As entry opens for the Members-only Paddy Power Cup VI, we’ve almost reached the final stage of it’s predecessor. Gameweek 22 saw four fantasy managers face off in the Semi-Finals of the Paddy Power Cup V. In case you missed the summary in this week’s ScoutCast, here is how the two ties panned out…

sleepingmaster 48 – 41 ChickenDevil

sleepingmaster advances to the Grand Final after a seven-point win over ChickenDevil. A late fight-back courtesy of Antonio Valencia’s 13-point haul wasn’t enough to close the gap after Stephane Sessegnon and, to a lesser degree, Ciaran Clark’s performances the day before.

Sitting 59,659th in the world, sleepingmaster advances as the underdog, but is safe in the knowledge that he’s already pocketed prizes worth over £100. ChickenDevil will have to settle for a Gameweek 23 3rd-place play-off to bag a prize.

Raasclart 26 – 37 Funkyav

Eleven points was the margin of victory for Funkyav over Raasclart, who has John Ruddy’s unlikely clean sheet against Chelsea to thank. With Funkyav backing a heavy Chelsea win, seeing as his team boasted the likes of Juan Mata and captain Daniel Sturridge, fortune was certainly on his side.

Congratulations to sleepingmaster and Funkyav for reaching the Grand Final! A preview article will follow…

    So it’s looking like the majority are going with RVP Aguero Ba.

    I guess it’s hard to argue against that really with their form and/or fixtures.

    It’s sure going to make the (C) picks a head scratcher for some GWs.

      Could Dzeko be a shout instead of Aguero? That would allow me to upgrade Dyer to Valencia….

        if money is an issue get Dzeko, if it’s not get Aguero, he’s the better home player and is on pens while Mario is out.

    Afternoon all or good morning / night depending on where you are…

    I currently have Bale and Rooney doubtful with one free transfer.

    I will not be transfering Bale out if he doesn’t play but who would you play in his place Walters away at MUN or McAuley away to Fulham?

    I have no problem ditching the pig as he has been an awful pre xmas transfer in and this will just force my arm. If he is out who you would transfer him to? I already have Aguero and RVP

    help would be greatly appreciated

      bale will play keep him – other two options are bad
      ditch teh pig – plenty of options up front.
