FFS Cup

FFS Paddy Power Cup – The Last Sixteen Draw

Next up, we roll out the draw for the last 16 in the Fantasy Football Scout Paddy Power Cup VII. Site regulars such as Wild Rover and JMS remain in with a shout of silverware. Both have avoided world number one Iyad Zahlan – he is up against Jon Griffiths, who takes on the role of underdog, with a rank around the 52,000 mark.

For those still involved, it’s worth knowing that the last eight will qualify automatically for the Fantasy Football Scout Shield, where they will meet the final eight from the Members Cup, which starts in January.

The FFS Shield has its own prizes and is played out over the final Gameweeks of the season. No pressure, then…

    I have done a stats table for members comparing the goal / assist potential of Aguero vs Tevez (and the other Man City strikers)…

    http://members.fantasyfootball.....view/1711/

    However, even more telling…if you are a member, use the comparison tool: Aguero vs Tevez – all matches this season, but don’t forget to tick “show average per appearance” to allow for the difference in the number of games they have played..

      Considering the price, we would all prefer to have Tevez, that has never been in doubt, the problem is he is a bigger rotation threat.

      You should add "shots on target" to your table, they'll correlate more closely to goals than "shots" do.
      Other than that, great way of proving a point.

      More loosely stapled on. I think Reid is fighting for the same place but keeps getting injured. I think Reid got injured again for the last match so Jones came back in...but it's all very mysterious down west brom way

        A mate of mine is a West Brom fan. He says that the Secret Footballer is Reid, and the other players aren't happy with him for writing his book.
