First of all, apologies for the tardiness of this particular article, with all the excitement building up to the double Gameweek, we missed the fact that it failed to post earlier, resigning it to a sleepy Friday night slot. Better late than never, here’s how the Quarter-Finals of the Members Cup played out, together with the draw for the semi-final stages.

The last eight saw some very tight affairs, with “Maddocio” edging through in his clash with “mospace” by just the odd point. Former Members Cup winner, “Fuzzy Dunlop” experienced the agony of a two point defeat to “12 inch of fury”, while there was just four points separating the sides in our other pair of ties, as community posters and the top ranked managers remaining, “Acquafresca” and “Eunuch Jelly”, both made progress.

Semi-Final Draw

1MaddocioVsAcquafresca
2Eunuch JellyVs12 inch of fury

Eunuch Jelly, ranked 214 in the world, must surely be the favourite for the double Gameweek semi-final, he faces up to the Kiwi “12 inch of fury” in the last four, a player ranked some 16,000 places below him but armed with a Wildcard and 4.3 in the bank. That leaves “Acquafresca” and “Maddocio” to contest for the other coveted place in our final.

These ties will be played out over the fixtures spanning this weekend and midweek, with the final and third-place playoff taking place in Gameweek 34, before the last eight of this cup meet the last eight of our earlier cup tournament in the first Fantasy Football Scout shield.

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

    Figuring Gervinho is gonna start against Norwich. It seems difficult to drop him particularly given his being a confidence player. Unless he messes up completely (it is Gervinho I suppose) he should have a decent shout of starting against Everton. He's been the surprise of the last few weeks.

    Does make me wary of bringing Walcott in. Wonder if I might as well go for it and get Gervinho for the DGW, and be ready to let him go if he's dropped before the end if the season.

        Yeah. Wenger has been typically positive and patient about Gervinho. He's gambled on him and it's paid off, would be counterproductive to destroy it.

      Looks like 2 of Walcott, Giroud and Gervinho unless they play Walcott on the left (not likely) or Gervinho on the left (possibly).

        What about Ox and Podolski. Doubt Gervinho and Walcott would both start together. Also Wenger seems to like Cazorla on the left wing, but i guess he can't do this if Rosicky and Wilshere don't play in the CAM role

          Yeah I doubt it too, just see the latter as more likely. Podolski appears to have a long running injury issue, ankle I think, which has contributed to his absence. Ox has just been frozen out, I got him two GWs ago and got royally burned.

          So if Wenger were to change things, I'd think it's likeliest to Caz on the left then with Wilshere moving CAM and Ramsey/Rosicky sitting alongside Arteta

                Really well. Finished 10km in 53:57. Can barely believe I ran that long and that far. Paced it well, all the practice paid off. Sprinted at the end 🙂

                Only regret is not pushing a bit harder and going for 52 minutes orso.

                But I'm running again in July and aiming for sub 50. Ouch.

                  Sprint finish 😯 😉 Great time though.
                  Wouldn't get too hung up on not pushing it, you definitely need to know a marker for a pace you can do without risking over doing it.
                  Yikes sub 50. Rather you than me!!!! I'm sure you'll make it though, the key is clearly in the effort you are putting in 🙂

    Need opinions before I go to bed-

    De Gea
    Clichy Mert Demel
    Carzola Walcott Mata Gerrard
    Benteke Lambert Suarez

    Mata to Fellaini ( Going to do this)

    Now the questions-

    1) Am I right to keep Mert?
    2) Do I need more DGW players?
    3) Do I need more Utd players

    Thanks if you reply! 🙂

    Cazorla, Walcott, Fellaini, HRK
    RVP, Suarez, Giroud

    Federici, Harte, Michu, Davies

    1.8 in the bank

    Anything worth doing for a hit? Thinking maybe HRK > Duff/Nolan?

        Wow. that's really a lot. I am feeling uncomfortable to take -8 this week. My first hit since GW19.
        I tried to avoid pts hit and only took -28 including the GW33 hits.

      Saints have better fixtures, so I'd go Zab and Shaw if Shaw is fit.
