MacRumors Fantasy Football League 2009/10

[Jaffa Cake]

Everyone's are getting very excited about tonight's matches, what with the Manchester City vs Spurs match essentially deciding who'll get fourth place.

However, Sky and the national press have criminally neglected to give the MacRumors Fantasy Cup the coverage it deserves, opting instead to devote their coverage to an Italian tit in a scarf. Shocking.

As we go into the last couple of matches of the Gameweek, here are how our semi-finalists are doing...

Brainerd FC 55 : 42 Swiftaw Latics
Cleveland F.C. 46 : 71 ffmiphone.com

It's still all to play for.

267 Points. That's Brainerd FC's tally for the month of April, more than any other team – and as a result it'll come as no surprise that the behooped colossus' gaffer pivo6 has won himself April's Manager of the Month award.

​

With a commanding lead at the top of the League as we enter the final week, it looks unlikely that anyone's going to catch Minnesota's finest – and he has the opportunity to do the double as he's made it into the final of the MacRumors Fantasy Cup, where his boys will take on andrewstephenso's ffmiphone.com in the showpiece match at Wembley.

​

That's Wembley as in Vale Farm, by the way – home of Combined Counties League outfit Wembley FC.

Good luck to our finalists – may the best team win!

Congratulations to Brainerd FC on the title. If the table is final, it looks like Buchaneers have secured mid-table mediocrity; thrashing Cleveland FC by 2 points over the season.

Cheers,
OW

Congratulations to Brainerd FC on the title.

Indeed, congratulations to pivo6 and his behooped behemoths!

​

Brainerd FC racked up a grand total of 2,312 points to clinch this year's title, 125 clear of their closest rivals. A fine achievement, as I'm sure we can all agree, and no surprise given pivo6's strong showing in the Manager of the Month awards.

For posterity, here's the final table...

​

But of course, it's not just the League title we've been battling it out for – the inaugural MacRumors Fantasy Cup was also up for grabs. pivo6 had the opportunity to secure a famous League and Cup double, but his efforts to do so were thwarted by andrewstephenso's ffmiphone.com who clinched the cup in a thrilling 94-78 point victory. There'll be dancing on the streets of Ffmiphone tonight, of that you can be sure.

​

Congratulations, andrewstephenso.

And indeed, well done and thanks to all the managers who took part in this year's competitions. Enjoy the summer, perfect your pre-season training routines and we'll reconvene in time for the start of the 2010-11 campaign.

I would like to offer congratulations to ffmiphone for their Cup victory. Although we are disappointed in not winning the double, I'm still proud of the lads for winning the league.

Clearly, with the title already won a number of your boys already had one eye on the beach. Shameful.

Hi guys, I've been celebrating and coding so much I missed this post

Looking forward to next season already

Congrats to pivo6 on winning the league!

Anyone interested in getting a game of Fantasy Football going for the 2010/11 season?

We can make it interesting by putting a few quid on it, say €5 a man - winner takes all?

A new Irish website http://www.ubecha.com allows you to set up cash games and auto cash's out to the winner at the end of the season so there'll be no messing around.

If there's enough interest here I'll set one up...?
