FANTASY FOOTBALL SCOUT CUP VIII – FIRST ROUND DRAW REMINDER

Last weekend, we announced the draw for the First Round of the Fantasy Football Scout Cup VIII, as sponsored by Paddy Power. If you entered and have yet to discover whether you qualified, a score of 56 points (after hits) in Gameweek 11 was enough to clinch a place in the knockouts – though a few qualified on 55 points thanks to their high overall ranking.

The ties get underway this weekend in a Gameweek that stretches over three days, starting with a Saturday lunchtime Merseyside derby at Goodison Park and ending on Monday night, as West Brom entertain midlands rivals Villa at the Hawthorns.

With a new Cup system now in place thanks to behind-the-scenes work from our site developer Ed, we can monitor how the ties are shaping up as the Gameweek progresses. This gives us the chance to roll out updates after the final match of each day to show who is closing in on a place in the next round and who is facing elimination.

Later in the tournament we’ll even be considering live draws on the podcast, giving a name-check to those closing in on the prize. Once again, click here for a full rundown of the First Round Draw.

As the schedule begins to pick up pace over the winter, here’s a reminder of the relevant dates:

Winner – £100 worth of free bets. £100 Amazon Voucher
Runner-up – £50 worth of free bets. £50 Amazon Voucher
3rd Place – £50 worth of free bets. £25 Amazon Voucher

In addition, the top scoring manager from each round will win a £25 free bet from Paddy Power on supply of their Paddy Power username.

Cup Entrants will need a Paddy Power account and be aged 18 or over to be eligible for some of the above prizes. Prizes are also subject to Paddy Power’s terms and conditions. You can, of course, enter without being over 18 and without a Paddy Power account but will not be eligible for the free bet prizes.

              From Wenger's comments, it sounds like Walcott is more likely to start from the bench Saturday, bit of a nightmare...

                If you on your wildcard I guess it was the right move to save a transfer and get him in but surely you couldn't have tought it would start. 2 days away from the game week and not a single word on him starting.

                    Both have goal threat. Depends on your team and were you need coverage. Personally I'm not a fan of either D right now both seem to leaky.

                    Southampton, Everton and Spurs fixture in the next couple weeks aren't great. And don't look prime for clean sheets. May look to get one of your southampton d out and Dawson over the next gw.

                  Ahhhhhhh I think I've finally understood how the FPL "Form" value is calculated. I always used to be confused that it looked like it averaged over the last 4 weeks for some players and 3 for others, sometimes 5.

                  I just noticed under the Statistics tab it has a link to "Form (30 days average) »"

                      That's more like it, guess it boils down to whether Olsson, Remy and Sessegnon can outscore Zaba, Lallana and Lukaku by 8 points. Odds are stacked against!

                  So I'm in the market for a new defender.

                  Who out of this rabble should I get and why?

                  I have 6.9 to spend

                  Mertesacker

                  Evans

                  Evra

                  Mcauley

                  Jagielka.

                  Currently favouring mertesacker. But open to offers.

                  Not interested in gj as I have mign.

                    McAuley. Decent fixtures. Good form. West Brom hitting some sort of form

                    Avoid Arsenal defenders - CS don't matter enough to them and they've been dropping the CS ball against even the small teams. Even last year's much-trumpeted good CS record was joint 3rd, 14 CS. I don't see it improving this year.

                    Between McAuley and Evans for me - both got good goal threat at corners (especially former) and I see them getting a decent number of CS over the next 6.

                        All season I've been warning people off the Arsenal defence and then I realize I've overlooked this reason.

                        Devastating.

                    Evra. United have the best fixtures over the next 9 weeks of any of the big teams and are finding form. He's nailed on to play every game and has shown good attacking potential.

                    If you're thinking longer-term I'd say Mertesacker or Mcauley as I can see both defences taking a turn for the better, although I'd watch out for Mert's run of EVE mci CHE in a few GWs.

                      Not much love for mert then. Evra is tempting. Surprisingly a differential at the mo.

                        Mertasacker or McAuley. McAuley has 4 in the next 6 at home and the 2 away games aren't bad. Mertasacker - you get and leave in all season. A top defensive team last year and will certainly return to that this year.

                      Why so little love for Jonny Evans? Looks like it will be Vidic + ? as the centrebacks. Looks like Rio pretty much out of the picture which leaves Jones Smalling as only other possibles. Seems like Evans has pole position atm.

                          doubt he'll start straight away. he's been out since the first game.

                            Fair point, that is why I have my doubts. but with Debuchy out I think he could have a chance to slide right in there.

                          plus, why would he drop williamson? 2 clean sheets in a row is rare for them although i think norwich will score on saturday.

                            They have been very lucky though, mainly saved my the goalkeeper, conceding a huge number of shots. I think he will play, but you are probably right about not this week
