We’re down to the last 16 in the Scout Members Cup after last weekend’s results. Rodallega Bombs, who knocked out Evs in the previous round, progresses once again, while Stevey Trader was the top scoring manager for the round with 53 points – all the more impressive, given he took an eight point hit.

Elsewhere, former winner Fuzzy Dunlop is still in with a shout, as is site regular Eunuch Jelly, after a 45 point haul in Gameweek 30. The draw for the next round is being sorted out behind the scenes – we should be rolling that out tomorrow or Thursday:

    Hey guys, any advice for this team? Only managed slightly above the average score the past few weeks but still managed to stay within the top 2.5k.

    Begovic, Bunn
    McAuley, Davies, Harte, Onuoha, Demel
    Bale, Mata, Sissoko, Walcott, Michu
    RvP, Sturridge, Remy

        Frontline looks similar to most. Same problem as me in the respect that our defences are in a mess.

          Yep, defence is cheap and messy
          Can't suggest who to upgrade?

            Try shipping out Michu davies and McCauley. They have blanks coming up.

            Maybe Michu to Fellaini and then upgrade the defence. Of course you may have to wait till GW 33 to get Fellaini in.

            In that case i would probably do Onuha > Figuroa and Mcauley > Sagna. People here want to take a gamble on Jenkinson but since Wenger is in love with Sagna regardless of his performance i would say he is a better option.
            But wait till deadline ofc and wait for Wenger’s press update on Sagna injury.

              Or if you can afford Figueroa and Riether then you don't have to deal with Wengers rotation and they both have a DGW somewhere.

      It's not outrageous but I wouldn't do it. Not outrageous because it's a calculated risk that Suarez doesn't go nuts this week but does get a yellow--then it pays off. I'm not going to do it because I can get money another way and I think Suarez is capable of avoiding a yellow if things go well for 'Pool.

      I do rather like the cut of Berb's jib though . . .

          The way I see it, you don't need the funds for Fellaini now, so I would hold off. Suarez might make the decision for you before GW33. I don't think Berb is worth committing with so many things unknown. YOu ahvve the money for Michu to Caz this GW, why not just do that or save it?

    In that case i would probably do Onuha > Figuroa and Mcauley > Sagna. People here want to take a gamble on Jenkinson but since Wenger is in love with Sagna regardless of his performance i would say he is a better option.
    But wait till deadline ofc and wait for Wenger's press update on Sagna injury.
