We’re down to the final 128 teams in this year’s instalment of the Members Cup as Gameweek 27 saw some big community names fall by the wayside including “Doosra”, “Back Back Ballack”s “dribbler” and “Gaz Downright”, among others.

“Evs”, now up to 20th spot in the overall rankings, navigated passed “CHUBBY” by a convincing 60 vs 41 scoreline but fellow big hitter, Jonah, slipped out of the tournament: despite being tenth in the overall FPL standings, he made way as “Dilley” put pay to his campaign by a narrow three point margin (42 vs 39).

Previous Cup winner, “Fuzzy Dunlop” is going strong thanks to a 40 vs 32 win over “DBREADY” but fellow Hall of Famer, “Kippax Kikkers”, departs the tournament, turned over by “BlzBob” in a close 38 vs 34 encounter.

As for the contributors, Paul continues to fly the flag – he made it through to Round Three thanks to a 46 vs 37 victory over Rossaldinho, as Big Dunc went out to “mcginley50”.

The draw for the next round will be published tomorrow afternoon.

      Depends on if either/both of the Manchester games go into GW29 midweek or not. Very hard to say otherwise. Aside from blanks, nothing stands out as a big problem.

      Great front 8! You gotta just go with your gut and whatever seven you pick will give you a great shout at a points haul. Aguero is not for me personally, but for that fixture I think I'd leave him in, and I'd agree with you - I'd reluctantly bench Theo. If someone doesn't start you have a great sub...

    Bunn
    Turner, Harte, Davies, GJ
    Bale, Michu, Sissoko

    Subs: Begovic

          It is actually a small bug that should be fixed for next season- sorry! When you are picking a captain, you are not interested in the player's expected points, you are interesting in their expected points given that they take part in the game, which can be very different for players who are rotation risks. (We calculate both but only display the former.) When I wrote the programme to select captain and vice, it correctly uses the expected points score given that a player takes part for captaincy AND vice captaincy. For vice-captaincy it should use expected points only to rank as if you're vice misses out you don't get another captain after that! It's a very small issue that I only realised a few weeks ago was wrong!

          So actually, it could be the right thing to captain Rooney over other options who have lower expected scores though it definitely isn't the right thing to vice captain a player with a lower expected score than others.

          Hope that helps!

              Would it also take into account that say if RVP was your captain, having Hernandez as vice captain might be a better option than another players who might score higher based on chances of playing?

              (as more likely Hernandez be playing if RVP is not)

      Rafa

      "I'm disappointed with the fans. They need to support the team instead of wasting their time with their banners and songs. I'm very experienced as a manager and it was a mistake to make me 'interim' manager. I am the manager. They need to support. At the end of the season, I will leave. They do not need to worry about me."

        Feel sorry for the guy - Abramovich has made a joke of the manager's position at the club for the last 5 years

          He should have thought about the "interim" manager clause when he signed on for a fortune, instead of fuming at a presser. He's lost it.

            He's lost it since ages. Amateur. What does he want from us. To support him? Like Barsa fans supporting Mourinjo

        Chelsea fans wanted him out but it wasn't rafa that sacked di matteo, they won the champions league but still came 5th in the league so even if they finish 4th its better than last season.

          Thanks to RDM's impressive start to the season, the Rafa collapse hasn't burned us yet.

            It was impressive enough to knock you out of the champions league.

              That 2:0 up lead cost us. Also Sturridge injured before crucial game. RDM was good.

        I don't think it stops there....tonights team selection was bizarre even though it worked out..I think he's had a bigger problem with the bigger players than he's letting on....

    Rafa taking a diss on the board too now. Definitely out in the morning!

    "Why put 'interim' in title? Why did they need to do that? Maybe they (board) thought: 'He was at Liverpool so we put 'interim' in"

      Getting sacked in the morning is so clichéd...why not in the afternoon or take it easy and get sacked in the evening?
