anyway.


Who is Green beret? Man seems to be consistent in that top 10 for two or more seasons

Thanks.

Scientist007:
Carling Cup final result

Whao....so close, just 1 point diff. Such loss are more painful..

Congrats to both of you.

pamcode:
Congrats. Was it a consecutive win or was it Green beret that won last season.

No. I first won it in 2017/2018 season. This 2020/2021 is my 2nd. I don't think any other person has won the main league twice.

https://www.nairaland.com/3921349/nairaland-fantasy-premier-league-2017/69#67562100

I have always been in the top 25. Last season I was top 10.

Also, I have always made top 8 in FA but never made it past semi finals.

raumdeuter:
What is Benjamin moniker here

I wish to know too... I want to congratulate him also.

Congratulations to you also Dayo! You tried and gave it a good fight!

@Ibime we need to know the monikers of at least those who play the H2H here.... and if possible make being an active Nlder among the conditions....

iykmora:
congrats bro...

Thanks Bro!

I guess it's confirmed now that I won the main league (for the 2nd time now.... )

My target has always been to make top 10 and in worse case scenario make at least top 50 on NL Premier league.

And I think I have sustained that overtime.

I always believed anyone in top 50 can win it... this fantasy game is 50% of skillful strategic plan and 50% of luck.

Congratulations to everyone..... and thanks to you all that sustain the thread with enough banters; adding to the fun of it all

Let's do it again next season!

Ibime:


All the above loosely applies anyway.

The only reason why top 8 in FA Cup or top 25 in league will miss out on FA Cup is if they are late.

Another factor that counts is contribution to banter, so the likes of Timbros, SodO9 and Raumdeuter will always have spot as they contribute to the community and banter throughout the season. Although I'm considering waffing SodO9 if he doesn't make top100 in the league

Very Good!

Then, let us concretely apply them so everyone knows what to expect.

And lets wait at least 2 weeks before the 1st gameweek or set a concrete deadline before substituting those who won by right with others. I almost lost out this season because I didn't know when the registration started. And some of the regular veterans lost out too....

Ibime:


All former league Champions are allowed into FA Cup.

Not to mention a former league Champion and 4 time FA Cup winner plus league moderator.

I think it's about time we have standard rules applicable every season. If need be, we can debate this before the start of next season.

IMO, to increase encouragement and quality, I think anyone who made top 8 in FA should automatically qualify for next season, also the 2 finalists in Carling cup should be promoted to FA, then we can add some top 25 from the main league who are active Nairalanders. The remaining spots can now be shared and given to NL FPL Veterans on the basis of 1st to apply.

Similar applies to who qualifies for Carling cup... Should be top 8 previous season and among top 50 main league..

And if possible we should be able to match the NL monikers with all players in FA and Carling at the start of the season.

Just my humble suggestions.

MercylessMercy:


Playing Professor Killer

Team Emerald FC

It is has good as not qualifying, I wanted to avoid him at all cost.

lol

As you can see from the results, I was even the easiest opponent for you.

I rarely go beyond quarter finals in FA because most of the qualifiers reserve their chips for the knockout.

Your problem was that you didn't plan for Blank GW36 while planning for Double GW 35, so you ended up having 6 or 7 players with blank for BGW36. For example you made 3 changes in DGW35 which included Castagne who has no fixture in BGW36 and tougher fixtures afterward, while I got rid of him and others for those who had fixtures in GW36.

Better luck next time.

iamoyindamola:

Nililist is always looking uninterested until he sneak in to playoffs
What out for him and ibime, especially ibime.
#otoge

There is nothing I can do against Nihilist defeating me in the next GW

I cannot deploy my 2nd Wildcard for a blank week...

Anyone having a free hit chip available and still loses to a team without one in the next GW should be a novice.

I am sure Nihilist will be singing now..."it is for such a week like this I reserved my free hit chip "

I cannot complain, my free hit chip helped me to get to where I am now after deploying it earlier in the season.

As they say.... we move!

iamoyindamola:

Don't mind him, reality of missing out on playoffs is hunting him

lol ... if he had won, he would have been comfortably sited in the top 8 and I'll be struggling to get back in top 8...

And I am meeting Nihilst next; who I suspect will use his available free hit chip to get a full team against my incomplete team in BGW29.

Ibime:
Talk about lucky or unlucky draws. I had the 3rd highest points total in FA Cup but happened to be playing OAM4J who had the highest points total.

Meanwhile wack teams like Juices FC got an average score but was playing the team with the 2nd lowest score. This is the story of the season.

Sorry o.

I am pleasantly surprised to see I still got the highest score in the FA league when I though I was having a terribly bad week. I stopped checking my scores after Arsenal Vs Spurs match when my 2 new recruits (Son & Bale) only gave me a point each and Kane blanked (Though I was happy Arsenal won )

Everyone who got above 50 won, except you. Even Lala won Mukina with 38 points

Pele ...

theoneJabulani:
If u still haven't got llkay Gundogan, am sorry for u

Really really bad if you no get him and still bad if you no captain him.... I mean...he is not expensive and its a DGW

Except one is gambling between him Sterling, If I have KDB and he is fit, I would have found it difficult leaving him and giving Ikay the armband too...

Ibime:


No, na Tarkowski I get

I was going to buy Tarkowski last night... Then I thought I might need the price diff between him and Lowton for my next buy, so I went for Lowton....

See how lucky I am

Ibime:


I would have 7 more points than I do now mostly thanks to Salah captaincy

That means I've been labouring in vain since Gameweek 1

lol...sorry.


I gained 85 points to my changes!
