Important End of Season information -- please read

STAR PLAYER BIDS ARE OPEN

Star Player bids will commence Wednesday (15th), and run to Friday (17th) at midnight, when bidding is closed. Who got who will be posted on Saturday all being well - and assuming it can't be done earlier. If you miss out initially, there will be a second round bidding process and you may make another bid on a player. All bids will be sealed and PM'd to Hero and sodhat. It should be made clear that you cannot make a big bid on a Star Player, and then not have the cash all at once. All money must be paid immediately, or you miss out. We aren't doing IOU's on it, and that applies to everyone.

To qualify for the second round you must have submitted a first round bid - you can't just wait and see what's left. If there are exceptional circumstances as to why you missed the deadline you may appeal to the runners, but these circumstances absolutely do not include "I was playing Ultimate Team for 4 days with the curtains closed."

Having cleared it with Hero, I will be posting up the all new Cup details (and with new catchy, sexy, witty and delightful name).

It will be 4 groups of 4

There will be seeded teams

There will be prize money which will be part of your budget for Season 4 if squads and budgets are reset at the end of Season 3

People will complain

by FIFA Diva Wed Aug 15, 2012 2:31 pm

Why can't we keep the cup as straight knock out?

I personally like the shake up of Marky's cup, it keeps teams involved more week to week with at least 3 games. Gives a better chance to rest and test your squad too.

by Marky Wed Aug 15, 2012 2:54 pm

One thing I will announce now is that the 16 teams have been put into 4 pots (in a FIFA/UEFA style). One from each pot will be in each group, to make all four groups as balanced as can be.

Pot 1 (Top 4 from Premier League last season): Real Ale Sociedad, Viva City, AC ALSOAM, London Silly Nannies

Pot 2 (Top 4 from Championship last season): Athletico Bilbao Baggins, Jacamos United, Hangover 69, Treble's Revenge

Pot 3 (Bottom 4 from Premier League last season): Barearselona, Real NADrid, Holton Wanderers, Neymar FC

Pot 4 (Bottom 4 from Championship last season): Go Ahead Eaaagles, Gotham City Rogues, Substandard Liege, City of Norwich FC

let's do the draw now and afternoon The 606v2 Fantastic Fantasy Football Homepage XXV - Page 15 3559488474

by Marky Wed Aug 15, 2012 3:07 pm

Right, if you'll assist me Nando, i've numbered the teams in each pot from 1 to 4.

If you could post a number between 1 and 4 alongside Groups A to D for me please?

by Marky Wed Aug 15, 2012 3:10 pm

Basically, teams from Pot 4, then Pot 3, then Pot 2, then Pot 1 will be entered into each group based on Nando randomly putting the numbers 1-4 with groups A-D four times.

by Fernando Wed Aug 15, 2012 3:18 pm

Think it's meant to be something like this Nando:

A - 2, 4, 1, 3
B - 4, 2, 1, 3

and so on for C&D

by Marky Wed Aug 15, 2012 3:23 pm

What Nando did was fine, if he could do it again please for Pot 3?

Sodhat's way is easier, but this way it builds a little tension Whistle

by Fernando Wed Aug 15, 2012 3:25 pm

tension > easyness #fact

One final question, would people rather it be group winners into the semi finals, or top 2 into quarter finals?

by Fernando Wed Aug 15, 2012 3:33 pm

top 2

by Bull Wed Aug 15, 2012 3:34 pm

well thats pointless hero and Marky win.

by **Hero** Wed Aug 15, 2012 3:34 pm

Like how you ask that question after you're drawn with me in the cup Laugh

by Marky Wed Aug 15, 2012 3:36 pm

Fixed

by **Hero** Wed Aug 15, 2012 3:38 pm

You'd have just stuck with winners in that instance Laugh

TheBrahmaBull wrote:well thats pointless hero and Marky win.

Every group has 2 Prem teams and 2 Champ teams, you could argue in 3 of the 4 groups it's already decided but it will be a lot closer when people are playing U21s and resting first team players to avoid them being injured.

by Bull Wed Aug 15, 2012 3:39 pm

congrates to hero and marky on there win.

by sodhat Wed Aug 15, 2012 3:39 pm

Either is fine with me but with a quarter, the season will look like this:

Week 1
2
Cup 1
3
Cup 2
4
Cup 3
5
Quarter
6
Semi
7
Final

by Fernando Wed Aug 15, 2012 3:40 pm

keeps everyone busy then Smile

by Marky Wed Aug 15, 2012 3:43 pm

Quarter Finals it is.

And I know it looks bad I didn't ask the question until I was paired with Hero, but I didn't want to disrupt the draw to ask it Laugh

Just need Hero to sort out the Cherry Cup forum and I can get cracking on fixtures and stuff.

by sodhat Wed Aug 15, 2012 3:43 pm

Who has their U21's sorted?

I went out and nabbed a couple earlier. Rodriguez already counted and I added Borini and Maher to play in cup matches.

by Marky Wed Aug 15, 2012 3:45 pm

I have The Ox, Milan's Gabriel and Dortmund's Sobiech.

by Marky Wed Aug 15, 2012 3:46 pm

And Abel Hernandez who's just turned/turning 22 Doh

by sodhat Wed Aug 15, 2012 3:46 pm

Do U21's have injury exemption in cup weeks? I'll be honest - I think they should do! I won't have to buy any more this way.

by Bull Wed Aug 15, 2012 3:46 pm

Eriksen , Gotze , Martinez ,Ter stegan , Ovideo , isco

by Marky Wed Aug 15, 2012 3:47 pm

U21's are exempt from injury in Cup weeks.

by sodhat Wed Aug 15, 2012 3:47 pm

TheBrahmaBull wrote:Eriksen , Gotze , Martinez ,Ter stegan , Ovideo , isco

You have very good U21's. There is no reason you can't get out of the group with that bunch Bull.

by Bull Wed Aug 15, 2012 3:48 pm

cause then there out injured and cant be used in the league>?

by Marky Wed Aug 15, 2012 3:49 pm

Bull, a 1 in 11 chance they'll be injured.

by sodhat Wed Aug 15, 2012 3:49 pm

TheBrahmaBull wrote:cause then there out injured and cant be used in the league>?

Even if you don't play them they could be your random injury.

by FIFA Diva Wed Aug 15, 2012 3:55 pm

Would have been better if it was an open draw, guess some people are just too scared.

See if you would feel the same if UEFA make the Champions League draw an open draw, and Man U get knocked out in the group by Real Madrid and Barcelona while Maribor, Panathinaikos and Celtic make the QF's Whistle

Wouldn't make a difference to United...they couldn't get past Benfica, Basel and Otelul Galati Whistle

by Bull Wed Aug 15, 2012 4:11 pm

we finished 3rd so we got passed Galati
