The draw for the third round of the Paddy Power Cup V has been made and can be viewed right here. All 128 fixtures will play out over the upcoming Gameweek 15, and here are a few ties of note…

The reigning champ, Ninja_Fit_Saints, has to overcome an opponent over 100 points ahead in the overall standings. The.Special.One will go into the match-up a clear favourite to knock out the champ. On the other hand, our only other previous winner in the competition, Jonty, faces a low-ranked, trigger-happy opponent in 66irons.

Last week’s top-scorer has drawn EasyLuckyFree, a fantasy manager that sits over 100k places better off than elfortu, who now looks set to take a similar route to round one’s top-scorer. Elimination.

Mark is still going strong but finds himself up against Domo this week, who holds a slender one-point advantage over the Head Scout. With draws settled on overall standings, domo is effectively half a point ahead already.

The one competitor who will be ruing his luck is Lestat, who has the misfortune of being paired off against 50th in the world, bobbyg.

We’re yet to see a fully-fledged glamour tie so far in this season’s tournament, but there are still plenty of ‘big’ names battling away in the hope of seeing their names up in lights. The likes of denial, applebonkers, Lad V, EpicFAIL, Der-Hammer95 and Hillbillypete to name but a few, are still in the mix at this stage.

I wish good luck to all 256 participants and I’ll bring you the results shortly after Gameweek 15 has concluded.

    I'm having sub decision woes. My current team looks like this:

    Vorm
    Walker - JEnrique - Jones - Vermaelan
    Eagles - Nani(c) - Bale - Silva
    RVP(v) - Adebayor

    Krul || Sturridge - RTaylor - Ferguson

    Who would YOU play/sub? What are your reasons for doing so?

      I'm tempted to play Sturridge instead of Adebayor due to the favourable attacking fixture.

        Personally I would bench Walker and play Sturridge/Ade/Eagles.

    Opinions on bench order (captain choice I may change to RVP but think it might be tight enough game against Everton).

    Vorm
    Shawx, Raylor, Naylor
    Nani (c), Bale, Ramsey Sess,
    Rooney, RVP, Ba

    Krul, Walters, Brown, Jagielka

      I'd play Walters ahead of Ramsay and Brown ahead of Shawx.

        It's a good point in fairness, I think I'm just scared of Ramsey having a mega week, but Walters has his penalty threat.

        I benched Shawx last weekend and he got 8points (aswell as Krul screwing me) so second guessing all of the above at the moment!
