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.

            Now that would be a move I would avoid. You can't drop that guy, especially since he is well rested having sat out Champs League game and is going against an Arsenal team that got a pretty hefty workout yesterday eve. There's certainly got to be somebody else you would bench before him. Surely Ramsey, for example.

              I realise it goes against all rational thought. I just think this game is a bit different and that Ramsey has a better chance of points.

                I'd say in the long run, always go with your gut. I just picked up Yaya this week, so maybe that is infiltrating my thought process. I just think Arsenal, especially on this weekend given all the considerations, is the type of team that he could boss.

      I'm leaning towards captaining Suarez. Rarely does a guy get into this kind of form. Also, with Vertonghen out getting blood-spinning, head-banging, floor-shaking, body-breaking ankle treatments, Suarez could be going to town with a little extra pep in his step and coming home with extra shopping bags.

    Everyone in my ML has Suarez, can't see him getting more than 10. Lukaku is a differential so captaining him is tempting as if he hits a brace (I know he can do nothing too) then it's very lucrative and having Suarez means even if Lukaku balls up I've still got half their Suarez (c) points.

    Anyone offer any advice on below team

    Krul, Vorm (doubt)
    Coleman,Terry,Dawson, Vlaar (doubt), Rosenior (Not getting minutes anymore)
    Ozil,Ramsey,Hazard,Brady (not getting minutes), Januzaz (Not getting enough game time)
    Aguero, Suarez, Berinho (Not playing)

    The weakness is obvious, too many cheap fringe players, but whats the best transfer play? Get rid of Ozil to tidy up the team?

                I'm going to take a 4 point hit to get Lukaku in again. That to me is -4 as I had him 2 weeks ago and made a bad call swapping him out for Remy. That was a wasted transfer and it's costing me another FT to get him back.

      12 pts, but I was very fortunate at the start and got to my highest ranking ever (150 in gameweek 4). Then in gameweek 5 the whole thing collapsed on me. and I started taking hits.

      I think when you are on top, its easy not to take hits - so I don't know if its that those who inevitably win do so because they take no hits through excellent organization and planning, or they take no hits because they've been winning. I suppose both.

    Which one should I go in for, why and should it be done ASAP or wait until they have the security of playing 90 mins week in week out.

      I think it's too early to take your decisions based on your ML leader team.
      Just take the players that you think will score most. Your ML leader will do a mistake at some point and you'll make up the difference..

            he was my rival 2 years ago, tried this copying tactic all the way through

            Sadly for him I made sure i used jan wc after him and, made my team massively different (higher tv helped) and got ahead

            After that he didn't know what to do. Was totally clueless about who to put in to try and close up.

    How many FPL matches have you guys been involved in?
    Example, if you've played it for 6 seasons then you would have played the game for 228 Gameweeks and then add on another 15 which equals 243.
    I have played it for 2 seasons now and 15 GWs.
    That's means I have played 91 GWs.

    Hi all, my team looks messy this week, all advice appreciated 🙂

    McGregor
    Coleman, Terry, Clichy (!)
    Ramsey, Yaya, Bannan, Ravel
    Suarez (C), Remy, Aguero

    Bench: Harper, Gerrard (!), Clyne (!), Koscielny

    (!) = Flagged

    A) Remy and Clichy to Rooney and Chester (-4)
    B) Gerrard to Oscar
    C) Something else?

      Gerrard to Oscar, and Clichy to Jagielka.......and don't nobody give me none of that it's risky to have two Everton defenders. Jagielka will score a goal soon.
