Having successfully negotiated a qualifying round and nine head-to-head match-ups, Fuzzy Dunlop is the Members Paddy Power Cup II champion. Deposing our previous winner Kippax Kikkers, he saw off The Lord 64 – 60 in Gameweek 33 to take the top prize.

There was so little to separate our finalists, with six of their starting eleven identical. In the end the deciding factor was Fuzzy Dunlop’s midfield duo of Theo Walcott and Antonio Valencia outscoring The Lord’s Clint Dempsey and Juan Mata by those four points that split them. A mini-game that could have gone either way. Nonetheless, congratulations to Fuzzy Dunlop!

Also in action last weekend were mch and Pablod, both looking to claim the prize for finishing third. Outscoring our finalists, their match ended in a 73 – 67 win for mch. Papiss Cisse versus Stephane Sessegnon settled this tie, with all other attacking options cancelling each other out.

So the prizes break down as follows…

  • Fuzzy Dunlop – £150 worth of free bets. £50 Amazon Voucher
  • The Lord – £75 worth of free bets. £30 Amazon Voucher
  • mch – £50 worth of free bets. £20 Amazon Voucher

Congratulations to our three prize winners and commiserations to Pablod, who leaves with nothing. A big thank you to everyone who participated, and also to SUPERIOR BEING for helping me out with the results.

Fingers crossed, the Members Paddy Power Cup will return for a third edition next season.

    Guys think it's still possible to overcome a 60pt lead at the top of my mini league?

    Leader and I have around 5 common players.

    I still have my wildcard to cause some havoc GW36.

    B) Save FT and play with 10 players and GW35 do Rooney + McClean to Cisse and Dempsey

              A colleague at work is a huge Newcastle fan. He reckons Ba is very unhappy with his current role on the wing and seems to be under the opinion that Ba will get a chance to play up front in the coming weeks.

    Right...one GW punt on a striker...Yakubu, Bendtner or Graham. Been thinking Yakubu and most have indicated yes...Graham seems the least favorable option...and Sunderland are hot and cold. Yak on penalties also but playing away to a Swansea team that may or may not be cracking. So what is the verdict then? Oh...Yak means I mirror my rival so could be viewed as a good or bad thing...I doubt he has 11 for this gameweek (possibly only 9)...I'll have a full squad barring rotation concerns...

    On your marks, get set....GO!

    Suggestions for this team? I have 10 players for GW 34 with 1 transfer:

    Mignolet (Schwarzer)

    Verm, Evans, McAuley (Simpson, Skrtel)

    Walcott, Sigurdsson, Valencia, Surman (Dempsey)

    RVP, Rooney (Cisse)

    The only DGW player I feel is worth getting rid of is maybe Skrtel. Thinking of saving the transfer as well, although 10 players with one being Surman is a little worrying...

        Would you not be tempted to bench Siggy, with McClean and Sess against Wolves?

    Well done to the two finalists. Not that I am bitter about getting the second highest in the semis and the highest in the final/play-off round!!

      I suppose because most decided on the majority of their team for this week a while back. I am just glad it's been a slghtly shorter amount of time to hold onto this FT I have.

      a) Everyone having an early night in excited anticipation of the coming GW.
      b) Everyone too depressed to even log in and comment about their dismal team for the coming GW.
      c) Everyone getting blind drunk.
      d) Some people have a life. 🙂

    Cahill > Lescott FT for this week? mini league rival has 11 players and I only have 9 at the moment.

    Or could ditch Mata and bring in Silva or Nasri?
