The sixth run of the Paddy Power Cup enters Gameweek 35 with just 16 Fantasy managers left in the hunt. Having successfully navigated Round Five (results right here), the Last 16 draw has been made and the eight fixtures are as follows…

1 Bubba Fett Vs. Sarnab-Wazzagoal
2 Optimus Vs. SiggySongOxSessDemps
3 stumanchuu Vs. DestroyersofWorlds
4 mch Vs. jamie1974
5 fredwestham Vs. ajay_kl
6 DrD Vs. Mowgli
7 dannn Vs. Sporting Abeergut
8 Fitzuation Vs. Rickys Army

Having eliminated the 29th ranked fuml_akimbo in the fifth round, fredwestham has his reward with a plum tie against the lowest ranked manager left in the competition – 62,699th placed ajay_kl.

It’s now jamie1974 that takes the mantle as the highest-ranked contender in the tournament. The 702nd placed fantasy manager is in the tie of the round as well, matched up against mch, who finished the Members Paddy Power Cup II in third place.

Good luck to the final 16 fantasy managers competing in the Paddy Power Cup VI. I’ll bring you the results shortly after the Gameweek 35 fixtures have been decided.

          Yes mate.

          I bit the bullet and brought aguero in last night for Rooney. Risk. I know.

          I was going to sell Wayne next week anyway for ade, so took the plunge week earlier.

          You?

            Still weighing it up tbh

            Contemplating Rooney > Aguero too but this is purely to cover rival who is chasing.

            He has now taken a -12pt taking my lead to 89pts

            This has sort of swayed me to keeping Rooney as my lead is looking "almost" secure.

            Question is, can i risk no city cover?????

                  I'm changed my thinking not to the hit, or losing a free trade for next week but.. What would it buy me.

                  Answer. A damn good captain choice aka double points 😀

                  The choice then was clear.

        Contemplating this too but cant help but feel that Rooney is good value this week.

        For me its Rooney > Aguero VS banking a transfer and gaining an extra DGW'er

        Very close call imo

          Exactly my thoughts there. An extra DGWer could prove mighty handy. But Aguero could as well. Ah. Darn these City feckers 🙁

          That's was kinda my call.... I went for a city (c), not sure Rooney is capt material this week.

          Other options were Dempsey against an upbeat Wigan, or Siggy at Bolton.

          Neither a that primed for the job like a tevez or aguero.

        It's really melting my head. I'm worried city go mental and I lose out.

          It was mine zlatan, in the end I took the plunge... Last night with aguero.

          50 pt mini lge lead, and rivals all 3 will go city. Can't face having no cover v theirs.

          I was due too offload Rooney gw36 anyway.

          For what its worth Zlatan i got Aguero in for him, daunting debut for Wolves keeper behind the worst defence in the league against a side who have scored 10 in their last 2 matches so could be a massacre.

      Don't reckon this City hype will pay dividends, can see Mancini rotating if they get a lead.

      Thanks, guys. My thinking seems to be most in line with Syd, but all good choices and in the mix for me.

      Walcott > Demps looks good especially as Demps has a DGW

      Not convinced by RVP > Aguero - for this week maybe, thereafter i would expect RVP to outscore Aguero

    A guy in the pub just said, "I bet you £50 you can't name the last team to keep a clean sheet at the Nou Camp".

    "You're on," I said shaking his hand..... "It was Barcelona."
