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.

      In my opinion of course! Also update your link. Would that be for a 4 point hit?

        I wouldn't take a hit to get Evans in this week, Wolves are garbage but have a history of upping their game for the big teams and it is at Molineux so it's far from a nailed on clean sheet. For a free, sure, but I'm not a fan of hits. Since you can field a good defence without him I'd stick personally.

          Transfers are very tough this week...can feel this week being even more important than last week. I would leave Gerrard personally, but there is less risk than there was where he's concerned. Nani could well start on Sunday...this doesn't guarantee him points though 😕 I like the idea of bringing in Valencia too but again who knows whether he'll start Sunday.

          I'd do the Cahill transfer for now as it frees up a good amount of cash. Then just sit and hope Nani starts and bench Drenthe.

I've noticed that whatever happens I seem to stay 100 behinds him. We must have identical teams. It's really difficult to make up ground in the Sky game especially with next to no transfers at this stage in the season and (c) switching between RVP and Rooney.

    Enrique BAE Skertel Simpson Kelly
    Silva Bale Dempsey Sigurdsson Pilko

    Personally I am not big of my midfeild at all. Silva has dried up, Sigurdsson is decent but only as a budget option and Pilkington......what was I thinking, huge rotation risk!

    Then I have the Ba issue.....he's going soon.

    Not to mention the Newcastle defence......I think that they have been punching well above their weight this season and I think that the C/S are going to be few and far between for remainder of the season!

    Actually come to think of it I do not like my team....If I had a wc I would get rid of:

    One of Skertel/Enrique
    Simpson

      Probably best to sort your MF and Forwards out first, as you can just play 3 Defenders every week. I'd take note of the United match tonight, and possibly bring in Valencia for Silva. That'll give you some money to sort out Pilko. Ba is still a good option at the moment at least.

      Liverpool double up may still work, but I agree with the Newcastle defence point. Almost a straight swap Simpson -> Evans?

    Dear God.

    Looking at my front 8.

    Bale, Dempsey, Silva, Miyachi and then one of Young/Nani/Valencia
    RVP, Ba and Pog

    The player I fancy to score the least is RVP. Fancy Miyachi to do something at Villa and think Everton away will be tough game for the Arse.

    Just don't think I have the balls to bench RVP.

        In fairness he has had 10 GW's out of the 28, where he's only scored a 2.

        So technically there are 35% of the occasions so far this season where he "should" have been benched.

        Calling them correctly is the problem.

      Miyachi plays for Bolton, so best keep that in mind 🙂

      A decent player, but Bolton aren't decent and he could very easily go 90 minutes without touching the ball enough to make something happen.

        That's what I'm thinking, I just think Villa are still ropey so it's a game where he could score.

        I think I am scared of the points on the bench.

        Suppose at least if RVP plays and does crap and Miyachi scores double figures, only the minority would "beat me" whereas if I get an RVP call wrong I will be punished massively 😀

          No cos your still taking a hit to switch a good (h) fixture to a good away one.

          And as dull as Wigan are they don't get turned over. Always a tight game at the DW. Fulham are quality at the Cottage. Attacking football all the way. Pog will get plenty chances.

        Ferguson has pretty much said Berbatov is leaving. And Liverpool keep leaning toward English players and are missing a good finisher and Defoe is unsettled at Spurs. Neymar/Hulk are guesses but Chelsea will pay big for those players if needs be, especially if Mourinho joins.
