Made it through to the next round despite Kane's poor performance. From originally more than 2m I am now down to last 16k. However, next round will be very tricky. Can CR7 finally deliver? I am not sure whom to captain.Lucky wrote: β06 Feb 2022, 14:49 Whilst I dropped out in the first round of the overall cup, I have survived 5 rounds in the Chelsea Cup which is my best cup run so far. Round 3 and 4 I was saved on the final day with a good captain choice each (Bowen and Kane). Next round could be a nail-biter again with probably KDB vs Kane captain choice.

Re: The Cup
Overall - GW26 - round of 8192
Up against an active team who's on a 10 week green arrow tear. Similar teams - he has a FH &TC left so chances we both TC Salah. It will be down to our few differences

Re: The Cup
Thanks
Oppo has helped me as much as they can by taking a -24 to my -4. Their team is possibly a bit stronger with more dblers - much depends on this City-Spurs game in which I have 3 to their 1. They also did Mane(tc) to my Salah(tc). All to play for but I have a decent shot

Hanging on. Could have done without Mane's late plunder.
Me 124(-4)
Ramsdale

Coady
Oppo 146(-24)
Ramsdale
Saiss
Jimenez
0-0 would work but not feeling particularly confident.

Re: The Cup
For me it looks more comfortable in the Chelsea cup. It is also TC vs FH, with the score 154 (-4) to 113, and he gets Raphinha (7) from the bench. But I still fear some of his players.
Me: Ramsdale Coady Jimenez
Him: Ramsdale Kilman Gabriel ESR Jimenez
30 is a comfortable lead, but a CS for Arsenal and I would start worrying.
Good luck to all still involved in the cups.

1) Level on points at 1-1,
2) Jimenez gets a YC, I go 1 point ahead,
3) Lacazette scores, head in hands,
4) Changed to OG, Sa OG and 2 goals conceded cancels Laca assist.
I win by 1 point!
