The hot favourite was sent packing from the quarter finals last weekend, as former world number one Iyad Zahlan was swept aside by “MileHigh” by 80 points to 46. The latter now moves up to 58th in the overall standings and will be joined in the last four by Wild Rover, who edged past Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad by two points in a battle of the site regulars.

Kun Nguyen also earned a place in the semi-finals with an upset of his own, defeating JMS 65-58, while David Bevan’s “Ange1Range1” scraped through on overall rank after drawing 50-50 with another familiar name on site, Ricky Smokes Lets Go.

The Semi-Final draw will follow later this week, with the last four clashing in Gameweek 22 as we take a break for the New Year’s Day programme. Those now involved now have the option to ponder whether to play their January Wildcards prior to their Gameweek 22 tie. Tense stuff.

    Couple of opinions needed...

    Forwards Defoe (REA) Van Persie (wig) Suarez (SUN) - No need to get Torres in with Mata in my team??

    So I plan on doing Nolan + Silva -> Walcott + Fellaini for a hit - Good idea?

    Happy New Year from down under everyone! Quick question, worth doing Sessegnon to Pablo Hernandez for a hit to free up some cash for next week? Current team is:

    Begovic-Ruddy
    Rafael-Nelsen-Shawcross-Jose Enrique-Sean Morrison
    Fellaini-Walcott-Sessegnon-Mata-Silva
    Berbatov-Ba-Defoe

    Looking to bring in Federici for Ruddy and Sean Morrison to Gibbs next week. Thoughts

          rotation, not injury. simply that there's a small chance rafa will screw you over if you make that transfer this week. mata has played a lot of footy recently. however, he has so reliable and i understand your desire to get him in. i also take heart in the fact he came off at 85 mins. he's rested and ready 😉

    I like dzeko but i look at his stats and all i can think is that he is a off the bench scorer.
    I dont think he has had 3 or 4 straight games where he got 90 min, since he joined the team.

    8 goals 3 assists in 700 mins is nice just wish he could start as a mid!

      Is Gibbs nailed on? He would do well for the DGW
