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 |

Bambi says:
for wildcard, (power 5)
a) gibbs and pog
b) sagna and ruiz
January 17 at 4:22 pm
Mile Plankton says:
If you’re not gonna play your 3rd defender, than A.
January 17 at 4:19 pm
Dante says:
Hernandez and Snodgrass -> Podolski and Noble for a hit?
Probably wildcarding after this week.
January 17 at 4:21 pm
Fernando Bubbles - No, I will not rate your team. Do go away. says:
I’m thinking along those lines. But I have Berba instead of Hernandez, and may bring in Giroud instead of Podolski. Wait to see what the deal is with Noble first though.
January 17 at 4:22 pm
Somebody's gonna get Litt Up! says:
I think i am doing the same but with Ba. Too soon for Aguero i think. One week punt on Podolski/Giroud, and then maybe get a City striker the week after as we’ll know the team before deadline.
January 17 at 4:24 pm
Fernando Bubbles - No, I will not rate your team. Do go away. says:
Yep. WC for me straight after though to sort the DGW mess out.

Luiz > Gibbs.
January 17 at 4:25 pm
kvtvk says:
+1
And maybe Berba -> Pod.
January 17 at 4:26 pm
Atwood says:
That’s the one I was thinking, don’t know if I should do another…
January 17 at 4:30 pm
Somebody's gonna get Litt Up! says:
Wilshere or Podolski could be worth the hit.
January 17 at 4:33 pm
Atwood says:
Berbs for Pod could be a good shout as KVTVK mentioned above. Cheers fellas.
January 17 at 4:24 pm
Mile Plankton says:
Berba -> Lukaku.
January 17 at 4:30 pm

Luiz Gibbs and Hazard > Santi for a hit

Do we have any information to go on?

Aaaah, now I get it.
QPR!
January 17 at 4:27 pm
confucius says:
“start for”
January 17 at 4:28 pm
kvtvk says:
Against QPR, sorry.
So, what do you think?
January 17 at 4:35 pm
confucius says:
maybe 1 out of the 2 games
January 17 at 4:42 pm
kvtvk says:
Don’t think I’ll risk playing him then, as I have Demel as well now.
Clichy – Demel – Sagna
3-4-3 good to go.

tevez –> Pod ???
January 17 at 4:27 pm
Count Of Monte Hristo - "Corner the market, then raise the price. Simple economics" (Heisenberg, 2009) says:
Na Tevez is a good option this week imo.
January 17 at 4:27 pm
Somebody's gonna get Litt Up! says:
Tough one, if Tevez starts against Fulham, I’d rather have him.
January 17 at 4:36 pm
confucius says:
thanks
January 17 at 4:26 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 4:32 pm
Mr.B says:
Anytime soon would be nice

If I don’t have Fellaini, is Jelavic worth a 2 weeks punt after the Podolski double?

He has to score soon – doesn’t he?

i’m punting on him….fancy him to explode!

Those of you who never wildcarded last week are you using yours this week or the following?

Hey Berbilly, hard luck on the H2H, I had an absolute blinder this week, got to be happy with your (c) choice though

as soon as this gw starts i WCing
January 17 at 4:30 pm
Santiagounreal says:
Not sure, I think I might do it after this DGW but I have no idea what my plan is. Nothing seems clear to me right now because of questions over certain players. Really don’t know whether to keep Ba or not for instance.
January 17 at 4:31 pm
Herr Vets - Die Rothosen says:
Mine will be activated this saturday, sometime after 11.30.
January 17 at 4:28 pm
Brutus619 says:
All this snow talk is scaring me. I made my transfers early and brought in Gibbs on a hit :/
January 17 at 4:29 pm
Brutus619 says:
To be fair I got rid of Cuellar.
January 17 at 4:31 pm
Count Of Monte Hristo - "Corner the market, then raise the price. Simple economics" (Heisenberg, 2009) says:
I don’t think it will cause too much chaos tbh. It would need to be some serious snowfall on Friday night to put the games in doubt. I reckon all games will be fine.
January 17 at 4:42 pm
Brutus619 says:
Cheers for the reassurance!
January 17 at 4:30 pm

Snow – snow – snow
Ooooo!!!!

