So Raw has come and gone and that brings us to the halfway stage of Gameweek 11. It has proved to be quite a close start to the week and to illustrate that let's have a look at how our league table is shaping up.*Note - Raw spoilers below. Do not read further if you do not want news of Raw.*
Gameweek 11 Standings (Post-Raw)1. Cheese Wagstaff................................................................272 points
2. Mr.Nice Guy......................................................................269 points
3. A Brad Maddox Guy............................................................257 points
4. DM_7...............................................................................253 points
5. Bounty Hunter....................................................................252 points
6. LeeJM...............................................................................243 points
7. linvoysblues......................................................................236 points
8. Scavenger XIII..................................................................233 points
9. Stereomaniac....................................................................193 points
10. beakerjoe........................................................................187 points
11. Hashtag_Heel...................................................................186 points
12. thebostoncrab..................................................................171 points
13. Zemuppet........................................................................150 points
Raw Fallout
The league leader remains Cheese Wagstaff who edges out a little bit further to a margin of 3 points.
As touched on above, this was a pretty scrappy Raw for us with no player pulling ahead with any whopping big majority. The highest scores were shared by both A Brad Maddox Guy and linvoysblues who each bagged 13 points; both were helped by having Bubba Ray and each had victories from two top tier guys which helped them get their scores. The scores help A Brad Maddox Guy edge out a little bit in third spot, whilst linvoysblues pushes forward into seventh.
The fact that there was not a whole lot between players this week can be seen by the average score for Raw which was just 9 pts.Raw results
Sasha Banks defeated Paige
Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose defeated The Ascension
Ryback defeated Seth Rollins
Randy Orton defeated Sheamus
The Dudley Boyz defeated Los Matadores
Cesaro vs Miz ended in a double count-out
John Cena and the Prime Time Players defeated Seth Rollins, Big E and Kofi
In a harsh turn of events for Seth Rollins owners, he features twice but loses both times. He still earns two appearance points though.
Elsewhere the Dudley Boyz continue to be booked well, although hopes for better things for The Ascension have been dented with a loss. Still, perhaps they will have better luck on Smackdown.
New entrants
New entrants will be accepted if they post up a seven-person squad. We will allocate you points level with the lowest score in the league and let you work your way up the leaderboard.
That's it for this week's Raw update. On now to Smackdown to determine the final standings for the week.0 -

Smackdown is in the books bringing us to the end of Gameweek 11 and and what a strange show it turned out to be. With only three matches having finishes it meant there were big differences in the scores this week ranging from very low to very high. As you can imagine it has had a massive effect on our league table. Read on for more...
*Note - Smackdown spoilers below. Do not read further if you do not want news of Smackdown.*

