FFS Paddy Power Cup X – Third Round Draw

This afternoon, we roll out the third round draw of the Fantasy Football Scout Cup X, as sponsored by Paddy Power, and take a look back at the second round’s key encounters.

Among the enticing second round match ups between our regular community members Arvination emerged victorious in his clash with Gnu and will square up to Rabbzz in the third round. Meanwhile, our  moderator Greenwindmill lost out to Tommy J, who earns a third round tie against Breast Rumage Albion.

Aaron Ramessi claimed one of the key scalps of the second round, dispatching our last remaining former champion Gooner Dave. However,  Saniul was not so fortunate, he missed out on a third round place after being beaten 80-65 by Elfozzie, aka Chris the Fantasy Football Scout business director.

The highest scorer of the second round was Absolutely Fabregas. His score of 97 earns him £25 worth of free bets with Paddy Power.

Among the key third round ties are Moin’s clash with Jimmy The Gent and Jambo17’s match up with Bemba Da. Huddy has the honour of attempting to remove Granville from the competition.

Those with the toughest third round ties include Eatton, who faces Never Trust Lukaku, who has an overall rank of 14 and is the highest ranked competitor remaining. Psychobingo also has a difficult task when he takes on 26th placed Disco.

The full list of second round results can be found here while the third round draw in full can be found here.

Good luck to those involved in the weekend’s action. In the meantime, though, if you’re looking for more information on the Scout Cup schedule and prizes available, click this link for a more thorough rundown.

          😆 I won it by 2 points, and the whole week I was thinking I lost it by a single point. 😆

      Focusing on the league, no cup distractions. I won't need to rotate, there'll be no tiredness and midweek hangovers.

  8. A Defender's Nightmare
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    I honestly think going with Kolarov at this moment is not the end of the world. We already know none of the City defenders are guaranteed to play in all of next 4. For eg. I'd rather have Kolarov playing CPL & BUR than Demi/Zaba playing CPL, wba, SUN given that I'd have someone like Hutton on the bench as sub in GW 20. Owning him may prove to be bit frustrating but when he starts he's more explosive than any other City defender. With no recognised Striker he'll be given full freedom to attack on the left flank. I think he's a great option if you've decent back up.

    1. Heels_Over_Head
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Now showing at the Lyceum, The Kolarov Monologues, a theatrical performance by 5 obsessed FPL players...

    2. Baby Face Nelson
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      all guess work

      He could end up not even playing any matches

      1. A Defender's Nightmare
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Don't forget that Kolarov played 3 GWs (including Chelsea game) out of 1st 7 GWs over Clichy before he got injured. He's not a back up player. Pellegrini rested Zaba last GW. It's Clichy's turn this time.

    3. Djerbil
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      the only people who u need to convince is yourself , and I see you have already done that

      1. A Defender's Nightmare
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        I think he's "very likely" to start this GW but I do need some vote of confidence. I've never owned Kolarov before & I've never been this tempted.

        1. Caine & Co.
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          makes sense now =D if you had owned him before you would not be tempted now

    4. Captain Shirokov
      • 12 Years

      Agreed but I think I'll keep Baines this week. I'd have no qualms about Kolarov in though.

      sorted by chances created and got a 😯

      sorted by shots in the box, and that surprised as well... though I noticed the top two are none too accurate with their shots while #3 on the list has 60% accuracy... that's quite a thing

        noice! How much is he? I have 5.8 to replace berty...

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years

          Fantastic! You can pop him in and stash 0.1m in the bank. 😉

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years

        Go for it mate! Much easier to bring him in for Chambo than Baines.

  14. Andy1

    What should I do with this team?

    Heaton krul
    Baines clyne chambers Hutton wisdom
    Sanchez fabregas yaya siggy Downing
    Costa saki ayoze

    1.8m in the bank and 1ft. I have no ideas!

    1. Chris_H
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Ayoze > Kane/Austin springs to mind?

      1. Andy1
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        My only worry is that I'll have 8 decent forwards. Who would you bench?

        1. Chris_H
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Yes I didn't notice he was your cheapo, Clyne out for MCI/CHE def makes more sense actually...

          1. Andy1
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Which is the best option?

    2. TwiggsJameson
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Clyne -> Zabaleta

    Wouldn't say many choices of captain this gameweek but certainly a tough one to decide. Makes it even more interesting as this leaves a great opportunity for anyone who picked a successful captain to overtake a massive lot of spots up the ladder this gameweek.

    So who's your captain? Rooney (C) here.

    Manchester United and Aston Villa last five meetings in the Premier League.
    (1) MUN 4 : 1 AVL
    (2) AVL 0 : 3 MUN
    (3) MUN 3 : 0 AVL
    (4) AVL 2 : 3 MUN
    (5) MUN 4 : 0 AVL

    RP Posted on dead thread.
    Captaincy Dilemma:

    A) Austin

    Or

    B) Sakho

    Favouring A as the popular choice, but I'm never going to get a better chance to captain Sakho... 😐

    1. Zombie
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I have both of them and Downing. At present it's Downing(c)

      If I didn't have Downing, probably would have gone with Austin or Hazza 😐

  19. Jimbo123
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

     A.) Clyne ---> Zab (and play Ben Foster )

    Or

    B.) Krul ---> Hart and keep Clyne

    1. A Defender's Nightmare
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      A

  20. Hank Scorpio
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Hi Fellas - what do you reckon is my best option? I'm baffled this week.

    Krul - Green
    Baines - Azpi - Dummett - Hutton - Yun
    Sanchez - Hazard - Siggy - Downing - Boyd
    Costa - Lukaku - Austin

    2FT, 3.5m in the bank.

    1. GoRedz
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      how about Lukaku + Boyd -> Sakho & Eriksen ?
      You can bench Siggy this week and downing next week

      1. Hank Scorpio
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        I was thinking Baines & Siggy ---> Zaba & Silva this week.

        The Lukaku ---> Rooney next week.

        Don't trust Eriksen enough.

    2. FPL Touches
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Sort out a decent keeper

      1. Hank Scorpio
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        That is on my list......but seems daft this week when Green is at home to West Brom.

      2. FPL Touches
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Krul to Panty

  21. Just A Hat

    I'm up against another poster I don't know 🙁

    1. Saniul
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I would have taken that. 🙁

  22. Bring Back Caldwell
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Need to bench one of the following, any help would be appreciated:

    Baines, Cahill, Caulker and Naylor

    1. Hank Scorpio
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Naylor IMO.

    2. Caine & Co.
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      naylor

    3. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Tough one, probably Naylor.

    4. GoRedz
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      caulker imo

    5. Zombie
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      One more for Naylor

      1. Bring Back Caldwell
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Pretty resounding, thanks for your help. Hull have zero goal threat though, originally had Cahill sitting out...

  23. Saniul
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    So regarding our match-up getting a mention, was it because of me or Elfozzie? 😉

  24. Raddy
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Hmm, a midfield trio of Nasri, Cazrola, Sterling could be absolute bargain over Christmas.

    1. Caine & Co.
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      only cazorla

    2. Woy
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      All have great potential

  25. Zombie
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    So if someone scores 42 points in these ties, he can't lose. Right ?

  26. The Blackadder

    Never owned Kolarov, I think I might in 24hrs or so though 🙂

    2. Just A Hat
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      you should captain him as well

    3. A Defender's Nightmare
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Same. Look above. Will you be my partner in crime? 🙂

    Something is telling me to do Costa to RVP (C) for a -4......does this make any sense??

      As things stand I would be captaining Eriksen and not Costa, so even if RVP only gets an assist and I make him captain I would be breakeven??
