The draw for second round of Fantasy Football Scout’s Paddy Power Cup V has been made, giving the 512 fantasy managers in the competition a full day or two to scout their opposition. The full fixture list can be viewed by clicking here. Let’s see what the draw has thrown up…
Last week’s top-scorer, Gullikhul, might not have as easy a passage into the next round this time, as he comes up against a very evenly-matched challenger in Gorby. Sitting one point overall more than Gullikhul, he will surely fancy his chances of showing him the door for an immediate exit.
The lottery has handed our former tournament winners some favourable ties, with Jonty facing a side, Duggans Dreamteam, over 40k places below him in the standings. Gooner dave has it even easier, coming up against DaFoe22, who sits just outside the top 600k. As for Ninja_fit_saints, his opponent 369 mofo has only been in existence for seven weeks, and will do well to break the top two million this season.
The main man himself, Mark, finds himself in the tie of the round against cup reglar McEwan. Having knocked me out last season, McEwan will be confident of taking the ultimate scalp. And, sitting 2,434th in the world, he is probably favourite to do just that.
Elsewhere for the Scouts, greek fan takes on top 100k in the world mvtaylor.
The highest ranked fantasy manager in the competition, bobbyg, has a potentially tricky tie against huma. Despite sitting 2,503,619th overall, his five week old team contains a lot of recent success stories, so form is on his side.
Good luck to everyone in the second round, and I’ll bring you the results a couple of days after Gameweek 14 has come to an end.
