The Sponsorship table has now been completed for MSWL1. So you can all see how well you (or not) you did! If anyone thinks they should have got their money but are not liseted as doing so then let me know. Forest just claimed their cash with a final session league shut out against Sheffield so congrats to them. Lewes also secured a third away league shut out against Champions Tranmere. Sadly they needed 4 so it was not quite enough, but an impressive end to the season at least.

Please find a list of each team and how much additional awards money earned this season. This does not include prediction league as I don't know if that's manual or automated. If a team had more than one award it's listed in the parentheses next to their name so you can check my workings, apologies if there's an error

Please help out Colin if you are able to as a caretaker...

John: I think you are advocating for the "B1G Ten Basketball" rule of giving the title to the team that had the best winning percentage...well...I went to Illinois, so... And plus, no one ever lets the commish win anything!  

Roy: Thank you.  And yes, John and your prediction league results are pretty amazing.  Nice work gentlemen.  

Guys, as you know I run Sanctuary League and our season has just kicked off but one of the lads has had to pull out for a while. I'm not sure for how long but I suspect he will out for the season. So I am looking a volunteer to caretake his team until his return. As we have just started it would be over the close season here at United but if, as suspected, he won't be back before the end of the season I would be looking for someone to be in a position to caretake until June.

If you can help me out that would be great and you can either message me here or email scootieATe-mile.co.uk

Thanks just for reading this, Colin

Congratulations to Al for winning the league - persistance pays off

Kudos to John though - he will have to have predicted his own Port Vale to win in each round and they haven't had the best season.

Percentage of correct results - this is something that is being done over in SESL (along with not having to predict your own team winning) but it takes a lot of work to run whereas here in MSWL Utd it's simpler - and let's face it -if you've put your orders in it doesn't take long to put a set of predictions in as well.

If we've learned anything from COVID, it's that you have to do prediction league winners based on percentage or points per game and not overall wins!

I feel like Phil is complimenting me, but in a backhanded slap across the face way!  

And its not just the talented Mr. Holden right behind us.  It is also Mr. Rolsten who also decided to give us a free session's head start.

We don't normally win anything in United, so it will likely be  a race between John, Roy, Stewart, Vick, Jeff, and Hazel.

Flash Poll...do you like Suited Phil or Cowboy Phil?

Excellent Prediction League battle going on as we wrap us this season.  Al Sellers has a slim lead over John Holden, as seven manager are within two points of the top spot.  Interesting that Mr. Holden sat out a session but still is pressing Al for the title...

Phil

You can never have too many keepers.

I make it a 0.11% chance of that happening - pretty high for me.

Over in SESL I did once get a shot whilst stalling. The shot chance said 0% but my OFF was a smidge more than Colin's DUM's GP. Turned out to be a 1 in 10,000 chance. Just a pity we didn't score.

Has there ever been a season where there haven't been any keepers in the Auctions?

We didn't get a single one in the 8 auctions this season.

With 8 players available in each one that's 64 players with a 10% chance each of being a keeper

Last season there were 3.

Just noticing that the PL for this week that I posted Sunday night are not showing up on the site.  Probably user error, but I will get that re-posted during lunch.  Sorry for the delay!

Phil

Funny you should say that, because your photo is a dead ringer for a local lawyer!

Is Phil a corporate lawyer or an estate agent? Whichever he looks smart I will give him that ????

Expect MSWL UNITED 1 Prediction League selections to go up in about 8 hours following this post.  I try to hit these on Saturday or early Sunday, but Micki had a softball tournament yesterday and there's some household chores to tackly this afternoon and evening.  I appreciate your patience!

Head To Head Meetings
• Crewe Alexandra FC and Chesterfield FC have met 32 times with 1 of those occurring in the AP Cup.
• Chesterfield FC have won 20, lost 3 and drawn 9 of 32 matches against Crewe Alexandra FC.
• Crewe Alexandra FC has a 22 game winless streak in this fixture, having lost their last 5 in a row.

Does Bill have the lads ready to end the streak today?

Watford sends 440k

While Vick's right the auction doesn't look that great, it's 109th out of the 273 auctions in Olmec history in average auction price by minimum bid.

The worst of all time, Season 13 Auction 8, also had the second-lowest amount of money spent on it:

Season 18 auction 7 takes the cake as the auction with the lowest amount of money spent though, as three of the five players went for the minimum bid and the other two went for two dollars over the minimum bid - a record which will be very hard to beat!

This sessions auction does not look particulary mouth watering. Three under par age 1 players who will not be setting th world alight are little more than two season CP fodder buys, whilst the apprentice is a renowned delinquent who missed his training sessions as a schoolboy after being detained for drink driving in his bubble car. The age 3 FW has some potential but is likely to be a one season wonder, whilst the level 12 midfielder is maybe the one player worth paying a little over the odds for. Even then he is perhaps no more than an average journeyman. A Nicky Butt/Sammy Lee type of player. Manager Hall  has confirmed his team won't be making any bids for this dross. QPR and PNE will be particularly dissappointed not to have anyone to spend their giant warchests on.

