FFS Cup

FFS Paddy Power Cup X – Seventh Round Draw

This evening, we roll out the seventh round draw of the Fantasy Football Scout Cup X, as sponsored by Paddy Power, and take a look back at the key events during New Year’s Day’s sixth round ties.

United Nations is fast becoming the manager to beat after clocking up his second prize for scoring the highest number of points in a round. A tally of 69 points has propelled him into 334th position overall, earning him another £25 worth of free bets from Paddy Power and setting him up for a round seven tie with Mince and Tatties. United Nations’ fielding of Harry Kane and Gael Clichy proved crucial to his victory.

The giant-killing accolade of the round goes to Aaron Ramessi. He may be ranked 33,436th overall but he saw off round six’s highest ranked manager Never Trust Lukaku, who is ranked 19th. Aaron Ramessi now faces CMIFLFC in the seventh round.

Other notable round seven ties include Mediocre Men, who knocked Granville out in round five, taking on Momalpashands, and community writer Saata facing up to Wolverine. Jimbojunior drew the short straw and meets round seven’s highest ranked manager Mjfdept, who is 65th overall.

Among the 16 remaining competitors, 13 have a rank within the top 10,000 and four are in the elite top 1,000 group.

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

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

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

    I've got Alexis, Hazard, Siggy and Boyd

    Yaya -> ?

    I'm stumped on this one - so many options.

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

      cazorla( 1 week punt)

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

        That's interesting, hopefully he's still on pens.

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

      Eriksen?

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

        I like this, cheers.

    3. badger1982

      • 9 Years

      Di Maria if he plays this weekend in the cup.

      If not mata and then swap for di maria when he back.

    4. BigManBakar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

  5. mookie
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    What happened to price changes? Lots of WC’s played?

    1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      WC transfers don't count on players in and out

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

        cheers, thought so

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

    Ok so team is

    Fab
    Zaba Baines Azpi | Hutton Clyne
    Haz Sanch Sterl Silva | Downing
    Austin Bony Kane

    1 FT, ~1m ITB

    Thinking of
    a) Bony -> Jovetic this week
    Austin -> Ings / Caroll next week OR play Downing (3-5-2)

    b) Bony -> Ings this week
    Austin -> Falcao next week

    c) Bony Downing -> Walcott Ings (-4) this week
    Austin -> Ings / Caroll next week

    As usual, free spuds for every answer 😉

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

      B maybe, but i wouldn’t be surprised if Downing would outscore most of your mids this GW or next

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

        THanks for replying. Thought that horrible formatting wouldn't get any 😀

        Well yeah that what I was fearing too. Downing is key to West Ham so he can score anytime.
        But his underlying stats have dropped signinficantly in the past weeks.

        And it's so close to WC I'd like to have some punts for excitement

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

      yah i like B for this week also. i would withhold judgement on who to bring in for austin next week though

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

    Carroll to Ings
    Rooney to Giroud
    Cazorla to Sessegnon
    Duff to Cresswell
    Pre-WC punts 😀

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

      i wouldn’t sell Carroll, maybe the one with Duff out

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

        So, Rooney to Ings and Duff to Cresswell 🙂

    2. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Not sure on any of them Sherlock

      Cazorlato >>> Chadli ?

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

        Is he better than Eriksen?

  8. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Why hasn't Yaya not flagged red but Bony has for ACON?

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

      Don't think it really matters...
      They're both gone, right?

      1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        True but just wondering why? Must be when they fly out maybe?

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

          The tourney kicks off on Jan 17th so, technically a player could play the Jan 10th fixture but, most players are expected to report earlier than that.

          1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
            • 10 Years

            Thanks

  9. Surezh06
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    jhonson or Sessegnon as fifth mid both have good fixtures

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

      Johnson if you see him ahead of Sanchez, Eriksen, Hazzard, Siggy, Sterlo, Fabregas, Silva, Boyd, Downing, et al.

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

    The days of making money Smoney during a WC break are long gone.

