So they're starting this new Cup competition from this weekend to the end of the year. Considering I'm lagging in most of the divisions I'm in, this gives me a renewed sense of purpose to get my swagger back and claw my way as far as I can. I'm doing pretty well in the one head-to-head league I'm in (4th), but I've lost 3 matches by 1 or 2 points which has kept me from battling for the lead.
Yeah, I'm the same. I've not been happy with the results of most of my choices this season (hovering mostly in the 500 - 700 range), so this Fantasy Cup should be fun!
They did the cup competition last year, too. But I haven't heard anything about prizes. Does anyone know if there's anything to be won?
It's all relative. If one looks at this competition on its own, the 2 prizes for 25K players (1 winner out of every 12.5 managers) does not sound great. However, if one looks at a contest like the Powerball which their web site states has odds to win of 1 in 175,223,510.00 (that's 175 BILLION), then the MLSF odds don't seem so bad, do they?
So, how is everyone doing in the MLSF Cup competition? I beat my opponent in GW31 and now play a team called Texans 1836 in GW31. They are ranked 11K+ and have some good players on their roster: Di Vaio, Fagundez, Nagbe, Valeri, Collin, Nielsen, etc. Should be interesting.
I beat the Texans 1836, 54 to 36, so I move to the next round! How did everyone else do in the Cup competition?
I lost 56-59. Unless the Opta adjustments come up with a 4 point swing, I'm out. Sure wish Keane had been onside, or Cahill's goal had been called offside - that was the difference.
I got lucky this round, scoring a whopping 48 points but beating my opponent by 2. Onwards and upwards!!!
I had a huge week - 85 points - and won easily. Big problem though - at least 4 of my players are out this coming week due to int'l callups or suspension and I only have 2 free transfers to make. Will have to work it out somehow.
I'm starting to think that it might be better to just take a 0 than have to find a player that will score at least a 5 (+4 to break even on the hit, then +1 to make a difference). This is going to be a rough game week.
I beat my Cup opponent last GW and now a team called "Le Toux Legit to Quit" in round 6. Unfortunately for him (or her), the team only has 9 active players due to WC call-ups, and bye week for some teams.
