paulie21 has arranged another terrific match-up as A Brad Maddox Guy and daithi1989 will collide for the first time since the duo known as A Daithi Guy were the first team to exit from the tag team tournament. Which one will go down as the Shawn Michaels of the group, and which one Marty Jannetty? Time will tell.
That means the final tie will involve the final two names left remaining: WinnyThePoo and Bounty Hunter. There is some history with these two as well who met way back in Gameweek #4 in the Fantasy Cup group stages; on that occasion Bounty Hunter won by a whisker - 12 points to 11. Will this tie prove just as close?
That completes our Survivor Series Challenge line-up:
BWO (Boards World Order) vs Digestive Busquets
Gaw_ vs Cheese Wagstaff (captain)
paulie21 (captain) vs LeeJM
DM_7 vs Mr.Nice Guy
beakerjoe vs Kankan14
A Brad Maddox Guy vs daithi1989
WinnyThePoo vs Bounty Hunter
The Survivor Series Challenge will officially commence on Gameweek #16. I'm very excited for the challenge and thanks to paulie21 and Cheese Wagstaff for their choices; I think they have arranged excellent ties here.
I look forward to seeing which team will win.0 -

5 weeks remaining...
The go-home Raw before Survivor Series has concluded and that means we are also halfway through our fifteenth gameweek. I'll begin this update by revealing the scores from Raw, what they mean for the tag team tournament semi-finals, and finally reveal the state of our league table. Read on for more...*Note - Raw spoilers below. Do not read further if you do not want news of Raw.*Monday Night Raw scores
beakerjoe.......................................23 pts
daithi1989......................................22 pts
Bounty Hunter.................................20 pts
Gaw_.............................................20 pts
Kankan14.......................................20 pts
DM_7.............................................19 pts
LeeJM............................................19 pts
WinnyThePoo...................................18 pts
paulie21.........................................17 pts
Mr.Nice Guy.....................................14 pts
Cheese Wagstaff..............................13 pts
A Brad Maddox Guy..........................10 pts
Raw Fallout
beakerjoe continues his strong form of late by securing the highest score for Raw; all of his Raw wrestlers picked up wins: Sasha Banks, Kevin Owens, Braun Strowman, Sami Zayn and Karl Anderson.
The second highest score went to daithi1989, who also had a clean sweep of wins for his Raw performers: Roman Reigns, Sasha Banks, Kevin Owens, Braun Strowman and Sami Zayn.
This was one of the highest scoring Raws of the whole contest, with an average of 18 points.
Now let us see where that leaves our tag team tournament semi-finals. Remember the tag team semi-finals are not two-leg affairs, so we are at the halfway point now...Tag Team Semi-Finals
Semi-Final 1
P.D.M.21/7 aka Pretty Damn Mean 21/7 (paulie21 and DM_7) 36
vs
Bounty Hunter and Gaw_ 40
Semi-Final 2
BeakerKan14 (beakerjoe and Kankan14) 43
vs
Cheesy Guys (Cheese Wagstaff and Mr.Nice Guy) 27
Tag Team Tournament Fallout
In Semi-Final 1, Bounty Hunter and Gaw_ have the advantage but it's very much all to play for with just 4 points separating the teams. This match could very well go right down to the wire.
In Semi-Final 2, myself and Cheese Wagstaff picked a bad week to get low scores and things look bleak as beakerjoe and Kankan14 have amassed a lead of 16 points. We will need a bit of a miracle to turn this around.
We should hopefully know tomorrow which players reached the tag team tournament final.
Finally, let us see how our league table currently looks...Gameweek 15 Standings (Post-Raw)
1. DM_7..........................................................................380 points
2. Mr.Nice Guy..................................................................362 points
3. daithi1989....................................................................351 points
4. Bounty Hunter...............................................................348 points
= paulie21.......................................................................348 points
5. beakerjoe....................................................................332 points
6. A Brad Maddox Guy.......................................................316 points
7. Kankan14....................................................................300 points
8. Gaw_..........................................................................295 points
9. Cheese Wagstaff...........................................................286 points
= LeeJM.........................................................................286 points
10. WinnyThePoo..............................................................242 points
League Fallout
Still the man to beat is DM_7, who edges a little further ahead with a lead now of 18 points.
The big movement of the week sees daithi1989 push up to third place, while Bounty Hunter joins paulie21 in fourth place.
