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.

With an overall rank of 41 Everybody knows badgers love mashpotato is the Members Cup’s highest placed manager. He faces Lovzat, who has an overall rank of 14,835, in round four.

    I assume Moreno is a fairly safe pick? Might just do Naughton -> Moreno now, can bench him for the blank no bother.

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

      Fairly safe. Not as safe as Skrtel maybe.

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

        Aye though Skrtel misses this week which is a let down.

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

          Yeah, Moreno safe enough I reckon

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

            Hopefully, cheers!

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

      Think I'm making the same move this week.

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

        Aye, no wildcard so might as well make the best possible moves going for the next couple of weeks. 4 or 5 DGWers will do me fine tbh.

  2. Je suis le chat
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Emm, Leicesters fixtures are good. Is Cambiaso worth a punt maybe in for Boyd? I had similar notions about Phillips last gw but chickened out.

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

      I reckon so

      1. JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I am going for Cambiasso on the advice of Davies

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

          Only risk is he *could* get reduced minutes over the DGW due to his age. Probably not though because he's crucial to their chances and they'll probably just play him into the ground.

    2. Enzo the Baker
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Unlikely that you will play him when it counts in GW34 right ? Hazard Silva Hendo Sterling/Coutinho might be the template

      1. Je suis le chat
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Maybe play Camb with Haz, Silva and Hendo, would allow me to bench Alexis and have for gw 37. Need to save the transfers.

    3. TuttiFrutti
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      No, my friend. He is not. Go look for someone cheaper. That is my gift to you.

      1. TuttiFrutti
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        And if you dont have wildcard, swapping fifth mids, is not how you want to spend your transfers.

  3. royals forever

    Are anyof you are getting Sturridge this week for the Newcastle game or waiting for the actual DGW to get him in

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

      Not sure I'll bother with him unless Aguero keeps failing.

  4. Old Schoolᴼˢ “disa…
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Philips to Fabregas or
    Austin to murray

    1. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      2nd

      Fabs may not play

      1. Old Schoolᴼˢ “disa…
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah thought of this but if he doesn't play then Austin will come on instead.

        That way I get a Chelsea dgw player....

        Going fab

        1. Old Schoolᴼˢ “disa…
          • 12 Years

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years

          assuming he doesn't get booked of course 😉

          1. Old Schoolᴼˢ “disa…
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Good point hmmmmm

  5. The Quiff
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Can I get an opinion or two on which of these is a better option for the next two GWs only?

    A) Ivanovic
    B) Baines
    C) a SOT defender
    D) Dann

    1. Ross Geller
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      A

    2. The Quiff
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      or E) any other recommendation

    3. ellelelle
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      B) I think.

      Solid recent performance of Everton.. attacking potential.. good fixtures.

      1. The Quiff
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        That's my current inclination. The GW33 fixture is the most important one as I'll be fielding 10 (at most) and whoever I get has to play that week. A good GW32 fixture is a bonus. Also, I'd like the thrill/disappointment of owning Baines one more time this season.

  6. Klopp's Kids
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Has pellegrini said anything about ditching the 442?

    1. Daniel Levy- Not the Chairm…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      No but he can't be stupid another to use it again can he?

  7. Daniel Levy- Not the Chairm…
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Cazorla-->Henderson/Coutinho sideways this GW when I can still get 11 out next GW?

  8. Fiona B
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    I see a lot of people on here picking Hendo as a definite DGW.

    Is there any concern that with Gerrard back his points will drop? E.g. not on pens or set pieces anymore

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

      Stevie G unlikely to be playing I think. Maybe a pain if he comes on as a sub and robs a penalty.

    2. Numb
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Good point. High chance that Gerrard may play one of the DGW games?

    3. Daniel Levy- Not the Chairm…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      he won't play 180minutes

  9. Marian Kuna Guero
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Would you rather have this week?

    A.
    Sanchez (bur)
    Henderson (NEW)
    B.
    Cazorla (bur)
    Henderson (NEW)
    C.
    Cazorla (bur)

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

    Which one will score more points over GW33-34?

    A) Gomis (lei, new)
    B) Vardy (SWA, bur, CHE)

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

      Vardy

  11. Lyonnais
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    GW32 Austin ---> Remy

    GW33 Save FT, and field this XI:
    Krul
    Terry, Clyne, Dawson / PVA, Hutton
    Hazard, Silva, Eriksen, Boyd / Mane
    Remy, Kane, Agüero

    GW34 Hutton, Eriksen, Mane ---> Skrtel, Coutinho/Sterling, Henderson -4
    Krul
    Terry, Skrtel, PVA / Clyne, Dawson
    Hazard, Silva, Coutinho/Sterling, Henderson / Boyd
    Remy, Kane, Agüero

    6x DGW for -4

    Your opinion ?

    1. Daniel Levy- Not the Chairm…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Ye looks good. Getting 7x DGW for -4 here.

