Raw Fallout
It's Mr. Guappa that gets the highest score for Raw thanks to wins from Elias and Jason Jordan, plus an Enzo appearance point. KayJay86 gets the next highest score thanks to a Braun Strowman win, plus two points for his captain Sasha Banks and an appearance point for Enzo.
With many of us loading up on Smackdown talent this was quite a low scoring week for Raw, with an average of just 5 points.
Now let's see what the Raw scores mean for the Cup ties...PW Fantasy Cup Quarter-Final 1st Leg (Latest Scores)
Mr. Guappa 36 - 5 Necrominus
Gaw_34 - 22 Bounty Hunter
daithi1989 15 - 26 Cheese Wagstaff
lycan238 6 - 25 Kankan14
Fantasy Cup Fallout
It's proving to be a great week for Mr. Guappa, which is bad news for his cup opponent Necrominus as Mr. Guappa races into a lead of over thirty points.
Kankan14 has also pushed out his lead over lycan238. It's still possible for Necrominus and lycan238 to turn this around but they'll need to start picking up points soon.
The other ties have not changed much with Gaw_ and Cheese Wagstaff leading by 12 and 11 points respectively.
And now let's see how the league looks as we prepare for Smackdown...Gameweek 9 Standings (Post-Raw)
1. Mr. Guappa........................................................................250 points
2. daithi1989.........................................................................241 points

League Fallout
The big news from Raw involves the top with Mr. Guappa edging further in front following his great Raw score. Well played to our new leader. daithi1989 meanwhile joins Gaw_ in joint second position.
At the other end, KayJay86's good score gives him some breathing space ahead of the bottom four in the Deletion Zone.Raw results
Jason Jordan defeated Karl Anderson.
Elias defeated Apollo Crews.
Braun Strowman defeated Matt Hardy.
The Brian Kendrick and Jack Gallagher defeated Cedric Alexander and Mustafa Ali.
Emma defeated Sasha Banks, Alicia Fox, Bayley and Dana Brooke to win a Fatal 5-Way Elimination Match.
Kalisto defeated Enzo Amore to win the Cruiserweight Title.
Kalisto scored a big win over the most popular pick in the game, Enzo Amore. Kalisto is currently available in the Lower Tier and features in no sides. Are you tempted to transfer him in? And are Enzo's owners worried about keeping him?

The game may be under way but new players are always welcome. Places for the cup tournaments are now closed but the league is still open; sign up now to get involved.
That wraps up the Raw update. On to Smackdown to finish off the week, and with many players having plenty of Smackdown talent this week it should hopefully make tonight's Smackdown more interesting than usual.0 -

Smackdown is complete for the week and so too is our gameweek. Below you will find the scores for last night's show, the 1st leg scores for the Fantasy Cup quarter-finals, and we finish with a look at the latest league table. Read on for the latest news...

Smackdown Fallout
Mr. Guappa's excellent week continues as he follows up getting the most points on Raw by getting the most points on Smackdown too. Wins for his captain Chad Gable, plus Shinsuke Nakamura and Randy Orton got him his score.
The second highest score is shared by Gaw_ and paulie21; both men had Orton in their line-up, with Gaw_ having Shelton Benjamin as his captain, and paulie putting the captaincy on his partner, Gable.
The average score for Smackdown was 7 points.
Now let's see what the scores mean for the first leg of the Fantasy Cup ties...PW Fantasy Cup Quarter-Final 1st Leg (Results)
Mr. Guappa 54 - 5 Necrominus
Gaw_48 - 33 Bounty Hunter
daithi1989 24 - 36 Cheese Wagstaff
lycan238 6 - 35 Kankan14
Fantasy Cup Fallout
Unfortunately for Necrominus he picked a bad time to have an off week as Mr. Guappa storms into a lead of almost fifty points. While there is a second leg to come in two weeks it would take a turnaround of monumental proportions to swing this tie. Still, it ain't over til it's over.
Similarly, lycan238 has a tall order to stop Kankan14 who has a lead of nearly thirty points. Turning that tie around is more feasible but would still be a sizeable task.
In the two other ties, Gaw_ and Cheese Wagstaff have a current lead of fifteen and twelve points respectively. Those are solid scores but by no means comfortable leads so it's very much all to play for there.
The Cup quarter-final second leg ties will take place on Gameweek #11.
Now let's see how our league table looks at the end of the week...Gameweek 9 Standings
1. Mr. Guappa........................................................................268 points
2. Gaw_................................................................................255 points

