FFS UEFA Champions League Awards

Welcome to the FFS UEFA Champion’s League awards ceremony where we congratulate the winner of the final as well as the winners of the competition’s various awards. The latest results can be found in the spreadsheet here.

The Final

Firstly, huge congratulations to the two finalists Lucy and HvT. They both did exceptionally well to reach the final, which took place during double Gameweek 37.

Before the games started, HvT was already ahead as Lucy resorted to taking a double hit in order to sort her team out and ensure she could maximise her starting players. However, disaster struck on the first day of the Gameweek as her captain Dimitri Payet had failed to register any attacking points and Antonu Martial pulled up with an injury during his warmup. HvT had placed faith in West Ham’s pony-tailed striker Andy Carroll and had triple captained him for this tie. Fortunately for Lucy, he also failed to register any attacking points as West Ham suffered a rare home defeat to Swansea, conceding four goals in the process. Despite the captain failings, HvT led the tie 42 to 28 after the first set of fixtures.

However, the tie was turned on its head in the second round of fixtures,  especially during Manchester United’s 2-3 defeat at Upton Park. Lucy pulled ahead thanks to Martial’s brace and then looked unstoppable as Payet earned two assists and Michail Antonio and Winston Reid, who were also in her team, both scored. Winning by 93-89,  her hits and faith in the right West Ham attackers paid off as she held aloft the inaugural FFS UEFA Champions League trophy.

Awards

The award for the Golden Boot (the highest total score in a single round) goes to Lucy, scoring a huge 193 points in her semi-finals against Have no Clue.

The Best Group Stage Performance goes to Zombie, for winning all of his group games ending up with 18 points, whilst the Highest Scoring Team in the group stages goes to Saniul, scoring an impressive 427 points, which works out to just over 70 points per game!

I would like to say a big thank you to all of you who took part in this tournament. It was a pleasure organising this for the community and I hope you all enjoyed it. Please let me know in the comments what aspects you enjoyed the most/least of this tournament so that I can improve it for next season.

I look forward to seeing you all next year. Enjoy the summer holidays.

    Thank you for hosting it and congrats Lucy . I got knocked out by Giggs Bosson in the qualifiers God I hate that guy 😉 . Will you be doing it again next year ?

      Cheers Adam!

      If there's enough interest then sure 🙂 Probably going to have to increase the qualifying cap to 256 entrants or more! 😆

        If you can have a regular poster benchmark for the qualification that would be great. What made this tournament do much fun was that we knew all the players

          True but I don't want to exclude people just because they're new. I'll see what I can do for next season 🙂

            Generally you will find regulars will get in on this comps just by being on site and a few newbies/casuals will filter through as well on launch days etc and this is good too for the dynamic of the game and promoting scout/Fpl to the masses.

    Thanks again Jaffa-it's been a great tournie and I've thoroughly enjoyed it - you've run it like a boss!
    Congratulations Lucy,it's been a long road to this final and you deserved the win in the end ultimately a TC fail on Caroll cost me dear, it seems the pony tailed striker was a 'punt' too far, even when I was leading by 14 pts I had an uneasy feeling as I knew your luck was in when Azpi got three bonus points after conceding 3 goals in the Sunderland game!

    Well done to Lucy. Well done to HVT. Well done to Jaffa for organising. It was great. Thought I'd get a special mention as I had 1 point from 3 games and still managed to qualify from the group 🙂

    Note to mods. More of these kinds of tournaments would be great especially with regular posters.

    Lost to the eventual winner in the semis - no shame in that. Congrats, Lucy!

    Juuuuuuuhuuuuuuu, finally my name somewhere on FFS 😉

    Well done Lucy, tough luck HVT!

    Oh and Jaffa, great work for the tourny..loved every second of it. Would love to be a part next year as well if you plan to run it (give me a holler if you need an extra pair of hands in running it)!

    It was all great work Jaf. I can't think of anyway how you could improve it. You were good at communicating fixtures, results, with good write ups too.

    Really good fun.

      Cheers PF! 🙂

    This has been a well run competition Jaffa, its just a shame for me that I got knocked out in the qualifiers!

    An extended two-legged qualifying section would be good I think, perhaps even if it knocks back the first week of the group stages slightly.

      Cheers Balders! That could work actually. I imagine I'll have a lot more entrants for this tournament next season so it could get messy!

    I completely missed this only to then have to read about all the fun.
    Will be keeping an eye out for it next season so I don't miss out again on what seems to have been such a joy.

    Congrats to Lucy!!! Nice to see hits working out!

    Nothing wrong with how it was run Jaffa. The age old adage if it ain't broke then why try to fix it.

    Well done Jaff. Exceptional tournament.

    The only way to improve things is to give my team straight ticket to final. 😉
