FFS Paddy Power Cup X – Fifth Round Draw

This afternoon, we roll out the fifth round draw of the Fantasy Football Scout Cup X, as sponsored by Paddy Power, and take a look back at the key events during Boxing Day’s fourth round ties.

There were three centurians in round four, who managed to go through into the fifth round in style with impressive three-digit points totals. United Nations was the fourth round’s top scorer, with his tally of 103 earning him £25 of free bets with Paddy Power.

Gimli son of Gloin’s score of 101 was more than enough to see off Dez and earn a fifth round tie with 1966 was a great year. Meanwhile, Luke Costello’s perfect century got the better of Rich Davies in the fourth round.

Granville also marches on, with his 71 score enough to take him through to the fifth round, where he faces Mediocre Men.

Other key fifth round match ups include Mata Is The Juan, who has drawn the short straw and faces the competition’s highest ranked manager Never Trust Lukaku, who sits in eighth overall. Laurel Hill faces United Nations, while Triggy takes on the Mutant Ninja Skrtels.

In total, 14 of the 64 fifth round competitors are in the top 1,000, further underlying how tough this tournament is during its later stages.

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

    Worth doing Lukaku > Falcao for a hit? (Don't want Benteke)

    Was watching Falcao's 5 goals in one game vs. Deportivo the other day, reckon he will explode sooner rather than later.

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Not for a hit and depends how much you're gonna lose on Haz

      1. Dosh
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        I have 2FT's.. I lose 0.3m on Hazard, thinking of selling now and buy him back in the Jan WC

        1. che
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          What's the rest of your team like?

          1. Dosh
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            Bertrand* - Clichy - Ivanovic - Wisdom - Hibbert*

            Downing - Sterling - Hazard - Sanchez - Siggy

            Rooney - Austin - Bony

            - one of Bony and Siggy to be benched.

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 3 months ago

              I would do Bony > Kane and Siggy > Silva if you can afford it

              1. che
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 9 Years
                9 years, 3 months ago

                Bony's off to Africa next week anyway

                1. Dosh
                  • 10 Years
                  9 years, 3 months ago

                  But I have to replace Bertrand coz he's got horrible fixtures(and he's disallowed next game). Clichy will also be rested next game.

                  1. Dosh
                    • 10 Years
                    9 years, 3 months ago

                    and I have no idea why i still have Hibbert

                    9 years, 3 months ago

                    Fair enough I suppose, just forces you to play WC early but if you can live with that go for it

    Lloris, Elliot
