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.

    My team is cutting up badly. In bold are doubts/are definitely out/don't play.

    Vorm (Ruddy)
    EVANS/VERM/BROWN/Enrique/Simpson
    ETHERS/Silva/Nani/Bale/FERGUSON
    Ba/Rvp/Ade

    Suggestions:

    a: Verm > Baines & Enrique > BAE (4 pointer - this was my original plan until further doubts arose )
    b: Verm > Jags/Hibbert; Brown > BAE; Ethers > Osman (8 pointer)
    c: Just Verm > Jags/Hibbert & Brown > BAE (4 pointer).
    d: Another combo for 4 or 8 points.

    Cheers.

      Wouldn't sell Enrique as he's one of your only fit players.

    I've 3m in the bank. Logical move would be to move out Verm for Baines (even though I think Baines is overpriced).

    Would any of these moves be worth a hit:

    Wilkinson to Hibbert
    Walters to Valencia/Osman/Cahill

    Adebayor Sturridge RVP

    Subs: Sorensen, Walters, Enrique, Simpson

    A bit worried about doubling up on Swansea at the back in an away game so is it advisable to hedge my bets and play Sorensen even if he is against free scoring Blackburn. Also does my sub order look okay? I used my free transfer this week to get BAE in for Smalling, and will hope VDV does a hammy or something. Any Everton players worth getting in for a hit, personally can't see anyone i want to sell for another Evertonian.

      Larsson will play though won't he? If he does then that's a possible 2 points or more, so Osman would need to do something to justify the hit.

      It also then means you've got Osman in your team rather than Larsson, which isn't ideal.
