Sunday’s inaugural Fantasy Football Shield final will be contested by former FFS Cup Winner “Fuzzy Dunlop” and “Mr KK” following Gameweek 37’s semi-final matches.

Fuzzy progressed to Sunday’s showpiece courtesy of a hard-fought battle with “Eunuch Jelly” with points hits the deciding factor on show. The “Jellyman” took an eight point hit, fetching in Theo Walcott, Frank Lampard and Victor Anichebe for Michu, Eden Hazard and Jermain Defoe. While that move offered him profit, it wasn’t enough to overcome Fuzzy Dunlop’s squad as he brought in both Walcott and Daniel Sturridge with explosive effect. That Sturridge transfer made the difference as Fuzzy ran out the victor by five points.

“Acquafresca’s” extraordinary run of cup form came to an abrupt end in his semi-final, as Mr KK flexed his high-rank muscles to see him off by a six point margin. Acquafresca made a positive move by bringing in Lampard but decided against taking a hit going into the tie, keeping faith with Romelu Lukaku and Carlos Tevez up front. Mr KK traded Lukaku for Sturridge with his free transfer and the rest is history.

Good luck to our two finalists – there’s a £100 Amazon voucher up for grabs for the winner, with a £50 voucher lined up for the runner-up.

    Looks like I might have to deploy my patented "leave it to fate" method of captain selection between Bale and Sturridge for the first time this season.

    Go into FPL at 11:29
    Switch capt to Bale (vc Sturridge)
    Confirm
    Switch capt to Sturridge
    Confirm
    Repeat until game updates.

      Just can't separate them in my head. Bale is logically the choice (just about) but there is the theory that Liverpool's game will be less tense, ie more chance of being high scoring.

        Never tried that method before. Not a bad idea when you can't decide between the two.

        I see similar returns for both players but with Bale you get the extra point for a goal and CS.

          Yeah, factored that in as well. Sturridge has more chance of a hat trick though. Spurs more likely to shut up shop if they go, say, two goals up.

            I agree Sturridge has the edge when it comes to hat-trick potential.

            A Bale double seems more realistic although he has heavy assist potential and on set pieces.

      I have a feeling Bale is in one of his slumps. He's been way more consitent than usual this year but how many wonder goals can we expect him to score? On the other hand Sturridge and Coutinho are at the beginning of a footballing bromance so I'm backing their passion to keep producing
