Clash of Champions has concluded and that means we are 1/3 of the way through the gameweek. This is a big week with all 8 places in the quarter-finals of the Cup to be confirmed, plus we discover the latest ups and downs in our league table. Read on for all the latest...*Note - Clash of Champions spoilers below. Do not read further if you do not want news of the PPV.*PW Fantasy Cup (Latest Scores)

Fantasy Cup Fallout
This week we had a Clash of Champions bonus where if you predicted the correct number of titles changed and retained you would pick up an extra 5 points. Four players correctly predicted that there would be 1 title change, and 4 titles retained. These players were: A Brad Maddox Guy, beakerjoe, Bounty Hunter and myself. Those bonus points have been added above.
Looking at the ties so far, they seem to be very much in the balance. The ties between Kankan14 vs A Brad Maddox Guy, and Cheese Wagstaff vs WinnyThePoo will be fascinating since the player that loses those ties will be eliminated. To see what the latest group tables look like, see here.
As you can see, Bounty Hunter got the highest score at the PPV; wins for his captain TJ Perkins, Kevin Owens, Nia Jax and getting the Clash bonus right brought home most of his points. Kankan14 got the second highest score; most of his points were thanks to wins from Roman Reigns, Kevin Owens, Chris Jericho and his captain Nia Jax.
The average score for Clash of Champions was 18 points.
Now let's see what it all means for our league table...Gameweek 8 Standings (Post-PPV)

Raw has wrapped up for the week and that brings us one step closer to finding out the full line-up for the Fantasy Cup quarter-finals. As well as that we have the latest twists and turns in our league table. I'll begin first with the scores from last night's show. Read on for the latest news...*Note - Raw spoilers below.

Raw Fallout
Bounty Hunter, daithi1989, Gaw_ and myself secure the highest score from Monday Night Raw. All of us got our points from the same three guys: Kevin Owens, TJ Perkins and Cesaro, with me sticking the captaincy on Cesaro and the other three players sticking it on Perkins.
The average score for Raw this week was 15 points.
Taking the above scores on board, let's now see how those Cup ties look...PW Fantasy Cup (Latest Scores)
Group A
Mr.Nice Guy 40 - 34 Gaw_
LeeJM 35 - 37 paulie21
Group B
Kankan14 39 - 34 A Brad Maddox Guy
daithi1989 36 - 25 DM_7
Group C
Cheese Wagstaff 15 - 28 WinnyThePoo
Bounty Hunter 44 - 25 beakerjoe
Fantasy Cup Fallout
It's set up very nicely going into the final show tonight, Smackdown. In Group A there's very little in the ties. Only paulie21 is definitely through in this group.
In Group B the must-win game between Kankan14 and A Brad Maddox Guy looks to be heading Kankan14's way with A Brad Maddox Guy only having AJ Styles left in play and a gap of five points to overturn. If Styles does double duty tonight then there would still be a chance.
In Group C, the must-win game between Cheese Wagstaff and WinnyThePoo could still turn around with Cheese Wagstaff hoping his captain Jack Swagger picks up a win tonight to give him hope. Bounty Hunter looks to be in good shape for 3 points in his tie, although it would be tough for any player to deal with his form this week.
The post featuring the latest group standings can be seen here.
And last but not least, let's see how our league table looks following Raw...Gameweek 8 Standings (Post-Raw)
1. Bounty Hunter...............................................................236 points

9. Kankan14....................................................................188 points
10. Gaw_.........................................................................168 points
11. WinnyThePoo...............................................................145 points
League Fallout
No doubt the big news from Raw is Bounty Hunter going joint-top of the table alongside DM_7. It's very exciting up there at the minute and the question is, will either man secure top spot for himself after Smackdown?
In other news, daithi1989 has climbed a spot following his strong score. It's quite exciting at the other end in the Deletion Zone too.Raw results
Roman Reigns vs Rusev ended in a double count-out.
Big E and Kofi defeated Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson.
Bayley defeated Anna Fields.
Cedric Alexander and Rich Swann defeated Lince Dorado and Drew Gulak.
Cesaro and Sheamus defeated Nick Cutler and Willis Williams.
TJ Perkins defeated Tony Nese.
Kevin Owens and Chris Jericho defeated Enzo and Big Cass.
I wonder will this tag team storyline with Cesaro see a boost in Sheamus's ownership? He currently features in just one squad.

