FFS Cup

FFS Paddy Power Cup X – Fourth Round Draw

Tonight we roll out the fourth round draw of the Fantasy Football Scout Cup X, as sponsored by Paddy Power, as well as  look back at the nail-biting conclusion to the Third Round ties.

With a score of 105 points, Made of Stone achieved the highest haul of the round. Given his losing opponent Paul Penney notched up an impressive 84 points, it shows just how tough this competition gets towards the final rounds. Made of Stone’s heroics, which included captaining David Silva and having John Terry and Pablo Zabaleta in his defence, earn him a round four tie against Nordeast.

The Fourth Round sees two top ten players looking to progress further in the competition. Randy Milla sits in seventh overall and faces 1,217th ranked Whalley DJ. Meanwhile, Doctor101 may be a credible 2,431st overall but has the tough task of taking on eighth placed Never Trust Lukaku.

Another name to watch out for in round four is Granville. Our Scoutcast co-host saw off Huddy in round three and will meet Fantasypete next.

Other notable community match ups in round four include Tommy J against Louis Van Goal and Dez against Gimli son of Gloin.

The full list of third round results can be found here, while the fourth 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.

    Ah. Lanley Staurel?

      Morning.

      1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Your tables. Fine effort.

        Over what timescale do they run?

        1. Lanley Staurel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          I use 2 weeks to give a leading indicator. Things change and Sterling as a forward means I need a current view. Ta much!

          1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…

            9 years, 4 months ago

            OK. You need to state that in the space provided, near the top. Defence needs to run for at least FOUR weeks, imo - I run mine for six.

            You need to decide whether to use matches or weeks.

            Imo, your two attacking tables are trying to do two jobs at once, and I don't believe that to be possible.

              Thanks for feedback. Will have a ponder.

      Dummett or Cresswell/Tomkins,imo.

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

        Debuchy? Or Kos if he's back

      2. Kevtheotter
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Ha you always have a West Ham suggestion. Was it always this way or just now that they are having an amazing season? You have serious love for Creswell

            9 years, 4 months ago

            This in no way answers my question... Literally no idea what that means

            1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 4 months ago

              Fine. It does, but you can't be bothered to look.

              1. Kevtheotter
                • 12 Years
                9 years, 4 months ago

                No I just don't understand how that is an answer to

                Have you always suggested West Ham or is it because of their great season.

                Che: -386 of course

                1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 14 Years
                  9 years, 4 months ago

                  No , I have not. There are two plum fixtures coming up for a full back who is showing great attacking potential.

                  Unfortunately, you are not a member, so you can't see the table.

                  1. Kevtheotter
                    • 12 Years
                    9 years, 4 months ago

                    Yes it is unfortunate. I'm sure you now understand my confusion at the numbers which must come from members area?

                    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
                      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                      • 14 Years
                      9 years, 4 months ago

                      No, those are from my ticker.

                      1. Kevtheotter
                        • 12 Years

                        Alright cheers...

                9 years, 4 months ago

                And I'm actually very bothered as im still trying to figure it out

                1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 14 Years
                  9 years, 4 months ago

                  Have you actually got Naylor? Or, is Coleman affordable? Have you investigated Stones?

                  1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 14 Years
                    9 years, 4 months ago

                    Stones MAY replace Distin - but I don't know.

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

      Safe nailed on IMO.....if not go Sanchez...IMO if he is benched he won't come on, and if he starts he can do enough in 60 mins to cause damage

  5. flippetyflop
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Sanchez to Cazorla look good? or Moore to Zab ( I have 2.8 in bank)

    Forster (Mccarthy)

    Baines Azpi Taylor (Moore) (wisdom)

    Sanchez Hazard Eriksen Downing (Boyd)

      1. Oz lotto
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        cheers mate - next week I'll be ridding myself of berty because he has CHE ARS mun after that 🙁

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Giroud Maybe? im struggling to find a replacement for costa myself. Its not that i think costa is a good option its just that there isnt anyone id rather have.

          1. Oz lotto
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            I find with Aguero out, hazard under an injury cloud, yaya going to ACON, there is a real lack of transfers that I'm really dying to do and players who I really want!

      3. Oz lotto
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

    2. Sebbo29

      1. Oz lotto
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        thanks! i'm worried about Giroud's fixtures after this week.. whm and sot aren't the easiest teams to score against

        1. Sebbo29
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          other option could be Benteke, should be nailed every match and Villains have great fixtures too

    3. Rabbinton
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      C to Giroud

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

      neither right now, maybe Falcao in a few GWs

  12. Rabbinton
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Who do you captain here?

    Costa
    Giroud
    Sanchez
    Hazard
    Eriksen

    1. Sebbo29
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      if i had Gru i would captain him

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

      Giroud imo

          Leon Britton, Gylfi Sigurdsson and Jefferson Montero all returned to training yesterday after missing the Hull trip, when Swansea ground out victory in what was a scrappy contest.

