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.

      I did it last night, taking me to a total of -12. Gives me at least four more double game wheelers than my nearest rival mind you.

        A) Wilson (MUN), Mata (ful) & 8 points

        well for one thing, you are playing a Reading defender, anything is an improvement. But is is it worth -8 for Demel? That I'm not so sure of, but I'd rather have Demel than Mariappa next 2 weeks.

          But for 4 points.

          I suppose if he plays twice I kinda break even if Marriapa hits zero points if LFC go on rampage but... Do we expect a hammer cleanie ? Or Demel assist?

    Thanks for the previous answer, so I will stick with Clichy. Now I have 9.6 for a defender and a midfielder.

    Options are:

    a) Manolev or Demel(or other defender in that price range) and a mid up to 5.6- Maloney(also have Gomez), Brunt, Routledge or other

    B) a dirt cheap defender to sit on my bench(I dont need him anyway with 4 very strong defenders) up to 5.9 mid. options are Duff, any WBA mid(Morrison,), De Guzman, Hernandez,

    In the first case I would start the defender this week, in the last case it would be the mid(or Gomez in case or WBA or SWA mids)

    Please cast some votes and thoughts.