No, it wasn't just you Paul, I saw an anomaly too.  I believe I have corrected it back to the proper matches for selection/review.

Nice tribute by Dave Dohm.

Rest in peace Dave Dowson. We'll remember you.

I am trully saddened to hear of Dave's passing. Dave was a great player in the league and showed enthusiasm for the MSWL and other football leagues. At one point he tried to recruit me into some other leagues, but I declined due to time constraints. When I first joined the MSWL I quickly employed the hardness strategy that Dave thouroghly enjoyed using. It was soon after that I was compared to "Dr. Death" and it was fun to try and challenge Dave for the hoodlum award in those early years. I quickly learned that it was hard (pun intended) to win consistently playing that style, but it was fun. I am all for naming the "hoodlum" award after Dave Dowson.  

My thoughts and prayers are with Dave's family. I know he will look down on the MSWL this weekend and smile the next time someone gripes about the hardness strategy being deployed against them.

Be safe everyone!

Last session was a bit of a struggle for the side and saw some mised fortunes. The worst of it being knocked out of the FA cup by Lewes. Games against members of the unholy trinity are never easy and Lewes in particular can never be underestimated. Lewes have a formidable Sweeper/Keeper formation and with keeper Torres ramped up to 23, getting anything past him was not going to be easy, even with a bountiful 52 attacks. Our own aged keeper was slightly easier to score against alas. Still the team came back from this demoralising setback to knock Sheffield United out of the running for the Alan Parr Cup. The cup efforts also weakend our sides put out in the league games and one point from two games firmly establises us for mid table obscurity again, especially with two hard away games coming up. On the positive side young Docherty's performances in goal seem to be improving since his move from Lewes and he looks set to become a star performer in years to come.

It's for golden boot not team total.

Sorry Alon

Hi Steve

Thanks for all the work .

I think I found a tiny mistake.

Even thoiugh Lewes has the best Goal difference the award for most goals scored should go to Tranmere who scored 33 as opposed to Lewes 32.

so 25K from Lewes to Tranmere if I am correct?

As in MSWL2, I'm inaugurating a new cup competition. It's called the Olmec Cup. You win it by being knocked out of any other cup competition, and by suffering a worse reversal - against the odds - than any other team.

I'll start things off.

AP Cup. Carlisle United v Bristol City. 

Both teams use 0 hardness. No penalties, so 0-0.

Carlisle generate 1 attack against a GK/SW pairing of 14/13. They score! So, 1-0.

Bristol generate 17 attacks against a GK/SW pairing of 12/12. The SW stops 11 attacks. 0 are off target. The GK saves 6. So, 1-0.

Carlisle go to 7 points in the AP Cup table. Bristol stick on 3 and go out of the AP Cup thanks to Olmec. (A win for Bristol would have reversed those fates.)

Can anyone do 'better'?

The base table, which I think may be the most accurate record of which teams Olmec loves, likes and hates is based on additional points won and lost on what should have happened in each game. The adjusted version of the table adds and subtracts a few additional points, based on injuries, penalties, red cards, home cup draws and drawing non-league teams.

It's interesting to note that the 3 teams with the best T11  are in the bottom 7 of the Olmec table. So clearly Olmec is not fond of teams that are just too good!

I thought it might be interesting to have a little look at the amount of gpp's that were played against other teams in the top flight and then relate the amount used  for and against to the actual league position. This is just one factor of many but it's interesting to compare how teams actually did in relation to gpp's used in the league.

You can see that the biggest underperformers based on gpp's used and agains were QPR who should have been top of the table but ended up bottom, but to be fair they used their 20 gpp's in the last few matches at which point they were already rooted to the bottom of the table. Plymouth and Dorchester were the next biggest underperformers, followed by Carlisle, whilst everyone else overperformed. Tranmere show the biggest overperformance by 6 places with Lewes on 4 and Preston and Cardiff on 3 places. From this it's possible to conclude that had Tranmere spent as many gpp's in the league as Lewes then the league title would most likely have been theirs! Dorchester's use of gpp's did swing a few games their way including a good early away win at QPR, but the trickle approach of using 2-3 gpp's in games overall failed them. Plymouth can also feel agrieved about using 12 gpp's but only garnering 1 drawn point in those games. Carlisle also used a lot of gpp's and did not get a good return for their use. In their early game against Tranmere where they used 5 gpp's they were unlucky, but other times the use was wasted. Still they stayed up so overall the strategy ultimately paid off for them. Weston can (and do) feel aggrieved at having 19 points of gpp's played against them. The highest in the league! Only Lewes and Tranmere (the league leaders) came close to this number (15 and 12 respectively) played against them. Dorchester suffered the fewest gpp's used against them, despite the amounts they were piling on everyone else. Even so they might have had more than Brentford as only Lewes and Preston were not afraid to use gpp's against them and risk the wrath of Olmec.
