Re: FPL cup
Amazingly (probably for both of us) I beat my newly wild-carded opponent in a low scoring match. I didn't have Costa (C) but at least I still had him, whereas my opponent wild-carded him out, and I won by just 3.
Can't be many Costa-less teams left in after a week like that...

Got knocked out due to Downing. Unless Lescott shows his Everton-type scoring form and manages a clean sheet.

Won by a single point. Was all but out until his Aguero (c) picked up a yellow card.

I think I've won my cash league cup with 3 other managers so the money gets split up between us so it's not all doom and gloom.

I'm a gonner. Bottling captaining Baines is going to come and haunt me, i just know it. Downing is going to be enough for him now as we both have Baines.

Through despite a 4pt captain yet again. My inverse nostradamus captain instinct will have to be reversed if I'm to progress any further me thinks.

Re: FPL cup
Next up for me - a team that hasn't used either wild-card yet, but has made 36 transfers so far. Not surprising then that they have a pretty good line-up - they had Terry benched vs Swansea! My best hope is that they hold off the wild-card another week but make 3 or 4 transfers to tune up for the cup-tie anyway...

I would've thought they were down to about 125,000 by now, so I'm officially out of my depth!jimwinn wrote:Same here but my guy has only used 24 transfers

One of the commentators on R5L for the last FA Cup round had some potential giant-killing act to talk about and said "The chance of an upset is very small" and I thought, well, if the chance wasn't very small, it wouldn't be an upset, would it?

Re: FPL cup
You are about right Mr Clarinet, there will have been about that many in the cup in the week just gone.
The final is in game week 38 I'm assuming, and we're about to play game week 23. So that's 16 rounds including the final left. So there will be 2^16 teams left or 65536. At the start of the cup there were 2^21, hence why the top 2097152 from the previous game week qualified.

It would be nice if FPL Discovery could post some stats about FPL Cup too...
(regardless I got out 1st round)
maybe it could be proposed on that site board

Re: FPL cup
Hey, what do you mean "but still"?
My best rank was 778k GW21, and only twice I've left a GW pass without making at least 1 transfer (and because I was saving it to have 2FT the GW after)
.

...or do you think that any team above 100k is so lame that it MUST be a dead team???

I agree, even just knowing how many of the top 10k were left in after each round would be kinda interesting.MoSe wrote:Hhmmm....

Re: FPL cup
Ok, rule of thumb: 2^10 is approximately equal to 10^3 (=1000) (to save working in powers of 2)Carlos Kickaball wrote:You are about right Mr Clarinet, there will have been about that many in the cup in the week just gone.

So at the start of 21 rounds there's approximately 1000 x 1000 x 2 =2 million teams (i.e., it's not a bad approximation)
With 10 rounds left there will be approximately 1000 teams, and that number is reached via a halving of the number each week, so approximately 2000 (11 wks left), 4000 (12), 8000 (13), 16000 (14), 32000 (15), 64000 (16, where we are now). If you're interested...

Re: FPL cup
FPL = Fermat-provided Lols?
2^16 = 2^(10+6) = 2^10 * 2^6 = 1k * 64 = 64k teams left before GW23
___
EDIT: with 64k I intend the "informatics quantity" as in "64kbytes", that is exactly 65536. NOT 64000
thanks to CK for pointing it out to me

Well, my next opponent has activated his wildcard this morning, so I doubt I will be going through to the round of 2^15.
