With the bumper Gameweek 36 decided on Wednesday night, and finalised with bonus points on Thursday, we are down to just four Fantasy managers chasing glory in the Paddy Power Cup VI.

As you would expect, we had monster scores all round in the Quarter-Finals, with dannn‘s respectable 85 nowhere near the grade…

1DrD101–94Sarnab-Wazzagoal
2Rickys Army106–110ajay_kl
3mch103–85dannn
4stumanchuu93–111Optimus

It looked like all four ties would go as expected, with the highest-ranked side in each all notching centuries. However, rank outsider ajay_kl upset the apple cart and produced a brilliant 110 to eliminate Rickys Army by just four points (effectively three considering their respective overall ranks).

On to the Semis then, where only one of our final four will go home empty-handed…

      I do not know about Maloney but may well get him next week for the very reasons you state and, apparently, he plays just behind the striker.

      2. Ken has lost.

    Last week gave me some pleasant returns but I'm having a real mare selecting my strike force for this GW. Any opinions which is the best trans out.

    Vorm
    Enrigue, McAuley, Walker
    Valencia, VDV, Pienaar, Ben Arfa
    Tevez, Cisse, Jelly
    subs
    Siggy, Stanton, Evans, Rubby

    Thinking Tevez or Cisse > Rooney.

    My problem is I can see city scoring at least twice, but after his performance at Chelsea, Cisse will get on the score sheet, he has scored 7 goals at home so far. Tevez has better GW38 - QPR @ home. Any ideas?

      Tevez usually just plays 60mins or so, that should come into your thinking

    Kaboul or walker, walker could be a doubt next gw plus i have a strange feeling Kaboul going to score this week (I no only 1 goal all season but just have that feeling)

    All J Evan owners.

    Before you take a hit to replace him just remember He is a doubt but he was never ruled out. On utds web site hes classed as unlikely to be fit in time
