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.

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

    Play one of each...

    A. NTaylor or Debuchy?

    B. Downing or Kane?

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

      A is tough.. probably Naylor.

      B is easy. Deffo Downing.

    2. @ocprodigy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Naylor & Downing personally.

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

        Never rely on pool defence.

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

          Ok! They have better chance of clean sheets imo : - )

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

      Baines > Zabs for me. Had enough of him - 0, 1, 1, 2, 1, 1, 2 for 7.2m can go blow goat

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

      Hosing him down to try and get rid of the stench

    4. dehat

      Siggy

    4. XhakaCan

  8. Jeremiah

      1. Wag the Drog

    2. Snikii
      • 9 Years

  9. Wag the Drog
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Chambers and Wisdom -> Mangala and Hutton?

    I have Forster at GK and I'm a little worried about Bony up front too.

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

      2 FT?

      1. Wag the Drog
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Yes

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

      For free? Good moves if so.

      Have Bony myself and reckon I'll give him one more week, if he blanks then its Bony > Benteke.

    3. Wag the Drog
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Already have Clichy too.

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

    Who gonna get rested tomorrow? Any big namers?

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Sanchez looked tired yesterday.

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

        Are you joking?

        1. S.Kuqi
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          You clearly weren't here after Liv-Ars game when everyone stated how he will be rested due to tiredness.

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

            I was. 😆 I thought it was stupid then, and I thought this might have been a continuation of the stupidity! 😉

            I had to make sure. 😀

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

        Are u serious? I've never seen a more energetic performance.

      3. Ser Football 42
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Sanchez looked elctric and the only player out there on Arsenal

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

        😯

      5. Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        I do think atleast one big name will be a no-show, just can't work out who....

      6. S.Kuqi
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        It was a joke. Clearly I'm no good at this.

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

      😮
      You are still finding that name 😀

  11. jaguar shark

    • 10 Years

    A. Eriksen
    B. Sterling

    Is Raheem gonna go a run???

    1. Wag the Drog
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Against decent sides they are really taking him out of the game and giving him very few chances. Eriksen is a better option but tricky fixtures.

    Last Man Standing Update

      I'm still going strong!

  13. Dante
    • 12 Years

    How does Foster & Siggy -> Hart & Silva sound?

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

      Good moves.

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

      Sound moves

    3. Boss Hogg
      • 14 Years

      Deffo.

  14. YuvalSpurs

    Baines > Skrtel
    Chadli > Silva

    For free, yes or no?

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

      Wouldn't get Pool defence.

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

    Hmm. Struggling to decide which forward to bench tomorrow.
    Who would you bench?

    Silva, Yaya, Downing, Hazard, Sanchez
    Kane, Costa, Austin

    ?

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

      Kane

    2. Rhys85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Downing maybe

  16. Team Zissou
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Hmm, Rooney or Benteke? (To replace Giroud (C) Groan..)

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

      Tekkers

      1. Team Zissou
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Yeh, fixtures say Benteke but Roonpig's streaky.. Although haven't seen anything of It'd with him in his new position so..

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

    Is there any Austin owner who is captaining different player ?

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

      Leaning towrads YYT.

    2. Team Zissou
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Austin (C) for me

    3. only2
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Undecided. Considering It

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

      Leaning toward Silva

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

      I've got Yaya and Silva too.

      Very tempted by those two.

      1. Rui
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Same here. Thing is, who do you captain out of those two?

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

      I'm on Austin, but I'm hoping that there isn't a reaction from Palace after Warnock being sacked

    7. boogle
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Possibly Benteke?

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

      On Sanchez at the moment. 😀

    9. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I would probably captain Silva but think he will be subbed around 70mins mark. So Austin for me then.

    10. Notorious
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Austin is the safest bet imo, the guy is a goal machine at home.

  18. only2
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Vergini -> Caulker? Yey?

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

    Will Silva start tomorrow?

    1. Wag the Drog
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Yes.

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

      Should start, yes.

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

    Chambers ---> Mangala for a hit?

    Or play Naylor?

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

      Naylor.

    2. Wag the Drog
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Play Naylor.

  21. Notorious
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Bony>Benteke for a hit? Yay or nay?

    I know that I'm still mad at Bony for yesterday's captain fail but Tekkers has two amazing home fixtures while Bony has two away games and then I'd have to sell him anyway. Your thoughts? Thanks in advance.

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

      For a hit id risky but it could well pay off.

      Benteke hasnt been firing as of yet but i say go for it.

    2. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      No. Sunderland is still decent side at defending. Max 1 goal for Benteke

  22. Koflok
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    1 FT

    a) Eriksen to Silva (Bony 1st bench)

    or

    b) Bony to Benteke (Eriksen / Downing 1st bench)

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

      B

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

      B

  23. only2
    • 11 Years

      Good team.

    2. deshawn7
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      you got 2 Hamers? sounds decent for short term but in the long run you gotta beef up the defence a little, looks a tad weak

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

      Stop.
      Hammer time.

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

      Looks good. I don't think you'll get much from Bruce or Hamer, but you don't have many options. I assume you've already used your FT? If not, I'd probably look to upgrade Bruce.

        Thanks brother

    2. HurriKane

      Another siggy haul incoming

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

      Hutton ahead of Dummet. I don't think Clichy will start, but is unlikely to get a cameo anyway, so you might as well start him.

  30. Jafooli

    Rooney, Boyd & Baines > Austin, Silva & Zabs for a hit?

    About to pull the trigger....

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

      Go for it.

      Reckon Zabs will start?

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

        Yeah
