Fantasy Football Scout Cups – Fourth Round Draws

This afternoon we reveal the results from the third rounds of the Fantasy Football Scout Cup XII and Members Cup VI as well as roll out the fourth round draws that take place in Gameweek 26.

In the Fantasy Football Scout Cup XII, all three remaining former winners were ousted, with mch failing in his encounter with Liastro, Wild Rover narrowly losing 64-65 to genkimcclure and Donnellyc missing the chance to replicate his previous success after being soundly beaten 76 points to 54 by dumdumm5.

With a new name guaranteed on the trophy, then, Mr Rabbit will be among the favourites – sitting in 654th position in FPL, he is the highest-ranked manager left in the competition and faces Dr Congo in the fourth round.

Other notable Round 4 ties include whatsupgeeza, who defeated the previous highest-ranked manager Chucky 77 and earns a match against Silva Surfers.

Meanwhile, the custodian of our suspension tightrope Anorak, takes on coffee-geek and our resident physiotherapy expert Facer, who defeated community writer Bowstring the Carp in Round 3, faces Rickytoso.

The full Fantasy Football Scout Cup XII results from Round 3 can be found here, while the Round 4 draw can be found here.

A new name will also be on the Members Cup this year after all former winners departed back in the first round.

Frontrunners include 551st placed Peadarb, the highest ranked manager left in the competition. He faces Alzo Utd in Round 4. Another is former FPL champion Dufflinks (aka Simon March), who has an encounter with kula hiyo fc in Round 4.

The full Members Cup Round 3 results can be found here, while the Round 4 draw can be found here.

      Holy Crap 😯 😯 😯

  1. Nanoelektronicar

    Haven't been this excited about a gameweek for a while. Hope it won't finish with agony. 😀

    1. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Why? The fixtures are tricky.

      1. Nanoelektronicar
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        That's why, lots of uncertainty.

        1. TheSteel

          • 11 Years

          I see you like to live life on tbe edge.

    Holy Jesus Kompany is back! 🙁
    This scuppers my plans for this week, was going to play AOA card with team below.
    Should I reconsider and bench Alli and play a defender(possibly Targett)?
    Alli is on form though....
    Did Kompany not know what I was trying to do this week?!

    Cech
    Toby, Jags
    Alli, Mahrez, Ozil, Sanchez, Payet
    Aguero, Kane, Vardy

    Darlow, Targett, Wolly, Simpson

  3. drokkeh
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    I'm Playing my first chip this GW - AOA - what do you think?

    Butland

    Dann, Alderweirld

    Sanchez, Ozil, Payet, Alli, Lingard

    Aguero (c), Lukaku, Kane

    bench: mcarthy, simpson, targett, dawson

    1. Sess!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Seems sensible

    2. 8ball
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      probably the best week so far to use the all out attack. terrible match ups for the top defenders.

      good luck.

    3. KLOPPS AND ROBBERS... the s…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Same idea as me above, not worried Alli and Kane are vs City who have Kompany back?

      1. drokkeh
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        a bit but he is returning from injury so hoping they are still leaky even with Komps back.

  4. Total Foot 5 - romario 11

    Best FT for Def player? thnx
    already have VVD & Cedric
    alrady have triple Lei

    1.Wimmer ( vert is not coming bak soon)
    2. Bertrand (would be triple Sou. Gw 30 also)
    3. Wolly /or GJ (gw 30)

  5. Sess!

    Has stoke press conference been? When is shawcross due back?

    1. FPL_DON

      27th

      1. Sess!

        Sound

    2. che
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Has been 27th on FPL since he got injured, rumoured to be back sooner but not for this week

  6. Conk
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Uncomfortable owning both Sanchez and Ozil v Leicester
    Would you
    a) play both
    b) bench one and who?
    c) with 2ft and nothing pressing, ditch one and for who? Have payet alli mahrez

    1. Sess!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Play both. Arsenal win.

    2. Jazz!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      A but don't think Arsenal will win

    3. 8ball
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      if you keep both, what are you going to do with the 2fts?

      1. Conk
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Probably get VVD for dawson and roll the other

    4. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      B and C are tricky. But playing both wont pay off as Leicester are much better than Arsenal and will hold them off. Youre in tough but id go with A

    5. Conk
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Cheers all

  7. Now I'm Panicking

    8 years, 2 months ago

    Does anyone know if there is a way of obtaining data to see who the most prolific 128 posters have been on here in the last 12 months, so we can have a "Poster's Cup" (as all of the FFS Cup peeps left in seem to be lurkers)?

    1. andy85wsm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Poor lurkers

    2. Pochecinno
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      12 months discriminates against regular newcomers 😥

      1. Sjaugen
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        I'm scared to check my posts per day.
        Contents per day is OK, I know that's below average

      2. Now I'm Panicking
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Maybe there could be a "rookie" cup as well?

        1. andy85wsm

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Maybe we could just have a "cup" and not separate everyone 🙂

          1. Now I'm Panicking
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 2 months ago

            Like the Member's cup not letting non-members play? 😉

            • 9 Years
            8 years, 2 months ago

            Minimum qualification - 5 pages in the last 30 days?

            1. RedLightning
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 13 Years
              8 years, 2 months ago

              That sounds very reasonable - I'm currently on 6.

          3. Jafooli
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 2 months ago

            Individual cups for everyone?

            Everyone wins.

        2. Sjaugen
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Let's all be winners 🙂

      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      You can check people's past 30 days

    3. andy85wsm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      I think it would involve a lot of counting of everyones posts.

