With Smackdown now in the books we have completed Gameweek 8 of 25 and we find ourselves one-third of the way through the game. There are presently two big questions to be dealt with: what is the shape of our leaderboard, and who has picked up points in the first round of the Cup? Read on for answers...
*Note - Smackdown spoilers below. Do not read further if you do not want news of Smackdown.*
Gameweek 8 Standings1. DM_7...............................................................................194 points
2. Cheese Wagstaff................................................................189 points
3. Mr.Nice Guy......................................................................186 points
4. A Brad Maddox Guy............................................................180 points
5. Bounty Hunter...................................................................179 points
6. LeeJM..............................................................................177 points

Smackdown Fallout (League)
I posed the question after Raw - could DM_7 see out the Gameweek as the new league leader? Well we have our answer and it's a definite yes as he edges out into a five-point lead. It's all rather tight up there now isn't it? And with a PPV week on the horizon - and thus three shows to pay for - what can the rest of us do to catch up to DM_7?
The highest score for Smackdown went to LeeJM with a very impressive score of 20 pts and it means he's very much in the hunt now. Wins for his captain Neville, as well as Orton, Reigns and Cesaro played a big part in his score.
The second-biggest score went to Scavenger XIII with 19 points scored. The bulk of his score came from his captain Cesaro, as well as wins for Neville, Ambrose and Reigns. Also scoring well for Smackdown were DM_7 and Hashtag_Heel, with scores of 18 and 17 pts respectively.
The average score for Smackdown was higher than usual: 13.8 pts.
Smackdown Fallout (Fantasy Cup)
With Smackdown's scores now added to the scores from Raw, what follows below are the final scores for Gameweek #8. How did you do?Gameweek #8 Cup Ties (Results)
Group A
Stereomaniac 16 - 26 Cheese Wagstaff
Bounty Hunter 36 - 36 Hashtag_Heel
Group B
thebostoncrab 17 - 39 Scavenger XIII
A Brad Maddox Guy 32 - 38 DM_7
Group C
beakerjoe 21 - 27 linvoysblues
Mr.Nice Guy 36 - 38 LeeJM
A very dramatic game in Group A sees the only draw of the round as Bounty Hunter and Hashtag_Heel's hefty scores leave each of them having to share the spoils. Elsewhere, Cheese Wagstaff put aside the disappointment of losing top spot in the league to record a solid win over Stereomaniac.
The big story of Group B is a dominant win by Scavenger XIII with the highest score of the round. In the other game, a close tie is won by DM_7 over A Brad Maddox Guy and it caps off a sweet week for DM_7.
In Group C, another close tie saw LeeJM come back from being two points down to turn the tables on me and beat me by two points. I was left cursing that Big Show/Ryback match on Smackdown since I have both guys in my squad and I could have nicked a draw had just one of them won - yet it ends up as a double-count-out. Feckin' WWE Creative. Sorry, I had to vent that. Congrats to Lee on a fine win. In the other tie, linvoysblues picks up a solid win to bag 3 points.
It all means the Groups after Round 1 look like so...Group A|P|W|D|L|Score|Pts
Cheese Wagstaff|1|1|0|0|26|3|

I hope those tables are coming across okay. I only discovered Boards had a tables feature a few weeks ago. (P.S. Thanks to the mods on the Help forum for their assistance with that). I hope the groups are easy to read. If not, let me know.
Just to remind you that the top two in each group advance automatically to the last 8, whilst the two best third-placed teams will join them.
The matches for the Second Round take place in TWO WEEKS - Gameweek #10. You can find the second round fixtures in this post from the previous page.Smackdown results
Ryback vs Big Show ended in a double count-out
Big E, Kofi and Xavier Woods defeated Los Matadores & El Torito
Neville defeated Bo Dallas
Brie Bella defeated Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch
Randy Orton, Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns and Cesaro defeated Sheamus, Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper and Kevin OwensOn to Gameweek #9 (PPV Week)...*****ATTENTION - This week we will be choosing an extra pick for our squad. See post #128 for more information. *****
Deadline
As noted above, this week will NOT be a Cup week, but if you thought that meant a slow week for the game, then think again! Summerslam is this week and that means it's a PPV Week where we shall be playing for three shows: Summerslam, Monday Night Raw and Smackdown.
The deadline for Gameweek #9 will thus be on Sunday night before the first match on the Summerslam 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
You know the score. You can make 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.
Captaincy
Don't forget to choose a captain who will score you double points.
New players
Entry to the Cup is no longer open but anyone who wishes to play in the league may do so by choosing a squad. We will allocate you a place and provide you points level with the lowest player on the leaderboard so you can climb the table. Think you can do better than us?
Good luck
There are more points on offer than usual this week which could mean big gains. Try to make the most of that. You also have the advantage of knowing who will be appearing at Summerslam so there's easy appearance points to be had. Who will you be backing?0 -

