Hogmeister wrote: 30 Apr 2019, 17:25 I decided after last year that a dedicated team was needed for this competition, and so my transfers this year have only been made with the weekly scores in mind, and this team has been regularly ignored in the earlier weeks when I had immunity. Crazily, despite all that, it is currently outscoring my main team! 😂
I did similarly - probably why I crashed out so early :lol:

It is has become my second best team despite me just blundering through my cache of bonus transfers as and when I have felt like it since elimination. Got 5 left to use somehow - can't be 5 Citeh blokes I need who will be good for a 3 for 1 - already got 4 of them!

A relief if I’m honest. They way the fixtures look to me, I think a team with a Digne or a Coleman would have hard to catch already.

Looks like this is how we finished this week...

Hogmeister (Highlander Hog) 63
Jamjack (Connor MacLeod) 51
Workie(stherecanbeonly1) 42

Bad luck Workieticket, it was a high scoring week again!



...and then there were two :D

Bad luck workieticket, I was lucky to get the points I did this weekend. I’m now left looking at the 11 that I’m stuck with for the final weekend and asking myself “really.....? How did this happen....”. I hope you are feeling the same Hog :lol:

Another year looks to have gone by without having to do a decent tie-break (done on daily scores). Any chance of a tie on sunday chaps and then using the FA Cup Final as the replay for our Cup Final?

So is anybody consistently good at this?

Last year's podium (this year's performance):
1. Hogweed (19th - out cull 3)
2. aceface (Didn't enter!)
3. murf (12th - out cull 10)

This year's podium (last year's performance):
Finalist. Hogmeister (10th - out cull 11)
Finalist. Jamjack (5th - out cull 16)
3. workieticket (7th - out cull 14)

Answer - No, not really! Jamjack has the best record, especially if he can do the business next sunday....

I am consistant in that I went out in the first week of the straight knockout rounds in both seasons.

I’ve staggered into the last week in tatters Murf, I’ll need to hope Hogmeister is in similar shape otherwise there is very little chance of an exciting cup final week tie-break I’m afraid.

It’s round 15 of Rocky v Ivan Drago. Nothing left to give....or is there? :lol:

Well I guess if I had any transfers left (I don’t), there’s one or two changes I’d be making before Sunday, but overall I’m pretty happy with my team tbh Jamjack. But anything can happen, as they say.

Still amazed that this team is my best-performing team, and is now up to 301st overall, so looks set to be my best performing team ever, in 10+ years of playing TFF :shock: :lol:

Likewise Hogmeister. I’ll have no better than 10 players and I suspect there could be a few surprises in the starting line ups this weekend.

Looks like you came through at the death Jamjack, well played!

I’ll own up that I hadn’t checked the rules and last week was making transfers thinking that we would get points from today’s fixture PLUS the FAC Final. In fact, because of that, my final transfer of the season was Mane :arrow: Silva, which unfortunately made all the difference today.

Memo to self... read the bloody rules! :oops: :wink: :lol:

Anyhoo... very well played, a worthy winner, and a big thanks again to Murf for organising it. Great little competition :D

Yeh! My first ever FISO community game win.

Bad luck Hogmeister. Even allowing for your Mane change, I was very lucky. With close to a Liverpool block (my only other defender being Laporte) and the rest of the team a bit of a jumble sale, I think today’s results were the only way I could pip you.

Loved the comp and the chat. Thanks Murf

Shame I read the rules wrong :roll: :lol:

So it was 53 points from the cup final yesterday, to Jamjack's 7... and I finished in 244th overall, the best finishing position for any of my TFF teams ever :shock: ... and ended up 70-odd points clear at the top of the Highlander League table... but all that was meaningless as that final PL week score meant Jamjack had pipped me at the post.

Well done again Jamjack, and thanks again Murf, really enjoyed this competition. See you all again next season :D

There can be only 3.....

Highander WILL RETURN for this the upcoming third season.

I appreciate with the new TFF rules that not everyone can dedicate a team specifically for this but also, with no superleague prizes, you can more easily enter any other team into this and chance your arm.

As a teaser there will be a new feature this season featuring zombie reanimations where eliminated teams fight off to rejoin the league of the living - so death is not the end. Necessarily.

Launching on a new thread near you soon. Beware.

I like it Murf. The competition for side games increases thanks to the new TFF 5 team rule so you raise the bar with new concepts. Quite the marketeer.

“I’ll be back!” No, that’s the wrong movie.

Competition is so fierce I might have to do the first zombie reanimation and get off my near-dead, lazy, summer ar$e and start the league this weekend :lol:

I know what you mean. Other than a very quick browse at the prices and two failed attempts to contact Telegraph Towers, I can’t motivate myself to do anything. :roll:
