Eliminator Thread

[SELFCONFESDAFLNERD]

The eliminator is back as of this week! Its a shame that the prize is so small as its a bloody fun competition. I believe last season a BigFooty user won it (I apologise that i don't know who it was) so hopefully the BF fraternity can make it 2 years in a row. I believe the first matchups will be set on Wednesday so keep your eye on the eliminator page, and good luck!

EDIT: Looks like it was DaVe86. Congratulations again! It'll be interesting to see how you go defending your crown

It's only open for the top 16 thousand odd teams per the website

(obviously hasn't been updated since 2014)

[Pea Nut]

Also on the bye.

 

[The breed]

Also got the bye, is anyone actually playing anyone

 

[SELFCONFESDAFLNERD]

Bye for me too. Most of the top 8000ish will have a bye given there are a bit over 11000 participants total. That said, someone on here has got to have a matchup, surely!

 

[Agechamp]

Bye for me also

 

[DaTBird187]

I'm playing someone. They're ranked 7,329 and scored 1894 last week.

 

[TheRednWhite]

no bye for me...of course

I'm on left, and this is before trades. I really shouldn't lose this but I'm terrified of his Macrae and he will likely make him captain too. I've got Crisp who is well overdue for a bad game, Cogs who will probably score poorly if still battling the hand injury, Billings who could be bad in a big loss. Macrae will be so good this week for him, Pendlebury has hit form and so has Hoff. He has Miles, Moore, Elliot and Collins on field so there's my chance, but still think this will be closer than on paper

 

[2006_Eagles]

I've got someone who literally has half Saints players and the other half Gold Coast.

 

[go you pups]

Lol, what a joke

I'm ranked 86th yet was drawn an opponent...

Luckily enough it's an autofill side with a number of injured players in it and rookies who won't play on the bench, bloke probably made his team then forgot about it

Would be a massive choke if I get rolled

Nobody will have a more cursed matchup in league or eliminator than the one that I am experiencing right now. Was projected to win by around 200 and now will lose by 100.
My uniques in Cogs, Bray, Billings and Lloyd all well under their averages.
My opponent gets tons from Pendles, Hoff, ******* Anthony Miles, Elliot and also ******* Lockhart. All tons FFS! He also holds Dunkley and gets 145 from him. The real kicker comes when I see that he had Answerth as captain!!
This guy ranked around 8000th probably won't even realise how much he has ****** me over.
The most cursed day of fantasy I have ever had in a matchup, truly other-worldly.

In summary: Miles, Elliot and Lockhart all ton up for opponent, completely smash my premo trio of Cogs/Bray/Billings. He wins by 100 odd DESPITE HAVING BLOODY ANSWERTH AS CAPTAIN.

I challenge anyone to have a more cursed matchup this year.

So you're out?

 

[TheRednWhite]

So you're out?

Need Danger + Telly + Atkins + Brouch to outscore Laird + Devon + Gibbons + 174 points.

Yes, I'm out.

Have just enough cash to trade Constable to Sloane, who would replace Atkins. Would give a glimmer of hope but will just make the defeat even more painful

You're an outside chance but will need a few things to go your way

Danger, Telly and Brouch could easily be 350 combined, then you'd want a 70 from Atkins, so 420 there

Smith and Laird 80s + Gibbons 50 + 174 = around 390

You will need your 3 premiums to go higher than his guys for starters then it's luck after that

Do I trade Constable to Sloane, who replaces Atkins on field? My overall rank is shot and eliminator is all I have left to play/live for. Sloane gives me a better chance but he isn't the premo I was targeting...he isn't the worst option though, at his price.

You have 25 minutes, how is your opponent tracking with Gibbons?

Gibbons just kicked an arsey goal from outside 50. I think I'm going to need around 440 from Danger, Atkins, Brouch, Telly. Sloane would really help...

Bring him in then if it helps your chances

 

[TheRednWhite]

OH FMD I did it. Sloane IN, Constable OUT. I'm CRAZY!!

 

[TheRednWhite]

FFS DANGER (C) Don't make this all for nothing! You to Telly, go 120

 

[TheRednWhite]

Danger down into the rooms...I'm done

 

[go you pups]

Oh you captained Danger too

Dude you were fine then, I gave you those estimates purely off no captain score, Danger injury/playing forward has hurt you again here

He also has Danger though, so I simplified the equation.
Sloane and Brouch my only hope now