Smackdown Fallout
Well we have a new leader sitting op of the table and that leader is...me! For the first time in the game I make it to the top and become only the third player to reach this position. My score of 18 points was the highest of the week and came largely due to my gamble of sticking the captaincy on Konnor (which earned me 12 pts alone), plus a win for Cesaro.
The second highest score of the week went to Bounty Hunter with 16 pts scored; he too had Konnor in his team and also benefitted from victories by Rollins and Cesaro.
With WWE offering up 5 matches and having two of them be non-finishes, essentially if any of your guys won you were doing well.
The average score this week was 7 pts.Smackdown results
Cesaro defeated Miz
Paige vs Sasha Banks ended in a no-contest
The New Day vs Jimmy Uso, Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns ended in a no-contest
The Ascension defeated The Lucha Dragons
Seth Rollins defeated Ryback
So after being squashed on Raw, The Ascension are finally starting to look decent value. Will you be jumping on the Cosmic bandwagon?
Elsewhere Cesaro gets back on track with a win whilst Rollins also picks up a welcome victory.On to Gameweek # 12 (Fantasy Cup's final group ties)...
Well folks, it’s crunch time. We’ve reached the final set of ties in the groups and, as I noted a fortnight ago, everybody is still in with a chance of reaching the quarter-final stage.
8 players will advance: the top two in each group plus the two best third-placed players. We already know two players have guaranteed a spot: DM_7 and LeeJM. There is still something for these lads to play for though since the group winners and the best runner-up will be seeded for the quarter-final draw which could make for a handier match-up.
4 players will be eliminated when the week is up. Who will miss out? Here is the final set of fixtures and how thing stand:Gameweek #12 Cup Ties
Group A
Group A|P|W|D|L|Score|Pts
Cheese Wagstaff|2|1|1|0|50|4|
Stereomaniac|2|1|0|1|32|3|
Bounty Hunter|2|0|2|0|60|2|
Hashtag_Heel|2|0|1|1|46|1|
Hashtag_Heel vs Cheese Wagstaff
Bounty Hunter vs Stereomaniac
This group is very exciting with no one guaranteed a place in the last 8 just yet. You would think it’s a must-win game for Hashtag_Heel, whilst in the other tie neither Stereomaniac nor Bounty Hunter will want to risk finishing third; a win for either will guarantee qualification.Group BGroup B|P|W|D|L|Score|Pts
DM_7|2|2|0|0|49|6|
A Brad Maddox Guy|2|1|0|1|53|3|
Scavenger XIII|2|1|0|1|53|3|
thebostoncrab|2|0|0|2|22|0|
thebostoncrab vs A Brad Maddox Guy
Scavenger XIII vs DM_7
DM_7 as noted is already through as even if he finishes third his points tally is big enough to progress; the question is who will join him from Group B. It’s a very tight battle for second currently with the head-to-head record all that separates A Brad Maddox Guy and Scavenger XIII.Group C
Group C|P|W|D|L|Score|Pts
LeeJM|2|2|0|0|55|6|
linvoysblues|2|1|1|0|54|4|
Mr.Nice Guy|2|0|1|1|63|1|
beakerjoe|2|0|0|2|35|0|
beakerjoe vs Mr.Nice Guy
linvoysblues vs LeeJM
LeeJM is through as he will finish in the top two no matter what, but will linvoysblues beat him to top spot? Elsewhere I will be relying on a first win and hoping that either Lee beats linvoysblues, or else I’ll have to take my chances via the back-door route in third.
As you can see, there’s plenty for all to play for and I’m keen to see how it plays out by next week.
Deadline
The deadline will be before the commencement of Monday Night Raw, so you have all weekend plus Monday to make transfers and/or submit your squad.
Transfers and Captaincy
You know the score. 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
Entry to the Cup is now closed but anyone who wishes to play in the league can do so by posting a squad. We will allocate you a place and provide you points level with the lowest player on the leaderboard so you can work your way up the table.
Good luck
Here’s hoping for some cracking entertainment this week that will have us on the edge of our seats. May the best men win.0 -

Raw has come and gone and that means we've reached not only the halfway stage of Gameweek 12, but also the halfway stage of the game overall. And what a dramatic start to the week it has been as our league table undergoes big changes whilst the Cup games paint a very interesting picture of things to come. How did you get on, you ask? Read on for more....*Note - Raw spoilers below. Do not read further if you do not want news of Raw.*
Gameweek 12 Standings (Post-Raw)1. Cheese Wagstaff................................................................294 points
2. Mr.Nice Guy......................................................................291 points

