UKFF FPL 2023-24

[Fog Dude]

The final scores were up in the original post on Sunday night, and the table was updated soon after that. Some healthier scoring this time, with top scorer Pete moving above joint worst performer Rory into eight place. Also into double figures is Stinky, who moves up a place to put himself well into title contention, while Vegeta consolidates his hard-won spot in the top half. 

Two of the aforementioned were helped by the randomly selected 'wildcard' fixture, which turned out to be #1 again, Burnley v West Ham. They nabbed two bonus points each for getting the scoreline spot on, alongside seph who therefore stops himself from being cast even further adrift. 

Elsewhere, wins for favourites Partick, Ayr and Bournemouth Ladies in cup ties all proved fruitful, with victories for Luton, Newcastle and AFCB's men all yielded more of a mixed bag of guesses. The other Scottish game going to penalties produced a dud, whereas Inter's failure to capitalise on turmoil at Juventus caught out a majority of pickers.

Right, D2Ds have been on the backburner lately so we've still got two more people's initial turns to squeeze in before the packed Christmas schedule. That means one of those will form part of the card in the opening post very soon.

The results went into the opening post last night and the main table update soon followed. I'd already figured out the bonus points before that since Rory got his D2D right and only ultimo – who's now regained the lead – didn't surrender any bonus points to him, meaning Mr Fice skyrockets into the top half of the standings. Without those bonuses, nobody would've even made it into double figures. Among those still struggling, Pete moves further clear of late picker seph, whilst at the other end Stinky also jumps a place to slot into second. 

The random 'wildcard' fixture turned out to be match #3 at Turf Moor. A majority of people who picked on time rightly thought it'd (finally) be a home win for Burnley to claim an extra bonus each, but nobody foresaw it'd be such a one-sided affair which ultimately proved to be the last straw for Paul Heckingbottom's continued employment. A similar outcome was last night's scoreline from Hampden Park where everybody knew it'd be an away win but none could quite guess the (eventually futile) wide margin of victory beforehand.

Elsewhere, fair play to those who actually opted for the upset in our one and only FA Cup tie, as well as the trio who got the Dutch derby spot on. Victories for Arsenal and Brentford also yielded a lot of points, but an insipid reverse for Man Utd plus score draws at Dean Court and the Etihad on a mad Super Sunday ended up a tad tougher to pick. 

I've left the FPL Cup standings in the table link because we're gonna get another matchday in there next time, this time mercifully not tied to an international round. Instead it's a fairly ordinary set of 10 that'll go up at the top of the thread shortly.
