Loss 54-55
What happened to Aguero to loose 5 from his bonus point score ? When I looked at just before full time he was on 30 and on for 1 bonus point, then in the final reshuffle he dropped to 25. :? Edit now showing 23 !

😂 I’ve been moaning about this and getting into debates on the pub thread, thinking that sometimes human intervention occurs but realised that made me sound like a conspiracist! Though I have my suspicions! Painful way to exit the cup.

The Fantasy Cup is a joke competition that is practically impossible to win

Post by Kris_fiso »

Well my luck has finally run out as i lost my fantasy cup match by a point just because my opponent had Ryan Fraser who has hardly done anything for weeks but just happens to score points when he is facing my team

Why is it every year just when I think I'm going to go far in the competition that a team that I'm facing always has a player that manages to produce something when you are facing them but has not done anything in weeks. It happens to me time and time again which is so annoying. Alright maybe i could have improved my team and play Periera instead of Robertson. But my team was already decent with a great mIdfield of Richarlison, Anderson, Son, Pogba and Hazard and a strikeforce of Rashford and Kane

What have i got to do to actually go far in this competition as it is so frustrating get knocked out early when you have done everything to pick the right team

I find it useful to check live bonuses here
https://www.anewpla.net/fpl/index.php
I spotted the site few seasons ago, and proposed it here, although it was only FPL Statistico at the time

the Live part allows you follwing the matches (plenty of similar tools)
and even updates Live the BPS scores, with single BPS items detail (that's a bit less common)

https://www.anewpla.net/fpl/live/bps.ph ... ixture=207
you can see in the above link for the yesterday match, that Kun has -3 for 1 Big Chance Missed, -3 for being Tackled, -1 for Offside, and -1 for a shot off target.
Didn't follow the match yesterday so can't say when the single negative items occurred,
but I verified using that Live BPS tool this season, that while most items appear and get updated live during the game,
most of the times the "Tackled" item gets added (or rather, subtracted) only AFTER a game has ended,
and it's the most relevant reason for the reshufflings we experience.

I figure it must be an OPTA thing

I have Salah, he has Robertson, VVD, B Silva and Aguero (c). He also has Bednarek (5j as his first sub.

It’s going to be close!
Won 77-66. Never been this far before, very exciting!

So we're down to what, 131,072 teams? It's about this stage of the season I start trying to calculate the probability of 2 FISOers facing one another, but normally just end up realising how much I've forgotten since school!

Opponents are up.

I have an active Man U player ranked 117k, and we have 10 players in common!

He has Patricio, Hojberg, Kolasinic, Richarlison, Wilson.
I have Flappyhandski, Chilwell, Torreira, Masuaku and Ings.

I've already changed Laporte to TAA, and have another free to deal with Ings. I think he has the upper hand to be honest.

Up against an active manager circa 780k in the overall rankings. Only four players in common: TAA, Fraser, Holebas and Salah.

Going to be interesting!

Have provided some additional ID info to RPG,
but now, whithout wanting to override his excellent work, I went and checked the FPL Cup status for all teams in my Owners List for this season

FPL CUP 18-19 FISOers run

this is the list of all this season Fiso teams known to me at the moment

all usernames are actual Fiso Members, and the IDs are their actual current season FPL teams
some members haven't been post much recently, or might be lurking since long, or could have quit Fiso despite renewing the League
names in thin blue come from the 2010/11 signup list, many thereof I have never heard or seen in the forum. Maybe the elders here can remember them
still this is the widest sample for 2018/19 FPL teams from Fiso Members

I currently know the 18/19 teams of 634 Fiso Members
125/634 failed to Qualify for the FPL in GW16
so only 509 Fiso teams started the competion proper in GW17 (Round 1)
after 5 rounds, there are only 41 left, who enter now the Cup Round 6 (GW22)

of course those figures do not count the Fisoers who posted their advancement in this topic, without tho disclosing their team for this season

It appears that my opponent, who hasn’t made a transfer since GW9, has come alive to play their Bench Boost. :shock:

However, I reckon they’ll struggle to get 11 starters out anyway...

With only 4 differentials I'm 10-1 up after the first game.

He has Button, Richarlison and Wilson, I have Chilwell and Barnes.

44-41 up, both have five to play. But two of his are doubtful and another is a Wolves defender at Man City.

Somewhere in the United Arab Emirates is a guy who hasn’t looked at his team since August and is totally unaware he is close to knocking me out of the cup. Need Everton to do something tomorrow..

I'm now all done with a 9 point lead. He has Richarlison and Wilson to make up the deficit.

Knife edge here - I'm 9 ahead but they have a couple more to play.
We have quite a few 'similar' players (they have Kane/Rashford/Pickford, I have Son/Pogba/Digne) - if there is minimal variation between those pairs, I will probably win as their other players aren't too great – but it could easily swing against me!

It all comes down to Doherty for me (well, against me).

If he scores 6 or fewer I'm through.
If he scores 8 or more I'm out.
If he scores exactly 7 I'm out on goals conceded, unless something very unlikely happens!

60 all out. My opponent has 37 (41 - 4) with Aguero (c) to play tomorrow. Means hiding behind the sofa for the ManC game.

Looks like there’s a number of us hoping Man City have a quiet night tomorrow...personally less than 15 points from Sané and I’m through. From memory Wolves aren’t bad at the back and have done OK against the big teams, so I’m holding on to that!