Raw Fallout (League)
My time at the top lasted very briefly as we see how quickly things can change in this game. Having had the best score for Smackdown, I followed that up with the joint-lowest score for Raw and that means I fall to second place as that man again Cheese Wagstaff wrestles back the lead at the top of the table. Credit to him for that.
Highest score for the week went to Stereomaniac with a whopping 23 points scored. Having both members of the New Day (with one as captain) helped bring home the bulk of the score.
Just behind him was Bounty Hunter with an impressive 22 points scored, and he too benefitted from sticking the captaincy on a New Day member (Big E) plus having double-duty John Cena in his team.
Others who scored well for Raw were A Brad Maddox Guy and beakerjoe with 21 and 20 points respectively.
The average score for Raw this week was 13 points.
Raw Fallout (Fantasy Cup)
For a reminder of how things stand in the groups, see the bottom of this post.
With Smackdown still to take place it's pretty much half-time in the ties. Here is how things look at the moment:Gameweek #12 Cup Ties (Post-Raw)
Group A
Hashtag_Heel 5 - 18 Cheese Wagstaff
Bounty Hunter 22 - 23 Stereomaniac
Group B
thebostoncrab 8 - 21 A Brad Maddox Guy
Scavenger XIII 5 - 7 DM_7
Group C
beakerjoe 20 - 4 Mr.Nice Guy
linvoysblues 4 - 17 LeeJM
Several players here are looking strong bets to take 3 points.
In Group A, Cheese Wagstaff looks to have a strong lead and will be favourite now to top the group. In the other tie, as mentioned above, both these lads have the highest scores for the week (couldn't write that script, could you?) and so it's anyone's guess who will take the spoils. Could Bounty Hunter wind up with a third draw? :pac:
In Group B, A Brad Maddox Guy has a healthy lead although I wouldn't say he's guaranteed the win just yet. In the other tie, anything could happen there.
As for Group C, LeeJM too has a healthy advantage but linvoysblues need not fret too much about being caught for second place. In the other tie I am being absolutely tonked by beakerjoe which means my chances of progression are almost zero. It looks like beakerjoe will now be the one who finishes third and he may yet have a sniff of qualification as one of the two best third-placed teams.Raw results
Big E and Kofi defeated The Prime Time Players
Sasha Banks defeated Paige
John Cena defeated Sheamus
Charlotte defeated Nikki Bella via D.Q.
Cesaro defeated Rusev
Sting defeated Big Show via D.Q.
John Cena and Sting defeated Big Show and Seth Rollins
Speaking as a non-Cena owner, can I just ask WWE did Cena really have to wrestle and win twice? TWICE?!
Elsewhere Cesaro picks up a strong win over Rusev, whilst Charlotte and Sasha are again presented strong.
I'm not sure if Sting will now be a regular on TV based on the Raw appearance; I have a feeling it might just be a once-off. If he does become a regular I'll add him but I'll wait a while to see what the plans for him are.
A lot of big name roster members did not have matches on Raw so it will be interesting to see if that changes for Smackdown.
New sign-ups
Entry to the Cup is now closed, but those who would like to get involved in the league may do so. We will allocate you points level with the lowest score in the league and let you work your way up the leaderboard.
That's it for now. On to Smackdown to see what effects it has on our league table and our cup games...0 -

Smackdown is done and dusted and this go-home show for Night of Champions is also the go-home show for many in our Cup game as four players are sent packing from the contest. Before we get to that there is also the matter of our league table which again has seen big changes. Read on for more...*Note - Smackdown spoilers below.

Smackdown Fallout (League)
Having been knocked off top spot after Raw, yours truly manages to regain top spot from Cheese Wagstaff although the margin is now just one point. It all looks very tight at the top though doesn't it, and with a PPV week coming up plenty of things could change.
I will detail the highest scorer for the week down below as I don't want to give away the results of the ties...
The average score for Smackdown was a lowly 6 pts.Smackdown results
Naomi and Sasha Banks defeated Paige and Becky Lynch
Kofi Kingston defeated D-Von Dudley
Big Show defeated Cesaro
Kevin Owens defeated Dolph Ziggler via D.Q.
Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose defeated Seth Rollins and Sheamus
A good win for Ambrose and Reigns, although Sheamus has been doing a lot of jobs of late. Wonder what that could mean...
Surprisingly strong win for Big Show too.
Smackdown Fallout (Fantasy Cup)
Smackdown's scores have now been added to the Raw scores so what follows below are the final scores for Gameweek 12 as well as the final group standings. How did you get on?Gameweek #12 Cup Ties (Results)

Hashtag_Heel|3|0|1|2|57|1|
Congrats to Cheese Wagstaff who wins Group A and finishes as a top seed for the quarter-final draw. He will be joined by Stereomaniac - who I can also reveal got the highest score for Smackdown this week with 12 points - and he qualifies automatically as runner-up. Well done to him as well.Group B
thebostoncrab 12 - 30 A Brad Maddox Guy

Congrats to DM_7 on winning Group B and he too will be seeded for the quarter-final draw. The man who joins him will be A Brad Maddox Guy and he will also be seeded for the quarter-final draw as he is the best runner-up from the groups. (Both A Brad Maddox Guy and Stereomaniac had 6 points but the superior score from the former's squad - 83 vs 67 - gave him the nod). Well done to both guys.Group C