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

      It ain't about the money, Honey. 😉

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

      Days of making money were gone from the word go, we just didn't know it yet...
      Shame because I always like to see the few guys who committed to an OR in the low millions but, had a TV in excess of 120mil by season's end.

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

      I'm doing it for the love

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

    whats the deal with wisdom under pulis?nlikely to keep his spot?

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

      Will play.

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

      Why do you ask?
      Anything that's lead you to feel one way or another about this situation?

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

        was curious if something happened because i see lots of people mentioning gamboa as a possibility and both play in the same position.

        other than that all signs and history pointed towards pointed towards wisdom.

        wanted to double check since i want him in my WC this week

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

        This random conjecture is so annoying. I transferred out Sanchez a couple of weeks ago because of all the talk that he was knackered. Had a few other injuries along with Hazard's yellow card and I couldn't afford playing the week with 7-8 players. Turned out that Sanchez played every week and I'll probably never own him again for the season because of that price.

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

          i agree. this is why i asked! didnt mean to cause confusion

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

          The worst thing you can do is just act on *advice* from the forum.

          I mean, it's an amazing place to pick up the gossip / rumours to then use as the basis to do a little reading on your own.

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

            For me, I make much better decisions on my own. The less time I spend here the better my team is.

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

              Hear, hear!

              Example, at one point during the preseason I had convinced myself that rotating Bojan & Siggy might actually work...

              Who needs a 343 when the 3-5/4-2/3 hybrid is the way to play now!

              I mean what's a decade of FPL evidence to the contrary, when you've got the pundits around here telling us just how amazing this new *system* will work out?!

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

                Haha, crazy Canadians... GL mate!

  12. Jafalad
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    What I need is a few good cap'n'n'cy punts. Just to get me moving to no 1.

    Any good ideas?

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

      Hamer (c) schwarzer(VC)

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

      Gotta wait till after the cup games...
      Hate making plans / getting my hopes up only to find out he got a red or twisted an ankle.

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

      Costa would be amongst the minority in the top 10k this week but could score well.

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

      Slackho->Kane?

      Yoyo ?

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

      Zabaleta (C) Baines(VC)

      You won't know if Zabaleta has played or not given he'll return 0, and you've technically not captained Baines, thus not violating the "Never captain, Never bench" rule.

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

      Ings(c)

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

        Hmmm...it's bad enough trying to get to trust Austin and co but Ings? 😕

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

      costa might be due for an explosion and ppl seem to have forgotten somewhat about him.

      jovetic and chadli might be others

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

        this. i have the costa fear now. and 3 chelsea already. i reckon he cud well grab a hat trick against newcastle

    8. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Costa is a decent shout lads.

      Already done Slacko->Kane.

      Thinking Yoyo->Siggy and Roondog->Costa although that one is a bit sideways.

      1. OLEgend
        • 9 Years

        mata

      West Ham

  14. Angin out the Begović
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    WC Team

    Lloris - Forster
    Hutton/Terry/Clichy/Wisdom - Bertrand
    Chadli/Hazard/Sterling/Sanchez - Boyd
    Jovetic/Costa/Kane

    1. Angin out the Begović
      • 11 Years

      Not sure on what Defender to play yet

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

      Great team except goalies. Heavy investment there

      1. Angin out the Begović
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Mmm yeah still considering swapping them and saving money for Kun

  15. Old Schoolᴼˢ “disa…
    • 12 Years

    Any news on Cahill? Did the ref say he saw it so no action

    1. Wells - Anti-Dentite!
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      No action

  16. Petr Chec Yourself
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Who to draft in Wild card team Downing or Chadli? Already got in Kane

    1. Angin out the Begović
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Chadli

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

      Chadli

    3. mookie
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      both good options imo, maybe go with form on this one

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

      chadli, hes the best pick if you were in a vacuum. wouldnt worry about having double spurs

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

        if i were in a vacuum i'd have bigger things to worry about than my fpl team, although there are many here for whom that wud remain their chief concern ;p

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

    Is Chadli better than Eriksen? 😮

    1. Angin out the Begović
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Just go with the cheapest gives me a better squad

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

        I follow this theory incase of defenders, not attack 🙁

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

      not for me he isn’t, had him for a long time while he did well but i always wished i had Eriksen instead

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

      There is no answer to this question, unfortunately. Both equally likely to score well or fail.

