A few weeks back, over 2200 registered and now we are down to the last 16 of the Paddy Power Cup V. They’ve come through seven stages and are two victories away from playing for a prize. The draw for the next round has been and looks a lot like this…
| 1 | Raasclart | Vs. | Mr Bungle |
| 2 | menders | Vs. | CSKA AWFUL |
| 3 | Natt | Vs. | Declan |
| 4 | Der-Hammer95 | Vs. | Sc8tt26 |
| 5 | soulman27 | Vs. | runty |
| 6 | ChickenDevil | Vs. | Timmy Loving |
| 7 | VereWinner | Vs. | sleepingmaster |
| 8 | Bruce Baer | Vs. | Funkyav |
Top-seed, and 181st in the world, Der-Hammer95 has a tough assignment against 1,241st overall Sc8tt26. Of course at this stage of the competition there’s no easy games. In fact, there are only two teams with less than 1,000 points.
As luck would have it, those two Fantasy managers yet to hit four-digits have been matched together. 250k in the world VereWinner takes on 127k in the world sleepingmaster.
Last week’s top-scorer, Mr Bungle, once again finds himself as the away team in the first fixture of the round. There’s obviously no disadvantage to coming out of the hat second, and Mr Bungle actually has the effective lead going into his game with Raasclart. The 83 points between them means the ‘visitors’ will go through with a draw.
All ties will be played over the upcoming Gameweek 19, good luck to all!
Please note – with such a short turnaround from Gameweek 19 to Gameweek 20, we’ve made the decision to postpone the Quarter-Finals until Gameweek 21. This will ensure that the draw can be made and published well in advance of any deadline – it will also remove the double gameweek fixtures as a factor and bring the January wildcard into play for the last eight.
