I've accepted the submissions given and the deadline has now passed. Before I get to the popular trends for the week I have to point out that I had to cut wrestlers from the squads of Scavenger XIII and linvoysblues as they had extra men (since we are no longer using 8 wrestlers for each squad).
As I noted last week:In the event that players fail to do this [submit squads], keep in mind the onus will be on ME to cut one of your players (and I will likely try to work out which extra you brought in last week as it seems the most reasonable thing). Ideally, you will cut your squads down in a way that satisfies yourselves.
And so, as promised, I have cut the extra picks from these squads meaning they now look like so:Scavenger XIII
Top:
Dean Ambrose
Roman Reigns
Seth Rollins > Kevin Owens (Sure why not? - O W E N S B O Y S)
Becky Lynch > Paige (Is Becky even still on this show?)
Mid:
Neville
Cesaro
BONUS: Big E (Not enough room in this roster to FEEL THE POWAH!)
Bottom:
Sin Cara
Captain: Reignslinvoysblues
Kevin Owens
Roman Reigns
Charlotte
Alberto Del Rio
Jimmy Uso
Jey Uso (C)
Sin Cara
(Bonus) Kalisto
Scoring will be based on the above line-ups. Here are the most popular picks for the week ahead:Popular trends - G.W. 21
Most popular Top Tier picks
1. Kevin Owens 13
2. Roman Reigns 9
3. Alberto Del Rio / Dean Ambrose 8
Most popular Mid-Tier picks
1. Jimmy Uso 5
2. Big E 4
= Neville 4
Most popular Bottom Tier picks
1. Kalisto 9
2. Sin Cara 3
3. Bo Dallas 1
It looks like most players have taken into consideration the WWE Title tournament as the four favourites to make the semi-final stage are the most supported in the top tier category.
Jimmy Uso has become the most popular mid-tier option; Kalisto remains the number one bottom tier pick.
My impression is that the scores this week for Raw will be very similar. I think this will be a week where Smackdown proves to be the big difference maker of the two shows.
Good luck, folks.0 -
4 gameweeks remaining...
An interesting, though mostly predictable, episode of Raw is done and dusted and now it's time to find out what effect it has had on the scoring. This week we knew many of the matches due to the WWE Title tournament brackets and a lot of players took that into account. Read on for the latest...
*Note - Raw spoilers below. Do not read further if you do not want news of Raw.*
First of all, the scores...Monday Night Raw scoresBounty Hunter..................21 pts

Raw Fallout
Bounty Hunter, Cheese Wagstaff and LeeJM all share the highest score for Raw this week; all four men correctly predicted the semi-finalists for the WWE Title tournament and were also boosted by having a New Day member pick up a win.
The average score for Raw this week was 15 points.
And now let's see what effect it has had on our league...
Gameweek 21 Standings (Post-Raw)1. Cheese Wagstaff................................................................567 points
2. LeeJM...............................................................................553 points

League Fallout
Credit is again due to Cheese Wagstaff who remains top of the pile. Those below him are waiting for a poor showing in order to pounce, but he has been in good form of late. His nearest rival LeeJM has kept up the pace, however, and the margin between first and second remains what it was: 14 points.
The only movement this week involved Bounty Hunter overtaking yours truly to move into the top four. It is extremely close just below the top two with only two points separating third from fifth. You would imagine there will be more movement after Smackdown is over.Raw results
Kevin Owens defeated Neville
Tyler Breeze defeated R-Truth
Dean Ambrose defeated Dolph Ziggler
The New Day defeated The Usos and Ryback via D.Q.
Roman Reigns defeated Cesaro
The Dudley Boyz defeated The Ascension
Alberto Del Rio defeated Kalisto
The Dudley Boyz get back to winning ways on Raw. No one has them in their line-up - time to reconsider? Overall, some pretty predictable results. Nice to see Tyler Breeze get his first Raw win.
New players
Anyone who wishes to play along can post up a seven-person squad and we will allocate you points level with the lowest score in the league.
That wraps up the results for this week's Raw. Smackdown should be much more unpredictable so I'm curious to see how things look after that. Bring it on...0 -
Quick question for anyone who has watched the end of Smackdown...Am I right in thinking that the result was a double count-out? The reason I ask is that I had seen spoilers which ruled the match a win for Reigns and Ambrose via D.Q.
It looked to me like the ref counts everyone out.0 -
well it's listed on wwe.com the same way you thought yourself although if you went the other way both yourself and myself would get more captain points so... you know what to do0

