FISO TFF/FPL Combo Cup

Jeffers leading a group

especially amusing considering I scored more than him. Come on Barry put the upstart in his place

[DixieDean]

I really doubt we'll get any draws in this so points scored and conceded will be key to where you get placed in the league. The formula that I've 'borrowed' should work it all out though. That's also why there are home and away fixtures so an away win should put you at an advantage if there's any ties on points alone. Hopefully!!!

[DixieDean]

It's only right that I give the guy who put the spreadsheet together a plug so here's a link to his site. He's got lots of free Excel templates on there that people might find useful...

Come on Barry put the upstart in his place

erm, I'm erm.. concentrating on the league

[Anubis]

I get a good score and i still get beat

[DixieDean]

Unlucky mate... You're not out of it yet... 5 more games to go!!!

[DixieDean]

To save scrolling back here's the results of week 2 of the cup.

Only 8 teams keep an unbeaten record and another 8 are still to register any points at all.
Every league is following the same pattern so far pointswise for the four teams. 6 - 3 - 3 - 0. Hopefully we will get some more differentiation as we go along.

In the Group of Death Spencer4 keeps up his winning record while our leader Barry has a shocking week but still manages to win his latest fixture.

I'm surprised at the vast difference between the weekly scores... This has resulted in some absolute thrashings and some very close results.



Cheers

The next round of games are under way so good luck all... Please remember that any points from the upcoming midweek games won't count towards your FPL score in this round.

[DixieDean]

Well... we're halfway through the group stage and only 2 people still have an unbeaten record, while we have a few still to register any points.

Still plenty of time for positions to change though.

Cheers Dixie!

Top of the league (D)

Already 18-4 down on next week's return fixture before a ball's been kicked though (due to FPL autosubs from last Saturday counting for next week)

[DixieDean]

Yep... Sorry, nothing I can do about that... hopefully it will all equal out in the end.

How did you get 18-4? Should it not be 16-4? And why did you take such a big points hit...

I've won one and lost two and sitting in 3rd place so you should be happy...

EDIT: Just realised, sorry... You are taking points off the bench not transfer penalties!!!

[DixieDean]

Week 4 of the cup and all but one person has registered a win.

CSativa is running away with Group G while Group C has all 4 level on 6pts each. I see a potential nightmare with the final placings in that one!!!

With 2 more weeks to go there's still all to play for peeps so keep going!!!

Group H looks a bit tight at the top as well. It's all looking good Dixie.

[Digsby]

Thought I'd had a half decent week. Fair play to Krispy for a massive score.

Nice touch though getting beaten and still moving up the table 1 place.

[DixieDean]

To be honest... I'm not quite sure how the spreadsheet is working out the placings when points are level but according to the bloke that created it, everything should work out by the end of the group stage...

Points scored in away fixtures, points difference etc. will all be taken into account. Even so... I'll go through it all with a calculator at the end. Just in case...

Here's his notes (slightly edited by me to make it relevant to this comp):

If two or more teams are equal on points on completion of the group matches, the following criteria are applied to determine the rankings:
a) higher number of points obtained in the group matches played among the teams in question
b) superior points difference from the group matches played among the teams in question
c) higher number of points scored away from home in the group matches played among the teams in question
d) superior points difference from all group matches played
e) higher number of points scored

Looks like it's doing it right: I'm level with djnuttie on points and ahead on points difference, but he's rightly ranked ahead of me because he won our head-to-head match in week 2.

Looks interesting in group D: but looks like whatever happens in the coming week 5, it will go down to my return leg against djnuttie in week 6

Cheers Dixie

Thanks for looking at it reds... So everything should be OK when I add it all up after game 6.

[Jester]

I lost 118.4 to 119.8....!!
To the 100% man C. Sat - That's a result!!

[DixieDean]

That was pretty close Jester... Although the closest so far was a 0.6pt win for johnnyhp vs Spinynorman a couple of weeks back.

[DixieDean]

Week 5 update

Overall... things are still very tight but we do now have some differentiation occurring in some of the leagues with one week to go..

Hancockjr, C.Sativa and totempaul are guaranteed a place in the knockout phase so well done guys.

By the same token, unfortunately TheSaint, MattyB, Jester and Anubis are out of the running but their scores in the last week may have a big influence over who goes through above them.

Groups A, B, C and F are still really tight. In my group I'm up against totempaul in the last game so I'm not holding out for a win in that fixture with the way he is playing and I may have to rely on a favorable result in the other game between ethelmoomin and MattyB. C'Mon Matty!!!

The way this has gone it seems to me that you need 4 wins out of 6 to guarantee getting through.

OK here's the final update on the group stages... 1st and 2nd in each group go through to the last 16 which I'll announce dates for after the Christmas break.

Two groups have ended with all 4 teams on 9pts and three groups have a tie for second place.
I've checked through how this spreadsheet has worked out the placings and it seems fine to me but if anyone sees any anomalies in the final placings then please let me know, because I want to do the draw for the knockout stage asap.