Zat Knight Rises says:
Pod going up in price tonight. Maybe Gibbs too.. Just a wee bit of notice for all of you guys thinking of making the transfer
January 17 at 4:28 pm
Chris says:
On WC, how does this look.
Admittedly weak defence, but will probably swap gibbs after double. Also unsure on Sturridge & Aguero this week
Szczesny Bunn
Clyne Davies Gibbs Naughton Demel
Mata Fellaini Michu Walcott Puncheon
Sturridge Aguero RVP
Thoughts?
January 17 at 4:31 pm
heartsattack says:
I like it. Signs seem good for Sturridge but Aguero a guessing game, Naughton pointless imo,
January 17 at 4:29 pm
jaravind says:
How many matches can get called off ? So many matches in North and London .. Should we wait till Saturday morning ?
January 17 at 4:32 pm
Feanor says:
Yes. I’ll be getting up at 6am on Saturday since I’m on the US east coast.
January 17 at 4:34 pm
Kosteevo says:
No idea until snow hits (or not). Save if you can, i had monetary constraints so change done for me.
January 17 at 4:30 pm
Andrew says:
What would happen if you did your transfers this week for a hit and then every game was called off?
January 17 at 4:31 pm
Somebody's gonna get Litt Up! says:
You would have wasted a transfer.
January 17 at 4:31 pm
Kosteevo says:
Red arrow
January 17 at 4:31 pm
Berbilly Gilmore says:
You’d get -4 for the week
January 17 at 4:32 pm
Andrew says:
Lets hope the games go ahead then
January 17 at 4:31 pm
Katie says:
-4 would be your gw score.
January 17 at 4:33 pm
Andrew says:
Luckily I still have my WC so could activate that Friday night and then not score -4
January 17 at 4:35 pm
Namtab Notlob says:
Using it to save 4 points is a tad wasteful, no?
January 17 at 4:35 pm
Andrew says:
I would be using it next week anyway
January 17 at 4:33 pm
Steel Arm - Drogba "Unstoppable, Unforgettable... Irreplaceable." says:
average is 0
)
you are on -4pts (or more
= Red Arrow
January 17 at 4:38 pm
Feanor says:
Pretty unlikely that Wednesday’s game will be called off.
January 17 at 4:40 pm
Andrew says:
Good point
January 17 at 4:31 pm
Toonzie says:
Current team for this gw
Bego
Gibbs/Luiz/Demel
Walcott/Mata/Fellaini/Michu
Rvp/Suarez/Berba
Should i take a -4 hit to bring in mata -> cazorla and berba -> dzeko (might wanna wait for mancini’s press conference before taking a plunge)
January 17 at 4:32 pm
Djerbil says:
What is the consciousness here on the City strikers once Aguero comes back??
Aguero to start almost every match and Tevez/Dzeko to rotate
January 17 at 4:33 pm
Caine & Co. says:
something like that yeah
January 17 at 4:37 pm
Kosteevo says:
Hoping so for less than 11m.
January 17 at 4:32 pm
AK- The Citeh Manager says:
Ba to Poldi?
January 17 at 4:34 pm
Steel Arm - Drogba "Unstoppable, Unforgettable... Irreplaceable." says:
Do it…. even due to rise tonight
January 17 at 4:41 pm
cruzex says:
No…
Podolsky plays only 60-70m per game..
January 17 at 4:33 pm
Dante says:
Do we know why Demel didn’t start yesterday? Just rested?
January 17 at 4:34 pm
Demi says:
Correct
January 17 at 4:36 pm
Kosteevo says:
Rested with a bunch of others i’m lead to believe.
January 17 at 4:36 pm
Count Of Monte Hristo - "Corner the market, then raise the price. Simple economics" (Heisenberg, 2009) says:
Rested. Just protecting what defenders they have left I guess.

Berbilly Gilmore says:

January 17 at 4:37 pm
Devil May Smile says:
Jack Wilshere play in the “hole”, worth a -4 hit? IMO he plays far more consistent than Carzola, don’t you think?
January 17 at 4:38 pm
Frazek says:
Don’t be fooled, JW is not yet an FPL prospect. Maybe in time, but not yet.
January 17 at 4:37 pm
Gimli son of Gloin says:
Who do you think will score more on a one week punt, Lukas Podolski or Santi Cazorla?
January 17 at 4:41 pm
Herr Vets - Die Rothosen says:
Santi
January 17 at 4:42 pm
Steel Arm - Drogba "Unstoppable, Unforgettable... Irreplaceable." says:
Podolski
January 17 at 4:38 pm
stupendous says:
. . Vorm
Davies Demel Gibbs
Michu Walcott(C) Gerrard Mata Fellaini
RVP(vc) Giroud
good to go?
January 17 at 4:39 pm
Gimli son of Gloin says:
Giroud punt is risky. Looks good though.
Great midfield
January 17 at 4:43 pm
stupendous says:
Im thinking Giroud will probably get a start, hopefully versus West Ham, and then obviously up top. CHelsea v Arse should be high scoring, so i’d like to have that Giroud differential.
Gerrard is a must without Suarez for this week. Gerrard to Caz or Bale after this week, but it would be a shame to not have Caz for this DGW (assuming it goes ahead).
January 17 at 4:40 pm
King Henry ii - AFC (feeder club) says:
I like. I’m thinking of bringing in Gerrard mysef

Will some1 please reply!
January 17 at 4:42 pm
when in doubt (C) him,his left foot will save ya!!! says:
sturridge may or may not start this wk but he is nearing a first team berth!!!

Anyone care to rate my WC team? Gonna swap Caz back to Mata after the DGW
January 17 at 4:41 pm
Gimli son of Gloin says:
Can’t find any glaring flaws, looks very solid!
January 17 at 4:44 pm
Mull- Bring back the old bonus points system!!! says:
Mignolet to De Gea. United have to start getting consistent clean sheets sometime in the future.
I like the defence except for Demel as West Ham’s fixtures don’t look great long term.
Love the midifeld but have a way of getting Bale in just in case he starts firing again.
Lukaku could be rotated so I’m not a fan.
8/10

JKisthe1 - A Founder of Berbism says:
I’d keep Migs. I’m looking at Evans for wc.
January 17 at 4:41 pm
goonerbyron says:
Anyone know why Joe Cole wasn’t in the squad yesterday? Is he injured? Want him in for the DGW as long as he’s likely to be playing.
January 17 at 4:41 pm
Demi says:
Just rested
January 17 at 4:41 pm
Mull- Bring back the old bonus points system!!! says:
Is Aguero likely to be back for this weekend?
January 17 at 4:42 pm

if i had to predict i would say probably a sub. back in LIGHT training so may need one more week
