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.

    Perhaps late to the party, but the BPs in the Spurs game are slightly baffling.

    BAE has the best defensive stats, an assist, and yet he's the only Spurs defender to get nothing, and his PPI is much worse than the others. Only one shot off target too, the same as Agger who got a BP for his assist (and that was in a game where there were 3 goalscorers).

    This move for many may only be a 1-3 week play, it's certainly something to consider that all 3 have very favorable fixture runs
