Fantasy Football Scout Cup VIII – Quarter Final Draw

The Fantasy Football Scout Cup, as sponsored by Paddy Power, is now down to the final eight managers after resuming action last weekend. All eight of our remaining quarter-finalists sit inside the top 70,000 in the overall Fantasy Premier League (FPL) standings, though one of our managers will enter the next round as firm favourite:

Cunny Funts is the man in question – a total score of 1,373 so far earns him a ranking of 1,462 in FPL. He’s up against Yes the Sess!, who is the lowest-ranked manager still in with a shout of the silverware – currently nestled just inside the top 62,000, he’s very much the underdog in this tie, having scraped through with a 58-point haul in Gameweek 21.

Sim716 (61,243 overall) squares up to Tdubb05 (45,088) for a place in the semi-finals. The former eliminated our moderator, Applebonkers, last time around, whilst the latter will fancy his chances, having knocked out previous favourite Tony Hibbert’s Love Child.

Tal goes head-to-head with 11 Men in Flight this time around. This quarter-final is the most evenly matched on paper, with respective rankings of 45,190 and 32,963. Whilst Tal has already played the winter wildcard, his opponent’s is currently active ahead of the weekend deadline.

Our final match-up sees ec3dm take on Ajax. The latter has activated the wildcard button and, with an overall ranking of 27,664 to his opponent’s 56,637, is the more fancied to progress.

As always, we wish final eight the best of luck as they brace themselves for battle!

    Alright guys. Liverpool bib theory for this week.

    Remember this is just for a bit of fun. It has nothing to do with any inside knowledge; it is based purely on who was wearing a green bib in today's training photos.

    -------------- Mignolet
    Johnson - Toure - Sama - Smith
    -- Ibe - Gerrard - Allen - Moses
    --------- Suarez - Sturridge

    Although unlikely to play, it's nice to see the likes of Sama, Smith and Ibe training with the first team.

        Yeah. Unfortunately, both Sterling and Coutinho with orange bibs on, so no guessing as to who will lose their place for him.

      I'd love to (C) Ozil but it really isn't an option. Took the risk with Negredo last week and (sort of) got away with it by the skin of my teeth.

      As someone said the other day, the game is now effectively based on 10 players and no captain.

          lots didn't captain Suarez during that run of games. But plenty did v Stoke (duly rewarded) and plenty will v Villa. More than likely to deliver a haul, while Ozil had a bad outing vs Villa and hasn't shown any goal scoring form recently.

          That being said, if you keep it on Ozil, all the best.

    Was going to go Negredo ---> Aguero in the WC team below but unsure what to do now. Keep both? or just one?

    So this was the WC team I was planning:

    Boruc, Mannone
    Coleman, Clyne, Chester, Koscielny, Turner
    Silva, Hazard, Lallana, Eriksen, Livermore
    Giroud, Aguero, Suarez

    Also any advice on which Cardiff defender to get would be helpful!

      Keep one imo, since you have Silva. Always risky to triple up on attacking assets, but then again if its any team you triple up on - it's City

    A. Yaya to Pozuelo/Gnabry/Colback and JRod to Aguero
    B. Yaya to Oviedo and JRod to Aguero

    A. allows me to have a cheap playing mid as my 3rd sub bench warmer however I am .1 short of doing Nasty-Kolarov next week.

    B. would give me just enough funds to allow the switch next week with Nasty-Kolarov but obviously I will be carrying a non playing midfielder in Oviedo.

    Haven't been on much lately so apologies for the question, but are any of the quarter-finalists in the Cup active on the forum? I don't recognize any of the names.

      I'm on my wildcard too man, and honestly, keep Dawson. He's slowly ticking away points under the radar and is value. Good team though, don't be afraid to use that 1.3m

    Right. Cheers for everyone's input! One more go:

    Play one from:

    Brown (SOU)
    Parr (STK)
    Chester (nor)

    Im on Parr at the moment, no pun intended. Got a feeling NOR v HUL could be a 0-0 affair though, tempted by Chester.

        ha! the guidetti factor....Parr seems so obvious with that deep blue fixture square. Sometimes the obvious is too obvious. I think Im goin' Chester.

      Don't think he'll play v Chelsea due to back injury, but assuming he's back after that, fixtures are very good. I may well get him in