Meanwhile in the Deletion Zone, LeeJM has gone level with Cheese Wagstaff in what is looking a very exciting tussle down there.Raw results
Kevin Owens and Roman Reigns defeated Cesaro and Sheamus.
Sami Zayn defeated Bo Dallas.
Seth Rollins, Chris Jericho and Braun Strowman defeated The New Day.
Brian Kendrick defeated Sin Cara.
Charlotte and Sasha Banks defeated Alicia Fox and Nia Jax.
Enzo, Big Cass, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson defeated The Golden Truth and The Shining Stars.
Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson picked up a win on Raw for a second week in a row. Signs of a renewed push for them?

The game may be under way but new players are always welcome. To sign up simply select a squad from the roster here and you're in.
That wraps up the Raw update. Over to Smackdown to finish the week as we learn what tag teams made the final. We will also begin preparing for the Survivor Series Challenge starting this weekend.0 -

The go-home Smackdown before Survivor Series has finished and that means we have reached the end of the gameweek. We are now 3/4 of the way through the game and the end is in sight.
I will begin this update by revealing the scores for Smackdown, what they mean for the tag tournament semi-finals (and we had a very exciting climax to watch out for), before finishing up with the current league table. I will then reveal the Survivor Series Bonus on offer as we look ahead to a massive gameweek on the horizon. Read on for the latest...
*Note - Smackdown Live spoilers below. Do not read further if you do not want news of Smackdown.*Smackdown scores
daithi1989......................................16 pts
beakerjoe........................................8 pts

Smackdown Fallout
The highest score by some margin goes to daithi1989 who continues his great form of late; wins for his captain Kalisto and Jimmy Uso got him the score. It also meant daithi achieved the rare feat of a clean sweep - every single member of his team picked up wins this week.
The second highest score was shared by beakerjoe and Gaw_, with Jimmy Uso and Nikki Bella being a factor for both guys.
The average score for Smackdown was 7 points.
Now it's time to see what those scores meant for the tag team tournament semi-finals...Tag Team Semi-Finals (Results)
Semi-Final 1
P.D.M.21/7 aka Pretty Damn Mean 21/7 (paulie21 and DM_7) 50
vs
Bounty Hunter and Gaw_ 49
Semi-Final 2
BeakerKan14 (beakerjoe and Kankan14) 56
vs
Cheesy Guys (Cheese Wagstaff and Mr.Nice Guy) 34
Tag Team Tournament Fallout
It's a gripping end to semi-final 1 as paulie21 and DM_7 manage to overturn a 4 point deficit from Raw to take the tie by the tightest of margins. It's even more extraordinary when you consider that paulie21 recently beat Bounty Hunter in the Fantasy Cup Quarter-Final by just two points. Those two have had quite the rivalry this year!
Alas it was very different in the other semi-final as beakerjoe and Kankan14 destroyed the Cheesy Guys with a dominant performance. It will be fascinating in the Survivor Series Challenge to see both those guys facing one another. Myself and Cheese Wagstaff will be on the same team for the Challenge so I better not turn heel on him just yet. Congrats to beakerjoe and Kankan14 on a deserved win.
So now we know the line-up for our first final of this year's contest and it will be:Tag Team Tournament Final
P.D.M.21/7 aka Pretty Damn Mean 21/7 (paulie21 and DM_7)
vs
BeakerKan14 (beakerjoe and Kankan14)
The final will take place in two weeks on Gameweek #17. In the event of a draw, the points from captaincy choices over the match will determine who advances.
In the event this fails to settle it, then a special replay will take place the following week.
Good luck to each team.
Now let's see how the league table looks at the end of the week...Gameweek 15 Standings
1. DM_7..........................................................................387 points
2. daithi1989...................................................................367 points
= Mr.Nice Guy..................................................................367 points
3. paulie21......................................................................355 points
4. Bounty Hunter..............................................................349 points
5. beakerjoe....................................................................340 points
6. A Brad Maddox Guy.......................................................323 points
7. Kankan14....................................................................305 points
8. Gaw_..........................................................................303 points
9. LeeJM.........................................................................293 points
10. Cheese Wagstaff..........................................................288 points
11. WinnyThePoo..............................................................247 points
League Fallout
Fair play to DM_7 who edges a little further ahead with a lead now standing at 20 points. There is an interesting development just below the leader as daithi1989 rises to joint second alongside myself.
