We’re down to the final 128 teams in this year’s instalment of the Members Cup as Gameweek 27 saw some big community names fall by the wayside including “Doosra”, “Back Back Ballack”s “dribbler” and “Gaz Downright”, among others.

“Evs”, now up to 20th spot in the overall rankings, navigated passed “CHUBBY” by a convincing 60 vs 41 scoreline but fellow big hitter, Jonah, slipped out of the tournament: despite being tenth in the overall FPL standings, he made way as “Dilley” put pay to his campaign by a narrow three point margin (42 vs 39).

Previous Cup winner, “Fuzzy Dunlop” is going strong thanks to a 40 vs 32 win over “DBREADY” but fellow Hall of Famer, “Kippax Kikkers”, departs the tournament, turned over by “BlzBob” in a close 38 vs 34 encounter.

As for the contributors, Paul continues to fly the flag – he made it through to Round Three thanks to a 46 vs 37 victory over Rossaldinho, as Big Dunc went out to “mcginley50”.

The draw for the next round will be published tomorrow afternoon.

        Hmm, was thinking more along the lines of City's form/last ditch charge for the title which should involve Aguero heavily.

        Getting in Lambert would leave me the odd situation of having 8.3m in the bank. Can't really complain about that though

      Aguero was absolutely shit last Sunday. I believe Ms Maradona has kicked him out of the marital bed and dossing it in some £5k per night hotel suite obviously isn't doing his form any good.

      lambert.

    I am thinking of fielding 9 for GW 29, keeping RVP, Walcott, Mata, Rafael, and Zabaleta. Fielding 9 would not require a hit. If I sell one of my benched players, it would effectively cost 8 points (no more WC, so I equate a FT to 4pts) to sell them and bring them right back. For this to make sense, I would need my "sub"/one GW punt, to score at least 8pts even to break even, which I doubt would happen. Opinions?

      It could work well. The people you'll lose out to long term are those with WC, but that was inevitable.

      We all have a few players that score 1 or 2 points each week. If you can get lucky enough to do as well as usual with the rest, it may be ok. Killer DGW team for you, short term loss, long term gain.

                Well he's close to dropping already and if he misses this weekend, which I think is 75% certain that he won't start, he will drop again due to the impending blank.

          Yup you need to make this transfer. Cisse might be getting on a roll, but is a little risky. Otherwise, you will be playing 4 at the back, Suarez is worth a little .2 or .3 for the two weeks and should score a lot. Do it especially if you think Suarez is a legit captaincy selection. Plus GW29, you will still be only playing 1 at the front.

    Does the Monday night football rule dictate that we should all buy, and captain, Aguero?

              True, what defender would you recommend if he doesn't regain his starting spot? I was thinking Dawson. Or JEnrique if I decide to not do the RVP route GW30.

      Well I have Mata, Theo, RVP, Distin and possibly Aguero (praying they rearrange the City game)

      I think I'll just bench Distin and Mata for GW29 and I'm probably going to sell RVP this week and use my 1FT on getting out Wally (and 2FT with a hit if I need to ship Aguero)

          She'll be right, mate. Two free transfers and ( hopefully ) the City game played midweek should sort it out.

    If four Blanks are confirmed for GW29, I'll have to sell one of RVP,Mata,Walcott & Zabaleta to field 11.
    Is going with 10 a good idea without selling anyone of them?

      It's very difficult to sell chelsea and arsenal players with the game the following gw. Perhaps sell RVP this gw and get him back gw30?
