FFS Members Paddy Power Cup III – Entry Still Open

Is your mini-league crown looking out of reach? Not to worry, there’s still plenty to play for, not least our second free cup competition of the season. If you missed our article earlier in the week, you should know that the qualifying round was played out this weekend but, if you’re a member, you can still enter your team and score before tomorrow morning at 9am.

Read on for details on the Members Paddy Power cup but, if you’re a veteran of such tournaments, you can go straight here to make your entry. Members will need to log in first.

What is the Paddy Power Members Cup?
The Paddy Power Members Cup is our version of the Fantasy Premier League’s Fantasy Cup game available to our members. Entrants who qualify for the first round will be randomly drawn against each other and the winner of the tie is whoever has the highest score from that Gameweek, minus points spent on transfers (like in the original game and in head-to-head scores). In the event of a tie, the Manager highest in the overall FPL standings will progress.

Do I have to be a Member to take part?
Yes. This annual tournament is provided as part of our offering to members. Obviously it’s not too late to register as a member or upgrade your account. Details on how this is done is available right here.

How do I enter?
Simply fill out the entry form here. You will be sent a confirmation email to verify your entry. You can also check that you are entered via this list.

What do I do if I run into a problem with my entry?
Please contact support@fantasyfootballscout.co.uk and we will look into any issues with your entry. Please note, we can only do this prior to the Qualifying Round. If you make an error when submitting your team id on the entry form, you may be withdrawn from the tournament so please take care when completing the form.

When does it start?
The qualifying round takes place in Gameweek 25 but you can enter after the Gameweek is played out. All entries received before 9am on Monday February 4 will be entered into the qualifying round. In this first cup competition we will have 512 qualifiers for the first round: the 512 with the top scores in Gameweek 25 will progress to the first round proper to be played in Gameweek 26. Again, FPL rank will decide who progresses in the event of tied positions.

When will I find out if I’ve qualified?

Results from the qualifying round will be published on Wednesday February 6.

What is the Gameweek Schedule
Each round of the Members Paddy Power Cup will be played out over the following schedule:

Qualifying – Gameweek 25
Round 1 – 512 teams – Gameweek 26
Round 2 – 256 teams – Gameweek 27
Round 3 – 128 teams – Gameweek 28
Round 4 – 64 teams – Gameweek 29
Round 5 – 32 teams – Gameweek 30
Round 6 – 16 teams – Gameweek 31
Quarter-Finals – 8 teams – Gameweek 32
Semi-Finals – 4 teams – Gameweek 33
The Final – 2 teams – Gameweek 34

When are the fixtures released?
The fixture list for each round will be published a day or two before each Gameweek deadline – the draw for the First Round will be expected on Thursday February 7.

Are there prizes?

Sponsors Paddy Power are supplying the competition with some great prizes and we’re supplementing these with Amazon Vouchers. The prizes break down as follows:

Winner – £100 worth of free bets. £100 Amazon Voucher
Runner-up – £50 worth of free bets. £50 Amazon Voucher
3rd Place – £50 worth of free bets. £25 Amazon Voucher

In addition, the Quarter-Finalists from this tournament will gain entry to the Fantasy Football Scout Shield where they will play the eight Quarter-Finalists from this season’s earlier Paddy Power Cup. The shield tournament will start in Gameweek 35.

Cup Entrants will need a Paddy Power account and be aged 18 and over to be eligible for some of the above prizes. Prizes are also subject to Paddy Power’s terms and conditions. You can, of course, enter without being over 18 and without a Paddy Power account but will not be eligible for the free bet prizes.

If you’ve yet to register a Paddy Power account, then you can sign up via this site and get a free £20 when you register and bet £10.

RVP to Suarez

I'm one for learning my lessons, but this one is tempting me all variables considered. The likes of Rooney, Aguero and Benteke are all tempters for the blank and beyond too. Would cost .4 to get back.

At a loss as to what to do.

Well, maybe you guys are right, maybe Theo +8 is better than Gerrard, let’s assume Theo scores v Sunderland that’s 7 points from him minimum (unless he gets booked). This means that Gerrard for DGW would have to score 15 points, can we see it?

      Same tactics as previous season. Take hits first half of season to build up Team value. Then listen to wife's Paul Mckenna self help cd's and sit on my hands! Never going to get into top spots overall but enough to win sons mini league.

I think I can get away with this team in gwk 27 after doing Gerrard -> Bale. no hits. So much could go wrong though I know

Federici
Demel Zabaleta Martin (Johnson Davies)
Bale Mata Fellaini Walcott (Michu)
Pog RVP (Sturridge)

Could take a 4 point hit for Sturridge -> Giroud so I can field 11..
