Spofi EPL Pool 08-09 Week 8 Update: Link to week 7 update included. Only top 10 on the table since Spofi still hates the length of the post.

Spofi EPL pool 08-09 Week 6 update.: Bill finally has the team he must have thought he had. Yukon breaks into the top 10. Squealy extends his lead.

Spofi EPL Pool 08-09 Week 4 Update: As Squealy might say, natural order is restored. Meanwhile, billsaysthis wonders who is having a worst start - Tottenham, Newcastle or BillSaysThisScores.

Spofi EPL pool 08-09: Week 4 update....

posted by gspm to fantasy sports at 11:24 AM on September 16 - 9 comments

What the heck is the site I am thinking of?: I noticed a few extra columns in the ESPN MLB standings (DIV? WC? POFF?) and surmised, correctly, that they were showing the probability of a team winning the division, wildcard or making the playoffs in any manner. It is prompting me to ask the SpoFi collective about a site that presented such probabilities graphically.

EPL pool folks - I am okay though more or less threw my hands up because the new spofi code made the old tried and true, oiled to perfection, EPL update thread creation a chore.

I have been keeping track of the info though, so it is not lost to the ether. I just missed one week, one became two and then my PhD defence was scheduled and things fall by the wayside.

Spofi EPL pool 08-09 Week 6 update.

Well, the rest of the tables now violate a 4,000 character limit applied to comments. So, they're again published offsite.

Dunno why there are big spaces after the titles. But there are three table chunks.

Yep, that was it. Thanks!

Spofi EPL pool 08-09

Well, there's a bug. In preview, the URLs were all weird (sportsfilter.com added before all of them), and they were in black and underlined. And the list at the bottom wasn't smeared on a single line. Other than preview not giving an accurate preview, I guess it works.

Welcome to the New Server

bug or feature? it seems like random(?) hyperlinks are underlined.

Ah ha! The 4000 character limit can still permit a smaller table, such as the exclusive TOP 10. I'm developing a solution to put the full table on my own website (excel makes the html, I just need a place to plop it).

Spofi EPL pool 08-09

Well, so far I've tried a few things (google docs, excel export to mht or htm) and haven't hit upon a great solution.

But I should figure out what can be done in 4000 characters.

The not quite satisfactory google docs version has the retro looking bright blue underlined hyperlinks.

Hmmm, can't do a table since there is now a 4000 character limit on the comments. I'll have to come up with something else.

Spofi EPL pool preseason update

Well, barbarajones and the newly appeared ibanez666 were booted for not saying hello.

The season is about to kick off and I know I've selected a horrible team - I only have two players that Squealy has.

The Friendly Frozen Confines

The thing about competing with college football is that they don't put the best games on New Year's Day anymore, do they? It's a tradition, but the BCS has mucked that up a bit.

EPL Fantasy 08-09 Open for business

Hmm. Seems like last year's (and the year before's) league is still in there is last year's participants chose to RENEW their participation. I guess I am the admin from two years ago because I have the power to suspend those that are already in the league The only person in the new league that hasn't already renewed their spot in the old league is BoKnows. The code for brand new entrants (who cannot renew a spot) to join Spofi EPL Fantasy (classic edition) is 88297-23343. You know, to make things unnecessarily complicated.
