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.

Akers Richard or Akers, as he is known, has been regularly haunting this site since July 2008. He is young and foolish, take what he says with a pinch of salt. Follow them on Twitter

      Would you do Dempsey to Nani for a hit?

      My current frontline has Dempsey on bench with

      Silva, Bale, Mata(C), Ryo

          I brought in Pog, so that Dempsey could make way for United midfielder.

          Think there's probably only 2 gameweeks Dempsey could go crazy and they are NOR (GW31) and WIG (GW35).

          It's a punt, but need Utd in some form and Rooney is the only guaranteed up front, but comes at too much cost.

        Similar to my thinking. I already lined up Taiwo and Sess to Siggy and Skrtel before last night's injury.

        Is there really any value in Enrique considering he cannot score/assist and I would already have Skrtel?

      Citys fixtures are tough so I'd gladly go without Komp and have the cash to invest elsewhere.
      Rangel seems worth keeping, cheap bench player but good attacking threat also when you wanna play him in home games

      B. Double up on 'pool and then bench Simpson is what I'd do.

      Cheers Chaps... Evans in was in my mind... either him or Enrique, but trying to avoid 2 defenders from the same team (prefer to spread the risk)

      I'd go with C all day - I expect city to score a few this wknd.
      It also looks like the right time to take Komp out, considering their fixtures.

      Could double up on Liverpool with Komp - Enrique or Komp - Evans and cash to spend

      Hmmm, the thing is Sim, I'm likely to need a 4 point hit next week or 2 to bring in Evans/Rooney so thinking if I do it now, it's done and dusted and both good, long term moves.

      Something to mull over but at least I've narrowed it down.

        And you're worried about missing a Rooney windfall V WB this week 🙂

        I cant see why you need to take a hit to get Rooney in next week, maybe I missed something...?

        Personally I'd do Komp - Evans now and Aguero - Rooney next week but if you got a strong feeling on Rooney for the WB game then taking the hit and giving him the armband cud be the way to go. Good luck!

        Morning Count. I logged off straight after my reply to you last night - have you now decided on your midfielders?

    Good day chaps;

    Already used transfer to do Aguero to Rooney. But have defensive issues. Kelly out and Simpson almost a guaranteed 1 or 2 pointer are out. That leaves Caulker at home to City to join Skrtl and Evans. Which keeper should I play? Double up on Swans with Vorm (save points) or play Mingolet (more likely CS against a goal shy Pool and spreads chances of CS)?

    Stumped.....

      I'd go with Mig in goal and then just play Caulker. Console yourself about it with Skrtels dgw. It doesnt seem worth a hit to bring in a defender, its hard to see a clean sheet anywhere this wknd...

      Take the opportunity to replace Sorensen whilst you've got no other major priorities?

        I'm with yous, definitely something needs doing there
        Those keepers are the legacy from GW21 WC, hasn't really worked out!

        I want to get Friedel or deGea - cant decide which one tho...
        either way I can't afford DeGea this wk and wouldn't want Friedel until next week.

        Maybe Walker-Enrique this wk and Friedel in next week

        Cheers
