FFS Paddy Power Cup – Semi Final Results
Filed under: Fantasy Football Scout Cup - Posted by: Mark
The Semi-Finals of the Paddy Power Fantasy Football Scout Cup VII were finally completed last night after Chelsea and Southampton’s 2-2 draw at the Bridge. We find a familiar name in the final, with site regular Wild Rover clinching his place thanks to a 94-75 win over Mr KK…
Now up to 146th in the overall Fantasy Premier League (FPL) standings, Wild Rover’s decision to wield his winter wildcard for double Gameweek 22 paid off handsomely, with Demba Ba, Rickie Lambert, Juan Mata, Luke Shaw and David Luiz all racking up the returns. He loaded up on three double Gameweek 23 players last week (Joe Cole, Guy Demel and Bacary Sagna) and has already made a transfer prior to Saturday’s deadline.
Nevertheless, Wild Rover remains the underdog for the final – a clear sign of the level of competition in this year’s Scout Cup. Standing in his way of the silverware is MileHigh, who has now moved up to 18th in the world and arrives in the final courtesy of a 90-69 win over Ange1Range1. MileHigh also had five players for last week’s double, with Ba, Mata, Shaw and Luiz joined by Jason Puncheon. He still has his wildcard intact but already has four players (Theo Walcott, Kieran Gibbs, Mark Noble and Guy Demel) in his squad for the upcoming double, with a free transfer still to play.
With both sides looking well-placed to take advantage of Arsenal and West Ham’s respective pair of fixtures, we’re set for quite a battle all the way through to Wednesday evening’s fixture at the Emirates.
On behalf of Fantasy Football Scout, good luck to you both.
Meanwhile, Mr.KK and ange1range1 are left to settle matters in the third place play-off.
| 1 | ange1range1 | 69 – 90 | MileHigh |
| 2 | Wild rover | 94 – 75 | Mr.KK |

GARRIDO IS THE NEW BAINES says:
So, is Suarez-RvP-Aguero the ideal forward line?
January 17 at 5:14 pm
Aosni says:
Im trying to get that, assuming Aguero is on Form
January 17 at 5:15 pm
GARRIDO IS THE NEW BAINES says:
I can WC for it, tempted to drop Suarez for Sturridge though…
January 17 at 5:18 pm
Kosteevo says:
Do it. You can always drop to Sturridge at a later stage. Just need Aguero to be starting.
January 17 at 5:15 pm
Andrew says:
The rest of your team would suffer somewhat if you spent £35M on those 3