Smackdown is complete and with that we come to the end of Gameweek #21. Sorry it's later than usual but I had conflicting reports on the main event result. Fortunately WWE's website confirmed what I originally thought.
I'll begin this update by revealing the scores for Smackdown, and then where those scores have left our league table. I will then preview the Fantasy Cup Final which takes place next week, and explain the stip that is in store for Survivor Series. Read on for all the latest...

The highest score for this week's Smackdown goes to Hashtag_Heel. Victories for his captain Neville as well as Cesaro were mostly responsible.

League Fallout
Once again great credit is due to Cheese Wagstaff. The league leader defiantly moves a further four points ahead than he was after Raw, making a margin between himself and nearest challenger LeeJM of 18 points. As we move into the penultimate PPV week of the game, if ever there is a time to make ground on the leader it is now - but will anyone be able to stop him?
In other news, Bounty Hunter's run of form continues as he now moves into third place and is not far off second. It remains very tight just below top spot.
Stereomaniac meanwhile edges out linvoysblues for eighth place.Smackdown results
Cesaro defeated The Miz
Neville and The Dudley Boyz defeated Stardust and The Ascension
Tyler Breeze defeated Zack Ryder

Big E defeated Kalisto
Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose vs Kevin Owens and Alberto Del Rio ended in a double count-out.
A good win for Cesaro on Smackdown. Only two squads have the Swiss Superman. Is it time to consider getting him on board for the final weeks?
Here are the performers who were the best options for Gameweek #21:Top points scorers for Gameweek 211. Big E 8 points
2. The Dudley Boyz 8 points
3. Tyler Breeze 8 points
Note - appearance points included
Only four players have Big E in their ranks and he was a considerable help to them. But consider this: no player has either member of the Dudley Boyz, nor Tyler Breeze. That's a good amount of points that were on offer that went nowhere.
Time to consider these mid-tier options?On to Gameweek #22 (Fantasy Cup Final + Survivor Series)...
We started off with 12 players in the knock-out Cup and now we are down to our final two participants...PW Boards Fantasy Cup FinalLeeJM vs DM_7
The Final will be decided based upon the three shows that take place this week: Survivor Series, Raw and Smackdown.
In the event the final finishes as a draw, the player with the most points from his captaincy choice will be the winner.
Here is a brief reminder on how each man made the final:Group Stage
DM_7 emerged from Group B as the winner; he earned 7 points and finished ahead of A Brad Maddox Guy, Scavenger XIII, and thebostoncrab.
LeeJM was also a group winner, topping Group C, and being the only player to emerge from the groups with a 100 per cent record. His 9 points saw him finish ahead of linvoysblues, beakerjoe and myself.Knock-Out phase
And using the style of brackets that were in the ATH thread, here is a picture of how the last eight became the final two:LeeJM
Scavenger XIIILeeJM
A Brad Maddox GuyA Brad Maddox Guy
StereomaniacLeeJM
DM_7linvoysblues
Cheese Wagstafflinvoysblues
DM_7beakerjoe
DM_7Fantasy Cup Final - who wins?
It will be second place in the league vs sixth place in this week's final. If we regard the league as a barometer of form, and if we consider that in the group stages LeeJM was the strongest, then the signs would seem to suggest LeeJM is the favourite.
But hey, this is a Cup final! Anything could happen and we have seen strong favourites crash out already this year. There will be a lot of points to play for due to the PPV also being in the mix so it should be fascinating to see which man winds up the final survivor.
Whatever happens, the winner will have the satisfaction of knowing that when the game concludes - over six months since it started - that they, unlike most players, will have an achievement to take away from it. May the best man win.
