Gameweek 18 saw the last sixteen in the Paddy Power Cup go head-to-head, with a place in the Quarter-Finals and the inaugural Fanatsy Football Scout shield at stake. The results saw the top ranked player again make ominous progress, while notable names from the community also found safe passage…

Iyad Zahlan’s “Giavara555” saw off the plucky challenge of legriff to make it into the last eight to become the name that everyone wants to avoid in the draw. He’ll be joined by JMS, placed just 29 places behind him in the overall FPL rankings – another name the rest of the pack will hope to skip in next round. That heavy-hitting pair are joined by ange1range1, Wild Rover, MileHigh, Mr.KK, Ricky smokes let’s go and Tommy Tynan’s left shin pad in the last eight. All those teams now qualify for the draw for the Shield tournament, where they will be facing the final eight in the Members Cup which starts early next year.

The full results from the last sixteen are below with the draw for the Quarter-Finals due on Thursday, ahead of Gameweek 20. Tomorrow’s Gameweek gives our remaining cup participants a brief rest period, then, before the last eight do battle in the matches played out in Gameweek 20 over the December 29 and 30 matches.

Congrats to our last sixteen winners.

      I think there is. He hasn't played for 3 months in serie A and he's on big wages. Similar to when Real were desperate to get rid of VDV, Spurs can offer him first team football and probably Champions League. London would also appeal to his wife, who is yet another Dutch stunner.

    I know Rooney is raring to go for Newcastle, but I still reckon RVP will play. He had a bad game against Swansea so I think he might be given a rest with Welbeck/ Chicarito coming in. Guess it's 50/50 though since Ferguson picks the team

    I really don't get the HoF...People with consistently good rankings will love it, those with a dodgy year or two (me) won’t. Simple as that. The people who have consistently good rankings are obviously top players and deserve recognition... But those with a bad year or two are not necessarily bad players … So many players have had bad years for various reasons, not playing due to personal issues, just starting and not having a clue, starting late, unaware of this site, experimenting etc...

    Not sure what the point of it is... 😕

      While a bad position in the HoF may not be indicative of how 'good' someone is, the simple fact is you know a good position = top player. I guess if an opinion is given by a top player, you'd accept it with more confidence. As long as you know that disregarding a comment from someone with a poor HoF placing shouldn't necessarily be the way to go!

          Oh, I won! 🙂

          It was me and another guy in with a chance to win it still, and we got 5 answers out of 8 correct and the other guy got less. Lovely stuff, won free entrance to a club all year and a bunch of records.

          I went with a few of the suggestions I had on here but in the end they weren't correct. The missing bands were Chicks on Speed (yellow), Swedish mainstream rock band Sahara Hotnights (red) and Finnish indie poppers Cats on Fire (marked with a 9).

          I much appreciate the effort people put in still!

              Yeah they're a bit obscure I suppose, but with bands like Oasis in the mix I didn't know that they would be too tricky.

              Anyway, time to decide if Bale & Berb are worth -4 or not....

      Won't be good for me, but I can see the point. I think it is worth celebrating those who have been consistently good, and they will be high in the rankings; for the rest of us we can either try to get some consistency and get up there or ignore it. I have four straight years of casual, unaware-of-ffs mediocrity before this one, so I will struggle to make an impact (especially if this year decends to mediocrity as well!). But it will be interesting being able to look up those with long, consistent records. What would not be useful is if one-year wonders (with no history behind them) get high ranks as well.

          Ruiz is back sooner rather than later. Berba will at least get you two points.... most likely outscoring Hernandez anyway. Even if Ruiz is out, all you need is a penalty or maybe Fulham might create something decent from open play?! 😮

        I mean Rooney, RVP, A Young, Valencia are all in line for at least 1 game on the bench in the next 3 and he is the next option in that front line, with Kags and Welbeck getting games too

    Any Fulham fans around?

    Is Kacaniklic likely to play? Need to get rid of Maloney, tempted by either him or Sidwell for a week.

      The Fox one? It's a US sponsorship thing maybe.

      It was pre-organised as the Overall League is 303 http://fantasy.premierleague.com/my-leagues/303/standings/ The cup is 304, that Fox one is 305 and I made the first custom one, 306 as soon as it opened.

      Very tempting to do Ruddy to Bego for a hit and play him over Migs. 4-pointer not worth it just to beat the price rise, but any chance of a cleanie tomorrow?
