Fernandinho out so Hegazi comes in for 1pt

4pt lead
Mkhitaryan, v Bellerin, DeBruyne

[andybarrell]

another win scraped

would have been more comfortable if i had played Ederson (15) and Otamendi (5)

but 48 v 46 Win and into the round of 1024

[Pirlo's Beard]

Sensational! What a run!

[Smurphy Paw]

Good skills Andy
How are you doing it? Are you getting an extra 5 points for home advantage?

[andybarrell]

next round v ranked 4,926,587

[Zimmerman]

Your name is on the cup.

Good luck.

[Zimmerman]

He only started in week 12 by the looks of it.

Looks to have a reasonable team (although no Kane this weekend could be costly for him).

[andybarrell]

I am gambling and putting armband on Kane v his Salah (probably)

[Zimmerman]

Why not just match his Salah.
Kane is a mega differential (over his Wilson).

Impressive run andy!

Just done the math and this is for a place in the last 256.... which is crazy when you think it started with 4,194,304 players!

I make it for a place in last 512

[andybarrell]

Uh Oh sweating on Salah now

13 v 10 after 3pm games

[andybarrell]

not over yet

4 pts down

Ederson, Otamendi, Mkhitaryan v de Gea, Azpilicueta, Lingard, Murray

looks like i need a Man City clean sheet

[Joshhhua]

I don`t know how I`m still in this as I would give it away for as much as 1 point in the real FPL.
I have 16pts and he has Otamendi, Bellerin, KdB and Sane, so I`m out.

[andybarrell]

and i am out, thanks for following my progress, its been fun....but you know what they say "its a rubbish cup anyway"

Well done Andy

[MoSe]

Well, if DDG+Lingard get a net 0p....

[Joshhhua]

Hi guys,
against all odds my team somehow managed to be in the last 8 in the Cup, but my next opponent has better team and will probably play his BB chip, so I'm thinking of using my TC now instead of DGW, but would like to know how many of the rest six have their TC available. I tried to find the matches of the next round, but somehow I'm too dumb to find it. Does somebody know how to see it?

[MoSe]

Hhmmm... I've never got that far, but thought that FPL made last rounds visibile to everyone,
it appears to not be the case tho, you can only view your matches

FPL does not appear to be interested in making "race" info for minor goals visible for "spectators" too...
once people have entered their infinite double teams, they don't care to give out complete nor detailed info

It's outstanding anyway that you got to QF!
a reason to share now the link/ID to your team?

[RomynPG]

ditto to that.

Awesome to get so far - would like to cheer you on Joshhhua

[MoSe]

actually, if we take Andybarrel who by the posts above had progressed a fair bit in the Cup
we see that the Cup matches can be seen in the https://fantasy.premierleague.com/a/leagues/cup/ <FPL ID> page
for instance it's https://fantasy.premierleague.com/a/leagues/cup/4345 for Andy

Now, MAYBE Mav3rick, or Mystery, or thesilkworm, or RPG, or anyone who can develop in JSON, could "parse" all the 5.9 million IDs and check which 8 have 36 as hight GW number (for next match)
dunno if that info is easily retrievable from a known field, nor whether it would take DAYS to parse such a large number of IDs

Thanks guys, but it was mostly luck really.
Oh, well, as this is my last season in FPL, why not? Link is added.

Ok, so it seems like this info about the Cup matches is really hidden...

[Mav3rick]

I can investigate the data behind the page later on today, see if I can uncover these other cup competitors...

[RomynPG]

Oh, well, as this is my last season in FPL...

That's a shame - you've got a good record but obv up to you whether you play again next season.

Best of luck for the remaining fixtures - would be cool to have a FISOer win it

[MoSe]

you also can find a team last couple cup games in their History, or even My team, page (the Cup frame stays the same)
maybe that's easier than parsing the a/cup/leagues/ID pages?

ditto - that's a pity

you'd also be 11th ahead Cicada in the Forum League
but you'd be only 2nd in FISO Balkan behind Pilaya

[Kevlar]

I think these are the quarter finals:

Bare ham rolls fam vs River No Paddle

Despicable Mee vs البوب

OneTooManyMorgans☆ vs wait for it

Nibelungen vs val

[MoSe]

that's great!
how did you find them?

[Kevlar]

I was bored at work so just clicked a lot, following the cup progress of several high flying teams - everyone had to be knocked out by someone at some point and it was always going to end in one of 4 matches...
It was surprisingly quick!

Wow, that is amazing! Thanks a lot!

Just went through matches and in the semis will probably be 2 teams with TC and maybe one with BB, so it looks like it doesn't make sense to blow TC now, just to go out easily in semis. I did get the only one with 2 chips left though, but I was very lucky until now, so can't really moan.

Thanks again for your support guys!
