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

530 Comments

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

In the Fantasy Football Scout Cup XI the cut off for qualification was 81 points,  with rank deciding entry for those who scored exactly that tally in Gameweek 28. The rankings cut off was 150,163rd place.

One of the most eye catching ties in this open entry tournament is former champion Wild Rover’s match up against our team news man Demi.

Among our other cup winners Gribude will take on Snotgrass, reigning champion CMIFLFC faces Toon_army_htl, Goonerdave squares up to Blue Mooners, former champ MCH takes on Aliminator and Jonty (that’s me) faces Big Dolls.

Chris8910 is among those hoping to claim a high profile scalp, when he takes on Mark, whose Scoutcast co-host Granville sadly failed to qualify. Powerslice will be hoping Paul slips up to see him through to the next round.

Other notable community matchups include Hvt’s clash with 1966 was a great year.

In the Members Cup V, the cut off for qualification was also 81 points. As with the Paddy Power Cup, rank is the decider for those who matched this cut off score in Gameweek 28. The ranking cut off point for this competition was 2,515th.

Former winner Trigg faces the toughest task among our former champions as he squares up to world number one Dufflinks. Another former winner Fuzzy Dunlop also faces a familiar name, when he takes on Jafooli.

Shiregeriatric has the task of attempting to oust Mark from the Members Cup, while Dynamic takes on Paul.

Other familiar names from our community facing up to each other include Innsie’s match up with Shatner’s Bassoon and Torresmagic’s first round tangle with Shipstontrev.

The full draw for the Fantasy Football Scout Cup XI can be found here, while the 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.

      Lescott or Wisdom for BAPS, although Wisdom hasn't featured for some weeks now. Dawson probably edging it on the goal front.
      Baird for a punt (if he starts), but Lescott safest all round.

          I'd do the double but I'm a firm believer in the idea that defensive rotation decisions should be isolated from GKs. You do whichever is likely to score most.

        I don't see us hammering West Ham and Giroud might come off early with Tuesday in mind (same issues with Aguero). Giroud just isn't as explosive as Aguero (two double digit hauls vs. four) so it's risky if you're defending a lead.

        Naughton

        Reason : Liverpool has blanked against Blackburn Rovers at home, so Swansea returning with a CS is a more than better bet and add to that Naughton's attacking impact. Chelsea will score, no matter what.

      Don't you members feel a bit hard done by the extra info this site gives out? My girlfriend is playing her first season and is ranked 2000 in the world. All she does is read the articles and read the comments made by members.

      P.S. Its embarrassing to see you struggle for 6 seasons and a girl come and master the game in her first season. 😀

      Bertrand Fonte Jones Wollscheid Lescott

      is doing Jones>Dawson unreasonable? I'd start him this week and WBA rotate well with Southampton. Down the line I could do Lescott>Naughton as well.
