Stem is currently the top ranked known Fisoer (regardless leagues), 186th overall
viewtopic.php?p=3295570#p3295570

now the above posts made me think: how many in the FPL top ranks also survived in the Cup so far?
added 2 new tabs in the Cup file
FPL CUP 18-19 FISOers run
one with FPL overall current top 200 (thus including Stemania), and one with a bar chart
inserted the top 100 then I got bored, might complete it later/tomorrow

Only 4 in the top 100 are still in the Cup, ranked 17 19 90 96
How many in the remaining 85 ahead of Stemania?

remember that only 4k FPL teams survived so far and enter GW27, out of 4M who qualified for GW 17

I think this is likely to be the week I fall tbh. I'll be taking 4 or 8 in hits, and probably going without an Arsenal player. Opponent I expect to go in with no hits and Aub (c).

Should have a very decent squad from 28 onwards to the end, but this is the week I'm essentially paying towards that endevour.

Maguire hattrick for the win.

Just throw your overall rank to a trash bin and focus on Cup. Wildcard this gameweek.

Given that Stemania is in with a realistic chance of winning FPL, I can only assume this is one of your legendary "jokes".

No, that was my genuine advice for him! He has to do it!

there are 12 H2H Cup matches to play yet, WCing now would only solve his current problem but won't likely help him for the following 11 cup matches

Not true at all! He has to play wildcard right now!

So you genuinely think he should piss away a rank of 186 with 12 GWs to go and his WC, BB, and FH all still intact, just to be in with a chance of winning a cup that nobody gives a shit about anyway?

Yeah ok Finisher.

I can now confirm that Stemania's is the 6th highest ranked team of the 4k still surviving in FPL Cup
Only 7 cup survivors in FPL Overall gw26 top 200
none in top 200 now had failed to qualify in GW16

So the proportion of the top 200 still in is roughly 35 times the proportion of teams still in who qualified globally #fplcupmaths :lol:

I think Stem should forget about the cup and his overall rank and give H2H Draft Divisionals a go. :wink: :lol:

I think the best strategy for stemania would be set and forget from here on. Otherwise he might do some costly mistakes with his transfers.

As I say, I expect to be out this week anyway - have taken the (-8), so best of luck to the other FISOers left in. :)

Maybe my best hope is my opponent not noticing the Friday deadline (no transfers made yet). Image

Looks like I’m still alive after this week’s matches (and no, I didn’t WC 😉) ...if FFF have the BPs correct, I scraped through 44-41 😀

Nice one!

My matchup went less well, losing 43-17(!) after deductions. He only needed Rondon and Doherty to equal my score, and his bench only lost to my starting eleven by 4. That's what you call a trouncing.

so, no fisoer made it into last 1k this season (unless there's some lurker who didn't disclose his current team yet)
there had been worse seasons, well done eviljack and Hogmeister anyway
harsh for eviljack to go out because of no Goals Scored vs 1 (Vardy)

Yep, it was good while it lasted but this week I was well and truly beaten. My opponent played his wildcard, picked Van Dijk and captained Aguero (to my Salah)... 67-47 the final score, can't really argue with that!
