Knockout stages start this weekend

Technically speaking it's not the Knockout Stage, but only the Group Stage
I have six teams in the Champions League, one in the Lower and one in the Sunday League. Seven wins and one loss for this weekend.
One team is in a group with three non-active teams Hopefully this one will have no problems to progress to the knockouts, but you'll never know.
Sometimes those inactive teams prove very hard to beat.

[snout]

My ISO team is top scorer in the group and has 1 point from 2 games. Played the highscorer in the group each week.

Can't afford to lose the next one so big changes due today, with a fresh quota tomorrow.

If the effing site wasn't down!

[Malrom]

My ISO team and my FISO leauge team are top of their Champions Leauge group with 5 wins each (out of 5)!

Great going

I've got one through and one KO'd already.

[reds363]

All my 3 teams got into the CL. One team on 15 points, one on 12 after its first loss last night - both are through

My third team is on 7 points in 2nd place in a tight group, needs a final-week win to progress but should still get 3rd place and the Europa if it loses.

[snout]

Still fuming about this Europa League group for my ISO team...

1st 6 3 2 1 80 75 11
2nd 6 3 0 3 75 82 9
3rd 6 2 1 3 103 96 7
4th 6 2 1 3 68 73 7

Over 20 points more scored than anyone else and I finish third because everyone else turned it on when I played them. And, for one of my two wins, I really had to force it through with a shedload of transfers.

I believe I still go through to the lower comp however?

My other two teams finished first in CL and EL groups, both top scoring. W4 D2 and W4 D1 L1.

I feel for you Snout I'm in the same situation; these are the CL-standings of one of my teams:
1st 6 4 0 2 90 69 12
2nd 6 3 0 3 84 87 9
3rd 6 3 0 3 86 102 9
4th 6 2 0 4 106 108 6

And yes, if you are third you will continue one league below the Europa League. For this team the season is over
LuckilyI still have some other teams that did go through!

Great going

I've got one through and one KO'd already.

6 wins out of 6 games for both of my teams.
Big surprise for myself......

[reds363]

I've got 2 teams through in CL and the other dropped down to EL


No indication yet when the knockouts will start? Had thought it might be this week, but no sign on the site so guess it's after the FA Cup now

They start next week, from March 10th onwards. You can find it here: http://www.fantasyleague.com/Classic/Ga ... tions.aspx" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

The complete text is: "During the knockout stage, each team is randomly drawn against another team within the same Prize Tier competition. The fixtures are played over selected weeks from 10th March to 19th May 2015. These dates are subject to alteration in the event of changes to the Premier League fixture schedule."

[reds363]

Good spot - thanks!

[snout]

KO fixtures are up.

My ISO team starts its Lower League post-season campaign w/c Tues 17th March.

My two CL teams have byes to the next round also w/c 17 Mar.

[reds363]

To clarify, round 1 starts 17 March (i.e. not this weekend's games)... so if you have a round 1 bye you'll begin in April.


(Assuming, of which I'm quite sure, it's the same for all levels - certainly so for CL and EL which I now have teams in)

[menace43]

But I still think it's confusing.
Why put the draw and byes already up when the games are not for this weekend?
Website stated the 10th, the draws were up and I already made some transfers.
Luckily I checked here and saw the matches are for next week so that prevented wasting some more tranfers

[snout]

Losing 20-1 and 15-8 and the other team with a bye. Hey ho.

[Auspicious]

Think I've won MOTM And Manager of the week, barring any changes to the scoring.
2nd in the weekly overall, but winner on standard package. So I won the gold weekly.

[Auspicious]

Won 41 -13 in knockout (lower league)

[reds363]

Not sure that's how it works... think only the top person wins and they get the amount that applies as per their package, so Jon Holt wins the weekly and just gets £50

For the monthly you won so get £800 cos you're gold, Greg Shaw is 2nd so gets £100 (the standard prize for 2nd) and Ziv will also get £100 (silver 3rd). I think!

Congrats - spend it wisely!




On the knockouts, I had two CL byes, and one in the EL squeaked through today. Thought I had a 4 point lead but missed that he'd benched Dawson yesterday so it was only 2, Austin's assist turned out to be the winner for me so bring on round 2!

[Auspicious]

Ah..ok. not the clearest. Thanks for the heads up. Austin assist also key for me, transferred in today.

[bspittles]

Lost 11-8. My other teamed scored 2, but luckily had a bye

[Ashers]

How do you compete against a team with Kane, Giroud, Sturridge, Soton defence and Mata?

I didn't and went out

[snout]

Final scores on the doors: lost by 29-12 and 31-9. Not even Harry Kane would have saved either of those.

One team left in the CL after a bye.

[reds363]

My three teams all trailed into tonight. One simply needed Silva to score 2, another needed Aguero to get 5, and the last needed Dann to get 6. Odd that the latter was closest for much of the night, but that's me all out for the year just like that.

[Ashers]

Now down to one team.

Was trailing with one team by 3 to an inactive team and had two Man City defenders to make up the gap. The other team was win winning by two, but was up against Silva and Aguero.

[coleridge]

3 out of 3 through in cl, although i have had to burn transfers at the rate of 3 a round to get my iso team through.
Does not bode well for the next round though as i only have 2 left.

[bspittles]

My remaining team EL through 20-10 with maximum transfers left
