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

This afternoon we roll out the fifth round draw of the Fantasy Football Scout Cup XI, as sponsored by Paddy Power, as well as the fifth round draw for the Fantasy Football Scout Members Cup.

The FFS Paddy Power Cup XI’s only surviving former champion Jonty (that’s me) scraped into the next round by the slenderest of margins, with rank deciding my clash with wagwan after we both earned 51 points in Gameweek 32. I will now take on The Flying Nugget in round five.

Mark also progressed after squeaking past Rook by just three points to set up a round five tie with Bartowski. Fuml_akimbo, who has a rank of 50 and was the conqueror of Paul in the fourth round will now face Reggie Boy in round five.

Among other eye-catching round five ties is John Terry’s Dog’s match up with NeedleVor, while Ryansquares up to Super-Hans.

The manager with the highest round four score was arob100, who wins £25 worth of free bets with Paddy Power.

The highest ranked remaining manager in the FFS Paddy Power Cup XI is 15th placed BegTets, who has a tough tie against 928th ranked Jon Nurse.

In the Members Cup ties intriguing ties include Billy Ketsu’s match with Footygod19 and Johni00’s clash with Needlevor.

The highest ranked manager in the Members Cup is 34th placed Everybody knows badgers love mashpotato, who faces Green_Libero.

The full fifth round draw for the FFS Paddy Power Cup XI can be found here, while the fifth round 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.

      Surely Walters wont score a pen against Sunderland, you should be home and dry.

      1. John t penguin
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Depends who he brings in for Sanchez or giroud
        Spton CS could win it for me

    Bayern doing well...

    • 13 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    After the debacle last week I'm in a very precarious place. Which one of these approaches would you go for? I have a 30 point lead...

    A) Cancel Murray and fabregas (-4)

    B) Keep Remy and have 2 FT going into dgw (opponent will (c) Murray and I will Aguero)

    Which is more lucrative do you believe? Thanks in advance! 🙂

    1. Debauchy
      • 11 Years

      If any positives in Friday presser re Remy then B

        I'm not sure he's going to say anything conclusive.

        Really uncomfortable in this remy bed and fancy murray to get another 2 figure haul 🙁

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          go murray then
          -can't trust maureen-and would you rather face united or wba?

            • 13 Years

            Yeah may have to do this tonight then

  5. The Sarjeant
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Anyone think Bayern can still win? Tempted to put a bit on.

    1. The ghost of a Pug's g…
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Maybe not the game but fancy them to go through...

    2. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      It's the defence that have been at fault. Unlikely for me.

    3. The Sarjeant
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Took a punt anyway lol.

      1. 32chickens
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        just like bilko......

  6. Colonel Shoe 肝池
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    do we think remy will play........?

    1. 32chickens
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      no
      ....
      in my waters

    Messi post...

    1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      nah its fine mate, dont be so harsh on yerself

    2. Jafooli
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Not sure he can, he's in the middle of a game.....

    3. 32chickens
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      i'd use the dunny

  8. trygvewiese
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Krul (Panti)
    Ivanovic, Clyne, Dawson (Hutton, van Anholt)
    Hazard, Silva, Sanchez, Eriksen (James)
    Aguero, Kane, Austin

    2FT

    A) Austin->Murray
    B) Austin->Vardy
    C) Hutton->Schlupp

    A or B would probably be for 1-2 weeks then switch to Sturridge if fit for the DGW 34. C would give me a better option than Dawson GW 33 and DGW-defender for DGW 34. I'd then do Austin->Sturridge in DGW 34 if fit.

  9. Jafooli
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Looks like loads of empty seats in at the Porto game?

    1. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Just very well colour coordinated

      1. Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Yea wasn't sure, like everyone has turned up in pre-determined colours....

  10. leo_messi
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Neymar 1-0 Messi assist

  11. The Enlightener

    Slice and dice.

  12. leo_messi
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Thiago Silva injured and out...

    1. Breadbin
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Is he better yet?

  13. Mahesh_Kumar
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Is Skrtel worth -4 for the DGW?

    1. The Sarjeant
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Not in my book.

    2. The ghost of a Pug's g…
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Depends who for. I would be doing it for dawson and guaramnteed I will recoup those points over the DGW and remaining games. Their schedule is quite nice except for 1 game

    3. The Enlightener
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Considering the next 3 fixtures, I don't hate it.

  14. Concrete
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Does everyone still get giddy over Bayern? Most overrated team in Europe

    1. Breadbin
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      What a silly comment.

  15. Waynoo
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    thiago is made of glass

  16. Jafooli
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Bernat concedes two and YC already.

    Should've kept Fabinho's 3pts....

