All three podium spots were decided in the last week. PaulE won his last match to retain 1st place and win the gold medal, illiniman14 was held to a draw and slipped off the podium from 2nd to 4th as Howie72 and ozzz2002 both won to give us a dead-heat for 2nd place. The silver was won by Howie72 on goal difference! As testament to closeness of this year's comp - no records were set for most or fewest wins/defeats/goals for the season (see table below with text colour brown). This has to be because Leicester City won their first-ever FAPL title and the Big Four failed to finish in the first two spots. It was a memorable season, a season of what seemed like weekly upsets. Leicester City became the 24th different team to be crowned champions of England. The 23rd team was Nottingham Forest almost 40 years ago, when they won their first title in 1978 (see post below this one for a compete list all the way back to the first champions in 1889, for season 1888-89).
The three medallists scored more pts in the 2nd half of the season than the first half (see table at right) .. except for ozzz2002 (he was our leader at the half-way mark): 10 of the 18 runners scored more points in the second half than the first, seven scored fewer in the second half and dg_dave was the only player to score exactly the same number of pts in each half. The biggest changes first half vs. second half were gtho4 at +7 points and FussBudget at -14 pts. We had a total of nine different leaders during the season, which is exactly half the field and probably an FT record for any tipping comp. Howie72 and PaulE were leaders for 9 weeks, followed by ozzz2002 and illiniman14 for 8 weeks. The longest consecutive streak as leader was 5 weeks each, by paper_aero and illiniman14.

PaulE finished the season with a 12-game undefeated streak and wwe84 was undefeated in eight. PaulE fell two short of the all-time FT-PL record of 14 set by Sypher ten years ago in the 2005-06 comp. George95 finished the season win-less in six .. dg_dave and Sypher were win-less in four. The defending titleholder was N-Bomb. Dizart was last year's silver medallist (illiniman14 won bronze). None of them made this year's podium. The three relegation spots at the bottom of the table will still play next year if no-one outside this year's field signs in .. which is a distinct possibility. PaulE becomes the 3rd person to win this comp twice (his first was in 2007). The other two players are gtho4 with back-to-back wins in 2008 & 2009 and illiniman14 in 2012 & 2014. That's it for another season; the end of the 13th FT-PL comp. Congratulations to the three medallists .. and commiserations to the rest of us! We'll see most of the elite FAPL players next month in the Euro 2016 comp.

gtho4 Administrator Registered: Sun Dec 26 1999 Posts: 54484 Loc: Sydney oz downunder	Leicester City were the 24th team to be crowned champions of England (aka their first-ever title). The 23rd team was Nottingham Forest almost 40 years ago. This win by Leicester was a breath of fresh air. They're the 5th team to achieve that feat (first-ever title) in the last 50 odd years, and the 2nd team (the other is Blackburn Rovers) outside the Big Four to win the FAPL since it began in season 1992-93, when the First Division left the Football League en masse to form the FAPL. There have been 117 ttiles awarded since the first one some 128 years ago in 1889 (season 1888-89): first last total 2016 1 Leicester City 1978 1 Nottingham Forest 1972 1975 2 Derby County 1969 1992 3 Leeds United 1962 1 Ipswich Town 1955 2015 5 Chelsea 1954 1959 3 Wolverhampton Wanderers 1951 1961 2 Tottenham Hotspur 1949 1950 2 Portsmouth 1937 2014 4 Manchester City 1931 2004 13 Arsenal 1924 1926 3 Huddersfield Town 1921 1960 2 Burnley 1920 1 West Bromwich Albion 1912 1995 3 Blackburn Rovers 1908 2013 20 Manchester United 1905 1927 4 Newcastle United 1903 1930 4 Sheffield Wednesday 1901 1990 18 Liverpool 1898 1 Sheffield United 1894 1981 7 Aston Villa 1892 1936 6 Sunderland 1891 1987 9 Everton 1889 1890 2 Preston North End 117 o Huddersfield Town were the first to win three back-to-back titles. o Preston North End and Huddersfield Town are the only (former) champions of England who have never played in the FAPL. o Ipswich Town were champions in their first-ever season in the First Division. o after they won their first-ever title, Manchester City were relegated in 1938 as defending champions; the only champions to achieve this feat .. and they scored more goals than any other team, and finished the season with a +ve GD (another two unique feats for a relegated team). o Aston Villa were a foundation member of the FAPL in 1992. Their relegation to the FLC leaves just six ever-present FAPL clubs: Arsenal, Chelsea, Everton, Liverpool, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur (aka the Big Four plus Everton & Spurs).

dg_dave Champion Poster Registered: Sun Oct 05 2003 Posts: 24575 Loc: near Stafford, Virginia USA	I can't be upset about my performance other than placing...I did end up in second place for fewest goals allowed all season, and one of only six under 150, and only one of two under 145 (other than the leader at 145). Also, do I get the Consistency Award?
