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.

    Hi lads and ladies..

    I'm in a real conundrum with captain choice..

    Ade - am guaranteed he will get couple of tap in goals here and there as always up front..

    Bale - great player but can easily can have a quiet game and get a measly 2 for each game..

    What u guys think? And who you captaining?

      I initially was going to (C) ade.

      However upon reflection.....im thinking of switching......my reasons;

      1. Tott - 2 x CS quite possible. F do not enjoy points for CS.
      2. With Lennon out, Bale certian for 180 mins
      3. With Defoe back Ade may not play 180

      Depending on your selling price for Enrique, I'd maybe do Enrique to Baines. If Baines too much, maybe upgrade Smalling to Jones. Generally, a really good team. Most of your front eight are the same as mine.

        No worries RCA, I'm pretty undecided what is best fixture wise.

        However, WCing tomorrow gives me two weeks of tinkering, catches the price rises and cover against cup injuries.

        So frustrated with FPL, I think it's time to mix it a bit with players like Dempsey.

        scrapped, discarded, destroyed, kicked, spat on

        This week was another dire week for cleanies, but I can see City tightening up with their good fixtures and along with Pool and Utd, they probably offer the best source of cleanies home and away.

        Cheap cleanies are not there any more. Newcastle are unpredictable and Swansea are decent at home, but that's it.

        A balanced team is definitely the way to go I think as opposed to a top heavy one.

      Don't sell RVP.

      Silva/Nani > Bale

      Ba/Sturridge > Ade

        I'll get RvP back with the wildcard within the next couple of weeks, as I don't want to remove Silva or Nani from my squad - I'll only get 10.0m and 10.2m for them both :/

    If he wasn't a rich darts player she wouldn't look twice at him.

    Evans -> Warnock worth a 4pt hit?

    Only back up I have is McAuley who will more than likely only get 1 this week..

      Speaking from bad experiences, a 4 point hit for a defender is not really worth it. Let's say Warnock gets 6 points in total with a CS, your transfer has only gained a benefit of 1 point if McAuley gets 1. Also you'll probably be wanting Evans back very soon and McAuley has a really good fixture next gameweek.

    shotton - may not start
    wilkinson - injured
    walters - doubt
    nani - awful v blackburn may be rotated?
    sturridge - doubt
    rvp - potentially rested

    at this rate the only players I will have playing is my dgw players
