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!

MNF this week won't be fun viewing for me with no one and your Coutinho+Studge. It will be a very bad start to both my GW and this tie if Austin and Punch blank in the 1245 kickoff.

Or it was just too tricky to do an open draw and remove people from the same group.

spock.

Up against PARlance. I have a 90k lead in the OR but of course that means nothing in a cup tie.

Probably more to do with impatient boards.ie posters and the demand on getting a draw up for them!

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

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

More worried about the amount of weeks you have a higher score than I do over the last 10 weeks, hopefully form doesn't come into it !

With a ranking off 22k you'd think there wouldn't be too many higher but it seems everyone I've played so far is above me

Nope, next round is fully open. I will try to keep teams who have already played apart though.

Most tournaments do it that way so it was good enough for me!

menoscemo

Tough draw against jebforever who has had 6 greens in the last 8 and is up to 3.7k. Our combined ORs are less than 4k!!

We would have drawn in the last GW.

I'm sure everyone that everyone is already a member, but FantasyFootballFix have just released their "Rivals" feature. Just put in your rivals Team Id and it'll show you your H2H during the gameweek and highlight differentials.

I know there's an app for this too, but this is web-based so is pretty handy

richieffff

Just threw busts ID into the rivals section, not looking too good, similar enough teams but his looks a lot better in paper

Sooner or Later

tom_k (4363) vs Sooner or Later (6720)

He is ranked 8002, I am ranked 37,382.

I think he may be slight favourite :P

We're closer than it looks, our teams are very similar with identical midfields and few differences in backs or forwards. You're on the up with 4 consecutive green arrows whereas I only halted the slide last GW after 4 consecutive red arrows.

Looks like it'll be close, good luck.

Ziegler1988

My Terry, Wolly (or Naughton), Puncheon, Eriksen, and Austin v G1032's Bellerin, Cawson, Coutinho, Yaya, and Studge. Hopefully Punch and Austin can give me a nice head start in the early match.

spock.

Both me and PARlance took a -4 hit this week. We have 6 players in common inc captain Aguero

Me: Ozil Bellerin Ivanovic Eriksen Sterling
PARlance: Austin Sanchez Cazorla Clyne Jones

F1ngers

Up against Hackers this weekend and below are our differentials.

Hackers: Eriksen, Austin

Me: Bellerin, Sturridge

There's 4 all LL ties in this round so a minimum of 4 will make it to the next round

G1032

So at 16:00 on Saturday it's Ziegler ahead in the first leg of our tie. His 1 point is enough to give him a 2 point lead!

I'd much rather be in your position though with one more player than me and more attackers.

alchemist33

At the quarter-way mark of this two-legged tie, I have 15 with 5 to play and Futureguy has 12 (-4) with 5 to play. Both of us have Boyd if a mid/forward doesn't play.

It's like Chelsea playing against Chelsea.

dahat

qwabercd (226872) vs Dahat (35074)

23 - 12 behind but qwabercd only has Kane and Hazard left whereas I have those two plus Bertrand,Ivanovic,Eriksen and Sturridge.

Hoping to have some sort of advantage going into second leg.

spock.

Now it looks like:
Me: Ivanovic Eriksen Sterling
PARlance: Clyne Jones(or 1pt) +5

A big score from Ivan would make a huge difference in this tie.


Edit: Feckin Jones clean sheet.
Need 7 pts from Sterling to get a draw from the 1st leg.

After today it is. 27- 24 withy Sturridge left so all to play for in the second leg.

Ziegler1988

Ziegler1988 18+Naughton

Big match tomorrow, hope I can keep the 1st leg deficit small.

If Naughton keeps a cleanie you just might have a first leg lead!!

Sooner or Later

Big advantage to tom k after first leg leading 33 - 21

Rikand

Crabie 6 ahead of me but i have sturridge to play. Come on DanDan!

GLaDOS

Pokerking holds a slim 4 point lead over me this week, as we both only have Sterling left to play. All to play for next week.

menoscemo

Very tight in my first leg against jebforever.
I am 29 all in vs his 24 + Sturridge

Sturridge hits the post from a Coutinho pass. When your luck is out your luck is out.

Edit: Sturridge 'assist' counts!! It's not quite the 10 points I'd have gotten if he scored when he hit the post but I'll take it. When your luck is in your luck is in!

spock.

spock 21(25-4) V PARlance 26(30-4)

I'm looking at another hit this week so essentially 9 points down. Going to be tough to go through now.

Iused2likebusts

richiefff leads me 33 28 going into the 2nd leg. If foster is injured he will have no gk next week. My defence is marginally better if wolly is fit. Captain choice will more than likely win it.

29 apiece given Stuuridge's dodgy assist.

All to play for in the second leg....

9 point deficit. In true Arsenal style, I'll probably lose the tie by one point.

Worst bloody transfer of the season getting foster in, and I'd agree with your defence being much better, rest of the team is very similar

Oh ye just remembered now you took out Heaton on paper that was a good move.

F1ngers

I lead Hackers 34 - 26 at half time.

He has Myhill as back up to Foster, I have Hamer(:o).

Zero points from no keeper could be better than sending Myhill out to face City. :pac:

alchemist33

I scored 28 to Futureguy's 24 (-4). A narrow lead and FG has enough big player differentials to pull it back.

skippy15

Holding a 7 point lead over Dearg,
Similar enough teams so going be close- be harsh if that Sturidge assist decides it

AdMMM

8 points in it between me and KevIRL. It's very easy to outscore someone by 8 points... I just hope it's me doing the outscoring!

8 points won't be enough though. 31-21 at the mo....

My lead is down to 5. Took a 4 point hit last night. I'd no more patience for my 21.9m Sturridge/Yaya combo

Have taken my eye of the ball these last few weeks.. Very much casual mode but I see I've a slight lead going into this week... best of luck to myself

You actually have a 9 point (not 5) lead because I've taken a -4 hit again this week.
It may all come down to my Ivanovic vs your Austin on Sunday.

As long as you didn't bring in Phil Jones then I think I'm safe

I think it comes down to this:

You: Aguero Sanchez Cazorla Clyne Jones Austin Green + 9

Me: Ozil Eriksen Mane(x2) Forster Bertrand Ivanovic

An early Aguero blank would give me a fighting chance!

qwabercd

Looks to be tight between dahat and me, probably slight edge to dahat with Costa over Austin. How many points am I behind from last week? 3ish?