*****Survivor Series Bonus Special*****
As I noted some weeks back, my original plan was to have a Survivor Series stip that involved the elimination match. Little did I know that this year the WWE would treat the elimination match as a bit of an afterthought. There will be a match at the PPV, but as I write this we still don't know who the participants will be.
So I decided to throw in a different bonus option. And it is simply this:Who leaves Survivor Series as the WWE World Heavyweight Champion?
Get it right and you earn an extra 3 points which could be handy when it's all said and done.
Now keep in mind you are NOT being asked who wins the WWE Title tournament - rather, who at the end of the night leaves with the belt. Will a certain ginger Dubliner be the one holding aloft the title at the end of the show?
Bookmakers seem to have it split pretty close as to whether Sheamus will cash in. Maybe he will and he'll win the belt; maybe he will cash in but lose. Maybe there will be no cash in and one of the guys in the tournament will leave with the title. All you have to determine is which guy has the title when the show goes off the air.
So your squad choice this week should look a bit like so:TOP TIER - X
TOP TIER - X
TOP TIER - X
TOP TIER - X
MID-TIER - X
MID-TIER - X
BOTTOM TIER - X
Your captain: X
Survivor Series Bonus: Who leaves as the Champion?: X
I hope that's straightforward. Remember: it's not about who wins the title tournament but who has the title when the show ends.
Deadline
As it's a PPV Week the deadline for Gameweek #22 will thus be on Sunday night before the first match on the Survivor Series card (this includes any pre-show match, so keep that in mind).
You therefore have today and all weekend to make up your minds.
Transfers and Captaincy
You can make up to 3 transfers to your squad each week, if you wish. These must be from the same tier. For example, a top tier guy for a top tier guy; a mid-tier guy for a mid-tier guy.
Please outline who you are transferring out and transferring in when posting your squads to make it easier for me to follow.
And don't forget to choose a captain who will score you double points (or cost you double points depending on how things go).
New players
Anyone who wishes to play along may do so by posting up a squad. We will allocate you a place and provide you points level with the lowest player on the leaderboard.
Good luck
With the exception of the final week, this week will have the most points on offer. It is therefore one of the most important weeks in the game. When it's over we will not only know who has won the first accolade of the game, but we will also know a lot more about our league table as we head into the final stages. Make your strategy count; gamble or play safe, it's up to you. Gameweek #22 is open for business.0 -

Just read Cesaro is injured. 10 mins past the deadline but since nothing has happened yet I'm gonna chance my arm & ask to change that transfer to Big E (understandable if this request is rejected)0

Unfortunately while I would allow it if the request had been made a little earlier, I think to allow it subsequent to the deadline would open up a can of worms. Sorry about that.
I share your pain as I too brought in Cesaro this week and had been hoping for big things from him.
Here are the top trends for the week ahead...Popular trends - G.W. 22Most popular Top Tier picks

A drop in Kevin Owens's popularity coincides with a small rise in Dean Ambrose's popularity; also a few players have thrown their support behind Tyler Breeze this week.
I'll have the Survivor Series update posted in a little while.0 -
No catching Mr Wagstaff for me as once again despite both of us making subs the past two weeks I think we again ended up with the same lineup. Could be an issue for a few people as for instance I was happy with Kalisto's appearance despite not being pre-booked but then again almost everyone has him on their team. Similarily i'd be happy that my captain got an extra match but I think most had him as captain too. At least I was an early adopter for Tyler but I'd imagine a few may jump on the Prince Pretty bandwagon with Cesaro out.0

