Fenley Wins FPL Crown

In what was the most tense and nail-biting finish to a Fantasy Premier League (FPL) season in memory, Fantasy Football Scout member, Tom Fenley, has prevailed as champion.

Huge congratulations go to Tom on a day which saw him cling to his lead, having gone into the final Gameweek with a 13-point gap between himself and his nearest rival. Tom had that lead pegged by second-placed Borna Gamulin in what was a dramatic final day.

Everton’s clean sheet at Hull, together with bonus points for Daniel Sturridge and Samir Nasri saw Gamulin gain ground but, eventually, Arsenal’s clean sheet and Aaron Ramsey’s goal at Norwich proved decisive as Gamulin’s two Everton defenders were denied bonus points at Hull. When the dust settled, a single point won Tom the FPL crown.

While Fantasy Football Scout community members have won the FPL title on several occasions, Tom’s victory marks the first time that a member has triumphed. We’ll be catching up with Tom very soon to ask him to recall his season, the drama of the final day and just how he used our members area to help him over his campaign.

Again, our congratulations go out to Tom and to all the members of the Fantasy Football Scout community who enjoyed superb FPL campaigns. Special mentions go to Luke Weston, Veronika Solymosi and Eoin Maye who all sealed top ten finishes.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    I know I post a lot of RMTs and I appreciate all the replies I get - even the ones I don't agree with. 😉

    My 3rd season playing FPL and my ranking is getting higher all the time. A dodgy last few game weeks for me has put a downer on things, but I've got to be happy with what I've achieved.

    Sporting still around? Sorry for a bit late response. It's nice to hear I did better than you at least. 😉

    Crawled into top 20k on last GW. Had an awful spring and am not happy at all. I was shoe in in top 10k before. Maybe that's why top 20k feels awful.

    We live and learn, as you said. I trying to find the lesson and feel that it is that this is too much waste of time for very little reward (if any). So maybe the lesson to be learned is not to continue playing, maybe I won't return for next season. No World Cup fantasy at least, that's for sure.

        I see you had an awful season as well.

        To me, I think more important than my final rank is that I wasted a lot of time with this and it has ruined football for me. having a bet in football match changes it a bit. having a fantasyfootball team destroys the whole experience, because you no longer hope events that are favourable to the team that you sympathize with, nor the ones that are most wonderful and entertaining, but ones that score points to your fantasy football players.

          I'm glad you liked the DM lyric ! Fwiw I'm a huge fan ,
          I had a shocking season by my own standards I went from 1.5k > 200k and I tried dam hard , Rvp / Yaya / Ramsey / def bonus / hits / etc but I got it wrong admittedly.
          And yes no no you're right it does destroy the feel good factor of supporting 1 team ( I am a Utd diehard ) ,
          It is a sorry state if affairs when your shouting for city / pool / Chelsea assets , I've been doing that now got a few seasons and I still haven't got over it , I should take a break from the Wc ,
          But I also probably should stop supporting these over paid / egotistic people (are people !) / playboys and millionaires of the western world that call themselves football players.

            Wow! Another DM fan! Haven't heard from them / listened to them in ages, but they were my favorite in the mid '80s.

            The landscape is changing

            Somebody
            It doesn't matter
            Fly on the windscreen

            And personally I thought their lyrics were pretty meaningful, compared to Duran Duran, Culture Club etc ...

            Haha, you're damn right about that. I have to say, I don't have this "fan" problem, I'm no fan, so I already don't really support any of these over paid egoistic moron playboys. I'm more of a gambler, but I also genuinely like football, and feel that I have lost the match experience since I started playing fantasy football.

            Time waste factor is even bigger one. But all in all: it takes a lot of my free time and destroys one pass time I really used to like (watching football). Losing few tens of euros ain't really worth that investment of my pass time.

            Maybe it's time to quit.

      No matter how well it's picked would still need a fair amount of hindsight to get a good rank. This year my GW1 team would have been ranked in the top 750k though I might have picked better if I'd adopted a season long buy-and-hold strategy. Maybe 250k would have been a good rank this year.

    As expected, Reus will not be in the PL next season so start thinking of a different mid to buy.

    "It's safe to say I will be playing for Borussia Dortmund also in the 2014/2015 season," he told Kicker-Sportmagazin.