  12. Farcelona
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Mini league leader has this team:

    Pantilimon
    Fonte - Clyne - Bertrand
    Fabregas - Hazard - Sanchez - Downing
    Kane - Costa - Austin

    Bench: PvA, Moreno, Bolasie

    How do I beat this? I'm 132 points behind, so catching up is a long shot. I'm not sure who to have.

    I currently have:

    Pantilimon
    Terry - Alderweireld - Bellerin
    Eriksen - Silva - Hazard - Ozil
    Kane - Sturridge - Aguero

    Bench: Gibson, McShane, Wisdom

    Thinking that Pantilimon, Alderweireld and Wisdom need to go, not sure who else.

    1. The Mandalorian
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Your best chance is to send him a lapdancer on Satuday morning and hope he forgets to set out his team.

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

        Haha fair, worked out that I'll need to average about 75 points per week to beat him - probably not going to happen.

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

    So for those of us not smuggly sitting on a WC, the big question is, how many hits is it worth taking for DGW34?

    I'm thinking 2

    1. Old Schoolᴼˢ “disa…
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      About right

    Is everyone convinced Remy will make it to the DGW with consistent starts?

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

      not convinced, but call me optimistic...?

    2. Daniel Levy- Not the Chairm…

      Gonna do Austin-->Remy next GW for this reason.

      1. Ross Geller
        • 14 Years

        Hey Davies... One question. Why do you think Schlupp is suddenly not assured of starts anymore?

        1. davies
          • 9 Years

    It is quite a sight, watching over you, students.

    I see you running around looking for the answer, but maybe you should stop looking around you, and rather look inside you. That is where i found the path to nirvana. Right there, deep inside my haert.

    Keep looking. I'm watching over you all.

        lottery numbers are irrelevant. Do you think God cares about lottery-numbers? It is only FPL that can lead to salvation. My friend, you have a long way to go.

    Two questions please:

    1. Who will be the highest point scorer this week from these Liverpool assets;
    A. Henderson
    B. Coutinho
    C. Sterling

    2. Which midfielder would you bench (not transfer out) for the previous asset for this GW;
    A. Mane (HUL)
    B. Silva (man)
    C. Hazard (qpr)
    D. Eriksen (AST)
    E. None

    1. Daniel Levy- Not the Chairm…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Henderson will be up for it against Newcastle.
      Hazard Obviously (joking, mane if any)

    2. AgentRed
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'd play any of those Liverpool players over Mane. Probably Coutinho 1st choice.

    Can anybody care to explain why is everyone considering Remy for the DGW? All of us know Costa will somehow return and start at least one of those matches.

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

      "All of us know"?

      I don't. I think it's quite unlikely. And I don't think you "know" either.

      Basically your post is misguided, assumptive and wrong.

      1. Old Schoolᴼˢ “disa…
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        What a horrible response.... Disgusting

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

          Disgusting is pejorative and I am shocked you would say that.

          People posting "all of us know" when that's not the case annoys me. Is that not permissible?

          Misguided = believing that Costa isn't significantly injured
          Assumptive = that everyone else agrees
          Wrong = stating that "everyone knows" when in fact no-one knows for sure.

          My response might have been terse but "disgusting" is an extremely harsh condemnation.

      Lots think he won't but as you say you never know.... I considered it and then decided against as want guaranteed DGW Chelsea players... If Maureen says anything in press conference I may change my mind

        Yeah,may be.
        But I was taking into account his injury record,he always returns earlier than expected.

          Then stays yellow flagged for weeks really p1ssing you off

          I agree but think he may actually be out a little while longer this time....

          You never know and I wouldn't risk it personally but lots will and are probably right

            I am steering clear until we know a little more. Remy's gametime could well be split with Drogba anyway so that will be a doubt too. So frustrating because I had that money saved to do Austin to Costa for ages

              Same here... Not for ages but took a punt on kun to tekkers last week to fund it

    Hi all....Can anyone tell me if this looks good?....I'm looking at replacing Sanchez after this game week with fabregas...this means I'll have 3 Chelsea players all lined up for gw 33 with Austin benched......I'll then look to bring in skrlt, hendO and sterling for gw 34 at a cost of minus 4 (have a spare ft)
    I'll then have 6 dgw players with cash to buy back Sanchez and buy giroud plus Ramsey or cazorla for arsenals dgw.
    does that sound like a plan?
    it means I don't have to bother myself with the remy will he won't he issue.

      Sounds like a good plan, go for it.

    Caution about Leicester. DGW games are away to Burnley and home to Chelsea. They are in a relegation scrap, I understand but Turf Moor is somewhat of a fortress and Chelsea may well thump them. Just be wary is all I shall say.

              call me friend, brother, brother in arms, leader, mentor, or whatever you want. I will always have an ear open for you, fellow FPL-genius.