Congrats to LeeJM on winning Group C - the only player to finish with a 100% record - and it makes him the last of the top seeds for the quarter-final draw. He will be joined in the next round by linvoysblues whose tally of 4 points secures the runner-up spot. Well done, guys.
So we have our six group winners and runners-up: Cheese Wagstaff, Stereomaniac, DM_7, A Brad Maddox Guy, LeeJM and linvoysblues.
We must now welcome the two players that will join them as the two best third-placed teams...Third Place Table|P|W|D|L|Score|Pts
Scavenger XIII|3|1|1|1|67|4|
beakerjoe|3|1|0|2|61|3|
Bounty Hunter|3|0|2|1|84|2|
Congratulations go to Scavenger XIII and beakerjoe who secure the remaining spots in the quarter-finals. beakerjoe's win over me in the latest game proved decisive in the end.
Spare a thought though for Bounty Hunter who despite having an enormous squad total score of 84 - the highest of any of the groups - nevertheless exits the competition. He was unlucky to find his opponents in terrific form when he played them.
So to recap, here are how things stand:Top Seeds
Cheese Wagstaff(Group A winner)
DM_7 (Group B winner)
LeeJM (Group C winner)
A Brad Maddox Guy (best runner-up)
2nd Seeds
Stereomaniac (Group A runner-up)
linvoysblues (Group C runner-up)
Scavenger XIII (via third-place route)
beakerjoe (via third place-route)
Eliminated
Hashtag_Heel
thebostoncrab
Mr.Nice Guy
Bounty Hunter
So we have our last 8 and all that remains is the draw for the quarter-finals. As I noted before, players who met in the group stages will be kept apart for the knock-out stage. The quarter-final match-ups will also be over two legs.
I aim to do the draw tomorrow. Plus, I will reveal info on the special bonus points that will be on offer for this weekend's Night of Champions PPV.
We're approaching the final stretch of the game now so I hope you're finding it good craic.
Congrats once again to those who made it through and commiserations to those of us who have to watch on from the sidelines.0 -
Alright folks the draw has been made for the quarter-finals of the PW Fantasy Cup and now it's time to see what lies ahead for the 8 qualifiers. As promised, those who met in the group stages were kept apart for this knockout phase.
Here is how the draw wound up:PW Boards Fantasy Cup Quarter-Finals
Quarter-Final 1
LeeJM vs Scavenger XIII
Quarter-Final 2
linvoysblues vs Cheese Wagstaff
Quarter-Final 3
beakerjoe vs DM_7
Quarter-Final 4
A Brad Maddox Guy vs Stereomaniac
Some tasty-looking match-ups in there for sure. After the way things went down in the groups I wouldn't have the guts right now to pick out any favourites.
I also did a draw to determine who the winners of each tie would face in order to plot a route to the final. That draw wound up like so:Winner of Quarter-Final 1 vs Winner of Quarter-Final 4
Winner of Quarter-Final 2 vs Winner of Quarter-Final 3
And so that meant a semi-final fixture line-up that looks like this:Semi-Final line-upLeeJM or Scavenger XIII vs A Brad Maddox Guy or Stereomaniac
linvoysblues or Cheese Wagstaff vs beakerjoe or DM_7
The quarter-final ties will take place over two legs with the first leg occurring on Gameweek #14 and the second leg on Gameweek #16.
In the event of a game finishing as a draw, the player with the most points from their captaincy choices over the two legs will advance.
In the event that this doesn't give us a winner, then a special one-off replay will determine the winner.
So that's about it, folks. Are you happy with the draw you've landed? Best of luck to all 8 players in the above matches and may the best men win.
*****Night of Champions PPV Bonus Pts*****
Gameweek 13 is upon us and with that comes the latest PPV - Night of Champions.
Since players seemed to enjoy the special bonus points on offer for the last PPV Summerslam (credit to A Brad Maddox Guy for that one) I figured we'd try another bonus points offer for this PPV.
Now as we know, famously at this event all of the available titles are put on the line.
With that being the case, the challenge is simple: accurately predict the number of title changes and the number of titles retained on the PPV.e.g. 2 title changes ; 3 titles retained
If you call it exactly right, you will gain an extra 5 points in addition to the points your squad members get you. (Note - You must call it exactly right. There will be no points given for getting close with it)
Here are the title matches currently set for Night of Champions:Night of Champions Title Matches
Seth Rollins (c) vs Sting (WWE World Heavyweight Title)
Seth Rollins (c) vs John Cena (United States Title)
Ryback (c) vs Kevin Owens (Intercontinental Title)
Nikki Bella (c) vs Charlotte (Divas Title)
The New Day (c) vs The Dudley Boyz (Tag Team Titles)
A friendly word of caution - there's a certain briefcase-carrying Irishman by the name of Sheamus who may decide to upset things by cashing in on the PPV, so bear that in mind when making your predictions.
To sum up, your squad selection this week should look something like this:TOP TIER - X
TOP TIER - X
TOP TIER - X
TOP TIER - X
MID-TIER - X
MID-TIER - X
BOTTOM TIER - X
Your captain: X
NIGHT OF CHAMPIONS BONUS PTS: ___ Title Changes ; ___ Titles Retained
I hope this bonus will help make the PPV even more exciting.
Make sure to remember the bonus option as 5 extra points could prove significant when it's all said and done.
That's about it. Good luck with your choices....
On to Gameweek #13 (PPV Week)...
Deadline
As it's a PPV Week the deadline for Gameweek #13 will thus be on Sunday night before the first match on the Night of Champions card (this includes any pre-show match, so keep that in mind).
You therefore have today, Friday, Saturday and Sunday to make up your minds.Transfers and Captaincy
You know the score. 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
Entry to the Cup is now closed but anyone who wishes to play in the league can do so by posting a squad. We will allocate you a place and provide you points level with the lowest player on the leaderboard so you can work your way up the table.
Good luck
It should be a fun week with points available for the PPV, Raw and Smackdown. Which performers will you be trusting in?0 -

