CULL 1, WEEK 1, FINAL SCORES

One week down and, despite having no real form to go on, we all picked some pretty good, high scoring teams (well maybe not Vid and MagicIsay). Thanks to the 3-way tie for 11th there are 13 immunities for next week's cull. 57 points were needed to get in that top half. I did it by getting 28 of my 60 points on that last day. Quite apt that WHam players got me that golden ticket into Club Tropicana (drinks are free but nibbles are extra).

13 of you (including late entrant trampie - welcome aboard!) duke it out next week together with any...

NEW ENTRANTS - Welcome until next kick off - Saturday 12:30 Deadline

Hope the table is correct, feel free to beta test it for me and shout out the errors!

First week points are forgotten. It all goes on weekly scores and we now move on to week 2 where everybody involved starts again on 0.

Oh ok, all the same I thought my score would be up, for the record I had 80pts.

Well, dodged a bullet there. Like Murf got a load of points on Sunday and just crept in :)

Doesn't bode well for future weeks though

Yep. First cull on Monday. Everybody up for it except the lucky 13 in green above who have beach towels reserving their spots on the Club Tropicana sunloungers for their weekend break.

Depending on numbers, we may have a handful of similar 2 week cull cycles before the action really starts and we get back to shedding blood each and every week.

(All done on TFF gameweeks, Tue-Mon, however many games there are (not PremierLeague 'sets') - subject to a minimum number which I may have once stated somewhere and could be 3 or 4 or 5 or something like that).

Should have just done the Chelsea starting 11, worth 76 points, like I usually do and it's not a problem until the December crumble :-)

You and me both. Serious bonus.

The club Tropicana doorman did not like the look of my trainers but I made it last through the door.

Free drinks!

26 teams in now.

Still open for new entrants until the door slams shut (just like the transfer window does but with kilts not yellow ties) at 12:30 tomorrow. SIGN UP NOW!

So we will have a similar calendar to last year when we had 28 entrants. If I also do one less Zombie Reanimation (one was too near the end of last season) then could be up to 3 fewer culls at the start of the season which would mean more 2 week culls at the start (assuming same number of TFF gameweeks - not checked yet). All will be confirmed over the weekend once the entry is finalised.

CULL 1, WEEK 2, HOW IT WORKS

Quick recap of the rules re this weekend.

The top scores from last weekend (in green/black below) are immune from the cull and are being treated to a weekend off with some spa type pampering at Club Tropicana (Drinks are free. Bar snacks are available (appropriately including Green and Blacks chocolate), order from the bar, prices on the menu).

Those in pink/red below are facing the prospect of a cull, together with any newcomers (sign up now! deadline 12:30!). Quite simply the lowest scorer, based solely on this weekend's score, goes out, never to be seen again unless they win zombie reanimation at a later date. Complicated tie-break rules are available if this sounds too simple.

CULL 1, WEEK 2, DAY 1 SCORES

Just 4 games to go but featuring some big/popular FF teams. Zip and Spiny appear to have made Rapid Starts between them to score over 40 but 5 under 20 and theo29 only being theo9 doesn't bode well. 360 minutes to turn that around.

The Claymore of Damocles dangles above your heads.

Everyone loses points as Man U concede and Fernandes gets booked. Lots of reverse engineering possible here!

CULL 1, WEEK 2, DAY 2 SCORES

So, who has done the panic transfers? Who needs to?

Well, theo29 certainly needs points as he only has 14. workieticket not much better with 18. What is safe? 25? probably not. 29? Risky.... 33? Can you take the chance?

Whoever buys whoever and whoever scores whatever we do know that after just 90 more minutes of footie there will be the first blood letting of the year. Yours? Just keep it kinda tidy and don't come near our deckchairs with any spurting wounds or anything, ta.

Just 4 points each for our bottom three (at 1-0). Nobody panicking then....

Chazzy playing it cool thinking 33 is safe. It quite probably is....

CULL 1, WEEK 2, FINAL SCORES

Despite the best efforts of Mins and workieticket who posted cull-worthy scores the honour of being the first eligible (ex-)player for the Zombie Reanimations is theo29 who scored a barely legal 21.

Ha1XX.png

(I'll do the timetable later this week but it looks like being another 2 week cull with immunity available after this weekend which allows a long stay at Club Tropicana for the top 12 week 3 scorers throughout the International Break and beyond with the rest left to duke it out in week 4. To be confirmed)

CULL 2, WEEK 1 IS GO

This will be another 2 week culling process.

- 25 survivors start today
- Top 12 scorers this weekend get immunity and a ticket to Club Tropicana (drinks are free and, what's more, it is not in the UK's covid red zone) subject to tie-break rules
- The lowest scorers not residing at Club Tropicana (snacks extra) fight it out over the weekend after the international break with the lowest scorer being our second cull victim

Right, I'm off to hide behind the sofa while those of you with Man City attackers get a nice head start.

CULL 2, WEEK 1, EARLY DOORS SCORES!

4 - GeoffV, Yorkshire Dragon, MagicIsay, sibrown4, Vid
2 - workieticket
0 - most of us

Interesting - only 6 scorers

EDIT - thought the above was at 0-0 but it may have been at 1-0. At 2-0 it is:

4 - GeoffV, Yorkshire Dragon, sibrown4, Vid
3 - MagicIsay
2 - workieticket
0 - most of us

(Only logical reverse engineering explanation at 2-0 of MIS's 3 is an Arsenal defender/keeper on 1 and someone else on 2 so the above must have been at 1-0 not 0-0??? I think....)

Probably :lol:

Glad nobody on here seems to have any of the first 2 goals scorers or assisters!

EDIT - The third goal seems to have given 3pts to a couple of Grealish owners

CULL 2, WEEK 1, DAY 1 SCORES

Just 3 games to go and over half the field are within 5 points of the immunity split. 29 points is currently the cut off for Club Tropicana membership (currently a tie-break but that will change so I've just put those on 29 in grey in the table).

45 was needed for immunity. Up by 16 on last night.

I got a goal and a CS to get 16 but that apparently was only average and I couldn't climb enough to move up. Hey ho, never liked holidaying at the same resort twice anyway.
