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

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

John Terry’s Dog proved that rank is no barrier to success after trouncing 407th placed Mjfdept in the FFS Paddy Power Cup XI to book a place in round four. Our plucky underdog, who is ranked 48,093rd faces another tough tie, though, when he takes on 1,494th placed Morley.

The FFS Paddy Power Cup’s only remaining former champion Jonty (that’s me) eased past Pekka and takes on wagwan in round four.

Mark was another notable round three victor and faces Rook in the next round. Other eye-catching round four ties include Ryan’s clash with Horlicks and Paul’s match with fuml_akimbo.

The FFS Paddy Power Cup XI’s highest ranked manager is sixth placed BegTets, who faces Mndgms (81,398 overall) in round four.

Meanwhile, in the fifth Fantasy Football Scout Members Cup John Terry’s Dog has beaten the odds again after powering past 69th placed Anonymous to book a round four tie with 3,174th ranked TMIDrew.

Other ties in round four include Tommytour’s match with Billy Ketsu and Tuttifrutti’s clash with Shipstontrev.

    So we can't get Cesc in case he gets a yellow card...and we can't get Remy in case Costa does one of his famous not injured anymore miracle recoveries....mmmm...

      The way Costa walked off the field last week, IMO, there is no way he comes back in this week or next. Especially when this was a re-injury of a sore hamstring. He'd be making the same mistake over again. They will be more cautious because the next injury could be a really bad one. All IMO based on what I saw, and that it was arguably a rush back from a weak hammy to begin with.

        So, to practice what I preach -- I am selling Austin tomorrow, and Remy is at the top of my list. I have the luxury of a WC which I will use to sell Remy IF Costa is deemed fit to return in GW 34 or whatever. My plan is to buy Remy tomorrow (but I may get Murray or Gomis instead), and then sell Remy to Giroud after GW34.

      Who do I bench ivanovic or erik or silva or bellerin or moreno or alder or aguero or sakho. Just need to bench one of them.

    Please pick which 2 players I should start this gameweek:

    a) Bolasie vs Sunderland (a)
    b) Silva vs United (a)
    c) Benteke vs Spurs (a)
    d) Smalling vs City (h)

      A.
      then probably B but C is tempting.
      A&B decided.

      1. Louis99

        I think it's between the first 3, it's hard to turn down benteke with the form he's been in, but it just seems ridiculous to drop silva. I'm leaning towards B and C

    is it foolish to get remy in for benteke now? just feel like if I'm gonna get remy for the DGW anyhow I may as well get the most out of him with a QPR away

    1. ellelelle
      • 9 Years

      Yes.. Benteke is in form. It seems unnecessary if you can save it for next week. Might know more about Costa by then.

      1. Davekitson
        • 9 Years

        thanks bud I'm so tempted by remy with hapless qpr but guess hazard and ivan is enough coverage?

    2. Louis99
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 19 days ago

      It makes sense to get him now

      1. Davekitson
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 19 days ago

        remy? I have hazard and ivan already but surely Chelsea will batter qpr

    Random question: Has anyone finished in the top 100 twice in their FPL careers?

      Julian Hancock came 96th in 2008-9 and 19th in 2009-10.

    Lost my 1st place in my league in GW22 still chasing a 63 point gap. It would have been been 30 if I would have woken up in time changed Hazard to Austin Cap and had the guts to do the Kane >Tekkers move.

    Need some advice GW running out fast!

    Azi> Moreno
    Austin>Giroud

    Current time for this GW

    Krul
    Ivan Azi Clyne
    Mane Hazard Silva Ozil
    Austin Augero(c) Kane

    Bank 3.8M only 1 free transfer.

      Get Giroud, no-brainer

    After some tinkering I've got two options

    A Bellerin Eriksen Giroud >>>Skrtel Coutinho Remy -4

    B Bellerin Eriksen Sanchez Giroud >>> Skrtel Fab Hendo Sturridge -8
