FFS Paddy Power Cup – Semi Final Results
Filed under: Fantasy Football Scout Cup - Posted by: Mark
The Semi-Finals of the Paddy Power Fantasy Football Scout Cup VII were finally completed last night after Chelsea and Southampton’s 2-2 draw at the Bridge. We find a familiar name in the final, with site regular Wild Rover clinching his place thanks to a 94-75 win over Mr KK…
Now up to 146th in the overall Fantasy Premier League (FPL) standings, Wild Rover’s decision to wield his winter wildcard for double Gameweek 22 paid off handsomely, with Demba Ba, Rickie Lambert, Juan Mata, Luke Shaw and David Luiz all racking up the returns. He loaded up on three double Gameweek 23 players last week (Joe Cole, Guy Demel and Bacary Sagna) and has already made a transfer prior to Saturday’s deadline.
Nevertheless, Wild Rover remains the underdog for the final – a clear sign of the level of competition in this year’s Scout Cup. Standing in his way of the silverware is MileHigh, who has now moved up to 18th in the world and arrives in the final courtesy of a 90-69 win over Ange1Range1. MileHigh also had five players for last week’s double, with Ba, Mata, Shaw and Luiz joined by Jason Puncheon. He still has his wildcard intact but already has four players (Theo Walcott, Kieran Gibbs, Mark Noble and Guy Demel) in his squad for the upcoming double, with a free transfer still to play.
With both sides looking well-placed to take advantage of Arsenal and West Ham’s respective pair of fixtures, we’re set for quite a battle all the way through to Wednesday evening’s fixture at the Emirates.
On behalf of Fantasy Football Scout, good luck to you both.
Meanwhile, Mr.KK and ange1range1 are left to settle matters in the third place play-off.
| 1 | ange1range1 | 69 – 90 | MileHigh |
| 2 | Wild rover | 94 – 75 | Mr.KK |

“I love to attack and I love to go up front...It is a little more difficult than when you are playing centre-back. If you play the way that I want to play, I think my influence is better as a left-back. For the team, it is best that I play as a centre-back. I like to bring the ball out. You need to move the game quickly, and that is one of my qualities as well.”

I have my draft plan but I will tell it later, I want to hear your random suggestion first.Thanks

Defoe out, Pod most likely replacement.
January 17 at 4:04 pm
█▓▒░ Hanamichi ░▒▓█ says:
is it worth playing Demel? I like Wisdom (NORWICH) but dunno who to bench from my defenc if I get him for Cuellar.
Would you have Dzeko or Pol this week?
January 17 at 4:05 pm
Berbilly Gilmore says:
Play Demel
January 17 at 4:06 pm

I suggest you leave it and go and have a pint…..Man U good fixtures…City good fixtures..Walcott dgw and good fixtures.. Defoe lone striker..Suarez is Suarez…Demel dgw…Gibbs good fixtures,, and on and on…Good stuff…

January 17 at 4:11 pm
Jonny T says:
out of budget amo , if i trade well in my WC i could just afford that
January 17 at 4:04 pm
JKisthe1 - A Founder of Berbism says:
Nice keepers strikers and mids, though I’d prefer Mata over Fellaini if you can afford. I;d fund it by dropping Sagan and Azpit to 4.4.5 defenders. Davies and Clyne offer great value, thoguh you could go Davies and Harte for the rotation
January 17 at 4:11 pm
Jonny T says:
yep, looks good. You don’t rate fellaini compared to mata then?
January 17 at 4:15 pm
JKisthe1 - A Founder of Berbism says:
nope, of the ‘Power 5′ Fellaini is the one I’m looking at going without

well done wild rover on getting through
also, i had a very heated argument with a friend earlier who tried to convince me modric was and is a poor man’s fabregas when i foolishly brought up the topic of how tottenham haven’t replaced him yet because there is no other player on the planet better than him that would actually go to tott!
January 17 at 4:04 pm
Brutus619 says:
Why is it foolish? Fabregas wouldn’t. I also assume you mean better than him for the role he plays.
January 17 at 4:07 pm
andyd says:
foolish because of how stubborn my friend was!
yes of course, in his role, sneijder being the only possible exception
January 17 at 4:25 pm
Somalion - New Year's resolution: Think of a better resolution. says:
Modric isn’t better than Fabregas I think, good at Spurs but really hasn’t been good at Real. I mean he was even voted the worst signing of La Liga. Fabregas, although not a nailed on starter, has shown he can play in La Liga and play well.

Kostja says:
Maloney, Noble(if fit) or Marveaux ?
January 17 at 4:05 pm
JKisthe1 - A Founder of Berbism says:
tough one, money no object probably Maloney, most nailed on and most likely to do something from open play, plus has set-pieces. If Marv holds down a spot that may change.
January 17 at 4:07 pm
Kostja says:
Yeah its tough, just fixing my huge budget mistakes in my WC team. Can afford up to 5.2, but the cheaper the better.
January 17 at 4:11 pm
JKisthe1 - A Founder of Berbism says:
hmm, there is always Punch. Personally I’m probably getting either Guthrie or Marv and using the cash in defence.
January 17 at 4:14 pm
Kostja says:
I just cant get Punch for sentimental reasons, went Gaston over Punch 10 weeks ago
. So I just cant do it. And this player is coming in for Gaston, and I have Lambert too. I was considering Guthrie, but if I go that cheap I probably will get Marveaux.
January 17 at 4:08 pm
Kosteevo says:
Ouch! Noble if fit, if not Maloney.
January 17 at 4:03 pm
Mr.B says:
Will Cuellar be back anytime soon? if not what other Sunderland defender can I replace him with that’s nailed in the team and, finally, is it worth the risk to put Sturridge in for Ba or just be safe and go for Suarez rather?
January 17 at 4:04 pm
Iamjack says:
i have 3 def for next dgw …gibbs. jussi..demel..who r unlikely to get good point…only have walcot…
enough or should i bring cazorla or pod
January 17 at 4:05 pm
jayzico says:
Who would you guys bench out of these usual suspects?
Bego
Gibbs Zab Demel
Fella Michu Walcott(C) Mata
RVP Ba Lukaku
(Rudd, Bale, Luiz, Mariappa)
I’m thinking bale only as I think he’ll be marked to death this time round against united???

That would be a ridiculous reaction. He is a manager whose job it is to get results. Not to punish their best players by benching them when they have to win games.
