How does the cup stuff work exactly, is there a page on their site about it as I can't find it?
No Ian theres nothing on the site about it at the moment, but rest assured I will let you know the minute it does...
Its called the fantasy cup and everyone gets put into a pot and teams are drawn against each other in a knockout match untilo there are only 2 remaining for the final and the cup itself...Prizes are 2 tickets to see a premier match of there choosing, normally out of a selection of 6 teams and £250 spending money...
I done pretty well last year and went a very long way into the last 400 teams left from over a million and a quarter...
Heres a summary...
Fantasy Cup: A new addition to the FAPL, the Fantasy Cup was introduced last season and was a reasonable success.... It is good to see that the creators of the competition have actually incorporated some competitions for all players, instead of just running competitions in individual leagues. Basically the idea is that every player registered before a certain deadline is matched up against another with the winner progressing, this is then repeated for each subsequent week until in the last week there are only two teams left. In each game the team with the highest score progresses and if its a tie i forget how they decide, maybe previous week or something, you'll see the rules once they start it up. I think it's great that they have a competition for everyone and while it's probably around a 1 in a million chance of winning, you can always dream.... Actually there some tactics you might employ to help yourself do better in this comp but i won't go over them here/yet....
