FPL Cup '16-'17

[Scottoffee]

So, Cup's up and running (for those of us that have qualified)

How's everyone's 1st round opposition looking?

I've got an active team, but he's made no transfers and still not doing too bad (800k ish)
Same captain (Ibra) plus 3 others the same, not worried about any of the rest he's got (Costa suspension well timed!)

Fingers crossed & good luck to everyone!

I got an active team with 1M overall rank. Knowing my cup history, I'll probably lose.

[S_sutton87]

I've got a fairly good active opponent hopefully he's hungover and makes some bad transfers lol

Then it's definitely a duplicate of mine

I thus (respectfully) demand mine to be unlocked

Or thursday I'll start a FOURTH new one myself again!

[Scottoffee]

The other one struck me more of a whinge about the qualification system than one that could be kept running for the whole Cup...

Up to the mods, wont take it personally if they want to close this one!

[gallus]

My opponent is leading by 15ish points and has 5 to play vs my 2(who are playing each other), so that's me out of the Cup

[cesc408]

I Lead mine by 35 points (49/14 pre bonus)

I have 2 left he has 6, and he is an active player ranked 80k

[tarkens]

i'm out

[Weisenwolf]

I have 60 so far and my opponent has 25; I expect to get through

It's an active team but never takes a hit

I'm just saying

That's a bit of bad luck

[jacksosi]

My opponent TC'd Ibra ffs , it's close but it looks like I'm going out

[MoSe]

I'll breeze FPL Cup 1st round, but I'm going out at FISO Cup SF
Guess which I care for....

[math!]

I just realised i didn't even qualify!

GW16 rank: 328,824
GW17 rank: 2,672,008 (it's the top 2,097,152 scorers)
GW18 rank: 72,893

Really great timing there.

I'm 75-44 up. Unless Clyne, Erikson and Kane score 32 points more than Origi, I'm through.

Already further than 75% of all teams, right?

That's outrageous! Hope you get the luck you need to put this guy down!

Jacksosi is 3p ahead with Eriksen Allen vs Origi Lallana Wanyama...
Hhmmm....

[zerinot]

i'm against an Inactive team with Ibra (c), Sterling and tripple Arsenal defence, need a miracle not to go out first round.

Counting subs, you have Kane Eriksen Clyne Pieters to overcome 22p + Wijnaldum Alderweireld

I'm used to it, I've never made it past the third round

[Joccki_10]

I lead mine by, uhh, ohh, hmm, I see, I don't have an opponent.

[S_sutton87]

6 behind with Lloris and Erisken for me versus Van Dijk for him... Hard to call

[Scottoffee]

Winning 86-54

Alli & Redmond vs. Alli, Kane, Alderweireld & Hojberg.

Safe unless Kane does something ridiculous!

[Vincent Black Shadow]

How many rounds for the cup?

[MoSe]

How many rounds for the cup?

all the way:
The final is on gw38

[Aldershot Rejects]

Ironically although I am having my worst season for ages, I am now in the 3rd round of the cup for only the 2nd time ever. Who else is still going strong?

[PleasedToMichu]

Looks like i'm through to next round aswell!

[cesc408]

[S_sutton87]

Posted that in the other topic

just to mention that FPLD definition of "active" team is just approximate and misleading
I got at team who made no transfers in last 4 gws (made only 9 in first 14, no hits)

but checking better in detail, https://fantasy.premierleague.com/a/ent ... 32/history
he played WC in GW15, then changed lineup and/or captaincy in last 3 gws

definitely not a dead team - qualified with 2p margin then won 1st round by 1p
he kept Costa AND Kane in a 352 (Musa 3rd fwd), strong def, flimsy mid (in a 352!)
ranked 1.2M (top 28%) - i'd only have lost 1 h2h in last 13 (GW16)

will he wake up and trade Kane to Ibra? (only 99.0m TV )

anyway, we have all agreed that it's down to pure luck
I'll face each round expecting to go out!

anything else it's all gravy

He finally fell asleep, be it the holiday or the early deadline, and forgot Costa on bench, as 3rd

That's why you should never bench a premium when one-banned

Scraped it thru!!!
