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. === First half of the card is all-EPL, with Chelsea-Man Utd missing out since it's been brought forward to Saturday lunchtime for TV. The regularly scheduled trip is to Italy for two matches (of which one happens to be a derby), but we're also visiting Germany for a Klassiker and Austria for Europe's best cross-city rivalry. Sandwiched in amongst all that is an Edinburgh derby too... albeit taking place in Glasgow. Scroll down to find out how you got on last week in the FPL if you like too, and to see who you're up against this time. Week 12 fixtures Premier League Bournemouth v Leeds United Brentford v Nottingham Forest Coventry City v Sunderland Hull City v Ipswich Town Liverpool v Arsenal (Sunday 16:30) Scottish League Cup semi-final Heart of Midlothian v Hibernian (Sunday, at Hampden Park) German Bundesliga Bayern Munich v Borussia Dortmund (17:30) Serie A AC Milan v Inter (19:45) Juventus v Napoli (Sunday 19:45) Austrian Bundesliga Austria Vienna v Rapid Vienna (Sunday 16:00) All games kick off on Saturday and at 3pm unless stated. Times are given in GMT. === FPL Cup group stage matchday 3 GROUP A MVP RULZ vs. RoryFice Tim H's Chutney Spoon vs. Vegeta GROUP B Fog Dude vs. I Bent My Wookie Stinky Dad 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
