TFF/FPL Combo Cup 2012/13 - STARTS 12 JAN 2013

Post by Surprised »

Last year saw Tenpinterry win the inaugural Combo Cup
tff-fpl-combo-cup-2011-12-t90148-150.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;


The Cup will run again which gives tenpinterry the chance to defend the Cup.

As there are 32 in the competition I will go with last years format which is 8 groups of 4 with 16 to go through to the knockout stage.

I have left it a bit late as I had not realised how early I had started it last year and we are now in GW 16 of FPL with only 22 GWs left and the Cup needs 15 game weeks.
I will start it in GW 22 (games on 12 Jan) although I know this leaves it a bit tight so may make semi finals one leg only if weather means we lose a couple of weeks. It will be nice to make the Cup final in the title deciding week

Full rules and draw to follow

The Draw

- I have used Excel to randomly allocate each player to a group but the current top 8 in the league are effectively seeded and will not be in the same group.
- There will be 8 groups of 4 teams in Groups A to H. It will follow a Champions League style format.

How it works

Group Stage

- As in the Champions League, teams in each group will play each other 'home and away' over a period of 6 FPL gameweeks (see below).
- Based on your combined TFF/FPL points scored in each fixture you will receive 3pts for a win, 1pt for a draw and 0pts for a loss. I doubt we'll get any draws but you never know!!!
- The 8 Group winners and 8 runners up will qualify for the Knockout Stage.

If two or more teams are equal on points the following criteria are applied to determine the rankings:
a) higher number of game points (ie the FPL+TFF points) obtained in the group matches;
b) superior points difference (FPL+TFF) from the group matches;


Fixture Dates (Week commencing)
The group games will take 6 game weeks and the weeks are based on FPL weeks.
It will commence in GW 22 (12 Jan 2013) and the group games will end in GW 27 (23 Feb 2013). If less than 75% of games take place in a GW then the GW will not count toward the cup and will be extended by an extra GW


Knockout Stage

- The aim is to start this in GW29(2 March 2013)
- The 8 Group winners and 8 runners up will be randomly drawn in a last 16 straight knockout over 2 legs (GW 29 and GW 30)
- In the highly unlikely event of a draw after 2 legs have been played then the fixture will be decided by number of game points scored the away team
- The winners of each fixture will go into the draw for the Quarter Finals.

[Last 16

- Knockout with home and away

Fixture Dates (Week commencing)

FPL GW 29 and 30

Quarter Finals

Randomly drawn from winners from the last 16 games
Knockout with home and away legs (prob game weeks 32 + 33)

Semi-Finals

- Same 2 legged format again but the fixtures will be based on the following:
Winner of Quarter Final 1 vs Winner of Quarter Final 2
Winner of Quarter Final 3 vs Winner of Quarter Final 4

Fixture Dates (Week commencing)
TBC but probably GW 35 and 36


Final
- One leg and winner takes all. Hopefully in GW 38.

Some of the dates may change based on postponements etc but there is enough leeway in between the stages to take account of this.

I hope that all makes sense and good luck!!!
Any questions or ideas welcome

The groups will be posted later this week together with the group fixtures
Cheers

Surprised.

GW22 Groups Results

Remember that the game is run to FPL game weeks so once an FPL GW is over then any TFF points scored after that will go into the following FPL GW.

The first games in this seasons Cup took place in GW22 and last years Cup winner saw defeat against papiss dog and went down by 205.8 points to 163.

Other shocks saw Surprised defeat high flying Hancockjr, owenclass beating Mintman, Hogmeister beating Hotpot and blah beating Albumies.

The magic of the cup leads to my first and last mention in the Combo game!!

I'll be doing results for last week (GW 25 in FPL terms) later today.
The GW26 results will be posted once Liverpool have played Swansea.
Bear in mind that GW26 includes all the games from the weekend just gone, Liverpool v Swansea and all next weekends FA cup games

In Group B it is reds363 and Surprised who go through as Hancockjr surprisingly misses out.
Group C sees thebilfella as group leader and Mystery goes through on goal difference.
Group D had 2 very easy qualifiers with topspurs and Neath boy making the last 16.
In Group E Matty B and Zoolander make it despite both losing their final round matches.
Group F has League leader Nedved and Mintman qualify comfortably.
Group G has Hogmeister as a comfortable qualifier and arsene doesn't know joins him.
In Group H papiss dog qualifies with a 100% record and the scramble for 2nd place is won by blahblah who just pips last years Cup winner, tenpinterry, on a very narrow goal difference.

Last 16 commences GW29 which is week commencing 9 March.

The draw will be here later. I had intended to do a random draw but this may lead to teams who were in the same group being drawn together so I may alter it to avoid that scenario. So it will be random with that proviso.
