Wow thats unlucky that is, I'd say i hope he is on the bench, but Martial my captain as well this week haha.
Doesn't play, so now he has Aubameyang TC. That's a player I want to do really well but I now know that if he does I'm likely out of the Cup. :roll:
Me: Fabianski + 8; He: Rice + Chicharito. Looks OK as long as Chicharito plays (ideally a cameo), otherwise I am done for as he has Pereyra's 9 points to come from the bench.

Playing a team in 2.9m-th hasn’t made a transfer since week 5.

He has 4 players unavailable;

54-54 becoming 54-65 thanks to his bench 😂

Leading 75 - 61 against a team that's been inactive since GW3 but, taking that inactivity into consideration, still has a half-decent OR of 1.1 Mil. We're both all out and his auto-subs won't make up the deficit so it's on to Round 4.

My opponent took -12 hit, but will only just beat him with Snoddy tonight. We both have Flappy.

With those two Anderson goals it looks like I'm heading for an 88-88 draw. On goals scored I should win, but IF captains goals count double in this scenario - he wins.....anybody know how that works?

I need at least five scenarios to help me win my cup tie

Anderson to score again
Snodgrass to do something
Snodgrass to get a bonus
Ogbanna to get booked
Ogbanna to concede again

If it is a draw then it goes down to goals scored. And he has scored one more goal than me

It is not going to happen is it

78-80. We both have Anderson, plus I have Fab. The problem lies in that my opponent will benefit from Martial being subbed by TTA in S3 if Chic'to does not play. I would need Fab CS and to score or save some penalties in that case !
Out, 96-106. Back to the top of my mini league though 😃.

I needed an unlikely 20 points from Fabiański and Felipe Anderson tonight to save my bacon. They scored an agonising 18. :(

Out 72-73.

Man bad luck, especially right at the end when Anderson was running towards goal.

I must admit I do enjoy the cup, adds a sprinkle of drama.

For future reference, captains goals don't count twice so I snuck through. Got my first dead team in the fourth round somehow! I guess this means I'm out....

Got a dead team too, but a (mostly) reasonable squad and perma-captain Salah has seen team through this far. Which of course will be the issue again as I don’t have Mo. It feels very predictable that I’m going to be beaten by a team with Christian Benteke up front!

😂 that would be quite unfortunate but very funny!

I’m up against an active team OR 1,877,424. I can’t see any issues and should win but it’s the cup and anything can happen.

Made it through to the 4th round, my opponent has 3 Chelsea including Alonso and Captain Hazard.
He has only made 1 transfer all season but still managed to score 74 points last week !!! :shock:

Another dead team up next for me, though this one is doing quite a bit better than the last one I faced, buoyed by Haz cap. They are also tripled up on LIV so I’ll be hoping for some favours from Palace and Arsenal.

Of course we care :D

We'd be able to care even more if you gave us a link to your team (or update your fpl button) :P

Good luck to you and all those still postponing the inevitable :wink: :mrgreen:

Markman, your same question had been answered dozen of times, I did it in this same topic if you read back a few posts/pages, I keep reposting it by I can't monitor/spot everyone posting the same question again and again and again.

So, the "future reference", both yours and mines, I'm afraid will go alas to waste, as there will always be someone who won't search for it, or who in good faith won't know were to search it.

And I don't think having a kind of Cup FAQ (e.g in RPG thread) would solve much, as the majority here only read their own posts (not meaning you)

I'm through too, up against a dead team that has been getting through with the help of a perma-C on Hazard, supported by Pogba, Pereyra and Liverpool defence.

I'll be attacking it with Spurs and Everton duos - could be a R4 end for me!

I've updated my FPL link too for any interested.

Through by the skin of my teeth! Only three points in it once the hit I took was deducted.
