The Scoreboard presents the Fantasy Premier League information you need from the day’s matches all on one screen, including the current top five BPS (Bonus Point System) standings from each match (potential Bonus Point earners are in bold). Actual Bonus Points will be shown when added – all points are provisional until then.
SCOUT PICK CHALLENGES - GAMEWEEK 33 FINAL RESULTS
Well, that last Spurs game certainly changed things in terms of bonus points this week, although I am happy to announce this week's gameweek rankings stand at:
1st - Suarezista & Beavis (77pts)
3rd - Banskt (76pts)
With Milanista & Zan Keroski agonisingly close to the points with brilliant scores of 72pts and 70 pts. Unfortunately for both also, the FF Scout Picks & Differentials finished on a total of 72 points and thus only the top three mentioned above will be awarded bonus points.
This gives us a grand standing of:
1st - Lionel's Messy Boxers (6pts)
2nd - Suarezista & Djerbil - Feyenoord at my Helm (5pts)
With 5 people on 4 points below. It is tight, and it will be a tight finish with only 5 GWs left. Every point could make the difference. Until next time...

Format changes
The UEFA Executive Committee held in May 2013 approved the following changes to the UEFA Champions League starting from the 2015–16 season (for the three-year cycle until the 2017–18 season)
The winners of the previous season's UEFA Europa League will qualify for the UEFA Champions League. They will enter at least the play-off round, and will enter the group stage if the berth reserved for the Champions League title holders is not used.
The previous limit of a maximum of four teams per association will be increased to five, meaning that if the Champions League title holders finish outside the top four of their domestic league (if the winner is from the one of the top three ranked associations), the fourth-placed team of their association will not be prevented from participating in the tournament.
it basically means.. if Man Utd won CL, 4th place arsenal/everton/spurs will still have the chance for a CL spot next season?Open ControlsIm not a fan of this. 4 representatives from one country is too much as it is