3 gameweeks remaining...
The first show of this three-show week, Survivor Series, has come and gone and it proved to be a memorable show.
For ourselves, this week not only sees the conclusion of the Fantasy Cup Final but also had a special PPV bonus on offer for anyone who could correctly predict who would leave the show as champion. Only one player guessed correctly and that was myself; as a result, I pocket an extra 3 points for that.
I will begin by revealing the latest score in the Cup Final, and then go on to show everyone's total scores for the PPV. Lastly, I'll highlight the latest in our league table. Read on for more...*Warning - Survivor Series spoilers lie below. Do not read further if you do not want the results from the PPV.*PW Boards Fantasy Cup Final (Latest Score)
FinalLeeJM 31 - 27 DM_7
Fantasy Cup Fallout
An exciting start to the final sees very little in it between the two men. DM_7's side have been hit by news that Cesaro looks to be out injured, but DM_7 does have a New Day member unlike LeeJM, and a strong week for the group could see him cut the lead back.
Keep an eye out on their captaincy choices this week too: DM_7 has gone with Roman Reigns; LeeJM has gone with Kevin Owens.

Some very big scores this week due to several stars doing double duty - triple duty in Reigns's case - and yours truly ended up with the highest score, helped by rightly predicting Sheamus to walk out of Survivor Series as the champion.

Yet again I find myself congratulating the leader Cheese Wagstaff who edges further ahead, now enjoying a lead of twenty points at the top. It is not an insurmountable lead, but time is running out to claw it back. Will we see the lead cut after Raw, or will it be further extended?
In other news, I edge ahead of A Brad Maddox Guy to take fourth place but it remains very close just below the top.

Sheamus is once again on top of the mountain, and with just two players having him in their squad will you be looking at him as an option for the remainder of the game?

Final
LeeJM 40 - 37 DM_7
Fantasy Cup Fallout
Raw has resulted in LeeJM's lead being narrowed by a point which means this final is going right down to the final show and will be decided based on what happens on Smackdown.
I mentioned previously that in the event of the final ending as a draw, the captaincy choice will separate the player. LeeJM stuck his captaincy on Kevin Owens who so far has scored 2 points this week; DM_7 has stuck his captaincy on Roman Reigns who so far has 10 points scored this week.
So it is safe to say if it ends in a draw then DM_7 will win it on the captaincy call. That means LeeJM will have to hold on to his lead in order to win the tournament. Can he do it or will DM_7 claw back to win?
I'm looking forward to Smackdown to find out the answer.

League Fallout
Once more kudos is due to Cheese Wagstaff who further extends his lead at the top, now enjoying a strong lead of twenty-three points. He is not over the finishing line just yet but it will take a special comeback to deny him. Perhaps now is the time for his rivals to gamble and consider some radical change-ups to their squads in order to try and gain some ground.
The other main news concerns Bounty Hunter who now moves level with LeeJM in second place. It remains very congested just below top spot.Raw results
Bray Wyatt and Luke Harper defeated The Dudley Boyz
Sasha Banks defeated Becky Lynch
Neville defeated Mark Henry
Goldust and The Prime Time Players defeated Stardust and The Ascension
Charlotte vs Paige ended in a double count-out
Dean Ambrose and Dolph Ziggler defeated Kevin Owens and Tyler Breeze
Roman Reigns defeated Rusev via D.Q.
Sasha Banks picks up a decent win. Currently no player has her in their squad. Is she worth turning to for the final few weeks? Also Rusev's return from injury may see a few players turn to the Bulgarian.
Meanwhile, it looks like Goldust is back on a regular basis. I aim to add him as a middle-tier option later in the week.New players
Anyone who wishes to play along before the game concludes is welcome to do so. Just post up a seven-person squad and we will allocate you points level with the lowest score in the league.
That finishes the Raw update. On to Smackdown for the latest in the league and to see whether LeeJM or DM_7 gets the bragging rights and wins the final.0 -
I will have the Smackdown results up shortly but before that I want to add Goldust to the game.
He has picked up two wins out of two since his return and he is available as a mid-tier option.

