With over 1,400 entries received, Gameweek 29 has whittled down the first round participants of the Paddy Power Cup VI to just 512. A qualifying score of 56 was required to guarantee a first round berth alongside our five former champions. For those scoring 55 you need to click here for the full results, and nervously scroll down towards the 500 mark.

On with the draw then, and the full set of 256 fixtures can be viewed right here.

The former cup winners are always the ones to watch – especially the defending champion – and it’s Tommyboy that is charged with the giant-killing of Paddy Power Cup V winner sleepingmaster.

Before sleepingmaster it was Ninja_Fit_Saints who wore the crown, and he’s involved in what is arguably the tie of the round against Marvellus.

Our inaugural winner, donnellyc, is now making his fifth attempt at regaining his title. His first hurdle this time round is jon13597493.

Now on the books with the Scout, Paddy Power Cup II winner Jonty closed the 2009/10 season on the ultimate high. He’s once again looking to reach those heights, and it’s Mull standing in his way.

Perhaps the biggest name of them all though is Gooner dave. Not only did he win the third edition of this competition, but he threatened to lift the Members version several weeks later. Looking to stop the juggernaut immediately in his tracks is ralphypne.

All ties are to be played across Gameweek 30. Good luck to all 512 fantasy managers competing in round one, and commiserations to those missing the cut on this occasion.

    Vorm (Al-Habsi)
    Evans Kelly Simpson (2.Taiwo 3.Riise)
    Silva Bale Mata Dempsey
    RVP Sturridge Ba

    1 free transfer and 0.5 in the bank.

    Want to get rid of either Ba or Sturridge for Odemwingie. Who should i get rid of?
    I'm thinking of a 4pt hit of Dempsey > Valencia(C) because I really need the points! Is it worth it?

    Anyone else addicted to this New Star Soccer iPhone game? I only download it this morning and I reckon I've lost about 10 productive hours in the day already on the career mode

    If you have anything important you need doing do not download it under any circumstances, if you ever lost half your life to Championship Manager back in the day this is a similar danger

      I don't understand betting odds - my brain is too fluffy. Is 10/1 better or worse than 4/1. Serious question.

        10/1 = less chance than 4/1.

        10-1 = around 9% chance; 4-1 = 20% chance. Well, from their perspective of course

    Can anybody help?

    Unfortunately I have to play either Dempsey or Pogrebnyak, which do you think is more likely to get anything ( I know either is unlikely!)

    Your considered opinions are appreciated

    Team is:

    Vorm
    Skertl, BAE, Simpson (Rangel, Bardsley)
    Bale, Valencia, Sigurdsson, Walcott -Poss Dempsey?
    RVP, Roonpig – Poss Pogrebnyak?

      Sharpy that's a tough one. I don't Pogs as being likely to get much of the ball, so I'd go with Dempsey..

      I can’t believe how similar my opponent’s team is to mine in the PP cup. We’ve even both captained RVP.

      Who wins from what is left?

      Me: Reina and Enrique
      Bungle: Vorm and Ba
