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.

            He can, most likely way is Walcott at CF instead of Giroud. Not sure if Giroud should be dropped exactly. Alternative is Gervinho playing on the left.

      That only means Siss is nailed on to play and Marv is not.
      However, if Jonas fills up for Santon, there is open space for Marveaux to step in.
      But HBA is fit and will get some game time.

    Being away from FFS has hurt me the past 3 GWs, trying to get back on track, current team as follows:

    Baine, GJ, Clyne
    Cazorla, Walcott, Fellaini, Mata
    RVP, Berbatov, Suarez

    Bunn; Maloney, Wilson, Harte

    I'm already on -4, would you:

    Hey guys, final decision. Should I play,

    A) Hazard (will play home game vs City, then may be rested vs Fullham on weds) or,

    B) Sissoko (nailed on for 2 pts minimum but looking more and more knackered/blunt after europa games and tough derby game)

    Thanks for any thoughts.

    Wildcard used, wondering about my zero City players.

    My vague justification is that by the time they play the DGW they may have literally nothing to play for, and Mancini could send the kids out. Also, unless Man U lose to Stoke, they will probably rotate against Wigan after the cup.

    Thoughts?

      mancini hates the points gap as it is. no way he will send kids out imo
