As the fallout from last weekend’s Premier League action continues to rumble on courtesy of Wayne Rooney’s mouth, our Fantasy scores have been set in stone and we can look back at how the 256 Fantasy Managers fared in the second round of the Fantasy Football Scout Cup IV. The full set of results can be accessed right here, and what follows is a summary of highs (and lows) of the round…

We’ll start with the top-scorer of the week cm1mds, who notched an impressive tally of 79 and soundly beat Loves when carlo reads out team on a friday by 16 points in the process. That was easily the highest aggregate scoring tie of the round, involving the 1st and 15th top-scorers for the round, with the loser having the best score not good enough to progress.

The biggest win of the second round came when Cescy_11 thrashed daiHai 71 – 24, putting an almighty 47 point gulf between them.

As for the lowest-scoring match-ups in the round, the 26 – 26 draw between Afc Chameleon and Fatmag totalled the fewest points in a game, with 10,710th Afc Chameleon progressing at the expense of his 118,460th ranked opponent.

The poorest individual score went to Aggronaut, who amassed an abysmal 13 points giving opponent MartinB an easy passage into the third round despite his score being two points below the rounds average (45).

Other than the one mentioned above there were two other drawn games, with Morpheus and newman edging kiggs85 and Dan_797 respectively, by virtue of their superior overall ranks.

Moving on to the glamour tie of the round and, oh so predictably, it was Gooner dave who ran-out a 44-30 winner against Goose. The slightly more competitive undercard bout to that main event, saw Locarno eliminate Breakballartist 58 – 55.

Any hopes of a dream match-up between Jonty and JauntyJonty were dashed at the weekend, with JauntyJonty succumbing 45 – 34 to mathsgeek. The FFS Cup II champ marches on however, after creaming Milky 55 – 49.

Another potential fairytale coming to an abrupt end was qualifier #512 RonnayBarkay‘s 61 – 47 exit at the hands of jottonolan.

The Scout Contributor’s have been cut in half again, with da Beeeez now the last remaining Scout involved. He made light work of Foolsgold, seeing him off 58 – 39. Big Dunc on the other-hand was comfortably beaten 48 – 35 by Yanky.

Congratulations to the 128 Fantasy Managers advancing, and commiserations to those leaving the competition at this stage. The third round draw for the Fantasy Football Scout Cup IV will be announced in the next 48 hours.

          I've been defending him on twitter lately, he's often asked to do too much which causes him to fail at a lot. When he can control the game he is very very good.

            It's difficult for the centre of midfield to cope when you have 2 full backs bombing forward. Unless you have a great box to box midfielder, then you are going to find yourself under pressure. Carrick needs a Keane/Robson. Fletcher for all his qualities isn't quite world class.

              Part of the reason we play O'Shea against the tougher teams imo, he stays back allowing Carrick more freedom to do what he likes in the middle.

        He played well against Chelsea the other week, particularly in that first half. I think he gets a raw deal on here. With Park, Rafael, Hernandez in the side you need someone to put their foot on the ball.

    This Rooney thing really is a b!tch. He's playing so well, surely you can't take him out for just one match? It would mean losing Nani this week to get Lampard and having no Utd cover and play 4-5-1.

      But... with so many players having double game weeks, he needs to be consistently prolific to be worth keeping. Will he outscore players like van persie, lampard, and after gw33, tevez? United have some tough fixtures. Now he's playing 2 fewer games than some players, and 1 fewer than everyone

        i genuinely think it's just a case of a great goal making defending look worse that it was. the carrick pass was such a teaser it gave bosingwa a hope of getting there, he then realised he couldn't and was left in no man's land and giggs took advantage brilliantly.

          Hmm. Disagree 100%. There are different ways to handle the situation for him but he just runs one way, then the other and has no clue where the only player he's supposed to care about in that situation is.
