The draw for the second round of the Fantasy Football Scout Cup III, sponsored by Paddy Power, has been made and the 128 fixtures can be viewed right here. As you’ll see, the draw has thrown out some interesting match-ups…

There are plenty of candidates for the glamour tie of the round, such as Anorak Vs. Dirty_Harry, jms Vs. gooner dave and Keith Vs. Voronin is gone… to name a few. In a big tie for the second round in a row is greghammer95 who has been drawn against hello 911 it’s quagmire….

Round one top-scorer beeduybe may feel he doesn’t need a repeat performance to get to the last 128, with his round two opponent DundalkKid ranked much lower than him.

I’ve decided to give myself a bit of a challenge this week, so there’s no four point head start this time round. Not only that, but I’ve gone one further and handed myself a top 1000 opponent in JohnSteed01.

As for my colleagues, top 4k Granville has a tough draw against top 3k wolves_simmo, and Pure Olivia also has a higher ranked opponent in Ty_Durden67.

Moving on to our former champions, and the tough draws keep coming. FFS Cup II winner Jonty faces 368th in the world And_der_roo, and FFS Cup I champ donnellyc is a huge underdog in his tie against ham5ter.

The two Fantasy Managers handed a second bite of the cup apple haven’t faired any better it seems. TorresMagic takes on mobbonkhouse who, for the first time this season, moved into the top 1000 and eclipsed our Aussie friend in the overall rankings. As for Roger C, for who a red arrow didn’t see him drop out of the top 1000, he faces bill badger, a Fantasy Manager on a good run and with two free transfers in hand.

All fixtures are to be played during Gameweek 9. As always, a free £25 bet courtesy of Paddy Power awaits the top-scoring Fantasy Manager of the second round. Good luck to everyone involved, and I’ll bring you the results on Tuesday.

      From the look of it can't really see what advantage W/C will give you. Just odd tweaking here and there later. 🙂

    Im having a hard time deciding which to play, Carrol (away to west ham) or Adam (away to birmingham.)

    Is the assult case going to affect Carrol? Are Newcastle playing 4-4-2 again? Actually thinking of getting in Ameobi for carrol to save cash. That is if im not gonna play him this week...

      CARroll's car being torched may inspire him to earn goal bonuses to buy new one. 🙂

          Hehe. Might just play Carrol. Birmingham seems a lot more solid at the back, compared to West Ham

      Hughton has backed Carroll to overcome his off-field issues and regain his form on the pitch.

    I can only get Fabs next week if I make my decision on Ashley Cole soon.

    Either way Im swapping Dempsey to Adam. So it boils down to

    Bosingwa and Malouda or VDV and A.Cole
