WSL fantasy league | MD13 and Demon Cup SF draw

The App/database does take a while to settle but I thought I had given it enough time. Then McCabe suddenly went from -1 point to +3, Zebra went from a 35-all draw to an outright victory, and we were not sued by @top1whoisman.

GW13 will be interesting for FF, with Arsenal v City.

Edit: Tooney v Boujee will be televised live on TNT (k.o. 20.45 on Sunday)
 
It's that time of the week again and transfer and formation deadlines are now around 24 hours away. I think the noon kickoff means the deadline is 11:00am UK - but hopefully someone in the UK can confirm what the app is telling them.

City v Arsenal is one to note, with a high potential to cause confusion to some managers using a lot of their players. A goalless draw would suit us, but would it suit your FF team?
 
She's certainly in Arsenal kit now but I didn't have her in my squad so can't answer the original question. She's been playing so little that I'm not sure how many people would have her really.

Bunny Shaw is close to returning, but whether we'll see her tomorrow I don't know, maybe as a sub?

My other big don't know is over Katie McCabe. There was a report on Forbes.com (and much repeated by fan accounts on Twitter) saying she's suspended for the City game, but she missed a game midweek (Bristol in the WFA Cup) due to suspension. Anyone know if she's back tomorrow?

At least not instantly as she won’t play against Man City?

Yep, she misses this one and the WSL Cup SF.

@AmarilloMike seemed to be wondering if anyone had her in their squad prior to the move - but I doubt many people would still have her given how little she was playing and her relatively high price.

@AmarilloMike seemed to be wondering if anyone had her on their squad already - but I doubt many people would still have her given how little she was playing and her relatively high price.

Will be interesting to see how Arsenal use her, they’ve got a lot of good options.
 
MD13 deadline fast approaching.

I still don't know for sure if McCabe is suspended but at some point you just have to act. Or don't.

Good luck either way.
 
Hi all - I'll let the App settle before doing The Demon Cup Draw. Obviously I had a good week, but I had Bronze and McCabe in my starting XI, neither of whom played ... the App has substituted in Holmgaard who scored +1 (fair enough) but also Symonds who scored -2 ((that's minus 2!) I have Cato on the bench who scored 10. I'm fuming.

A mysterious new option has appeared in the app - a thing called "clean slate" that allows you one of boost to make unlimited transfers. It talks about it only lasting for a week, but I'm not sure if they mean that after a week your squad reverts to your current one.

I only mention it because I would have loved that option last week :lol: And yes, I know we had open transfers only a couple of weeks ago. Still - I wanted to get rid of all my City and Arsenal defenders and my Spurs players for this matchday. Instead I ended up with 1.3m sitting in my transfer kitty and the indignity of having two players subbed on by the app. The subs scored -1 between them.

Well, as the team in second place, I wholeheartedly support the decision to not have that option last week!
As a double plus, very happy my captain Teri came good and got on the scoresheet :)

It's getting tight at the top, there's no doubt about that and my form hasn't been great. I think we're both relying on points from our United players though and it's almost inevitable that'll cost us at some point. Teams that aren't quite so dependant on Phallon might be smiling at some point.

We do all have a week off to rest and recover now before planning again. Not that it seems to help me to actually do anything useful - though I guess it might help some people :lol:
 
The Demon Cup

GW13 - Quarter Finals Results

Little moo's
59 v 59 Skinner's Rotation
Dot's Stars 28 v 36 Maya's Troopers
Zebra United 32 v 62 Flexo's FFs
Tooney Town
47 v 45 Boujee Tea FC

Well, what an exciting round of matches! Okay, FFF did a job on Zebra, and Maya's Troopers outclassed Dot's Stars, but Tooney Town grabbed a 99th minute winner to edge out Boujee Tea FC and book their place in the semis.

The highlight of the round, though, was the match at Moo's Sports Village - the home side triumphant against Skinner's Rotation after a thrilling penalty shootout. Little moo's victory was sealed by captain Maya Le Tissier (16pts) after Skinner's captain, Ella Toone (6pts) hit the bar.

Oh the thrill of the cup. Jumpers for goalposts etc.

The draw for the semi-finals will be posted shortly.

Well done to all.
 
I'll somewhat smugly and briefly write a summary of the GW13 results.

There were big scores for TheDemonBarbers (should have been more. Still fuming), FFF, Little moo's and Skinner's Rotation. Hearty congratulations to those four. Especially me!
Mmm, isn't it? Mmm
That made me chuckle.
 
Grrr ... I messed up before finishing the gameweek summary.

So, a few in the 40s, some in the 30s, but high-flying They Simi Rollin' had a stinker. Skinner's Rotation, TheDemonBarbers and Little moo's continue their charge up the table to put pressure on the big boys at the top.

We are moments away from the draw for the semi-finals ...

I’n fuming too. Losing on penalties after such a strong performance. Thought the keeper of Little Moo’s moved off the line early a couple of times, but I’ll be the bigger person and concede. ;) A good cup run regardless.

On her behalf, she didn’t think she moved and she fully respects the officials judgement :)