      The data is probably around somewhere but not going to be available I imagine

    4. RedLightning
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Why not just ask for volunteers and then count their posts if there are more than 128?

    5. RedLightning
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      ...You would be able to see the number of pages of posts in the last 30 days from their profiles, and perhaps you could also award a few wildcard entries to other names that you recognised as having been regular posters.

  8. moz_1983

    I have 2 free transfers to play with and was thinking of shipping out Monreal for a few GWs as they have relatively tough fixtures coming up. I was toying with the idea of bringing a Chelsea defender (especially for the NEW fixture tomorrow).

    Pointless move? If not, which Chelsea defender would you be tempted to bring in? Thanks for any tips, all.

    1. 8ball
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      monreal price is going to drop tonight, so it would be a good time to do it.

      moreno for azpi

      1. Sjaugen
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Why are people ditching Nacho? Getting more points than Bellerin for ages

        1. moz_1983
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          I've had him for a while and he gets much more BPS than Bellerin, good point. I'll be looking to bring him back in when I wildcard in a few weeks.

  9. Cocky Spaniel Alves
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Who should I bench?

    A) Alli (mci)
    B) Mahrez (ars)
    C) Barkley (WBA)
    D) Payet (nor)

    1. 8ball
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Alli

    2. Hotdogs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      tricky... but probably Alli

    3. moz_1983
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Alli.

    4. OzilFozzil

  10. Hotdogs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Pick one to bench this week:

    A. Arnautovic (bou)
    B. Vardy (ars)

    Already playing Mahrez

    1. Conk
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Vardy

      1. Conk
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Sorry misread, id bench arnie

  11. Adderz
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Is Payet really worth it over Antonio?

    1. Sjaugen
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Yes.

    2. VS10_
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Hasn't been recently and Antonio has more goal threat. That said I feel like Payet is so involved that he has to start getting some decent points soon.

      1. moz_1983
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        I understand he's been out of position recently due to injuries to others, he should be back in a central role soon though.

    3. Shah G
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      I bad game from Antonio and he'll become a rotation threat.. Moses, Lanzini, Valencia, all in line...

      1. FortunesAlwaysHiding
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Yes

  12. Bøss ⭐
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    tricky knowing who to play in defense this week, currently on:

    Williams (SOU), Targett (swa), Moreno (avl)

    benching - Bellerin (LEI) and Huth (ars)

    Hopefully the Swansea Southampton game is a 0-0 snoozefest!

    1. Nanoelektronicar
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      I think it's correct choice. I'm benching Bellerin and Simpson.

  13. Jafooli
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    What is the PL record for consecutive CS's? Surely SOT can't keep it up, already six in a row? Missed the bus?

    1. Eden Hazardous

      2. Eden Hazardous
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Seriously , maybe , maybe not but I prefer SOT much more than STO/NEW and marginally better than LEI

        1. Jafooli
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Cheers EH...

    2. Shah G
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Dont remember how many CS there was but i think VDS holds the record for most mins w.o conceding goal (around 1200 mins) before Santa Cruz scored for blackburn...

      Rojo back next week I hear. Not sure what that entails.

  15. Zizoulicious
    • 8 Years

    Sanchez(c) anyone?

    Kompany back has put me off Kane/Alli

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      He's my (vc).

      1. Zizoulicious
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Nice. Who are you captaining this week?

        1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Payet for me. 🙂

          1. Zizoulicious
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 2 months ago

            Strongly considered him as well! Just concerned about lack of involvement in and around the box... Not sure if he's getting enough shots in 😮

              1. Zizoulicious
                • 8 Years
                8 years, 2 months ago

                Pretty impressive numbers actually! I am tempted, especially if he's likely to play no.10. I think Sanchez has a higher ceiling but more chance of a blank. I will probably make a last minute decision 😛

                Why do you think Lukaku is so low down for SoT btw? Martinez's fault?

    2. Bøss ⭐
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      I had it on him, but then decided he hasn't shown enough yet to warrant that and it would be a pretty big punt.

      I have it on Aguero, but very tempted to put it on Payet due to how leaky Norwich have been and he looks in good form

      1. Zizoulicious
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah Payet was going through my mind as well, purely based in th fixture. But he hasn't shown too much form either! Not going Aguero as I think Spurs will dominate the game

        1. Bøss ⭐
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Payet looked good in the cup game, but it did go to extra time so he might not play 90mins which puts me off a bit.

          Spurs won't dominate the game, they should be tighter with Kompany back and Aguero can create chances out of nothing. I think he's good for maybe 1 goal which is better than a Sanchez blank

          1. Zizoulicious
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 2 months ago

            Agree that Sanchez is more likely to blank than Kun. But against Spurs I don't see more than a single goal for him. Sanchez on the other hand has another explosion in him soon.

  16. KingOllie
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    As Kompany is back. Should i bench Alli and play Mahrez? Tough decision. Was starting Alli before

    1. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Yes. Kompany will mangle Alli.

  17. Eh, just one more thing ...
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Start Wijnaldum, Alli or Ward?

  18. new article
  19. drokkeh

    As I own: aguero and lukaku

    Makes sense to do lukaku -> vardy after this gw due to the blanks??

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Currently have a defence of:

    Toby (cty), Bellerin (LEI), Moreno (avl)

    Would you do one of Dawson / Moreno -> VVD??

    If Dawson then I'd bench Bellerin. If Moreno, then I'd play VVD instead.