Smackdown has come and gone and for us that means the conclusion of not only the gameweek, but also the Fantasy Cup Final.
I can reveal that the final result was extraordinarily close and that there was almost nothing in it in the end.
For the result, and the latest in the league, read on...

Fantasy Cup Fallout
Congratulations to the winner of the 2015 PW Boards Fantasy Cup...LeeJM!
In a nailbiting finish, DM_7 further bridged the gap to his opponent but was unable to overturn the deficit. To put into perspective how close this match was, DM_7 had a New Day member (Big E) whilst LeeJM did not; and so if the New Day had won on Smackdown then DM_7 would have been the winner! I hoped to see a dramatic final worthy of the contest and the two lads certainly provided it.
Commiserations to DM_7 who can be very happy with his performance in every round.

It's been a long road for LeeJM but he has proven himself the king of the knock-out tournament and he picks up the first achievement of the game this year. Whatever happens between now and the end he can relax somewhat in knowing he has something to show for his efforts. Well done to him.

League Fallout
The man at the top remains Cheese Wagstaff. Well done to him on finishing the week with a lead of 23 points. The league leader has thrown down the gauntlet as we enter the final three weeks of the contest and is daring the rest of us to chase him down.
The other news concerns second place where Bounty Hunter has taken the spot solely for himself; meanwhile LeeJM finds yours truly nestling up beside him in third place.Smackdown results
The Dudley Boyz defeated Erick Rowan and Braun Strowman via D.Q.
Paige defeated Becky Lynch
Jack Swagger defeated Alberto Del Rio via D.Q.
The Lucha Dragons defeated Big E and Kofi
Dean Ambrose defeated Tyler Breeze and Dolph Ziggler in a triple threat
Jack Swagger picks up a win, albeit it by D.Q.; no squad has him in their ranks. Is it time to consider getting him involved?
Paige gets back to winning ways as well. Maybe it is time to consider her also. Only two squads have her currently.
Here are the performers who were the best options for Gameweek #22:Top points scorers for Gameweek 22
1. The Lucha Dragons 12 points
2. Dean Ambrose 10 points
= Roman Reigns 10 points
3. The Dudley Boyz 9 points
Note - appearance points included
The Lucha Dragons continue to show their worth and it's been a good week for the former Shield guys Reigns and Ambrose. Most players have these guys in theiir sides but only one squad has a member of The Dudley Boyz. Perhaps they are worth a punt at this late stage in the game?On to Gameweek #23...
Deadline
The deadline for everyone will be before the commencement of Monday Night Raw, so you have tonight, all weekend, plus Monday to make transfers and/or submit your squad.
Transfers and Captaincy
You can make up to 3 transfers to your squad each week, if you wish. These must be from the same tier. For example, a top tier guy for a top tier guy; a mid-tier guy for a mid-tier guy.
Please outline who you are transferring out and transferring in when posting your squads to make it easier for me to follow.
And don't forget to choose a captain who will score you double points.
New players
Anyone who wishes to play along before the game concludes is welcome to do so. Just post up a seven-person squad and we will allocate you points level with the lowest score in the league.
Good Luck
We've just three weeks left in the game and it's very much a game of catch-up in the league as Cheese Wagstaff looks to secure victory.
Can he be caught? I believe it's possible. With the remaining shows - that includes a final week with four shows (TLC PPV, Raw, Smackdown, and NXT Takeover:London) - that leaves us with 8 shows in total to play for. That's a lot of points in the mix. Of course, just because it can be done doesn't mean it will be done.
I reckon in these late stages it might be worth taking some risky moves to try and close gaps.
Choose your strategies well because Gameweek #23 is now open for business.
And congrats once again to LeeJM on his win.0 -

Well done LeeJM
Well deserved cup winner. Unbeaten throughout.
The one time I managed to top the leaderboard was thanks to Cesaro. His injury then hurt me in the cup. It's a funny old game.
Thanks (as always) to MNG for running a great competition.0 -
