8. CUP TIME STARTS

Oct 7:

The match week is well and truly over, and we have FOUR items that need sharing.

FIRST - there is NO PLAY this weekend due to internationals or something (its a UEFA Euro 2016 qualifier weekend)

Second is something I missed after last week, the September Players of the Month.

Strong tipping by all three, some of whom are now making moves on the top of their divisions.


Thirdly, its the end of the first two matches of the FMICL Cup. Games played out as here:

Counting up the correct tips (1 point) and exact margins (2 points) means we have  the following scores and winners.

So the Car and Amos progress to the round of 16, and its Cup action over for Luke and the Guru.
Next Cup matches are match week 10 (24 October - ish)

MichaelN and Dem both win to move higher at the top of the table. Hardsy's win moves him away from the drop zone.

Ross loses and J_F wins to tighten the race at the top. AndyM's win also lifts him from the bottom end, and Supers loss has him now last in a bunch of 4 on the same no of points

Nick scores the biggest of the round with 5. Smithy unlucky as his 4 wuold have been enough to win or draw against everyone else in the whole comp.
Cody's win and Rudi's draw mean change at the top.

The only belt to change was RSW's loss to Kosi.

OK folks, its a new season and a new year for the FMICL Knockout Cup competition.
This year we have a full list of 32 players, and you have all been drawn into your Cup ties as tweeted out and listed on the Season & Cup page.

I will have to update all the rules as this year we are playing a 'pick the margin' system. You get 5 games to select, and you need to enter a number for the margin you expect a team to win by (or 0 for a draw).

So this weeks Cup players are...
MW 8
@TheTipsGuru
@ASpeedingCar
MW 8
@Lucrious
@BrotherAmos

Everyone else, your turn will come.

Select margins for these games
MWMHOMEAWAY
8
1[+] Aston Villavs Stoke[-]
2[+] Bournenouthvs Watford[-]
3[+] Forestvs Hull[-]
4[+] Readingvs Middlesborough[-]
5[+] Milanvs Napoli[-]

As an example - if you think Forest will win 2-1, then you tip +1 in the link below. Or if you think Hull will romp it in, tip -3.
Makes sense?

Winners will be those that get the most right, with 1 point per correct tip, and a bonus point if you get it exactly.
If that total score ends as a tie, then I will use nett difference between tipped margin and actual margin. If there is still no winner found, then we go to a replay the next week.

Win your tie and go into the draw for the round of 16. Lose and your cup run is over.
Simple, innit!

OK - go to the link and have a go.


AND NORMAL LEAGUE PLAY continues too for all players.

Your match-ups.

Belt up for grabs as MichealN plays Henry. Third placed Dem hosts table topper FMI, while it bragging-rights-central this week for Ethan and Ben.

Both J_F and MattB need to pile on a win this week to keep up with Rosso who still leads the pack by more than a clear game. While at the foot of the table, AndyM tracles to Super's patch to defend his belt.

@cmrnmnning,@DamienBean5
Potential top place on the line if either Kosi and RSW win in their match as well as the D3 belt. Rudi and Cody will need to do well to hold down the top spot.
RKW and Tonii also need to win to stay in touch.
