Fog Dude Posted May 9, 2023 Author Share Posted May 9, 2023 On 5/6/2023 at 12:46 PM, ultimo the great said: I can also dice slice and julienne Haha, touché. You've had a decent couple of rounds to be fair, avoiding being the lowest scorer last time despite a wrong D2D bet and then this week being the second best performer, a point ahead of anyone else in the top 6. Similarly, seph picked late over the weekend but was nonetheless not among the trio of joint lowest scorers. Now for the bad news: your Cup final opponent, Vegeta, did even better and is now 10 points clear of last place as the only player into double figures for the round. In another development you'll love, the first club matches added to next season's spreadsheet are from Seattle and The Twin Cities. Oh joy! Anyway, as you can probably tell, the results went into the original post on Monday night, with the table being recalculated right away after that. MVP RULZ extends his lead by a point, widening the gap over TildeGuy to 7. The bonuses this time came just from the 'wildcard' which was randomly selected once the scores were in as match #4, the huge clash at St James's Park. A majority of participants correctly thought there'd be a narrow away win, but nobody thought it'd be a comfortable 2-0 victory for the title-chasing Gunners. Elsewhere, triumphs for Chelsea, Spurs, Fulham, Huddersfield, Real Madrid and Bayern generally proved fruitful, but a reverse for Villa, setback for Stuttgart and a ridiculous final-say seven-goal thriller at The Den (which saw both teams miss out on the play-offs in what was surely a swansong for Ben Brereton Díaz at Blackburn) all turned out tougher to foresee. The FPL Cup final set of 10, including two more actual Cup finals, will be up in the first post shortly. === Speaking of which, I'm through to the quarter-finals of in no fewer than SEVEN (count 'em!) cups in the Fantasy League and climbed the standings in six private leagues recently. I'm also only 16 points off that magic 2,000 mark so barring disaster should get there with plenty to spare this season. With the Bench Boost spaffed away last week, auto-subs were my saviour this time as Stones and Ings both didn't play so Mitoma on 5 points and Rice on 3 bolstered my midfield nicely. I wisely left Dan Burn on the bench as he scored zero despite playing 81 minutes, but unfortunately another defender, Lewis Dunk, performed even worse and scored minus 1 point for being on the wrong end of a 5-1 home thrashing. I wasn't surprised that a desperate Sean Dyche team pulled off a crucial win at a knackered Brighton side, but I was shocked by the scale of it. Aside from that, Alisson on 5 points was the right choice of keeper over Pope on just 2, whilst Gündoğan on 13 would've been the only stronger pick than Salah for captain. The latter's 10 points double up to 20 for me. Since this is a quiet midweek – basically the only one at this late stage of the campaign – I'll figure out what I'm doing for this coming weekend in a day or two.

Fog Dude Posted May 11, 2023 Author Share Posted May 11, 2023 In the Fantasy League, I've got the highest possible number of Brighton and Newcastle players in my starting XI ahead of their game against each other in a week's time. Decided to give the armband to Mitoma with Trippier as back-up, but I'll hold off on using my Triple Captain chip until there's a slightly busier midweek for the following matchday. === Premier League Aston Villa 3-1 Spurs Crystal Palace 0-0 Bournemouth Manchester United 1-0 Wolves Southampton 2-1 Fulham Everton 0-3 Manchester City FA Women's Cup Final Chelsea 3-0 Manchester United (@ Wembley) Scottish Premiership Aberdeen 2-0 Hibernian La Liga Celta Vigo 1-1 Valencia Espanyol 1-2 Barcelona French Women's Cup Final Olympique Lyonnais 0-1 Paris Saint-Germain (in old Orleans) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fog Dude Posted May 17, 2023 Author Share Posted May 17, 2023 Still one match to go in the current Fantasy League gameweek, and things are looking... okay. Seems I'm heading out of two Cups and it's gonna be close in a couple of others. I'm ahead by a single point in one of the UKFF ties, but we've both got a bunch of players who could appear again on Thursday night so it's still up in the air there. It's likely that Gündoğan and Salah will get more points from one match than my sextet of double-duty workers will from two. I left Alisson on the bench and he's currently got a point more than Pope, but the latter plays again in midweek. Reed's 6 points will replace the strangely absent John Stones, but I'm not getting Robinson's half-dozen. Sandwiched in between them is Ings on 2 points, but he was unlucky to have a goal ruled out for handball on Sunday. Had that been allowed I'd have been cursing that I used up my Bench Boost already in the previous round. === The final Predictions League scores went up in the initial post on Sunday night, including the one for the actual FPL Cup Final. Hard luck for ultimo, but well done to @Vegeta who lifts the coveted trophy and was the weekly top scorer in the process. That also means he's now almost certainly not gonna finish last in the table, but in this high-scoring round I'm gonna say there was no shame in being the least good performer this time out, even if I might be a little bit biased in that regard. No change in the leading trio, but special mention to the chasing pack as seph was the only other participant into double figures, whilst Stinky nabbed all the bonus points for himself by getting the scoreline spot on from the randomly selected 'wildcard' fixture, match #8, even though a couple more people correctly managed the right result from Balaídos – which was an away win. Elsewhere, victories for Man Utd, Man City, Fulham, Chelsea Women and Barcelona all proved fruitful, whereas home successes for Villa and Palace caught a fair few players out. Guesses for the stalemate at Pittodrie and the Coupe de France féminine result turned out to be more of a mixed bag. For most of this season it wasn't my intention to hold the Cup final before we get all the D2Ds done, but plans kept changing even more than usual so that's what we've ended up with. Nonetheless it's probably best to get it out of the way this coming weekend so that it doesn't end up on a potentially meaningless final-day fixture. So that'll feature on the next card which will go live in the opening post very soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
