The Community Grand Play-offs – Qualification Results and First Round Draw

Hello and welcome back to the Community Grand Play-offs. Qualification is now complete and we have our draw for the First Round Proper.

Week 3 of qualification saw Sergio Aguero drive the community to a Gameweek average of 100.1 points and the qualification score up from 90 to 183. The top seed after three weeks was Jadawg scoring 55, 69 and a massive 129 for a total of 253 points. Asian Pele beat Jay_ for the final 256th seeding via a bench points tiebreaker.

The full qualifying order can be seen here. This of course means that Jadawg vs Asian Pele is the first tie of the draw while the rest of the draw can be found here.

Following on from last week’s Mod watch, all five moderators in qualifying spots last week held onto them, while Ryan was unable to climb the rankings and misses out. The draws for the moderators that did qualify are as follows:

Jonty vs Suarez_Messi_Neymar

TorresMagic vs Walsh

D1sable vs Sh@ktimann

Spencer vs Banananose Maldonado

and finally a mod-royale with

andy85wsm vs roscola

Elsewhere there are big names coming head to head throughout the draw including but not limited to:

Diva vs Giggs Boson

Doolittle vs Billy Gilmore

Epic Fail vs Reedy

YourMumsAthletic vs Woy of the Wovers

Jawain04 vs Christina

As a reminder the next six rounds are best of three matches where each Gameweek is a separate head-to-head match. In the event of a tied Gameweek the tiebreaker steps are as follows:

1.       Most points benched

2.       Fewest transfers for the Gameweek

3.       Most goals

4.       Most assists

5.       Most defender clean sheets

6.       Coin toss

Commiserations to all those who were knocked out in the qualifying rounds and to all those in the First Round Proper, you can find your opponent’s Fantasy Premier League ID in the qualifying table linked at the top. Good luck!

FPL is a simple game made complicated by double gameweek planners.

    Cheers Balders, I appear to have drawn Beavis this round. Hope I get another kind draw in the next round 😉

    Great work Balders.
    Extremely tough draw against Walsh.
    Lots of differentials especially in midfield to make it interesting.
    Need to be alive in GW11 so I can get the WC out.

    Sky sports going on about England having won all their games in their group.only the sixth time it's been done.
    Big wow
    They beat the footballing giants of
    Switzerland,Slovakia,Estonia,Lithuania and let's not forget San Marino
    Give me a break.

    Three points off qualifying. Another tournament. Another opening round defeat.
    Thanks for organising Balders. Next year!!!

    That tourney route chart looks amazing! How did you decide between my self and Az for who came 20th? I think I should have got that spot for having the lower ID and just generally being more awesome!

      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      aha sorry MCH as per the rules it was a coin toss

      1. MCH
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Hmmm i'm skeptical! Did he pay you to rig it? Do we have indecently verified video of the sides being chosen and the coin being flipped? How much did he pay you fess up!!

          • 10 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          well he did get to keep the coin afterwards....

            It just gets worse! Not only did I miss out on a prestigious top 20 place I also missed out on a free coin. THIS IS THE WORST DAY EVER.

              • 10 Years
              8 years, 6 months ago

              😀 Glad to see you're taking a coin toss so well MCH

    Love the chart Balders, looks like a really well run competition

    @Balders Great work mate, cheers. I've just seen the qualifying spreadsheet and you've mixed my team ID up with the player below me, hopefully that shouldn't affect my qualifying! Daniel would be a big name to take down!

      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Thanks Barry, I'll update that now!

    Excellent stuff. Thanks for organizing this! Sad to see that if I didn't bench so many pts I could have had that 1st seed (not that it actually matters)

  13. Jay_
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Beat in a tiebreaker 🙁 thanks for running this though mate

    • Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      It looks like Diva vs Boson comes down to this:

      .
      Team A

      Butland(swa)
      Darmian(eve)
      Mane(LEI)
      Ayew(STK)
      Vardy(sot)

      .
      Team B

      Myhill(SUN)
      Dawson(SUN)
      Hazard(AVL)
      Mata(eve)
      Martial(eve)

      .
      The United game looks key.

        😀 Love it GB, I always like to see some head to head differentials, worried about Monday Night Football?

        1. Piggs Boson
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          A little. Ayew could ruin me Monday.

      1. Rolls-Royce
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Team B has a better chance in that case.

        1. Diva
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          I need WBA to concede 4. 😕

                  8 years, 6 months ago

                  It looks like you're a touch over the top 1000 average so far.

          • 10 Years

      1. SHAMESHAMESHAME
        • 8 Years

        Vardy and Bellerin for the win

    • Piggs Boson

      Whelp. Good work Diva

      1. Diva
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks GB, but there's still two gameweeks to go. That fat lady hasn't sung yet. On Friday night I genuinely thought you were going to win this week.

        1. Piggs Boson
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Everything that could have gone wrong for me, went wrong. Ah well. Can't see me winning two GWs on the trot now! My team has far too many problems!

          - 3 goals and no Mata or Martial involvement. Mata subbed off early.

          - No City.

          - Mahrez

          - Gomez

          1. Diva
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 6 months ago

            Yeah, I got lucky and you were unlucky. Thinking you were going to win allowed me to take the extra hit, which turned out really well, but it could have cost me the in our head-to-head in other circumstances.

      Unlucky Zombie mate, think I have this in the bag. Ayew and Williams would need to get 40 points tomorrow

    • INDIANPUNDIT
      • 8 Years

      Beat my opponent hands down ! Thenewname ....don't see him much on ffs ! Probably hiding behind the bushes after the loss against me !

      1. Narcos
        • 10 Years

          8 years, 6 months ago

          Best of luck mate !

          I think if you don't wildcard this week ,you could have won !

          1. Narcos
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 6 months ago

            Wc i did thinking long term. This week I made few poor decisions and some hard luck. Yaya and haz not playing full game and i benched toby. Should have played him. And cedric got subbed at the 59th min. So it all went against. Plan was good but execution did not happen as planned.Next week will be a better one. Congrats again

            1. INDIANPUNDIT
              • 8 Years
              8 years, 6 months ago

              Thanks !

              Cedric 59 mins was actually hard luck !

              Best of luck mate for the next game !
