The gang does fantasy eggball (vol.11 - EPL Regs)
We're back for the 11th version of fantasy eggball.
Your annual reminder that when this fantasy league started, we'd just witnessed the mighty Eli Manning defeat Tom Brady for the second time to win the superbowl.
Last year we ran two tournaments, both of which were cowardly chopped:
$50 very expert pro action chopped by yippie and sixfour for $200 each
$20 derper draft which was chopped by sixfour and Feel wrath for $85, with PoseidonCubed winning $30 for 3rd place.
Suggest we run the same format again:
- $20 draft
- $50 action
- Max 12 runners in each
- 0.5 PPR
- Generally open to people that post in the EPL thread, but we've generally been quite receptive of newcomers if we're struggling to fill every spot, so if you're not a regular in that thread, post underneath that you're interested and it's quite likely there will be a spot for you.
Several people have already expressed interest in last year's thread:
$20 Derper
Joejoe
Yippie
PoseidonCubed

sixfour
andre (if needed)
LFC_USA
feel wrath
LuckyLuke01
$50 VE Pro
joejoe
Yippe
xXDeuce7Xx
sixfour
andre
LFC_USA
If you're one of these people, could you confirm that I've got you in the correct league.
If you're not listed here, but would like to play, please post below with which league you'd like to play.
The proposed date for the draft and auction is Sunday 10th September with the draft at 17:00 BST and the auction at 19:00 BST. If lots of people underneath can't do that, we can try to change it, but it's unlikely we'll find a date that works for everyone.

Well played everyone. Will do the money etc tomorrow!
Thanks for running the season - Happy New Year everyone!
Ggs guys. Pissed I wasn't paying enough attention to see cooper was out for Thursday night and play hall instead, but this **** happens when you have no idea what day it is between Christmas and new year!
Good game everyone, maybe next year I won't run like aids

Yep. I’m in Australia and did the same thing in my other $$ league - actually totally forgot what day it was and missed the entire first tranche of games
Okie dokie, so here's the final results:
$20 derper - 11 runners for a total prizepool $220
COWARDLY CHOP between feel wrath and myself for $93.50 each (that's 60% for first plus 25% for second divided by two).
McCaffreycan American comes in third for $33 (15%). Which "Luke" is this?
$50 Auction - 7 runners for a total prizepool of $350
Winner: Scotland for $262.5 (75%)
2nd: Rubba Chub Chub for £87.5 (25%)
If you've cashed, could you do the following please:
DM me with your paypal address and your preferred currency. At the moment, most of the money is in £££ but there's a bit in $$$. I'm aware that most participants are British so would rather £££ to avoid fees. However, if I can't square the circle, I'll divide up the USD as fairly as possible.
Great eggballing everyone!
GG all was fun!
Still waiting for 2 more DMs...
Just waiting on feel wrath now. Have DM'd him

congrats to all the winners! this year sucked SO bad for me. but i will be back bigger and better for next year!
also, can we get enough players in Derpa not to have a bot next year, please? my pride still hasn't recovered since I lost to it.
Everyone should have their cash now.
Well played everyone! Look forward to more egging next year
Are we in again for 2024?
yeah. it auto-added me to last years one.
also if you draft the 50. I might be in.
also also. we need no bots this year! come on people!
also. i will riot and kill if I get the 12th pick again.
In for both buyins if it runs again
I'll go again, although it looks like when we'd normally draft is right when we play Watford
I can’t even remember what site we play on? Is it Yahoo?
Yahoo, yep
In for both, need to defend my Eggball Auction title 😉
Thanks for bumping. Have been away on vacation this week. Am back in front of a computer on Monday so will set up a thread then.
Happy to be flexible with draft times, but as always, we'll have to go with the majority. We've had people on both US coasts, all over Europe, and Australia. There won't be a time that suits everyone.
That being said, I'll include it as an option on the EoI.
