FFS Cup

FFS Paddy Power Cup – Quarter Final Draw

The Paddy Power Cup has reached the Quarter-Final stages and with our final eight now having qualified for the Fantasy Football Scout Shield at the end of the season, they turn their attentions to their next opponent, on the trail of cup glory.

Former Fantasy Premier League leader Iyad Zahlan and his side, Giavara555, was the name that everyone wanted to avoid but it’s MileHigh who gets the “privilege” of that particular match-up. The sure-fire certainty for the televised tie, MileHigh goes into the weekend sitting in 224 position in the world, just 218 spots behind Iyad, and will fancy his chances of a giant-killing, having enjoyed another climb in Gameweek 19.

JMS was the other high ranked manager in the draw. Now sitting 149th in the world, he will face Mr.KK in last eight, with “ange1range1” taking on “Ricky Smokes lets go” and “Wild Rover” facing “Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad” in a stormy community head-to-head battle.

All ties will be played out over Gameweek 20 this weekend. Good luck to all involved.

1ange1range1Vs.Ricky Smokes lets go

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

        Oscar should get more game time once moses is off to Afcon if you plan on keeping for a while... Right now, Benitez doesn't seem to like him as much as hazard, mata, and moses (from a Chelsea fan)

    I have a Berbatov question. There's lots of love for him around these parts,

    how well did he actually play yesterday?

    Didn't watch the game but the members stats say 4 touches in the box, and 3 shots which is not as much goal threat as many others. Obviously stats can be misleading so I wanted the opinion from people who watched.

      think a lot of it is based on Ruiz coming back which should lead to a general improvement in the team. Got Berba in myself last night for Rooney to do Sterling to Bale.. but watching his performance last week against Liverpool he was nothing less than abysmal.

      Avoid Arsenal and West Ham defenders imo...in the coming weeks both defenses will leak more than United, Tottenham, and Chelsea. There are cheap defenders in all 3 sides- Evans, Az, Luiz OOP, Naughton, Gallas, Vertongen, even Evra. Arsenal and West Ham don't convince me

    Spurs got 15 corners in the first half yesterday, then only one 1 in the second ๐Ÿ˜† . However 4 goals in second.

    Villas-Boas on the training ground this week: "Do not go for corners, no matter what, do not try to get one!"

    A. Silva -> Santi
    B. Upgrade a defender (Shorey -> Tot def or something like that)

      If you've got Bale you don't need Defoe... better to mix it up than put too many eggs in one basket...

      Nice midfield. Wouldn't change anything really. Only really would think of making considerations towards the DGW - e.g - Gibbs/Per/Sagna in for Mccauley or Enrique.

    Anyone else starting to consider extra ARS and WHU coverage for the DGW?

      Hard to see beyond Caz and Walcott at present. Demel for the scraps.