A Brad Maddox Guy has made what I think is a great suggestion for this weekend's PPV Summerslam and it will work as follows: as a special one-off, this weekend we will add to our usual 7-person squad by selecting one of the two men featuring in the main event - Undertaker or Brock Lesnar.
If you correctly predict the winner of the match then you will net yourself an extra 3 points. If you want you can also make either guy your captain (tho' since they are part-timers and unlikely to feature again in the week I'd caution against that. But it's your call).
So when you are choosing your usual 7-person squad just add in at the bottom who you are backing in the main event and you may wind up with a nice bonus that could prove significant when it's all said and done.
It ought to look a bit 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
SUMMERSLAM BONUS TIER: Undertaker or Brock Lesnar
I think the good thing about this is that it makes the main event much more engrossing.
Make sure to remember to make a bonus tier selection as I can't award any points to those who haven't made clear who they think will win.
That's about it. Cheers again to A Brad Maddox Guy on a nifty idea that I wouldn't have thought of, and best of luck to everyone with their bonus tier picks.0 -
MNG just wanna say you are doing a super job running this and its made watching WWE much more fun. As far as the cup game, man it was close and I didnt expect to overturn that 2 point gap at all
Now the serious business my team for this week is :
TOP TIER - Roman Reigns Sasha Banks
TOP TIER - Randy Orton Dean Ambrose
TOP TIER - Sheamus
TOP TIER - Kevin Owens
MID-TIER - Neville
MID-TIER - Cesaro
BOTTOM TIER - Kalisto
My captain : Kevin Owens
SUMMERFEST BONUS TIER : Brock Lesnar0 -

A controversial episode of Summerslam is in the record books and that means we are a third of the way through the gameweek. Of course, this week there was a special Summerslam bonus tier available and only three participants wound up benefitting from the bonus on offer.
(Note - points for the main event match only went to the winner; I did not include appearance points for that one particular match-up. Basically it was a win or bust situation.)
The PPV had a significant effect on our leaderboard. Read on for more.*Warning - Summerslam spoilers lie below. Do not read further if you do not want the results from the PPV.*

Summerslam Fallout
All eyes will be drawn to the top of the standings as Cheese Wagstaff responds to last week's disappointing week by returning to the summit of the league. His score of 28 points was the highest for the show and was just one point below the record for a highest score from a single show (set by DM_7 in Gameweek 5). This was actually a near-perfect score for Cheese Wagstaff since all of his guys won save for Kalisto, and seeing as no lower tier guy won on the PPV, this score was as good as it gets. He also correctly predicted Undertaker beating Brock Lesnar which earned him 3 points; a margin you may note that separates him from DM_7, who like most players plumped for Brock Lesnar. It goes to show how close it is at the top right now. If DM_7 had gone for Taker, both guys would be level.
The second-best score went to Scavenger XIII with 25 points scored. All of his top tier choices won their matches, as well as his captaincy choice Neville. He also correctly predicted Taker winning.
Unsurprisingly this was a high-scoring start to the gameweek with an average for Summerslam of 20.8 pts.Summerslam results
Sheamus defeated Randy Orton
Big E and Kofi defeated the Prime Time Players, Los Matadores & the Lucha Dragons
Dolph Ziggler and Rusev ended in a double count-out
Stephen Amell and Neville defeated Stardust and King Barrett
Ryback defeated Big Show and The Miz
Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose defeated Bray Wyatt and Luke Harper
Seth Rollins defeated John Cena
Paige, Charlotte and Becky defeated Team Bella and Team B.A.D.
Kevin Owens defeated Cesaro
Undertaker defeated Brock Lesnar
As I noted above only three players correctly predicted Undertaker's win. As well as Cheese Wagstaff and Scavenger XIII who I've mentioned, the only other player to call it correctly was Stereomaniac. These players each earned a bonus 3 points on top of their regular scores.
Now as we look ahead to Raw, Sheamus has the momentum of a big win. Likewise the new tag champs the New Day. Neville delivered as most expected. Cesaro owners may, however, be concerned at a high-profile loss. Plus, has Kevin Owens now turned a corner with this win?
New entrants
Anyone who wishes to play along may do so by posting 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 now. On to Raw to see what implications it has for our league table, and with everything looking very close at present, it promises to be an important episode.0 -
What I thought was one of the better Raws in a long time has come and gone, with plenty of exciting moments that will be remembered when the year is out. Having said all that, can you believe there were only four matches? It's true; but even so, those four matches have had a noticeable effect on our table. Read on for more.

