    I've done quite well both years, in my first year of FPL I joined late and it was undoubtedly the high point of my year, I think I won about 8 games that year, hence I have a real soft spot for this cup.:o

    Yeh I've had a good couple of runs down the years its pretty pointless really though!

    Nice little head start to have! I am playing a dead team that have baines, Cahill, terry and ddg at the back so worried they could rack up some points there and they have Rooney captain which could be dangerous too.

    PLaying a zombie team that will only field nine players. But he has got Rooney as captain, but tbh, I should fly this game. His big players bar Rooney I have too so it should be fine.

    My sort of zombie opponent has Ivan, Terry, yaya and Siggy that could all cause big problems for me, but he is very unlikely to field more than 9.

    I honestly think this competition deserves it's own thread, I've never entered any of those other comps that are discussed on the other thread, I'd imagine most of us haven't. This one is compulsory:P

    I'm paired against a zombie team that could easily knock me out, same as last year.

    Into round 4 of the Fantasy Football Scout cup. Yet another difficult fixture.

    I'm up against a guy in the FPL Cup whose team lies in that part of the spectrum where zombie meets casual.

    He's made transfers in GWs 3, 4, 7, 8, 10 and 15 only. He's ranked 954668 but has a fairly viable team that includes Demichelis, Jagielka, Ivanovic, Sterling, Fab, Sanchez, Costa and Kane.

    I am concerned.

    Up against someone similar, with his last GW transfers on the 15 GW. I'm scared he has a formidable team with no bench (but all 11 look like they will play). He is currently 800k OR

    DDG, Ivanovic, Fab, Di Maria, Sanchez, Sterling, Costa, Kane.

    The deciding factors from his team & mine are

    Ivanovic - Azpil
    DiMaria - Hazard
    Fab - Siggy
    Cattermole - Yaya
    Kane - Austin

    It pretty much can go either way!

    Up against a zombie team (since GW10) but they look very dangerous. All of his 15 are fit and playing. Lots of good players that I don't have (Southampton defenders, Fabregas, Siggy) my only saving Grace is that he has Wellback as captain, not a good choice overall but as a once off could be dangerous.

    They are playing QPR who are woeful away from home (lost all PL away games this season).

    That is very dangerous!

    No way this could come back to haunt you! How bad is their team? Do they have Aguero (c) Dzeko (vc) or something?

    In fairness he has Fab vice captain and Adebayor captain. Also has Shurrle Ramires & Sturridge Dier & Siggy.

    He has gained the last few weeks though up to a lofty 3,120,629

    Fab VC could come in! Schurrle might get a game if the Hazard ankle is worse than first thought looks pretty safe though a lot safer than my opponent anyway!

    Ya the only danger is Fab doing well for him - possible enough. He had 44 points last GW versus my 77. I've never made it through 2 rounds of the cup so it would be nice to get on a run this year.

    Up against a lad who's at 900k from Stoke. He has a surprisingly decent team however - Clyne, Bertrand, Hazard, Sanchez, Costa and Sakho included.

    Another knockout cup competition for me to crash and burn in :)

    Up against a zombie from Sweden at 2.5m. Rooney captain. Terry, Azpi and if Cech plays could be sketchy. Silva, Skrtel and Puncheon the other players of note. Hopefully should get past him but lets wait for Cech to play and Frazier Campbell to get a hat-trick all assisted by Puncheon :pac:

    There is a cup thread going already. My opponent had terry, Cahill, eriksen and rooney (c) but the total from the reat was <5 so it was pretty comfortable.

    Edit: wow that was a quick merge!!

    Out of the cup by a zombie team.

    Sterling - Silva - Sanchez - Sigurdsson midfield.

    But that's the cup!

    And so it did. His Rooney(c), Terry, and Rosicky(lol) put him on his way to 89 points. He's laughing at me in zombie land.

    My zombie rose from the dead to win 83-71 with Captain Rooney, Silva, Terry (coming off the bench) and Skrtel doing most of the damage. A surprise that Mark Noble and Frazier Campbell only got 1 pointers while Ozil, Lovren and Cech didn't even start so I guess I can count myself lucky it wasn't more.

    At least my proud tradition of going out in the 1st round of a knockout cup continues :(
