We’ve narrowed it down to just 64 sides in the Members Paddy Power Cup II, but there’s still a long way to go before we approach the prize-winning stages. With less than half the tournament complete, the 32 fixtures that comprise the fourth round can be viewed right here.

With the former champ biting the dust last week, and every last one of the Scout Contributors dumped out of the competition, we take a look at those left in the competition…

The third highest-ranked Fantasy manager in the fourth round is 894th in the world, and round three top-scorer, Bob Fossil. His passage into the last 32 is currently blocked by 2,801st overall jackomcjackon.

Our second “seed” is herrzz. He sits an impressive 355th overall, and finds himself up against 23,706th in the world Billy Ketsu.

The man to beat, and our highest-ranked Fantasy manager in the competition, is 108th in the world JimNastics. Looking to upset the apple cart this week and eliminate our best player is 15,272nd on the world seamus.

All fixtures to be played across Gameweek 28. Good luck to all the fourth round participants! I’ll bring you the results and the subsequent draw shortly after the Gameweek has concluded.

    Reina, Gibbs + 0.2 or Krul, Enrique + 1.1 (Enough to upgrade N'Zog to Yaya later)

        He's got a very good attacking threat. We've kept 8 cleansheets. Good run of fixtures.

          Santos is back.
          So Gibbs maybe rotated.
          Sagna is a better option.

        Yeah that is random. Especially after losing in Portugal you wouldn't really want to hang about and train in a place that has a defeat attached to it, then fly direct to Swansea. Think it will backfire.

    Anyone that says values aren’t important at this point of the game are kidding themselves.

    If I had done the Aguero > Rooney transfer on the Monday (fell asleep), then I would have the exact money to do Komps and Kelly OUT > Skrtel and Enrique IN.

    Instead, I’m 0.1 out, and am now contemplating either going with two of my bench suspended/crocked(Dyer/Kelly) or not getting Rooney in to patch everything else up…..

      Sometimes the Monday kneejerk is the right move, not often but sometimes.
      I think at some point in the season we all have a "if only I had another 0.1 moment" hope yours isn't too costly. Hang-on, yes I do - I brought in Rooney and Skrtel this week!

      Of course they're important. If you have the chance to make a move before the price rises then do it, I don't think anyone would disagree.

      Where they aren't important at this stage is when you're wary of losing a player just because you'll lose however much on him, rather than whether he'll get you points or not. I got Bale in at 8.1 yet got rid last week as I don't think he'll score well over the next few weeks. I will most likely want him in GW31 onwards, but the fact I 'lost' 0.8m wasn't a good enough reason for me to keep him until then.
