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.

    Here's a spreadsheet I made earlier which might be of help to some of you:
    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AkAlIxhTskzadFNRVnlLY2x2RVl6a1FVVkx4MU5LWXc&usp=sharing

    It lists Shots, Shots on Target and Key Passes for each of the mids and forwards I was trying to choose between on my WC in their last five games (matches where they were injured or suspended are not included but matches where they were on the bench are). It then totals the stats in each category and then totals all shots, shots on target and key passes for each player to give an absolute total.

    This total is then used to calculate their relative value using their total / current price. Obviously the value changes slightly if you bought them at a lower price than they are currently. Of course it's by no means perfect but it might help sway some tough decisions.

        Sadly not particularly since there's so little between RVP and Cazorla. RVP has put up better numbers than Caz overall over the last 5 despite being out of form (likely because Santi shares points with teammates more than RVP does), but Santi's biggest games have been at home and he has two home games this week.

        If I could guarantee 180 minutes for both I'd go RVP but I worry about RVP's minutes...

            I actually sold Bale last week, I plan to get him back for Cazorla or another midfielder in 2 weeks, I'll also sell RVP to fund it.

            I was considering Rooney just already had RVP so decided to give him one last walk of fame before definitely selling 🙂

        And I think that once MUN secure the title, De Gea is rotation prone.