ATHLETICO TIMBO. Top 10,000 any season 2nd Wildcard league 16771-553963 says:
I don’t think there is one at the mo. Suarez now has the Sturridge effect to consider and aguero needs to prove himself first since he’s done little all season. Looked decent last 2 games mind.
January 17 at 5:17 pm
Phaze 1 says:
Too costly. Maybe get Sturridge over Suarez
January 17 at 5:18 pm
Count Of Monte Hristo - "Corner the market, then raise the price. Simple economics" (Heisenberg, 2009) says:
Not necessary imo. Dzeko and Sturridge are equally good alternatives to Suarez and Kun. Even Rooney will be a great option as will Ba.
January 17 at 5:31 pm
Jonny T says:
will have RVP aguero sturridge for my WC
January 17 at 5:15 pm
Crouch Potato says:
For those considering C Cole, Andy Carroll may feature v QPR http://www.clubcall.com/west-h.....2515.html?
January 17 at 5:16 pm
Andrew says:
Wow ClubCall I just had a major flashback to my childhood days, didnt realise it was still going.
January 17 at 5:15 pm
Lou C Goosey says:
Any wildcard advice?
Begovic (Rudd)
Zab Gibbs Demel Davies Clyne
Walcott Cazorla Michu Fellaini Mata
RVP Saurez Ruiz
planning on Cazorla > Bale or Gerrard after DGW
January 17 at 5:20 pm
Phaze 1 says:
Bunn over Rudd. Maybe look at Turner over Clyne as they have better fixtures. Is ‘Saurez’ new to the league?
January 17 at 5:27 pm
Lou C Goosey says:
thanks – need work on my spelling
January 17 at 5:39 pm
Jonny T says:
ruiz to remy
if you cannot afford that do gibbs to sagna or suarez to sturridge so that you can
January 17 at 5:16 pm
Gimli son of Gloin says:
Anybody contemplating a Podolski captaincy?
January 17 at 5:17 pm
Andrew says:
Contemplated it but think I’ll stick with Theo
January 17 at 5:19 pm
GARRIDO IS THE NEW BAINES says:
Tempted by a bit of Carroll
January 17 at 5:19 pm
Phaze 1 says:
Hell no
January 17 at 5:16 pm
Phaze 1 says:
Team ready for the weekend? I don’t really fancy Ba-> Pod anymore so thinking I could save my FT to maybe bring in Aguero next GW
Jassi
Demel, Gibbs, Davies
Walcott(c), Mata, Michu, Fellaini, Bale
RVP, Ba
Bego, Lambert, Azpilicueta, Harte
January 17 at 5:18 pm
Gimli son of Gloin says:
Remy has been added to the game at 6.0!!
Bargain maybe?
January 17 at 5:19 pm
GARRIDO IS THE NEW BAINES says:
looks very good, especially with tarabt behind him
January 17 at 5:20 pm
Kosteevo says:
6!! Very nice, if he can stay fit he may also help bring out more in Taraabt.
January 17 at 5:20 pm
Zat Knight Rises says:
Cheaper than I predicted but unproven in a struggling team
January 17 at 5:21 pm
Phaze 1 says:
could be interesting. Needs to do something first before I jump on
January 17 at 5:23 pm
stupendous says:
Lamah has been added at 5.5m too. I have no clue about that one.
Remy is very appealing, but not yet.
January 17 at 5:28 pm
Crouch Potato says:
If they get M’Villa (other clubs now in for him) then he becomes a prospect. Far from match fit, defiantly a watching brief.
January 17 at 5:21 pm
stupendous says:
How many points would this lot get this weekend
Reina
Skrtel Sagna Zaba
Pienaar Gerrard Silva Cazorla
Rooney Podolski Torres
I am extremely bored, and have just seen what could be done with no template, and no RVP.
January 17 at 5:23 pm
Hot Sauce says:
I like this team actually!
January 17 at 5:31 pm
stupendous says:
I know, if you had a wildcard every week it would be quite decent!!
January 17 at 5:25 pm
Crouch Potato says:
Forget Torres, was crap with regular starts, won’t even get those now.
January 17 at 5:25 pm
Kosteevo says:
Anti-template! Nice look for the weekend but prob requires too many changes in the long run.
January 17 at 5:28 pm
wakey says:
Yeah good…be nice to see a few more…
January 17 at 5:28 pm
Phaze 1 says:
2
2, 8, 6
2, 5, 3, 8
2, 9, 1
=48 + cap points
January 17 at 5:31 pm
wakey says:
Mine is pretty much as anti template as it get’s on here…but still manage to average 53 pts/week..not bad.. but capt choices become an issue…
January 17 at 5:32 pm
Gimli son of Gloin says:
Just tried it myself and got
Begovic Reina
Kompany Rafael Baines Debuchy Cole
Hazard Snodgrass Lennon Johnson Nani
Remy Cisse Surridge.
It would be a very exciting team to have every week to be honest.
January 17 at 5:37 pm
wakey says:
brill…
January 17 at 5:38 pm
stupendous says:
Remy Cisse Sturridge…wow how different. That back five would give you selection nightmares.
Kompany Rafa n Baines then upgrading some others.
To be fair i’d love to play a whole season like this, but it would be heart-racing every single week, and you’d miss the huge hauls that RVP and Bale and co. get on occasion.
January 17 at 5:22 pm
Hot Sauce says:
If Cavani goes to Arsenal he goes straight into my team.
Ba/Lambert out for Giroud/podolski Worth the -4???
January 17 at 5:29 pm
Phaze 1 says:
LOL to the first comment. Don’t think the hit is worth it. Just pick 1
January 17 at 5:22 pm
Eboue Skills School says:
Did Luiz >Zab over ba to pod- crazy?
January 17 at 5:34 pm
Jonny T says:
zab should outscore luiz, but pod will outscore ba by more
January 17 at 5:24 pm
shirtless says:
Think I’m going to punt on Cuellar>Tomkins, take my 0.1 profit on Carlos, and pray for a double cleanie with Demel vs QPR!!!
Think Cuellar going anyway when I wildcard. Can’t afford any other DGW’ers unless I sell Tevez. So that gets me four out anyway…
January 17 at 5:30 pm
Jonny T says:
i have done the same but got in potts
although he is 1st sub atm
January 17 at 5:29 pm
colonel shoe says:
if o brien doesnt play i dont think its worth taking a hit to get another whm player in…..ill have to hope for the best
January 17 at 5:29 pm

