The Members Paddy Power Cup reaches it’s business end this weekend, with just 32 Fantasy Managers competing for the prestigious trophy. Before announcing the fourth round fixtures, here’s a round-up of the third round results

Despite notching a respectable score of 70 (average for the round a touch under 63), denial could not deny the highest-ranked competitor in the tournament a place in the Last 32. Now 23rd in the world, Zophar advances.

Also on a seemingly unstoppable run is FFS Cup III Champion, Gooner dave, who saw off Merlinho 65 – 52.

Top-scorer for the round was Squerly4568, the only manager clocking a ton in the round, as he thrashed jangbobob 103 – 56. That was the joint-highest margin of victory, as Ghost (99) smashed Ozasis by the same difference.

Not through to the Last 32 are any of the Site Contributors, as Granville crashed out by a single point to Dave Boozle, and with the highest losing score (71).

The draw for the fourth round has already been made, and the fixtures for which can be viewed right here.

It’s a round that includes the reigning FFS Cup III Champion, two of the top 100 in the world, and plenty of familiar names from the site. Good luck to all the remaining participants!

Once again, the prizes for the competition, provided by Paddy Power, 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.)

    Wow how I love Fifa!

    Ultimate team cup thingy, playing a team that is 5 star with the likes of Tevez Vidic Evra Sagna etc etc etc.

    I go 1-0 up after 10 minutes, he gets Tevez sent off before Half time. HT 1-0 Up, surely I can't lose. But no... Straight from kick off 1-1, then he goes and gets another 2-1, I am pressing up field more and more. 74 minutes gone. 3-1 🙁 BUT I go and score in the 80th minute !! 3-2 Game on! Then I score again in the 90th minute! 3-3, I go crazy. Into Extra time. 98th minute! I SCOREEE!!!!! 4-3 I could physically feel my heart beating without touching towards the end of the second half of extra time, I end up winning obviously. 🙂 🙂 Fifa is probably the best game ever to be invented.

    From Team News:

    "Carlo Ancelotti will be in two minds as whether to keep a similar shape to the side that beat Manchester United on Tuesday or rest some players for the Champions League fixture against FC Copenhagen, two days after the trip to Bloomfield Road. Squad players such as Didier Drogba, Solomon Kalou, Yuri Zhirkov and Mikel could get starts, so the manager can rotate for the European clash. Alex and Yossi Benayoun remain sidelined."

    As far as i know Chelsea play Blackpool on the 7th and play FC Copenhagen on the 16th?

      You are correct. Anyway, I doubt Ancelotti would be so stupid as to play a few fringe players at Blackpool after seeing plenty of other 'big' clubs struggling there this season.

          Not a chance. But, speaking about his role in the formation we are playing....

          With us playing a 4-4-2 variant, Lampard inevitably has to carry out a lot of more defensive duties, and his attacking returns - penalties aside - are bound to suffer. He's a much more appealing option when part of a midfield trio, where the other two - say Mikel and Essien - carry out more than their fair share of defensive work.

            his opta stats dont lie though.. 2nd highest attempts on goal in the last 4 weeks (2nd only to nani) and highest in key passes..

            do you think nasri is a better option? seems short term as fabs back tends to eat his points

                  Yeah probably, he's certainly better value for money.

                  I'd much rather spend 12+ on a forward, like Torres, than on Lampard.

          It works both ways though... Neither of them have taken many point hits because their team has been good all season.

          I took loads of hits last season, and just got a fairly good green arrow after making five transfers. So you can definitely be successful in this game by making a lot of transfers, you just obviously have to make good transfers - which has been a bit of a problem for me this season!

            This is true. But i have been guilty of taking unnecessary hits at the start of the season just because a player has a good fixture.

          I'm looking at Lampard - I looked at him last week but figured the United game wouldn't be the best time to bring him in.

          Blackpool should be points, I don't see City doing all that much at the Bridge and though Stoke might be a pain in GW31 they're not exactly Barcelona.

              Watching the highlights of the Blackburn match Robinson made 3 wonder saves from him, any other day he would have got a brace.

              I think he needs the team to perform better to poach his goals, I wouldn't go out of my way to get him in but I wouldn't transfer him out if you follow me.

                I do. I got him in as a long term investment his fixtures until gw36 I think are amazing - but Lampard is tempting me so was thinking of downgrading..I already have Young as Villa cover..I think you're right though, would be foolish to get rid now.

      I've got the Bendy Bully on the radar.

      Arshavin a better option than Lampard too IMHO

        Remember my name and be prepared to kneel in apology when bendy does nothing and Chamakh scores...

    Best Option? (already taken for a 4 point hit so any tranfers would make it an 8 point hit..)

    (a) No hit & do Bentley -> VDV next week
    (b) Barton > Arteta
    (c) Kelly > Luiz
    (d) other suggestions?

    Thanks 🙂

        just think arse struggle wiout walcott/fabs/rvp. nasri should've been played central all season by wenger cos the toher players can adapt better to bring something to the team, nasri is merely a nice dribble then pass it square player atm...

      Berba for Huth. Berba will more than likely start this weekend and he has a point to prove. Huth has a tough away game which they will more than likely not get a cleanie.

    Right need help.

    I need to get rid of some players and trying to figure out which ones to do this week and which next week.

    I have Rafael, Jara, Brunt and Odem that I want to get rid of. I think an 8 point hit this week and no point hit next week would probably be the best way.

    This week

    Rafael > Baines/Hangelaand
    Brunt > Nasri
    Odem > Zigic/Beckford

    Next week

    Jara > Huth

    HELP?????? 🙂
