FFS Cup

Fantasy Football Scout Cup VIII – Fourth Round Draw

Heading into the Fourth Round of the Fantasy Football Scout Cup, as sponsored by Paddy Power, we’re searching for a new manager to lift the trophy after defending champion Wild Rover was beaten by Hillbillypete in last weekend’s head-to-head.

This means we’re down to the last 128 Fantasy managers, with Hillybillypete now set to face The Boot this time around. There are just two former champions left in the hat –  Goonderdave, who takes on Pryston North EndFC, and sleepingmaster, who is up against a top 10K-ranked opponent in Albany City.

Moderators Applebonkers and Spencer remain in with a shout of the silverware – they’ll face Noyb and HyperloopingCrazy respectively over Gameweek 16.

Looking at some of the site regulars still in the draw, the likes of EpicFAIL is up against Championblues. The Sarjeant looks a rank (poor pun alert) outsider in his match up with Eddy3161, who currently sits inside the top 5,000, the 3rdTurd (2,804 overall) is the favourite to see off g-doo (61,612) , while old-school poster RaspingDrive goes up against Inspector Gadget.

Three of the top 1,000 FPL managers are lying in wait in the next round. They are Tony Hibbert’s Love Child, who is up against Real Mayonnaise, giuliop11, who will square up to luke89carpenter, and Snella FC, who shall take on Andy Paps for a place in the Fifth Round next weekend.

As always, we highlight the top-scoring manager across the previous set of fixtures. Last week Bedknobs and Boonsticks and Woeisme both registered a round-high tally of 85 points – this time around, Goaldigger and Ajax stand in the way of the in-form duo’s respective progress.

If you’re one for nostalgia and are keen to see the Round 3 results, you can click here for the full lowdown. Otherwise, click here for the Fourth Round 4 details.

Once again, good luck to those still in with a shout.

        I've always preferred Silva ahead of Yaya but this season has been different. Also, leader of my ML has Yaya, Silva could be a nice differential. The fact he will play by far the most of the three is a major argument for Yaya though

    Hi, some advice would be most welcome. I have two free transfers, no extra cash in the bank and a modest hill to climb in league rankings. My current lot is:

    Migs,

    Coleman, Debuchy, Dawson

    Hazard, Ramsey, Nasri, Barkley,

    Suarez, Lukaku(C), Aguero(VC)

    Lewis, Coutinho, Turner, Ward

    I think the midfield is where I can make gains. Question is who?!..Nasri and Coutinho have been meh, although they show flashes of promise. Ozil, Michu, Silva, Walcott, maybe an outside shot on Schurrle who I quite like...very open ended question I know!?

    Thanks!

      Wow...I envy his team. No mistakes in 15 weeks. That kind of consistency may just win him the whole thing.

        The midfield could suffer this week though with all away from home with tough matches. Could be the first red arrow.

    just noticed ML leader has taken -8 hit this week...

    i was 100 poinst behind not so long ago and this brings him just 9 points ahead of me.

    I was going to take a hit myself but am now wondering whether I should just sit tight and sweat him out....

    Cheers for the help earlier lads, the rotation with Clybe isn't the best, but Chester is just so cheap at 3.8 he allows me to have

    Ozil, Silva, Ramsey, Hazard (JWP)

    Suarez, Aguero, Lukaku

    and still have change left 😎

    It'd be rude not to

      Looks awesome.

      Id be concerned by the fact you have 4 of your 7 playing in one game against each other but long term this is the mamma's titties

      Pray for a high scoring game at the Etihad!!

        sometimes its good to see the whole balance of the squad. at the moment i have gerrard and nasri.

        obviously gerrard needs to go this week but im deciding between oscar and hazard

          Ok i get your point, my bad.
          Well i would like silva in my team but worried about his minutes this week along with oscar.
          So i think the hazard & nasri combo could work really well.

    Wow my cup opponent doesn't have Ramsey!

    No Rooney or lukaku either... I sense a points hit for him maybe that might just make me the favourite!

    That awkward moment when you're 0.1 short of Gerrard -> Silva. Already done 2 other transfers this week.

    What do you reckon then? Oscar? His 5 ppg hardly inspires me though. Either that or it's JWP, ha!
