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.

        Is their going to be any way you can set your preferences as to how you want HoF to be calculated? For eg-:Remove my first few years? I'd rather have a blank, than have those incomplete years count. And so many people join in the midst of the year for their first time, surely that could be ignored.

            I don't think I even looked at overall rank till 3-4 years back....So we won the mini-leagues, and then we quit. And plus I played on another account, which is now inactive.

            It just feels harsh that giving up years back in FPL is now gonna come and haunt me.

    Interesting quotes from Rooney just surfaced on Swansea performance....

    “I could feel it [was not one of my best days] on the pitch...Some days you have an off day and I could feel that out there. I have no problems with getting substituted because it was not one of my best games....Of course, the thing about football — especially over the Christmas period — is that you have a game every few days to put things right. The Swansea game has gone for me and it is certainly not one I will remember. I will just move on to the next one.”

    It's in the Times article behind the paywall but for those with a sub...

    the article headline is "Wayne Rooney seeks to regain his touch against Newcastle"

      Very interesting - prior to this article, the prevailing opinion (with good reason) was that Rooney would sit out the next game. However, Rooney's psychology lends itself to a player who responds singularly to heavy criticism, rather than a consoling 'arm over the shoulder' - and what better way than to put it right the next game.

      Did my transfers last week to get RVP & Rooney together; then I backed off. With both on 4 yellows, both could get booked again tomorrow and then neither could play v West Brom. Seems like one is going to give way for the Toon game...

        Agreed. It came down to Enrique v Nastasic. Stoke Liverpool 0-0 IMO.

        Yes I could rest Ba or Snodgrass but that would be uncomfortable. These things often are taken out of your hands. Someone wont play 3 games in 6 days, most probably one of my City players.

      UGH, youre gonna get some points on the bench. But id probably bench Enrique or Nasta as Zaba and Luiz have more attacking threat.

      This is the time of the year when the top teams batten down the hatches and look for low scoring wins.
