No Mercy has finished and that means we are 1/3 of the way through our tenth gameweek. This week marks the first leg of the Fantasy Cup quarter-final ties and I will begin by revealing the latest scores, before finishing up with the latest in our league table. Read on for more...
*Note - No Mercy spoilers below. Do not read further if you do not want news of the PPV.*PW Fantasy Cup Quarter-Finals - 1st Leg (Latest Scores)
Mr.Nice Guy 19 - 24 Kankan14
LeeJM 11 - 15 DM_7
paulie21 20 - 21 Bounty Hunter
daithi1989 23 - 13 beakerjoe
Fantasy Cup Fallout
daithi1989 has made the most impressive start to his cup tie, although there's still plenty of time for beakerjoe to get back into it. The other ties are looking quite close with the tie between paulie21 and Bounty Hunter looking particularly exciting at the moment.
The scores for the other players from last night's PPV were as follows: Gaw_: 17; WinnyThePoo: 12; Cheese Wagstaff: 10; and A Brad Maddox Guy: 7.
As far as the No Mercy bonus was concerned, three players correctly predicted that AJ Styles would win and that John Cena would take the loss; these players were beakerjoe, daithi1989 and paulie21. Congrats to them for successfully getting into the minds of WWE's bookers.
Overall, that means, as you can see, the highest score for No Mercy went to Kankan14; wins for his captain AJ Styles, Heath Slater, Dolph Ziggler, Chad Gable, and an appearance point for Carmella got him his score. The second highest score went to daithi1989 who benefitted from the bonus points, plus wins for Baron Corbin, Dolph Ziggler, his captain AJ Styles, and an appearance point for Jimmy Uso.
The average score for No Mercy was 16 points.
Now let's see where that leaves our league table following No Mercy...Gameweek 10 Standings (Post-PPV)
1. DM_7...........................................................................283 points
2. Bounty Hunter...............................................................275 points
3. Mr.Nice Guy..................................................................260 points

9. LeeJM..........................................................................217 points
10. Gaw_.........................................................................205 points
11. WinnyThePoo...............................................................169 points
League Fallout
The league leader remains DM_7, although his lead has now been cut to 8 points.
As far as climbers go, daithi1989 and beakerjoe move up one to fifth and sixth respectively, while it's exciting down in the Deletion Zone as Kankan14 almost climbs clear due to his impressive PPV score and he now sits alongside Cheese Wagstaff.No Mercy results
The Hype Bros and American Alpha defeated The Vaudevillains and The Ascension.
AJ Styles defeated John Cena and Dean Ambrose.
Nikki Bella defeated Carmella.
Heath Slater and Rhyno defeated The Usos.
Baron Corbin defeated Jack Swagger.
Dolph Ziggler defeated The Miz.

No Mercy saw Luke Harper return from his injury lay-off. I will post a roster update at the end of the gameweek and make him available for selection in the Upper Tier section. There's one or two cruiserweights I will add in that section as well, such as Drew Gulak.Want to join in?
The game may be under way but new players are always welcome. Places for the Cup are now closed but we will still accept players for the league. To sign up simply select a squad from the roster here and you're in.
That's it for the No Mercy update. Next up, Monday Night Raw...0 -

Raw Fallout
You would think with 9 matches on Raw that there would be plenty of points scored this week but that's not the case; most players went very Smackdown-heavy with their line-ups, resulting in the rather low scores.
The highest score goes jointly to A Brad Maddox Guy and LeeJM with the former getting his points via wins for Roman Reigns, TJ Perkins and an appearance from Cesaro, while the latter gets his points via wins from Seth Rollins, TJ Perkins and Cesaro's appearance.
The average score for Raw was just 5 points.
Now let's see what that means for the latest scores in the Cup ties...PW Fantasy Cup Quarter-Finals - 1st Leg (Latest Scores)
Mr.Nice Guy 20 - 25 Kankan14
LeeJM 21 - 21 DM_7
paulie21 26 - 21 Bounty Hunter
daithi1989 29 - 19 beakerjoe
Fantasy Cup Fallout
It's early days but the repeat of last year's final between LeeJM and DM_7 is already shaping up to be a cracker. Elsewhere paulie21 has overtaken Bounty Hunter in their tie, while myself and beakerjoe have work to do to overturn our deficits against Kankan14 and daithi1989 respectively.
Finally let us see where it leaves our league table going into the final show of the week...Gameweek 10 Standings (Post-Raw)
1. DM_7...........................................................................289 points
2. Bounty Hunter...............................................................275 points
3. Mr.Nice Guy..................................................................261 points

5. daithi1989....................................................................250 points
6. A Brad Maddox Guy........................................................240 points

11. Gaw_.........................................................................210 points
12. WinnyThePoo...............................................................175 points
League Fallout
Our league leader DM_7 had his lead cut back after No Mercy, but his solid score for Raw edges him further ahead and gives him a current lead of fourteen points.
The only movement sees A Brad Maddox Guy return to the top six following a strong Raw score, while Cheese Wagstaff takes sole possession of eighth place.Raw results
Kofi Kingston defeated Cesaro.
Bayley defeated Cami Fields.
Sin Cara and Lince Dorado defeated Tony Nese and Drew Gulak.
Sami Zayn and Neville defeated Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel.

