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.

    Thoughts please on 2fts

    Trippier and Chambers OUT
    Skrtel and Hutton IN

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

      Good transfers if there is no pressing issues in midfield and forward

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

        sakho is my only real forward issue, kane is the obvious change but i dont like his fixtures

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

    Which one to play:

    A. Siggy (liv)
    B. Jedinak (qpr)

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

      Jedinak

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

      siggy scored against united and arsenal

  5. Nelson Vivas Fan Club
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    This is my team:
    Guzan
    Clichy, Baines, O'Shea
    Sanchez, Yaya, Fab, Siggy
    Costa, Austin, Kane

    B: Elliot, Downing, Wisdom, Blackett
    1 FT - 2.4 ITB

    Should I do
    A) Siggy to Silva?
    B) Baines to any defender, if so which one?
    C) Blackett to any defender below 6.5?
    D) Sit still and save the FT?

    All feedback is appreciated 🙂

    1. The_Socca_Philosopha

      D

    2. McSauce
      • 14 Years

      A 100%

    3. Robe Wan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      A

  6. FPLzebub
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Play Azpi (sou) or Hutton (SUN)?

    1. Nelson Vivas Fan Club
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Azpi

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

      Azpi

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

      Jose might make that choice for you!
      I'd start Azpi though

  7. McSauce
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Foster
    Caulker Baines Hutton
    Hazard Yaya Siggy Sanchez
    Austin Costa Bony

    2FT 0.8m ITB!

    A) Bony ---> Benteke (save 2nd FT)

    B) Siggy and Costa ---> Silva and Benteke

    C) Baines and Caulker ---> Zaba and Azpi

    1. Nelson Vivas Fan Club
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      C, or Bony and Siggy for Kane and Silva

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

        kane has utd and chelsea wont be bringing him in now maybe during jan WC

    2. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      9 years, 4 months ago

      C

  8. Herkules
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    there;s no chance both Clichy and Azpi will play tomorrow, right? If so - do we think Toure (Liverpool) will get at least 65 minutes?

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

      I'm hoping so

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

    Lost on last page

    2 FTs
    Bony + Siggy -> Kane + Yaya

    yay or nay?

    1. Nelson Vivas Fan Club
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Yay, although my hunch is that Swansea will beat L'pool

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

    A. Baines and Clyne -> Zaba and Skrtl for free
    B. Baines, Clyne and Ings - > Zaba, S Taylor and Benteke (-4)

    1. The_Socca_Philosopha

    2. HamezMace

      Keep Clyne

  11. si
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    This is the week to sell Roon surely? 2 tough away games. He is unlikely to get into the opposition box as much, as seen at Villa. Annoying that City do not have 1 striker to replace him with.

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

      You are joking right?

    2. CarrollEFC

  13. Dušan Citizen
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Can't decide between Silva and Austin captain. What do u think?

    Silva will probably be subbed off after 60-70 mins.

    1. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Austin

    2. AH 🙂

      Hey Dusan .
      Can you help me up the top of page ?

    3. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Austin

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

      Silva was subbed at 62mins this week.

    5. Joggers Nipple
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Austin

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

      Austin has played a lot of minutes lately, so he may not even start. However, I can't see how QPR will score without him. I'm captaining Austin

      1. Uppercut Panda - A legend i…
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        oh Austin will start.. QPR know they are screwed without him.

        1. money face bandwagon
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          exactly..if they are going to throw their home games away they should just relegate themselves now.

      2. Feanor
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        He just had a whole match off because of his red card. No way he gets benched.

    7. mouldy_uk
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Austin for me, should get the minutes, in form, playing a managerless team.

    8. Henrzd
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Silva - Top inform player in a top inform team

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

    Are there pressers today?

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

      Was wondering the same...you'd imagine there would have been a few already if there was...

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

        hoping they are just later in the day

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

        Arsenal and QPR have had theirs

  15. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Get Silva somehow or save?

    1 FT, 2.5 in the bank

    Sanchez Siggy Sterling Hazard

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

      Yeah would prob ship Oscar imo.

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

        He's actually been good for me. Has ticked along where you expect him too. Amazing how he didn't score well yesterday though... 7 shots!!

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

      Debuchy for Sigurdsson?

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

        As an Arsenal fan, I'm terrified of facing Carroll tomorrow! 😆

  17. JaydenLFC87
    • 10 Years

    Any changes needed to the below team for a hit?? Or gtg

    Green
    Baines\Hutton\Zab

        Thanks

  18. NATSTER
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Worth -4 to do Baines -> Zabaleta?

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

      Have ... Naylor Clyne Baines Yun Moore arm.

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

      Not for a hit.

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

      Not imo.

    4. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      No

    5. The_Socca_Philosopha
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Nope

    6. NATSTER
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Baines might stay another game then.

  19. Ice
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Best defender for 5.1 until Jan WC?? I already have Zab and Apizi. Thanks 🙂

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

      One of the Villa lads

  20. Jeremiah

    Time to ship Clyne?

    1. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I'm keeping, got him from the start though

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

        Same here.

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

      Late October was optimum. 🙂

  21. Feanor
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Please vote for how I should use my two FTs.

    A: Jedinak and Baines to Silva and Clichy

    G2G?

    pantili ( krul )
    azpi, touré, wisdom ( dummett, chambers )
    haz, sanchez, silva(vc), sterling ( downing )
    kane, austin (c), costa

    Not sure about my captain Austin he has played two full matches in the last two whereas Silva has two times more or less 60 min

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

      Looks good

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

    Play Forster (CHE) or Heaton (mci) ?

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

      Forster

    2. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Forster

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

      I would go with Forster Home

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

      Heaton

    5. The_Socca_Philosopha
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Forster

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

      Easily Forster IMO.

  24. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Can anyone give me a reason why Zabaleta will start?

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Because he is being rotated at the moment. Last 4 games he's played:
      90
      0
      90
      0
      So he will start.

      1. Hybrid.power
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Is he worth getting if thats the case? I dont want someone who may start one game but is benched the next

    2. McSauce
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      because he got his rest for sagna and will 100% start and get points! Prob cleanie and at least 1 assist

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

      Fits the rotation.

  25. Rupert The Horse
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Hazard has played 80+ minutes in all but one PL games this season.
    Rest tomorrow?

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

      Away to Southampton? Nope..

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

      Nope, Costa rested I think

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

        I think both will start

        1. festerme1983
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          both should start - costa looked like he was getting back to some form and hazard is just too important (he played 80+ mins of all games last xmas i think)

  26. SirBruno
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    What's the best 6.7 defender? already have Clichy Azpi and Wisdom Moore at subs. Worth doubling up cty defence? also have Hart too.

  27. BigTuna
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Start Downing (ARS) or Kane (MUN)?

    1. Think Tank
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I'm starting Downing. But also have Eriksen.

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

      Kane

      MUN leaking goals.

    3. Dušan Citizen
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Same dilemma here. I think I will start Kane

    4. festerme1983
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Kane for sure

  28. Clam. ☘️
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    A) Bony to Benteke
    B) Eriksen + Bony to Sanchez + Kane
    C) Save again.

    Do I got my lineup right?
    Good to go or need more strengthening?

    Guzan
    Clyne Chambers Hutton
    Hazard Fabregas Yaya Sanchez
    Rooney Austin (C) Kane

    Subs : Gilks, Wisdom, Siggy, Naylor

    Thankss
