The third round of the Paddy Power Cup V saw 256 fantasy managers go head-to-head over the course of Gameweek 15. The results of which are in, and can be viewed right here. Read on for a round-up of how some of the ties of note played out…
Another round and another former champ exits the competition. This time it’s FFS Cup II winner, Jonty, who has been eliminated after a crushing 68 – 59 defeat at the hands of 66irons. That leaves Ninja_fit_saints alone in the hunt to achieve the unprecedented – a second tournament win.
Chief Scout Mark also casts a lonely figure as the only remaining contributor; he powers on into the fourth round after a 70 – 41 demolition of domo. Intimidating stuff.
This week’s top-scorer was Cabaroota Beach queens, who tonked rakkhi 93 – 67. In the fourth round, he’ll be hoping to avoid the same fate that met the two previous top-scorers, both of which were knocked out the very next round. Round two top-scorer, elfortu, was battered 84 – 49 by a rampant EasyLuckyFree.
Also bowing out this week is bobbyg who, even now, is the highest ranked fantasy manager involved in the third round. He lost a nail-biter 63 – 62 to Lestat, but only slips two places overall to 52nd in the world.
Having wiped the floor 82 – 66 with theotherguy, hootneil now stands as the highest ranked competitor, only two behind bobbyg in 54th.
Four matches ended level, which meant that overall ranking had to be looked at to find a winner. Their previous 14 week’s work put Brosna Stars, evertonalstars, The Yassasinators and MaRkEsTuTe through at the expense of meltedman, evers, rocket science and jils respectively.
Congratulations to the 128 in the hat for the fourth round (the draw for which will be made on Thursday), and commiserations to everyone else.
