Pottys Fantasy World Cup Finals
So on Sunday night we reach the ultimate end to the greatest football show on earth, the World Cup Final. Well what seems an eternity ago on Thursday the 12th of June, myself and 63 of you started out on a journey in two competitions that were The Perfect 32 & The Dodgy 32 with one goal – to become the Champion of The World. Along the way we have had everything from McDonalds site glitches, managers failing to make H2H deadlines, e-mails from individual’s behind the scene’s begging for another chance after being eliminated, and so much more in Potty’s World.
But now we have 5 Finals on our hands that all individually offer so much, so below is my take on the upcoming finals, enjoy.
Next to each H2H match is the Unique Code to create your World Cup Final.
The Perfect 32
Zzkarimzz v Quallathon (finalgame1)
So in our main Competition we have a quality H2H in store.
Zzkarimzz aka The B is building up a nice head of steam as in his last 3 fixtures his scores have improved each time and as you can see (113/115/125) he is clearly in form and is German like in his progress throughout his route to the final.
Quallathon, a strange one this as his team gained entry into The Perfect 32 by means of the competitions reserve list but he has not let anyone down, and in the Quarter Final round alone he bagged 137pts so he certainly knows his stuff.
The Dodgy 32
Serendipity v The Dreamers (finalgame2)
Managed by a lady the outfit of Serendipity is a class act, in Sarah’s 3 H2H tear-ups her teams points total was 356pts which is remarkable and makes her the clear favourite in this Final?
But The Dreamers will think differently on this front, all the Dreamers captain picks have been the pivotal factor in him reaching the Final and along the way he has removed FF247 & Steve Cook, both were major scalp’s to give The Dreamers bundles of confidence for Sunday.
The Nearly Ones
Inittowinit v Elleffcee (finalgame3)
This is the clash of the North-West as two resident site cowboys lock horns, Inittowinit is like an annoying skin rash as just when you think its gone, it’s bloody back, but one thing is for sure he will be doing hours of research in his dream of lifting this trophy.
As for Elleffcee his recovery from his Round 1 formation mistake and what seemed like throwing in the towel along with his toys out of the pram has been monumental. He now finds himself in this final which has so much at stake for both managers, form wise there is very little in it so Pottys Bookie’s have both at 4/7 to be the winner.
The Also Rans (finalgame4)
Josh 721 v Kop Warriors
This tie is a beauty as its young v old, Josh will want this badly and his recent cluster of points which are 100/125/138 show he has momentum in his favour.
But up pops Kop Warrior and his war hardened outfit, will his tactical awareness see him through? I think it may and if so a small part of the Emerald Isle will have a huge party, to be sure to be sure.
Lose Again, Simples (finalgame5)
Bigpopz v Mutley
The banter Brother’s clash in a mammoth final.
Mutley is a very astute manager and knows all the tricks needed to win this one, he even won his Quarter Final tie with only 96pts to his name and this shows he truly is a dark horse.
But Bigpopz has probably surprised himself by getting this far and I expect him to offer Mutley a huge battle as both manager’s won their respective Semi-Finals with the same score of 133pts.
Expect fireworks!
So that’s it from Potty.
The World Cup has been so much fun and these Competitions have added to it, when I planned all this I never knew how big it would become and that’s all down to YOU.
Thanks,
Big Hugs,
Potty
Morning All
As the Finalist’s can see.
5 Trophies are awaiting to be lifted.
Each one will be Engraved.
Potty
Fantastic stuff Potty. Thanks for setting everything up. Even though my team laboured through like all my other Fantasy teams seem to be doing at the mo’, it really did improve my enjoyment of the World Cup. Had me tuning into games that I would’ve otherwise dismissed. Give yourself a pat on the back young (?) man!
Thanks Potty you are a star , I will get registered as soon as I can.
Serendipity – given your the favourite , any tips for me
I’m not the favourite, just potty’s favourite
Well I think I am just going to put 11 Germany players in ……… Gamble time
Seren- you an exile Irish woman? It lists you as English
Sorry to disappoint you, I am in fact English. I assume it’s my lucky 4 leaf clover confusing you. I am actually a Yorkshire lass.
top man
I have to win this Potty, can’t let the student beat the mentor.
Brilliant stuff Potty – thanks for everything you have put into these comps, its definitely made the World Cup more exciting, truly appreciated.
Elle, good luck mate – now I know you will struggle not being able to phone your assistant to discuss line-ups etc, so please feel free to call me – my no is: 08457 90 90 90 – look forward to hearing from you.
Good luck to everyone else in the finals too.
That the Samaratins by any chance?!
Jeez, it’s true – you all know the number up there!!
Thanks Potty, it’s been brilliant and I am looking forward to the Final, Picking the team is really awkward this week with the 3rd/4th place game included, so you could say there is confusion in the camp.
I would like to thank Horse for dropping out meaning I became a Willy, I hope I have done his name and reputation justice in his place.
From Willy to Finalist, I feel I am the Underdog.
To the B I say this “Never look down to test the ground before taking your next step; only he who keeps his eye fixed on the far horizon will find his right road” lol.
Liverpool and Barca have reached an agreement on the sale of Suarez.
Makes me glad. Liverpool becomes less of a threat, and one expensive FPL option is off the table. Will be interesting to see who Liverpool replaces him with though. Who do you want Kop?
Pool already bougth Lambert/Lallaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Nobody can replace but Sturridge will now always be main striker, 4-3-3 all day.
On that note, Koeman bought himself a good Lallana replacement. Tadic is awesome. You always have to wait to see if he can handle the EPL. Pelle might also come which would be an ideal replacement for Lambert. Pelle was a great talent, then sucked for 8 years and 2 years ago at Feyenoord he found his true form. Think he was topscorer in Holland and with the right delivery he could be at Sot.
Who do I want? I really don’t know mate…all I know is that we cant get a like for like replacement as there isn’t one!
I suggest you spend the money on defenders, because the days of 4-3 wins might be in the past.
Good point Mito…we’ll probably pay over the odds for Lovren!!
A quick google search suggests Southampton FC is worth £57.5m. Would have been cheaper to just buy the club Kop!
Now that would be a novel approach!
Liverpool is rumoured to want Bony. Reckon that would be a good signing; not as expensive as a established top class player, but would still probably score many goals.
Tekno, Bony mightn’t be a bad option should we secure him for a decent price.
I’ve seen a lot of people saying that we should be replacing him with a world class player, but I’m yet to see any realistic suggestions!
Thanks Potty…
I cannot thank you enough for your super-duper competitions….
It has made the WC more fun…
Good luk Mutley …
You can now re-register on the FPL site…I would suggest that this means the launch is quite close
Excellent news!
Registered, I’m in the top 2k already :hippo:
Take a picture of that Init, you know, errrr, just in case :hippo:
You know I’ll never have another season as poor as the last one…
we shall see, my friend, we shall see…..
Glad you’re rooting for me! 😉
I have full confidence in you mate – reckon top 100 for you this season, leading by example and all that.
Oh at least for sure! Reckon you can replicate your fantastic season again, top 500 wasn’t it?
yeah, ish, sort of, nearly…. :whatever:
Sweet. The sooner we know the prices of players the better!!
Suarez priced 13.2. Get him while you can. 😉
Last year the were still a lot of people with Bale in May. 😉
