FFPL Matchday 6 Previews and Chat (I think)

MajorLazer · January 13, 2011, 04:03:19 AM

Last week I don't think we had a thread and it was hard to keep track of our matches when others were posting about their matches.

Here are the matches:

Roo Boys! v Feeling Sheepish: Two animals going head to head... literally. This match looks close on paper, but these matches aren't played on paper. They are played out in the FTP world. Think Roo Boys! should be going in as the favourite, but upsets happen in FTP on a regular basis. It is most runs scored vs. 2nd least runs conceded. If the Feeling Sheepish bowlers can restrict the amount of runs the Roo Boys! batsmen score, they will have a good shot at winning this match.

DazBurg's Greatness v Tickle My Timber: After a convincing defeat at the hands of Gunz n Rozez, Tickle My Timber will be looking for a win to steady themselves and start to put some pressure on the teams above them. This match could be very close and could come down to superior tactics for either side. DazBurg's Greatness could cause an upset and take down a higher caranked team, but Tickle My Timber looks too strong to be beaten.

Gunz n Rozez v Hello: Top of the table clash this week. It is also our game of the week. This match is being played on a crumbling pitch, so it will be a bowler's game. Early wickets could decide this game and a strong batting line-up will be needed. Gunz n Rozez looks to be favourites in this battle of the Killer Bees, although Hellopplz may use his leadership position to convince Gunz n Rozez manager, BOOMZ, to throw the game. :P

The Brat Pack v Academy of Ireland and Aus: The Academy of Ireland and Aus are still looking for their first win of this FFPL campaign and will have a tough time against a strong Brat Pack line-up. This match is also the battle of the keepers with both teams boasting fantastic young keepers. Ethan Cain and Kalabhiti Trupti have shown their tricks of the trades and they could be the keys to either team's success. It looks like the Academy of Ireland and Aus will remain winless after this matchup.

Fletch's No Balls v John Howard's Coathangers: In the final FFPL match of the round, we see two league opponents go head to head. We have already had a preview with a midweek T20 match. This match was convincingly won by Fletch's No Balls, although they were outrated by John Howard's Coathangers. With this knowledge, John Howard's Coathangers will be out for revenge to secure their 4th win of the campaign. This will be a very close matchup, but going by recent results, Fletch's No Balls should come out victorious.

Thanks Shaggy. I can't sleep and had nothing better to do. :P

Yeah neither can I. I'm building lists at the moment for my NBA/AFL draft's positions. It's way too muggy and sticky.

MajorLazer · January 13, 2011, 04:20:11 AM

I should be either asleep or doing research for these drafts, but I'm just picking off the top of my head. Just hope it pays off. :P

Absolute shower weather today.