League Fallout
The main news following Smackdown is that the league leader Mr. Guappa has further strengthened his hold at the top, with a lead now of thirteen points. Well done to him.
The nearest challenger is now Gaw_ who takes sole possession of second place after a strong Smackdown performance. paulie21 has also moved up a place.Smackdown results.
Chad Gable and Shelton Benjamin defeated The Hype Bros, The Ascension and Breezango.
Becky Lynch defeated Carmella.
Shinsuke Nakamura and Randy Orton defeated Rusev and Aiden English.
Baron Corbin defeated AJ Styles
The US Champ Baron Corbin picked up his second big win this week. Corbin is a Main Event Tier option but features in no teams at present. Is he worth a transfer?
Orton meanwhile continued his good form of late.On to Gameweek #10 (The Tag Team Tournament returns!)...Tag Team Tournament Standings
1. Team Smackdown (Lord TSC and Ruat Caelum) - 40
2. LYCAN YOU DIG IT....SUCKAAAA?? (lycan238 and Cheese Wagstaff - 33
3. O-Kay Guys (KayJay86 and Mr.Nice Guy) - 33
4. -1989 (Necrominus and daithi1989) - 28
5. GBH (Mr. Guappa and Bounty Hunter) - 25
= JoeMonty (beakerjoe and montyrebel) - 25
6. paulie21 and Gaw_ - 24
It was an exciting opening to the tag tournament as Lord TSC and Ruat Caelum turned around a deficit that had them bottom of the ladder after Raw, to roar to the top of the standings after Smackdown - hence their tag team name.
As well as that we saw the team of 1493 (Kankan14 and Lithium_93) become the first duo to be eliminated from the tournament, with just a single point being the difference that enabled paulie21 and Gaw_ to survive.
We may be in for similar drama this week as once again we will lose the tag team that is bottom of the ladder at the end of the week. It's very close for the most part and it could well be another nail-biting finish.
Deadline
The deadline for Gameweek 10 will be before the start of Monday Night Raw.Transfers and Captaincy
You can now 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 legit 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 tournaments are now closed but the league is still open; sign up now to get involved.
That concludes the update. Good luck to all players for the week ahead. Gameweek #10 is now open for business.0 -

"Stand back - there's a hurricane coming through."
Okay folks, given that hundreds of thousands are without power, and the possibility that number could rise later, we will not proceed with play over the next few days. Although I've received line-ups from around half of you, it remains to be seen whether others are in a position to do so; and the fact that this is a tag tournament week makes things even trickier.
Therefore Raw and Smackdown will not be counted this week. On the bright side, at least it means we won't be losing any tag team this week after all. The tag team tournament will now return in a fortnight.
Those of us who have posted teams for this week should keep in mind that these changes won't now be taken on board, and that line-ups will revert back to the way they were previously.
All players please check back here on Wednesday where I will reveal (power permitting) details for the TLC PPV Bonus that will be coming up. The PPV week will also see the second leg of the Fantasy Cup quarter-finals taking place.
Hope that's understandable and people aren't too disappointed.0 -

