Some big names went tumbling out of the Fantasy Football Scout Paddy Power Cup VII last weekend. None more so than Granville, who was handed an early exit after losing narrowly to Lrf, while fellow Scout contributor and our man in charge of the Suspension Tightrope, Anorak, also tasted defeat – he lost out 53-76.

Mark remains in the hat for the Third Round after sailing through 57-37 last time out and former world number one Iyad Zahlan also progressed, winning his tie by a four-point margin.

The full list of results can be found be clicking this link.

We’re currently in the middle of sorting the draw for the Third Round and should have that with you for tomorrow morning.

        he plays s a wing back gainst the bigger teams or away from home, but ws used as a forward 3 in the latter stages - suso ws tken off nd sterling moved to the right, and enrique on the left wing. cant say it will stay like that though.

        He`s playing on the wing now. Rodgers has been experimenting with Johnson on LB and Enrique on LM. Gives enormous flexibility and defensive stability and tbh i have really enjoyed it and see no reason for him to revert while they`re performing well.

          Two questions - does he have a reasonable chance of staying in the front three?

          If he doesn't will he drop straight to the bench?

            I cant see Rodgers changing it up now tbh. The way its set up now our left side looks really strong, both defensively and offensively. And if he gets dropped, he`ll go back to LB and Wisdom will be the one to make way. But like i said, as long as we/he keeps doing well, i dont see any way he gets dropped from the team. We really dont have any other options either, i mean. Downing? Assaidi has yet to impress/reach full match fitness, so yeah.

    I know i need to improve my defence but i dont know how to get the funds to do it, i was thinking Mertesacker > Cuellar giving me 0.6 and then i could do Nelsen > Jones/Wisdom for a -4 and have 0.1/0.0 left which would sort my defence situation but dont really want to take a hit
    PLEASE HELP ME

    really confused. 0.1 could be integral to my plan on getting suarez rafael morrison in the coming few weeks.. to fund all this i need ruddy in for howard. ruddy is going to rise this week. howard is on my bench this week as baines is starting and im sick of doubling up and facing dissapointment. just feel a bit weird about a wednesday tranfer of howard to ruddy.. anyone care to convince me.. i could probably survive without that 0.1 but if im going to do it friday why not now. dont think ruddy will be my starting keeper anyway its simply for the price savings.

        baines to rafael is another option. think rafael is as likely to get points this week as baines and it is another eventual transfer that i will need.. problem is rafael wont is not rising tonight but ruddy is.. if rafael rises before friday it will end up not mattering whether i do rafael or ruddy... but it seems like rafael will rise after friday.. am i correct in assuming that?

      Ba scored last match, and is playing Southampton. Doesn't feel like the best time to pull the trigger. I think Berba is an excellent pick as, and I don't think playing with Rod or Petric will hamper his output much. He'll still be on pens.

      I got the same strikers as you and I'm thinking Ba to Tevez or Suarez after this GW is over.

        never bench a striker. especially one that can score out of nothing, and has every move running through him. he is also on pens.

        also i watched the qpr game vs stoke and stoke aint as watertight as they normally are at home. tarabt himself could have scored a hattrick

    Pondering Foster > Ruddy as a money-making exercise with the knowledge that he is the last remaining bargain keeper with any form. I could get Guzan or Federici (or someone of their ilk in the jan window) But I think Ruddy would be an excellent acquisition long term. Do I just be patient and get Ruddy in the jan window or do I avoid paying .5/6/7m more for him then?

    Thanks for your thoughts.

      I'm in your exact situation. I think it's a possibility, he's overdue a rest. Its got to be Demel for me, hopefully he'll get a start now that he's fit but not too optimistic after o'brien's performance. I think QPR are in for a hammering thought, so it'll likely be one point either way if Rafael doesn't play.

        Last night was a good chance to give him a rest, I was pretty disappointed to see him play 90 mins. I'll also have Demel higher up on bench and take a point rather than have Nelsen get nothing or a minus score.
