Just to a reminder that this Gameweek represents the First Round proper of the Fantasy Football Scout Cup.

For those who came through the Qualifying Round, you can view the draw and get a link to your First Round opponent right here.

Good luck to those involved – apart from tippman of course. Sorry tippman.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    It's going to be such an interesting week in the mini league. All of us have Drogba and most of us dont have good/fit subs.

    Everyone who has Tevez captain is in the lower half. Us lot competing near the top have all chosen a different captain which is quite cool. Spices things up a bit. I have nani vs berbatov / arshavin / malouda.

    I am looking at the fantasy stats of the guy I am playing this week in my mini league. In the Team Finances section it says the following: Transfers (Gameweek / Overall): 3 / 9

    Does this mean that he did three transfers this week, although I cannot see any of them in his team, just the team from last week?

    Or does it mean he did three transfers last GW?

    Can't believe the number of people who've taken Drogs out in mini-leagues. Madness.

    What is it with Cardiff City. they get a great result or two then , then they come up against a team who they should steamroller at home and lose. Its happening again today. not over yet I know but heading the same old way. it must be one frustrating team to follow.

    This is going to be an interesting week. I've seen lots of different captain choices for a change.

      The fall list is not as reliable. Once the player goes above 80-82%, you need to be on full alert.

      Go to the site in question and ask Frank, he will be more than happy to explain how it works.

      the thing is with drogs michael they will all be getting him back in next week so any price drops will be negated with his rise , no worries there, as for bale. personally i have kept him. seems to good to let go just now.

        Drogba will be protected so people buying back won't make his price rise.

        What happens if Chamakh, Allah akbar, scores 2 today, as might Carroll, AND Chelsea draw or get beat? Drogba might turn out to have swamp fever, then where will we be?