Raw Fallout
Well we have yet more drama at the top of our leaderboard. DM_7 has wrestled back control at the top of the table and edges out Cheese Wagstaff into second place. Those two have been having a fascinating duel of late and just one point separates them now, whilst the top four players are separated by less than ten points. It feels like anything could happen at the minute. The question is who will finish the gameweek on top?
The highest score for Raw went to A Brad Maddox Guy with a strong haul of 15 pts; three of his top tier picks won which made up the bulk of his score.
The joint second-highest score was 13 pts scored by beakerjoe and myself. There were plenty of players not far behind that though.
The average score for the week was 10.7 pts.Raw results
Big E and Kofi defeated The Lucha Dragons
Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose defeated Luke Harper and Bray Wyatt via D.Q.
Alicia Fox, Nikki and Brie Bella defeated Paige, Becky Lynch and Charlotte
Ryback, Randy Orton, Cesaro and Dolph Ziggler defeated Big Show, Sheamus, Kevin Owens and Rusev
Dolph Ziggler finds himself on the winning side. Is he now someone worth a look? The New Day appear to look a good bet for any player at the moment.
Raw this week also saw the dramatic return of the Dudley Boyz and since it appears they are back as regulars, I will likely add them to the roster as a mid-tier option. I'll update you on this at the end of the gameweek. This new Wyatt family member Braun Strowman will also likely be added so keep an eye out for that as you may look to update your squad.

Smackdown is done and dusted which wraps up Gameweek 9 of 25. Summerslam and Raw had a significant effect on our league table and Smackdown proved to be no exception. Read on for more...*Note - Smackdown spoilers below. Do not read further if you do not want news of Smackdown.*

