With the Paddy Paddy Cup V sewn up last week by sleepingmaster, we now turn our attention to it’s sister competition, the Members Paddy Power Cup II. Over 900 Fantasy Football Scout members signed up, with hopes of qualifying for the first round of 512. As expected, the standard was very high, and the qualifying mark was set at a lofty 82 points for Gameweek 24.

That put 494 in the hat for round one, and forced 41 fantasy managers to rely on their overall rank to earn one of the remaining 17 spots. The list of all qualifiers can be viewed right here.

On to the first round draw then, which has been made and can be viewed right here. All 256 fixtures will be played over the upcoming Gameweek 25, and the result will follow shortly afterwards.

Our reigning champ, Kippax Kikkers (formerly Kippax Kolggers), is up against leekota, as he looks to defend his title.

Elsewhere, plenty of Scouts (not me) are in the mix – Mark takes on Shimmy, G-G-Granville has drawn Shehzu, Andy will square up to Lucas that is all, it’s Big Dunc Vs. ChrisHighwind, Pure Olivia is up against djembe, Anorak‘s been paired with Primprong, and Jonty will play johnd.

The prize? Well, once again sponsors Paddy Power are supplying the competition with some great prizes and we’re supplementing these with Amazon Vouchers. The prizes break down as follows:

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

Remember, to claim a prize you will need a Paddy Power account and be aged 18 and over to be eligible. Prizes are also subject to Paddy Power’s terms and conditions.

If you’ve yet to register a Paddy Power account, then you can sign up via this site and get a free £20 when you register and bet £10.

Finally, if you set up an account and are going to bet with Paddy Power, always gamble responsibly.

    Is it only me that has a feeling Ba might not deliver in 3 of the next 4 games against Tottenham and Arsenal away, and possibly against a strong Sunderland side at home?

    I've got Kelly, Taylor, Taiwo and Simpson at the back, and also Jose Enrique, who I could take out for a defender less than 4.7m in value and have an extremely weak defence to accomodate Ba though? Who else is decent for so cheap at the back?

      I'm thinking Cisse will have a big influence on Ba's points. I reckon he's more likely to score... being pushed further forward. So, I'm not jumping on the Ba-ndwagon myself.

    Evening folks,

    I'm in a touch of a quandry this eveining. I'm off to (hopefully) sunny Spain for a few days of golf, drink and general merriment, in the morning so need to finalise my team post haste. My dilemma is should I ditch Walters for the GYLF? Obvious answer is yes, but my problem them becomes who do I bench and secondly is my defence strong enough. Team is at present:-

    Krul
    Naylor Richards Evans
    Silva Bale Dempsey McClean
    RVP Ba Dzeko

    Lindy Santon Skrtel Walters

    Should I:-

    a.) Do the Walters to Gylfi switch (and if so who do I bench from the front 8?)
    b.) Change Skrtel to Kompany (which I intended doing 2/3 weeks ago, but didn't for obvious reasons)
    c.) Hold transfer and play above team
    d.) Something different to above (please wow me!)

    Thanks in anticipation 🙂

      If you really want Siggy then go for it. If you do I would bench Valenica before Ba.

    Mig
    Evans – Richards – Kelly
    Demps – Val – McClean (Siggy?) – Silva – Bale
    RVP – Aguero

    Krul – Ba – McAuley – Simpson

    Pondering McClean > Siggy as I have no pressing concerns and see Siggy outscoring him in the next period of games. Could always save the transfer, but barring injuries I don’t really have any concerns next week, either.

    Evening all, anyone know how to get reliable news on whether injured players have made a return to training? Are there any blogs from people attending training sessions who will have reliable insight? The articles returned by Google really lack for the latest information.

    I've started following VDV on Twitter (prior to the Liverpool) game and there wasn't a peep from him about not making the game, or even being back in training. I can understand if the player's club doesn't want him tweeting about club matters, but other players (Barton?) seem to.

    I think this is an area where The Scout could focus on. Not reliable team news (no-one knows that), but details on which players are back in training. It seems a bit hit and miss.

    Any recommendations? (... and yes, don't know why I still have VDV!! :))

            I can't see many blogs being created to provide inaccurate information. Much more likely to get posts on the forum aledging certain things, or as we experienced with Van Persie last week, managers throwing up smoke screens.

    Through in the cup but going to come down to captain choices potentially.

    Krul, Lindegaard
    Richards, J Evans, Kelly, Taiwo, Huth
    Dempsey, Silva, Bale, Sess, Valencia
    RVP, Dzeko, Ba

    Opponent

    Krul, Mingolet
    Richards, J Evans, Taiwo, Kompany, Simpson
    Dempsey, Silva, Bale, Sess, Valencia
    RVP, Ba, Graham

    Although guessing a lot of matches will be similar.

      Least you have Dzeko over Graham, so I'd say you should get more points there (I'd hope so since I have him too).

      Agree at how it's down to captaincy this week, which is why I'm more nervous for this week seeing as there's not really an outright, obvious captain choice.

      I'd swaying between Bale and RVP for me, would be Demps but don't have him/

    Team this week

    Vorm

    Taiwo Kompany Senderos

    Dempsey(c) Valencia Silva Bale

    Dzeko RVP Ba

    Subs: Mig......Sess, Cahill, Santon

    might do Sess > Siggy tomorrow if sess is injured. Kind of want him for the next 3 anyway.

      If Dempsey is a differential in your league and you're in a good position, RVP. If you need to make up some ground, Dempsey may just be your man. Sunderland's 120mins has effected my view. Probably shouldn't, but it does.

      He f"cked up Stoke last year and it's a reasonably good fixture given Stoke's current away form. There's a chance he could get more points and that's what the game is all about

        Cheers guys! I feel very welcome. I have RVP, Aguero, Bale, Silva and Dempsey as potential captain options.

        Leaning towards Demps as I took the armband off him at the last minute when he bagged his hatrick.

          Dempsey is your best bet there. Its between him and RVP but the differential makes Dempsey a good option
