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.

      your rival captained Dempsey away to Bolton?

      Fair play to him, he has big balls.

      Play bale and if he doesn't start moses isn't too bad to come on

          Well thats makes its all better then. Verm coulda easily scored yesterday and I think will provide the points going forward. Bale has slightly come off the boil while Sig looks like he could score at any given time. Having both is causing be benching headaches and I'm still not sure which one to start.

    Morning all,
    Bale to Walcott?
    Can't help but feel I'm going to get this one wrong.
    Bale could be fine, Walcott could be given a rest against Wolves with the Ox and Gervinho pushing for a start.

    1. Grounderz

      Bale to Walcott seems decent, given both fixtures weigh the same so it's easy to predict between these two. However, Bale has been labelled as doubtful so, again, there's the advantage to swap him out for another player. But then again, he might play and that free transfer could have been used elsewhere.

      that's really a big question mark 🙁 Could be a great move, but also backfire big time. That's what FPL is all about. I might make the move as I would hate Bale not playing and having only McClean to come on.

      It depends on your objective. My objective is to beat my opponent in the league and he's surely going to captain Van Persie simply there's no any other candidate who fits the armband.

      All in all, I think giving it to Cisse is better. He might grab a hat-trick with that momentum.

    Captaining Cisse as all my main rivals have him and probably (c) him. Interestingly, my ML rivals don't have RvP (but they have Ade, Torres etc) so I thought to mitigate the risk of Cisse going mental, it's safer to (c) him.

          Yeah it's risky, could be worth it though with Yaya almost certainly out.

    Captain Cisse or RVP?

    The armband has been on Cisse for the last day or two, but starting to change my mind. Anyone convince me either way?

      I am in the same boat. RVP is due a couple of goals and will be hungry , but Cisse is a machine at the moment.

      Siggy, Valencia, Sess. Barfa is a good option if you have enough gw34 players.

      You could captain Aguero. With Balotelli banned he should get some good minutes against WBA.