Smackdown is over and so too is gameweek 8. There's a lot of news as we discover the full line-up of those who qualified for the Fantasy Cup quarter-finals, plus we check out the latest in our league table; but that's not all: I will reveal down below details on a brand spanking NEW tournament that is set to kick off next week. So then let's waste no more time and get into this, beginning with the scores from last night...
*Note - Smackdown Live spoilers below. Do not read further if you do not want news of Smackdown.*Smackdown Live scores

Smackdown Fallout
The highest score for Smackdown by some margin goes to DM_7, with his points coming from wins for his captain Jimmy Uso and AJ Styles.
The second highest score goes to Gaw_ thanks to Jimmy Uso's win and appearances from Nikki Bella and Dean Ambrose.
There were just three matches on Smackdown so unsurprisingly the average is a low one: 5 points.
And now it's time to discover the results of the final group matches. Which players made it through?PW Fantasy Cup (Results)
Group A
Mr.Nice Guy 44 - 42 Gaw_
LeeJM 39 - 37 paulie21
Group A|P|W|D|L|Score|Pts
Mr.Nice Guy|3|2|0|1|108|6|
paulie21|3|2|0|1|99|6|
LeeJM|3|2|0|1|94|6|
Gaw_|3|0|0|3|91|0|
What a tight group this turned out to be and in the end it is myself and paulie21 who qualify in the top 2 automatic spots from this group.
There were only 2 points in both of the final group games and this table could have looked very different had just one Raw or Smackdown result gone differently. It means LeeJM relies on the third-place route to advance (discover if he made it below) and sadly Gaw_ is eliminated.Group B
Kankan14 40 - 38 A Brad Maddox Guy
daithi1989 40 - 41 DM_7
Group B|P|W|D|L|Score|Pts
DM_7|3|3|0|0|116|9|
daithi1989|3|2|0|1|108|6|
Kankan14|3|1|0|2|95|3|
A Brad Maddox Guy|3|0|0|3|90|0|
This was another group filled with drama. Look at how close those final matches were. It is DM_7 who tops the group with a 100 per cent record after a stunning turnaround. He trailed this tie by 11 points after Raw but managed to edge daithi1989 into second spot, who also qualifies automatically. Some good news for daithi1989 is that he is the best runner-up so will be classed as a top seed in the next round, along with the group winners.
Kankan14 edges the must-win clash over A Brad Maddox Guy to give himself a chance in the third-place route as A Brad Maddox Guy is eliminated. Find out if he made it below.Group C
Cheese Wagstaff 20 - 31 WinnyThePoo
Bounty Hunter 50 - 29 beakerjoe
Group C|P|W|D|L|Score|Pts
Bounty Hunter|3|3|0|0|114|9|
beakerjoe|3|2|0|1|88|6|
WinnyThePoo|3|1|0|2|62|3|
Cheese Wagstaff|3|0|0|3|81|0|
Bounty Hunter maintains his 100 per cent record and tops Group C with a strong win over nearest rival beakerjoe, who also qualifies automatically.
WinnyThePoo won the must-win clash with Cheese Wagstaff, with last year's league champion given an early exit from the Cup, as WinnyThePoo relies on the third-place route to advance. See if he made it below.
So we have our six group winners and runners-up definitely through to the quarter-finals: myself, paulie21, DM_7, daithi1989, Bounty Hunter and beakerjoe. Congratulations to all players.
Now we must welcome the top two third-place teams who will take the final spots. And they are...Third Place Table|P|W|D|L|Score|Pts
LeeJM|3|2|0|1|94|6|
Kankan14|3|1|0|2|95|3|
WinnyThePoo|3|1|0|2|62|3|
Congratulations to LeeJM and Kankan14 who take the final two spots in the last 8. Commiserations to WinnyThePoo who achieved a fantastic result over Cheese Wagstaff but still winds up eliminated. Low scores in his first two group games proved costly for him in the end.
So to review, here is the line-up:Top seeds
Mr.Nice Guy (Group A winner)
DM_7 (Group B winner)
Bounty Hunter (Group C winner)
daithi1989 (Best runner-up)
2nd seeds
paulie21 (Group A runner-up)
beakerjoe (Group C runner-up)
LeeJM (via third-place route)
Kankan14 (via third-place route)
Eliminated
Gaw_
A Brad Maddox Guy
Cheese Wagstaff
WinnyThePoo
The quarter-finals will be over two legs and the first game will be in two week's time on Gameweek 10. I will do the draw for the quarter-finals next week when Gameweek 9 ends. Players who met in the group stage will be kept apart for the quarter-finals.
So that concludes the opening round of the Fantasy Cup, but now let's see how the league table shapes up...Gameweek 8 Standings

