Members Paddy Power Cup II – The Grand Final

After nine gruelling stages, Gameweek 33 will see the conclusion of the Members Paddy Power Cup II. We started with over 900 Fantasy managers and we are now down to just two, going head-to-head to scribe their name underneath our former champ, Kippax Kloggers.

Here’s how the Semi-Finals played out…

1The Lord64–54mch
2Pablod45–45*Fuzzy Dunlop

Despite a Mario Balotelli red card, The Lord breezed past mch to book his place in the final, with Clint Dempsey and Juan Mata doing most of the damage.

In the second Semi-Final, Pablod‘s eight-point hit brought the tie all-square, meaning that Fuzzy Dunlop‘s vastly superior overall rank saw him progress.

The Grand Final

The Lord Vs. Fuzzy Dunlop

3rd Place Play-Off

mch Vs. Pablod

Here’s a reminder of what is at stake…

  • Winner – £150 worth of free bets. £50 Amazon Voucher
  • Runner-up – £75 worth of free bets. £30 Amazon Voucher
  • 3rd Place – £50 worth of free bets. £20 Amazon Voucher

I’m sure you’ll all join me in wishing the four Fantasy managers involved in this final stage the best of luck. May the best man win!

    My team for this week:

    begovic
    evans cahill kelly
    bale valencia siggy nasri
    rvp rooney suarez

    sub: Bogdan mclean mcauly caulker

    Have 2 FT's, Thinking of doing begovic + kelly >>>> Mignolet + turner as this would give me 11 players for gw 34. The only problem is that my defense is weak for this week then....thoughts??

    SOOOO CONFUSED:(

    Debating whether to go for a 4-3-3 or 3-4-3 today;

    Team is:

    Vorm, mign
    BAE, Simspon, j Evans, clichy, enrique
    Siggy, Walcott, Valencia, bale, HBA
    Cisse, RVP, Rooney

    Sold Dempsey last week so don't want to make another mistake. problem is that every time I play vorm and siggy they do terribly but when I bench they do well!

    Leaning towards 4-3-3 as clichy could be rotated so first sub would come in. If bale is rested then still have second sub. Enrique will be third sub.

    Hey fellas. Quick repost before i go back to college for the afternoon.

    Im tied at the top of my mini league. My rival will Captain Rooney, that I know. Do I captain Sigurdsson for a differential captain or go with one of Rooney/RVP/Dempsey/Walcott.

    Thanks for the quick vote guys. This is also the semis of a cup mini league im in as well.:)

      Im undecided too. So plumping for the (former) reliable RVP.

    My team for this week::

    begovic
    evans cahill kelly
    bale valencia siggy nasri
    rvp rooney suarez

    sub: Bogdan mclean mcauly caulker

    Have 2 FT’s, Thinking of doing begovic + kelly >>>> Mignolet + turner as this would give me 11 players for gw 34. The only problem is that my defense is weak for this week then….thoughts??

    SOOOO CONFUSED:(

    Skrtel -> Vermaelen (4 point hit). This would give me 10 players for GW 34, but Djouru will be playing in defence this GW... Worth it anyway?

      Nope - I figure he's either fine and will play or won't even be on the bench. Just make sure you have your bench in the right order.
