FFS Paddy Power Cup XI and Members Cup V – First Round Draw

This afternoon we roll out the first round draws of the Fantasy Football Scout Cup XI, as sponsored by Paddy Power, as well as the fifth Fantasy Football Scout Members Cup.

In the Fantasy Football Scout Cup XI the cut off for qualification was 81 points,  with rank deciding entry for those who scored exactly that tally in Gameweek 28. The rankings cut off was 150,163rd place.

One of the most eye catching ties in this open entry tournament is former champion Wild Rover’s match up against our team news man Demi.

Among our other cup winners Gribude will take on Snotgrass, reigning champion CMIFLFC faces Toon_army_htl, Goonerdave squares up to Blue Mooners, former champ MCH takes on Aliminator and Jonty (that’s me) faces Big Dolls.

Chris8910 is among those hoping to claim a high profile scalp, when he takes on Mark, whose Scoutcast co-host Granville sadly failed to qualify. Powerslice will be hoping Paul slips up to see him through to the next round.

Other notable community matchups include Hvt’s clash with 1966 was a great year.

In the Members Cup V, the cut off for qualification was also 81 points. As with the Paddy Power Cup, rank is the decider for those who matched this cut off score in Gameweek 28. The ranking cut off point for this competition was 2,515th.

Former winner Trigg faces the toughest task among our former champions as he squares up to world number one Dufflinks. Another former winner Fuzzy Dunlop also faces a familiar name, when he takes on Jafooli.

Shiregeriatric has the task of attempting to oust Mark from the Members Cup, while Dynamic takes on Paul.

Other familiar names from our community facing up to each other include Innsie’s match up with Shatner’s Bassoon and Torresmagic’s first round tangle with Shipstontrev.

The full draw for the Fantasy Football Scout Cup XI can be found here, while the draw for the Members Scout V 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.

    Understand the (c) focus is on kane, aguero, hazard or even sanchez. Perhaps we might have neglected our little magician at the moment? (C) Silva, anyone? Gotta feeling regardless if man city plays aguero lone striker or two upfront, he will get his assist and sneak in a goal or two.

      He is not consistent enough IMO 🙂

      Yes, he might strike around 10 - 15 points but he can also strike 2 ... I can't see Aguero strike 2 this GW

      Yeah could be a good shout, I'm quite tempted to go Puncheon as well.

    Pantilimon

    Mmmm...Not sure about that...http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/manchester-city-boss-manuel-pellegrini-5327153?...I commented a few weeks ago about the subdued way the City players celebrate sometimes, just a general feeling really, certainly they don't have the spirit of Chelsea or Liverpool....

      Only a few of their players have passion. I feel as though Aguero and Hart are good examples.

        Passion is the word...United are in the same boat to an extent as well, Rooney apart of course...

    Given my defence is:

    Pantilimon
    Bertrand Fonte Jones Wollscheid Lescott

    is doing Jones>Dawson unreasonable? I'd start him this week and WBA rotate well with Southampton. Down the line I could do Lescott>Naughton as well!

    Team is:

    Ospina
    Clichy, Terry, Dawson
    Eriksen, Sanchez, Hazard, Puncheon
    Aguero (c), Kane, Austin
    (Foster, Moses, Vertonghen, Clyne)
    3.1m in the bank - 1 FT

    Good to go?
    Or buy Silva for Eriksen on a free?

  6. Footballbloodyhell

    Sounds good if you intend to captain Silva, otherwise upgrade austin to giroud for a LT perspective.

  7. Klopp's Kids

    Zouma only at 1.7% ownership...

  8. Ser Football 42

    Choose two to play:

    A) Cresswell
    B) Sinclair
