Is your mini-league crown looking out of reach? Not to worry, there’s still plenty to play for, not least our second free cup competition of the season. If you missed our article earlier in the week, you should know that the qualifying round was played out this weekend but, if you’re a member, you can still enter your team and score before tomorrow morning at 9am.

Read on for details on the Members Paddy Power cup but, if you’re a veteran of such tournaments, you can go straight here to make your entry. Members will need to log in first.

What is the Paddy Power Members Cup?
The Paddy Power Members Cup is our version of the Fantasy Premier League’s Fantasy Cup game available to our members. Entrants who qualify for the first round will be randomly drawn against each other and the winner of the tie is whoever has the highest score from that Gameweek, minus points spent on transfers (like in the original game and in head-to-head scores). In the event of a tie, the Manager highest in the overall FPL standings will progress.

Do I have to be a Member to take part?
Yes. This annual tournament is provided as part of our offering to members. Obviously it’s not too late to register as a member or upgrade your account. Details on how this is done is available right here.

How do I enter?
Simply fill out the entry form here. You will be sent a confirmation email to verify your entry. You can also check that you are entered via this list.

What do I do if I run into a problem with my entry?
Please contact support@fantasyfootballscout.co.uk and we will look into any issues with your entry. Please note, we can only do this prior to the Qualifying Round. If you make an error when submitting your team id on the entry form, you may be withdrawn from the tournament so please take care when completing the form.

When does it start?
The qualifying round takes place in Gameweek 25 but you can enter after the Gameweek is played out. All entries received before 9am on Monday February 4 will be entered into the qualifying round. In this first cup competition we will have 512 qualifiers for the first round: the 512 with the top scores in Gameweek 25 will progress to the first round proper to be played in Gameweek 26. Again, FPL rank will decide who progresses in the event of tied positions.

When will I find out if I’ve qualified?

Results from the qualifying round will be published on Wednesday February 6.

What is the Gameweek Schedule
Each round of the Members Paddy Power Cup will be played out over the following schedule:

  • Qualifying – Gameweek 25
  • Round 1 – 512 teams – Gameweek 26
  • Round 2 – 256 teams – Gameweek 27
  • Round 3 – 128 teams – Gameweek 28
  • Round 4 – 64 teams – Gameweek 29
  • Round 5 – 32 teams – Gameweek 30
  • Round 6 – 16 teams – Gameweek 31
  • Quarter-Finals – 8 teams – Gameweek 32
  • Semi-Finals – 4 teams – Gameweek 33
  • The Final – 2 teams – Gameweek 34

When are the fixtures released?
The fixture list for each round will be published a day or two before each Gameweek deadline – the draw for the First Round will be expected on Thursday February 7.

Are there prizes?

Sponsors Paddy Power are supplying the competition with some great prizes and we’re supplementing these with Amazon Vouchers. The prizes break down as follows:

  • Winner – £100 worth of free bets. £100 Amazon Voucher
  • Runner-up – £50 worth of free bets. £50 Amazon Voucher
  • 3rd Place – £50 worth of free bets. £25 Amazon Voucher

In addition, the Quarter-Finalists from this tournament will gain entry to the Fantasy Football Scout Shield where they will play the eight Quarter-Finalists from this season’s earlier Paddy Power Cup. The shield tournament will start in Gameweek 35.

Cup Entrants will need a Paddy Power account and be aged 18 and over to be eligible for some of the above prizes. Prizes are also subject to Paddy Power’s terms and conditions. You can, of course, enter without being over 18 and without a Paddy Power account but will not be eligible for the free bet prizes.

If you’ve yet to register a Paddy Power account, then you can sign up via this site and get a free £20 when you register and bet £10.

    So straight after the DGW, the FPL gods have set up a cracker.
    SWA vs. NEW
    Champion vs. Challenger
    Michu vs. Sissoko

    Personally
    My first love vs. my scouted talent

    I hope my first love wins tbh.

    Felli/Pog->Sturr/Kebe for free

    Would leave 0.0m in the bank.

    Bunn
    Davies*/Zaba/Clyne
    Mata/Michu*/Bale/Walcott
    Suarez*/Sturr*/Rvp

    Bego/Kebe/Pearce/Demel

    Then Suarez/Michu->Sissoko/Kun for -4 in gw 27?

