Hey guys

I came up with a new game called QUICK FIRE 9 BALL.

The object of the game: To pot the 9 ball before anyone else

The Game Rules are as follows:
Quote:
Game Rules

Balls have to be potted in consecutive order (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)

Each gameweek you choose how many balls you want to pot. You can choose any integer between 1 and 9

If you choose to pot the 1 ball only, then you have to select one player to get 1 or more points (eg: 1-Nani)

If you choose to pot 2 balls (Ball 1 and 2), then you have to select two players. One to get 1 or more points and one to get 2 or more points. (eg: 1-Nani, 2-Barry)

If you choose to pot ALL 9 in one week, then you have to select nine players. Where each ball represents the amount of points the player chosen for that ball has to achieve. (eg: 1-Nani, 2-Barry, 3-Lucas, .... , 9-Drogba)

If you manage to pot the the balls you attempted to, then you carry on in the consecutive order until the 9 ball is potted. (eg: Last gameweek you potted balls 1 and 2. Therefore this gameweek you start on ball 3 and you choose again how many balls you would like to pot)

If you fail to pot the balls, then you must start again from the 1 ball in the next gameweek.

You can be safe and pot one to two balls a week or be a risk taker and try pot all nine in one gameweek.

The choice is YOURS! :twisted:

Also due to tactical cheating, you can NOT have the EXACT same run as someone else in the SAME gameweek. (eg: Player 1's run can be: 1-Nani, 2-Barry. Player 2 could want the same but if he would like the same, he would have to either change a ball [1-Milner, 2-Barry] or add a ball [1-Nani, 2-Barry, 3-Lucas])

You can not have more than two players from the same team (per GW)

The deadline for each GW is the same as FPLs

In the unlikely chance that two people pot the 9 ball in the same gameweek, the one who pots more balls on the last gameweek wins. (eg: Player 1 potted the 8 ball and the 9 ball this week but Player 2 potted balls 6, 7, 8 and 9, then player 2 would win. In the rarest cases whereby both players pot the 9 ball with the same amount of balls potted in the last gameweek, then the player who scored the most from their 9 players wins.


Hope you enjoy yourself and Good Luck! 8-)

I realised that there is a slight problem with my rules so I have included one more:

You cannot have more than TWO players from the same team. Due to this, Nevblake and V1.0 will have to repost.

Sorry for the inconvenience :oops:

Oh well, it was worth a try.

Not so confident about a total clearance now so will have to try over two weeks.

1-Hennessey 2-N'Zogbia 3-Foster 4-Silva 5-Etherington, 6-Cahill

Can I use those players and/or teams again next week to clear the table?

It's more difficult than it looks, I wouldn't be surprised if Colbert is the only one left by the end of the gameweek :)

....and a bonus point for Nani takes him up to 4 :!: At least I won't be waiting in hope for the assist for the Park goal :roll:

The only problem now is that I have to successfully predict the 7,8 and 9pt scorers. If I was any good at that my captaincy choices would have been much better this year :wink:

May as well give this a go. No point taking it slow as it's too easy to catch up by putting in the likes of Barry Ferguson for 1 or 2 points.

V1.0: 7-Torres, 8-Nasri, 9-Lampard
Pink_Elephantz: 1 - Tevez, 2 - Nasri, 3 - Samba, 4 - Nelson, 5 - Clichy, 6 - Gyan
Colbert: 3- Fabregas, 4 - Glen Johnson, 5 - Tevez, 6 - Torres
