The first round of games in the Fantasy League Cup took place this week.
I’m fuming – I was the top scorer in the league this week and typically didn’t have a game!! Results and group tables can be viewed on the link below. Please check the results as this is a manual process to update – shout if any issues!!!

Next round of games are this coming weekend.
16th-18th September
52 players were still standing for Round 5, as we resumed action after the
international break. Five different teams had been picked in this round.
On Saturday, in the 3pm games, Fulham hosted Luton at Craven Cottage – 18
players had picked the Cottagers to continue Luton’s pointless streak and a 1-0
win was enough to see them through. Tottenham hosted Sheffield United at the
Tottenham stadium – 26 players had picked Spurs in this one, making them the
most popular pick in this round with half the remaining players picking them and
it looked like an LMS upset was on the cards until 2 injury time goals saw Spurs
win 2-1! In the Saturday teatime game, Newcastle took on Brentford at St James’
Park – Dan Milton, Gemma Jackson, Paul Allman, Pauline Jackson and Vikki Darby
were backing the Magpies to bounce back after a couple of recent defeats and an
edgy 1-0 saw them progress.
On Sunday, Everton were still looking for their 1st win of the season as Arsenal
headed to Goodison Park – Graeme Tinker and Lin Maiden expected the Blues to
still be looking for their 1st win after this game and they are, after another
1-0 win.
Finally, on Monday night, Nottingham Forest welcomed Burnley to the City ground
– Alfie Robinson had picked Forest to leave Burnley still looking for their 1st
point.
Deadline for Round 6 is
noon
on
Friday 22nd September.

As previously advised, I was making the draw for the Super 6 cup competitions during the international break. The League Cup will be in the format of the Champions League – 8 groups, playing each other twice with the winners and runners-up in each group progressing to the last 16 which will be a knockout format. The Knockout Cup is a straightforward knockout competition.
The draw has been done for both competitions – these were seeded, based on the league table as at 3rd September.
In the League Cup, the group stage will have 10 rounds of games – this will kick off with the next round of games after the international break – 16th September. The draw can be viewed here – this will be updated with results after each round of games. A lot of the rounds will be over consecutive weeks with a view of wrapping up the group stage by Christmas – so don’t forget to do your predictions!!
The Knockout Cup will start on the weekend of 30th October – the top 13 in the table (as at 3rd September) received a bye to Round 2. The other 26 will play in Round 1. The draw can be viewed here.
The full fixture schedule for both competitions can be viewed on the Super 6 page – there is a permanent link at the top of the blog.

25th-27th August
First of all, I want to address the position on default picks. I make it pretty
clear in the rules and the regular updates that the deadline is Friday lunchtime
– the only time this will change is any midweek rounds or around the Christmas
games. I only issue a default as a last resort – as demonstrated by the mess I
made trying to accommodate 3 late entries that came in as I was just about to
send Friday’s update. I send an email reminder to anyone who hasn’t submitted an
entry by Friday morning and also send a chaser later in the morning if still not
received – I also try to text/WhatsApp if I have a players number (if you want
to drop your number to me to add to my contacts then feel free!). I always
acknowledge selections with a reply to emails/texts – if you don’t get a reply
from me then I haven’t received it!!
109 players were still standing for Round 3. Nine different teams had been
picked in this round. Four players did not submit a pick this week and received
a default pick. Everton v Wolves was the only match that nobody had touched.
On Friday night, Chelsea were still looking for their first win of the season as
they welcomed Luton to Stamford Bridge – 61 players had picked Chelsea and there
was to be no upset with a 3-0 win for Chelsea.
On Saturday, in the lunch time game, Bournemouth faced Tottenham at the Vitality
stadium – Gemma Jackson and Hayley Beaton had picked Spurs and progress courtesy
of a 2-0 win. In the 3pm games, Arsenal hosted Fulham at the Emirates – 16
players had picked the Gunners, including Dave Latham, John Lamming and Peter
Collins who had not submitted a pick and this game saw the first LMS upset of
this game with a 2-2 draw sending the 16 out. Brentford took on Crystal Palace
at the Gtech Community stadium – Dave Phillips, Henry Archer, Ste Milton, Ste
Wilkinson and Tony Raybould had picked the Bees but a 1-1 draw sees them also
crash out. Manchester United faced Nottingham Forest at Old Trafford – 15
players had picked United and another upset was on the cards but a 3-2 win for
United sees them through. In the tea-time game, Brighton played West Ham at the
Amex – Jack Horsler, Joey O’Brien, Linda Beaumont and Pat Boddy had picked the
Seagulls but a 3-1 win for the Hammers saw them bow out.
On Sunday afternoon, Burnley had a visit from Aston Villa to Turfmoor – Olly
Woodward had picked Villa – Paul Hallett had Villa by default – they both go
through after a 3-1 win for Villa. Sheffield United welcomed Manchester City to
Bramall Lane – Gary Nelson, Kenny Rogers and Shaun Magee had picked City and had
a late scare before City went on to win 2-1. Later on in the afternoon,
Newcastle hosted Liverpool at St James’ Park – Ken Nelson had picked the Magpies
but he exits after a late Darwin Nunez double (UTFR!!) and I know Ken wont be
too upset with his exit!
In total, 26 players dropped out in this round, leaving 83 players still
standing (down to double figures!).
Deadline for Round 4 is noon on
Friday 1st September.

visit from Aston Villa to Turfmoor – Olly Woodward has picked Villa – Paul
Hallett had picked Arsenal, but had already used them in Round 1 and never got
back to me with an alternative pick, so he gets Villa by default . Sheffield
United welcome Manchester City to Bramall Lane – Gary Nelson, Kenny Rogers and
Shaun Magee have picked City. Later on in the afternoon, Newcastle host
Liverpool at St James’ Park – Ken Nelson has picked the Magpies.
Deadline for Round 4 is noon on
Friday 1st September.