        Then there is only one way...Zaba->Enrigue and bank the 2nd FT. No way I can get all of Sturr/SG/Sisokko and keep Felli/Bale etc.

        I give up.

            I'm in no rush. Just worried about all this SG/Sturr talk. Rival has SG + Suarez, so I]m worried. Getting in Sturr(who I like more) is more difficult then getting in SG though!

              I like Sturr more too. Already made my moves so i don't have to worry. Its something i do. Post the games, its always my first instinct that does the talking. I don't want to change my mind on it which is why i make the moves early.

                    I gambled going in without him for those good fixtures. Work till yesterday but at the start of those 4 weeks if you'd have told me he'll score 2, i'd have taken it.

    Is it worth taking a hit and playing with 10 players in GW27 (only 2 defenders), rather than taking another hit to field 11?

            I agree, some big calls might have to be taken with Rooney/Kun/Sissoko/Sturr coming into form and emerging as possible alternatives to Rvp/Suarez/Michu.

            Season defining moment these.

          Yes, because I have 4 DGWs while Demel and Guthrie have gone AWOL, I only have 8 available in GW 27 lol

          Using the FT and a -4 will allow me to field 10.

          Alternatively and depends on Members Cup draw, I am thinking to mitigate this by replacing Demel/Guthrie this week (for a -4)

      I would wait until after the next potential DGW to use it... or if you are happy retaining those players and can field 11 afterwards etc, then you could use it before that deadline to load up on players...

      Would give you such an advantage being able to avoid hits for that when most would only have 2 FTs to play with

      2 games is too small a sample size to judge Moussa. Fellaini is tried and tested this season. Risky.

          Siggy last season was a different creature altogether. Yes, both were newcomers and scoring goals, but Siggy had set pieces in his locker and was a pure AM. Moussa is a box to box mid primarily.

          I see Moussa playing beside Tiote in the double pivot going forward with Cabaye or Barfa in the hole.

          Im waiting until Gibbs about to drop again for the defender swap , and doing the RVP one as late as possible.

          Main reason im changing to Enrique is that he showed today that he just about back to fulll fitness, he also gives me much better options due to the cheaper price.
          Having baines alredy , wouldnt want a 6.4 defender as well for the long term , but Enrique at a price where i would be happy to keep

          So im taking the slightly inferior choice (arguably) because it better for the long term

    After opinions folks. Already shipped RVP and Noble out for Gerrard and Suarez this week (-4). Considering taking another -4 to swap Azpilicueta out and replace with Jose Enrique. Can see the latter getting one cleanup from DGW, and whereas Azpilicueta could get one against Wigan, I fear he won't play (plus Man City following week).

    That would leave me Demel for GW27 in a back 3, so would be hoping for an injury to a WHU defender in the next three weeks!

    Fancy JE more long term vs Azpilicueta? Thoughts?

    my team is
    Bunn
    davies raphael azpili
    mata michu fellaini bale walcott
    rvp fletcher

    mignolet pog,harte,wilkinson.

    team looks good but my priority is to get maximum points in a dgw

    what to do?

    1. do fletcher to studge (injured C) and fellaini to henderson and run away
    2. do azpilli>enrique and bale>gerrard (C) then hide under the table
    3. do nothing and captain rvp and die slowly
    4.other suggestion

    Good Morning Guys,

    I am going without Sturrdige that worries me a lot. 🙁

    But still have Suarez,GJ,Gerrard,Michu and Davies that should cover it i think. 😉

          That's a great looking team. What is your team value + bank residue altogether?

    Random rumination.

    I still can't believe we were a whisper away from signing Ibra back in the day.

    Oh what could have been. Henry and Ibra, my dream strikeforce realized.

    Good morning fellas, it was an enjoyable weekend for me, aside from the fact that my team lost. 79 points overall and up to 5,440 in the rankings, my highest ever position. I am starting to get a nose bleed.

    Begovic, Bunn
    Rafael, Clichy, Davies, Pearce, Clyne
    Mata, Bale, Walcott, Fellaini, Puncheon
    van Persie, Aguero, Remy

    I have 2 FT, what to do?

    I'm thinking of taking a hit and going:
    Aguero --> Suarez
    Clichy --> Enrique
    Walcott --> Gerrard

      Bit nutsy and ballsy with the Walcott ➡ Gerrard move there. Any plans to get Walcott back into the team in the foreseeable future?
