FFS Cup

Fantasy Football Scout Cups – Quarter Final Draws

Our cup competitions are edging closer to their conclusion with just eight teams now remaining in both contests.

The seventh round of the Fantasy Football Scout cup in the main went by form, with those with a higher rank prevailing.

This included victory for the contest’s highest placed manager, Elvarus, who is 159th in the overall rankings and saw off 1,679 placed Scoutcaster Az. This high flying victor has another tough match in the quarter finals when he takes on the next highest placed remaining manager, David Slade (rank 1,455).

Former FPL winner Tom Fenley’s 13,516 ranked team edged past Double Blue, who is 47,144 places behind him, to set up a last eight battle with Brakeff (rank 25,911), who was one of only two round seven giant killers after comfortably easing past 2,481 placed Roonatic 85-50.

SaxilbyGaribaldi is the other lower ranked manager to beat the odds in round seven, when his 21,579 placed side took out 3,004 ranked Catdeeleyisgorgeous. He will have to rip up the form book once again when he takes on TH14, who is 14,124 places above him.

The last quarter final looks to be a closer affair, with just 5,874 places separating ezdmanx (rank 2,125) and POLSTER (rank 7,999).

The results from the Fantasy Football Scout seventh round can be found here, while the quarter final draw is here.

The Members Cup quarter finals also sees the two highest ranked managers square up to each other, when 770 placed The Albatross faces 1,034 ranked Root.

Two other remaining managers are placed in the top 5,000 with Albertini (ranked 1,485) surely the favourite against 73,50 ranked rrcmc, while 3,651 placed graslauk encounters rama96ab (rank 67,811).

The other tie sees Gloria Kanchelskis (rank 27,122) go head to head with community veteran Fitzy. (32,539).

    How essential is Aguero then folks?

    Thinking DCL/Son > Aguero/5.5m to give:

    DDG
    Otamendi Christensen Ogbonna (Mee Dunk)
    Salah Sterling Lingard 5.5 (RLC)
    Kane Firmino Aguero

    Or....just keep it simple and get Arnie?

    Different answer if my main rivals have none of Arnie, Son or Aguero? Sergio upside could be huge!!

    Cheers

      Wouldn’t do it.

    2. FlockofSeagulls
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Not essential but a very nice differential to have this gw if you own him.

    With the imminent return of Tom Heaton...thoughts on Schmeichel as a Pope replacement?

    - Good fixtures to end of season.
    - 11pts behind 2nd place Courtois in GK standings (7 behind Pope).
    - 4th for Saves.
    - joint first for GK bonus with Pope and Pickford (12baps)

    Interested to see thoughts as I've not seen him in any RMT's that I can remember anyway!

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Pickford FTW

      1. Legomané
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Soup du jour

    2. FlockofSeagulls
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      I prefer Pickford but Schmeichel could be a decent option considering the fixtures.

      1. Legomané
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Currently have Pope and Kenny, so the combo of Heaton and Coleman could force a Pickford Mee switcheroo. Alonso tempted to move Elliot > Heaton and double up of Heaton Pope...til WC, but funds are tight enough as it is...

  3. Mikha In A Tutu

    Is it sensible to get rid of Hazard before Brighton?
    If so, who for?
    A) Mahrez
    B) Mané
    C) Eriksen
    D) KDB

    1. FlockofSeagulls
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      There's nothing sensible about owning Haz atm.

      I'd get Mane out of that lot.

    2. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      I did, for Salah...wouldn't bother for any of your list

    3. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Mahrez if you will. I am keeping faith though.

  4. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Bournemouth vs WBA fairly likely now in GW31.

    1. TorresMagic™

      King time.

      1. Legomané
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        I keep wanting to steer to King as 2nd striker and he keeps getting knocks...looks like he's out of the reckoning this season 🙁

    2. FPL Virgin

      Rainer Crellin.

  5. Andy1
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Got 2 ft, 1.6m in the bank and no idea what to to. 

    Any ideas

    Pickford Adrian
    Alonso ota Jones Kenny ogbonna
    Salah sterling son lingard rlc
    Kane firmino quaner

    Thinking I get rid of either
    Kenny
    Ogbonna
    Rlc
    Quaner

    Which is priority?

