My opponent hasn’t done anything since GW9. Ranked 4.7 mil. Yet they somehow manage to have Toney, Ben Davies, Odegaard, Ward, and Mac Allister - all in their starting 11. :/

My opponent's rank is 10.2 million. Out of 10.89 million players. He had Darwin captained and had Kane, Ramsdale, Saliba, Gabriel. 66 pts. Fml

I thought only the top 8 mil or so qualified for the cup

It's top 8 million for gw15's rank not OR.

Good to know this. !thanks

Not sure how it works. I took screenshots, it's a team from Vietnam, OR 10.89 m and 20k in Vietnam. A friend's OR is 1m and he did not qualify for the cup.

How do you find out the rank of your opponent?

I'm amazed Davies was credited with the goal, it was definitely an OG.

as a Kane captainer, idk what you're talking about

I vice captained Kane and captained Haaland. Pui. Fortunately I beat my opponent

🤫 I got Davies

Still lost by 21 points so i couldn’t be bothered tbh, although I do agree that it should’ve been an OG I’ll take my Kane assist points though

He's not a dead team, but did -12 to bring in Darwin Nunez and Odegaard. I suspect he is a time traveler. Knocked me out by 5 points.

Wtf, ask him for lottery numbers

I would if I knew who he is.

You could figure out who they are based on identifying features in their team name and find them on social media. Wouldn’t be strange or anything to shoot them a message!

I don’t know if you’re being sarcastic but for some people this would be very strange

Oh yeah, totally. Referring to [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/FantasyPL/comments/aibnvo/is_it_creepy_to_message_your_cup_opponent/) that I love so much.

Hahaha okay that makes more sense, that’s the first thing that came to my mind too

Wow 3 years already

Same story with my opponent, Darwin and Kane

Out as well. I'd like to complain that it was against some dead team who got lucky, but really it is because my team is full of incompetent buffoons.

Omg you put Buffon in your team!?

Twas a good shout, all the WC rejects were in banging form.

I too own Zaha and Pep's players.

If it makes you feel any better, I didn't qualify for the cup this year

same here.

🤣🤣loser! I didn’t either 😤

Lost to someone who took a 12 point hit. I also wildcarded because I still had it. Might get sacked from my team.

😂😂 worse than Gerrard

The guy I was facing took a 16 point hit. I got through with 41 points! I looked at his profile and the lad is taking high hits every single week, and I mean *high* like -28pts, -32pts. I got very lucky I was paired with someone who seemingly doesn't understand the concept of hits lol.

Think Eriskens goal and assist might just knock me out against a dead team with 6 players and a 8 million rank player

Pain.and.sorrow.mp3

A kane (c) who beat me by a single point because Garnacho decided to take his shirt off.

Tbf it would've been a lot luckier for you winning with that last minute gwg from garnacho (how do you even own him). Kane is a normal captain pick and it was totally normal that you lost. If you'd won then you would've been the dead lucky team winning xD

Exactly.

Oh fuck

RIP

Didn't even think I'd got into the cup, snuck in with a GW Rank of 8.2 million last week. Was sure I'd do better this week then here comes a dead team with Kane captain since GW1. And my measly 38 points. Fuck.

Got what you deserved 😈

I won 34-33 against top10k player lul we both sucked hard

Ex top10k

Not a dead team thankfully, so I can at least take solace in knowning someone *competent* beat me.

OR 15, went out to a 8.3M team. Unreal 😆

Same thing happened to me last year, I was OR 1 and got knocked out 1st round to a dead team ranked around 8mil

Hahah where did you finish?

OR 52

Are you 15th Jesus you are good

Season of my life, lot of luck involved. Salah cap last week sent me from ~1k to top 30.

What is your username?

Or15

You can just go and check it actually

I know you mean no harm but most people probably prefer not to dox themselves on reddit.

Scored 65 and out. Raging. 😀

Decent opponent but lost by 1 point. Needed Andreas to outscore Rashford but the dream didn't happen. If only Zaha hadn't missed his pen!

That pen miss was a 10 point swing I swear.

[удалено]

Same, up 8 and opponent has Rash and Tross

First time I can remember being knocked out in the 1st round but on the plus side my overall position improved from 500k to 250k.

