The draw for the first round of the 2019/20 FFS Cup

FFS Cup December 27

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.

1	ange1range1	Vs.	Ricky Smokes lets go
2	JMS	Vs.	Mr.KK
3	Wild rover	Vs.	Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
4	Giavara555	Vs.	MileHigh

      Good luck - must be hard with being an Everton fan and everything. You will always have that fear that the next good (FPL) game is round the corner
      
      I'm happy to keep for another couple weeks. If it was anyone else he would have been long gone

    As an Everton fan though, I'm lured in by what a brilliant player he is. Even in this FF dry spell, hes been excellent in pure footballing terms. No doubt we'll now get a penalty and a CS against Chelsea.

    At least Demel is benchable...Baines you have to play because of his bloated price tag...I would definitely say he is the worst player to own in the entire game. There has been no positives to it.

  i've been stuck with gardner since a punt in DGW, but he's playing reverse OOP. still might have a chance if bardsley starts playing. actually, anyone know why bardsley isn't starting games?

After a couple of mediocre GWs, I've decided to take a hit and get in bale, who looks too irresistable at the moment. This gives me a front 7, that I'll play most of the time, of Bale, Michu, Cazorla, Mata, RVP, Defoe and Suarez. They have 70 goals between them this season so an average of 10 a piece, not to mention all the assists they have as well. Looking good?

Only problem is how to fit Fellaini in when he's back.

Surprised Mata looks set to rise again this week. If I had to guess I'd say that he'll be rested for the QPR game, given our recent hectic schedule and upcoming cup matches. Meaning his next three fixtures are:
