Please not that, as explained in this initial article, these ties won’t take place until Gameweek 30 due to the numerous blanks in the fixture schedule this weekend:

Looking at some of the other former champions, MCH takes on BroTown_Tindersticks, Jonty is up against coletrickle88, donnellyc squares up to Carlton Palmer and Gooner Dave takes on Fitzy.

The tie of the round sees two of the top 500 FPL managers go head-to-head.Skeptical, currently sitting in 136th spot in the overall standings, take on Lardy, who isn’t far behind in 470th spot.

In the Members Cup IV, reigning champion Acqufresca fell at the first hurdle. He was knocked out by Caladan Brood, who now faces Quite Big Dunc next time around, whilst another former winner, Fuzzy Dunlop, takes on Droginexile. The top-ranked manager is 2nd Man – currently sitting in 380th overall, he’s up against Fitzy (39,504) for a place in the next round.

    Probably going for Begovic in goal for the rest of the season, who would you keep as cover out of Adrian and Mannone?

    They are only likely to get a game in GW33 anyway...

          the red flag just means he will need more transfers out before a price drop occurs, and once the flag is lifted the price is protected for a eek . . . by then, of course, nobody will care !! If you want to read up, the price protection/flag info is somewhere on the FISO site

          I agree. The thing is, both he and Gerrard like smashing a 40 yard ball too often. It'll be a throwback to Lampard, Gerrard and Beckham where our style was to twat the ball as hard and far as possible, as often as they can.

          Gerrard can mix it and stay in that deep role all game now, I think Rooney wanders forward by nature.

          For me, it's Rooney or Wilshere in the most advanced CM role.
