In the event of a drawn match please refer to the rules.

Here are the final fixtures of the season (seeds in brackets), good luck!...

 

RULES

Scoring
Any player scores = 1 goal added to your match total

Every second assist from the defence and midfield = 1 goal added to your total score, ie
2 assists from the defence and midfield = 1 goal added to your total score
4 assists from the defence and midfield = 2 goals added to your total score
6 or more assists from the defence and midfield = 3 goals added to your total score
(Only assists from Defenders and Midfielders will count, except for the Captain)

Keeper concedes
0 - 1 goal = 0 goals added to the opponents total score
2 - 3 goals = 1 goal added to the opponents total score
4 or more = 2 goals added to the opponents total score
If the Keeper you select does not start in the match, it is an automatic goal added to the opponent's total score

Back Four/Five concede
0 - 2 goals = 0 goals added to the opponents total score
3 - 5 goals = 1 goal added to the opponents total score
6 - 8 goals = 2 goals added to the opponents total score
9 or more goals = 3 goals added to the opponents total score
Every Defender that you select that does not start will mean an automatic 3 goals to your defence's collective total.

Every time a player receives a red card that is a goal added to the opponent's score.

Captain
You can select one player as your team's Captain, the scoring is as follows...
DEFENDER...Every goal and assist will be doubled.
MIDFIELDER...Every assist will be doubled.
FORWARD...Every assist will count.

Formations
The only formations allowed will be 5-4-1, 5-3-2, 5-2-3, 4-5-1, 4-4-2, 4-3-3.

I will take all information for scorers and assists from the BBC website.

Drawn Match
In the event of a tied match, an "extra time" winner will be the team whose Captain scored the most points. If there is still no winner then the "penalties" winner will be the lower number seeded team ie 1 being the lowest etc.

 

This is your chance to tinker with your starting line up if you wish and don't forget to select one of your players as Captain...The deadline for team sheets to be posted is noon on Sunday 21st of May. If you do not wish to change your team I will copy it from last week.

 

If you need reminding of your squad, let me know and I will post it here.

 

Go Sotonsaint!

It's a pleasure SIS, good luck in the final, will you win on pens again?....

 

good enough for me!

 

Same side please SA but coutinho as captain please..

Good luck SiS , maybe next year we won't get cheated out of a place in the "real" playoffs

 

SA

Unchanged for me, Sanchez as capt

 

Thanks for doing this all season, SA.

I don't think I'm likely to win this by making staid decisions. Deeney isn't playing lately, Defoe is on the beach. It's time to roll the dice. Save me, JWP!

GK:

De Gea, Man U. £5.5

DEF:

Alderweireld, Spurs. £6.5
Cahill, Chelsea. £6.0
Keane, Burnley. £5.0
Pieters, Stoke: £4.5

MID:

Sterling, Man City. £8.0
Sanchez, Arsenal. £11.0
King, Bournemouth. £5.5
Firmino, Liverpool: £8.5 (C)
Ward-Prowse, Saints. £5.5

FW:

Lukaku, Everton. £9.0

Bench:

Foster, WBA. £4.5
Gibson, Middlesbrough: £4.5
Defoe, Sunderland. £7.0
Deeney, Watford. £7.0

 

Cheers Schad, good luck!..

 

I just realised, you can't win on pens!...

 

I have a feeling Benteke and Lukaku will score 4 each

I probably got stomped, but if I lose because Chelsea gave John Terry a run out, I'm going to write a very pointed letter to...someone. A congressman? Maybe the editor of some smalltown paper. Haven't really thought it out yet.

 

Well I've booked the open top bus! (but with a refundable deposit because I have been known to mis-calculate!) Toby with a late winner?

 

If my math is correct (spoiler: it's never correct), I might have nicked this 8-7 on Toby's meaningless 87th minute goal, plus the bit where neither of our defenses actually played. If that's the case, making Firmino my captain saved me...had I stuck with Sanchez as usual, I'd have lost on penalties.

 

7-6 by my calculations...Ive double checked, so well done Schad!

 

You're right, 7-6...I accidentally added an extra goal apiece for our defensive frailties.

Thank you, JWP: you might not have actually done anything to help me win, but I feel like your leadership was a decisive factor in this one.