  17. Pringle
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Lukaku worth a punt this weekend?

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Might be.

      1. 32chickens
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        probably not tho
        -recently injured
        -agent turning head of this fella
        -eve ,in form,but little to play for

    2. Pringle
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Thanks guys

  18. DV8R
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Is Moreno likely to play the full 180 mins in the DGW?

    1. Numb
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Unlikely.

  19. SweeSwee
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Anyone care to guess on the likelihood of Wasilewski starting for Leicester this week?

    He's my third defender with a game and I don't really want to take a hit.

    1. 32chickens
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      difficult to say
      davies?
      he came on as a tactical sub for delaet? (who has not had a good year)
      the tactic worked

      1. 32chickens
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        guess
        yes

  20. Numb
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    I wish Needlevor would post more on here. The new wannabe replacements are a bit lame.

    1. Breadbin
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Is he the guy that hates Aaron Ramsey for getting a broken leg against Stoke?

  21. The ghost of a Pug's g…
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Anyone want to talk me out of Remy & Caz ----> Fab & Murray (-4)

    No?

    Good.

    1. 32chickens
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      no
      but you got there first
      why not tho just remy to murray this week-or are you short of players?

    2. Concrete
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      In the same position, Pug. I'm waiting for the press conference for news but I think Remy will start. He wasn't risked because of this United fixture IMO

    3. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      No. It's your team. Do it if you want.

    4. Harvey Specter
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      fab on 9 yellow cards

      1. Epic Fail
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Has to get 15 now.

        1. Harvey Specter
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          aha, I forgot

    5. Dr Ennet
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Not really, but it does not really matter as you already made up your mind 🙂 Good moves mate!

  22. Bun Rab
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    2-1 Bayern Thiago

    1. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Porto 2 - 1 Bayern. Boateng assist i think.

      1. Epic Fail
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Yep.

  23. Forza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Do you think Azpi will start both DGW games?

    1. Breadbin
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      No.

    2. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      No and that's why I'm ditching.

  24. dmcqt
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    What a tackle by Mascherano! Best tackler in the world at the moment.

    1. Breadbin
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      At that exact second you were right.

      1. 32chickens
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        the moment has gone...

    2. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Woy's player of the year, maybe he was right 😯

    3. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Better than my mate John? I doubt it.

  25. Pringle
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    If you had to choose one of the following for this weekend only. Who would you pick?
    Rooney, Lukaku or Fabregas?

    1. Pringle
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Or Remy?

      1. MBK 42
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Lukaku if fit.

        1. Pringle
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Thanks

  26. Jonny Sutt
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    For the next 2 game weeks guys

    A) Cahill hendo giroud
    B) bellerin sterling remy

    Rest of my team looks like this

    Schmeicel myhill
    Ivan Moreno Bruce clyne
    Silva hazard Sanchez Ameobi
    Aguero Kane

    Giroud and bellerin are choices because I already own them and I don't want a -4

  27. Efan Ekoku Pops
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Palace don't really have anything to play for anymore. Is it still worth bringing in Murray against a team fighting to stay up?

    1. Rabbinton
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Palace haven't had anything to play for for a few weeks now but have still got some great results. That asides I fancy Pulis to go ultra defensive against us so I'm steering clear of Murray

      1. 32chickens
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        defensive-
        wont wba be looking for 3 points given their dodgy fixtures and the worry on pulis' face at the end of the last match

    2. 32chickens
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      are palace playing like a team not inspired
      are wba defence looking like the keystone cops?

  28. Jump in Micah
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Why isn't anyone going for Azpi?

    1. bodgejob
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Rotation risk GW34. I reckon Cahill and Azpili one game, Zouma and Luis the other

  29. NeedleVor
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    So other than Mark and Jinty I'm clearly the biggest name still in these ffs cup competitions (as correctly identified by Jonty).

    I know I have the full backing of the rest of the active community and I won't let any of you down.

    1. Gnu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Jonty reckons ( rightly so) that everyone will recognise JTD, as for his competitor the reaction will be "who?"

      1. NeedleVor
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Even though my members tie had been highlighted too? I've been coming here for the last 5 years btw so will be a lot more recognisable to members than JTD

        1. Gnu
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Only because there can't be anybody you haven't pissed off in those 5 memorable years, we've all missed you.

  30. Andy1
    • 15 Years

    Who's the best defender for 5.8m or less?
    A 1 week punt before my wildcard

    1. The Enlightener
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Jaggy Yelks
