First of all, apologies for the tardiness of this particular article, with all the excitement building up to the double Gameweek, we missed the fact that it failed to post earlier, resigning it to a sleepy Friday night slot. Better late than never, here’s how the Quarter-Finals of the Members Cup played out, together with the draw for the semi-final stages.

The last eight saw some very tight affairs, with “Maddocio” edging through in his clash with “mospace” by just the odd point. Former Members Cup winner, “Fuzzy Dunlop” experienced the agony of a two point defeat to “12 inch of fury”, while there was just four points separating the sides in our other pair of ties, as community posters and the top ranked managers remaining, “Acquafresca” and “Eunuch Jelly”, both made progress.

Semi-Final Draw

1MaddocioVsAcquafresca
2Eunuch JellyVs12 inch of fury

Eunuch Jelly, ranked 214 in the world, must surely be the favourite for the double Gameweek semi-final, he faces up to the Kiwi “12 inch of fury” in the last four, a player ranked some 16,000 places below him but armed with a Wildcard and 4.3 in the bank. That leaves “Acquafresca” and “Maddocio” to contest for the other coveted place in our final.

These ties will be played out over the fixtures spanning this weekend and midweek, with the final and third-place playoff taking place in Gameweek 34, before the last eight of this cup meet the last eight of our earlier cup tournament in the first Fantasy Football Scout shield.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

              Took a twelve last season at one point too and it worked out alright. To be honest, I'm only interested in my mini league. Currently top and clear by 41. My nearest rival has one double gameweek player and two free transfers, which he's used, so I'm thinking he has three doublers now. Mert to Sagna would give me my seventh, and I'd start the gameweek 29 ahead of him.

      in my opinion, while it's a good team for this week, you're not fixing some of the problems in your team...such as Harte and Wilson, who are basically non-players.

      But go for it, it's a good team for this week

    If someone from a week in the future came back and told you tonight that RVP will get 6 points against Stoke, followed by 6 points against West Ham, would you captain him and take the 24 points, or would you take a risk and captain Santi, or Rooney, or Fellaini, or whoever and hope that whoever you captained would get more than 24 points?

    I’d play safe and take the guaranteed RVP 24 points. That’s not a bad DGW haul.

      Stoke will lose, but they never concede many. West Ham love to turn it up against Man U at home too....

    Is it crazy to do Suarez to Mirallas if on a WC?

    I think its interesting a lot of people piling on the hits to bring in extra DGWers. You need the new player to get at least 4 pts more than the old one (or the player who would have played). This is not as easy as you may think. And each subsequent transfer generally has diminishing returns as you do the best transfers first (if you see what I mean).

        that's why I'm getting out players that I can guarantee won't score more than 0 points

          Good. But you have to compare with the player who would have played, not necessarily the one being sold. Eg may have been the player now first on your bench.

        And, things are further complicated if you are taking out players with possible future DGWs themselves, like Michu, Mata, etc.
