Re: FPL Cup '16-'17
I'm through to R3. Got another active team, with the same front 3 as me. He has a stronger defence, I have a stronger midfield. I'm confident despite giving away 4 points.
Also, where are all these dead teams I've heard got through?!

Re: FPL Cup '16-'17
I got another semi-active team too, for 3rd round
in the sense, he made 13 transfers in the first 16 GW, albeit without taking any hit, thus pretty regularly active although not performing greatly
he then went "dead" or on hols in the last 3 GW where he didn't touch his lineup at all... even so, he heavily outscored me in GW19
preparing to go out again!

Re: FPL Cup '16-'17
Dead time for me too ranked in the 2m+ but with the potential to do damage. Will ignore the temptation to captain Ibra to neutralise him on the basis that my squad is stronger and then hope that the likes of Negredo, Shaquiri, Mkhi don't fire.

What's the furthest anyone here has got to in the cup? Anyone ever got to the stage where everyone knows who is in?

Re: FPL Cup '16-'17
Looking ok for getting through again.
50 w/ Hennessey, Alli, Townsend & Hazard vs. 34 w/ Costa, Eriksen, Rose, maybe Alonso & probably not Walcott.
Hopeful Costa doesn't go wild, cant see any cleansheets for Rose or Alonso and if Walcott doesnt play he'll get 2 off the bench.
Need Alonso to feature or he'll get 8 more (Chambers)

Despite a poor week, I think I'm going through on goals scored. I have 4, he has 2 (captains don't double, right?).

Re: FPL Cup '16-'17
Good week and although MoSe beat me in the FISO H2H, I managed a 68-53 cup win. Onwards and Upwards; maybe I'll get a live team following the 3 dead ones I've played so far.

Re: FPL Cup '16-'17
Hi. This is my first season in FPL and so far having a good run in the cup.
I should have gone out this week because a played 3 Chelsea players and 2 Arsenal and put my two Spurs players on the bench. The bench score was 28 with Lloris, Adam, Walker and Rose. Win some loose some I guess.
I think I will stick with the Chelsea players for the net round and hope they do well at Leicester.
Good luck to all of you in the cup. Cheers

Not too worried about my guy - ranked 360k ish
A few of the same so capt choice might be key.
Only differential of his I'm worried about is Costa (maybe Defoe)

This is my opponent from last GW. Started GW5 and is 3.7m OR.
84p taken in hits in 16GW and he has already done a -4.
Decent players so if they perform and mine don't i could be in trouble (obviously)

Re: FPL Cup '16-'17
I've got another dead team way down in the rankings but with Ibra (C), Hazard, Walker, Bellerin, De Gea and a whole host of inconsistent others. Should be OK but it only needs Pogba, Barkley etc to have a good week and I could be in trouble.

Re: FPL Cup '16-'17
I've got an active team. Way down the rankings with a Bulgarche style defence of Bellerin, Azpilicueta, Cahill, Morgan and Funes Mori. De Gea between the sticks too.
Oh, and he has 2 frees too, although needs to ship Mane and Zaha.

Re: FPL Cup '16-'17
Ok so the dead team who beat me in the second round won his third round match and is now up against another dead team in the 4th round!
That means a dead team will be through to the 5th round. I think that's pretty rough personally.
I am certainly one who would like a rule change here.

Re: FPL Cup '16-'17
I really don't see why. If you are beaten by a dead team they had better players than you that week. As an active manager you will almost certainly have a bigger budget than the dead team so the odds favour you.djskope wrote:Agreed.

Giant-killings happen in the real FA Cup too.
I have a dead team in the next round but it's quite a good team with De Gea(c), Cahill, Otamendi, Rose, Silva, Alli, Lallana and Defoe in there. Coutinho also if he's back. And Benteke if he's fit. That's a team that can do very well in any one gameweek.

Should / Could be through again.
He's on 41, I'm on 37.
Both have Lallana & Ibra - he has Klavan vs. my Baines, Valencia & Lukaku
If Utd score, I should be ok.
If they dont, need a goal from one of my guys.

I'm fairly confident, despite the fact he has 5 players left to my 1.
Mainly because I'm 77-19 ahead

Re: FPL Cup '16-'17
So I got 81p and he got 80p, Yet I took a hit due to the bustard Costa so effectively he beat me by 3p,
Lukaku getting booked at the end of game cost me 1p, and moved him out the bonus costing me another 1p, and Giroud being subbed on 59m basically cost me another 1p.
I scored more then him so would have gone through.
Oh well bad luck