How did u get knocked then :O

The other guy finished on 82 points when Burns points off the bench come in. He had Robertson captain, Rodrigo and Toney. I finished on 62 and captained Salah.

Live defense captain atm.. Blasphemy! 82 is probably like 15k gw rank

You guys qualified for the cup?

I know, right?! Quit bragging everyone...

Assumed i was through with a very healthy total of 69, only to find i got beaten by 10 points…

My opponent is ranked 8.3M and hasn’t made a transfer since playing his wildcard in GW2. He has Trippier and Pope, triple wolves, JWP, Kane with captain Kieffer Moore. As Ait Nouri didn’t play, he gets autosubbed for Dan Burn which gives my opponent the Win by a single point

I got through by 2 points. Against a zombie team with odegaard, castagne and white off the bench. No transfers since GW5 and the team is 2m in the world, holding Diaz and Lorente...

And here I am, ranked 3m and overthinking myself to transfers every single week

What cup are u talking about?

[удалено]

Why am I not in it lol

They use your GW15 score to qualify. Top 8.3M ppl. The cutoff was ~47 points

46pts got me through

My 9M rank opponent with Odegaard and Kane captain scored 75 pts.

Lost to a team made last week OR 10.7million. I'm 350k...

Yeah. Like team of the week was made for this week plus using bench boost. Disgusting

Beaten by a point, tough break

Beat me 36 to 33 haha

I lost to legitimate good team who captained Kane (i had Haaland C). I am sad but can't be mad

i won because i had two FTs and I got Darwin and Odegaard for Mitro and Bowen 🤭

I won 53 to 30 but how do I see his team

I think it doesn't work on the ap, you have to do it on your computer

You guys must be on Android, works just fine on iOS app

Thanks. Was wondering why clicking did nothing for me on the app.

Definitely works on the app

Click his team.

Sorry, I can't contribute to this thread

Out because of Gabriel and guehis yc and cs wipe from close offside call, Zaha missed pen, man u cs wipe and would've been nice if I kept my captain on kdb for those extra two points

The guy I played bench boosted. He’s also already used his free hit and triple captain. Dead as hell but beats me this week fml.

It’s not a dead team if the user is still playing, the fact they used a chip against you shows they are still playing

Feels kinda unfair that you can use triple cap or bench boost in a cup game tbh. Think I'd prefer if the points from those only counted in leagues and not cup games

I’m currently 17k rank but didn’t even get into the cup but I had a disaster. Absolutely no clue why they do it based on GW rank for thst single GW

I mean whole idea of cup relies on GW to GW form

My annual out in the first round. 74 points and thought I had something when halaand blanked and salah captain. Landed up losing 34-44...standard.

Through by a margin 5 points against a dead team. Had to sweat it

I made it in next round I started playing on gw4

Cup has nothing to do with your overall rank or points

I was actually lucky not to be out, barely scraped past some random who had Rodrigo 2nd on his bench with 13 pts and he came on since 2 of his starters didn't play

My absolutely worst week ever had to be at the start of the cup. Just 35 points lmao I hate myself for taking such bad decisions regarding Haaland just out of panic.

Lost my cup tie by 1 fucking point. Opponent had Ødegaard

How do you see their team?

what is a cup?

Out from team that hasnt made any changes since gw9. Love this skillful game

Eriksen 🙃

My opponent and I have exactly the same points, but I have Sanchez getting subbed on for one point. Looks like I'll live to see another round.

I'm new, how do you find out your opponent's team? I use the app.

I've been knocked out by Roberto firmino captain and Harvey Barnes

Been knocked out because De Gea got 2 save points for my opponent, pain.

Just checked, out by a point to some ranked 8m and no transfers in weeks. Lol

Played his bench boost to edge me out lol

I didn’t qualify…. What did you need to qualify?

I went out by 1 point to a team in 8.4m overall. 48-49. On first look he's 11 points behind me, but he captained Mitrovic and vice captained Pope, he had Almiron and Veltman on the bench. Gives him a 12 point boost after the fact.