    1. MTPockets
        6 years, 3 months ago

        RLC or Quaner

      • #FPLBhuna
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Rlc to ox or shaqiri a nice punt

    2. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Anyone apart from me keepong Hazard?

      1. ZeBestee
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Keepin' *

      2. The Big Fella
        • 7 Years

        Tumbleweed.............

      3. Debauchy
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Seems not

      4. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Right here.

      5. Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        I am holding on for the fixtures. Needs to show improvement against Brighton do.

    3. FPLAdmiral
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Would you take this tanked XI even if the bench was craptacular? Seriously considering going all in!

      Pope
      Alonso, Azpi, Otamendi, Jones
      KDB, Sterling, Salah, Arnie
      Kane, Firmino

      (J.Pereira)(T.Caroll, McBurnue, Mbemba)

      1. FlockofSeagulls
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Only if you've already played BB and don't care about potential rotation when the double gws arrive.

        1. FPLAdmiral
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          I think the above is more for the run up to DGW, not for the rest of the season. Will obviously load up on DGW players and use WC/BB to move things around later!

      2. Royal5
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        A good bench is overrated imo

      3. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        GW28 could be

        Pope
        Mbemba
        Salah Arnie TC
        Kane Firmino McBurnie

        1. FPLAdmiral
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          Not seen the blanks mapped out for GW28 - anywhere I can see this?

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 14 Years
            6 years, 3 months ago

            Semi finals 2nd legs next week.

      4. MTPockets
          6 years, 3 months ago

          Maybe, if there's a plan for 6+2 potential non-players gw28.

      5. william prunier
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        What would you do with this lot?...
        Courtois Green
        Otamendi Azpili Jones Vertonghen Daniels
        Salah Sterling Son Richarlison RLC
        Kane Firm DCL
        2FT 0.3ITB

        1. FlockofSeagulls
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          I'd downgrade Vert and DCL and upgrade Rich and RLC.

          1. william prunier
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 3 months ago

            For a - 8?

            1. FlockofSeagulls
              • 6 Years
              6 years, 3 months ago

              Probably not a -8 but those are the areas I'd be focusing on over the next couple gws.

      6. The Big Fella
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Is Pickford worth the extra 0.6m over Adrian do we think?

        1. william prunier
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          Probably not

        2. Rainer
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          Yes, West Ham only seem to focus on the clean sheets when playing the big boys.

        3. FlockofSeagulls
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          Yes.

        4. MTPockets
            6 years, 3 months ago

            Not yet.

        5. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          Mkhi at 7.6 at Arsenal... surely that has potential to be unbelievable value?

          1. Royal5
            • 12 Years
            6 years, 3 months ago

            Could defo be. He was brilliant in the start of the season. Not sure why Mourinho hates him. Could be gold if he links up with Laca.

            1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
              • 14 Years
              6 years, 3 months ago

              Yep, he could be gold, hope this deal goes through

            2. FlockofSeagulls
              • 6 Years
              6 years, 3 months ago

              Mourinho hates him because he's physically weak, because of this struggles to make any impact when pressing or tracking back, and turns the ball over far too often.

              All things that Mourinho despises.

              At Arsenal he should have more freedom but not sure how he'll fit in with Ozil given both are defensively inept.

          2. The Big Fella
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 3 months ago

            If he gets played............

            1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
              • 14 Years
              6 years, 3 months ago

              Slot straight in for Alexis?

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

            Possibly, but he could also carry on being shit like he was at Man Utd.

            1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
              • 14 Years
              6 years, 3 months ago

              He could indeed... but at 7.6 there's not much downside, and an awful lot of upside

              1. Epic Fail
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 13 Years
                6 years, 3 months ago

                True enough. Especially as people are considering Walcott for a similar price.

          4. Syd.
            • 14 Years
            6 years, 3 months ago

            Has the potential but I wouldn't touch him with a barge pole not even sure why Arsenal are interested in him

            1. Royal5
              • 12 Years
              6 years, 3 months ago

              Player of the year in bundesliga 2016, above Lewandowski and Aubamayang.

