Our Fantasy Football Scout Cup contests are edging closer to their nailbiting conclusion with just 32 teams remaining in both.
In the fifth round of the open to all Fantasy Football Scout Cup three of our four remaining previous winners Mark, Ninja Fit Saints and Gribude made it through the next stage. However, Sleepysi misses out on the chance to become the first manager to win the cup twice, with his score of 88 not enough to overcome David Slade’s impressive 102 point haul.
Mark, who is placed at 19,657 in the overall standings, notched the same score as Sleepysi, but in his case it proved to be more than enough to earn a giant killing victory over 1,307 ranked FPL Poker Player’s Kane-less side. This former winner faces another highly placed manager in the next round when he squares up to 3,427 ranked ezdmanx.
Ninja Fit Saints also has a tough tie, as he has been matched against POLSTER, who is ranked more than 152,000 places above him. In contrast Gribude is just 3,656 places behind his round sixth opponent Hamadahoda007.
The Scoutcast’s Az marches on and takes his 1,293 ranked team into a sixth round tie with 7,778 placed You, Me and Firmino.
Meanwhile, former FPL winner Tom Fenley also makes it through and earns an encounter with Icepickle, who is ranked just 1,120 places above him.
The competition’s only two remaining top 1,000 placed managers United Come On (ranked 943) and FFScout Members league leader Elvarus (ranked 115) have drawn each other in a heavyweight round six encounter.

In the Members Cup the last remaining FFScout staffer, Mark, was seen off by John Nerdelbaum, who hopes to claim kwapsy as his next scalp in round five.
This contest’s only remaining top 2,000 ranked manager Fozilla28 (1,740th) will now clash with 36,088 placed Cheeseoid, while the encounter between Gnu and Spike looks even tougher to call, with the former just 7,102 places above his fellow FFS community veteran.
You can view the full results from the fourth round of Members Cup can be found here, while the draw for the fifth round – also played out over Gameweek 21 – is here.
Due to the tightly congested fixture list both cup contests will be taking a break during Gameweek 22 and will resume in Gameweek 23.
