FFS Cup

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.

  1. Here's the manager

    Anyone on here with advice on h2h league tactics? Next opponent has fairly similar team with main differentials up front silva Milner and Kane. I have Eriksen, Downing and Bony.

    Was all set to make 1 conservative transfer in Defence ( OR round 20k) but in the back of my mind I wonder about squeezing it by getting my team even more similar to his!!

      H2H is shite. Sort out your bad differentials.
      You could always use 2 FTs if the win is more important.

      good

  6. il Brutto
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Clyne to Jones for free. Good or bad?

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

    a) Siggy to Lallana

    Or

    b) Dummet to Zabaleta

    1. Carrick Doesn't Deserv…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      going lallana over sterling?

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

        In better form + fitness levels are good. Sterling will be rotated soon

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

          Lallana potential pens with SG benched

    3. Mata-Is-The-Juan
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      A. You'll be looking to get rid of Zabaleta after Everton anyway. Saints fixtures look decent after GW21.

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

    heaton in with the wc definitely, should have gotten him long ago

    Rooney Costa Austin

    1FT and £1.0 ITB

    What to do with this lot?
    I'm a bit worried without City..

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

      Unpopular maybe but I'd do Sanchez to Silva.

      1. Gooner97
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        That's what I'm thinking but...

  10. Evasivo
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    What's everyone changing their password over?

      1. goriuanx
        • 13 Years

        What happened?

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years

          Nothing.

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

            I just changed my password.. 😀

      2. For Fuchs Sake

      3. Evasivo
        • 13 Years

        Thx TM.. People actually use that?

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years

          Best around.

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

            Not sure I'd want to trust that site nor its machine. Human judgement is best I reckon

            1. Mata-Is-The-Juan
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 4 months ago

              Agreed.

              But if for nothing at all... Their price rises and falls have been reliable

    1. Optimus.
      • 13 Years

      Hackers took down Playstaion word is FFF is next

    2. Gooner97

      What am I missing?

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

        Still don't understand, is this genuine and what can be done? If someone takes caulker and Boyd out of my team without my knowing I am going to get very upset...

  11. It's his Job.
    • 10 Years

    Will Yaya play or swap for Mirallas

    1. TorresMagic™

    1. sweensa
      • 9 Years

      1. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
        • 12 Years

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

          Considering the conversation we had 15mins ago I dont mean it really 😉

          1. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            very true haha

    2. The Hound
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I think we will be ok as there are worse teams but it don't look great does it...

  13. Adds04
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Is anyone looking at Liverpool for the next few games Stirling, Lalana or even Henderson?

    1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Yes, sterling

      1. It's his Job.
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Coutinho for me i think ppl will overlook him to Lallana and Sterling so IMO Coutinho

        1. Adds04
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          I'm thinking the same but with hendo for when I wildcard he gets quite a few assists for 6m

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

      All 3 for me..Now is the time to triple up I feel

      1. Gooner97
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        😯

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

          Eat my dust

      2. Camp No No
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Gonna wildcard next week?

  14. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Hi guys,

    So I'm finally quite happy with my team and il avoid using my January wildcard until the end of month too which helps.

    What do you think of this team then?

    Adrian,

    Azpi, baines, zab

    Hazard, Sanchez, silva, sterling, downing

    Costa, Ings

    McCarthy, yun, duff, bojan

    0.2M ITB.

    1. It's his Job.
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Question marks over two defenders and rotation nothing you can do over that and Bojan 1st on bench. looks gd

      1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        The rotations has hurt recently! *cough* azpi & zabaleta *cough*!

        1. It's his Job.
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Mm Mm You said it..

        2. It's his Job.
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Hence a fully fit bench comes in handy.

  15. Surfreak

    Boyd on 4 YC! OMG WTF! 🙂

    1. TorresMagic™

  16. Will
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Jovetic in for Costa, no hit.

    Good idea?

    1. The Generalator
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I don't think so, not even for a hit

    2. ralfb

      No. For anyone else?

    3. The Nuttman

  18. A guy

    Just hope the hackers put Hazard captain for me tbh

    1. Optimus.

        Thanks. Hope city will keep it tight.

  22. Overlordleo
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    A) use free transfer this week to get rid of Clyne or Jagielka. Have to use wc next week to get rid or Yaya and Bony, or take a hit. Can afford all defenders.

    B) Save free transfer for next week. Use 2 free transfers next week to get is of Yaya/Bony and can save WC for a while. Forces me to play Wisdom-Janmaat-Cissokho this week.

    C) Other options? Have 4 injured players including Yaya so might end up with 10 players next week if I save my transfer.

    This is my current team:
    1 ft and 4 m itb.

    DDG
    Wisdom (WHU A) - Janmaat (BUR H) - Cissokho (CRY H)
    Yaya (C) (SUN H) -Fabregas (TOT A) - Eriksen (CHE H) - Downing (WBA H)
    Costa (TOT A) - Bony (QPR A) - Austin (VC) (Swansea H)

    Bench: Jagielka, Clyne, King (All injured)

    Thanks a lot! 🙂

    1. NASL Shootout
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Too many angry sellers (myself included).

  25. PlayPercentage
    • 13 Years

    When is Sakho leaving for the ACN?
    I'm not sure he's a nailed-on starter for the next GW.
    Could be time to get rid.

  26. Sweetpea
