With all the talk of extra game opps on the TFF forum, it makes me realise how much more limited they are in TFFCH - mainly because so many more games seem to happen on a saturday at 3pm.

There are a few 3-1's opening up due to the FA cup - but these are hardly inspiring opportunities.

It means there is an even greater emphasis on finding form players rather than just 'buying' extra games as in TFF.

Anyone else agree?

that's what I have found too. It makes it harder to pick up momentum on those above you. I have a team inside the top 300 most of the year but its fairly easy to pick the right form players at the top and with 40 transfer you can 'block' progress easily.

I agree too.

Also, there has been a problem with updating the championship fixture grid over the last few weeks (which I hadn't spotted until just now). It has now been corrected and it even shows the gaps this weekend where fixtures have already fallen victim to the snow. I don't think I'll be using any transfers to take advantage though - just too dodgy.

Re: thread title: the FA Cup may shake things up, especially as league leaders Newcastle have been knocked out:

- six Coca Cola Championship clubs are currently in the Cup:
WBA, Cardiff, Palace from top half; Derby, Reading, Scunthorpe from lower reaches of table

- only seven of the 25 most selected TFFCH players* may turn out again in the Cup;
so, will TFFCH managers desert the usual favourites to transfer in those with extra knockout games?

Btw, isn't it puzzling that no one from Nottm Forest, the in-form Championship side of recent months, is in the above list?

Interesting point Sam, I'll be on the look-out for the ties in this evenings 5th round draw.
