TQR v. Gooseberry Crumble

@Gooseberry Crumble Ah, well if it isn’t the super-gayweight title fight. 
 

My only hope is that there is an absolute deluge of celebrities giving birth in the next week and a half to distract you from putting together a team that I know will absolutely shit mine up.

I get the sense this was more selected than drawn... because of the clear love we have for each other.

 

I can promise that the #narrative function was not enabled for this draw.

So, its Babyblue in the first round. Hmmm, lets see what we have here. Not a lot of form to go on. Lurked on the forum for last year, but didn't take part in the Cup, so nothing there to go on. Teams for pools like the Hares, Numbers and Deathrace this year would suggest that he/she is no mug. A leaning towards older European (especially Italian) celebs, which definitely has the potential for danger as they could easily turn into unique hits. Could be an interesting match, and certainly no gimme. 

Will certainly have to take a bit more care than I did last year, especially with the subs. 

Also have the difficulty of judging Spades limits on "fame" - how much scraping of the barrel will be allowed. Given Spade's history, I suspect that the bar will be pretty low, but how far to push my luck?

 

Sorry Spade, but you are going to be getting a very late team from me in the first round. Can't have my players slinking off the pitch in the hours before the kick-off as happened last year. I suspect they will all be needed.

Engineer v GUN is a rematch of our second round tie of 2020 which I won 9-3.

 

However I have a shocking record of rematches in the Cup having lost to both Joey and Chorizo in rematches having beaten them both first time round.

 

i have selected the first two topplers for my team that are doomed now to die before midnight on 31st leaving me with all the usual pumpkins.

The return of the YW "Mon The Jags" team has been submitted to Spade, thanks for running and good luck in Round Two to @Pop_Zeus by whom I presume I will be soundly thrashed within an inch of my life.

@YoungWillz I would be most surprised on my first ever entry in this. Here’s to a good clean game. Wait, I’ll take the win however it comes!

Could be worse, of course. In 3 of the 5 Cups, I've been drawn against Reptile. The current score is me 0, Reptile 3. I've a better win/loss record against Spade ffs...

Gary Housteau the first of many fallers before the start line. I am basically Death when I'm drafting up my Cup teams until the day the round starts when I suddenly become Life.

@Spade_Cooley Did you get my team? 

[Spade_Cooley 9,474]

Yep. Will put up a list of teams I haven't received teams from tonight so there's no confusion as to who hasn't made it through.

I don't have much faith in my team, but we shall see how the cards play!

Team sent via PM (eventually, though originally mistakenly as a public message).  Spent way too much time on this today.  Guaranteed that I shot myself in the foot over-researching.  So burnt out I forgot how message sending works, ffs.
