With the potential point-bonanza of Gameweek 36 upon us, the Paddy Power Cup VI enters the Quarter-Final stage. Here’s how the sixth round panned out, giving us our final eight…

1Bubba Fett50–64Sarnab-Wazzagoal
2Optimus52–46SiggySongOxSessDemps

8Fitzuation42–45Rickys Army

The highest-ranked fantasy managers going in to the Last Sixteen was jamie1974, but his opponent mch wasn’t fazed one bit. He notched the top-score of the round to dismiss the favourite 75 – 55.

That makes 1,527th ranked DrD the new favourite, who enters the Quarter-Final stage after narrowly beating Mowgli 52 – 50. Let’s see who he now faces…

Good luck to our eight Quarter-Finalists! I’ll post the results shortly after the double Gameweek has concluded.

    Are Adebayor owners planning on keeping him? I have Walcott priority to get rid of so it would mean a hit to get rid of him for either Cisse or Jellyfish.

    I have no Newcastle or Everton coverage so I guess Pien or Barfa are the best replacement right?

    Where is the article for Chelsea?!

    Can afford Lampard – alongside Dempsey Siggy Ben Arfa and VDV – or is Ramires more likely to play both games.

    Or is Terry in defence a better bet alongside Hibbert and Verm?

    Here's a challenge for you to work on for a Friday.

    11 pts behind ML leader with a WC still to play and the following team

    Given/Ruddy
    Kompany/Evans/Enrique/Simpson/Kelly
    Bale/Walcott/Valencia/Silva/Ferguson
    Rooney/Cisse/Suarez

    The ML leader's likely team is (guessing that Tevez will be replaced by Jelavic)

    BOGDAN
    SIMPSON/HIBBERT/Evans
    BALE/DEMPSEY/BARFA/PIENAAR/PETROV
    CISSE/JELAVIC

    How would I get back the 11 point deficit?

      VDV instead of bale or play both VDV and bale, bring in walker and jags, dont think suarez is going to play both league games so bring in jelavic and then make the right captain choice. VDV, Cisse. Jelavic top 3 captain choices, the (C) choice should then decide who wins.

        there doesant seem to be a nailed on starter for chelsea defense, any of them could be rotated with the fixtures and both eve and tot only have league to play for. plus i think newcastle will do well against chelsea with their goal threat and QPR could score as well. Tot and Eve the top 2 teams for defensive returns me thinks.

    Hello All.

    Need some advice (More approval than advice). Should have asked earlier but I guess it's too late.

    I am leading my ML by 16(-4) = 12 points.

    I did the following transfers

    Turner --> Hibbert (Free)
    Fletcher ---> Jelavic (-4)

    Team:
    Krul (Vorm)
    Hibbert Ream Caulker (McAuley, Evans J)
    Dempsey Ben Arfa Sigurdsson Bale(v) (Nani)
    Jelavic(c), Tevez,Rooney

    What do you guys think? Should I take another hit and do Tevez -> Cisse? I don't really think I should as Cisse has kaka fixtures in 37 and 38 plus wigan and chelsea look on form.

      A: because thats an extra game and pienaar is on goalscoring form, sunderlands season is over i expect mediocre results from now on in. But everton always seem to finish strongly and they could get a uefa spot if they win all their games.

      Also if your ever going to take a hit then this is the week to do it imo.

      I have gone for HBA, so Pienaar is probably the better choice

    Chasing a 60-odd point defecit in my money league- guy above has done 2 (free) transfers so I'm guessing he now has 5 DGWers against my 6. I'm planning to take a -4 to do Sess to Bale or vDv and Rooney or RVP to Jelevic. My questions are:
    Should I take a -8 to get 9 DGW players? Would probably take Kompany out for a Chelsea defender or Valencia out for vDv or Bale to give me both..
    If I don't take a -8 as above, should I get vDv or Bale? Minileague leader has Bale so I'm leaning towards vDv..
    Get rid of Rooney or RVP for Jelevic? If I lose Rooney and Valencia it woudl leave me with just Johnny Evans for Man U coverage..

    Sorry for the long read, appreciate any responses! Cheers

    A) hibbert/vdv (4pt hit and sell valencia)
    B) walker/mcclean (no hit and bench valencia)

    I'm thinking B right?

    The one player I don't want to do well this week is Terry. Been umming and aaahing over doing Turner -> Terry for a hit, and I think I've decided to stick with Turner. Another red please John.

    Is it worth taking another 4 point hit on getting rid of BAE and bringing in Walker/Cahill? Or should I just let Verm come in from the bench? (already taken 8pt hit this week….)

    Vorm
    Huth BAE Simpson
    Dempsey Sigurdson McClean Bale
    Cisse Jelavic Rooney

    (Ruddy Valencia Verm JEvans)

    Thanks..

      Rarely take a hit for a defender, Verm is a striker anyway these days, Verm of the bench 🙂
