With the dust finally settled from Gameweek 29, we can now reflect on how our remaining 16 fantasy managers in the Members Paddy Power Cup II came through their fifth round tie, and how they now pair off in the Last 16.
The full list of the 16 results can be viewed right here, which includes defeats for what were the top two-ranked contenders in the competition. Bob Fossil tasted a 52 – 45 defeat at the hands of Fuzzy Dunlop, and Daveclark85 succumbed 58 – 42 to howie_c.
That now makes 1,543rd in the world KevIRL our ‘favourite’ (which almost certainly signals imminent elimination). He’ll face Bend It Like Bennett in the sixth round.
Here are the eight fixtures that make up the Last 16…
| 1 | Bend It Like Bennett | Vs. | KevIRL |
| 2 | Sleep Talk | Vs. | mch |
| 3 | Back to Back Ballacks | Vs. | Fuzzy Dunlop |
| 4 | Pablod | Vs. | conor2me |
| 5 | howie_c | Vs. | rocket science |
| 6 | petergriff | Vs. | BilboBaggins |
| 7 | Louie1 | Vs. | followthehearts |
| 8 | The Lord | Vs. | kno |
Only two of the remaining Fantasy managers are ranked outside the top 30,000 and the luck of the draw has paired them together. Rank-outsider Padlod sits 100,096th overall, and has pulled out the best draw he could have hoped for in the 36,049th in the world, conor2me.
All fixtures to be played across Gameweek 30. Good luck to all involved!
