FFS Cup

FFS Paddy Power Cup XI Final Preview & Members Cup V Winner

This evening we preview the final of the Fantasy Football Scout Paddy Power Cup XI, plus reveal the winner of the Fantasy Football Members Cup V.

Waltzingmatildas was crowned the latest winner of our Members trophy, claiming a 75-61 victory over faux_C from Gameweek 37’s matches.

With both sides sharing so many assets, it was David Silva’s 9-point contribution and the 10-point return from Hector Bellerin that eventually saw Waltzingmatildas emerge victorious. She (Tanya Sharma) picks up a £200 Amazon voucher as her prize, while faux_C (Chris Doyle) claims a £100 voucher as his runners-up reward.

Chris has another opportunity to find glory, however, as his Gameweek 37 tally proved enough to see him progress to the final of the Paddy Power Cup XI. faux_C edged out HammersXI in our semi-final to move into Sunday’s final.

The big news is that Mark’s sensational run of form, propelling him to an overall rank of 64, has also earned him a place in Sunday’s showpiece to oppose Faux C. Mark’s impressive Gameweek 37 tally of 87 was enough to see off Hutton Dressed as Lahm in the semi-finals.

With a rank of 3825 faux_C goes into the tie as underdog but with markedly different squads, the tie is still hard to call. Our finalists have just three players in common – Jeffrey Schlupp, Sergio Aguero and Alexis Sanchez. Mark’s key differential looks set to be David Silva, while faux_C will be hoping for a haul from Christian Benteke and Olivier Giroud to give him the edge in the tie.

HammersXI and Hutton DressedAs Lahm will now go head-to-head in Sunday’s third place play-off.

Congratulations to our winners and best of luck to Sunday’s finalists. Even Mark.

    pressers tomorrow will be interesting..I'm looking at Ramsey + Giroud out for free to

    A) Mata and Lukaku

    or

    B) Mirallas and Costa

    favoring the former heavily right now (both on pens too)

    When is Chelsea presser?
    For anyone who has had wisdom teeth removed and knows what it is like to have it done, you will know that Haz won't be playing this weekend

      he would have trouble being ready for it even if it was a must-win match..let alone a completely meaningless one for both clubs

        his face will be as swollen as anything and people are still wondering whether he will be able to run around. It would feel like carrying a ruck sack from your jaw

          all the bouncing from running..maybe inadvertent grinding of teeth at times..not worth it

      You must have had a bad dentist mate because I was fine within hours.

        depends on the state of them. MANY dentists opt to just remove them to be done with it before they're a problem.

        Able to run around at premier league intensity were you? 3 emergency extractions from impacted wisdom teeth isn't the same as rolling into your dentist or facial surgeon for planned extraction

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 10 hours ago

          I've never been able to run around at premier league intensity but I was able to play rugby to my usual crap standard two days later with no problem at all after having 2 wisdom teeth extracted.

      3. Oz lotto
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 11 hours ago

        I;ve had one of mine out in an emergency because it became infected (possibly what happened here) and I couldn't eat solids for 3 days and was still on painkillers a week later

    3. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 hours ago

      I once removed/operated out 2 at the same time. Couldn't eat normally for 3 days.

    4. Jay_
        9 years, 11 hours ago

        I had all 4 out at once it's no big deal

      2. Oz lotto

        Yeah not sure whether to go him or silva... it means holding Kane but oh well crap happens

    6. Dr Dream

      9 years, 11 hours ago

      Why would somebody have three wisdom teeth out as an emergency ?...What happens to them ? I assume it's not through tooth decay, not all at once...

        Perisoronitis and Infections

        You may develop perisoronitis if you have a partially-erupted wisdom tooth that has become inflamed. Often, inflammation is caused by food lodged beneath the gum. At our office, we can gently search for and remove food debris, as well as clean the affected area and treat it with antibiotics. Do not avoid treatment, however, as untreated perisoronitis can lead to infection, which ultimately places your health at risk.

        Crowding and Impaction

        When your wisdom teeth erupt, they may cause overcrowding of your teeth, which can have a negative effect on their alignment. This can make it harder for you to clean your teeth properly, and it also increases the chances for developing tooth decay and other oral health problems in the future. For some people, the wisdom teeth never erupt, becoming impacted beneath the gum and causing problems with the neighboring teeth.

        If you have wisdom tooth crowding or impaction, make an appointment with our office soon. We will be happy to evaluate the progress of your wisdom teeth, as well as their effect on the rest of your jaw. Depending on our analysis, we will then discuss your options for treatment and whether extraction might be right for you.

        1. Dr Dream
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 11 hours ago

          So as it's an "emergency" I assume maybe one became infected and he's had the other to done at the same time...if it was overcrowding then that could have waited a week. I'm just curious how three teeth can be an emergency instead of just one.

      2. BeachBadger
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 11 hours ago

        Pain I would assume. Just pushed together to hit that sweet spot. Perhaps pinching a nerve? Im no dentist so only speculating. But yeah I had the same thoughts alright.

      3. Oz lotto
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 11 hours ago

        "Emergency" is an over exaggeration... but it's bloody painful when they get infected, I can tell you first hand - so yes... it would be an urgent extraction but it's not a medical emergency haha

      With Hazard, Oscar and Fabregas all (probably) out for the weekend, what will Chelsea's attack look like? Costa, Remy, Cuadrado all likely to start? + another squad player (which one?)

      1. goriuanx
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 10 hours ago

        Willian or Brown

        1. ronmadpirlo
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 10 hours ago

          Is Brown any good? Also I don't know why but Willian wasn't in the squad vs West Brom

    10. TheCurseOfRaheem

      So annoyed about this Hazard news. Rival sold him last week, would've have been a great differential. Have to hold the donkey combo of Giroud and Kane now too..

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 10 hours ago

        Do we think he won't play?

        1. TheCurseOfRaheem
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 10 hours ago

          Looks a certainty that he won't imo.

          1. Big_Andy_GAWA
            • 12 Years

            It reportably bad, yeah?

              9 years, 10 hours ago

              It seems so. He supposedly is unable to to collect his FWA award so I can't see him playing a football match. Especially an irrelevant one.

      1. Bubz
        • 10 Years

        Probably full Pulis but I'm hoping Lescott still thinks he's Messi like the Chelsea game

      My gf's been complaining for hours about toothache. She's been going on and on about the pain, and how much she's afraid of the dentist.

      I'd had enough, so I got a pair of pliers, stood on her forehead and yanked the f**ker out.

      Let's see how much moaning she can do without a tongue.

      Why did (the) Giroud refuse Novacaine when he went to the dentist?

      He wanted to transcend dental medication.

        I am delighted with this. As good as Sterling but with a good head on him.

        Was annoyed when I first heard Sterling wouldn't sign a new contract but he has not been great this season and his lack of loyalty and whatever is going on with his agent is crap. Can't see a big club wanting him with the season he has had and he is nuts to turn down 90,000 a week. He could be very successful at Pool but instead will be bench fodder. As my friend in work said earlier he is going to become Aaron Lennon....