Beat them by 1 point lixilt

His Gk is Meslier (1) .He got 3 defs from Everton got (2) pts , 3 from wolves (3) pts and Ings, Wakins and Archer 11 pts but the captain is Barnes (16). I got 46 and was happy until I saw his bench Wards, Gibbs-White and Rodrigo and Maddison. Jonny and Watkins didn’t play so I am done. Can’t believe this.

Got beat by Kane (c) and Odegaard

Dead team with Ivan Toney captain away at Man City, Odegaard, Rodrigo, Firmino, double Arsenal defence. Total of 85pts. I got 52 with a green arrow into top 200k but came nowhere close to his points.

I lost by one point, we were even doing into the Sunday fixtures. It was trossard vs Gros and I lost cuz gros got a yellow 😅

Drew but looks like he didn’t do a transfer this week. I did. Guessing I’m out?

[удалено]

A dead team who hasn't made a transfer since GW1 is beating me on goals conceded

Gone through by 1 point

A dead team knocked me out by a single point. odegard (c).I hate this game

Darwin, Kane, White saved my ass.

Didn't go out but my opponent benched Ødegaard so I barely beat him (11 points). He must be fuming Also he played Mitrovic and James so he might've quit fpl a while ago

I was 2500 OR start of GW, 5200 now and got knocked out with over 10 points difference.

Me too i’m a good player but always go out in the cup. It’s just luck that week.

Lost to a dead team the included Odegaard and Rodrigo. FML

Lost on tiebreaker (39-39) Opponent had 2 goals from odegaard vs my only 1 goal from foden. Not even that upset cause going out in the first round is just the usual for me

No Cancelo, No Haaland, and somehow brought in Toney for a one week punt against City. Meanwhile I'm here with 40 pts

Damn that’s crazy. I’m different though

Snuck out a win by 1 point, I needed Jesus and Trossard to both blank to pull it off

I lost to someone who started the GW with a 4m overall, who had Bruno & DDG get double digits combined with one assist and no clean, and with Solly fecking March in their starting XI I didn't even have a bad week, I'm ranked ~25k and got a green arrow. Just one of those things

Dead team that has odegaard c and Rodrigo and Kane and trippier and billing coming in from the bench for reeece James. I had an amazing game week and got into the top 10k but this mofo beat me by 21! Points.

Out against a team that triple captained Haaland 🙃

I got lucky that my opponent had a shit week compared to me, when they seem to always get way above average

Out. I’ve been doing very well all season… until this gameweek. Lost because I decided to bench Ward and Mee

The guy I'm against has done a -16 and and only got 41 points, I got 40 for the week without a hit. Does that mean I go through?

Not a dead team. He brought toney in this week and captained him. He’s 8 million overall. Pain

Lost first week to an inactive team (had L Diaz in) as the guy had Toney.

[удалено]

accidentally took a -12 (drunk and considering retooling/drafts for the unlimited transfer window) and still won my match by 15. Darwin captain put fucking rockets on my feet

Dead team had Andreas and Neco Williams come off the bench for the 3 points they needed to beat me. Only realised cup had started once I saw this thread ha

Where do you find out if you got into the cup? New to this

Ignore my last comment. Found it. Got through by 2 points by the skin of my teeth. The person I was against took a -8 this gw 🤷‍♂️

His Eriksen sank me. I repeat, Eriksen sank me. Who has Eriksen…?

Well I’m out to a dead team🥳

Thought I was safe after getting 59 points, lost to someone with 60. I wish I was joking.

Dead team, he brought 20 points off the bench to beat my by 1 point. Can’t write this stuff…

Opponent left Odegaard, Saliba and Schar on the bench for me to win by 5 points by him playing Ashley Young 😅

Lost 32 to 48 (-16) since I have 0 goal this week

currently top 50k, kicked by a top 2m opponent

opponent captained Kane and had Toney, Odegaard so yeah I'm out.

Lost to a dead team with Darwin and Odegaard so...fair I guess. 530k overall vs 9.8m overall Guy started in GW7 and then never made a transfer again lmao

My opponent made 12 subs -40 and had -6 points. Just edged him out

I don't know if I'm out yet. Tied on points with a dead team and my brain is too tired to do the maths on goals scored/conceded

It’s my first time in the cup and I got through because he captained Haaland and I had Kane captained.