The first of our three shows - Night of Champions - has come and gone; and with 8 matches on display, plus a special bonus to play for, there were plenty of points on offer to kick things off this week.
To earn the bonus of 5 points, players had to correctly predict the number of titles that would change hands and the number of titles that would be retained.
4 players correctly predicted that there would be3 title changes and 2 titles retained.
These 4 players were Bounty Hunter, DM_7, Cheese Wagstaff and beakerjoe. Congrats to all four on their predictions.
Now it's time to see how the PPV has affected how things stand.*Warning - Night of Champions spoilers lie below. Do not read further if you do not want the results from the PPV.*
For a change, I thought I would publish in full the total points scored for the show, and then reveal further down how it affected our overall table. This way you can see exactly how you compare to other players.Night of Champions scoresCheese Wagstaff..............33 pts

Night of Champions Fallout
Hats off to Cheese Wagstaff and DM_7 for the highest scores of the week and if I'm not mistake this score of 33 pts is the highest tally for a single show. Both men backed The Ascension with their captaincy decisions and both as noted above secured the NOC bonus as well which got them the huge haul.
I feel a special word of praise is necessary for linvoysblues too. He managed to secure wins with every single member of his squad. I'm not sure this has been done before. If he had correctly predicted the NOC bonus then this would have been total perfection. Still, a very impressive tally nonetheless.
As you can probably imagine there was a very big average score this week - 21 points.
Now it's time to see what the overall effect is on our leaderboard...

Congrats to Cheese Wagstaff who regains control at the top. The margin between first and second is now three points.
Elsewhere linvoysblues climbs from eighth place up to sixth and a late charge for those top places is not an impossibility. It goes to show how quickly things can change with just one show.Night of Champions results
Stardust and The Ascension defeated Neville and the Lucha Dragons
Kevin Owens defeated Ryback
Dolph Ziggler defeated Rusev
The Dudley Boyz defeated Big E and Kofi via D.Q
Charlotte defeated Nikki Bella
The Wyatt Family defeated Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose and Chris Jericho
John Cena defeated Seth Rollins
Seth Rollins defeated Sting
With the return of Chris Jericho, it's likely I will add him as an available option after this week ends. This assumes he is staying around for a bit but I think there's a good chance he will. Sting will probably vanish for a while but if he features in a match again on Raw then I'll probably add him also.
In other news Kane is back (groan) so he may be a useful option for players to consider now. Cena having the US Title again might make him a very attractive option going forward if they bring back the US challenge segment.
New players
Anyone who wishes to play along 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 and you can work your way up the leaderboard.
That's it for now. Onward to Raw to see where that leaves us...0 -

