murf's Premiership Predictions Early Doors Cup 2014-15

[Moist von Lipwig]

3rd, with 3 points. hilarious.

[wizardoffire]

yeah im out this week

[murf]

Not done scores yet but guess just 3 needed.

[murf]

Loads of rubbish 2s means you all survive as you straddle the qualification border. Those on 1 or 0 are, deservedly, out. Quick mention for BOLTONBOY, after a shocking 0pts from 7 games on Saturday he redeems himself with an exact score on sunday.

After the international break it will start getting messier with only 16 getting through and 34 fighting for those spots.

Scary stuff.

1 out of 10 and survive

[bluenosey]

Oof - just a gnats knacker in it.

At least we've finally found something Wizardoffire has struggled at

[OllY39]

Wow I made it

[murf]

Going to be carnage this week with only 16 of 34 scheduled to get through.

Just point the scores in and 17 of you only have 2 or 3 so are heading out. Us high scorers on 4 or more are starting to get cocky.

Still 6 more points to go for.

[murf]

One game to go. Top 16 (+ ties) go through.

You forgot to enter your picks then?

[murf]

No.....

Slim chance I have saved myself with an FFL equaliser despite getting 9 results wrong....

[Moist von Lipwig]

Slim chance I have saved myself with an FFL equaliser despite getting 9 results wrong....

think that goal has got me through on ties with 5 points.

[murf]

It only took 4 to get through this week. 7 people got more but that final 8th place was shared by 6 people meaning 13 go through.

No going through like that next week. 4 will get through but tie-breaks come in and so 9 will get evicted from the house.

What will be the tie-breaks for next week?

What will be the tie-breaks for next week?

First round of tie-breakers is the points scored in the league leaders' game then 2nd place's etc etc (using positions after the weekend). Think it goes to 'goals out' in the games in same order after that.

[robot]

Looking good for me I appear to be in first place overall

[murf]

With 1 game to go and only 4 to get through to the semi-final next week:

6 8 Ralfbergs

10 7 morganb
OUT
11 5 Digsby
11 5 eagle224
11 5 Minitoff

The above assumes anyone can win on the tie-breaker but I haven't checked (eg morganb can just get =4th in theory from 3pts tonight but may be out if he can't win on the tie-breaker)

[murf]

Just a quick note that the Knockout Cup will be launching soon.

The Early Doors Cup final is in Set 8 and then we are straight into the Knockout Cup starting in Week 9 which will be the first leg of the Last 64 games.

We probably won't get 64 entries so there will be Byes based on overall scores after Set 8. As an example The Early Doors Cup got 48 entries which would mean the top 16 getting byes and the other 32 fighting out for the remaining 16 spots in Round 2 (last 32). So keep on picking and try and get up the league so you get a bye!

If my calculations are correct it's between me and OllY39 to see who gets through. (I somehow actually managed to get Stoke v Newcastle result correct )

Don't think so. I have 11 and the correct Chelsea score but still not certain of a SF berth

Sorry, first time on a proper computer since MNF so will update soon. Keep baiting that breath....