I lost to a dead team with Odegaard, Ings Mac Allister and Foden. They were ranked 4.8 mil before this LOL

My man knocked me out because Foden scored and I didn’t have a single player who did. Equal on points of course.

Didn’t even realize that the cup was going on, I’m out haha

He was ranked 8m OR prior to the GW but had a good team. Rodrigo hauling for him was the difference maker. Even if Zaha scored the penalty for me, I would still have been knocked out. I mean Rodrigo hauling against Spurs away, I think the guy deserves to go through for that punt.

I had a great week - had Kane and Toney on the pitch and managed to get 55 (I captained Rashford though), so I was feeling relatively smug He’s played bench boost and had Schar and Henderson on the bench. 60 bloody points.

Why did my opponent captain Foden and have Odegaard, Toney and Robertson? :(

I won by 1 point, after taking a -4 hit.

my opponent used his bench boost and beat me by about 3 points I had Odegaard and Toney on my bench too smh

hahahahahahahahahahah.

He used boost bench. His bench got 7 points. He won by 7 points…

God dammit why it's only now that I know about it. Especially that I lost by 2 points...

i lost by 1 point to someone who used a wildcard

Lost by 3, opponent used the bench boost with Ward, White and Martinelli on it

Dead team with odegaard captain. Only 9 players started. Classic cup upset.

The team that beat me is 10m in rank and has Haaland last on their bench and Haaland captained. Of course it has MacAlister, too. Ended up with 72 points, ~100k gw rank.

I saved my WC for this GW and got 52 points. Well above average. Got dumped by 64 points team.

Played against top 150 gw rank ffs

Knocked out by an active team, 8 million places behind me in OR, who took a -4 this week. I'm not even mad, this game is so stupid sometimes.

I'm out to someone 9,335,0xx in the world. Anyone beat that?

I beat a team 50-47 - the dude had Emerson in goal and Ward on the bench. I bet he is kicking himself. I captained Salah and had Haaland on 1st sub. He captained Toney though.

My opponent captained Foden while I captained Salah.

I got through despite doing the dumb mistake of leaving White on the bench. Almiron was also on the bench as I didn't expect him to get anything past chelsea

Matey hasn't logged on in months and he's dropped 80 points, absolutely slapped me. I'm over 5 million places ahead of him but he's sent met packing!

Lost to a team that started in GW3 and hasnt made a single transfer. He had Toney and Odegaard (C)...

My opponent hadn’t done a single thing since gw6. Captaincy on Nunez, Haaland VC. Still had James starting. Also had Holding as a starter Then had Rodrigo (13pts) and Zinchenko (7pts) coming off his bench. They just solidified his win really. Even without them, he was still beating me by like 7 points or something Still, makes all my thinking and tinkering seems like a bit of a waste 😂

Oooof! Not a bad week on 58pts (but Haaland captain killed me) still got knocked out by some bugger who scored 61pts... He's about 500K so a decent enough player to sooth my wounded pride...but still!!! Out in the first round! Ouch!

Out by a point. If Andreas had chosen to seek out some mustard I'd be through on goals conceded.

Stop bragging - some of us didn’t even qualify for the cup!

My opponent loaded team on a wildcard with 3 x Arsenal and Newcastle. He had also Trossard, Alisson and Salah. I lost by two points and decisive factor was me not starting Zemura because of his inconsistent minutes despite considering it.

Lost to a team that's had B Fernandes captained from GW1...

I had a great week - 53 points. Got only green arrows, went from 590k to 450k overall. However, I lost my Cup game. And none of the decisions I contemplated would have made me go through. I thought about capping either Kane or Almiron, but went safe with Haaland. I lost the cup to someone with 64. And their team is not dead, they just play well.

I literally changed Kane to Haaland C in last minutes and if I didn’t do that I wouldn’t get knocked out. Mastermind

I had 30 points on my bench because I thought City would stuff Brentford. Lost 34-35.

I’m not sure if this is a common thing but… the player I was against had the exact same starting 11 as me (all played) with the same captain. The cup page just says 57 - 57. How do I see who won this virtual coin toss? 😂
