After an eleven-week marathon, sleepingmaster lifted the coveted Paddy Power Cup V after a 81 – 60 victory over Funkyav. He adds his name to the growing list of former champions, which now reads… donnellyc, Jonty, Gooner dave, Ninja_Fit_Saints and sleepingmaster.

His 21-point annihilation of finalist Funkyav, came courtesy of an inspired 30-point captain’s haul from Gareth Bale. Also helping was the other nine bonus points, two goals, two assists, and clean sheet from the rest of his squad. Despite owning Bale and accruing an impressive four clean sheets, Funkyav was let down by the rest of his attacking outfit, including a rare poor return from captain Robin van Persie.

Sleepingmaster finishes the tournament in a healthy and slightly modest 36,691st overall, pockets the top prize, and will return in Gameweek 29 to defend his crown.

Here is a breakdown of all the winners from the Paddy Power Cup V…

  • Winner: sleepingmaster – £150 worth of free bets. £50 Amazon Voucher
  • Runner-up: Funkyav – £75 worth of free bets. £30 Amazon Voucher
  • 3rd Place: ChickenDevil – £50 worth of free bets. £20 Amazon Voucher

I’m sure you’ll all join me in congratulating our three prize winners for their fine efforts.

Finally, thank you to everyone who submitted an entry for the competition, and to SUPERIOR BEING, Mark and Ed for helping me out behinds the scenes to make the competition possible.

Finally, a reminder to all our Members that registration to the Members Paddy Power Cup is still open, with Gameweek 24 acting as the qualifying round. Members must enter their username and FPL id’s to be included in the qualifying.

          I'm playing JEvans, but only because its between him and Kelly! Quietly confident that Man U might just keep a cleanie at the Bridge though.

        got a gut feeling for aguero this weekend, fulhams defence is awful and could be on the end of a backlash after the everton game. anyway, an opinion is like an @rsehole, everybody has one. so thank you for your input.

      god no..taiwo was absolutely dreadful v villa. He was being exposed all over, could even be dropped this gw because he is obviously lacking fitness after only playing 4 times for milan.

      Went to a qpr forum and everyone there agreed taiwo was the weak link and was the reason villa got back into the game

          Their systems seem to have fallen over part through updating the price rises overnight. If you look at the transfers page and sort by "all players" and "price rise(round)", it's not showing all the risers. Also take RVP for instance, his price shows as 13.3 but if you click on the "i" button it shows 13.2.

          Been like it all day 🙁

          Trouble in the fact that the Transfers(In) and Transfers(Out) Stats have stayed constant all day. And the players who rose last night still have their old prices when you hit the [i] button (RVP, BAE for example). FISO and TFPL are still running their regular updates, but if FPL is not updating then there's nothing new for them to say - so we're all price-change blind at the moment.

      It's better to be one week late to the bandwagon than 2/3 weeks early.

      I'm waiting til after the spurs game if I can, once his flag goes that will stop him rising astronmically in price. Some goals from cisse may also make people think twice.

      I'm waiting until GW26. Reckon Zamora or Gerbil offer better prospects over the short term.

      Thanks for the replies. I didn't know the weather might be an issue tomorrow. I'd also very much like to play Odemwingie for another week (pathetic, i know).

      If you can afford Bent I'd be looking at Dzeko myself!

          Well I'd avoid Bent. Villa away at Toon then home to City after. I've gone for Cisse (QPR) myself. Reckon he'll play off Zamora in the forward role.
