FFS Cup

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 Lord6454mch
2Pablod4545*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.

        I guess that is the likely answer. I still have no idea why he is not being transferred in with his fixtures and GW34 bonus. I reckon the Cisse bandwagon will crash today 🙂

    Morning all.

    I'm a little worried that my team is a little one sided. Too many man u, arsenal and Geordies.

    Krul,
    Simpson, Evans, verm,
    Young, Walcott, siggy, demps,
    Dave cisse, Rooney, Rvp

    Bench, migs, Cahill, mcclean.

    Have I got that right? Should I play Cahill instead of Simpson?

    Just realize that captain choice this week is SO pivotal in my league because the gap between the top 5 is so close.

    My heart is going with RVP.
    But i have this gut feeling that Cisse will score a hattrick.