    "Basically I do not need to stress all the time that I am feeling great being with the club.

    "As far as leaving (Borussia Dortmund) that is no issue for me, and I am not affected by it (the transfer release clause)."

    Following on from Innsie's post (which I was about to reply to then realised I had misread his post), what's been everyone's favourite FPL moment this season?

    Buying Kolarov for a hit in GW20 (the week he scored) was a 'juhuuuuu moment' for me but the best was probably the Mignolet penalty save late on in the opening game of the season. Got himself 3 baps to go with the penalty save points and rescued his and Kolo's double CS for my team.

    All downhill from there 😆

      "However, Tan remains unrepentant and once again criticised Mackay's transfer dealings, and in particular his swoop for then 20-year-old Danish striker Andreas Cornelius.

      He said: "I gave him a big budget and he spent it on the wrong people. We were supposed to have a main striker and we signed a 20-year-old, paying him £45,000 a week.

      "We paid more than £10million. The reported £7.5million is not the right number. It was over £10million. And, guess what? He hardly started.

      "Why pay so much for a main striker, pay £45,000 a week, more than Craig Bellamy, and then don't start him?

      "Stupid decisions. This is a manager who knows how to run a business? People ask why I am angry. Wouldn't you be if you hired somebody and this was the kind of performance?"

      You do wonder why he spent that money to not play him...

              Absolutely and for a club like Cardiff it really wasn't smart to take such a risk. They could have snapped up a few of the lower PL strikers that had been around for the last while.

              Their second massive failure was swapping Odem for Kenwyne, that was Ole's fault I believe.

                Of course already the risk, but more importantly that he did not play the guy. I can almost guarantee that Cornelius will get a transfer to a bigger league and it will be a success. He is quite impressive. The major point he makes is this:

                "Why pay so much for a main striker, pay £45,000 a week, more than Craig Bellamy, and then don't start him?"

                Why did Cornelius hardly get a minute in Cardiff? There's no chance it can turn into a good transfer unless you play the guy.

                  Very true, I think he's a very talented guy and should be a big one in years to come. If any other team had signed him I think he would have done well, I think he could have done well with Cardiff but the amount of time he was given was shocking.

                  But my point above is that I don't think Cardiff had the money to take a punt, we both know that bringing players from outside the PL can go either way (Michu, Bony vs RVW, Aspas) so I'm surprised they didn't look to a PL journeyman, someone who had played in the PL a good deal and knew how to play at that level.

                  I have a feeling they expected Cornelius to adjust instantly.

      I hope Pochettino stays and has a more long term vision than just one season, but you'd have to expect a bit of a decline if they lose some of their best players, they need to keep JRod.

        No, I'll be around ENR, wouldn't miss the World Cup. I hear you crazy guys at UEFA have something up your sleeves - hopefully it will involve a resurrection of the Samurai Blue. I really enjoyed that tournament ( even though B2B Ballacks went beserk with the punts and Jafalad got a smidgeon miffed at not being selected for some games ).
        Thanks for organizing those and the CL, EL games too. I know they're a load of hard work but we do enjoy them.

    Imagine if a team could swap leagues for one season, like AC Milan would play one season in the French league and Monaco were to play in Serie A for a season..

    What one team would you like to have in the premier league for just one season?
    Don't pick an English team from down the leagues..

    I'd like to see Celtic attempt it one year, Dortmund would also be interesting to see how they'd do, or would you pick Barcelona just to see if Messi could do it at Stoke on that famously windy and rainy Wednesday night?

        Barca would make half the teams in the premier league look like they don't know how to play football 😛 the close control that Xavi / Iniesta / Messi & co all have would mean 80% possession over Stoke..

        It would be interesting to see if the big teams would just resort to kicking lumps out of them!

      Its a great addition, which will need careful planning and players need to ensure that they give it their full attention as failure to swap your players can be very costly.

    Now that it's all over for another season, looking forwards to 2014/15 - do you see any sleeping giants coming back to FPL prominence? By which I mean players who have been gold in previous seasons, but fell by the wayside this season - players like Cisse, Michu, Fellaini &Benteke. Will you be keeping the faith in any of these for 2014/15 or was this season a sign that they've lost their FPL appeal for good!!!

      If they all stay where they are for relatively the same prices, then I won't be going near any of them unless they hit form.
