The much talked about TLC PPV has concluded and that means we are 1/3 of the way through this important gameweek. I'll begin the update by revealing everyone's scores for last night, what they mean for the Fantasy Cup ties, and finally the latest league standings. Read on for more...

TLC Fallout
It is Bounty Hunter who can celebrate the most as he picks up the best score from TLC, with 5 of his team achieving wins: Asuka, Alexa Bliss, Dean Ambrose, Jason Jordan, and his captain Enzo Amore, while AJ Styles provided an appearance point. He also got the bonus right.
beakerjoe secured the second highest score via the same wrestlers, minus AJ Styles, giving him a great return too. He too got the bonus correct.
With regards the bonus, seven players correctly predicted that the bookers would have Miz be the fall guy. These players were: beakerjoe and Bounty Hunter as noted, as well as daithi1989, Gaw_, Lord TSC, myself and paulie21. These players all pocket an extra 5 points.
This was a high scoring start to the week with an average of 24 points.
Now let us see what these scores mean for the second leg of the Cup quarter-finals...PW Fantasy Cup Quarter-Final 2nd Leg (Latest Scores)
Mr. Guappa 85 - 31 Necrominus
Gaw_80 - 69 Bounty Hunter
daithi1989 51 - 66 Cheese Wagstaff
lycan238 30 - 58 Kankan14
Fantasy Cup Fallout
It was always going to be important for Necrominus to try to eat into the lead of Mr. Guappa starting with the PPV, but a strong score for Mr. Guappa sees him extend his lead. It appears he is all but guaranteed a place in the Cup semi-finals.
Kankan14 also looks well placed to advance, although the tie is not quite over. The two other ties remain very much up for grabs as we head towards Raw.
Finally, let us see how our league table looks following the PPV...Gameweek 10 Standings (Post-PPV)
1. Mr. Guappa........................................................................299 points
2. Gaw_................................................................................287 points

League Fallout
Well done to Mr. Guappa who remains at the top with a lead that now stands at twelve points over nearest challenger Gaw_.
In terms of climbers, beakerjoe has risen to third place on the back of his strong score, while Bounty Hunter and paulie21 also rise a place. Lithum_93 goes level with Ruat Caelum in the Deletion Zone but KayJay86 is proving difficult to catch and continues to evade the bottom four.TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs results
Sasha Banks defeated Alicia Fox.
Asuka defeated Emma.
Cedric Alexander and Rich Swann defeated Jack Gallagher and The Brian Kendrick.
Alexa Bliss defeated Mickie James.
Enzo Amore defeated Kalisto to win the Cruiserweight Title.
Finn Balor defeated AJ Styles.
Jason Jordan defeated Elias.
Kurt Angle, Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose defeated The Miz, Sheamus, Cesaro, Braun Strowman and Kane. (The Miz was pinned)
Enzo justified his place as most popular pick and most selected captain.
Cedric Alexander and Rich Swann may also now be on the radar following their win.

Raw Fallout
Bounty Hunter's great week continues as he follows up getting the highest score for TLC by getting the joint-highest score for Raw. Wins for Dean Ambrose, Jason Jordan, Asuka and AJ Styles, plus two points via captain Enzo, resulted in the return. I equalled the same score via wins from my captain Dean Ambrose, Asuka and Styles, plus appearance points from Cesaro and Enzo.
The average score for Raw was 13 points.
Now let us see what the scores mean for the Cup ties...PW Fantasy Cup Quarter-Final 2nd Leg (Latest Scores)
Mr. Guappa 102 - 44 Necrominus
Gaw_95 - 89 Bounty Hunter
daithi1989 59 - 82 Cheese Wagstaff
lycan238 49 - 65 Kankan14
Fantasy Cup Fallout
It looks like all but one of the ties are settled as we head into Smackdown with Mr. Guappa's terrific form continuing and he even breaks the century mark in his tie which is very impressive. It's a hard score for Necrominus to take but I don't think any player would stand a chance in this tie to be fair.
Cheese Wagstaff looks to have won the battle of the former league champs as that lead looks impossible to claw back. lycan238 has done well to cut into Kankan14's lead but by my reckoning the lead is too much to overcome on Smackdown.
The tie that looks most in the balance is the one between Bounty Hunter and Gaw_. BH's excellent week has seen him reduce the gap to six points but the problem for him is that he has just one wrestler remaining - Chad Gable. Gaw_meanwhile has just Jey Uso remaining. A Gable win and nothing for Jey
would still see BH miss out by a point. If Gable were to do double duty tonight then it could be feasible but that would be a long shot.
The wildcard in the situation concerns whether or not Raw wrestlers will be on matches based on the events at the end of Raw. While an invasion on the show looks possible, I'd imagine matches for Raw wrestlers would be highly unlikely, but if that were to happen then things could be all to play for.
We should know tomorrow the final four left in the Cup.
Finally let's assess the league table heading into Smackdown...Gameweek 10 Standings (Post-Raw)
1. Mr. Guappa........................................................................316 points
2. Gaw_................................................................................302 points
3. beakerjoe..........................................................................298 points

League Fallout
Forget Austin 3:16 because as our league table now shows, it's all about Mr. Guappa: 316 points, as he edges a little further ahead at the top.
In terms of climbers, Bounty Hunter's strong form sees him take fifth spot, while myself and Lord TSC have each climbed a place. Meanwhile montyrebel remains in the Deletion Zone, however a good Raw score means he has jumped two places.Raw results.
AJ Styles, Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose defeated The Miz, Sheamus and Cesaro.
Kane defeated Finn Balor.
Asuka defeated Emma.
Jason Jordan defeated Elias via D.Q.
Alicia Fox defeated Sasha Banks and Bayley.
Kalisto, Cedric Alexander, Rich Swann, Mustafa Ali and Gran Metalik defeated Enzo Amore, Tony Nese, Drew Gulak, Noam Dar and Ariya Daivari
Kane appears to be on the receiving end of a big push and looks good value in the Upper Tier. No one has him in their side at present. Are you tempted to bring him in?
Plenty of others are looking promising options now too: Alicia Fox and a whole host of cruiserweights may see a lot of interest.

