FFS Paddy Power Cup – Quarter-Final Results

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.

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

          I'm not too sure on the whole, "its Stoke so he'll definitely play" argument. Tevez and Aguero should both start, and although Mancini could play all three with Nasri out, I'm not sure it's definite enough to transfer Berbs out for.. Plus, he didn't start at Stoke earlier in the season.....

        I must disagree Giggs, Stevie G has provided brilliant returns the last 4 weeks and could do that again for at least the next 2. Great prospect before the DGW craziness.

          And by that point most will use their WCs so he's not really a risk at all. Use him for his good matches then turf him out on the WC.

      Definitely a great shout Isacki, I've been thinking Oscar or Stevie G for this week. Oscar will start but Stevie has been so consistent.

    Cazorla (Always plays well away and playing southampton)
    Michu (Playing disastrous Villa but could be injured and I don’t want a 1 point cameo)
    Hazard (QPR at home and might be in the limelight because Mata could be rested)
    Ba (Always reliable to get returns)
    Lambert (Good differential and arsenal don’t have the best defense record lately)
    Azpilicueta (Very good differential, attacking threat against QPR and very possible clean sheet)
    Suarez (Could get a blank and a yellow card or a freakin hatrick)

    WHO TO PICK FOR CAPTAIN ????!!!??

      Michu. His tweet makes me think he'll start. Put the (V) on Hazard IMO

    1 week punt needed to replace bale in order to have any chance of fielding a full team. I have narrowed it down to these options. I am playing WC ASAP, cant plan for DGW as I am carrying too much deadwood and dont want Caz and I will have 3 Arsenal for the City game. Can I get some votes..

    1 - Gerrard
    2 - Hazard (double with Mata)
    3 - Dempsey
    4 - Fellaini (likely to be in my WC team anyway..)

    First time feeling genuinely stuck for a while. Enrique out to: Rafael, Walker, or Zabaleta? No arsenal as I have Sczcesny and cant go more expensive (i.e. Vert, Luiz) due to planned future transfers. Hmm....

      I went for Zabaleta, great chance for a cleanie this week, and he should get forward lots as I expect Stoke to be camped in their own half for most of the match.

    For those talking about the need for a member's forum, there is in practice one already, it's called "two articles back"... probably not a great permanent arrangement though 😀
