** murf's FISO TFF Highlander Killer Cup league 2018/19 **

29 points...I’m almost emabarassed. The throwing cards into a hat game is so addictive I became distracted

I would echo Robots sage advice though (whilst I move the hat another 2 foot further away and try my luck again).

The trick with the cards game is to not take them out of their box first!

That’s the sh@t or bust version of the game. Bit like my Highlander team by the looks of things

[murf]

To those near the bottom I suggest the use of 5 transfers over the next 2 games to ensure your safety

No! Was hoping to survive without transferring so please stop encouraging them to get points. Just bought 3 Cardiff defenders for my FISO 500 team. Don't want to have to wreck this one as well!

I see our 3 on 34 became 3 on 36. Crawling slowly up to biting distance of those with their bottoms dangling just above....

A very unsafe way to approach from where I'm concerned

[murf]

Well I'm gambling on no transfers and nobody playing tonight so my score of 49 is your target.

[Mystery]

PVA's goal has just put me up to 51. Had me going a little there

[murf]

My 49 should be safe with no CSs around.

[hogweed]

Well that was a Ducking Disaster

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again “ The Highlander killer cup is very tricky to win two years on the spin “

CULL 3, WEEK 2, FINAL SCORES

Oh my, we lose our reigning champion

THE KING IS DEAD

PS Forget about him, we have another culling starting tonight. 18 fighting for 9 immunity spots. Bring. It. On.

CULL 4, WEEK 1, DAY 1SCORES

1 Highland Tinkerman morganb 2
=2 the rest of us 0

Close.

No Murrays or Arnautovic's then.....


(Arnautovic was booked. I suppose theoretically morganb could have him and another 1 pointer, don't think there were any -1s so nobody else has him)

CULL 4, WEEK 1, DAY 2 SCORES

No time for a formal update but, with just 3 games to go, the border between immunity and two weeks of sweaty bumness is being straddled by teams on just 15 points.

Good job there are plenty of popular picks getting their boots dirty today.

One good thing about not transferring as normal..... you end up keeping players like Aubameyang and so still have them when they finally come good.

Indeed! In fact I'd completely lost track here and thought this week was week 2 of the last cull, and so I was safe Aubameyang has certainly helped... and of course I've just made a few cheeky transfers ahead of the Citeh/Liverpool match Not sure whether that's going to be enough...

[morganb]

All I can say is 'Thank you Mr Mahrez!'

[murf]

53pts needed for immunity. I got 60 so will be resting a few after the international break.

Well there was no point scoring even one point more than that then

[murf]

CULL 4, WEEK 1, FINAL SCORES

So, how we doing? Ah yes, blessed immunity, the international break will stretch on an extra week. Think I'll be on a deckchair in the Maldives. You?

Must remember to pack a velvet top hat and some playing cards....

[morganb]

Moment of panic, checked table, feet up, top hat and cards out

Shall I throw first?

I bet Vid is glad of his immunity with Chelsea letting 2 in before 3pm saturday. Both of us wasting a rare Rudiger goal though....

With this, FISO 500 being out of transfers and FISO 2019 not starting yet, I've only got 4 active teams this weekend. Probably a good thing with post internationals injury rumours and rests.

[murf]

CULL 4, WEEK 2, DAY 2 SCORES

It seems like there have been a lot of us distracted by top hats and playing cards this week - the lowest 7 scores showing on the table (20-34) belonging to teams not up for a bout of culling (already culled or safe). That leaves poor Erry whose Ten Pints have probably been his distraction this week. Can he sober up enough to get some points from tonight's final fixture???? and who to go for anyway - Leicester or Arsenal?? Those on 48 probably feel safe but probably not a feeling shared by those on 40-44. Hmm. Bum. Squeak.

Fingers crossed for tonight.

CULL 4, WEEK 2, FINAL SCORES

highlander2nd04X.png

17 of us stand our pins back up today to await the weekend's bowling ball of fate. The bottom 9 will stand and quiver waiting for next week's strike.

[murf]

I see one team had double figure scores today from Salah, Mane AND Wilson.

Shame it was Terry who got culled last weekend.

Timing eh?

Ouch.

Tonight’s match has the potential to create quite a swing in the points haul depending on the way it plays out. I don’t think I’ll add to my 10 city and spurs players though ...ahem....

[murf]

Out and about at mo but I'll try and do a table before k.o. to help / add to your bum sweat levels. Think I'm ok with plenty of points and 17 to play.....

[murf]

CULL 5, WEEK 1, DAY 2 SCORES

Well here are the scores with 1 game to go... but what a big game.... Spurs and Man City. Will Arry blow the doors off your Citeh defenders and hence your immunity hopes? 38 is safe at the moment but will the leading 53 even be enough??

See you on the other side....

Blimey! I'm a bit border line.

[murf]

Blimey! I'm a bit border line.

Very. Think your 49 claimed the final immunity spot. Big 'unlucky' shout to nffc who turned his last place 22 into a very near missing 48. Ouch.

All to be confirmed tomorrow....
