Fantasy Cup 17/18

[RedSte]

With 10 teams in the competition again this season, 6 of you will get byes and the other 4 will contest the other 2 places available in the quarter finals.

6 byes are determined based on last seasons performances, this means:

Brent
Barry
Dan
Alex
get byes for finishing in the top 4.

Usually the cup holder gets a bye too, but that was Maltese Matt who was demoted from the league for financial irregularities (i.e. no brown envelope!)
so I've awarded the final 2 byes to this season's rookie teams - Udit and Max

The 4 remaining manager's names - alphabetically Amirah, Marcus, Martin and Ste - went into the mythical hat, and weirdly came out in that order.

So the 1st round draw will feature:

Amirah v Marcus

Martin v Ste

Results will be based on your player's performances in the FA Cup 3rd round games next weekend.

(I'm sure you all know how it works by now, but any questions in here please)

[RedSte]

After 3 matches of the 3rd round, Ste currently has 9 points including a clean sheet for Leicester against 2 pts for Martin (Emre can). In the other tie Marcus has amassed 10 points (Lindelof clean sheet, plus points for Pogba & Herrera) while Amirah just has a solitary point for the Liverpool GK - but its very very early days as there are still 29 more ties to play out!

[RedSte]

Score updates (after 25 of 32 ties)

Amirah 11 v Marcus 20

Martin 20 v Ste 27

Still all to play for in both ties with plenty of players still to play from Spurs, Arsenal, WHU, Palace and 1 Brighton player!

[Dante]

It's probably for the best I got a bye.

[RedSte]

Final scores:

Amirah 17 (Liverpool 1, Trippier 6, Silva 4, Rodriguez 6)

v

Marcus 33 (Burnley -2, Cook 10, Lindelof 6, Herrera 2, Pogba 2, Romeu 2, Son 1, Kane 10, Chicharito 2)



Martin 20 (City 1, Stones 1, Can 2, Aguero 10, Rondon 6)

v

Ste 27 (Leicester 6, Cahill 6, Rudiger 6, Robertson 1, Gayle 6, Rashford 2)

[Ole]

HAHAHAHA!

[Ole]

Iheanacho finally scores!

[RedSte]

So, with the exception of Amirah and Martin, everyone is no doubt anxious to see how the draw for the quarter finals has panned out! After all the FA cup resumes on Friday With United heading off on the very long trip to Huish Park!

So on to the draw...

[Ole]

It was Shankly who said that! I thought it was very apt seen as Sanchez has been having piano lessons.

[RedSte]

I was expecting to see an

"Ihenacho "

post from Dan after his 2 FA cup goals today!

[Ole]

Meant to post it earlier. Just hope he kicks on in the league. Him and Sanchez!
