I've been keeping a close eye on you as well, you are the top ranked regular contributor this year (Sekkelly is more a pop in every once in a while to gloat sort of fella:p), so it would be an honour to beat you soundly once more.
My paddling stick is a bit worn out after Lemlin but I'll dust it down for you if needs be;)

Your maths must be off. If you were to aggregate score our two games in the FSA Premier League, its you that got the paddling :cool:

Will you be doing a live draw over skype or something ?

Mr P is out so I might let him do the draw. Last year I got FutureGuy to do it after he went out.

Stops any allegations of bias or collusion when I win it out!

I don't like the look of a lot of those runners up! It'll be like winning the group in the real Champions League and getting drawn against Bayern Munich in the last 16

9 through out of 17 - not sure on 2 as Group A results not up yet. Good chance I've messed something up in the above.

Edit - 11 out of 19 through.

3 play offs for first vs second:

D Alchemist33 Dearg81
E Iusedtolikebusts F1ngers
F Richieffff Hackers

Lemlin

El Festino's team and mine are fairly similar. We both have Foster, PVA, Bellerin, Silva, Sanchez, Hazard, Eriksen and Kun.

It'll probably come down to his Terry, Alder, Giroud and Sakho vs my Jones, Wolly, Sturridge and Kane, although I'd expect he'll be transferring Kane in.

His defence is strong. I'd be happy fielding any three of his back five ofn PVA, Bellerin, Dawson, Alder and Terry.

I was away last weekend so missed the action unfolding.. Expected you to come out on top to force the playoff..

Your right, Kane is in. I had two free transfers and have brought in Kane and Austin.

Torn on captain. I would prefer to captain Aguero but I am lacking the b@llS to do it!

You have three genuine captain options in Sturridge, Aguero and Kane.

Will prob line out as follows (still not certain on defence):
Foster
Terry Bellerin Dawson
Sanchez Hazard Silva Eriksen
Austin Aguero Kane

Ziegler1988

Lemlin up two points on El Festino who still has Austin to play. What happens if it's a draw?

I'm actually two behind because I had a -4. I'm on 57(-4). El Festino is on 55. El Festino wins unless Charlie Austin does something drastic.

Less than 60 min red card or an own goal and yellow then :pac:

I have an 8 point cushion in my play off with Iusedtolikebusts.

I'm 55 + 4 + Philips to Iusedtolikebusts 51 + Airricksun.

Eriksen is due a haul, so could be tight.

I have Austin aswell. So its basically Phillips +8 against eriksen and Austin. Should be close alright. Id be a bit fearful of eriksen starting.

Group G

Final positions acquired last GW.

Group H

El festino - Lemlin : 85 - 85 (-4)

CrabieCrawford 13
El festino 9 (6)
Lemlin 9 (3)
Posada 4

Lemlin and El festino offered us a dramatic finale ending up in a crazy 85-85 draw but Lemlin taking a 4 pts hit gave the edge to El festino.
They both got Kane in and sold Giroud (respectively for Kane & Austin). In the end, the difference was El festino already owning Silva (Lemlin took a 4 pts hit to bring him in for Johnson) :eek:. Drama at its peak .

---

By the way, would any of the 16 "losers" be interested in a "Europa League" follow up to this competition? I guess we could follow the format of the main competition (the 3rd finishers seeded and not meeting the 4th from their group). Any interest? Or am I trying too hard ?

My 4 point hit was actually Bertrand in for Jones. I had 2 transfers and it was the third.

What ultimately cost me was Wolly going off injured but that's the breaks.

Much like Ireland with the cricket. I'm happy just to qualify!

Admittedly but if you had had Silva you'd haven't "needed" to take the -4 whatever may have happened to Wolly and your other 10 players .

All Gooner matchup against G1032. It will mark a change for one of us to enjoy a two legged knockout tie

Anyone having an easy day on work that would be able to post Team ID with the draw?

Ah you're sh!tting me?

I called it already. My 'reward' for topping the group would be a tie against the likes of the Bayern Munich of FSA.

Well, best of luck Ziegler! Arsenal going to win in the last 16 of the Champions League at long last!!

Have a fighting chance here even though I'm over 10k behind official rankings.

Tie looks even on teams but I will start on -4 but i fully expect to overcome that

Rikand

GG Crabie. Best of luck in the next round

G1032

Ziegler is only ranked 747th in the world. So that's just the 38,000 places between us.

I do have a chance though. I'll need Eriksen stay quiet. I'll have to hope my probable Yaya to Silva transfer works out and I'll need Sturridge to bang in a couple of goals for me.

It would be one hell of a giant killing!

I got Futureguy. Ah sh**e!!!

Current rankings mean nothing so please TaytoCrisps don't come on here suggesting it's David V Goliath;)

You have a better team than me and much more money.

It's going to be very difficult for me to progress here.
