Just a quick reminder to those competing in the Paddy Power Cup V – Round of 16 that the Quarter-Finals will take place over Gameweek 21, and not Gameweek 20, the deadline for which is tomorrow.

The Last 16 results will be published later in the week, along with the all-important Quarter-Final fixtures.

    Lost on last post. Absolutely kicking myself after missing the deadline this week, and I got rightly punished with my score this week. With 2 free trades and 1.6 in the bank, I think I need to make a few trades. I’m thinking along the lines of Evans->Hibbert and Brown->Assou-Ekotto. Thoughts? Team is as follows:

    Vorm
    Evans Enrique Brown
    Moses Bale Silva Nani
    RVP Ba Adebayor
    SUBS: Krul Brunt Simpson Tierney

      I like those two transfers you outlined.

      The defence will be solid.
      The midfielders and forwards is looking good for a big score this GW

      Do you think Pilkington will start this GW.

    The DGW is doing my head in! I want to get either Osman or Hibbert into my side, but I can't do it without stuffing up my whole team. I'm just gonna take a risk and get Drenthe in, hoping that he at least will play against Bolton.

    Selected risers:

    selected fallers:
    Silva, J Evans, Mata, Klasnic, Ledley King, Paul Robinson

    Few surprises in the fallers section IMO. Particularly Silva and Mata. A few quiet weeks and they're being shipped out, although the DGW probably forced many peoples hands. No surprises in the risers column however.

          Not sure how everyone team is going to line up with Donovan there now, osman may play deeper! What about rodwell, cheaper option

      I wouldn't. Both should do okay in their first match but i'd only expect Osman to score 2 points against Spurs.

    Ba, Vermaelen, Mata out
    Ade, Walker, Osman in -4. Happy with the choices (already had Bale and Drenthe) 🙂

        I had to take a hit for Osman to fund the other two, I wouldn't if I was you.

    Who should I bench out of Sturridge, Mata, Nani & Moses? I have a feeling Mata or Sturridge may be rested against Wolves.

      Studge is apparently facing a late fitness test if that helps.

        That does help. Think I'll bench Sturridge. Thanks for the tip off!

    How's my team looking guys?

    Vorm
    P Jones | BAE | Jose Enrique
    Nani | Silva | Bale (C) | Drenthe
    RVP | Adebayor (VC) | Sturridge

    Subs: Krul | Walters | Simpson | McAuley

    Fingers crossed my punt on Drenthe pays off. 😐

      Very good. Drenthe is a bit of a worry.

      Krul for me, and Adebayor captain, imo.
