Seven wins later and we have the final four in the Fantasy Football Scout Cup III, sponsored by Paddy Power. Three of the four remaining fantasy managers will win sizeable free bets, but one could well walk away with absolutely nothing (gooner dave is the only semi-finalist with a top-score prize so far). Let’s take a look at how the semi-finals line-up…
Semi-Final One
tippman‘s Route To The Semi-Finals: 1st Rd – 67-66 Mark, 2nd Rd – 60-33 Pieman, 3rd Rd – 55-52 Daz, 4th Rd – 30-24 livnal, 5th Rd – 41-37 Unwilling player, Last 16 – 41-39 Manif, Quarters – 65-62 User.
DRP’s Route To The Semi-Finals: 1st Rd – 59-55 nomar, 2nd Rd – 50-37 deppy35, 3rd Rd – 54-43 coisou, 4th Rd – 33-30 Markus1, 5th – 42-41 Gazzamania, Last 16 – 60-55 Animons, Quarters – 70-61 DollyDaisy.
As if seeded, the first semi-final pits the highest-ranked fantasy manager in the semi-finals against the lowest-ranked. 2,682nd in the world DRP may be in a spot of bother here, having already taken taken a four-point hit, and with a couple of injury concerns. Perhaps those transfers have addressed his problems, we will have to see. As for tippman, well he looks well set this week having already got a couple of Bolton players in for their good run.
Semi-Final Two
The Von Vs. gooner dave
The Von’s Route To The Semi-Finals: 1st Rd – 67-64 Joe Mellor, 2nd Rd – 59-48 Gumby, 3rd Rd – 63-55 Duffman11, 4th Rd – 37-29 andy85wsm, 5th Rd – 39-37 Dksbananas, Last 16 – 51-43 BigRig, Quarters – 71-59 DaFoe22.
gooner dave’s Route To The Semi-Finals: 1st Rd – 74-54 skinnyfish, 2nd Rd – 60-55 jms, 3rd Rd – 60-55 beeduybe, 4th Rd – 29-22 Azfad, 5th Rd – 40-37 coot, Last 16 – 45-44 Back to Back Ballacks, Quarters – 75-56 sandgrounder.
Most of The Von’s and gooner dave’s big-hitters cancel each other out, apart from one key match-up. The Von’s Kevin Davies against gooner dave’s Carlos Tevez could hold the key in this tie. Having said that, how both fantasy managers deal with an injured Cesc Fabregas could also be the deciding factor.
So good luck to all four semi-finalists this week, and I’ll bring you news of how it played out next week.