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 Raw update. On to Smackdown to finish the week.
P.S. There will be an important announcement about the game next week so check the thread tomorrow for that.0 -

You're right, I forgot AJ could still wrestle again!
Looking at it again, if Gable and AJ wrestle and win, and Jey Uso either loses or doesn't compete, then I believe you would win the tie.
I'm excited for this now myself.

I will also reveal details on a very special week that is coming up, plus preview the tag tournament that returns. Read on for more...

Smackdown Fallout
I wind up with the highest score for Smackdown courtesy of wins from AJ Styles, Chad Gable, plus a Charlotte appearance point. Bounty Hunter achieves the second highest score via wins from Styles and Gable.
The average score for Smackdown was 4 points.
Now let us see the final results of the quarter-final ties and discover the four semi-finalists...PW Fantasy Cup Quarter-Final 2nd Leg (Results)
Mr. Guappa 106 - 44 Necrominus
Gaw_ 95 - 98 Bounty Hunter
daithi1989 64 - 87 Cheese Wagstaff
lycan238 50 - 70 Kankan14
Fantasy Cup Fallout
There's only one place to start and that is with the remarkable comeback victory of Bounty Hunter over Gaw_. At the end of the first leg BH trailed this tie by fifteen points but an excellent week has seen him complete a great comeback. Going into Smackdown BH needed wins for Chad Gable and AJ Styles plus Gaw_'s Jey Uso to either not compete or, if he did, to lose. And that is what happened. Well done to BH and commiserations to Gaw_ who managed the best score of the defeated quarter-final players.
Mr. Guappa's victory had been clear for some time and he finishes with a whopping century-plus score. Necrominus can at least take some consolation in knowing that no player could have lived with his form over the two legs.
In the battle of the former league champs, it is the game's first champ Cheese Wagstaff who takes the glory over our reigning champ daithi1989.
In our final tie, Kankan14 sees off the spirited challenge of lycan238, who at least managed to narrow the gap from the first leg. Ultimately the margin was always going to be really tough to overcome.
Congratulations then to our four semi-finalists. Since the path to the final was determined in the draw at the end of gameweek 8, we know what the semi-final looks like and it is as follows:Kankan14 vs Mr. Guappa
Bounty Hunter vs Cheese Wagstaff
Two very exciting ties there which should prove tough going for everyone.
The semi-final ties will take place over two legs with the first leg occurring on Gameweek #12 and the second leg on Gameweek #14.
In the event of a game finishing as a draw, the player with the most points from their captaincy choices over the two legs will advance.
In the event that this doesn't give us a winner, then a special one-off replay will determine the winner.
Good luck to our final four.
Now let us see how the league table looks at the end of this week...Gameweek 10 Standings

Well done to Mr. Guappa who is having a very satisfactory week. Not only does he secure a Cup semi-final place but he pushes his lead at the top out to seventeen points.
In other news, beakerjoe has risen a place to take hold of second position. Bounty Hunter has also risen a place to enter the top four.Smackdown results.
Shelton Benjamin and Chad Gable defeated Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston.
Sin Cara defeated Baron Corbin via D.Q.
AJ Styles defeated Sunil Singh.
Becky Lynch defeated Carmella, Naomi, Tamina and Charlotte.
Randy Orton defeated Sami Zayn
Becky appears to be figuring much higher in the company's thoughts. She is available as a Main Event Tier option but currently features in no teams. Are you tempted to bring her in?
On to Gameweek #11 (Tag Tournament and a Special Week)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
We were supposed to lose our second tag team from the contest last time but storm Ophelia disrupted plans. Now it's back to business and once again we will lose the bottom team from the ladder at the end of the week.
And as you will see below, the special week coming up will play a significant factor...
*****Points Loss Week*****
The scariest week of the year, Halloween week, is coming up and we will be continuing the tradition of previous years of the game by bringing back the scariest week of our game: the points loss. This is the one week in which players may lose points if the wrestlers in their line-up suffer defeats.
Up to now, if your wrestler loses a match you have to make do with just one appearance point. This week, if your wrestler loses, you will still get the 1 appearance point but you will also lose 4 points for the defeat; so effectively you're looking at a minus three score for a loss.
There's more: if you stick the captaincy on a wrestler that loses, the loss will be doubled!
The points loss will be the same for wrestlers in all tiers. (Points for wins will operate as they always do).
Players who have played the game in previous years I'm sure will agree that this is one of the trickiest hurdles of the competition. Ending up with a minus score is a real possiblity if you have a particularly bad week. You must think extra carefully about your decisions. And when it comes to the tag tournament, a loss of points won't just affect you but also your partner. It should make this an exciting week ahead.
Deadline
The deadline for Gameweek 11 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. But remember this week if your captain loses, the points loss will be doubled.
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. As noted above, we're back to having two transfers for the week ahead.
Good luck for this tricky period of the game. Gameweek #11 is now open for business.0 -
