I was also debating jumping on the Jumbo bandwagon but since he's now got some love I have to go with Emeric's frogs - just because I want to see them get as far as they possibly can! FC Frogs! \o/ |

I make it so far with have all 3 of the last 8 so far are Box teams.
Interestingly enough, the remaining 5 games in round 6 are all between one ranked and one box team. Ranked need to pull their finger out to regain the trophy as 'Top Division'
My personal prediction is that we shall only see 2 ranked teams make the last 8, and only 1 in the semi finals. |

I think i should pick your frogs in return 
Go slann (which, btw, is the most represented race at this point)! |

Go Slann! And they did... right into the casualty box. 
A tough match for my hoppers, short report here: http://fumbbl.com/FUMBBL.php?page=match&id=3367163
Was very close in the first half, but the numbers just became too much to fight against in the second. I attempted to stall, thinking that a quick score with only a handful of frogs left would just end in OT defeat, but in the end it didn't matter. All our hopes rest on you now Emeric! Good luck. |

** Milford from the FC **
The round of 8 has been set and Rata Blanca has allready advanced to the Qt. Finals. As we come into the final push for the Championship it is very interesting that the top bracket is all Ranked teams and the Bottom bracket is all Box teams, except for the slann team who has yet to play their round of 16 match.
Where are the CPOMB teams? Did the dark elfs go home? Did the nurgle teams just melt into a mound of goo? Dwarfs just get tired of this tourney and go home?
Orcs are looking strong coming down the home stretch. SO are the OTS skaven and the power of Hot 5tuff has yet to be put in "check".
The odds makers have this finals as a all skaven affair at 15-1 and and all orc affair at 35-1.
Lets take a look at some of these matches.
 Punish the Monkey
VS
 Hot 5tuff
Punish needs to punish the woodies and lay out the LOS and get the woodies stacked deep in the CAS boxes. AND then try to deal with Vindaloo. With no tackle on the squad they need to take down all the weak woodies first and then see if they can hold on for dear life.
Hot 5tuff just needs to do what they do. Score at will, Vindaloo runs around like a mad man. And in the end get the win and move on. Simple really.
Hot 5tuff once again pulls out the win, shormanned and some MNG for the next round, nothing new here.
5tuff wins this one 3-1.
*************************
 Prey for Death
VS
 Lamez
Prey for Death comes into the match getting big inducement money. they are going to need it. They are out muscled in this match bad and they got to get their wolfs up and running fast in this match. It is going to be an uphill climb if those zombies or golems get smashed up on the LOS. Got to figure out a way to get a couple of score, hope that wizard does his thing and prey.
Lamez just needs to lean on the zombies and golems. Widdle down the support players and then tee off on the wolves. A methodical, conservative approach to this match and they should be able to win this by attrition and move on to the next round.
This is going to be a really close match.
This one ends up going to OT and Lamez just slow grinds down the pitch in OT and gets the win on T5 of OT. Prey for Death puts up a stellar effort but just get ground up to much to resist in the end.
Lames 3-2 over Prey for Death. |

You are the last of the CFFLers in the FC. It is all riding on you, and if you lose, we blame everything on you and kick you out of the league and take your monkey away! |

And Rudiratlos's Wanderraten upset the odds again and take out Lamez! The rats are doing the business, though they are still with 2 GRs as rookies. |