That's it for the Raw update. On to Smackdown to finish out the week, and with lots of Smackdown wrestlers potentially in play it should be a fun watch.0 -

She is returning soon and Emmalina will be available for selection in the Main Event Tier section.
Luke Harper
Luke Harper will also be available in the Upper Tier section.
James Ellsworth
He appears to be the newest addition to Smackdown and James Ellsworth will be heading to the Lower Tier section.
Kenny and Mikey
Not sure how long they will be around, but Dolph's former friends are listed on WWE's roster page on Wiki as being signed, so The Spirit Squad members Kenny and Mikey will be available to select in the Lower Tier section.

Smackdown is over and so too is our tenth gameweek, but we have also reached another milestone: this is officially the halfway stage of the game. That's right, from here on out we will be closing in on the final stretch. Doesn't time fly?
Below I'll reveal the scores for Smackdown - which were very interesting - what they mean for the Cup ties, before finishing up with the latest in our league standings. Read on for more...

Smackdown Fallout
The highest score for Smackdown this week goes to DM_7 whose captaincy choice of Jimmy Uso paid off in style, aided by a win for Dolph Ziggler and an appearance point for AJ Styles.
The second highest score went to Gaw_ who also benefitted from Jimmy Uso as captain, plus appearance points for AJ Styles and Randy Orton.
This was a fascinating week with a wide range of scores. The average was 7 points.
Now let's see what effect that had on the Fantasy Cup ties...PW Fantasy Cup Quarter-Finals - 1st Leg (Results)
Mr.Nice Guy 21 - 33 Kankan14
LeeJM 22 - 38 DM_7
paulie21 33 - 22 Bounty Hunter
daithi1989 41 - 32 beakerjoe
Fantasy Cup Fallout
It goes to show how quickly these cup ties can change considering I believe after Raw the tie between daithi1989 and beakerjoe had the biggest points difference, yet now it has become the closest of all the ties.
Smackdown has made a big impact on the shape of the ties, particularly the rerun of last year's final, with our Cup winner LeeJM having a lot to do to turn it around; in fact, we have an interesting underdog dynamic in place for each match-up when the second leg takes place in two weeks' time on gameweek 12. Will Kankan14, DM_7, paulie21 and daithi1989 be able to hold on to their leads?
Finally, let's see how our league table looks...Gameweek 10 Standings
1. DM_7...........................................................................306 points
2. Bounty Hunter...............................................................276 points
3. paulie21.......................................................................265 points
4. daithi1989....................................................................262 points
= Mr.Nice Guy..................................................................262 points
5. beakerjoe....................................................................252 points
6. Cheese Wagstaff...........................................................248 points
7. A Brad Maddox Guy.......................................................241 points
8. Kankan14....................................................................238 points
9. LeeJM.........................................................................228 points
10. Gaw_........................................................................224 points
11. WinnyThePoo..............................................................175 points
League Fallout
As we reach the halfway stage of the contest there's no doubt who the man to beat is, and congratulations are due to league leader DM_7 who pushes himself out to a thirty point lead, and breaks the 300 mark in the process. Can he keep up this form as we work our way towards the game's finale?
In other news, paulie21 has taken hold of third place while daithi1989, beakerjoe and Cheese Wagstaff have also been rising. It's getting interesting in the Deletion Zone too as our late entry to the game Gaw_ now breathes down the necks of those just above him after his strong Smackdown score.Smackdown results
Dolph Ziggler defeated The Spirit Squad.
Naomi defeated Carmella.
Jimmy Uso defeated Chad Gable.
James Ellsworth defeated AJ Styles.
Bray Wyatt and Luke Harper defeated Randy Orton and Kane.
Jimmy Uso (pictured left, above) really came through for those who put their faith in him this week.
On to Gameweek #11 (The Tag Tournament Returns)
Yes folks the tag team tournament returns and this week it's a big 'un because we will have our first elimination.
The bottom team on the ladder when the week is finished will be the first team out. Here's a reminder of how things looked last time:Tag Team Tournament Standings
1. Cheesy Guys (Cheese Wagstaff and Mr.Nice Guy) - 42
2. BeakerKan14 (beakerjoe and Kankan14) - 40
3. Bounty Hunter and Gaw_ - 24
= P.D.M.21/7 aka Pretty Damn Mean 21/7 (paulie21 and DM_7) - 24
4. L.I.B.: Los Ingobernables de Boards (LeeJM and WinnyThePoo) - 21
5. A Daithi Guy (A Brad Maddox Guy and daithi1989) - 20
In the event teams are tied for last place, points from captaincy choices will be used to break the deadlock.
One thing I think I neglected to mention last time is that the eventual plan for the tag semi-finals is to have Team #1 on the ladder play Team #4 and Teams #2 and #3 facing off in the other ties.
I'm looking forward to seeing which teams make it through.
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 Cup are now closed but we will still accept players for the league. To sign up simply select a squad from the roster here and you're in.
Good luck for the week ahead, everybody. Gameweek #11 is now open for business.0 -
