With the Gameweek 32 deadline just 24-hours away, there’s one more thing to consider (for 128 Fantasy Managers) when it comes making those agonising transfer decisions. The draw for the third round of the Fantasy Football Scout Cup IV has been made and can be viewed right here.
After his shock Quarter-Final exit in the Members’ edition, Gooner dave will be desperately looking put that behind him with a win against i campioni due. There’s almost 10,000 places between them in the overall standings, which should fill our reigning champ with confidence (not that he needs it).
We know there’ll be no cup double to end the season for Gooner dave, but nor will there be for anyone else – none of our Members’ Paddy Power Cup Semi-Finalists have progressed as far as the third round of the FFS Cup IV. Another Quarter-Finalist that made it however was ryangal1982, who will be expecting to be one step closer to repeating that feat as he squares up against the lowest-scoring winner from round two, Afc Chamelon.
The other former tournament winner still in the mix, Jonty, bizarrely faces an opponent on the exact same points as Gooner dave’s foe. Again there’s a 10,000 place gulf in this match-up, but unfortunately for Jonty, it’s bantamstu with that advantage.
Last week’s top-scorer, cm1mds, won’t feel he has to replicate his round two standard as (his opponent) yarkiebrown‘s six-figure ranking isn’t to be feared.
Having already “won” the title of “Last Scout Contributor Standing”, da Beeeez will be setting his sights a little further when he challenges milanista for a place in the last 64.
On the back of beating Breakballartist in the previous round, Locarno has been rewarded with a tie against the third-highest ranked manager in the competition and 90th in the world, Up_Top. It’s a New Zealand Vs. Australia showdown, with the Aussie going in as a huge favourite.
The second-highest of our three top 100 Fantasy Managers is 81st in the world Morts Macaroons. The recipient of this horror opponent is Tinkered To Death who, sitting just inside the top 100,000, can can consider himself mightily unlucky with his draw.
Finally, our numero uno in round three is maximo78. You’ll find him on page one of the Fantasy Premier League leader-board in 42nd place. Rotten luck for Ninja_Fit_Saints.
Other notable fixtures includes Soop against Antifreeze, dribbler versus Real Ale Madrid and daniel.mf taking on mregan84 to name just three.
All the best to the 128 going at it this weekend and, as always, I’ll bring you news of the results next week.
