Members Paddy Power Cup II – The Grand Final

After nine gruelling stages, Gameweek 33 will see the conclusion of the Members Paddy Power Cup II. We started with over 900 Fantasy managers and we are now down to just two, going head-to-head to scribe their name underneath our former champ, Kippax Kloggers.

Here’s how the Semi-Finals played out…

1The Lord64–54mch
2Pablod45–45*Fuzzy Dunlop

Despite a Mario Balotelli red card, The Lord breezed past mch to book his place in the final, with Clint Dempsey and Juan Mata doing most of the damage.

In the second Semi-Final, Pablod‘s eight-point hit brought the tie all-square, meaning that Fuzzy Dunlop‘s vastly superior overall rank saw him progress.

The Grand Final

The Lord Vs. Fuzzy Dunlop

3rd Place Play-Off

Here’s a reminder of what is at stake…

  • 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

I’m sure you’ll all join me in wishing the four Fantasy managers involved in this final stage the best of luck. May the best man win!

    Who would you play in goals?

    Schwarzer (CHE) or MIngolet (eve)

    Other option is to use my free transfer and bring in Freidel

    But i think im gonna use that on Dyer > Sigg

      Schwarzer, but both will probably get 2 or 3.
      Probably no point wasting the free for a keeper when they will have a blank the week after.

    Anyone else tempted to have 5 DGWers in their front 7 for GW36? I really am, but it means benching one of RVP (sto), Sess (BOL) or Siggy (WOL), which is probably enough reason to settle with 4 attacking DGWers. Thoughts?

          I haven't got Sess out of those. I've got Valancia and I'll probably bench him, or possibly Siggy. I'll decide when the time comes, but it's between them 2.

            I'll have Valencia too - he is nailed on as my sub for GW36. Question is whether Bale/Mata/VDV is worth a 4 pointer to play them over Sess or Siggy?

    Just a word on rotation and the DGW36, for those planning to bring in TOT, CHE, LIV or EVE players.

    The two winners of the FA Cup Semi-Finals will be playing in the FA Cup Final 4 days (LIV or EVE) or 3 days (TOT or CHE) after their second game of the DGW36.

    Although there is still 4th to play for, I would not bring in any players involved in the FA Cup Final for DGW36.

    Incase Bale doesnt play, what would you preferred bench order be out of Shotton. Holt and Caulker?

      I'd agree with them. Simpson is my first sub with McClean second.

      I know Rafael has started the last few games, but Phil Jones could very well come in for him against Wigan. Too much of a risk IMO
