Aug 12:

So the Premiership starts this week, so I need to get this rolling.
We have a 26 team roster, which is not ideal, but we get to sort out what we have.

So the idea is this.

LEAGUE
Split it into 13 x 2 divs. Yep, we have byes.
13 players / pool = 26 week season.
Will have break over Xmas / New Year.

At the end of the year the top 2 from Division 2 will automatically go up. Third place will enter a ply-off.
With promotion comes relegation, so for the automatic drop are 12th and 13th from Division 1, and 11th plays-off with D2's 3rd placegetter.

This still leaves a few weeks (out of 38 game EPL season) un-played, but we will have dedicated 'Cup rounds instead.

CUP
Will be run in a Champions League format.
5 players x 5 pools, with the top 3 from each pool progressing.
Yep thats 15 in total in to the round of 16. There they will meet last years Cup winner to complete the 16. Then its elimination down to 8, 4 and the 2 finalists as normal.


Sounds like a plan?

Cool - LETS DO THIS THING
(and apologies for late start notice, but here goes).

Firstly, the Divisional Splits based on last years table.

DIVISION ONE			DIVISION TWO
	PLAYER			PLAYER
1	@Sjhross		1	@TheTipsGuru
2	@Harri_Chas_17		2	@MattGoss_
3	@NaylorMichael		3	@kosifantutti
4	@Footy_Maths		4	@ASpeedingCar
5	@Ethan_Meldrum		5	@Smithj_43
6	@Amul82		6	@NickTheStatsGuy
7	@J_Foreigner		7	@melatonii
8	@DemP_9		8	@BrotherAmos
9	@BenCuzzupe		9	@cmrnmnning
10	@Supermercado99		10	@LaurenceRosen
11	@CapitalCityCody		11	@Lucrious
12	@Andrewm_81		12	@RudiEdsall
13	@Hardsy05		13	@GlennValencich

Will allocate players to the Cup pools based on a system using above seedings.


OK to the games to tip...

W	M	HOME		AWAY
1	1	Arsenal	v	Liverpool
	2	Chelsea	v	West Ham
	3	Cardiff	v	Q P R
	4	Chicago	v	Orlando
	5	A Fukuoka	v	Kashima A
	6	Nice	v	Rennes
	7	Marseilles	v	Toulouse

Note games are primarily chosen on the basis of being at the back end of this weekend to allow for players to catch-up with this post which is remarkably late.

Will resume normal transmission next week.


Draw will be updated, later but for this week it is:

13 Aug			MATCH WEEK		1
@BenCuzzupe		,	@Andrewm_81			@cmrnmnning		,	@RudiEdsall
@Hardsy05		,	@DemP_9			@GlennValencich		,	@BrotherAmos
@NaylorMichael		,	@CapitalCityCody			@kosifantutti		,	@Lucrious
@Harri_Chas_17			@Supermercado99			@MattGoss_			@LaurenceRosen
@Sjhross			@Amul82			@TheTipsGuru			@NickTheStatsGuy
-BYE-		,	@Ethan_Meldrum			-BYE-		,	@Smithj_43
@J_Foreigner		,	@Footy_Maths			@melatonii		,	@ASpeedingCar

So, go to it and tip via the old linkeroo.

And for our newbie Glenn-o, its a simple H, D, or A tip.
