For the 128 fantasy managers left in the Fantasy Football Scout Cup II, sponsored by Paddy Power, the draw has been made, and the full list of 64 fixtures can be viewed here. For the rest of us, here is a brief round-up of some notable ties…
The manager to avoid in the third round was surely NBJ, after his two successive top scores in the cup that took him from 3,111st in the world, to 374th. Unlucky then for K3lviN who is up against the early favourite for the cup.
Should NBJ do the unthinkable and achieve the top score, then he will win the weekly prize on offer, of a free £25 bet courtesy of Paddy Power.
The third round draw has thrown up some big ties, with the eliminator of defending champion donnellyc, Joe, taking on Evs. The top-ranking manager in the competition, ZB FC (currently 3rd in the world), takes on top 500 opponent Little Lukin.
Elsewhere, The_Monk, who defeated greek fan in the first round, is up against Jonny, conor2me takes on Burton, and SammyC is matched-up with Scratch.
Arguably the glamour tie of the round sees Louie and TorresMagic battle it out this weekend.
The two remaining Scout contributors Granville and I’m Not Marshal Foch have been drawn against hoges and jodybarnes respectively.
All ties to be played in Gameweek 32. Results from the third round will be made available as soon as possible, and the fourth round draw will take place a day or two before the Gameweek 33 deadline.
Good luck to all!