Open Controls
I like it. means a team that qualified via the league doesn't get robbed if someone from their league happens to win the CL but finish outside the top 4.
Open ControlsIn principle its good but I dont think that any country should have more than 2 representatives in the CL. I guess im just old fashioned that way
Open Controlsif it was 1 then only half of the remaining teams would be allowed to compete this year. no RM, Chelsea, Dortmund, or Atletico
Open ControlsThat would be ideal!
Open Controls
yep
What is the point of "champions" league with only 30-40% of the teams being champion
That ratio should become 60-70Open Controls
The CL wouldn't be a good brand if that was the case. Surely its better to have the best teams in Europe represented. Obviously a balance is important and I think the CL has a good balance at the moment between having the best teams and allowing lesser teams from other countries to participate.
Open ControlsLesser teams will not be able to compete and become one of Europes elite if theyre not getting any money. The CL is set up to give money to money. We keep going on about how good these young Belgians are. Where are Anderlecht and Club Brugge?
Open Controlsjust because they're Belgian doesn't mean they have to play in Belgium!
how many players in the top EPL clubs are British? how many players on PSG are French? etc etcOpen ControlsObviously, but the majority came through younth systems in Belgium and didnt stay there because other European clubs offered them huge wages. If only one club from each country was in the CL do you think Lukaku would have left as early as he did?
Open Controls
The amount of teams per league can be reviewed every year. As far as I'm aware all european teams have a path to the CL.
Open ControlsOf course they do but the seeding makes its almost impossible for the smaller clubs to get in
Open ControlsI think its important to note that the premier league has a lot more money in it than say the Slovakian league. There will always be a gulf between these nations no matter how hard UEFA try. Its just the way it is.
Open ControlsThere will be. I dont think the Slovak champions who obviously work hard to win the league should be ousted out the comp by a team who had an OK season and came 4th in their league.
Open ControlsGood point well made. I think the amount of money the CL offers though is somewhat dependant on the quality of the competition. Once you start limiting it to 2 teams per nation there will be a lot less revenue going into the CL. Its a sure way for UEFA to lose money and ultimately the teams who participate will get less.
Open Controlsthe Champions League is about high quality football. as it is, the group stages can be a bit uninspiring at times.
if the Slovak champions can beat the 4th place team in a play off, or whatever their route to the tournament is, then they have earned their right to compete in the CLOpen Controls
fair enough
but if that was the case that means that Atletico, who could make it to the semis or possibly even the finals, wouldn't have been allowed to compete in the CL this year
i'd rather a 3rd, 4th, and even 5th team from a bigger league be allowed to compete instead of another team from a smaller countryOpen ControlsHows the team from the smaller country going to become a bigger team though if the money keeps going to the big leagues?
The gulf is increasing. Yes the other clubs might get their day in the sun Celtic v Barca ect. Even though I hate to admit it Celtic should be a big club and competing with the elite but instead when they get a half decent player he'll jump shit to sit on a PL bench.Open ControlsJump ship *
Open Controlsthe best want to compete against the best. many players would rather jump ship to join a lower level EPL side and compete against top opposition every week as opposed to staying in a smaller league and playing say 1 other good team i their league plus a couple CL or Europa matches every year
Open Controls
now what happens if the CL and Europa winners are both from the same league but both sides finish outside the top 4? 😕
Open Controls
One less spot for 6th/7th to get into the Europa league
Open Controls
I do actually favour the idea of a cup winner being involved in the CL over say 3rd and 4th spot. It'd make the FA cup and League cup a whole lot more interesting. If the winner of the cup is already in the top 2 then 3rd place goes to the CL
Open Controlsresults in the league favor consistency whereas the cups are based on such fewer matches, and partially based on the draw, as well as potentially based on penalties
also if you gave cup winners a spot in the CL it could only be the FA Cup. wouldn't be fair if it was the League Cup too as most every other country has only one Cup not two.
also if you give cup winners a spot that sets a precedent and you have to give cup winners from every country a spot, thus allowing far too many lower league teams into the CL and lowering the quality of playOpen ControlsOk so lets say its just one cup winner from each nation. The lesser nations simply have to go through a qualifying round just like their league winners do.
Open Controls
It is very unfortunate when a Club wins the Champions League and this results in another Club from the same country that would otherwise have qualified has to miss out. So it seems only fair that the Champions League winners should get an extra place in this case.
I liked the old system in which only one team from each country plus the European Champions would qualify, but that probably won't happen because too many of the big Clubs from the stronger Leagues would object to being excluded.
Bring back the old Cup Winners Cup! If there were only one or two Clubs per nation in the Champions League then the status of the Cup Winners Cup would be considerably enhanced. The winners of the Cup Winners Cup should get an additional place in the next Cup Winners Cup, not in the Champions League, unless they also qualified for the Champions League by winning their national championship. But they could still play the Champions League winners in the European Super Cup.
Have a third competition to succeed the Europa League. Again, if there were fewer teams in the Champions League then the status of this third competition would also be enhanced. And have fewer dropouts from the Champions League in it, so that it can stand alone on its own merits. In the old days, many of the big clubs competed in this third competition when they had failed to win their national League or Cup the previous season, and the Club that won it was often stronger than the one that won the Cup Winners Cup.
In short, the best way to increase the status of the Europa League would be to decrease the number of teams in the Champions League, not to give its winners the right to play in the next season's Champions League. The Champions League would then revert to being a League for true Champions, and the other competition might well become equally strong.Open Controls
Long Post Alert
This season in fpl has been a rather absurd one, so I thought I'd do a fully jonty of a player who typifies this season and the success that the man himself, Jonty has had.

Captained Hazard for his 42 points
Coleman Gw 30 (22 Points)
Coleman in the double Gameweek (18)
What I want to point out here is this guy chased every single bandwagon and every time it worked; he has had Campbell, dzeko, sturridge, lukaku, Suarez, Rooney, adebayor, soldado, Aguero even Berahino practically every forward in the game
He captained defenders 8/32 times, that's one in four weeks and every time they got points; how ridiculous is that.
He want without suarez for 5 weeks brought him back in, this guy played with no logic, yet he is ranked 20th in the world.
My Argument: FPL is 90% luck 10% good decisionsOpen Controls
pretty much bang on
Open Controls- Open Controls
Think its more than 10% skill really, look at Jontys past season performances and try to tell me that there is no skill in consistently achieving such a high rank.
Open ControlsYeah if you want to get top 5,000
But if you want to get Top 500 it is 90% luck
I don't doubt Jonty is a great fpl manager, but this guy for one has never been proven as a manager
