FFS Paddy Power Cup X – Sixth Round Draw

This evening, we roll out the sixth round draw of the Fantasy Football Scout Cup X, as sponsored by Paddy Power, and look back at the conclusion to the fifth round ties.

Jimbojunior emerged as the top scoring manager in the Gameweek 19 match-ups, with a score of 54 points earning him £25 worth of free bets with Paddy Power and a round six showdown with Dub. Another high scorer was Mediocre Men, whose tally of 53 points proved too much for Granville’s score of 35.

Among the remaining 32 managers who made it through to the sixth round, as many as 13 are in the top 1,000. Never Trust Lukaku continues to be the competition’s highest ranked manager – he sits in 10th overall and faces Aaron Ramessi in round six.

Other notable round six ties are round four’s highest scorer United Nations, who faces HVT. Meanwhile, Gimli son of Gloin takes on Luke Costello, who is 42nd overall and the second highest ranked manager remaining in the tournament.

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

    Bottom of last page:

    For the next GWs 21 - 23 (until WC), which is best:

    A) Fabregas (NEW, swa, MCI) and up to £6.7M defender (Mert/Kosc/Debuchy - STO, mci, AVL)

    B) Sanchez (STO, mci, AVL) and up to £5M defender (Trippier - QPR, CPA, sun, O'Shea - LIV, tot, BUR or other suggestions)

    Help appreciated!

      Baines went last week for Zabaleta, didn't work out well 🙁

        Baines -> Kolarov here. 1 point, whoop.

          Baines to Kolarov here as well 😎

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

      I've still got him. Penalty and assist and clean sheet this week... 😉

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

        So there is atleast two of us shouting Bainessss! after his penalty.

      2. Jernau M Gurgeh
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        and he's playing left winger now.....

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

          no he isn't more like dcm.

      RVP Yaya Baines here. That's 30m for not a lot of holiday cheer.

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

        I'm planning to get Rvp for their nice run of fixtures after gw21

    4. sad_nap
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Now that he's playing in the midfield people might regret shipping him out. I held on to him with hopes he would someday get back in form.

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

        I would have ditched him 5 gws ago but there was always more pressing transfers.

    5. Daniel Levy- Not the Chairm…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Still with me. Got Zaba and Azpi so not sure on a great replacement.

    6. Black Knights
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Hull may be his last chance, or he should go during WC. I'm just glad I had his 40 in 4 GWs all those moons ago.

    1FT team linked

    a) Eriksen to Sterling, would play Sterling over Siggy
    b) Yaya to Silva (regardless of injury)
    c) Save - play Siggy

    Ready for NYD?

    Guzan (Foster)

    Zabaleta Hutton Azpilicueta (N.Taylor) (Wisdom)

    Sanchez Sigurdsson Downing Hazard (Boyd)

    Rooney Austin Costa

    Who to captain?

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

      Hazard.

    2. chunk
      • 11 Years

      Hazard form over fixtures

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

        Fiztures is good too. Spurs defending is shocking

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

          Harsh after their best run of defensive form in months.

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

      Hazard - I'm not sure the days where Spurs capitulate big time are gone.

  5. mouldy_uk

    Fabianski
    Zabaleta / Hutton / Azpilicueta
    Sigurdsson / Silva / Sánchez / Yaya Touré
    Austin / Sakho / Costa

    Pantilimon / Boyd / Wisdom / Clyne

    Thoughts please on Azpil to Terry?

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

      Sideways, Azpi will play this week.

      How much money ITB? Sakho to Benteke?

      1. mouldy_uk

            For sure. Can sell one of the kids. 3 always seemed such an odd number.

              There's always one or two you won't like later. Best to move them on now for something you want.

            Printing money.

      Wild horses couldn't drag me there

      1. Wings Fan
        • 10 Years

        Well I suspect not, you'd be intercepted by police as soon as you got within the M25

    3. Wings Fan
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Guess not.

      Look out for the tall, handsome, intelligent, modest FPL god and come say Hi.

        This. Really?!

  9. Man Chest Hair United
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    I really want to bring in Sterling but have a bad feeling he will bee rested vs leiscter. Anyone got any info on if he is a rotation risk?

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

      The chances of a rest are high, imo. He could easily start Balotelli or Lambert.

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

      He will play, then be rested for FA Cup

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

        this imo

    3. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I don't see how he can afford the risk of not beating Leicester. Rested for the Cup imo.

      1. Man Chest Hair United
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Didn't Rodgers say something about him getting a long break after Christmas

        1. In Like Flynn.
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Expecting Sturridge back I expect. He could rest him more easily then. Though with Lala coming on, it's not impossible.

    Anything worth a -4 here? Slightly worried about no siggy or liverpool coverage

    Bony Austin Rooney

    Courtois Boyd Wisdom Duff

    1. Del Monte

    3. MoMalpasHands

      Bony maybe but Boyd's good cover.

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

        my thought as well -- would you consider starting him over bony?

  11. HP.
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Coutinho or Mirallas?

    1. tm245
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Both are never again for me, but Mirallas would be way ahead.

    2. Black Knights
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Mirallas was a short term punt which keeps coming good for me.

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

    Replacements for Yaya, Bony and Clyne?

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

      Silva/Hazard/Eriksen, Kane/Austin (really lack of good forward choices atm), cresswell/trippier or avl/liv/mun defenders based on fixtures

      Really depends on who you currently have

  13. jozycabral

    IF Pulis gets the WBA job, will their defenders become real prospects?

    1. The Light Knight
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Yes, Wisdom and Lescott to break FPL

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

      I would say so, they have nice fixtures 24-32

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

        yeah, have Wisdom regardless of Pulis. would be great if he gets the WBA job though.

    3. BuK II
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      100% yes.

    4. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years

    • 11 Years

    What should I do with this defence? 1ft and 1.6m in the bank:

    Baines, Clyde, chambers, Hutton and duff

    1. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Clyne to Bertrand? and Duff to Trippier for a hit.

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

      Chambers and Duff out.

      Reid / Jenko and Trippier?

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

      Oh sorry you've got money ITB - perhaps a Chelski def for Chambers

    4. Corkyote FFS CWC Champion 2…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Cheers guys, worth getting Moreno or kolarov and playing with Hutton and Baines?

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

        Not Kolarov.

        Moreno could be good

    Screw it, I'm with you RCA, Benteke (c) Bar Kun and a couple of Hazard's my captains have been a pile of crap this season. if it doesn't work, well, to paraphrase Buzz Lightyear, it's not a fail, it's not succeeding with style

    It really is no wonder that managers like Garry Monk get themselves in trouble with the FA for their comments about refs etc when Sterling gets let off and Shelvey gets punished.

    It really does show what a corrupt organisation the FA is. Same goes for the premier league administrators.
