FPL Cup 2020/21

[Cicada]

Thanks for the luck guys. Me and my opponent have very similar teams, so assuming everyone else plays, it comes down to TAA, Shaw and Coady vs Castagne, Dunk and Saiss

[Cicada]

Made it through 44-34.

My GW35 draw is 837k overall but they're on a brilliant run, with 7 top 1mil gameweeks ranks in a row.

[Smurphy Paw]

Wow, so is this down to the last 16 now? (35/16; 36/8; 37/4; 38/last two). Impressive stuff

[RomynPG]

Advantage very much with you Cicada

[Oxford NZ]

Looking good Cicada a very impressive run and a good GW performance, good luck for the rest of the tournament.

[Cicada]

Thank you! My team's not looking too good for next week, if I make it that far. But you never know

I looked up 'FPL cup 16' on Twitter yesterday, just to see if anyone had said anything. I found an account that's posting week by week updates and apparently there are a few teams that still have one or two chips left!

There's also a bloke who's in the last 16 and is now calling himself India's world no. 1. He's kindly offering to write articles or be interviewed if anyone's interested

India's world no. 1. He's kindly offering to write articles or be interviewed if anyone's interested

If he's in India, he's probably got biger things to worry about, right now

[Cicada]

Just squeezed into the last 8! 107-100. Very lucky to make it through since I ended up with a pretty big red arrow overall.

My gw36 draw is 'Rangers FC' with an overall rank of 35.

I think I've got next to no chance of going any further since I only have 8 players this week (7 if you don't include Forster).

What would you do in my position? -4? -8? Differential captain?

I'm currently tempted by Dallas, Bamford, Coufal, Bale, Antonio, Sigurdsson, and Man City mids.

You got here all by yourself, so I’d keep following your gut.

Brighton have defence problems, so Antonio be a good option imo.

Well done on making last 8, amazing achievement

Tough draw.

I'd certainly want to field a full 11 so you're going to spend at least whatever that works out to be. He's got to make some changes also and you've both got the same GK problem(?) - will Forster play? He's in Oz so hope he hasn't done his changes yet and oversleeps

Captain who you think will get the most points

Best of luck

I'm not making any specific recommendations either

Fair enough . I'd never ask anyone to tell me which transfers to make. Just trying to gauge how 'he who dares wins, Rodney' to go. I think I've settled on what I'm doing now so

[Talkie Toaster]

Good luck Cicada. Great cup run.

Mange tout Rodney!

[From4corners]

Amazing run Cicada! Best of "luck" and let's hope we can cheer you all the way to the final and party afterwards!

[Cicada]

Ah well, end of the line. It was close, but that last minute TAA assist and BP just tipped it. Thanks for all the luck everyone! At least I don't have to overthink my transfers now. Joelinton captain next week?

[From4corners]

Sorry man, great achievement nonetheless! You've achieved something that hardly anyone (here) has reached and can only want to experience one season or another. Perhaps you'll even get further next year.

As for your next transfer, have you considered Fabio Silva?

[Smurphy Paw]

That’s a great run Cicada. Chapeau

[wahine]

yes well done Cicada, most of us find it difficult to get 2 wins in that competition.

[Fuzzy]

That was a great run Cicada.

We mere mortals dealt with the disappointment of elimination months ago.

[Oxford NZ]

Well played to have got this far Cicida and good luck for the rest of the season.
