TFF 2020-21 Two-Foot Challenge * payouts complete *

[gio]

I think (hope!) we both have the same player in the final game....?

I had burnt the transfers early too... got to the last game with one, but didn't work.

Well played Jester, congrats

Thanks! It got a little closer over the last few games than I would have liked tbh.... Your move for Wood in the semi-final was inspired, the only trouble was I was able to match him thus negating his points. My plan to bring back Kane and Bale for Spurs last game back fired when I couldn't afford both - again, quite a twitchy game for me that one. My last choice was Perreira against Liverpool or Digne for Everton - neither scored heavily so didn't matter in the end as Metallica once said.
I assume you couldn't win the first prize anyway due to flying high in the league with your other team but as we all know, it's not the cash that counts...!
Was a great competition and regaining the cup after two seasons as runner-up has pretty much made my whole season!
Thanks Sam for all the hard work again!

You are the cups master!
