Hey Fletch you obviously don't have to do this, but I was thinking maybe for the grand finals there shouldn't be a home ground advantage (and no I'm not just saying that cos I am not at home). I was thinking this cos most finals around the world are played at neutral stadiums, like the FA Cup is always played at Wembley and the Champions League and Europa League finals are played at different stadiums each year.
Just a thought I had, but happy to play with home ground advantage if you want to :)

Depends on the consensus of the rest of the crew. If they're happy, then I'm happy ;)

You obviously don't want to be behing 3 points in the race for the Wooden Spoon :P

[CrowsFan]

Yeah I'm happy to see what the others think. I had thought of this before seeing the results this morning so didn't know I would be playing off for the wooden spoon haha.
I guess in the A league they don't play on neutral ground for the final so I'm happy either way.

[Justin Bieber]

Since I'm away, why not :P. Honestly don't mind either way as it's just a little fun :P.

[Hawka]

i dont wana finsh last!!! time to trade!

[chrisuzz]

Itd be cool if odds could be developed for this ! :)

[Fletch74]

Ok, with what little consensus we had, there will be no Home Ground Advantage for GF week...

So here goes, the final results are.....

*Wait for it*

*Drum roll*

Grand Final
ZZ's Zanny Zebra's   36   Lardner's Lovable Losers   47

Benjy takes out the inaugural AEPL cup with Lescott scoring 15, and Adam (C) scoring 7 to defeat Zz who only had RVP of any note with 7 as his captain

3rd Place Playoff
Didhedive Dogba   19   Hello   49

HP takes out 3rd with a convincing defeat of Andrew with Downing scoring 11, Baines 8, Hart 8, and Lovenkrands off the bench with 9. Andrew's highest scorers were Albrighton and Johnson who could only manage 6 each.

5th Place Playoff
Q's Champions   45   Hilly's Heroics   22

Q managed some good scores from Elmohamady with 9, and Howard with 7 to defeat Hilly who's best scorer was Onuoha with 6.

Wooden Spoon Playoff
Hawka FC   30   The Matchbox Matadors   46

CF managed to avoid the wooden spoon thanks to Zamora scoring 12, and 3 others scoring 6, whilst Hawka could only manage an 8 off Diston, and 9 off Henderson.

So we all congratulate Benjy on the magnificent achievement of winning the Inaugural AEPL Season



Sorry, thats the best I can do... I can't edit the pic :(

Hawka takes out the Wooden spoon.... :P



Ok here is the final upload of the file, that I have been keeping in relation to this. It has all the results in the Archive section :)

Well looks like home ground advantage wouldn't have made a difference anyway. Glad to see I avoided the wooden spoon :) unlucky hawka, that time without internet really didn't help your team. Although it did help benjy who hasn't named a team for god knows how long and he wins the whole thing! Well done mate.

And thanks fletch for all the hard work you have done to keep this going even when half the competitors basically quit or went AWOL. We would not have been able to do this without you! I really hope we can do this again next season, but obviously will need better commitment from everyone involved ;)

[Fletch74]

No probs CF. It got a bit monotonous towrds the end, but it was enjoyable :)

[Justin Bieber]

Only if I had made the Grand Final :P. Highest score of the round a nice way to see out the long season :D.

As CF said, Thanks very much Fletch for running this throughout the season :). Even though half of us forgot half way through and especially near the end :P. Look forward to the next edition if it's running but we'll have to see for numbers first :P.

Also congratz to benjy for having a good enough team to win the league despite not doing much most of the time :P.

[chrisuzz]

Ahh devd!! :( None of my guys performed :'( Someone should PM on FTP telling him bout his win ?

[Hawka]

sorry guys does this mean i cant b in the nxt 1 :(

[CrowsFan]

Haha course you can hawka. Not like we had a waiting list of people who wanted to join! ;)

[benjy251090]

Hahaha, wow, how the fire truck did I manage to win?

I would like to thank my mum, and my dad, and hell, the whole organisation :P
