Congratulations go to Matt Martyniak who, on a dramatic final day, claimed the Fantasy Premier League crown by just three points after the Gameweek 38 bonus points settled matters.

Matt, a veteran Fantasy Premier League manager, has competed in the game since the 2006/07 season and had previously recorded an impressive finish of 707th back in 2007/08. A recent arrival in the Scout community, he was just two points behind Kelvin Travers, another Scout league member, at the end of 90 minutes. However, it was the bonus points from Liverpool’s 1-0 win over QPR that proved decisive. Matt earned a total of five points via his Gameweek 38 signing, Philppe Coutinho, and left-back Jose Enrique which eventually saw him topple Kelvin at the summit.

That pairing ended the season topping our classic league with Evs finishing third and fifth overall and former leader, Julian Zipparo in fourth and sixth in the overall rankings.

Congratulations again to Matt and all our Scout League members who enjoyed such successful FPL campaigns and to all our FPL managers who helped to make the community so active, knowledgable and friendly.

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

    Hi everyone - sorry I haven't been on here for a while, been busy and disheartened recently. Just popped back to give you all a quick goodbye.

    I decided, back when I had a chance of winning, that this would be my last year playing FPL, and I'll be sticking by that even though I've come crashing back down to earth in recent weeks (if I ever actually meet Wayne Rooney, I may need to be restrained). I'm moving abroad and will concentrate more on foreign things.

    I'll just say a few things:

    1) Well done to everyone on here who has done so well, and particularly Evs.

    2) And thank you to everyone who has given me any advice on here over the last few years. Thinking in particular of Lateriser, Giggs Boson, Doosra, Gargamel and the Tinkerman. You've made it much more fun to play this game.

    3) Thanks to Mark for running such a great sight, and making the game a lot more fun. And thanks to Granville for the podcasts.

    4) I would advise anyone to take account of the RMT, created by my friend the Professor, next season. It helped steer me right to the top, and it was only when I peeled away from it to maximise my chances of actually winning that I came back down.

    Take care everybody and enjoy next season.

    Jonah

          I'd just miss the Google integration. Makes life easier.

          Not a fan of the tiles. Not much customisation.

          And it was too heavy.

      yeh good phone and a little bit different from the norm. I am a big fan of windows mobile I think it looks great only thing with it is if you like to be really get into your phone it gives you no where near the access of Android but if thats not your thing then it doesn't really matter. Are you getting it new or second hand? Its going to be a good bit more pricey than an S2!

          Depends on what is most important to you in a phone. Each of the phones at the top of that price range has their own strengths. I am a HTC fan so would go with the HTC One I just like the OIS camera and the software HTC add to Android.

    I am torn, I'm not gonna lie. I just dropped out of the top 1000, and down to 5th in the Old Farts League. This makes me sad. 🙁 But I really have had an amazing season, far better than I imagined at the start, and far more fun than I ever expected, for reasons completely unrelated to rank. Thanks Scouts, all of you, and thanks ffs posters, and please tell me something that makes me stop thinking about having ended the season on a down note! 🙂