    1. Big_Andy_GAWA

      Indeed. Need / want to captain him !!

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

        Think he'll play AT?

        1. A.T
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Yes

          1. Sebbo29
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            he'll play, question is for how long, am thinking around 60 minutes depending on how the game will go

            1. Woy

  17. Valar(Keith)
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Looking for a 4.4 replacement for Yun.. Considerin i already have Pantilimon and no villa
    A) Hutton
    B) Oshea (ignore the 4 yellows for now)

    1. Valar(Keith)
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I already own Dummett/Wisdom 🙂

    2. SW6
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Ben Davies?

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Rotation threat + MUN/CHE after this week

      2. SW6
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Hutton is a good pick too though

    3. Sebbo29
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      yes those 2 or maybe Robertson. I know it's HULL but they have to turn it around now and their fixtures are actually quite good (sun-LEI-EVE)

      1. Sebbo29
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    What is my best option?

    A) Siggy out for Yaya

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      B, Eriksen inconsistent

    2. Kevtheotter

      C... All day every day. Stop

    3. mookie

      C imo

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      We are now getting perilously close to ACON, so you have missed the boat, and therefore C), imo.

      1. RamaJama

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

  22. Big_Andy_GAWA
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Am half considering Lukaku to Giroud. Or keep ? Am 0.1 short of doing Kane to Giroud. Could then do Lukaku to Benteke the week after 🙁

    • 14 Years

    Currently, my front 7 is Hazard, Siggy, Yaya, Chadli, Rooney, Bony, Costa

        Massive knee jerk before he played! I panicked!

    I just did Sakho --> Steven Fletcher for a hit, might even captain him. Someone pray for me 😀

      😯

      Bravery like that deserves reward! 😀

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

        I could look like an absolute genius or an absolute fool! 😀

        1. Wilshere Knowledge
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          If it's the latter, best just keep quiet about it. 😉 😆

            • 10 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Haha yep

      Wow.

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

        Only word for it 😉

    3. Sebbo29
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      if you do such transfer and even for a hit then you might as well go all the way and captain him

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

        You've got a good point! Seeing as though he's certain to start and there are question marks over some heavy hitters being rotated, he might be a 'safe' option.

    Who is the best budget defender under 4.3m with Yun injured? ( other than steven taylor)

  27. GreenWindmill

    I have Kompany and Yun and 1 ft. Would you take a hit to ensure a full bench? Not sure who I'd actually want to bring in his week - there are no defences I'm particularly desperate to invest in for the next month or so 😕

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Will you definitely be able to get out 11 players?

      1. GreenWindmill
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        See below: it looks like I should be able but rotation is a bitch sometimes.

        1. Wilshere Knowledge
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Hazard seems fine, and he wont be rested for such a tough game, one in which they have struggled to break down in the past.
          I expect Sanchez to play as well, although it's a bit riskier.
          I'm sure Sagna will just get the Burnley game as well.

          That being said, with Yun out for a while, it might be worth just making sure. I've put out 10 men, and 9 men the last 2 weeks just from unexpected dropping.
          My bench this week is Austin, Naylor, Hutton 😆

          1. GreenWindmill
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Good bench 😯

            Thanks for the advice 🙂

    2. GreenWindmill
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Also have 2.5 in the bank and the standard rotation concerns (Hazard, Sanchez, Zabaleta, etc.)

    3. Oz lotto
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I wouldn't... you will have 2 on the bench just trading one so a -4 for just the bench isn't necessary imo

        9 years, 4 months ago

        That's what I thought, cheers.

      Yes, right at this week, I would.

      1. GreenWindmill
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        It's the only time of year I'd consider it. Any views on who for Doos?

          Punt: Stones

          Right now, if no Naylor, then him. Otherwise Cresswell/Tomkins or Coleman, if affordable.

          Other than the usual suspects, of course.

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            My others are Zabaleta, Baines, Terry so any of those are options. Cheers again 🙂

    5. SW6
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I would sell Yun

      1. GreenWindmill
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        He's first out the door for sure, cheers.

    Yoshida @ 4.2 played 90 mins the last 2 home games
    Davies @ 4.4 seems nailed on now

    both looking potential WC possibilities - who else have YOU similarly spotted ?!

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Yoshida is not first choice. He will play again this weekend with Fonte suspended, but not after that.

    2. SW6
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Potentially Kolo, Debuchy will almost definitely be in my Jan WC team

    who remembers when Mou was Coy on Costa's Injury & he went on to score a hatrick the next week. might as well happen with Hazard.
