With the Fantasy Premier League gameweek 26 deadline less than a day away, the Paddy Power Cup qualifiers will be eager to know of their opponent. The 256 fantasy managers in the first round can find their tie right here…

The current champion of the original version of the Paddy Power Cup, Gooner dave, is in the first round and will no doubt be looking to add the Members Cup to his cabinet. He squares off against a fellow gooner in salmiano.

A former champ of the sister competition is also in round one, with inaugural winner donnellyc up against Busterroo.

Three of the six remaining Scout Contributors are involved in some of the headline games. Mark‘s tie with RafaMC and greek fan‘s match-up against roversnick fill the undercard to what is arguably the main event between Season Ticker extraordinaire Pure Olivia and number one in the world (ID-wise) SuperDunny.

The highest ranked manager in the competition is 13th placed Helge682, and he will face strong opposition in 865th ranked Dirty_harry.

That’s rotten luck for Dirty_harry and, just to contrast that, the lowest ranked manager in the competition, 1,392,976th placed Sonnky has been drawn against the seventh lowest ranked in 529,043rd placed timdogster.

All round one fixtures will be played over this upcoming gameweek, and I’ll bring you a round-up of the results a couple of days after it has ended.

The prizes courtesy of Paddy Power for the competition are a free £150 bet for the winner, £75 for the runner-up and £50 for third place.

If you’re not with Paddy Power yet, then you can sign up via this site and get a free £20 when you register and bet £10. (All offers are only available to those aged 18 and over and are subject to Paddy Power’s terms and conditions.)

      Start off by keeping this in mind, that Arsenal and Brum are not playing in GW 28...

    This is my current team:

    Al-Habsi (Foster)

    Walker Evra Coleman (Djourou, Kelly)

    N'Zogbia Walcott VDV Nani (Adam)

    RVP Dzeko Tevez (c)

    Ideally I'd like to have Ashley Young, a Stoke defender (Huth/Shawcross) and possibly a Birmingham defender for their doubles.

    Thing is, only one transfer. I think I jumped the gun with Walcott, seeing Nasri injured made me think he'd be due high returns.

    So, Walcott to Young this week and Evra to Shawcross? 4 point hit
    Then next week N'Zogbia to Walcott, Kelly to Carr?
    Dzeko could go after this weekend for Odem/Vela, giving me MORE MONEYS$, but all the hits are rather scary. 1 wildcard left.

    Opinions would be greatly appreciated.

          Young is pretty inconsistent and destined to frustrate, mind so is Lennon.

          I think Young is safer because of set pieces, but I'm a sucker for double gameweek players! Maybe Lennon for the next two and then Young/Cahill after that? That's what I'm planning.
