Similar enough teams so going be close- be harsh if that Sturidge assist decides it

What's your team I'd skippy? The ID above is wrong.

On current BPS we're tied! Your Ivan and Coutinho vs. my Terry and Costa(c)

Think I might be ok. Just a quick look.

50 v46 and I had 3 pt lead.

Ivan and Costa v Terry and Austin.


Berty and Eriksen clawed me back from defeat.

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

Me opting for Kane looks to have put enough space between us with your Costa vs my Austin tomorrow.

I need Costa to outscore Austin by 14 points to tie it I think. That's a hat trick at least.

Highly unlikely unfortunately. Ah well at least I get to do a runner with the last longest loots

Don't worry Kev, Costa will do his part with a 20 pointer tomorrow

As a Chelsea fan I want him to get back to his scoring ways, but wouldn't be sad to see him subbed after grabbing just the one goal

spock.

spock 53(-4) V 49 PARlance

So a draw today but I'm still 5 points down from last week. Going to need a miracle from Ivanovic tomorrow:

spock: Ivanovic
PARlance: Jones,Green,Austin +5

AdpRo

Think I am 7 pts ahead of Boots after today with his Terry and Hazard (C) v my Terry, Hazard, Costa. If Haz has a quite day I won't complain!

Unless my lads go all French crazy on me, I should be fine
One of them will get sent off just to make it interesting!

What I need:
A Phil Jones own goal, Green red card, and Austin missed pen. :pac:

Sooner or Later

Congrats to tom k.

I had it all to do but my captaining Aguero v his Kane gave him a comfortable win.

I haven't had a great day due to not captaining Kane, but just logged on to see jebforever hasn't either!!
Holding a 22 pt lead with my Costa up against a Captained Rooney and Zouma.

dahat

qwabercd (226872) vs Dahat (35074)

73 - 84 total score so far.

qwabercd has Terry,Austin and Hazard
I Have Ivanovic,Costa and Hazard plus 11pts.

I look home and hosed but you never know.

F1ngers

I'm up against Hackers by 10 points.
He has Costa left and I have Sturridge.

As it stands it looks like I'll be relinquishing my title unless Chelsea get a few penalties tomorrow!

I'm absolutely raging with myself now for taking that hit to do Sturridge to Benteke. Stupid stupid stupid. I'd be 4 ahead and still have a striker to play.

Even if both Costa and Terry don't score or assist I'll need an assist from either Ivanovic or Couthino (unless Costa gets a yellow and ends on 1 point - which would leave us tied)
There is no rule written in the OP to determine winner in event of a tie.

Iused2likebusts

I need ivan and austin to outscore terry and bruce by 7 pts to level the scores with richiefff.
What happens if its a draw on aggregate score?

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

This is from the playoff round. I assume it applies in the knockout rounds aswell.

I hope not, that is a completely unfair way to solve it.
There are two legs, it should go on away points, if it's still tied, toss of a coin.

Ziegler1988

Anyone who benefited from that Studge assist loses the tiebreaker

Goals scored over the two legs maybe but I don't see how performance over a season is a worse tiebreaker than a coin flip

Iused2likebusts

I'd let next gw's score be the tie break make the draw anyway and whoever gets the highest score next week continues on in the 2 legged affair.

Performance over a season is very unfair. It's a Cup, not a league!
Goals scored seems fair enough I think........

How is it unfair? It's the exact way FFS and some other cup competitions do it.

If it's a tie over two legs, the player performing better that season wins. I don't see how that is unfair.

I think it's more apt than a virtual coin toss.

It's unfair because this is a Cup Competition not a league so why should your league standing decide whether or not you progress in a Cup?
Just because other Cup Competitions are decided like this doesn't make it right.
Somebody might have had a horror start in the first 3 weeks of the season and because they did they get eliminated from a Cup competition in GW31???

Ties in The Fantasy Cup proper are decided on least transfers made and then goals scored iirc

Because IMO the league format is still what this game is all about. In the last round I would of went out to El Festino in a tie when I posted that but had no problem with it.

He's having the better season so deserves to go through.

If people would like, we can have a separate poll of there is a tie in the round.

As a united fan, I had mixed feelings on Rooney missing that penalty I have to admit

Looks like I am through unless Zouma outscores Costa by 22

Away points? Ah come on that's ridiculous! In real life football of course there's an advantage of playing home or away, but in fantasy that simply doesn't exist.

The rules were clearly stated before the league began so any reservations should have been raised then. We can look at alternative ways next season in my opinion.

Ziegler1988

If Mignolet can steal that bap from Coutinho I'm 5 points down with Costa(c) and Terry against Ivan. Come on Diego

They were also in place in last season's Champions Cup.

There was no rule stated about a tie in the knockout stages.........! Just that we might have to go to a vote to decide

GLaDOS

My game vs Pokerking:

Pokerking: 29 + 40 = 69 with Zouma + Hazard

Myself: 25 + 68 (-4) = 93 with Azpi, Hazard and Costa

Yun and Taylor due to come in for Zouma and Azpi respectively.

Have this won, barring something crazy happening.

Doesn't look good for me. That - 4 for Sturridge to Benteke proving very very costly

That was more me neglecting to post it by mistake tbh. Last season highest ranked player progressed.

Well that Costa assist puts an end to my involvement this year! Congrats Zielger. Go on and win it now!

G1032

I'm glad now that the - 4 to remove Sturridge is not what cost me. I'd have been raging with myself if it did

Ziegler1988

Still time for an Ivan brace, I'm not counting my chickens yet however unlikely

Rikand

in for a tight one with crabiecrawford myself.

I was down by a point for leg 1 but I'm up by 3 in the second leg.

He's got ivan, terry, haz and austin vs my hazard

That austin assist just pulled it a little closer, Sturridge on for 2 bonus i think, so looks like you'll be through unless something crazy happens.

I quite fancied my chances before todays games too.

Congrats to PARlance who beats me by about 10 points.

Officially marching on now. Good tie, I got lucky that Aguero blanked.
