/r/FantasyPL Award Flairs and how to claim them
Hi all,
As you may or may not know already /r/FantasyPL has been planning some end of season awards flairs that can appear alongside your username in this subreddit. Well now we're barrelling into the final gameweek, we can reveal to you our gorgeous flairs as designed by the fantastic /u/weekndr.
The award categories:
- Winner of our Reddit league
- Top 10 in our Reddit league
- Winner of our Reddit h2h leagues**
- Top 3 in Last Man Standing (Gold, Silver and Bronze)
- Predictions League Winner
- Differentials League Winner
- FPL Top 100 Overall Rank
- FPL Top 1k Overall Rank
- FPL Top 10k Overall Rank
and you can see a preview of the flairs in by clicking here.
** Due to some miscommunication between us moderators, there are three distinct h2h leagues, two from gw1 and one from gw4, each with 300+ entrants so leagues so winners from each league will receive flair. These leagues are being retrospectively named after their creators and this will be indicated in your hover over text for some added personalisation.
How to claim your flairs:
If you are claiming a flair for an in-house game such as Predictions League or Last Man Standing these will be awarded automatically.
If you are claiming the classic league Winner, classic league Top 10 or Overall Ranking flairs please log into FPL and declare your username in this league forum thread:
http://fantasy.premierleague.com/my-leagues/16808/forum/149227/thread/
Backdating flairs
- /u/chickenMcNugs won Last Man Standing last year and has already been appointed his flair.
- If you would like to claim Overall Ranking flair from previous years, declare your username in the league forum thread above and state that you have top 10k rankings in you user history. We will then verify this and award flairs appropriately.
Aren't they a bit big?
Yes. They will be resized to be more in line with the club badge flairs during the off-season.

If I may make a suggestion, should we add an FPL top 30k or top 25k rank flair?
I say this because we have 3,000,000 people playing FPL and I think the people that rank within the top 10% (i.e. the top 30k) should deserve a flair. If you wanna be technical, you can not include the ghost teams, bringing down the total active players to 2-2.5 million, and make a flair for the top 10% of those (20-25k)
Another suggestion I'd like to make is to only allow flairs for the top 100, 1k, 10k etc. be active for players that had this achievement within the last 2-3 seasons (while stating what years their flair is for, so we're aware as well). Reasoning for this is so that flairs are rarer and more of a thing to fight for every year
Edit: What u/GraduateStudent said. Thanks for correcting my math buddy, clearly putting your degree to use :p
But yes, I think if you're in the top 1% of the game, you deserve recognition

I think there are too many flairs and they should be a little bit smaller sized in my opinion as well. But I like the idea. :)

So I ended up somewhere around top 70k and won my private classic league (if that counts for anything?). May I claim Top 100k and classic?

Was up to 4k in February but have slipped to 28k. I got my hopes up for flair and now I'm sad because they look pretty :(

Sorry I'm late to the party! I haven't had much time for reddit or fpl recently. Thanks for selecting my flairs and making adjustments; they look really good. :)
