Pure Comedy - FISO Elimination GW38 jeffmcgow is Eliminated. Stemania is our champion!
The Elimination is back
Sixty-nine players signed up before the deadline and we're ready to go.
It's the Pure Comedy Elimination. We'll begin with a room full of hopefuls with nothing but a stage and microphone as they perform their first audition, but at the end we'll have just one survivor - a true National Treasure!
As promised, this year the elimination is going to be a much more stripped down affair. We're going to dispense with all those complex group stages and calculations and just get on with the important stuff of eliminating the very worst performing players for each GW, you know the ones I mean - the slow ones at the back of the herd when the final GW scores are tallied.
The eliminated players will be those with the lowest GW headline points score. In the event of a tie the following will apply in order of precedence:
1. Score following deduction of transfer 'hits' in the Gameweek
2. Most goals scored in the Gameweek
3. Fewest goals conceded in the Gameweek
4. Captain points in the Gameweek
5. Assists made in the Gameweek
6. Clean sheet achieved in the Gameweek
We'll have six phases throughout the season:
The Audition
GW1 to GW6
A simple start, are you good enough to get a gig? For these weeks just the lowest scoring player will be eliminated each GW
Stand Up at the Comedy Club
GW7 to GW 18
Now it gets tougher. You need to learn your trade, but the audiences are tough, unforgiving and probably very drunk. Two players a gameweek will be eliminated.
Sell Out!
GW19 to 21
You've perfected your act, you have a loyal following of fans and a well earned reputation for being 'edgy', you tell the kind of jokes that could never be shown on TV. So it's time to sell out of course, you need that big money contract! However, wracked by guilt three players a week will fall by the wayside.
Prime Time
GW22 to 33
You're the next Alan Partridge, you'll do anything to keep yourself in the limelight, sitcoms panel shows, award ceremonies, the whole works. But you only need to slip up once and two players a GW will.
Saturday Night at the Palladium
GW34 to 37
We're down to our last half dozen superstars. Let's pretend the internet was never invented and you've only got two channels of analogue TV to watch - and neither of them have any football on. It's a battle to be top of the bill and in GW34 two people will be eliminated and then one elimination per week will occur.
GW38 The Royal Variety Performance
What could be classier? Our final two comic legends battle it out to be the official National Treasure with public affection royal honours and gushing obituaries to look forward to.
As I discovered last season with Rock and Roll, it's much easier to steal material from people who are better and more talented than myself. Therefore, we're going to be playing the game this time to a backdrop of classic comedy sketches and videos. They don't have to be anything to do with football, they just need to make people laugh. As always, I'd encourage, cajole, beg, players to post their own favourites.
Good Luck Everyone.

Re: Pure Comedy - FISO Elimination GW1
Quick clarification question, if I score lowest tied with another player, and neither of us took any transfer hits, the next tiebreaker says "most goals scored in the GW" - does this mean the one with most goals scored is eliminated or survives? (I know it sounds like an obvious one, but I've learned with FISO side-games the obvious answer isn't always right)

The player with most goals scored survives and so on.

Re: Pure Comedy - FISO Elimination GW1 Zebraman is Eliminated!
Ironfist blitzed his audition with a massively impressive 76pts. Other performers struggled to match his confident routine. With GW1 complete we have our first elimination and it is Zebraman who fell off the stage with a quite unfortunate 19pts - eleven jokes but no punchlines :
Zebraman is eliminated!
Ironfist's performance gives us an excellent excuse to run Fozzie Bear's opening jokes from the Muppets to start this game off.

Re: Pure Comedy - FISO Elimination GW1 Zebraman is Eliminated!
So much attention on GW1... I hope to avoid becoming the topic of a joke and be finished after one opening punch line...
(btw... I'm not even the top player for The Avenging Muppets this GW...)

Re: Pure Comedy - FISO Elimination GW2 Ashers is Eliminated!
Bluenosey won awards (almost) for his GW best 83 point score!
As for Ashers, 38pts was comic-tragedy only without the comic.
Ashers is eliminated!
He's one of our Moderators and we all appreciate the great job they do in maintaining standards on the forum.

hey Ashers, Divisionals only start in GW4 after the break
plenty of time to play your WC and have a brilliant season there
(it can't get worse than this )
your League One berth (or better) is waiting for you to come back

Re: Pure Comedy - FISO Elimination GW3 17days is Eliminated!
Top performer this week with the old Plastic Whistle routine was our resident Reprobate Mo Bot!
There were a few performances that were flatter than Kate Moss, but it was 17days and his Kick up the Arsenal team who were definitely at the bottom!
17days is eliminated!
What could be worse than a kick up the Arsenal?

Re: Pure Comedy - FISO Elimination GW3 17days is Eliminated!
I think I am definitely losing this week. I made 8 transfers (7 transfer hits) and forgot to click wildcard - as it turns out. And I scored 23 points. So I have -5 for the gameweek. Anyone did worse?

I have to admit, from the other thread I thought the 23 points was after the penalties were applied!

Was quite shocked to notice it just now, that wildcard is still available. And I always wondered how might this happen when I heard similar stories from other people - I guess one just shouldn't make transfers when at workDrBunker wrote:I have to admit, from the other thread I thought the 23 points was after the penalties were applied!

21 (-28) = -7
he's not in Elimination tho
not counting 2 teams at FFL bottom who're probably going for TV

Re: Pure Comedy - FISO Elimination GW4 Velcro is Eliminated!
Razorback stole the show with a brilliant all round 82pt performance even despite the Hazard(c) misfire..
At the other end of the table we had some joyously shambolic routines including the old classic 'where's my wildcard' trick!
However, nobody plumbed the depths quite like Velcro who only got the slightest giggle from Ibrahimovic on his way to 18pts.
Velcro is eliminated!
Amazingly, I couldn't find any velcro related jokes worth repeating. So this is a really old one, especially for Ralphbergs and anyone else who forgot to push the wildcard button!

That's right, they only count in a tie-break followed by goals scored etc. as outlined in the first post.

Gone far too soon to really enjoy.
But that was a hugely disappointing performance. Just not got my gameface on.
In honour of a really tepid performance I'll depart with this personal favourite.

it was late at nite, I thought you posted your result was 47, must have misread (you had indeed two 47 in a row previous gws)
...and I forgot there was more than one page!
anyway, you should be safe even with just 38
