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.
