Competition Rules
The team with the most points scored over the two legs progresses to the next round. Points lost through multiple transfers WILL NOT be taken into account. So, carry out as many transfers as you wish, however….

… if scores are level after the round then the following criteria will be used to determine the winner of the tie:

1. Transfers. A team with the LEAST number of total transfers made across both GWs of the tie, will progress to the next round.
2. Goals. If transfers can’t separate the two, then the team that scores the most number of GOALS across both GWs of the tie, will proceed to the next round.
3. Bench. If by some horrible quirk of fate the teams are still level then the team whose BENCH scores the most number of points across both GWs, will progress to the next round.
4. Toss. If scores are still level at this point, the lovely Mrs Riddle will toss me, errr, a coin, with the team name that comes first alphabetically being Heads.

I hope this is all clear. For a full and comprehensive list that matches FISO Names with their teams in The Elite take a look HERE! Thanks Spencer4!

ROUND TWO - SECOND LEG SCORES

Post away!

Who is Cokro Maryoto???

Kazma United v SMELLY CRAZY SKUNKS

good luck!

off to look at there team

Unlucky Fingerpass, unlucky son.

Those with bracketed names are Unknowns (Manager name instead of FISO name is shown) - they've joined the League but haven't said hi.
Cokro Maryoto's team

Cant see who the manager of tortoises is . Means i dont know the name of my next victim yet

Cheers Romyn... don't get me started on players that don't say hello!

Tie of the round for me. I'll be cheering albionjulie on against Chrisharry..... and anyone who is playing one of 'the others'.

Penguins everywhere

ooooo yes... hadn't noticed that one! No offence but the more Unknowns that fall by the wayside the better - so I would rather fellow regulars missed each other until the latter stages. I drew a fellow The Meeting Place member who is currently hot on my heels in second place (James' Giants v2.0 - james_g1). Shame one of us will be going out.

if you are so anti-'unknowns' then why let them in at all?

Why not ban them and instead give byes randomly or on some sort of seeding basis?

I am not anti-anybody murf... it is just the nature of the cup based on the official League cup... where everyone gets a chance. It is the only comp where you don't have to declare yourself interested to enter, and I already eliminated a good chunk of Unknowns for GW1 anyway. Always puzzles me why people enter the FISO league but don't contribute in any way... where's the fun in that?

I don't get it either - its why I have 'evolved' the cups in Premiership Predictions(/FISO Goals) this year so no 'unknowns' are in. One post isn't a lot to ask.

Theres no harm people staying quiet and entering formal FISO leagues - it's their call and maybe they just want to put themselves up against some decent opposition. Is just that if I'm putting personal effort into running a comp then I want to see people getting involved and hopefully showing signs they are enjoying it to make my efforts worthwhile.

Would be gutting if you did all this and then had a final between 2 people who had never put their heads above the parapet....

Oh that is the biggest worry, murf, but it is something I was aware of when I ran it for the first time last year. It will be an empty few final weeks if all of the FISOers get knocked out! Last year was great (although both finalists have gone )... hoping for the same this year.

Mind you, my effort is tiny for the running of this comp compared to the much more imaginative games out there... but there is room for us all!

Much nicer draw posted now in place of the green!

Thats what i hope the FISO Poster ML will allow us to do. Much more interesting when you can whip up some banter with your opposition.

I am going to ask for a special permission to allow my players to wear protective gas masks for this match!!

Hope you don't mind vinny!!

I don't like big noses...Federer's going down

Thought it was a cool team name, kinda figured we'd be drawn together at some stage.

May the best penguin win

I'm up against someone I've never heard of or read a post by... good luck stevied76...

He just slaughtered me in the last round - was leading the FISO table at one point. Is also in the high-flying Wales team. I don't think he needs you to wish him luck

Same here. Although having done a little research, it seems matt_toby came close to crowning glory in the UEFA league last season. Sounds like im up against a real pro.

Good luck son.

TTA

Wow!!!

Just checked your FPL team stevie and I'm gonna have to work hard this round.

Here's hoping you read this and tell me what you think of my team too...

fine then :p



we are actually level on points so far so this should be a close one!


ill cheer myself on!

Sorry Chris, it's nothing personal, honest. I just want to see the team that beat me do well so I can say "At least I went out against a good team". I'm sure you'll make it an intriguing contest. May the best FISOer win .