Smackdown Fallout
In a dramatic climax to a dramatic week for our table, Cheese Wagstaff finishes top of the pile, displacing DM_7 who falls to third place.
Just to illustrate how back-and-forth it has been near the top, Cheese Wagstaff went into Gameweek 9 in second place; he then went top after Summerslam; he then fell back into second place after Raw; and now he is back on top after Smackdown. What a week, eh? Funny to think we had so many weeks with no change at the top and now all of a sudden it feels like everything is in flux.
The highest score for Smackdown was 11 points which was scored by three players: Cheese Wagstaff, who as mentioned moved top; myself, who moved up into second position; and LeeJM who now moves to just one point off fifth position. Both Cheese Wagstaff and myself scored well with our top tier picks, whilst LeeJM scored well via having Kevin Owens as captain.
The average score for Smackdown was 7.5 pts.Smackdown results
The Dudley Boyz defeated The Ascension
Kevin Owens defeated Neville
Charlotte and Becky defeated The Bella Twins
Dolph Ziggler and Ryback defeated Rusev and Big Show
Sheamus defeated Dean Ambrose
Kevin Owens is starting to look very good value as a pick, as is Dolph Ziggler who records another win. Elsewhere the Dudley Boyz have arrived with a bang and as noted in my previous post, they are now available to select as a mid-tier option alongside Braun Strowman. Will you be getting one of these new faces in your team?On to Gameweek #10 (Second Round of Cup)...
Yes, folks, it's that time again. Gameweek #10 will see us compete against one another once more in the second round of the Fantasy Cup.
If you wish to remind yourself of the first round results and the current standings in the groups you can do so by looking at this post.
Here are the fixtures for this week's cup ties:Gameweek #10 Cup Ties
Group A
Cheese Wagstaff vs Bounty Hunter
Stereomaniac vs Hashtag_Heel
Group B
Scavenger XIII vs A Brad Maddox Guy
DM_7 vs thebostoncrab
Group C
LeeJM vs beakerjoe
linvoysblues vs Mr.Nice Guy
There are some tasty fixtures lined up and Group A I reckon looks particularly fun with first in the league taking on fifth via Cheese Wagstaff vs Bounty Hunter. Also Stereomaniac and Hashtag_Heel are dead level in the league and find themselves now clashing in the Cup.
Scavenger XIII vs A Brad maddox Guy in Group B could be another cracker. Scavenger XIII got the highest score of any squad in the last round, while A Brad maddox Guy has been in good form of late.
All those players who lost the first game (like me) will know the importance of getting some points on the board so I'll be looking to get off the mark in Group C against linvoysblues, who has an advantage with points on the board already.
We will have a much better idea of who looks to be heading to the quarter-finals after this week. Remember: the top two in each group qualify automatically, whilst the two best third-placed teams will also squeeze through. It should be a very fun 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
You'll know by now you've the option of making 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.
Captaincy
Don't forget to choose a captain who will score you double points.
New players
Entry to the Cup is now closed but new players can still participate in the league if they wish. We will allocate you a place and provide you points level with the lowest player on the leaderboard so you can climb the table. Think you can do better than us?
Good luck
People seemed to enjoy the last round of the Cup so hopefully this week proves good fun too. The league looks very interesting right now, and with the Cup getting serious, here's hoping for the best week yet.
May the best men win.0 -

Raw Fallout (League)
In a rather scrappy start to the week not a lot has changed at the top as Cheese Wagstaff remains the leader with a margin of four points.
The highest score for Raw went to Bounty Hunter with an impressive 15 points scored; three of his top tier choices won which resulted in the bulk of his points. This lifts Bounty Hunter up into fourth place and he is now not far off DM_7 in third.
The second-highest score was 12 points which was earned by three players. In order to save the suspense for the Cup matches I’ll not reveal them as you can see all scores in the Cup ties below…
By Raw standards this was a very low scoring week with an average of just 9 points.
Raw Fallout (Fantasy Cup)
We've still got Smackdown to come so it's effectively half-time in the Cup. Here are the latest scores...Gameweek #10 Cup Ties (Post-Raw)Group A
Cheese Wagstaff 12 - 15 Bounty Hunter
Stereomaniac 10 - 7 Hashtag_Heel
Group B
Scavenger XIII 5 - 10 A Brad Maddox Guy
DM_7 5 - 3 thebostoncrab
Group C
LeeJM 9 - 10 beakerjoe
linvoysblues 12 - 12 Mr. Nice Guy
These ties looks even closer than the ones in the first round, don't they?
In Group A, just three points separates each tie.
In Group B, A Brad Maddox Guy has the best lead so far but it's by no means an overwhelming one. In the other tie, I expected DM_7 to win comfortably but it's very tight.
Group C has the closest scores of all with one point separating one game and the other one dead level.Raw results
Dolph Ziggler defeated Rusev via D.Q.
Becky Lynch defeated Alicia Fox
Ryback defeated Big Show
Charlotte defeated Brie Bella
Kevin Owens defeated Cesaro
Braun Strowman defeated Dean Ambrose via D.Q.
Paige and Sasha Banks ended in a no-contest
The Dudley Boyz defeated Kofi and Big E
This was a strange show from our point of view with plenty of popular names not featuring. Guys like Neville, Orton, Sheamus, Reigns, to name but a few.
Elsewhere, the Dudley Boyz bandwagon looks promising whilst Braun Strowman - who no one brought in - looked very dominant. I suspect he may be in a few squads in the near future. Will you be snapping up the big man?
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 what should be, for us anyway, a very exciting episode of Smackdown.0 -
We have finished with another Smackdown and that brings us to the end of Gameweek 10. It's now time to see the shape of our league table and to analyse the results of the Cup's second round.