The big news at the end of the week concerns the league leader DM_7 who solidifies his position at the top with a margin of ten points.
Not much else to report; it's as you were.Smackdown results.
The Usos and The Ascension defeated Heath Slater & Rhyno and American Alpha.
Carmella and Natalya defeated Nikki Bella and Naomi.
AJ Styles defeated Dean Ambrose
Missing: Have you seen this man?
What happened to that big Jack Swagger push we were told about?! He remains the most popular Lower Tier pick but have his owners' patience run out?On to Gameweek #8 (a new tournament begins)PW Fantasy Tag Team Tournament
We have been battling for supremacy in our league, and we have competed directly against one another in the Fantasy Cup; now it is time for our newest challenge: teaming up to do battle!
Yes starting this week I am debuting the PW Fantasy Tag Team Tournament which will see players partnered with a buddy in the league as they face off against the other teams.
Every second week beginning in Gameweek 9 you and your buddy's score will be added together giving your team's total score. (e.g. Player A gets 20 pts, Player B gets 17 points, thus the total team score is 37 points).
There will be no eliminations in Gameweek 9, but in Gameweek 11 we will have our first elimination as the bottom team on the tag team ladder is eliminated. In Gameweek 13, same thing: the bottom team on the ladder is eliminated. In Gameweek 15 we will have 2 semi-finals (one-off games) and the final will be set for Gameweek 17.
How will you be assigned a tag team partner? Well I'll leave that to YOU.
I have randomized all twelve players in our league. I want the first few players who submit their line-ups for the week to pick a number between 1 and 12 and that will be your buddy for the tournament. (If the number you select happens to be your own name then I'll just give the next name down.) By my reckoning after the first 5 submissions we should have the teams sorted, so it's first come, first pick.
(Note - if anyone not currently playing wants to join in I will find a way to facilitate you for this tournament.)
I hope that's straightforward. So the first few players who submit a team it should look 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
I pick number __.
I will then reveal who your tag team buddy will be for the week ahead. Remember there will be no eliminations this week coming but the lowest team in Gameweek 11 will be eliminated, so it's all about getting those points. The league will continue to run as normal.
I think it will add an interesting new dynamic since now, on tag team weeks, if you have a bad week there will be a bit of guilt over the partner you're letting down. :pac:Deadline
The deadline will be before the start of Monday Night Raw.
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. Places for the Fantasy Cup are now closed but we will still accept players for the league and for the new tag tournament about to start. To sign up simply select a squad from the roster here and you're in.
Good luck for the week ahead and those of you who elect to submit teams early don't forget to pick a number between 1 and 12 too. Gameweek #9 is now open for business.0 -

You have also picked your own number which means we go back to the numbers left and choose the next available one which is number four. Say hello to your tag partner...

...WinnyThePoo!
He's fresh off a big Fantasy Cup win over last year's champ Cheese Wagstaff, though sadly he couldn't progress further via the third-place route (with one of those places going to yourself). Hopefully the tag team can co-exist in spite of that.
So we have our fourth tag team in LeeJM and WinnyThePoo with just 2 teams left to determine.
The remaining numbers for selection are: 6, 8, 9, 11.0 -

Raw has come and gone and that means we are at the halfway stage of our ninth gameweek. I'll begin this update by revealing the scores for Raw, then I'll reveal how each tag team fared, and then I'll finish with the latest in our league table. Read on for more...*Note - Raw spoilers below. Do not read further if you do not want news of Raw.*

Raw Fallout
I end up with the highest score for Raw this week due to wins for Sami Zayn, Cesaro and my captain Brian Kendrick.
The second highest scores go to Cheese Wagstaff and DM_7 with their scores coming from wins by Braun Strowman, Cesaro and Sheamus, plus an appearance point for Kevin Owens.
The average score for Raw this week was 11 points.
Now let's see what that means for the Tag Team Tournament standings...Tag Team Tournament
1. Cheesy Guys (Cheese Wagstaff and Mr.Nice Guy) - 36
2. Bounty Hunter and Gaw_ - 23
= P.D.M.21/7 aka Pretty Damn Mean 21/7 (paulie21 and DM_7) - 23
3. L.I.B.: Los Ingobernables de Boards (LeeJM and WinnyThePoo) - 19
4. A Daithi Guy (A Brad Maddox Guy and daithi1989) - 18
= BeakerKan14 (beakerjoe and Kankan14) - 18
Tag Team Tournament Fallout
It's the Cheesy Guys that lead the way at this early stage with us both achieving a pretty good lead; elsewhere it's still pretty close on the leaderboard.
I should point out that in the event teams wind up on a tie, the team with the most from the captaincy choices will get the advantage. Of course this week there will be no eliminations but the first one will come in two week's time. Smackdown ought to make a big difference in how things shape up.
And finally let's see how our league table looks following Raw...Gameweek 9 Standings (Post-Raw)
1. DM_7...........................................................................268 points
2. Bounty Hunter...............................................................253 points
3. Mr.Nice Guy..................................................................235 points
4. paulie21.......................................................................231 points

10. Kankan14....................................................................195 points
11. Gaw_.........................................................................188 points
12. WinnyThePoo...............................................................156 points
League Fallout
The league leader DM_7 moves further ahead at the top and take his lead out to 15 points.
The only movement sees me moving up two places to third position.Raw results
Brian Kendrick defeated T.J. Perkins.
Braun Strowman defeated Chase Silver.
Sami Zayn defeated Titus O'Neil.
Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson defeated The Golden Truth.
Big E and Xavier Woods defeated Jeri-KO.
Tony Nese defeated Rich Swann.
Cesaro and Sheamus defeated Raul White and Mark Carradine.
Sasha Banks defeated Charlotte to become Raw Women's Champion.
Strowman is doing well for those who have him. I wonder will his ownership rise in the coming weeks.
