Paddy Power Cup V – The Semi-Final Results

As entry opens for the Members-only Paddy Power Cup VI, we’ve almost reached the final stage of it’s predecessor. Gameweek 22 saw four fantasy managers face off in the Semi-Finals of the Paddy Power Cup V. In case you missed the summary in this week’s ScoutCast, here is how the two ties panned out…

sleepingmaster 48 – 41 ChickenDevil

sleepingmaster advances to the Grand Final after a seven-point win over ChickenDevil. A late fight-back courtesy of Antonio Valencia’s 13-point haul wasn’t enough to close the gap after Stephane Sessegnon and, to a lesser degree, Ciaran Clark’s performances the day before.

Sitting 59,659th in the world, sleepingmaster advances as the underdog, but is safe in the knowledge that he’s already pocketed prizes worth over £100. ChickenDevil will have to settle for a Gameweek 23 3rd-place play-off to bag a prize.

Raasclart 26 – 37 Funkyav

Eleven points was the margin of victory for Funkyav over Raasclart, who has John Ruddy’s unlikely clean sheet against Chelsea to thank. With Funkyav backing a heavy Chelsea win, seeing as his team boasted the likes of Juan Mata and captain Daniel Sturridge, fortune was certainly on his side.

Congratulations to sleepingmaster and Funkyav for reaching the Grand Final! A preview article will follow…

    Anything I should do different with this wildcard team?

    Lindy, Mingolet
    Kompany, Shawcross, Cahill, Evans, Senderos
    Bale, Sess, Valencia, Silva, Dempsey
    Sturridge, RVP, Dzeko
    (0.2 in the bank)

    Any ideas?

    Guys please help me out here, I'm really anxious as Rooney is my only striker on the pitch this GW :/ Is he likely to start against Stoke? If not I'm probably taking a 4 point hit to upgrade Agbon to Bent or Rooney to VP with the 4-5-1 formation staying in place. Advice?

    Mid: Bale Sess Ben Arfa Dempsey Silva
    Strikers: Bendtner Rooney Agbon

    (I was waiting for Ba to return and also restoring Yakubu to my team but with this Rooney incident might have to take a course of action already mentioned)

      He's probably not - but we have the advantage this week of seeing the teamsheets before the deadline for some of the games (Man Utd's being one of them). So I'd advise having a plan but waiting until the last minute to make the change, if needed.