Smackdown Fallout (League)
We still have the familiar picture of Cheese Wagstaff topping the table but the lead is now just one point as yours truly seeks to go top for the first time. Just below the top two there is an interesting tussle going on as A Brad Maddox Guy and Bounty Hunter jump over DM_7 who falls to fifth. It's all rather tight, however, and you feel like things could be very different by next week.
The highest score for Smackdown was shared by both myself and linvoysblues with each of us securing 15 points. We both had two top tier picks win, and we benefitted from having Bubba Ray as captain.
The average score for Smackdown this week was 8.2 pts.
Smackdown Fallout (Fantasy Cup)
Smackdown's scores can now be added to Raw so what follows below are the final scores for Gameweek 10. Did you get the result you wanted?Gameweek #10 Cup Ties (Results)
Group A
Cheese Wagstaff 24 - 24 Bounty Hunter
Stereomaniac 16 - 10 Hashtag_Heel
Group B
Scavenger XIII 14 - 21 A Brad Maddox Guy
DM_7 11 - 5 thebostoncrab
Group C
LeeJM 17 - 14 beakerjoe
linvoysblues 27 - 27 Mr. Nice Guy
In Group A, Cheese Wagstaff overturns his post-Raw deficit and leaves Bounty Hunter having to contend with yet another draw. In the other game Stereomaniac maintains his Raw lead and secures his first points in the Cup.
Meanwhile in Group B, A Brad Maddox Guy caps off a fine week with a solid victory over Scavenger III. In the other game, DM_7 pulls away to secure another win and to top his group.
Last but not least in Group C, LeeJM bounces back from being behind after Raw to take the tie and he now tops the group; elsewhere, myself and linvoysblues secure the highest scores of the week and so have to settle for a draw.
It all means the groups now look like this after two games: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|

Group 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|
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|
In Group A it looks very wide open and by my reckoning it's all to play for in that one. Anything could happen.
In Group B, DM_7 by my calculations is definitely through to the quarter-finals. Even though he could still finish third, remember the two best third-placed teams progress, and with a score of 6 points, that's too good to miss out; so congrats to him. (Note - Due to A Brad Maddox Guy and Scavenger XIII having the same points and score, it's the head-to-head record that separates them)
In Group C, LeeJM is also assured of a place in the last 8 as he is guaranteed to finish at least second. The top two qualify automatically so he's there. Congrats to him as well.
I don't think any player is mathematically out of advancing to the next round. We all have a chance to make it, so the third and final round (on Gameweek #12) should be a slobberknocker!
Those that are through may as well remain focused as the three group winners plus the best runner-up will be seeded for the Q-F draw. And one last thing - as I've noted the two best third-placed teams advance. Here is a table showing how the third-place teams measure up at the moment:Third Place Table|P|W|D|L|Score|Pts
Scavenger XIII|2|1|0|1|53|3|
Bounty Hunter|2|0|2|0|60|2|
Mr.Nice Guy|2|0|1|1|63|1|
As you can see, despite the fact I've the highest score of any player in the game after two games with 63, it's the points that matter most. And with just the one point, my arse is heading out as things stand!
The fixture list for the third and final group games can be found in this post.Smackdown results
The Dudley Boyz defeated The Prime Time Players
Neville vs Stardust went to a no-contest

Sheamus also records a good win.
The result that caught my eye the most was Bo Dallas. Is the BO-ttom tier man - geddit? - now worth a punt, I wonder? And what about The Ascension? Are they also a decent bottom-tier pick now that they may have some sort of alliance with Stardust?On to Gameweek #11...
Deadline
The deadline will be before the commencement of Monday Night Raw.
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. It does make following the matches more interesting as I'm sure others will agree.
Good luck
That's about it for now, folks. Who will you be trusting in for the week ahead?0 -
