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

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

There were mixed fortunes for our former FFS Paddy Power Cup former champions, with our team news man Demi’s score of 35 proving too much for past winner Wild Rover as he cruised through to the second round to face Brain Stem.

Gribude was another former champion to fall, with Snotgrass’s tally of 40 knocking him out in the first round. Toon_army_htl was the conqueror of reigning champion CMIFLFC, while former winner GoonerDave also missed out on a second round draw, after being removed by Blue Mooners.

That leaves three former champions in the competition after Jonty (that’s me) eased past Big Dolls to set up a round two encounter with Bahahahacelona and MCH defeated Aliminator to face Jonny in the second round. Donnellyc was another victorious former champion and he takes on I Just Did A Torres in the second round.

Other notable second round clashes include CB’s match with Mark, and Leaf’s clash with Paul.

Among our former Members Cup champions Trigg’s first round victory was the most eye catching. He saw off the top ranked FPL manager Dufflinks by the slender margin of one point in what was a low scoring week for many of the top ranked players. Trigg now faces Pdes in the second round.

Another former winner Fuzzy Dunlop was less fortunate. He fell in the first round to another community regular Jafooli, who now faces Mrben.

With Dufflinks’ departure, 12th placed Gratuzo is the Members Cup’s highest ranked surviving manager. Red5 who is ranked more than 400,000 places behind Gratuzo will be hoping to emulate Trigg’s success in claiming a big scalp in the second round.

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.

    And this is Mr Hart, he's gorgeous. Well played Joe, but whats with all the smiles, you lost. These millionaires lack motivation.

      I agree a lot of them lack guile, but Hart isn't one of them. Yaya is a disgrace.

    Myhill,
    Terry, Clyne, Koscielny
    Hazard, Sanchez, Silva, Eriksen
    Aguero, Kane, Austin

    Foster, Wollscheid, Boyd, Baird

    2 free transfers, 0 in the bank

    A. Foster+Clyne/Kos -> Begovic+Alderweireld
    B. Austin+Silva -> Giroud+Downing
    C. Something else

    1. Lucy.

      Don't drop Austin when he's one week from another DGW.

      1. Lucy.
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        And Fabianski over Begovic.

      2. ANON.
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Giroud would be coming in instead with a DGW

        1. Woy of the Wovers
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          What DGW?

          1. ANON.
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Won't he have one in GW34 to GW38?

      Foster to Ospina?

      1. ANON.
        • 10 Years

        Need a downgrade to allow

  4. FPL Maldini

    All strikers go through a rough patch- I'm sticking by Aguero. He won't get dropped I'm sure

    1. Wouter
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Obviously he wont get dropped, the other 3 strikers are not doing a whole lot better.

  5. Az

    Have the better team in both of my cup matches.

    Cue the wrong captain call and knocked out of both.

    Surely Kane is the best option this week though? Although hazard is tempting me...

    1. The Machine
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      How do you know you have the better team?

      1. Az
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Arrogance...

        But also, I have Schlupp. Win?

    2. Reedy
      • 13 Years

      Ahem, we'll see about that 😉

      1. Reedy
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        No Mane or Silva may cost you. But I'm worried about Austin, that Everton defence is shocking.

        1. Lucy.
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          The stats on Everton's defensive mistakes that lead to goals is just staggering.

          1. Reedy
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            I can imagine. I had double Everton defence earlier in the season...my rank has never quite recovered

    3. Tony Yeboah
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      im going hazard....reckon leicester will give spurs a gd game.....while chelsea do seem off form, hazard is still playing great...hes due a haul and looks dangerous away from home....altho kane is still a gd shout and it could go wrong

  6. Tony Yeboah
    • 10 Years

    Citeh play again saturday early kick off....very little rest after getting run ragged tonight.....usually would be sunday game after wednesday champs game.....tad harsh....against a rested pulis side....will b tough game for them.....not spending ft on keeper...come on myhill

    1. Jax
      • 14 Years

      city will win

  7. sumatera
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    A) Forster + 4.3 mid

    or

    B) Fabianski + Boyd

  8. Elijah's Wood
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Pantil
    Terry, Naughton, Clyne
    Sanchez, Hazard, Silva, Erikson
    Austin, Kane, Aguero

    Myhill, Bellerin, Boyd, Baird

    2FTs, £2m

    I want to get both Ivan in and Mane but the only way to do this is to sell Sanchez and Terry, trouble with this is that you almost need an Arsenal player this week, so considering doing this:

    Terry/Sanchez/Boyd > Ivan/Ramsey/Mane (for -4)

    This would leave me playing 3-5-2 and benching Austin, ive also taken into consideration the DGW coming up and will swap Pantil to Mignolet in GW33

    Thoughts please? 😀

  9. davies
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Any suggestions here, lads? 2FT & 0.3 ITB.

    Panti
    Terry, Kosc, Clyne
    Sanchez, Hazard (C), Silva, Eriksen
    Aguero, Austin, Kane

    Krul, Naughton, Boyd, Dawson

    Cheers.

    1. ANON.

      Very similar team to me. I'm looking at how to get a 3rd Chelsea player in, Ivan or Costa. Also want Giroud in for Austin. Maybe one of the mids has to be downgraded to Downing or someone like that

    Liverpool, City and Arsenal lost nine out of 22 games in this season's Champions League.

    Chelsea lost none out of eight.

    But at least City and Arsenal went out in a "gallant and heroic" way. 😉

    1. The Machine
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Rather this than trying to cheat your way to last 8 I guess

    2. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 10 Years

      Helps that Chelsea had a group of pub teams, as opposed to Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and BvB.

      1. Jax
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        arsenal had a pub team too

    3. Long Juan Silva
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      lol Arsenal never go out in a heroic way

      They go out on a whiper like every year with a glaring lack of leaders

      1. Poseidon. Not arrogant, jus…

        Are you a parody of a moron too?

        Wow you must have quite a few friends who support arsenal. So bitter every time you come in here its about arsenal. Obsessed

        Thought I'd ask the FFS community instead.

          tough question really.

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Kane will be favourite.

  14. FionnMac
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Looking for an Austin replacement. Best striker before I use my WC before GW34? So the next 4 gameweeks.

    Enough money for Costa although I might need some persuading he's worth the money over Gru..

    Hi, need some help this week with my team, any thoughts would be appreciated, and zero in the bank. I am concerned about the form of Sanchez and Aguero

    Krul, Foster
    Moreno, Cahill, Rose, Koscielny, Wisdom
    Sterling, Eriksen, Sánchez, Downing, Elia
    Agüero, Kane, Giroud

    Just realised I drew no 3 in the world in the paddy power cup 🙁

    6 points for Terry and we will have tied - then what happens?
