If you didn't captain Villa .... WTF WERE YOU THINKING!!

I have basically been rotating Villa and Gio in my lineup and making them cap when they are in, I cannot tell you how many times I missed a great result by capping each on their off week whilst the other goes on a scoring romp. It's killing my team. I am losing like 20pts+ a week. Its like im playing five finger fillet, but instead of hitting the spacing im hitting the fingers each time. I'm actually impressed what a moosh i am.

 

[Mario]

dam i didnt captain villa and lost because of it. fuck nikolic.

Remind me of the rules for the playoffs. Home and away aggregate? Tiebreaker? In person PK shootout?

Knockout round. Whoever gets more points advances. If there is a tie, the tiebreaker is bench points. If there is still a tie, the teams do it again next week and the rest of the Cup takes a break while the spot is filled.

Yes

Lineups lock at 7:30 PM tonight.

I've gotten very creative with my lineup. With a massive DGW schedule, it may come down to who picks the correct captain.

Midway through the Quarterfinal Round we may have upsets brewing on the right half of the bracket:

Khiry's Magic Boots 85 NYCFC Forums 21

3 Piece Suit Ultras 114 Soup in NYC 67


Sam's Sandwich 75 Malinska FC 93

Soccer Chaos 95 Put A Ring On It 104

I'm terrible at picking captains. I chose Dempsey this week: 22 minutes, 1 point.
