As a two-week break for the Paddy Power Cup V approaches an end, it’s time to refresh your memory as to where we are with the competition. In Gameweek 19 we had eight fixtures involving 16 fantasy managers, each fighting for a place in the Gameweek 21 Quarter-Finals. Here is how they played out…
| 1 | Raasclart | 48 | – | 38 | Mr Bungle |
| 2 | menders | 44 | – | 54 | CSKA AWFUL |
| 3 | Natt | 26 | – | 51 | Declan |
| 4 | Der-Hammer95 | 36 | – | 38 | Sc8tt26 |
| 5 | soulman27 | 46 | – | 27 | runty |
| 6 | ChickenDevil | 45 | – | 44 | Timmy Loving |
| 7 | VereWinner | 34 | – | 41 | sleepingmaster |
| 8 | Bruce Baer | 31 | – | 45 | Funkyav |
Upset-of-the-round was Der-Hammer95‘s demise at the hands of Sc8tt26. A slender two-point margin put the round’s highest-ranked fantasy manager to the sword.
Closer still was ChickenDevil‘s single point victory over Timmy Loving. In winning 45 – 44, ChickenDevil strung together his 14th green arrow in a row. Given he’s currently nursing only his fourth red arrow of the season in Gameweek 20, he may be quite relieved to still be sitting on a Quarter-Final spot.
Fixture three saw the biggest thumping of the round, as Declan put 25 points on his opponent Natt, who’s score of 26 was the lowest of the bunch.
Declan’s 51 was runner-up in the pursuit of a top-score, as CSKA AWFUL achieved that feat in triumphing 54 – 44 over menders.
Completing the Quarter-Final line-up is Raasclart (who saw off Mr Bungle 48 – 38), soulman27 (going through on the back of a 46 – 27 drubbing of runty), sleepingmaster (in the hat thanks to a 41 – 34 win against VereWinner) and Funkyav (after bettering Bruce Baer 45 – 31).
The eight remaining participants will learn off their Quarter-Final nemeses shortly. For now, commiserations to the eight leaving the competition at this stage.
