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.

    How important do we feel it is to have Everton coverage?

    I'm about to do Richards > BAE leaving 1.7 in the bank with which I intend to upgrade Drenthe, was thinking Osman but with one of the fixtures being at Spurs is it really that essential?

    Sessegnon at Wigan is quite appealing...

      Jags needs to do +4 on Enrique or Brown for it to be worthwhile. I would say odds are you are going to get 2 from your current choice and I think Jags might look something like 5+2... +1 says to make the trade. It's close though!

    Looking for news on drendthe myself , trawling the net but nothing! Im gonna gamble and put him in. My transfers ive decided on and im doing the unthinkable.. RVP out!!! + Sinclair for VDV and Berbs. I only lose 300k on RVP which makes it easier and slight concern hell be on bench. If he doesnt play he might get some transfers out and i'd just lose 200k when i wildcard 🙂

        Yeah I'm leaning that way myself. Just have an irrational doubt that BAE will get rested for Rose on Tuesday.

      Spurs is the better option by far.
