After Tuesday’s results, it’s time to announce how those 128 fantasy managers making it through to the second round of the Members Paddy Power Cup have been paired off. The full set of fixtures can be viewed right here.
Last week’s top scorer, RafaMC, faces tougher opposition this week (sorry Mark) in 2,888th in the world The Barbarians.
Another centurion from last week, xabi_14, has been matched up against the winner of the only drawn fixture from last week, trisonetwo.
Current holder of the non-Members Paddy Power Cup, Gooner dave, looks to have a favourable tie against rank outsider JimmyDeemo.
After Helge682 was put to the sword in round one by Dirty_harry (up against Girtmint this week), the highest-ranked manager left in the competition regularjohn (44th in the world) has been pitted against Kippax Kloggers.
Despite an array of big names left in the competition, looking for a ‘glamour tie’ doesn’t reveal too many candidates. So instead I’ll just wish denial the best of luck (poisoned chalice?) as he looks land the knock-out blow to pompeyfan, after I softened him up last week.
The Scout representatives are down to a pitiful two, but da Beeeez will fancy his chances against Kvanmo, as will last-out-of-the-hat Granville in his tie with Mole, with both Contributors holding a hefty world rank advantage.
The round two fixtures will be played over the long Gameweek 27, 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.
