Oasis007:



When I sight Brutallion as my next opponent, I said damn it. Thank God he selected Palmer as 3rd bench, no hope of him getting added to the main points.

Time to go for Brutallion's throat. LOL!

lol

I didn't even touch my team that week... I only remembered the team after the GW deadline... I was in between many other fantasies ni jare...



Anyway, It's about time we address our nonchalant attitude to this beautiful game.... The handlers of Brutallion has been told to break their circle of consistent inconsistencies and do better in the 2nd half of the season..

Professor Killer in a chat with some journalists recently stated: "Even though the management of the club told us we can relax and spend less in recent seasons, having won this great championship twice, in other to give room for some paper tigers to actually develop and become real tigers, but what we will not tolerate is disrespect from these paper tigers, we remain the lion of this jungle and we are still as brutal as ever, cos we will never change from being BRUTALLION!".

TheStrongest:
Problem here is that there's no laid out rules guiding the league's for everyone to see.

The requirements should be listed for all, some of the requirements should be voted by the members to either be removed or remain.

The league na for everybody. Without structure we won't even know what we're fighting for during the season.

Apart from the administrator, let everyone have an equal playing right. How many FA Cup slots is given to the NL league, how many to active members on this section of the forum.
What's the criteria for the Carling Cup? Etc..

If everybody knows this rule, nobody go dey disturb everybody about codes or anything. Because at the end of the season you go done know where you dey..

Also, a metric should be put in place to determine what "active" entails, and who active pass. Because at the end of the day no be everybody wey active go get the code. Because the slots for league performance go dey obviously more than being active here.

Make we look into this because every season na the same back and forth.

There are laid down rules. Maybe you didn't get Ibime. Let me break it down for you.

Everybody is allowed to play in the main league. But to qualify for the FA H2H, Ditto the Carling Cup, there are 4 things that will qualify you to participate:

1. Being a previous main league winner or FA cup winner in the past.

2. Being in the Top30 in the main league during the previous season. Sometimes if there are late show, top 50 are considered

3. Being the winner of Carling Cup the previous season.

4. Being an active poster on this thread.

Now if we put all these together we might have more than 50 people qualifying for only 20 available slots in FA and 20 in Carling Cup, so it becomes a case of First come, first serve. Which means even if you are a previous winner or if you are qualified by other means but you don't come to request for code early, you will still miss out. This is because the volunteer administrators cannot afford to wait forever.

I hope the rules are clear now.

Seytiano:
Let's not deceive ourselves, no Nigerian arsenal fan will tell me he considers spurs a bigger rival than Chelsea, man united or Liverpool

You support Arsenal sometimes, we understand and appreciate that, but you are not a FAN.

No Arsenal fan will romance or dine with Spuds or Chelsea even with a long spoon, especially Spuds; the hatred between us has been ages.

The only time Arsenal fans will want either of them to win is if it help our cause, even though we know they are always useless to us, otherwise we will always wish them bottomless failure. Like they both didn't make Europe, we are just a lil happy, we would have preferred they were actually relegated

What a season for us at Brutallion... We are not so brutal as we always do. 😢

1st time in over a decade we did not make FA playoff and first time we are away from top 50 at this time of the season in the main League.... Well, just maybe per chance or miracle we can still make top 50 as we are currently occupying the 52nd position.

All in all it's been a poor season... We missed a number of deadline and had little time to make adequate assessment of the players and gameweek cos of lack of time due to many travels... But we only have ourselves to blame.

Fair enough... We will meet again.

Congratulations in advance to the winners.

timbros:
Losing by a solitary point. Not too bad considering all that happened to me this DGW.

Congrats iykmora.

Actually the way iamoyindamola lost to you and the way you also lost to iykmora can be very painful. It's better for someone to win you convincely than to lose this way.

Sorry 😔.

NothingDoMe:
As if it were. Meaning it still retains its FCT status.

The fact that it is still the FCT means that the leading candidate must score 25% in the FCT.

If 299 eradicated it's FCT status then it would be a different matter altogether. Then you'd be correct in saying that the 25% doesn't matter.

What is 'FCT status' that makes it special? FCT/Abuja in the eye of the law is just like any other states, just that it is under federal government administration. It has a state status like Oyo or Imo or Kogi or Kano.

puremaker7:
Now anybody that win Abuja will be declared abi?

No. You must still win majority of the votes from the 36 states AND FCT and have min 25% from 24 states.

But like I wrote earlier, I don't think Abuja is special and different from other states. So there will be no rerun specially for Abuja.

PointB:
Abuja is a MUST.

The constitution said AND FCT. Until you remove AND FCT clause, you must meet the requirement.

I doubt if INEC will be bold enough to ignore this fact. So calm down and face the run-off. What are you afraid of? Afterall it's the mighty jagagban we are talking about. What's a run-off for him? A walk in the park.

Lol. How are you my friend Point B? It's been a while.

