FFS Paddy Power Cup X Final – The Results

This evening, we look back on the nail-biting final and announce the latest winner of the Fantasy Football Scout Cup X, as sponsored by Paddy Power. We also see who claims the third place play-off prize.

With a Gameweek 24 score of 61, CMIFLFC won a close final against Momalpashands and joins donnellyc, Goonerdave, Ninja_Fit_Saints, sleeping master, Mch, Wild Rover, Tdubb05, Gribude and myself in our winners hall of fame.

Both our finalists had already played their wildcards but 2,473rd ranked CMIFLFC prevailed thanks to a defence that included Southampton’s Nathaniel Clyne and Swansea right-back Kyle Naughton.

Momalpashands, who has an overall rank of 428, was just eight points away but his transfer of Liverpool’s Philippe Coutinho in for the injured Arsenal midfielder Alexis Sanchez, as well as a defence that included Manchester United Phil Jones, fell short at the final hurdle.

Congratulatons to CMIFLFC, who wins £100 worth of free bets with Paddy Power as well as a £100 Amazon voucher. As runner-up, Momalpashands wins £50 worth of Paddy Power free bets and a £50 Amazon voucher.

Meanwhile, our third placed play-off was even closer with Bobbyg scoring 61, whilst 241,362nd ranked Harts Hotspurs close behind with 58. Both played their wildcards but despite Harts Hotspurs captaining Harry Kane and fielding Branislav Ivanovic, bobbyg’s more consistent scoring across all positions was enough to give him the edge. Bobbyg also had Swansea’s Naughton – who earned an assist – to thank as he claims the third place play-off price of £50 worth of free bets and a £25 Amazon voucher.

In addition bobbyg, who has an overall rank of 542, and CMIFLC win a further £25 worth of free bets for getting the highest score of the round.

    That Nando's went down well.

    On the other hand, do you chaps think Alexis will play?

      Demi posted a link a page or two back which certainly makes it more likely than unlikely.

      Anyone else think Southampton will end up goalless, maybe one at best?

      Tempted to go nuts and do Downing to Sanchez(c) (if he starts), Pelle to Defoe for -8.

        I'd get rid of Pelle anyway

        Mane the only Saints attacker worth having

        1. Vardy Gras PBFC
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Yeah, still don't understand why I brought him in. His stats are awful.

            fixtures

            I wasn't having a go, I was sharing your pain, I also have Pelle, sold Kane for him FFS

            1. Vardy Gras PBFC
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 2 months ago

              Didn't think you were JK, so no worries dude.

              I created a table to identify the guys who couldn't hit a barn door and he was high on the list, but I still got him in!

              Yes, mistakes I have made too! I wildcarded Eriksen and Cazorla out three GWs ago!

        Nope a few goals I reckon. Benching Clyne this week to play Terry, Bellerin and PVA.

        1. Vardy Gras PBFC
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Assuming all those start I think it has to be Clyne based on the attacking potential of the others.

      I was just in Nandos and some dude was eating half a very hot chicken, rubbing himself talking about Sanchez. Funny thing is it burnt his shaft lolz

        Mane great option Downings fixtures have not helped him..

      3. Gooner97
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        I'd do it.

      4. Reedy

      5. Walsh

        Good transfer.

      Sooooooo, My teacher clicked "play wildcard" at like 2am on Saturday and it never got played. He got deducted -20 points. Any ways to fix this?

      1. karankachiefs
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Teacher played wildcard whilst drunk

      2. Colonel Shoe 肝池
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        is this his main wc? cos the jan one would have gone by then

        1. Every Dog Has Its Day
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Jan one

          1. RedLightning
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            Too late to do anything about it now.

            If he had spotted his mistake before 11:30am on Saturday he could have made a random transfer that didn't lose him any value, confirmed his wildcard and then reversed the transfer.

            Moral: stay away from FPL when drunk!

        We have all moved to new post

        And no he couldn't have confirmed, and you shouldn't really know what hat your teacher is up to at 2am

        1. Every Dog Has Its Day
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          I checked the transfer history

        Lets hope he made some good choices to claw some of that 20 back...

        Write a letter to premier league HQ addressed to Richard Scudamore. Same thing happened to me last year and he gave me a special week-long wildcard to use to correct this slight administrative error.

        People just guessing

    14. sinik

      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      any WBA fans? what the hell is going on with Wisdom..

      my WC defense is looking threadbare with Toby taking longer than Koeman said and Wisdom randomly not being a starter anymore? does Pulis not trust him or find him experienced/reliable enough?

      1. Teror
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Tony P is just showing him who's boss so he doesn't get above his station like Berahino.

    15. coldblue
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Going with Hazard as captain, good choice? How is Everton's defense nowadays?

      1. Teror
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        They've been so solid recently mate. Few clean sheets in a row.

    16. Teror
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      So glad I never sold Aguero after his injury, he costs 12.8 now! Wowzer!

      DDG or Panti?
