As promised, we’re squeezing in a second free-to-enter cup competition before end the season ends… The Fantasy Football Scout Cup IV.

This upcoming gameweek (GW29) will be the qualifying round, with the top scorers (minus point hits) progressing to the first round of 512 in GW30. Entry is now open, and will remain so up until a few days before the GW30 deadline (a reminder with be posted). To be clear, you can submit your entry for the competition after the GW29 deadline, but it will be your score from GW29 that will count for qualifying.

Here is all the info you need to know…

What is the Fantasy Football Scout Cup?

The Fantasy Football Scout Cup is our version of the Fantasy Premier League’s Fantasy Cup game. Entrants who qualify for the first round will be randomly drawn against each other and the winner of the tie is whoever has the highest score from that gameweek, minus points spent on transfers (like in the original game and in head-to-head scores). In the event of a tie, the Manager with the highest in the overall standing will progress.

Each gameweek the number of teams will halve, and when the competition reaches the latter stages, Mark and Granville will make live draws on the podcast as we reach our exciting conclusion.

How do I enter?

As with the Members Paddy Power Cup, entry for the competition is simple, just follow this link [ENTRY CLOSED] and fill out the form. A confirmation email will be sent shortly after you’ve submitted your details to acknowledge your entry has been received. Just like the FPL, multiple entries to the Cup are not permitted.

When does it start?

All entries go into the qualifying round, which uses GW29 scores. the deadline to enter will be announced in due course. The first round proper of the Fantasy Football Scout Cup will be Gameweek 30.

When will I find out if I’ve qualified?

Results from the qualifying round will be published a couple of days before the GW30 deadline.

When are the fixtures released?

The fixture list for each round will be published a day or two before each deadline.

Is there a prize?

Fantasy Football Scout is providing the following prizes:

  • Winner – £150 Amazon Voucher
  • Runner-up – £75 Amazon Voucher

The Winner will also gain passage to the Fantasy Football Scout Hall of Fame and seal qualification for all free Cup Competitions in forthcoming seasons.

    if you had to choose one:
    A) arteta?
    or
    B) saha?
    or
    C) both?

    either of these will be a 4 point hit. of course, having both of them would be an 8 point hit.

        if u look at fact he outscored carroll last year despite playing in a team where the manager got sacked and is similar age then maybe more

          Yeah from what i've seen of him he looks good. Celtic got gary Hooper in the summer for about 2.5 he also outscored carroll and from what i've seen of him hes some player.

          I hope you hold out for that kind of money, i hate seeing big clubs undervaluing a player because of the team they play for or the clubs financial situation.

    What's with all the Nasri love at the moment? The way I see it, he's great when he's playing the Cesc role, but when Cesc's back (next gw probably) the points start to dry up as he looses influence. I don't see Aresnal having a good weekend, all things considered, so I don't really get the mad scramble. Anyone care to discuss?

    Lampard really the best Chelski option to bring in for this w/e then. I know he's on pens. I'd like to get someone in after seeing Blackpools performance w/o Adam last week. Can afford Lamps, I just need a heads up that he's looking sharp (miss the Man Utd game last week).

      Looking sharper than he has for a long time,not sure thats saying much though.Chelsea players did look far more interested,wether it was just Man U inspired or perhaps they heard Butch is coming back after groveling apology from Roman.

    Any thoughts on who might get MOM in the New Zealand game? Could really do with it being McCullum...
