Prediction League Cup 2017/18


Stevie_J

Recommended Posts

Sorry this is later than planned - I usually try to get the first cup game in for the first league fixture of the New Year - but life has gotten in the way a bit.

 

Anyway, here's the plan:

 

The 50 players will be drawn into ten groups of five players each.  Every player will have a fixture against each of the other players in their group, with the outcome decided by their head-to-head score for the given fixture.  The outcome of each group stage cup fixture shall be determined by player scores (usual prediction league points system), with 3pts for a win, 1pt for a draw and 0pt for a defeat.  League positions will be determined by Pts, then prediction points difference (think goal difference), then prediction points scored, then games won.
 
The group winners plus the six best runners up will progress to last 16 and the knockout stage. 
 
For anyone who hasn't played before this season - this thread might give you a good idea of how it works.
 
If I can get the draw done before the weekend, proposed fixtures are:
 
[REVISED FOLLOWING SOUTHEND AND WALSALL POSTPONEMENTS]
Group fixtures
13/1 Rotherham (h) - Player A v Player B; Player C v Player D
20/1 Peterborough (a) - Player A v Player C; Player B v Player E

Careful there, it may become an unwelcome distraction against relegation, don't lose focus on the main objective.

 

Yep, just look at HarryBosch...... he became distracted toward the end of last season and failed in his bid to stay in the Premier League. At this rate, he'll be in League One next year..... he'll be the Wigan or Blackburn of Predicting, Ouch,

Stevie, you might wanna think about the group qualification lines..... as not the top 2 from every group will go through.....?!?!?

I did think this but it's supposed to denote top two to be in with a chance of qualifying. I'll consider doing something better next week!

Group I. is a very tight group. Top position Rosa has to sit out this W/E knowing she is not going to finish top. A best six runners up is the best she can hope for.

Top spot will be between Hometownclub and myself. May the best man (or lady) win. Now where is those Norman Hunter and Nobby Styles players I need?

 

Blackburn fixtures:

SAV v MAC0AFC; Hometownclub v Ex_pat

I can confirm I am indeed a man (well male at least), and as you say may the best man win.
