haha that probably would be plenty... Well as long as Tevez doesn't score I'll be ok
bit nervous tbh, this gameweek is the most important yet!

It is the most important GW and Michu and Toure both go down, Ba is invisible and Tevez gets 13 min in game one. WTF!?!?!
Massive games the next two days...
Viva!
I'm now wondering whether it was worth bribing all those players with my life savings just for Fantasy Football..........
Ah. Aguero is benched.......
Edit. *sigh*. Here's hoping Mata scores a hattrick and Ivanovic keeps a clean sheet! You're all I've got left boys!

COYS is right. I need a big game from those lads, both in fantasy and reality. Fantasy wise, I need two goals from the Spurs. Realistically, I just want a W. Hate they play such a big role in this GWs matchup. And I'm torn about my boy Ba. Maybe a goal and Chelsea lose? Heartbreaking.
These Mopheads haven't let me get a good night sleep since Saturday! What a match...

Jeeez, City has been a big bag of hurt yesterday! I mean, for Christ's sake, is it that hard Mancini? Bring in Kun and Zab for the last couple of minutes to sell some more shirts and 5 bonus points! Jeez, if Rafa pulls a genius too, I'm lost.

Survive and advance.
Great game, andalusia.
Don't know why they held Defoe out. Doesn't seem to be as aggressive as needed. The tie doesn't help...

ok I'll change whole post. nvm. nothing to see here. what were you sayin' Jaffa?
Nobody's celebrating here? Tilpots and Hardly Athletic, I guess, are on the safe side?
By the way, must have been my nerves - completely wrecked as they are - Oliver Kahn in one of his entertaining moments ran in minute 90+ in despair of a single goal into the opposite box for the corner kick, jumped like Jordan and boxed the ball into the goal with both his mighty hands. Tyson would have been proud.
Can't remember if he was even celebrating afterwards, but I wouldn't be too surprised if he had.

A chap whose accurate has Oscar with 3 bonus points, so yes. Congratulations.
...Defeat or allow Chelsea players in the team? I'll take defeat - but it hurts.
Cheers,
OW

Touché!
Oh, that Chelsea Fantasy away shirt looked good today...and who can be truly mad at Mata and young Oscar, eh? So I take it 76:77 in my advance? I told you this is going to be a close one. But awesome game, you played like a GOD
OW!And you mean that BapChap from around the corner, right? I read that, too.
Cheers, mate!
Once the bonus points are confirmed and results are finalised, I'll let everyone know exactly who's made it through.
We have a couple of close matches, so tenterhooks and all that. Don't forget either that if you've made multiple transfers this Gameweek the points deduction won't be made until the scores are finalised!

Right then gents we have our results!
Fair to say that the shock of the round saw Group Stage winners Neutron Heath eliminated at the hands of Cup newcomers T!llionaire Toyshire. The iToys squeezed ahead of their illustrious rivals to seal a memorable victory by a single point.
Elsewhere, Hardly Athletic belied their idle name to defeat Argy-Bargy and book their place in the Semi-Finals, whilst Pachyderm FC's run in the competition came to an end after a narrow defeat to Omaha Latics. Finally, The Stoplights put themselves in the hat for the Semis by seeing off the Mancunian Mopheads.
Congratulations to the teams who progress, and commiserations too to those who were eliminated at this stage. Once the FPL site gets its act together and sorts out the Semi-Final fixtures I'll get them posted up.
Neutron Heath 76 - 77 T!llionaire Toyshire
Hardly Athletic 66 - 50 Argy-Bargy
Omaha Latics 47 - 43 Pachyderm FC
The Stoplights 78 - 64 Mancunian Mopheads
Hardly Athletic 66 - 50 Argy-Bargy
Omaha Latics 47 - 43 Pachyderm FC
The Stoplights 78 - 64 Mancunian Mopheads

Yes, but he got Adebayor wrong
.Socks round the ankles stuff. Congratulations again to Toyshire, they wanted it more and dug deep for the extra point - the sight of Mata and Oscar was too much for Defoe.
It was an emotional day; out of the cup, and the news our longest serving turnstile operator - over 26 years - will retire at the end of the season. Good luck Albert and thanks.
Finally, following the performance this week, Rafael has 'volunteered' to be the piñata at the club party.
Good luck,
OW
Latics! I'm coming for you!
Stoplights will not be, uh, stopped? Can I say that? Does that sound weird because of my 'tar? I could say 'Go Stoplights!' but that might be redundant. Hmmm...
Anyhow, I now know that a Latic is slang for athlete. The US has a pro baseball team nicknamed after the word 'athlete' also, we just call them the A's though. Clearly not as clever. Found out that Albion is England's oldest name, too. Huh. The learning curve is steep with the Fantasy fFootball. Just what will I learn next...

Congratulations to Tilpots, couldn't think of a worthier opponent to lose too. Was close, until the end. Perhaps if I hadn't wasted points by transferring useless aguero in, things would be different... *sigh* well there's always next year!! Good luck to the final contenders, I'm secretly rooting for the Toys
P.s. thanks to Jaffa for hosting a great competition once again!

...the bittersweet smell of defeat?
But that can wait till the final imho. Never heard of the Stoplights before...but now that you've mentioned them: gotta love that WC in your backpocket!
After Newton Heath now the Hardly Athletics, well, well, well. You're welcome!

Why thank you! Always a sign of decent humanity when rooting for the underdog and new kid from the block...also I'll join in thanking jeffe Jaffa as well.
So then, the Semi-Final draw has been made...
Omaha Latics v The Stoplights
Swiftaw's Latics take on Tilpots' Stoplights in the first of our two matches the two regular season fixtures saw both teams pick up a win apiece so things couldn't be more finely poised as we head into the deciding tie.
T!llionaire Toyshire v Hardly Athletic
Tom8 and his team had best not be daydreaming of a final appearance the Group Stage runners-up have to get past twietee and his team before they can entertain such thoughts, and these Toys certainly know how to play.
That concludes the draw for the quarter-finals of the MacRumors Cup all ties will be played during Gameweek 37.

It really was a great match. Held my breath every time Mata touched the ball. But the iToys? Aw, man. His squad's looking good though, right?
Cheers!

I see you celebrating over there old man...
Yes, the WC will be played this week and it will be needed. Was hoping to hold it one more just in case, but Michu, Ya Ya and a couple of other guys are banged up. Gotta do it now...
Busted! Looking like that Waldorf guy from the Muppets...
...but I've a bad feeling for next match and see a lot of my players benched. Anyone knows what happened to Ben Foster? Brought him in to play it safe (OW had him) but he just disappeared and I can't find any info about what happened to him. Hmmm....
....yeah right, I'd better call the police.
