    I previously referred to this as the quarter finals but it actually isn't, we've a round of 16 to get through first.

    Round of 16 (2 legs) - GW31 & 32

    ADMMM vs AdpRo
    Menoscemo vs Dahat
    Alchemist33 vs Ziegler1988
    Skippy15 vs PARlance
    F1ngers vs tom_k
    Richieffff vs ScienceNerd
    ItsChecoTime vs P.Walnuts
    Rikand vs Swiper the fox

    If my calculations are correct, nobody has previously played. That may be harder to avoid in future rounds though.

    Ooooh, we'll be down to the final two in the last longest anyway after that...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,828 ✭✭✭✭dahat


    Game face is on....

    First look we have 7 of same players with a Saints defender in common. This tie could be settled on a 3 v 3 player game.

    Overall rank of 343 for my opponent, draw was not kind at all

    Did the 4 left all draw each other? I knew there were 4 left but wasn't aware of the four.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,828 ✭✭✭✭dahat


    Yes indeed, fair old wedge at stake as well. Makes it very interesting.

    Haha, I assure you it was randomly done, although I did separate the two sides into two groups of 8, a top half and bottom half, to avoid teams playing those they may already have played.

    Bring it ooooooon :D

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    You obviously haven't looked at my team:P
    Paddy Power would have you about 2 to 1 on.

    How many more Defoe drops until your TV is below 100m?

    8 weeks to go, he should be available for 3.1m for that plum home game against Leicester on that final Sunday, nobody will still want him and I'll have the last laugh when he bangs in 5 wearing my armband in the ultimate differential captain pick passing you in the process to win the Boards pay league.:eek::)

    Plenty to consider. Quite a few similar so who makes the better transfer could win the tie with it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,969 ✭✭✭✭alchemist33


    Up against Ziegler1988 next. Some of my boys are relishing the big team draw while some are s***ing themselves.

    I've told the lads to ignore the large points gap I have on you in the league and prove their quality over two legs. This team still has the treble within its sights and will stop at nothing to emulate the greats.


  • Registered Users Posts: 742 ✭✭✭ItsChecoTime


    Here's the team ID's for some snooping

    ADMMM (1027618) vs AdpRo (311082)
    Menoscemo (2056508) vs Dahat (35074)
    Alchemist33 (23287) vs Ziegler1988 (2059)
    Skippy15 (112039) vs PARlance (518685)
    F1ngers (17677) vs tom_k (4363)
    Richieffff (63443) vs ScienceNerd (5007)
    ItsChecoTime (220906) vs P.Walnuts (444217)
    Rikand (350007) vs Swiper the fox (71690)

    Juicy draw against P.Walnuts for myself, hopefully will keep up the giant-killing

    Bugger; you've got costa :o I was hoping he might be a differential. You have actually outscored me the past 2 weeks and you're team looks slightly stronger. If we say your Ozil = my Cazorla then we have the same front 7 and your Bertie is definitely better than my Alder as is your Ivanovic to any of my other defenders. I am going to have to make a good transfer this week i think...

    BTW with Dawson and Bellerin we actually have 8 same players...

    Myself and AdpRo should be a great tie. From GW14 on we have been pretty much tracking each other after both having a less than stellar start to the season.

    Our teams are similar enough to guarantee it to be close and I have a feeling that it could come down to Austin's DGW vs Costa!

    Or make no transfer. Gamble on overturning a possible deficit with 2 transfers, very interesting few days ahead.

    We've got fairly similar front 7 players, fancy you have the edge though, my defence needs major surgery! Best of luck anyway

    PS Given my form since Christmas, giant killing it surely isn't :pac:

    Who said I won't have Austin come saturday week!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,472 ✭✭✭AdMMM


    Touché. Let the mind games begin.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,424 ✭✭✭✭Rikand


    here we go again.... GL Swiper ;)


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,747 ✭✭✭Ziegler1988


    Me: Panti, Naughton, Terry, Clyne, Silva, Costa(c)

    Alchemist: Myhill, Bellerin, Schlupp, PVA, Sanchez, Benteke(c)

    Will certainly be an interesting 1st leg with so many differentials and captain


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,828 ✭✭✭✭dahat


    Menoscemo (2056508) vs Dahat (35074)

    Menooscemo: PVA,Panti,Bellrin, Cazorla and Hazard captain

    Me: Ivanovic,Berty,Myhill,Ozil with Costa as captain.

    Again a very interesting first leg with this also being a semi final in the Last man Standing competition as well.

    So glad at the moment that I sold Rose for Naughton and not Bellerin, but on the flip side, your Ozil is looking good!!

    It looks like it's going to come down to who does better between Hazard and costa.

    Yup, but you have the weapons to catch up. Mane benched too, darnit


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,747 ✭✭✭Swiper the fox


    Rikand has Austin but he captained Kane:p
    It's gonna be in the balance anyway I'd say.

    Well Costa on bench is a disaster for me. Hope he bloody stays there.

    I was thinking to myself - You know, I might switch captaincy to Austin..... Looked at the clock and it was 11:35

    Such is life!

    Come on Kane hat-trick! :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,969 ✭✭✭✭alchemist33

    Silva could well eat into my lead on Monday and leave it all to play for.

    13 points down. Need Hurricane to go absolutely mental

    And then Austin to also go absolutely mental :D

    Two legs in this right??
    It'll be tight after this week, looking at my team I should be strong enough for next week, probably move Benteke straight out but tough to pick my defence with a lot of options.

    7pts plus whatever Panti and PVA get. Could hit near 20 at worse case scenario.

    Definitely look the outsider now but I will fight on.

    Ah, unlucky today. I was very close to captaining Costa myself.

    If it's any consolation I think I will have to take a hit next week, team is a bit of a mess at the moment...

    Mine is no better but won't be taking a hit. Costa out be my only move but it won't be enough to claw back the gap


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,340 ✭✭✭✭PARlance


    52 -34 lead over Skippy.

    My: Green, Silva, Aguero (c), Kane & Austin
    His: Heaton, Rose, Eriksen, Silva, Aguero, Kane & Tekkers (c)

    Hoping City go crazy and a Green cs against Villa would be a massive result against his (c).
    I've 2 Ft's coming into next week, very glad I stuck with Sanchez.

    My bad, didn't realise that when I reposted them!

    Down 38-52 to P. Walnuts, need an Aguero show tomorrow to claw back the deficit


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 10,417 Mod ✭✭✭✭F1ngers


    I'm 8 points behind tom_k with Benteke(C) left to play.
    We both have Silva and Aguero.
