Fog Dude Posted August 12 Posted August 12 (edited) Welcome in, it's another bloomin' FPL season! Sign-ups are now closed. Missing a D2D turn incurs a points deduction. The plan is to update this line with the standings throughout the campaign, so here you go. === Oh joy of joys, not one but two men's international breaks in a row. We're sticking with Europe because all the other continents take a while to get their act together immediately following a World Cup. Take note, late pickers: Scotland's match starts at 3pm Central European Time, which is 2 o'clock here. Of course, nowadays when the major male teams are on pause, there's extra effort to bring eyeballs to the women's club game so we're also featuring the Merseyside derby to round off the card. Scroll down further if you want to know whom you're facing in the first lot of FPL Cup meetings too. Together, we can get through this long fortnight! Week 7 fixtures UEFA Nations League Slovenia v Scotland (Saturday 14:00) England v Spain (Saturday 19:45) Denmark v Wales (17:00) Gibraltar v Andorra (17:00) Israel v Ireland Norway v Portugal Belgium v France Northern Ireland v Hungary (Monday) Sweden v Poland (Monday) Women's Super League Liverpool v Everton (14:00) NB All games kick off on Sunday and at 7:45pm unless stated. Times are given in BST. === FPL Cup group stage GROUP A MVP RULZ vs. Tim H's Chutney Spoon ultimo the great vs. Vegeta GROUP B Fog Dude vs. Stinky Dad Gooner vs. TildeGuy~!

Fog Dude Posted August 14 Author Posted August 14 Among those who signed up, only a few hours for @RoryFice and defending champion @Vegeta to get their inaugural picks in. Not gonna tag anybody else (or make a habit of it on Friday nights) but the same goes for any of the usual suspects thinking about taking part again. Like I mentioned, you can join in as late as Week 6 but any points you fail to get because you don't make your guesses can't be recouped down the line so you'd only be handicapping yourself. Quote

Fog Dude Posted August 19 Author Posted August 19 On 8/15/2026 at 2:37 PM, Vegeta said: It's 14.38 hope that's not too late for my entry Yeah, not to worry, the forum lets me see what time it was when you posted already. Of course you can make guesses for any match that hasn't kicked off yet but do keep in mind that we consider 14:00 on Saturday to be late enough to count as "not lunchtime" with the only exception being Easter when 15:00 on Friday is the cut-off instead (though to be fair, you're not one of the usual suspects who keeps forgetting that year after year). Bent Wookie had the right idea (not that it mattered this time with "Sampi" losing) if you only notice halfway through the weekend that you've missed a pick or accidentally typed one as "q-£" when you meant "1-3" for instance: make a new post rather than editing so that you don't invalidate your existing bets. Anyway, the results went into the opening post on Monday night, and there's obviously still no table but I've got a Plan A, B and C for if I still can't get imgbox to work this time next week. As is traditional for round 1, I'll just describe what the spreadsheet on my hard drive says instead... not much to report since nobody made it into double figures, with TildeGuy the closest on nine points. Vegeta begins the defence of his title in second place with eight, followed by ultimo on six. There are then three players on five points apiece and and two on four each, leaving Gooner in the unfamiliar spot of bringing up the rear with three points. A mere three of the 90 guesses were spot on this time, with Motherwell's shock reverse at Stenhousemuir producing a complete dud outcome, and the scores in exotic Cantabria and Lombardy being good for just a single one-pointer each. The result in Cardiff was too one-sided for anybody to get it exactly, with the topsy-turvy Championship yielding a mixed bag of predictions too. The only solid scorelines were a disastrous pair for the Tayside duo as both were emphatically dumped out of the League Cup. The first of those, match #6 at Pittodrie, was randomly selected as the first "wildcard" fixture of the season so everybody got an extra point apiece, thereby raising the average score up to a still measly 5.4 points. Right, that's enough housekeeping for now. A new set of 10 will appear in the original post in a minute, which has also been updated with the latest number of confirmed and pending entries. Quote
