Paddy Power Cup V – The Semi-Final Results

As entry opens for the Members-only Paddy Power Cup VI, we’ve almost reached the final stage of it’s predecessor. Gameweek 22 saw four fantasy managers face off in the Semi-Finals of the Paddy Power Cup V. In case you missed the summary in this week’s ScoutCast, here is how the two ties panned out…

sleepingmaster 48 – 41 ChickenDevil

sleepingmaster advances to the Grand Final after a seven-point win over ChickenDevil. A late fight-back courtesy of Antonio Valencia’s 13-point haul wasn’t enough to close the gap after Stephane Sessegnon and, to a lesser degree, Ciaran Clark’s performances the day before.

Sitting 59,659th in the world, sleepingmaster advances as the underdog, but is safe in the knowledge that he’s already pocketed prizes worth over £100. ChickenDevil will have to settle for a Gameweek 23 3rd-place play-off to bag a prize.

Raasclart 26 – 37 Funkyav

Eleven points was the margin of victory for Funkyav over Raasclart, who has John Ruddy’s unlikely clean sheet against Chelsea to thank. With Funkyav backing a heavy Chelsea win, seeing as his team boasted the likes of Juan Mata and captain Daniel Sturridge, fortune was certainly on his side.

Congratulations to sleepingmaster and Funkyav for reaching the Grand Final! A preview article will follow…

              I've heard that he can cover LB, but yet to see this. He's far superior in the middle where he can see the game.

              He's only just back from injury too. And first choice is Santos and his silky defending skills.

    Vorm – Krul
    Santon – Senderos – Agger – Baines – Warnock
    Moses – Bale – Silva – Ben Arfa – Dempsey
    Aguero – RVP – Helguson

    With Senderos missing out in the FA Cup, yellow flags over Helguson and Bale, and poor fixtures for Santon and Moses, I could do with some help:

    I have 1FT and I was going to do Baines > Kompany, but the doubt over Helguson has me considering a swap for Robbie Keane.

    So:
    A) Keane for Helguson and play and play Baines, swap for Kompany next week.
    B) Keane for Helguson and bench Baines to play Agger, Senderos, Warnock, get Kompany next week.
    C) Kompany for Baines and play Moses vs Spurs, keep Helguson
    D) Do both transfers for a 4 point hit?

    Thanks

    Just came back from watching Arsenal - Villa first half.

    Classic Arsenal in the worst sense. Massive possession but not doing anything with it, camping outside the box but never getting chances in it, mainly hopeful long-range shots. Also classic Arsenal in the sense of the first goal coming from a set-piece routine (yep, Coquelin's flank...), and the second from a counter-attack.

    Villa have just packed their box with players and are daring us to try to break through. Invariably some defender manages to get in the way, then they break. They're parking the bus and hitting on the counter. To score, we need to start getting behind the defence because I don't think we managed that once in the first half. I think the best bet is to bring the wingers further forward and play them behind the defence with diagonal balls, then they can square it or cut inside. Right now, we're going nowhere.

        I'm not sure how much confidence I have in us even making a CL run. I don't think it's a healthy attitude to run a club with no promise of trophies, for what, seven years in a row. You cannot motivate people properly by playing for 3rd. But I was talking about this match... Wenger's improved us a lot in the second half - definite change of approach.

      Walcott scores from the wing after getting behind the defence - good to see you listening Wenger 😉

        I dunno, Walcott's goal came about because he got behind the defender on the flank - goals 1 and 3 were penalties down to nothing but awful tackling though.

      A guy here shit the bed, in Shay Given's sister's bed. I think that's what happened, he said the sheets were dirty. Either that or she has a BO problem.

    Warnock is such a poor defender. How did he ever beat Leighton Baines, or in fact, anyone, into the England squad?
