10. START ME CUP

3 Nov:

And another week is done and dusted. First up lets look at the first FMICL Cup game.
As mentioned below, "If Albion win, we play penalties (games A to E)"
So sure enough, a win to West Brom meant we invoked the penalties system - a fine first-up effort!
Here is how the weekend played out.

A 3-3 draw from the first 5 games means the best of three penalties (A to C) games are played, and the 1-0 aggregate sees @J_Foreigner progress to the round of 16, while Amos drops out.


Back over in the League, the weekends results are:

@TheMattBungard4-5@Ethan_Meldrum
@DemP_93-3@Harri_Chas_17
@ASpeedingCar4-3@J_Foreigner
@Footy_Maths5-5@LaurenceRosen

In the featured match-ups -
- Hardsy hits a tennis score in the Good Mates Showdown over Amos. (yes, that's 6 of the 7 games correct, and a record for the competition in a singe week)
- Long time top of the table players Henry and Michael tie up their clash 4 each.
- As do the other top 8'ers Sarge and Sean, but 5 points each of two.

In the Belt game, its another draw, so Andrew holds again... his 4th week to now equal Michael's streak.

Also, this weekend rounds out October's play, so we can say the
OCTOBER Player Of The Month is @Hardsy05, as he went the 4 games undefeated as well as scoring 16 points.

And all that good tipping has seen Hardsy propel himself to 'top of the league'!

Also of note:

Strong turnout for Man City in the derby, no love for United (nice!).
Also no one choosing the Central Toast or Swansea.

Which says the match-up hinges on Leicester - West Brom in the main game.
If Albion win, we play penalties (games A to E), and there is ample scope for a result in those matches.

Good luck one and all.

FOR INFORMATION:
You have 10 games (1 to 5 and A to E) to tip. Games 1 to 5 are the main game... score more here and you win.
Games A to C are in play if the first 5 games result in a draw. Best score from these three is the winner.
If you are still tied after that, then the best from D wins.
And if that is tied, then the best from E wins.
If there is still a tie after all of that, we replay the Cup tie another week.

Trust that make sense!
