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.

    Do u guys think i shud take a hit to do Mert to Sagna ? (coz there's a risk Mert might not play vs Everton as Verm will keep the armband. Also Turner, Harte is next on my bench.)

      Sorry for the confusion. It's a six weeklong tournament that starts tomorrow.

      Scoring will be simple -- whichever player scores higher advances to the next round/GW and plays on. In case of a tie, the higher ranked (FPL points) player will advance. If one player is benched, his opponent wins in a walkover.

      The winning owner will be the man whose player wins that last match against the finalist from the other side of the bracket in GW38

        So each player I own is on his own?? Would've planned differently if I knew that. Oh well

        Also if a player is benched but the opposing player gets zero or negative points I think the benched player shouldn't lose...

      This is my 6th season. In each of the seasons, I have better my previous totals. The trend continues. Ranks aren't as impressive as yours though.

        Well done. Shows you're improving your game. The ranks will get better. And i have to say i've been way further up than i anticipated.

    Last Two pieces to My wc, help me to decide

    a) yaya + giroud

    b) Walcott + mirallas

    First feels safer and Even savea one transfer in future.
    But Getting that Feeling that is a must + b) gives Also extra Game This gw.

      Did we ever get proof RVP was on pens or did we just assume so when Rooney was taken off?

      Had RVP captain most of the season hence my recent downturn? Got to stick with him to come good!
