Many congratulations to Charlie Kerslake (@CHARLIEKERSLAKE) who won the FPL Charity League 2014/15!
After a very competitive and unpredictable Fantasy Premier League (FPL) season 2014/15, the FPL Charity League 2014/15 was no different, with FPL managers toing and froing for that vital number one position throughout the season.
Of the 600 FPL Charity League participants, in the end it came down to two players, Charlie Kerslake and Mark Kazan, who both battled it out for the chance to be crowned ‘FPL Charity League Champion 2014/15’ and win a special prize for themselves, as well as a cash prize for their chosen charity.
The FPL Charity League final top 20. The top 13 managers finished in the overall worlds top 1000 rankings.
Charlie and Mark went into the final Gameweek of season (GW38) with a healthy lead over the chasing pack with Charlie’s team, yoboyscoins, sitting in 2nd place and only 7pts adrift of Mark Kazan’s team, MKFC.
Mark made two transfers GW38 at a cost of -4pts, bringing in the in-form and potentially points explosive, Yannick Bolasie, who had a ‘nice’ home fixture to Swnasea. Eden Hazard, who was a doubt to play GW38 due to having wisdom tooth surgery, made way for the exciting French-born Congolese ‘out of position’ midfielder. Mark’s other transfer was to oust the injured Pantilimon and to bring in the in-form Leicester City stopper, Kasper Schmeichel.
Charlie, on the other hand, decided not to take a -4pt hit. He did though, like Mark, sell the doubtful to play Eden Hazard. In came Yaya Toure who was fresh off the back of 2 goals and 3 bonus points GW37. Despite their differential transfers, it was however, no surprise to see that both managers had the captain armband on the FPL Gold Man City striker, Sergio Aguero.
In the end the Charlie ran out a clear comfortable winner with an excellent GW38 rank and total score of 58pts, compared to Mark’s average score of 40 (-4). What won it for Charlie was a solid 10pt haul from Cazorla, a goal from Cambiasso, and a clean sheet from Krul, versus blanks from Mark’s Ozil, Giroud, and a failed clean sheet from his newly transferred in keeper, Schmeichel.
So once again many congratulations to the FPL Charity League 2014/15 champion, Charlie Kerslake!
It’s also worth noting that Charlie finished 143rd overall in the world! Amazing stuff – well done!
