Cup - Season 15

[MrB]

Redrawn for the third time, should be the final one. I've switched to a home tie but have got myself a IV team with a couple of 100k+ players so will need to be a full strength team on display.

Anyone else got an interesting one? I'm not rating Marvel's chances of progressing!

[The General]

Lovely stuff! What. A. Draw. The fella has only been playing for under 2 months! :)

Just a shame its away but i cant grumble!!

 

[MrB]

Noticed my opponent seems to have a little side hobby as well:

Alan Shearer - 29 yo, BT Rating=6,472
Gary Speed - 32 yo, BT Rating=4,274
Liam Gallagher - 21 yo, BT Rating=2,018
Steve Davis - 30 yo, BT Rating=1,414
Danny Dyer - 22 yo, BT Rating=366
Simon Pegg - 21 yo, BT Rating=343
Jamie Oliver - 22 yo, BT Rating=94

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Nice draw for me, shame it's not at home, but at least we can rest everyone before the 1st FC game. Should also have a TIE in the 1st week of OD, as I think I'm due to play YB, so PFL shouldn't take too much of a hit early doors.

 

[SUFC_Al]

dreadful draw, #145 in England, cheers. At least i might get a decent cut in gate receipts.

 

[Napster]

Playing a side in my OD league. Who are hopeless.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Nice draw for me, shame it's not at home, but at least we can rest everyone before the 1st FC game. Should also have a TIE in the 1st week of OD, as I think I'm due to play YB, so PFL shouldn't take too much of a hit early doors.

I should point out that's a mutual TIE rather than BB thinking I'm such a walkover..... ;)

Anyway, I should progress comfortably to round 2 as I've bowled the opposition out for 45, with Daniels producing a Morkelesque spell of 5-5-0-5. Well bowled sir!

[Grayson]

Forgot to set my team, so first team's on GFI. Oops. Winning comfortably.

won against a fairly crappy team.

[The General]

Happy with that draw. Away again unfortunately but their max BT player stands at sub 40k so might even be able to rest so players. They have a squad of 14 so im sure come Sunday their fitness will be ****ed already. I have 2 home games to kick off the season unfortunately against Lower Standards CC and dirty dogs so i know what im up against and its going to be a tricky season, that is for sure!!

Their manager is moaning on sledging about the result!

nice to get on someone's nerve, sore loser!

A home draw meaning i have 4 home games in a row (cup, FC, OD, BT20) :). They have a few meaty looking players, will probably be in for a hard day.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Home to a Level V, only 1 player over 50K BTR, should be able to rest a couple and get away with a TIE. All-in all a pretty good draw.

Mrs BB also at home to a Level V. 1 200k rated player, and 2 more over 100k. Only a 15 man squad though, so Mrs BB should have a bit of an advantage there.
