Board 8 > ~ EPL Suicide League - Sign ups - 1st week fixtures [soccer] ~

(+) Yeah! (+)

Yonex told me he was going to do this like last year but i have not seen anything up. If he shows up he's more than welcome to take this over, but we're getting pretty close now...

This is a suicide league for the English Premier League.

How This Suicide League Works:
- For each week of fixtures, you pick a team that you think is going to win. If that team wins, you're through to the next round. If that team loses, you are out.
- If that team draws, you are allowed 3 strikes, so on your third draw, you are eliminated.
- You can only pick a team ONCE, so choose wisely.
- You can change you're selection up until ONE HOUR before kick off of the first match of that weeks fixtures. Anything after that will not be counted.

The Teams
Arsenal
Aston Villa
Blackburn
Bolton
Chelsea
Everton
Fulham
Liverpool
Man City
Man Utd
Newcastle
Norwich
QPR
Stoke
Sunderland
Swansea
Tottenham
West Brom
Wigan
Wolves


Week 1 Fixtures

Blackburn v Wolves
Fulham v Aston Villa
Liverpool v Sunderland
QPR v Bolton
Tottenham v Everton
Wigan v Norwich
Newcastle v Arsenal
Stoke City v Chelsea
West Brom v Man Utd
Man City v Swansea


To sign up/join all i need you to do is to name a team that you think are going to win. Remember, you can only pick this team once, if you win, then you have to pick a different team the week after. How you go about this tactically is up to you.

Oh and my choice for now is:

Seems a good "bad" early team choice. Norwich are awful

You remember last season, right? <_<

There's literally no team I'm comfortable with taking here. Just gonna play very safe with Chelsea.

"Eet's game time..."

I refuse to pick Wigan out of principle after last year.

Thinking I'll let Blackburn knock me out on week one this time around.

--
And if you don't know, now you know.

Man City for me.


Which team got everyone knocked out last year?

--
I do because I can.....and because I'm bored.

If some of the games are postponed due to the rioting, how will you go about this btw?

i am not black turtle as i did not win the guru

Not Dave and Dr_Football both picked Liverpool in Yonex's topic
Yonex and masterplum picked Man City
Cobain picked Wigan

Just in case they don't come into this one before the weekend.

I'll pick Wigan.

--
Because why the **** not?

Outside some of the bigger teams, not confident in any winning. To be different, I pick Norwich

They have been promoted two years in a row, must be decent...

Oh wait, I read the rules wrong. Was reading the 3 strikes rule as you get 3 chances, not just 3 draws. So screw it

i'm awesome at this

And if you don't know, now you know.

I hate Blackburn and hope they get relegated and become financially bankrupt and just stop existing.

Results so far:

Blackburn - LOSS
QPR - LOSS
Fulham - DRAW
Aston Villa - DRAW
Liverpool - DRAW
Sunderland - DRAW
Wigan - DRAW
Norwich - DRAW
Wolves - WIN
Bolton - WIN

Bad result for Blackburn there, think we're really gonna struggle this season. Wigan just about scraped through.

Still don't know what to do with SpeedYoshi as he picked Everton? Any ideas? I was thinking as counting it as a draw, or possibly keeping his Everton pick until the rearranged match...

--

Put it down as a draw. It was a pretty ballsy pick as it was if it was't postponed and Everton have easy-ish games coming up (QPR, Blackburn, Aston Villa, Wigan). So it eliminates a team for him which may actually be a viable pick in the coming weeks.

--
Crucifying my Oracle average one match at a time

YES WIGAN DIDN'T LOSE!!!

--
NIO BUNNY - http://img.imgcake.com/nio/76ayvpngam.png

Also i reckon Everton draw is a sensible solution.

--
NIO BUNNY - http://img.imgcake.com/nio/76ayvpngam.png

I don't think you can really take a life off, because the game wasn't drawn, and that's the only way you can lose a life as listed in the rules. Personally I'd treat it as if the match was abandoned mid-game i.e. there was no result, and you'd just have to let it fly. He just happened to get lucky a pick a team that had nothing riding on this weekend, but did when the pick was made.

Not that I have a vested interest in that match or anything >_>

--
"Eet's game time..."

Yeah, the only real issue is that it was announced postponed a full 2 days prior to the match and was posted as such in here. Basically, it wasn't cancelled last minute. So it depends whether you consider that reasonable time to change or not.

But like I said, a draw is a reasonable outcome.
