The results for third round of the Fantasy Football Scout Cup, sponsored by Paddy Power, are in and can be viewed right here. The competition has now reached the final 64, but our contenders are still only a third of the way to the title, for a brief round-up of who has reached the second third of the tournament, read on…
Getting there in style is this week’s top-scorer Ann_der_roo, who thrashed BirdyRob 76 – 52, and in doing so he earned a cool £25 bet courtesy of Paddy Power.
The highest-scoring tie of the round was the 74 – 56 win for hunting4beaver (who was Ann_der_roo’s closest challenger for the weekly prize) over jr.
Another high scorer this week was our very own Granville, who’s impressive run of form sees him storm into the fourth round with a thoroughly convincing 73 – 45 victory over dinglea.
On the flip side to all that bigs scoring was Landsman‘s 40 – 39 win against mogould, which was the lowest points total good enough to progress, the lowest scoring tie of the round and the joint-narrowest points victory.
Also scraping through to the fourth round by a single point was Chris81 (49 – 48 Discogod), mellicott_uk (51 – 50 JoseRealM) and andy85wsm (53 – 52 Milhouse).
Unable to determine a points victor were Jimmers and DaFoe22, who both scored 52. It was DaFoe22’s vastly superior overall ranking which saw him safely through.
The biggest beating of the round was Mighty‘s 73 – 44 annihilation of JohnSteed01. Karma perhaps for eliminating yours truly, and for denying me this weeks top score? Yes, yes it was.
Our last-remaining former champ donnellyc is still in the mix and looking to add to his silverware, after he saw off kings of kafiristan 52 – 34.
Congratulations to our winners, and commiserations to our losers this week. The fourth round fixtures will be made and published in the next couple of days.
