    Sources in Cavan can reveal (iirc) that there are two groups which I would class Groups of Death, with a few regular posters pitted against each other.

    Glad to see the interest this is drumming up.

    Definitely think it is going to be one that captures the imagination so often these things die out but there are so many regs and its so competitive it should be pretty fun!

    Delighted to get in and looking forward to this. Also delighted to be in pot 4 and avoid the other big hitters :p
    My ranking last year was my worst ever as I had taken a few years sabbatical from the game and was totally out of touch at the start of last season. Once things went wrong I never got it back!! The previous season I had played before that (2011/12) I finished at 4k and I'd be delighted with the same again this year.

    Looking forward to the draw and if you need any other volunteers to help out with the tables I can do so.

    Great delaying tactics by Lemlin to increase the interest levels.

    I bet when he does show up we'll have to wait for them to come back from an ad break before the big reveal.

    I'll start a thread in the next twenty minutes. I'll post a start off post with the rules etc. and then will start posting the groups and fixtures one after the next Groups A to P. This will take 16 additional comments so would appreciate if people don't jump in with comments on that thread until I have all the Groups up to Group P posted.

    Not happy at all, the draw has pitted me against some sterling competitors.

    My group is going to be tough.

    Seed 1: Iusedtolikebusts - 2045 global ranking.
    Seed 2: Trigger - 11524 global ranking.
    Seed 3: Santry red - 1628 Global ranking
    Seed 4: F1ngers - 224815 Global ranking.

    Yeah, I may be top seed, but I'm bottom ranked of my 3 opponents. I finished bottom in my group last year from top seed, may be looking at a difficult run this year. No way I'll be continuing my top seed next year tbh.

    zarquon and I continue our mini rivalry since the end of December in Group I. I pipped him the Boards Pay League December MOM thanks to a Siggy goal and then took 3 points the following week in the Pay League H2H. Will my good run continue in the Champions Cup? Haven't played Lucas Hood or Kilburn before but looking forward to my first wins against them :).

    Group N:

    Seed 1: Qwabercd - 3840 OR
    Seed 2: TaytoCrisps - 27692 OR
    Seed 3: Mr Prodston - 6326 OR
    Seed 4: OneColdHand - 846 OR

    The Mr.P brand will probably look to move my tie with OneColdHand to Dubai or Qatar for a money spinning tie that every FPL fan will want to see

    Really is a tough group. Beauty of it is though that both you and f1ngers have their wildcards active this week. Literally anything can happen!
