Egg Cup Competition

[Darbyand]

It's a funny old season (Saint). If I take a punt on KDB missing a few games between now and the end of Jan I can look for a few 6 for 2s, 7 for 3s.... or just raise some cash and forget about him for now. But who? £6.8m to spend on any MF or STR and no-one really grabs me. Is Mane back on track? Will DCL rediscover his scoring touch? Wilson/Antonio always seem 1 game away from an injury. Ings and JimmyNez already there.

[happyhoppy]

Yep agree totally. Was thinking Rashford but not overly great run and he blows a bit hot and cold. Weird season.

[Darbyand]

Might put in a place holder for Jota, fire him in in February and spread some cash around the team as situations arise.

[happyhoppy]

Had another look thinking Bamford and maybe use the cash to bring in some quality in defence like Robertson later after the 3rd round.

COVID could really wreck the season.

[Spinynorman]

I'm currently thinking of doing very little to my team for a while due to the uncertainties around bearing in mind that my tinkering so far has not done a lot other than burn transfers.

[happyhoppy]

Some great matches there and we have our first draw so that will be played in this double game week fixtures from December 15th to Monday 21st, no excuses!

Draw for last 8 also made and we have 4 teams from each league! and will take place in first 2 weeks of February so save some transfers........

Cup has restarted! We’re playing the first legs this week and 2nd next.

If it works can you give me the Championship one, ta.

And concentrate on getting up here then you'll experience the pressure....

1st leg Scores (not near my spreadsheet)

Is Renton's egg name Man in the Egg? Got that noted on my spreadsheet but not here.

TenpinTerry v Wiseowl65 96-114
Lucky7s v Gutty 126-103
Top Banana v Darbyand 120-115

[Darbyand]

Renton is Beggbie.

[happyhoppy]

Thanks, all to play for in 2nd legs this week another double game week as they all are pretty much these days.

[hayesag]

ARE YOU FEELING LUCKY PUNK - as long as there are no more man city clean sheets to be had then yes

[Jester]

Rough on Jester, 3rd highest score of the week but not enough.

Didn't know anything about until now either.....
Time to concentrate on the league!!

[happyhoppy]

So here you go. The long awaited results and SF draw.

Renton edges out fellow Championship player Hayesag and is flying the flag for said league as the Premier class starts to show.....

Two Premier teams just beating (but beating all the same) two from the Championship despite the national league positions

In the other tie the all PL tie ended with an emphatic victory for Lucky7s as Guttys transfer less team finally stalls.

The SF draw sees him take on Top Banana and TenpinTerry take on the Egg newbie this season Renton.

Good luck guys!

[gutshot]

Well played lucky

[happyhoppy]

SF 1st leg starts tonight. Good luck. I’ve decided that they’ll be a egg cup mug going to the winner.

[happyhoppy]

1st legs completed, all to play for still.
