FFS Paddy Power Members Cup III – First Round Draw
Filed under: Fantasy Football Scout Cup - Posted by: Mark
With Gameweek 25’s matches providing the qualifying round for the third Paddy Power Members Cup, we can now reveal who has made it through, together with the draw for the first round.
A high bar was set, with 66 points required for qualification: those with 65 points progressed depending on rank. The standard was strong enough to see the winner of our open Paddy Power Cup, Wild Rover, eliminated on 62 points. He’ll be waiting for the last eight in this year’s FFS Shield, however. World number four, The Game, also went out with 61 points.
The first round draw features an array of familiar names from the community with some standout on ties on offer. Milanista’s clash with the high-flying Evs and Bouncebackability’s meeting with RoysCallerAnne are just two of the match-ups that catch the eye. With former winners Fuzzy Dunlop and Kippax Kikkers both safely nestled in the first round, it’s a quality field, with competition likely to be fierce as the rounds tick by.
The first round ties will be played out over Gameweek 26 – starting this weekend and concluding with Liverpool’s clash with Swansea a week on Sunday. Good luck to all those involved.

“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.”

Evra’s fixtures look good, and he can’t stop scoring.
Dawson a good alternative though – cheap as chips

what degree of angle ligament?
February 7 at 9:58 am

Me? Jesus the nth degree. Heard the thing snap when it happened. Been doing strengthening for ages now but it still fells dodgy. Chronic instability I think

Did mine in Dec 08 and it still hurts every now and then, one spot in particular is still painful if pressed.
February 7 at 9:57 am

don’t press on that spot then.
honestly, do i have to think of everything?
February 7 at 9:57 am
Dogba says:
So Dempsey or Adebayor to play striker now?
February 7 at 10:01 am
Impressive Tackle says:
Yep. Did mine at football twice now, neither of which caused by tackles. It’s a pain in the arse and you become prone to rolling it occasionally.
Have to be very careful. It has actually made me more understanding of footballers coming back from injury. There is a huge psychological barrier to get over and then of course set-backs.
February 7 at 10:06 am
Damo says:
Yeah boy I was thinking about the psychological thing too! I feel nervous going over cobblestones now like. Going out to face the likes of Cattermole must be heartstopping.

Ok thanks for replies above. Now which of these options would you go for this week?
A) bale + Henderson
B) Gerrard + Lambert
It comes down to whether to ship bale for a week to get Gerrard but this would almost certainly result in another points hit next week to get a playable team.

Benteke for me but need to chosse the fixtures wisely.
February 7 at 10:03 am

Lambert. Saints under Pochettino seem very attacking and should get lots of goals.

I’m stuck on the same question…leaning towards Benteke as he’s involved with most (75% I think) of Villa’s goals, but also agree with Paz on Pochettino’s tactics…argh!

Assuming no blank GW29 for United, how best to fill the blanks:
Szczesny – Cerny
Zabaleta – Demel – O’Shea – Davies – Wilson
Mata – Walcott – XXX – Bale – Sissoko
Van Persie – XXX – Sturridge
A) Guthrie + Rooney + £3.3m
B) Silva + Suarez
The big appeal of B is a strong bench plus a very good value striker double-up
February 7 at 10:00 am

Kebe & Rooney