          5. ZeBestee
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 3 months ago

            He had like over 20 assists in the bundesliga. I can see him flourishing at Arsenal.

            1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
              • 14 Years
              6 years, 3 months ago

              I think their style will fit him much more than Mourinho's he could become a bit of a talisman. Something similar to Pires or Overmars

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            6 years, 3 months ago

            underperforming player signs for underperforming football club that have just lost their best player. pass.

          7. Gnu
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            6 years, 3 months ago

            He will be a good fit for Arsenal with his lightweight attitude and ability to hide in big games.
            Nor for me thanks.
            Now Theo, that might be interesting......

            1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

          Chelsea looking good. I’d love Willian at United.

            Sanchez not enough?

            1. FPL Blow-In
              • 11 Years
              6 years, 3 months ago

              If it does indeed go through. Willian has such a good work rate and attitude though.

              • 11 Years

        12. CloudSky
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          Deal done. Alexis Sanchez is a Manchester United player on a 3.5 year deal with option for an extra year.

          Mkhitaryan heading the other way on a 4 year deal

          Fee undisc. but believed to be £20-25m.

          Announcement likely on Friday after club media profiling is complete.

              Thats how I understood it.

              1. ZeBestee
                • 9 Years
                6 years, 3 months ago

                United have been robbed there.

                1. CloudSky
                  • 7 Years
                  6 years, 3 months ago

                  Its a lot for a player that has 6 months left on a contract. On the other hand, its Sanchez.

                  1. ZeBestee

                    Taking into account the agent fee, Sanchez' wages plus the 20m top. Sanchez is 29 so no resale value. Thats crazy business.

              No both valued at 20-25 I think

              1. Nascimento
                • 8 Years
                6 years, 3 months ago

                Then there is no fee.

                1. Podge
                  • 13 Years
                  6 years, 3 months ago

                  No. The agents get 15-20% of the value so they will both be valued so they get their cut.

            If that's the case then I'm going to have to eat some humble pie. I didn't think that there was any chance of them getting him. Still too expensive for FPL though.

            Which is the best decision:

            A) Fabianski > Pickford
            B) Eriksen,Fabianski > Mahrez, Pickford -4
            C) Eriksen,Fabianski,DCL > Mahrez,Pickford,Wilson -8

            currently GW24:
            Fabianski
            Otamendi,Jones,Alonso,Ogbonna
            Sterling,Salah,Son,Arnautovic,Eriksen
            Kane

            Alli----> Mahrez on FT?

            Got Son and Kane

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 3 months ago

              Im thinking about Eriksen to Mahrez having got the other 2 as well. think 3 is too many given the other great fixtures around.
              See above

              • 7 Years
              6 years, 3 months ago

              Not watching so assume Courtois saved it?

                • 11 Years
                6 years, 3 months ago

                free kick straight into GK s gut

            • 9 Years
            6 years, 3 months ago

            Pick 2 for my DRAFT team :
            A) Arnautovic
            B) Lanzini
            C) Albrighton
            D) Walcott
            E) Mkhitaryan (assuming he plays for Arsenal)

            1. MTPockets
                6 years, 3 months ago

                A/D (no idea how draft works)

            2. Ronnies
              • 8 Years
              6 years, 3 months ago

              Alli >>> Mahrez - free transfer.

              salah - sterling - alli - arnie - lingard

              Kane (c) firmino

              Tnks guys.

                What makes people think Mahrez is worth his price tag?

              • 9 Years

              The Hennessy / Speroni duo has been great but is it time to say goodbye with the fixtures turning?

              A) Speroni -> Pickford
              B) Save FT

              No other pressing issues

                Good week to sort your GK. Pickford is the popular pick

              Why doesn't cup draw get made on scoutcast? Would give some other interest to the cast

                Harder to fix if it's live.

                Waste of time. The point of the cast isnt live entertainment.

              Is Chilwell suspended after getting sent off against Chelsea? If not, will he likely start against Watford?
