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.

      Mata is the better player, and I think he will play v Fulham. Rested in the EL, and it's an important game for Chelsea, away at Fulham.

        Is it an important game for Rafa though? I suggest not.

      So essentially will mata play? He was rested last night I think.

          this is why Im worried. I can see him playing 90 v Man City and then being on bench v Fulham and come on for 20 mins. I can also see him getting an assist, whereas Sissoko will most likely do nothing, get a card and leave me regretting decision until the Fulham game, unless I bench him, then he'll score.

      Cazorla or RVP. Cannot decide!!! Let's have a group vote. haha.

      I would love to captain RVP, I'm just afraid he won't start both, which I'd prob say is +- 40% likely. He's started all but 3 games this season, and 2 of those 3 were in the first 4 games of the season! That's not a bad return at all! Cazorla has only not started 1 though the whole season!

          Dadoune set up a spreadsheet with all the common picks and some other players. The idea is that everyone has a guess at their points, the spreadsheet calculates the average and then it works out what we're predicting each manager to score. Have a look at it for the next GW.

          The only truth is Wenger has said they are fit

            saw photos of them training today, but isnt Wenger notorious about not putting returning (injured) players back in the team too soon?

            If this is the case, EVE is not te most appealing of fixtures

    Currently have:

    Fabianski
    Monreal
    Baines
    Walcott
    Kagawa

    Thinking of doing:

    Mata + Sturridge > Giroud + Fellaini (I back Giroud with two home games over Berba or Mirallas)

    Therefore I need to get rid of an Arsenal player. Thinking:

    Monreal (uncertainty over minutes with Gibbs fit) > Rafael/Evra

    Any suggestions?
