The cup - 24/25

Post by Salte2 »

Didn't realize until after this GW (16) that the overall cup has already kicked off.
I got a bye in GW 15 (Round of 16777216) due to GW 14 score.

In GW 16 (Round of 8388608) I encountered TEAM NEMESIS. Hasn't made a transfer all season. Chis Wood set and forget captain (Pickford VC). Saka on the bench (along with J Alvarez). After all my tinkering, considerations an planning throughout the season, I managed to beat this dead team by 9 points! (70-61).

Ah the cup - that competition where you face a random dead team that captains DCL the week he scores a hatrick. Frustration guaranteed.

I have just looked at who i play in the next round of the cup and my opponent last transfer was Wood out DCL in . He scored 65 points last week so it was good job i did not play him last week as i scored 59 points.

Bye in R15 and a win in R16 sees me through so far.

R17 and I'm drawn against an inactive team with OR ~9.5m has (c) on Spurs' Will Lankshear and (vc) with Villas keeper Martínez.

I'm feeling fairly confident but you never know :)

Playing an unmanaged team that has this defence:

But they've captained Haaland so should be easy win.

Of course, FPL wouldn't be FPL for me without an early departure in the cup.

Good luck to those still in it.

PS what does this mean where it says I "progressed with a bye due to their GW14 score."? :?

Your GW14 score was good enough to give you entry to the cup with a bye ( no opponent in GW15) so progressing to GW16 for the match with mimi-1*SLOVAN

After Saturdays matches, my opponent (0R 9.4M) has 49 points and a GW rank of 322k. He will also get Ainas 15 points of his bench.
That means 5 of my remaining players will have to score a total of 51 points to avoid an early exit.

Thanks! Sounds so weird to progress with a bye. Anyways, first match of the cup and already that was my downfall. Same old tune, different year.

Not going particularly well - up against an active team who has tc'ed Salah

Me = Raya, Gabriel, Fernandes, Salah(c) + 3pts
Oppo = Flekken, Alexander-Arnold, Mbeumo & Salah(tc)

Dodgy :(
