The 16 fixtures that make up the fifth round of the Members Paddy Power Cup II can be viewed right here. It’s the halfway stage of the competition, and with the two favourites eliminated in round four, it’s anybody’s to win at this stage.

We’ve now only got two Fantasy managers currently residing in the top 1000 overall, and they are only there by the skin of their teeth. Round three’s top-scorer, Bob Fossil, is now the man to beat sitting 941st in the world. He’s been drawn against 3,578th Fuzzy Dunlop.  Hot on Bob’s heels is 958th Daveclark85, who has also been been dealt a tough hand against 3,752nd overall howie_c.

At the other end of the spectrum, the lowest-ranked Fantasy manager in the tournament is Zizo, who sits 293,726th in the world – which itself isn’t too bad bad this season (or so I keep telling myself). Handed the ‘most favourable’ fixture is The Lord (3,352nd).

All fixtures will be played over Gameweek 29. Good luck to all.

Finally, another reminder that we’re still taking entries for the fifth Paddy Power Cup. Entry is free and open to all – full details here.

    My keeper is Schwarzer (SWA), but it's unclear which 3 to choose in defence this week:

    Evans (wol) Skrtel (qpr) Richards (CHE) Santon (NOR) Kelly (SWA)

    I don't want to double up on Fulham by playing the guy who must die, so it's probably between Richards and Santon.

      Well I am playing Schwarzer, Evans and Skrtel

      I can't see either keeping a CS so it may come down to who will concede less or get attacking points.

        Really don't see any of them keeping a CS?? I was thinking they were strong candidates. Liverpool and United matches are two of the best defences in the league against two of the worst attacks). Even for Schwarzer, Swansea's away scoring record is quite poor, Fulham's home conceded record pretty good.

            Oh fair enough lol. Richards then I guess? He is attacking as hell. He will be up against Ashley Cole though who is solid enough.

        Really can't double up with Kelly and Schwarzer against Swansea, I'd be willing to gamble on one but not two. Which would you pick between Richards and Santon?

    I currently have Evans and Rooney?

    I'm thinking 2 man u defenders is safer than a rotation risk midfielder.

        That's what I'll be going with. I've held on to lindegard but if de gea stays in goal they're not keeping cleanies. Best to go with 2 attackers but keep Evans for value.

          de gea is a different keeper now than at the start of the season IMO, more confident under high ball and coming for corners etc which was his problem
