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.

    Bench Siggy or Cresswell?

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Cresswell 100%

      Cress

  2. Jimbo123

    A.) play Naylor (liv) Or chambers

    or

    B.) Chambers ---> Kolarov/skrtel/ mangala (-4)

    1. Jeremiah
      • 11 Years

      A

      1. Jimbo123

  3. boogle

    Who to captain? Austin? Benteke?

    Hart
    Baines Ivan Skrtel
    Sanchez Haz Siggy Downing
    Costa Benteke Austin

    Ameobi Wisdom Duff

  4. Just A Wooden Spoon

    Worth doing Clichy to Zaba (-4)?

    Ordinarily I wouldn't take a hit for a defender but I think Clichy will get rested and it's almost a certainty City will keep a cleanie and Zaba should be good for possibly some attacking returns.

    Am I mad?

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

      Not worth a hit imo.

    2. Boss Hogg
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Madness.
      1 lucky goal and your cleanie is gone anyway.
      Not worth a sideways trade with defenders.

      1. Just A Wooden Spoon
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Yup you guys are prolly right there. Cheers.

    Afternoon all...
    debating Siggy n Costa to Silva n Tekkers,
    or...... Siggy n Haz to Silva n Sterling.....
    Both for -4...

    Panti
    Baines Zab Hutton
    Alexis SIGGY Yaya(VC) HAZ
    COSTA Austin(C) Kane

    Alnwick Azpi Ameobi Wisdom

    Really feel Silva is essential this GW.
    To avoid the -4 I could just do Haz to Silva...
    any thoughts?

  6. mgilbert86
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    If Di Maria is ruled out:

    A) Play Clyne

    B) Buy Silva (-4)

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

      B

    2. The Wayfarer
      • 10 Years

    3. Woy of the Wovers
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Use your FT to get Silva

    4. John Nerdelbaum
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Get Silva in

  7. Jeremiah
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Clyne owners 🙂

    Keeping or shipping?

    1. Woy of the Wovers
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Keep.

    2. Debauchy
      • 11 Years

      Keeping

    3. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Keep

  8. HNI
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Is it essential to bring in Silva for hit?
    Current mid is
    Sanchez Hazard Yaya Siggy Marney
    1.2mn in bank…
    who take out for him or just play without him till WC?

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

      Play without him.

      He averages around 5 goals a season in the PL, so the 3 goals in 2 games really is an anomaly.

    2. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      No. They have a striker now. He will not play in the box as much

    3. YTUMAMMA
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I feel he'll be ragarded as having been essential once the next 2 gameweeks have passed....
      so might as well get him in beforehand.

    2. Wilshere Knowledge

    Really need some experts to comment on this 🙂

    Pantimilion
    Baines - Azp - Taylor
    Sanchez - Hazard - Siggy - Downing
    RVP - Costa - Austin
    Heaton - Wisdom - Brown - Marney

    1 FT and 1.0 ITB

    Should I:
    1) Baines-Debuchy or Zab (Everton sucks)
    2) RVP->Rooney or Kane (worried about RVP's game time tmr)
    3) 1 or 2 - and Siggy - Silva
    4) Save

    Foster / 4.0

    Zaba / Azpil / Hutton (Dummet/Wisdom)

    1. Jeremiah

        Cheers mate, and you!

  22. johnny_
    • 11 Years

    Tommorow we will be able to see the Spurs-United lineups before the deadline, am I right here?

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

      Yes indeedy.

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

      Yes.

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

      Yep

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

    Clyne to?

    A. Mangala

    B. Skrtle

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

      A

      I just ditched Chambers, and bought Mangala myself.

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

        Cheers.

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

    May sounds a tad crazy, but is Sigurdsson to Downing worth a hit?

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

      Not for me.

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

      I don't think so

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

      Liverpool can't defend set pieces.

    4. Parm
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Thought not, cheers lads.

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

    Should I save my FT?

    Green
    Baines Zaba Hutton
    Sanchez Siggy Hazard Downing
    Costa Austin Rooney

    Subs: McCarthy, Boyd Clyne Jenkinson

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

      Yeah save.

  26. Garfield1001
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Bench one of this lot:

    Hazard (sot)
    Sanchez (whm)
    Siggy (liv)
    Downing (ARS)
    Costa (sot)

  27. Ten Season Wonder
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Eriksen > Sterling anyone???

  28. DF
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Panti.
    Zabaletta. Kolorov. Terry.
    Hazard. Sanchez. Yaya. Downing.
    Kane. Costa. Austin.

    Krul. Sig. Wisdom. Naylor. (0.3itb. 2FT)

    This team has done well recently - two consecutive centuries - but I've now got the two frees. Not sure what to do. Am considering letting Krul go for McGregor and saving the other free. What do you reckon? RP

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

      Nice team that, would save

    2. Manamongst
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Get off the Downing train, Rosicky will out score and outwork him...unless Alex Song plays along side of him it won´t be a fun day for him.

    3. Manamongst
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Get off the Downing train, Rosicky will out score and outwork him...unless Alex Song plays along side of him it won´t be a fun day for him.

      That being said you hit a century with a 2 pt capatain choice...

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

        I don't really want to break the team until the African banter kicks off, so I'll keep Downing for a bit. But I take your point and might consider playing Sig instead.

        I should use a transfer though - what do you reckon of Guzan or McGregor?

  29. Stats Don\'t Lie
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Still unsure, Is RVP + wanyama > bentekkers and Silva the right move or is Sanchez + siggy > Silva + sterling better?

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

    Milner is due. He is OOP and his stats suggest he is going to large it vs Burnley. I'm thinking I'm diving in as a differential.

    Idiotic or inspiration?

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

      Neither but a bit risky. I think he'll be the one to go if Jovetic plays

    2. Manamongst
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      neither...just don´t think he has a selfish bone in his body...a throwback player...but only translates into fantasy gold 1 or 2 times a season. Hopefully this might be the week for you....goodluck.