Chances to Chamakh (West Ham) start this weekend?
January 17 at 5:29 pm

King Nil Miss ✩ says:
Stupid algorithm program saying that I should bench Sagna…
January 17 at 5:33 pm
Feed the Yak and he will score says:
you should. Jenkinson will get one game #justguessing
January 17 at 5:33 pm
JKisthe1 - A Founder of Berbism says:
so Remy @ 6 million. Can I interest anyone?
January 17 at 5:35 pm
GARRIDO IS THE NEW BAINES says:
Yep, so tempted by RvP-Sturridge-Remy and an insane midfield and defence
January 17 at 5:36 pm
Jonny T says:
that is a good idea. although i want city attacking coverage which is not really provided in midfield.
January 17 at 5:38 pm
GARRIDO IS THE NEW BAINES says:
fair point, you could go for either those three strikers and silva for a potentially devastating midfield differential or dzeko, who looks like great value atm
January 17 at 5:40 pm
Jonny T says:
yep, i would have concerns about QPR’s ability to create the chances and the fixture proof. But if it fund the power 5 then..
January 17 at 5:35 pm
Jonny T says:
keep calm and don’t get any QPR strikers yet.
January 17 at 5:33 pm
colonel shoe says:
anyone holding ba or is it going to be a headache not worth buyin into?
January 17 at 5:36 pm
Never Ever Bench Michu !! says:
don’t know wat to do .. already used my wildcard
bego bunn
gibbs demel davies luiz shaw
bale mata walcott michu punch
rvp ba lambert
I like this team but am thinking is walcott gibbs and demel enough for dgw ! still have 2ft ??
January 17 at 5:38 pm
Jonny T says:
ba to pod seems obvious to me, if you happy to follow the crowd
January 17 at 5:39 pm
Never Ever Bench Michu !! says:
thats the thing I want to try something different !
January 17 at 5:42 pm
Jonny T says:
RVP to pod
it is different.
Puncheon to marveux as a 2 week punt
January 17 at 5:38 pm
Never Ever Bench Michu !! says:
remy could b the new michu …lol
January 17 at 5:39 pm
Feed the Yak and he will score says:
how?
January 17 at 5:41 pm
Never Ever Bench Michu !! says:
hes cheap and has potential to score a lot of goals !
January 17 at 5:43 pm
Jonny T says:
although he isn’t spanish, isn’t classed as a midfielder, didn’t cost only 2million and doesn’t play for swansea
but i see your point
January 17 at 5:45 pm
Never Ever Bench Michu !! says:
lol ! true there mate
January 17 at 5:47 pm
Feed the Yak and he will score says:
my point
January 17 at 5:38 pm
Count Of Monte Hristo - "Corner the market, then raise the price. Simple economics" (Heisenberg, 2009) says:
Berbatov, Ruiz, Lambert, Lukaku, Remy
Can’t remember so many good cheap striker options.
January 17 at 5:40 pm
Feed the Yak and he will score says:
..sturridge
January 17 at 5:41 pm
cruzex says:
why sturridge?
Will he start on next game?!!?
January 17 at 5:44 pm
Jonny T says:
yes, norwich = perfect chance to get his eye in
January 17 at 5:46 pm
Feed the Yak and he will score says:
He has played more than Remy so why not.
January 17 at 5:41 pm
Kosteevo says:
Fletcher..
January 17 at 5:41 pm
The Parmtree says:
Who was there last season?
Yakubu, Holt….
January 17 at 5:43 pm
★FC Borecelona★ says:
Sturridge was decent for a while
January 17 at 5:46 pm
cruzex says:
sturridge isnt a good bet..
January 17 at 5:39 pm
Crouch Potato says:
Norwich make a bid in the region of 5mil for Graham, ssn.
January 17 at 5:40 pm
Kosteevo says:
The fight for Danny Graham is on!! Norwich offer in region of 5m. SSN Sources.
January 17 at 5:42 pm
ronburgundy says:
Bale, Mata, Fellaini, Walcott (DGW), Nolan(DGW)
Lukaku, Suarez, Ba
Who to drop for forthcoming GW?!?!
January 17 at 5:43 pm
Gimli son of Gloin says:
Ba probably.. Torres might start. Then again he might not and then you’ll be hiding behind your sofa come Sunday.
January 17 at 5:47 pm
ronburgundy says:
I know man, it’s a proper ballache! Was even thinking of benching Fellaini away to Soton. Am I insane?!
January 17 at 5:45 pm
Gimli son of Gloin says:
It really doesn’t feel like 4 games since a Michu attacking return.
Bench Michu or Lambert this GW?
January 17 at 5:49 pm
ronburgundy says:
Bench Lamborghini imo

Interesting summary on Walcotts efforts v Swansea, my personal view the crucial factor is that he gets plenty of chances, on another day he would have scored at least 2, http://bleacherreport.com/arti.....t-swansea?
