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

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

      Evra move is sideways, and you're chasing points with it. Baines is a better pick than Ivanovic imo with his upcoming fixtures. There isn't much difference between Tevez and Chico, that one depends on your other strikers.

    i have to ask, are the ones still holding baines just doing it out of habit/hope now ( i was), his price changes seem to indicate that...........i mean even if he gets a double figure score this weekend it doesnt make up for the general lack of value

      Made this argument a good few weeks ago, some people genuinely will not accept that Baines is a poor FPL pick this season. Some will still say he's due 100,000 points.

      He's the worst player to own in the game...even if RVP is overly expensive at least he does the business every week and has the (c) armband so you get double.

    Bego
    Mertesacker Enrique Gunter
    Bale Taarabt Snodgrass Ramirez
    RVP C Suarez Berbatov

    Foster Gallas Cameron Michu (assume out) 1.6m 1FT

    A) Taarabt/Snod/Ramirez > Nolan
    B) Michu > Walcott, would only lose 0.3 on Michu
    C) hit to get Walcott without losing Michu

      I'm sorry but I think your midfield is very mediocre. I would find a way to get Walcott without losing Michu.
