Gameweek 37 is always a big week with extra games and lots to be decided.
We have the results of the first legs of the Playoffs and the Champions League Qualifiers, we have the scores at the halfway-point of the Runners-Up Tournament, we have knockouts in the IML Quallies and very importantly, we know who’s going to be in the Finals for the Wooden Spoon, the Champion of Champions, PLUS the conclusion of a very underrated tournament – The One Cup!
But top of the report tonight, we can announce the Winner of the first-ever Belyea Memorial Trophy…

The Final
Sporting Wicker Park -v- Hung Like a Bony
Unfortunately defending champions Housewives Favourite could not return to defend their title in the Final, but there are two very worthy contenders vying to take the acclaim in the 2024 Final.
Champions League Champions Sprorting Wicker Park maybe the hottest knockout tourney team in the BFFA at the moment. They went all the way to lift the trophy in December, they made the Semis of the BFFA Cup, and now they are in for one more one-off one-match clash for a bonus $50.
They will be facing the team with the best league record in the BFFA. Hung Like a Bony won more league matches than anyone else, 24 in total, and have outscored everyone across the season. They are the marathon runners of the league, the stalwarts, the elite. And they’ve had a bit of luck in the KO’s themselves – Runners-up in the Cup, Semi-Finalists in the CL – where they lost to…SWP.
This Final promises to be one for the ages.
Le Tournoi de la Cuillère en Bois
Alisson Wonderland -v- Boudi’s Crew
Every season needs an outright loser, right? The teams finishing the season in 9th and 10th were entered into the Wooden Spoon pool. The worst two scores this week got sent down here to play in a GW38 head-to-head, where the loser gets the Last Place Trophy.
Alisson Wonderland finished 9th in the Championship and scored the worst of all this week. They will be playing Boudi’s Crew, the team with the least league wins this season. Boudi had enough points to escape the Sacko Final at the 90th minute of the final game of the week, but Lewis Hall’s 92nd-minute screamer cost Wan-Bissaka a point and dropped Boudi right in it. Having a worse league record than Barons (tied 2nd-worst with 38 points), Boudi will be playing in the most undesirable match of the season.

End-of-Season Friendlies
The Best-ish Team of the Season
Finally, the Best-ish tournament will continue right until the end of Gameweek 38.
The team that finishes top of the leaderboard will win the prize money and have their names written down in history (by which we mean – on the Teams page here). Shiny.
The Big One
Clichy’s Cleansheets, 2023/24
It’s the BFFA Big One. The tried and tested (albeit inferior) traditional form of English Fantasy Football that requires each manager to build a team with a budget of £150,000,000. These teams must have no more than three players from any PL club, excessive transfers are penalised by point deductions, and everyone gets a Haaland (if they want one).
Every team also gets to pick a Captain and there are bonus chips to play across the season – two Wildcards, a Bench Boost, a Free Hit and Triple Captain points. This is a classic-style fantasy league, open to all BFFA managers past and present.
This week’s top scorers:
Kinder Mbuemo – 157 Fantasy Points
Alleviate the Tedium – 145 FPts
You Beto Believe It – 142 FPts
Prestige Worldwide – 139 FPts
Lingardium Weviosa – 137 FPts
On top of hosting a league for the BFFA faithful, we are also involving some unsuspecting stars of the game in our classic league. Last week we had last season’s FPL Champion, Ali Jahangirov with FPLGunz. This week, before the final wrap-up, we present a manager that some pitch as the greatest in the world. In ten seasons he has never finished outside the top 50k. He had six straight top 2k’s, including 3x three-figure placements and a top finish of #95 (2018/19). Ladies and Gentlemen: Fábio Borges.
This season Fábio is unusually on the wrong side of the 10,000 mark. His side, Clichy’s Cleansheets, were outside of the top 1,000,000 in Gameweek 14, but have shot up the ladder at a rapid rate, breaking into the top 100k nine gameweeks later and joined the top 50k in GW28. Such pedigree is nothing short of outstanding, and they currently rank #2 in our league. Our league leaders are outscoring them, 52 points ahead with only one weekend to go.
The One Cup
Without so much as a murmur, the One Cup™ has been quietly conducting itself in the background of the FPL website. Starting in Gameweek 34, the twenty teams played one-hit knockout games until just two teams were left for a final gameweek showdown.
