| The Happy Europa League PL Semis--DL 5 May--Updated.. All edits ok for 2nd leg 15:45 - Apr 15 with 1899 views | Barsidepete |
The table: (1st & 2nd legs worth 3-1-0 plus scorers) ... Updated following 1st leg. EDITS ARE FINE! Change your predictions and/or 2 scorers per tie. This is meant to be fun. Go on then.
No tie-breaker. If two are level atop on points after the Europa final then we will play another week. That means EVERYONE remains in the hunt. 1 point per goal scorers' bonus.
Finalists: (outcomes, total outcomes, hidden points for goals--someone in July will explain the scoring system of this PL to you. If you win the Europa League, Assume You Did 
**Deleted the updated table. It's confusing now in context. See "Finals" post.
** Who got bonus points for goals? Both Concordman and Burnsieespana 1 pt for Gameiro. Mfb_cufc for Marlos. I can see the table spinning before the final afterLeg 2...
28 April
Villarreal v Liverpool 1-0
Shakhtar Donetsk v Sevilla 2-2
5 MAY
Liverpool v Villarreal
Sevilla v Shakhtar Donetsk
*** Pick Scores for Every game, not who advances to the final in Basel -- Leg 2: AET up to 120+ minutes. At 90+ no points if it requires 120-- if it's a draw then sobeit. No points for PK winner; no points for one of your scorers in the penalty kicks if it has to go into PKs. Edits are permitted, no worries. There is no tie-breaker.
*** Predict TWO scorers for each tie. That will be worth 1 point per goal.

**And pick two SCORERS --each tie, each leg-- which will net you 1 point per goal. It can be 2 on the same club or 1 per side. So you should have 4-8 goal scorers. 1 point per goal 
Many points to be had even for the final in Basel. No one is out of it.
Very cool that we had such a quality turnout for the 2016 Europa League. Well done you lot, and Good Luck You Final Six [Post edited 8 May 2016 5:04]

**I recommend merely predicting for the 28 April deadline first. Who is to say one of your scorers isn't injured or red-carded in the first leg.
NO TIE-BREAKER--not even pick percentage; that's merely for how the table is sorted.
If there is a TOP TWO on points, THE FA CUP will determine the winner. Then first-to-post will be it, but there'll be other wrinkles such as yellow cards, fouls, things like that... I don't believe it will come to that. I'm positive the Europa Final will sort everything.
Many points to be had even for the final in Basel. No one is out of it.

I'm in pain. I had a feeling a misinterpretation might happen. It's two scorers per tie, not four.
Plenty of time to edit, Burnsie, but if you don't, your First Leg will be:
Bruno & Coutinho
Eduardo & Gameiro
Side question--as I did my research--why are so many Brazilians playing for Shakhtar?
**more updates to follow. There are plenty of interesting tidbits about the Final Four. Some surprising things.
**It does not hurt that Liverpool and Sevilla are in the semifinals. What an incredible final in Basel that might be. The tv audience could rival the Champions League final. I honestly think so. [Post edited 22 Apr 2016 13:15]

Reminder that MFB, THRILLSEEKER, and DURHAM have yet to post. (Not including me. I'll post later today.)
Scores not outcomes. And TWO goal scorers per tie, per leg. -- Not four per tie. 2 per.
You can post only 28 April plus two players per tie this week or all four matches immediately. The table will be updated after Thursday's first legs. [Post edited 27 Apr 2016 14:17]

There is no tie-breaker. If two are level on points after the Final of the Europa League, next major comp is the final (again),... meaning 3, 4, 5 or 6 could still win it.
I wanted to keep it fun, my fellow boarders. Let us see who wins this goofy comp.
edit: GO LIVERPOOL!! YNWA.
Sadness, The Hillsborough 96.
Great grief. I watched it on the teley. Siiiiit! Go. Liverpool. Gerrin ther. [Post edited 28 Apr 2016 16:54]

You're all good.
We're not anal.
Your picks are all good, Thrillo.
This PL is meant to be fun. If you honestly had no clue how the results were going. I trust you.
I mean c'mon, none of us are cheaters. Your picks entering the second leg are fine. But leg 2?? Miss deadline? forget about it No points. DL is 20:00 5 MAY for Leg 2. No exceptions.
EDIT:
JUST SAW, YOU POSTED FOR LEG 2. I totally trusted you for LEG 1
No worries. Plenty of points for the FINAL afterwards. I will make it really annoying. A ton of points. If there is no winner then anyone and everyone will be involved in the so-called AET. Even a PL'er in 5th or 6th.
Why the heck not. [Post edited 28 Apr 2016 22:52]

Like I posted above, who the heck cares.
MFB is probably going to win another title.
He seems to win most of em... I would like to not finish wooden spoon, that's my goal. Updated table to follow after Leg 1. Liverpool has a punter's chance. We'll see.
Reds did ok. Not as well as I had hoped. | |

No problem. MFB and I debated if there would an interest in a Europa League PL.
There are some very heavy hitters who decided to participate, so there will definitely be another beginning early 2017.
....
Ok, let's see who gets points today. Plenty up for grabs.
The marquee game in the USA will be on Fox 1, LIVERPOOL v Villarreal.
Fox 2 will feature Sevilla v Shakhtar Donetsk. These games are getting the royal treatment on top networks. There is a lot of interest in these two. | |

Sorry. The correct spelling is Cédric Bakambu with Villarrael, the star Congolese forward.
The finals for our Final 6 will be posted once the numbers are crunched later.
If after the Final in Basel the top two are level on points, then everyone (1-6) will be involved in a tie-breaker week. But one step at a time.
No first to post or pick-percentage. | |
| |
| The Happy Europa League PL Semis--DL 5 May--Updated.. All edits ok for 2nd leg on 20:22 - May 5 with 1201 views | Barsidepete |
That's interesting. I predicted Liverpool 2-1 and Bruno and Bakambu as my scorers.
So there you go. Bruno OG for the Yellow Submarines and Reds up 1-0 | |
