The FFS Cup III, sponsored by Paddy Power: The Qualifiers

The short wait to find out the magic number needed to qualify for the third Fantasy Football Scout Cup, sponsored by Paddy Power, is over. All thanks to my colleague SUPERIOR BEING for producing the results so quickly.

A fantastic turnout for the qualifying round saw 1,283 fantasy managers fighting it out for just 510 places. After hits, a score of 49 or above is good enough for the first round. For the 43 fantasy managers sitting on 48 points for the week, you will have to click here to see if you made the grade, as your qualification is dependant on overall rank…

With odds so slim, it’s no surprise to see so many big names drop out at this early stage. Amongst others, contributors SIR PAULOS (46), Big Dunc (42), Andy (43), SUPERIOR BEING (37), Da Beeeez (38) and Money Mike (38) all missed the cut, leaving just six contributors left in the Cup.

So onto the first round proper now, where Jonty and donnellyc join us. The fixtures for which will be published a few days before the next deadline (although I may not make you wait that long).

Thanks again to everyone who entered, congratulations to the qualifiers, and commiserations to those missing the cut.

        Hey Akers, My score was 50 not 41 as you have on the list. It doesn't seem to have taken into account the substitutions...

          Hi Bananaman, just checked the email you sent me and you actually sent me a link for a league, rather than a team....

          "Scout Username: Bananaman

          Team Link: http://fantasy.premierleague.com/M/table.mc?id=38861"

          I hope you can appreciate that when sifting through dozens of emails at a time and taking the ID numbers, it's easy for me not to notice it was a league link.

          Unfortunately, because you submitted an incorrect link I can't put you through, as it would be unfair to those who submitted an entry correctly and would then miss out.

          Apologies.