On the subject matter, I think you are misplacing the AND. I think what the section mean is scoring at least 25% in any 2/3 states of the (36 states AND FCT). The AND is only joining FCT to the already established 36 states making it technically "37 states".

I don't think it means a special 25% must be scored in FCT.

Abuja has the status of a state. Being a federal territory,The 'governor' is the president who administer it through a ministerial appointee.

So if you score majority votes and 25% in any of the 2//3 of the '37 states' (original 36 states AND FCT which is 24.666 approx 25 states you win.

Now ... If for a moment you are right about Abuja having a special status requiring special 25% , then the rerun will only be between APC and PDP and only in FCT since FCT special requirement is the problem. But I don't believe the writers of the constitution mean that.

iamoyindamola:
Some of them are not, I will void them later
They are enticed by the prize
If I no see arsenal badge they are disqualified

Cool. Good observation.

Ceasaerius:
wrong code. Pls I need the correct code and that of nairaland official

Are you sure you are Arsenal fan?

The code is correct the character after f should be number zero and not letter o. Better still use copy and paste.

Nairaland official code is on the OP on the 1st page of this thread.

Top 10 pick.

How many do you own?

I have 7 of them but troubled with absence of one. There is no way to fix him in without removing 1 or 2 others in the list.

The most-selected players:
� G.Jesus : 73.8%
� M.Salah : 60.3%
� T.A-Arnold : 58.4%
� E.Haaland : 46.1%
� J.Cancelo : 45.2%

It's OFFICIAL! G.Jesus is the most owned FPL player ever! overtaking the 73.6% for Mo Salah in GW20 of the 21/22 season ...

Thanks Soddeq.

And thanks for reminding me it's been a long while I posted on this thread, many don't even know I am a Gunner anymore!

I never stopped breathing Arsenal even for a second... Come rain come shine, I remain a fan.

With all I have seen so far from our new recruits, preparations and pre-season matches, I believe this season will be much better. We should achieve Top4 and win something with God and goodluck on our side.

I see you guys at the Top!

iykmora:
Two Arsenal fans struggle it out in intriguing #fpl contest, who wins?

lol

iamoyindamola:
Didn't know you an arsenal fan
I will post the code soon

I know... but Arsenal has always shown as my favorite club on my Fantasy profile every year. I was very active on some of those fans thread years ago...and the current Arsenal fan thread was created by my good friend Naijababe before she got tired of Nairaland and deactivated her account.

I will stop by on Arsenal fan thread to say hi soon.

iamoyindamola:
My guys(those I know in our thread) hardly play

Don't let that discourage you. There are more followers just reading posts on that thread than those actually posting on it. I follow the thread constantly too...but I don't have the time and energy to banter. You can start it, even if it's only 2 of us there, it will improve with time.

But if you don't have the time and energy to admin it, I can understand...It's not easy.

iamoyindamola:
ofcourse

You are the most prominent Arsenal fan here, I think.

Why don't you create a league for Nairaland Arsenal Fans and drop the code here and on the fan thread. I see all other fans threads are doing similar.

It's not too late and if you leave it open others can always join later... Or what do you think?

tshabalala:
I don't see Kane blanking against Saints

Probably, but what will you do about Haaland against Bournemouth in GW2? Sell Kane to buy Haaland?

iamoyindamola:
I will rather have Salah in midfield
Then Jesus and one of vardy or mitrovic than having any of Nunez, kane or halland
I will get them later but not now those guys are too expensive to blank
Halland is playing westham very difficult
We are not sure Nunez will start since firminho and Jota are available
Kane first month is always blank too
So you see my reasons for not really hype on them yet

I get you. You made some good arguments.

iamoyindamola:
IMO it's too early to bring in any expensive CF
Kane is a late bloomer too
After 3 matches they should all be settled

Whao! so you are not considering any. You are one of the few I see not jumping into the bandwagon. I even see some considering having the 2 players.

But if any of the 2 or both haul, it might affect your rank, because of high ownership of both. And Jesus is a must have with more than 72% ownership.

Let's keep this thread active already... GW1 starts in 2days

GW1: Haaland Vs Kane - Which is better?

Haaland had been favorite option since the start, but he missed good chances and blanked during the community shield, so some managers think he doesn't worth the price anymore even with 1.5 xG against a strong Liverpool defence. Who agrees and who disagrees?

Here we go

Ibime:
FA Cup place is based on league position

There are 1,000 players trying to get into a 24 team tournament. It can't be done on FA Cup alone.

With that said, you are being relegated to Carling Cup next season

You think say you wise

Congratulations Ibime!

iykmora:
OAM4J will beat u next round. He still has freehit chip left.

Hahaha...This assignment you wan give me is a tough one o

Ibime:
Now he has

This indeed is your season... How your captain will come from no where to score 4 goals in a match, is luck extraordinaire!

Haba! Na only your captain waka come?

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
