Paddy Power Cup VI – The Grand Final

11 May 2012 637 comments

Akers

It’s here. After ten gruelling stages, we’re down to the final two participants of the Paddy Power Cup VI. Gameweek 37 saw our final four lock horns in the Semi-Finals. Here’s how they played out…

1. Optimus 45 – 69 mch

Both Optimus and mch nailed the captaincy for Gameweek 37, with the irrepressible Robin van Persie delivering the goods once again. The difference ultimately was mch’s relegation-threatened players proving they still had some fight left in them. A double Queens Park Rangers clean sheet, along with a bundle of points courtesy Martin Petrov puts him in the Grand Final.

2. DrD 53 – 49 ajay_kl

Joining mch is DrD after his razor-thin four-point victory over ajay_kl. Again, both Fantasy managers backed the Dutchmen with their captaincy, but what separated them was just the odd point here and there. An extra save point, a midfielder clean sheet, and Wayne Rooney’s assist was the difference.

So, the Gameweek 38 fixtures are as follows…

The Grand Final

mch (1,225th overall) Vs. DrD (1,260th)

3rd Place Play-Off

Optimus (1,676th) Vs. ajay_kl (42,029th)

In terms of overall standings it’s our closest ever final, with just 35 Fantasy Premier League places and a single point between mch and DrD.

Here’s a reminder of what’s at stake, courtesy of Paddy Power and ourselves…

Winner – £150 worth of free bets. £50 Amazon Voucher
Runner-up – £75 worth of free bets. £30 Amazon Voucher
3rd Place – £50 worth of free bets. £20 Amazon Voucher

Good luck to all four managers competing in this final Gameweek of the 2011/12 season!

        Since his return Tevez has been the one who has dragged City to the finishing line... by the scruff of their collective necks...
        
        If he hadn't been such an absolute tit early season he would have been their top scorer again...
        
        but having said that... Aguero is .4 cheaper and i want to bring Torres in too... so i'll have to pass on Tevez...

  Ok fair enough everyone, just wanted to go for a differential in order to rise up as far as possible, Aguero is not going to help me do that as it appears everyone around and above me is making that move.
  
  I am also thinking of Eagles, as he is more than capable of double figure scores.

        Nope, although I don't dislike him sufficiently to leave him out of my fantasy football team! He's an idiot who displays an arrogance which is completely inappropriate to his ability as a footballer and a human being as far as I can see. Possibly a bit harsh but it's just my opinion.

      Maybe they're going on Blackburn's overall scoring form this season - they've not drawn a blank very often and Chelsea are likely to take it fairly easy to avoid injuries for the Champions League final.

I'm tempted to take a hit either in defence or midfield, my defence looks very weak but surely a hits not worth it in the last week?
Silva or nasri tempt me too but then I have an even bigger selection headache, guess I'd drop pie as I have jelly anyway.

How much more do you think the field will narrow next season? I suppose only fpl towers could tell us, but how much has the points spread for 'players' (active teams) narrowed over the last 2 years now that RMT has become standard, even for bored housewives like me?

How much closer and higher do we expect averages to be next year?

  I'm stuck most of year in 65-100k band, v hard to get out of it, admitettedly some poor capt choices coupled with Dempsey/cisse has cost me but I understand where your coming from in terms of 'the game narrowing ' due to similar teams, maybe HQ can develop a strategy going forward.

    Yes, it wuold be for a hit.
    
    I'm tempted by Norwich against a lacklusture Villa, but unfortunately Lambert loves his rotation policy...

        Tevez hasn't done much the last 3 gameweeks, I should know coz he cost me my ML lead when I got him instead of Petrov so I have a grouse. Try Brunt to Maloney, I suspect he has something up his sleeve and look particularly at his home form.

        Thanks for the input. Maybe I'm too blinded by City's fixture.
        
        I already own Maloney, so if Wigan, then Beuasejour.
        
        If Norwich, then Hoolahan/Pilkington.
        
        Or a random punt on Scholes.
        
        I see those as my best optins. Agree? Who'd u prefer?

        Out of that lot it has to be Pilkington he is due a start and a goal. Scholes has got his goal already last week expect another next season (if he continues) and I don't see Hoolahan repeating the trick and to be honest. By the way, I really think people are under estimating the Villa defence.

Ruddy
Huth Verm Rafael
Bale VDV Siggy Eagles
Adebayor RVP(c) D.Cissé

Howard McClean Lichaj Coloccini

1FT 0.3 in the bank. It needs City coverage but I'm not sure how to go about doing it...any thoughts?

Ok only 7 or 8 points behind my rival. Both have RVP/Cisse/Roon, and Bale/Demps in midfield. I have Sinclair who is fine this week, he has Valencia. I have Sess to his Moses. Should I block him off with Sess to Moses and hope other players outscore his, or Sess to Petrov for a punt?

Have thought Demps to Silva and captain as a major punt but all my punts blow up in my face I seem to do better taking the steady steady approach! So RVP captain for me this week and hope he doesn't as last week he did Roon which worked well for me...

      With only 7/8 points behind, you're not that depending on a big differential, but still u two got pretty similar teams. So if ure not too keen on a hit, then probably just do Demps-->Nasri/Silva, or Sess-->Ramires. And RVP(c).

Morning all

I'm playing catch up with my brother who has a 14 point lead, any suggestions..

I have

Begovic/Defries

Hibbert/Huth/Vermallen
Bale/Dempsey/RVD/Pienar
Rooney/Adebayour/Jellyfish

He has

Vorm
Terry/Vermalen/Lescott
Bale/Demspey/Scholes/Moses (Siggy on the bench)
RVP/Rooney/Jellyfish

I was thinking of doing the following as I reckon he will be bringing Aguero in

Rooney out Tevez in
And then
Dempsey out and either Silva or Nasri in.

What do you guys reckon.

Cheers in advance

Just inside the top 10k for the 3rd season and plan on staying there!!
I would just like to say thanks to everyone in this community for help over the year!

Final gameweek situation = 16points clear of rival to win €250
My team = Schwartzer - Migs
Evans - BAE - Enrique - Ream - McAuley (terrible defence, 2pts last week)
Moses - Bale - VDV - Dempsey - Siggy (All 5 look good)
RVP - Rooney - Jelavic (All 3 look good)

I free transfer... Feeling rival will bring in Aguero (c) so prob need to combat that..

His differentials are = Begovic, Ruddy, Walker, Vauldwell, Caulker, Barfa, Petrov, P Cisse..

What do you guys think, one last piece of advice to bring home the bacon / dolla dolla bills!!

  28 points is a lot. You need to sell players you have in common and bring in high scoring differentials.
  
  Which of your players does the other guy also have? Take one hit or maybe 2 to sell those guys and captain someone like Tevez or Torres.