Will we be able to make more transfers for Sunday since we missed out on 2 this week?
Yes players can make two changes starting from Wednesday when I'll be posting up details on the bonus for the TLC PPV on Sunday. I will also do a roster update as I need to make Asuka available, as well as somebody else (Raw spoiler
).
Those who made changes prior to the postponement will have their team revert back to the way it was. For example, I had taken out Kevin Owens and Chad Gable to bring in Braun Strowman and Dean Ambrose - but since this week was a write-off that means I go back to having Owens and Gable.0 -

But there wont be any additional transfers to make up for the lack of transfers this week, right.
Would you be open to that? As I had planned on taking all my smackdown guys out before the raw ppv (2 out before this week and 2 out before the weekend)0 -

I don't mind either way to be honest. Not going to make much difference to me though!
If there's a consensus for I'm happy to go along with that. 0 -

I will have a post up shortly on what to expect for the upcoming PPV Week and an update on how many transfers you can make, but first it's time to update the roster...
IN
It is time for the Fantasy League debut of Asuka. Asuka will now be available for transfers from the Main Event Tier section.
Kane is back and is returning this Sunday at the TLC PPV. He will be available for selection as an Upper Tier pick.
Joe is reportedly close to a return so he will return to the Main Event Tier. No date has been confirmed for his return though so I'd suggest he's best avoided for the moment.
OUT
Jeff is reportedly out for four to six months and so it's unlikely he'll feature in the game again this year.
Neville appears to be in a contract dispute with the company and is looking to get out of his contract. It's questionable whether we will see him in a WWE ring any time soon.
Here then is the updated roster:The Roster

Right let's try this one more time!
As we know our tenth gameweek was interrupted by the weather but now hopefully the storm has passed and we can get back to business.
This upcoming week is an important week with the 2nd leg of the Fantasy Cup quarter-finals taking place. This was the state of play at the end of the first leg:PW Fantasy Cup Quarter-Final (Latest)
Mr. Guappa 54 - 5 Necrominus
Gaw_48 - 33 Bounty Hunter
daithi1989 24 - 36 Cheese Wagstaff
lycan238 6 - 35 Kankan14
Some ties are clearly closer than others but with this being a PPV week there should be plenty of points on offer. We ought to know by the end of the week who our four semi-finalists are.
*****Transfers - Extra one on offer*****
Following on from the discussion last night, and due to the fact that the weather upset a lot of plans, this week players will have the option of making THREE transfers instead of the usual two.
Players should keep in mind that any transfers made for the previous postponed week will have been made void. That means your team will have reverted back to the way it was at the end of gameweek 9. For example, I had taken out Kevin Owens and Chad Gable to bring in Braun Strowman and Dean Ambrose - but since the previous week was a write-off that means I go back to having Kevin Owens and Chad Gable.
*****TLC Bonus Pts*****
Since it's a PPV week there will be a bonus involved and it will concern the main event. The bonus is simply this:
Predict which of the 8 men in the match will be pinned (or submit).
The match I understand is a single pinfall contest with no eliminations involved, so the first man pinned loses the contest for his team.
Therefore you have to predict which man the WWE bookers will make the literal fall guy for the match. This is a tricky challenge because you're not only thinking about who you think will lose, but which guy takes the loss.
If you correctly predict the guy to take the loss then you pocket an extra 5 points.
Note - You will not lose points for an incorrect prediction so it's worth your while taking a guess.
(If the WWE decide to change things at the last minute and they make it elimination rules then the bonus will have to be scrapped - hopefully Vinny Mac doesn't change things at the last minute on me)
So your submission for this week, if you are taking on the gamble, 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
TLC Bonus:
_____________ will take the pin (or submit).
Hopefully that's clear but any questions, feel free to ask away.
Deadline
As it's a PPV week the deadline this time will be before the first pre-show match of TLC on Sunday, October 22nd.
Transfers and Captaincy
For this week you can now make up to 3 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 legit 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 tournaments are now closed but the league is still open; sign up now to get involved.
That concludes this preview for the week ahead. Good luck to players, particularly those in the Cup, and use your three transfers wisely. Gameweek #10 (again) is open for business.0 -