Congrats to beakerjoe on pocketing the highest score for Raw. With the exception of Roman Reigns, who didn't compete, every one of his guys picked up wins. Impressive stuff.
Fair play also to A Brad Maddox Guy, Bounty Hunter, LeeJM and Stereomaniac on all breaking that 20+ barrier.
Interestingly four of the top 5 points scorers for Night of Champions wound up in the bottom five scorers for this show.
The average score for Raw this week was 17 points.
Now let's see what all this means for our league table...

Fair play to Cheese Wagstaff who remains in control at the top of the table, but the most eye-catching development concerns second place as Bounty Hunter muscles yours truly out of the way to become the nearest challenger. With only five points separating first and second, might we have a brand new leader by the end of the week?
Elsewhere, LeeJM proves another climber as he moves up one place to sixth position.Raw results
Neville and the Lucha Dragons defeated Stardust and The Ascension
Ryback defeated Bo Dallas
Charlotte defeated Brie Bella
Sheamus defeated Mark Henry
Big E, Kofi and Rusev defeated The Dudley Boyz and Dolph Ziggler
Naomi defeated Natalya
Big Show defeated Cesaro
John Cena defeated Seth Rollins
Looks like Paige will be in the mix in the battle for Charlotte's title. Might she be worth getting in for next week?
Elsewhere Cena continues to look strong, whilst poor Cesaro is having a tough time of things. As for the bottom tier guys, hard to know whether it's best to go with The Ascension or the Lucha Dragons, or perhaps even Bo Dallas?
New players
Anyone who wishes to play along 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 and you can work your way up the leaderboard.

There's no doubt what the big story is here and that is at the top where Bounty Hunter goes joint-top alongside Cheese Wagstaff. Bounty Hunter has been on a great run of form and becomes the fourth player to experience being in that number one position. Which player will have cemented top spot by the end of next week?
****Rules note****
This week's top of the table situation made me realise I never explained what would happen in the event that the game ends with two players tied at the top.
Normally when players have been tied I have put the player that comes first alphabetically on top, but clearly this would not be a good way to determine the contest winner.
So then, in the event that there is a tie when the last week is completed, top spot shall be determined by the player with the best overall average position throughout the game.
(Some of you may recall I used this system back in Gameweek #7 when I needed to determine seedings for the Cup, and Stereomaniac and thebostoncrab happened to be tied)
Let's hope it doesn't come to that though. I think we all want there to be a decisive winner when the game wraps up. Until we get to the final stage, I'll just continue putting the person that comes first alphabetically on top because I don't think it really matters at this point.Smackdown results
Roman Reigns defeated Luke Harper
The New Day defeated Neville and the Lucha Dragons
Cesaro defeated Bo Dallas
Ryback and Dolph Ziggler defeated Rusev and Kevin Owens
Dean Ambrose defeated Seth Rollins
The New Day continue to look strong. Cesaro gets a win under his belt but I'm not sure what they're doing with him right now.
Ziggler's been pulling off a decent amount of wins lately it seems. Is he worth snapping up?
On to Gameweek #14 (Fantasy Cup Quarter-Finals 1st Leg)...
Yes, it's that time again! This week, 8 lucky players will face off in the first leg of the Fantasy Cup quarter-finals (the second leg will be on Gameweek #16).
Here is a reminder of the ties that we have in store:PW Boards Fantasy Cup Quarter-Finals (1st Leg)
Quarter-Final 1

Quarter-Final 2
linvoysblues vs Cheese Wagstaff

Best of luck to each player and choose your squads wisely. A strong score for the first leg could leave you with one foot in the semi-finals.
Deadline
The deadline for everyone will be before the commencement of Monday Night Raw, so you have 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
Entry to the Cup is limited to these 8 players but anyone who wishes to play along in the league is welcome to do so. Just post up a seven-person squad and we will allocate you points level with the lowest scorer and you can work your way up the leaderboard.
Good luck
With that being said, I now declare Gameweek #14 to be open. Which performers will you be lumping on this week?0 -
