We had 64 fantasy managers going head-to-head across double Gameweek 28, all looking for a place in the next round of the Members Paddy Power Cup II. You can see who progressed by viewing the full set of results right here.

Upsetting the odds this week were seamus and Billy Ketsu, who eliminated the number one and two ranked Fantasy managers in the round. Top seed JimNastics bowed out 67 – 60 to seamus, and second seed herzzz was knocked out 64 – 39 by Billy Ketsu.

Top score this week went to cup regular Bend it Like Bennett, who edged out the third highest-scorer chinmusic 82 – 77. Disastrous luck for chinmusic.

After the round three oddity of no drawn ties, we had a solitary draw in the fourth. Thanks to his slightly superior ranking (43,730th), Raizo comes out on top after his 56 – 56 draw with dlpc (58,650th).

Congratulations to the 32 teams advancing to the fifth round, and hard luck to those defeated. The draw for the next round will be made shortly.

A reminder that our fifth Paddy Power Cup is now open for entry. This tournament is open to all – full details can be found in this post.

    Nani & Suarez to Valenica and Rooney for a 4 point hit for this week?

      Do you think the second pair will outscore the first by more than 4? Could easily go either way.

        Just worried about Nani not playing - not too much info coming out about him and not taken to Sapin for Europa League game.

          I'd wait a bit, if Nani is fit for the weekend I would expect him to play, can't see Valencia coming back and playing twice in 4 days if Nani is fit and raring to go.

            Agree Goose, I think this is the week SAF has been targeting...do I know for sure? Hell no. I just feel it's highly unlikely he (Nani) gets rotated again.

    a valencia related question.. bought him at 8.1.. he’s now at 7.5.. got every 0.1 rise till 8.1 i get the full 0.1 right? as i kept him throughout his fall

    also,
    anyone who watched liverpool everton notice that skrtel barely went up for any set pieces?? only kelly went up from the defenders.. maybe a tactic from dalglish to prevent counters? destroys his goal threat

      Yes, if he starts to rise again you will benefit fully from every rise until 8.1. Thereafter it'll be 0.1 for every 0.2 that he rises, as usual.

      Probably just last weeks NTI carrying over so he rose on Sat or Sun night with very few transfers in for this week. 55k NTI is enough to rise 0.2m if they're fairly evenly spread over 2 days (remember that all surplus transfers in are thrown away when any price change happens).

      Does form come into it? Suárez had no form but thousands take a punt so he goes up slower than Rooney who has had a couple of good weeks.

              His home fixtures are extremely tempting, and his away games are against a few generous defences.

    Sturridge being subbed off last night means:

    a) he was rested
    b) he was ineffective thus uncertain to start on weekend

    Kept hold of Ba and Aguero the past month. It usually happens that a mass switch to other players such as Pog and Rooney bites you on the bum, but can't see that loyalty being rewarded as yet.

    Ba has the Norwich game to spark into life (i can see Ben Arfa playing in that one), and Aguero falls into the 'form is temporary, class is permanent' bracket.

    Fingers crossed.

      The mass transfer scenario is already well into full swing with Aguero to Rooney. You've almost missed the boat on that one but jump aboard quickly before its too late

      Regarding Ba this is his last chance. There will be an even bigger mass sell of if he fails against Norwich. Beware.

    Day 2 result

    Only one winner, but placed in all seven races to ensure a profitable day.

    Day 3 Tips

    1.30 Sir Des Champs (7-2) is unbeaten over fences and would go off as favourite if it wasn't for the reputation of Peddlers Cross. Reputation won't count for nothing today though and expect Sir Des Champs to upset the apple cart in the opener.

    2.05 Extremely competitive race, I am going for the solid form of Thehillofusinneach (12/1) each way ridden by the inform Barry Geraghty.

    2.40 I am going to look outside the first couple in the market and back Noble Prince (13/2) each way to bring home the bacon.

    3.20 Big Bucks will take this but is massive odds on, I will be looking at the straight forecast of Big Bucks-Oscar Whisky for a chance of bigger returns.
    If you fancy a small dabble on a tricast, you could do worse than take a look at So Young for third.

    4.00 Anyone's race. I am finding it hard to pick one from Hector's Choice (10/1) Cockney Mackem (16/1) and Niceonefrankie (9/1) and think they will all go close.

    4.40 David Pipe traditionally does well in this race with plenty of past winners, Faasal (14/1) is the pick of his entrants.

    Acca on City, Athletico, Schalke and Olympiakos at 9/1

      Yes, very. As funny as it sounds, i don't think Lampard is nailed on in the league. Meireles will see game time.

      Silva is struggling a little at the moment but he's pure class. Gerrard punt could pay off for the QPR and Wigan games.

      It's all about the captain choice imo. 60 pts is nothing if you get a good run of picks.

          I don't like the GW31 transfer.
          From then Dempsey has - NOR bol CHE liv
          Walcott - qpr MCI wol WIG
          I prefer Walcott of the 2 for that run

              Still...I dunno about ditching Walcott with QPR, Wolves and Wigan in 3 of the next 4.

          It's just pure hope that VDV is going to start scoring again. Fact is without penalties and responsibilities at the club he seems to have dropped off. You think he could pick up again? I like the rest of the plan, but that first one just feels like one risk to another!

          As I said at the top of this page im waiting but if he is out I'll probably go for Walcott, might consider Gerrard or VDV tho.

    Is anyone getting rid of Silva? I'm thinking of maybe bring in Mata. Chelsea should be full of confidence now.

      Mata is on my radar but I still think its too soon for Chelsea acquisitions. Wait and see how they fare against Citeh. Last chance for Silva too

        I get the home advantage Doos but don't you think
        1)Swansea pose more of an attacking threat
        2)Sunderland are more organised defensively?

        Also i thought of a couple of moves to sort my midfield dilemma. If there is no news on Johnson,
        i could do
        Johnson Dyer > Andrews and Kelly this week
        which lets me do
        Ox > Walcott next week
        What do u think?

          I like those - a lot. Perhaps Morrison rather than Andrews.

          I agree with your points BUT I think Schwarzer is slightly better than Mignolet. Also, although Sigurdson is on form, Sinclair is not. Dyer is out. Graham has gone off the boil. Will Moore score two on the trot?

            I cant afford morisson if i want the ox and if walcott goes up by 0.1 this is all but over for me.

              so that said, i could make my moves early saturday checking what the status on Theo is so that i can make my next weeks move immediately to avoid any kind of transfer rise.

              do you fancy the Yak to put them past Mignolet?

                No, but I would be nervous. I am getting Mignolet next week.

                Everyone hates me for this - but in your position I would perhaps get Tiote.
                Andrews is a great pick - however, he may not be nailed on.

      I've just accepted that if the GW is spread if it starts badly then it will end okay and if it starts well then I will have a slump at the end. No sort of real reasoning behind this but it does seem to happen an awful lot.
