With over 1,400 entries received, Gameweek 29 has whittled down the first round participants of the Paddy Power Cup VI to just 512. A qualifying score of 56 was required to guarantee a first round berth alongside our five former champions. For those scoring 55 you need to click here for the full results, and nervously scroll down towards the 500 mark.
On with the draw then, and the full set of 256 fixtures can be viewed right here.
The former cup winners are always the ones to watch – especially the defending champion – and it’s Tommyboy that is charged with the giant-killing of Paddy Power Cup V winner sleepingmaster.
Before sleepingmaster it was Ninja_Fit_Saints who wore the crown, and he’s involved in what is arguably the tie of the round against Marvellus.
Our inaugural winner, donnellyc, is now making his fifth attempt at regaining his title. His first hurdle this time round is jon13597493.
Now on the books with the Scout, Paddy Power Cup II winner Jonty closed the 2009/10 season on the ultimate high. He’s once again looking to reach those heights, and it’s Mull standing in his way.
Perhaps the biggest name of them all though is Gooner dave. Not only did he win the third edition of this competition, but he threatened to lift the Members version several weeks later. Looking to stop the juggernaut immediately in his tracks is ralphypne.
All ties are to be played across Gameweek 30. Good luck to all 512 fantasy managers competing in round one, and commiserations to those missing the cut on this occasion.
