Fantasy Football 2016

[Mr. Brightside]

Looks like I'm going to finish at 7-6 and safety in the Premier League. Not bad for someone whose team was autodrafted with having two kickers and IIRC two D/ST's.

[Sloop John B]

I'm going to go over .500 for the first time since week 5 after a dramatic 3 game win streak to finish the season. Think I might have snuck into the playoffs too but i'm not 100% certain on that. Regardless

[South Lanarkshire Jag]

I think if Eric Decker get's over 16 points, and fires placidcasual's team to a win, then I'm relegated.

I can't see it happening. I've been resigned to my fate for a couple of weeks now.

[Stewbo]

Just watching that Texans game just now, when did Fitzpatrick get amazing nd why has he not played like that the rest of the season?!

Cos he was playing the Titans. We are horrible, worse than Oakland horrible.

Look's like I'm staying up. Fucking ay!

ETA: I played Andrew Luck in 3 leagues this week and still might win all 3. Strange week.

[invergowrie arab]

I've gone from 4-3 to 4-9. I'm the fucking giants.

[Sloop John B]

I've gone from 4-3 to 4-9. I'm the fucking giants.

Sorry, I put a curse on you after losing by 0.15 to you. If I don't make the Playoffs, I'm blaming you

[SuperCaleyGoBallistic]

Relegated

[Paul Marnie]

Looks like my boys will get a rest next week

[Silvio]

Looks like my boys will get a rest next week

We should have a closed doors friendly.

[Paul Marnie]

Anyone needing WRs? I'm fairly stacked & need a startable RB.

Wayne, Johnson, Adams along with West are all on the block should anyone wanna make a deal

[Reluctant Hero]

So is that me promoted to the Premier League?

[Simplistic]

yeah, how does promotion work again? Received a bye in the playoffs. Proud of my boys no matter what they do from here. Have taken my franchise, moved them from Pilrig to Fairmilehead and seem them rocket!

[Stewbo]

Ok sorry it's taken a while, but here's a quick glance at the Pie & Bovril Fantasy League playoff picture across all three tiers.

Division 2:

It seems we've ended up with a super competitive league here for the most part with no team having fewer than 5 wins for the season as a whole. Sadly though that high level of competition has also meant that we've got our playoff teams already decided going in to the last week of the regular season.

We already have one conference champion from Division 2 South, so congrats to WellFan and his team Cruzin To Victories who fared better than their namesake in the 2014 season and mustered up an 8-5 record to take home the Southern conference title. The North conference is still up for grabs as early leader Fife Saint goes in needing a win over Mr Bairn in this weeks games while also hoping for a loss from Smurph's MD Twente Twente to top their half of the table and potentially take the number one seed for the playoffs.

So well done to WellFan, Smurph, Fife Saint and Mr Bairn for making the playoffs.

Only two of you can progress to division one though, so I guess this is where the real battle starts.

Division 1:

Already in to playoff season in the first division this week with Stevie Les' TMNBs taking on JStrummer and LeSean Of The Dead, and BishyTon's Hash (Ahh-ahhhh) Gordons going up against Sloop John B and Dey Der-Kuh-Derrrr in the first round this week. These matchups will decide the final two teams to be promoted to the Premier League next season, with Reluctant Hero and Simplistic's teams having already clinched promotion with their top two seedings. So congratulations to all of you guys and good luck in the playoffs.

Heading down the way we've got Super A and the Whales Vagina Chargers of San Di-ahgo and Big Mougie's Maryhill Minghawks who'll be playing 2nd division fantasy football next year thanks to a 4-9 record, the Gowrie Gaels' superior head to head record, and let's be honest a touch of bad luck. The Gaels narrowly managed to avoid relegation despite closing the season on a 6 game losing streak, Invergowrie Arab will need to get his boys in fighting shape for next year.

Premier League:

We'll get the applause out the way for our playoff contenders straight off the bat. Congratulations to Silvio, Paul Marnie, Gy Diamond, Mo Wonderboy, Stewbo (god that's such a dick move, state of this guy cheering for himself ) and Young Andy. This really is the all or nothing stage, no prizes for second place (or first place technically, but at least you get a title or whatever...). It's going to be close and a hard fought battle every step of the way so I wish you all luck, especially me....

Unfortunately we'll be saying goodbye to 4 of our comrades who'll be facing the super competitive first division teams in 2015 after finishing bottom of their conferences this season. So I would like to send my regards to Jagfox's Partick Beige Jackets, Super Caley and the Moby Vicks, PlacidCasual's Super Furries and the defending champion Lambie's Pigeon Feeds. Good luck for next season lads.

If you guys want to put together some votes for the following categories for your division and send them to me in a PM I'll run a wee award ceremony after next weekend. Voting will close a week on Thursday at kickoff (the 11th).

I'll edit this in the next couple of hours to include some nominees to help narrow it down a bit...

[Mo Wonderboy]

How I have made the playoffs is beyond me. My first 4 picks were Montee Ball, Doug Martin, Michael Crabtree and Ray Rice. In hindsight that was the possibly the worst selection in each round.

[Mr. Brightside]

^^^ coach of the year IMO.

Coach/GM of the Year

Player of the Year

Sleeper Hit of the Year

Bust of the Year

Matchup of the Year

Really excited to be in this playoff battle now, I do feel like Green Bay in the Playoffs last year though.

From our league I'd say...

Coach - Reluctant Hero

Player - Andy Luck, Demarco Murray or Antonio Brown

Sleeper Hit - Mike Evans

Bust - Adrian Peterson/ Toby Gerhart

Matchup of the Year - Gowrie Gaels 100.35 -100.2 They Took Our Schaubs.

[Stewbo]

Nominees updated for y'all, didnt want to go overboard so limited it to 6 max in each category

[Paul Marnie]

From the PL

Coach of the Year: Assuming I can't vote for myself here (10-3, scored over 100 pts 12/13 weeks) I have to say Silvio. 11-2 & crushed me in the H2H.

Player of the Year: The stats make me want to say Murray...but given the draft value I am gonna say Emmanuel Sanders.

Sleeper: Hopkins. Want to say Tate but I don't think his numbers would be as high had Megatron not got hurt, plus he has Stafford throwing him the ball. Hopkins did remarkable given his circumstances.

Bust: Zac Stacy; no debate. The only guy on the list imo who's poor performance was all on him; no injuries/no hitting children with a branch (allegedly)

Matchup: The squeaky bum matchup of Lambie & Strewbo. Honourable mention to Mo & I's matchup; not as close but the highest scoring matchup of the season.