Other movement sees paulie21 move ahead of Bounty Hunter, while in the Deletion Zone LeeJM moves ahead of Cheese Wagstaff.Smackdown results.
The Miz defeated Dolph Ziggler to win the Intercontinental Title.
Kalisto defeated Oney Lorcan.
Nikki Bella vs Carmella ended in a No-Contest.
American Alpha, The Hype Bros, The Usos and Breezango defeated The Spirit Squad, The Vaudevillains, The Ascension and The Headbangers
You might be surprised to learn Breezango have picked up wins on two Smackdown shows in a row. Fandango and Breeze are available as Lower Tier options but don't feature in any teams currently.
On to Gameweek #16 (Fantasy Cup Semi-Final 2nd Leg + Survivor Series extras...)PW Fantasy Cup Semi-Finals - 2nd Leg
Mr.Nice Guy 11 - 21 daithi1989
paulie21 7 - 7 LeeJM
Above, you will see the scores as they stand following the first leg. I have work to do to catch up on daithi1989 - who now has the same position as me in the league to add a bit of extra spice to this - but with this being a PPV week there should be plenty of points on offer. The other tie between paulie21 and LeeJM is as close as you can get and impossible to call right now.
In the event of ties finishing as a draw, the player with the most points from their captaincy choices over the two legs will advance. If that doesn't give us a winner, then a special one-off replay will determine the winner.
Good luck everyone.
BWO (Boards World Order) vs Digestive Busquets
Gaw_ vs Cheese Wagstaff (captain)
paulie21 (captain) vs LeeJM
DM_7 vs Mr.Nice Guy
beakerjoe vs Kankan14
A Brad Maddox Guy vs daithi1989
WinnyThePoo vs Bounty Hunter
At last it's time for the Survivor Series Challenge where players will do battle to see which team can score the most wins. (If it ends 3-3 we will add up the combined overall points of each team and the team with the highest amount wins). The prize for the winning team will be the right to make an extra transfer next week and at this stage of the contest, every advantage is precious.
We've got some great rivalries at play here: league rivals, cup rivals, former and current tag team members - it should make for a cracking week. Good luck.
*****Survivor Series Bonus Pts*****
There are 3 Survivor Series Elimination Matches on the PPV:Raw vs Smackdown (Men's Match)
Raw vs Smackdown (Women's Match)
Raw vs Smackdown (Tag Team Match)
The bonus is simply this: predict which brand wins each of the above matches.
If your prediction is correct, you will earn 6 points. Note - you must predict ALL three results to secure the bonus. Two out of three won't cut it.
You won't lose points on this one if you predict incorrectly so it's worth your while going for it. You don't need to predict which names are left standing - just the brand you think will win each match.
So your line-up for the week ahead should look a bit like this:MAIN EVENT TIER - X
MAIN EVENT TIER - X
MAIN EVENT TIER - X
UPPER TIER - X
UPPER TIER - X
UPPER TIER - X
LOWER TIER - X
Your captain: X
Survivor Series Bonus:
Raw vs Smackdown (Men's Match) - Raw or Smackdown
Raw vs Smackdown (Women's Match) - Raw or Smackdown
Raw vs Smackdown (Tag Team Match) - Raw or Smackdown
Deadline
As it's a PPV week, the deadline will be before the first pre-show match of Survivor Series on November, 20th.
Transfers and Captaincy
You can make up to 2 transfers to your squad if you wish. These must be from the same tier. For example, a Main Event Tier performer for a Main Event Tier performer; an Upper Tier performer for an Upper Tier performer.
Please outline who you are transferring out and transferring in when posting your squads to make it easier for me to follow.
Once a team has been posted that team will be final and no edits will be allowed (unless there are exceptional circumstance, i.e. a wrestler gets hurt, or they are suspended).
Don't forget to choose a captain who will score you double points.
Want to join in?
The game may be under way but new players are always welcome. To sign up simply select a squad from the roster here and you're in.
That's about everything, folks. Should be a lot of fun this week. Gameweek #16 is now officially open for business.
Update:. ***** Survivor Series Note *****
beakerjoe drew my attention towards something I should have clarified: as far as the elimination matches go at Survivor Series, all of the wrestlers on the winning team will get points for the win - and that includes wrestlers who get eliminated during the match.
e.g. if Team Raw wins the women's match but during the match Alicia Fox winds up eliminated, Fox will still secure points since her team, which she's a part of, was victorious.
Hope that's clear.0 -