      If and when Walcott hits form, I can only imagine the number of 'Is Walcott better than Sanchez' questions.

    4. megatronaldinho
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      i think he's probably a better bet, not to mention cheaper. there were a few posts on here yesterday that convinced me (although i'm easily convinced). one drew an analogue between poch's system at both southampton and spurs, suggesting that chadli is his jay rodriguez.

    5. BigManBakar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      As an FPL prospect these days, yes. Has the greater goal threat

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

        Thanks everyone! Better to avoid both, cant believe Chadli is better FPL prospect than Eriksen 😀

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

          I'm lol'ing at this whole thread.. Can't stand some of you knee-jerkers.. Get your heads screwed on..

  18. FPL Blow-In
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Gtg? No hit needed? Def correct?

    Adrian
    Zabaleta Terry Huttoninho
    Sanchez Hazard Silva Sig
    Kane Costa Austin

    Boyd Naylor Davies 5.2 itb 0ft.

    1. BigManBakar

      Gtg mate 🙂

  19. Petr Chec Yourself
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Best 5 budget Defenders in rotation for the next 8-9 Gws between:

    Oshea (Sun), Wisdom (Wba), Hutton(Avl), Dummet(new), Cameron(Sto), Wasilewski (lei), Duff (bur)??

  20. Angin out the Begović
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Who els is think West Brom clean sheets could be a good option this second half of the season?

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

      most of us

    2. JasonG123
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I have had Foster, Myhill and Wisdom the entire season so I hope it picks up eventually... ;D

      1. Angin out the Begović
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Tony is the man

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

    Everyone will have the same WC team. Just wait until Kun is back.

    😕

    1. Grumpy Camel
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Agreed

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

      This unfortunately 🙁

  22. JasonG123
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    What % was Dummett on in fffix and fplstats before falling? Such a frustrating fall!

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

      Fplstats had -101.2% when I slept(which is around 8hrs before price change)

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

    People are selling Austin for Kane it seems.

    hhmmm...

    Austin - 43000
    Kane + 216000

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

      🙂

      Probably Bony too.

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

      i’m tempted to play Boyd over him

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

        him=Austin

  24. BigManBakar

    I can't believe I am considering Sessegnon as my Yaya replacement 😯

        It's between him and Silva at the moment. Coutinho and Chadli are good shouts as well but I'm hesitant to double up with Sterling and Kane in there already. I guess it comes down to the fixtures because both of them have more or less the same key stats:

        Sess (HUL,eve,TOT)

        Silva (eve,ARS,che)

          No love for Cazorla?

            I think with Giroud,Welbeck and Walcott back in the side he will play in a deeper role

              • 10 Years
              9 years, 4 months ago

              Still he will play behind Giroud/Welbeck?
              ----------Giroud
              Sanchez-Caz-Walcott
              No?

                • 11 Years
                9 years, 4 months ago

                Could easily be

                ----------Giroud
                Welbeck-Sanchez-Walcott

                And then is there is the Ramsey factor as well 🙂

                  Hmm... Might drop Cazorla for Sess then 😛

    Someone here said WC transfers don't count in players in and out. Is this true? So WC transfers don't affect price changes? I am sure there's some sort of mistake.

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

      This was a popular theory at the start of the season but I doubt anyone actually knows.

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

        It is true.

  30. Red Reddington ⚽
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Foster
    Hutton P. Jones Azpi
    Siggy Hazard (C) Sanchez Sterling
    Costa (VC) Austin Kane

    BENCH: DDG Eriksen Wasilewski Baines

    Should I play any of my benched players???? Help!

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

      Jones has about 30pts. Baines off the bench.

      1. Red Reddington ⚽
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        what do you mean by Jones has about 30 points? He was injured for quite some time. And baines is facing Man City!
