Egg Cup threads to come

Post by **Mystery** » 18 Jul 2019, 22:00

I hadn't as much as visited FISO for 2 months because real life has been ludicrously busy. Fine and not at all bad, just busy.

But I am back and I hope you all will be too.

Please express interest here. I'll PM all last year's Eggs this weekend, but in the meantime please announce here if you'd like a spot.

Come on people. Let's go. 19/20 is on

I'm in - never was able to manage more than five teams anyway.

Post by **Spinynorman** » 18 Jul 2019, 22:07

I'm in. Many thanks.

In. TFF may be slowly dying but the Egg must live.

Main reason for playing again is to keep you down there where you belong.

Are you sure you won’t reconsider Des?

Would be a shame to give up your Premier League spot to somebody less deserving.

Post by **raoul** » 20 Jul 2019, 15:24

feel ashamed to say this but can anyone link me to how Egg works?

I feel the need for a side game

Form is temporary......

I can visualise you quaking in your FF boots as you

yourself thinking about who might be joining you next season

Just take a look at the first post of either of last years threads for the rules.

Could always be offered to the team in tenth instead of the team in 4th in the championship

Although saying that not decided yet regarding the 5 team thing.

If that happens I’ll be asking thelip to return to take over

Post by **sjr** » 20 Jul 2019, 21:14

I guess I gotta defend it...

Would be lovely to receive an egg cup for last season or even the season before

Post by **Hogmeister** » 20 Jul 2019, 23:32

I’ll be back again

Actually thinking about it Robot and trying to be fair

maybe it should be based on who got most points last season, no idea how that panned out..........

Post by **robot** » 21 Jul 2019, 12:28

I was only joking you fully derserve your place at the top table, I think I actually got there from league 2 over the years by never actually winning anything

I'll sit back and see if any other pull outs/ if the championship actually exists etc but fine to be in it if I play.

If say only 16 sign up will it just be a bix egg box?

My concern is the 5 team limit, I would be good if the initial team was still reasonable as well as sticking by the egg principles therefore still giving it a reasonable chance of being classed as a normal sessonal team as well, ie no complete duffers at the start.

Just bantz lol.

Do think one box might be the way forward if we don't get the numbers.

5 teams is a bit of a problem to be sure, how many private leagues can a team be in, is it still 3? Thinking I could have one team that can go in to the Tenners/25s leagues, like the idea of those being the same anyway. 6 would have been perfect for me same as I had last year by choice.

Post by **tenpinterry** » 21 Jul 2019, 15:03

I'll be around to prop things up

Post by **happyhoppy** » 21 Jul 2019, 20:11

Guess the next question is what is the starting team?

Post by **sjr** » 21 Jul 2019, 21:14

How about reining champ picks

I made this using the most popular players in each position, then moved down the list looking for popular enablers.

Then I chucked Tom Heaton in goal

Post by **murf** » 21 Jul 2019, 21:25

Not a bad team... if Heaton starts.

No real dross and a dilemma whether to do straight tinkers or tweak the formation with the free transfers.

Post by **Maldini** » 21 Jul 2019, 21:32

Seems ok to me.

Obvious moves would be to lose the West Ham CK and Grealish.

Post by **happyhoppy** » 21 Jul 2019, 21:46

Good egg side tbf although I’d like Aguero not to be in it to see how many try to put him in.
