After an eleven-week marathon, sleepingmaster lifted the coveted Paddy Power Cup V after a 81 – 60 victory over Funkyav. He adds his name to the growing list of former champions, which now reads… donnellyc, Jonty, Gooner dave, Ninja_Fit_Saints and sleepingmaster.

His 21-point annihilation of finalist Funkyav, came courtesy of an inspired 30-point captain’s haul from Gareth Bale. Also helping was the other nine bonus points, two goals, two assists, and clean sheet from the rest of his squad. Despite owning Bale and accruing an impressive four clean sheets, Funkyav was let down by the rest of his attacking outfit, including a rare poor return from captain Robin van Persie.

Sleepingmaster finishes the tournament in a healthy and slightly modest 36,691st overall, pockets the top prize, and will return in Gameweek 29 to defend his crown.

Here is a breakdown of all the winners from the Paddy Power Cup V…

  • Winner: sleepingmaster – £150 worth of free bets. £50 Amazon Voucher
  • Runner-up: Funkyav – £75 worth of free bets. £30 Amazon Voucher
  • 3rd Place: ChickenDevil – £50 worth of free bets. £20 Amazon Voucher

I’m sure you’ll all join me in congratulating our three prize winners for their fine efforts.

Finally, thank you to everyone who submitted an entry for the competition, and to SUPERIOR BEING, Mark and Ed for helping me out behinds the scenes to make the competition possible.

Finally, a reminder to all our Members that registration to the Members Paddy Power Cup is still open, with Gameweek 24 acting as the qualifying round. Members must enter their username and FPL id’s to be included in the qualifying.

        Both would be for a hit, so just the one. Can't decide whether to keep Fletch in for next week or get Ba for easy home game and pre-price rise. Obviously VK is good long term…

    Vorm, Ming
    Simpson, Enrique, Taiwo, Richards, Evans
    Silva, Sess, Bale, Dempsey, Dyer
    Dzeko, RVP, Ba

    but £1.2m spare so should I upgrade Richards to Komps or I could move things around to upgrade Dzeko to Aguero?

    Aguero doesnt seem worth it though?

    I have 1 free transfer and 0.2m in the bank.

      I think so yes, if City get a cs then Demps gets no more than 2, if the don't, that's 2 CS down the pan, and it'll be even worse if someone other than Clint scores (as unlikely as that may be)
