FFS Cup

Fantasy Football Scout Cup VIII – Sixth Round Draw

The Fifth Round results in the Fantasy Football Scout Cup VIII, sponsored by Paddy Power, are rolled out this evening. We also cast an eye over the upcoming head-to-heads – these will occur in Gameweek 19, as the competition takes a quick breather during Gameweek 18:

With all our previous winners eliminated there will be a new name on the cup and among those vying for that accolade, along with the winner’s prize of £100 worth of free bets and a £100 Amazon Voucher, will be the Fifth Round’s highest scorer Cunny Funts. His score of 95 was just enough to edge out CanTheyScore, who heartbreakingly leaves the competition with a score of 90. Cunny Funts will be up against Gaillimh73, who beat Goaldigger.

Meanwhile Applebonkers continues to fly the flag for the Fantasy Football Scout moderators and contributors. His score of 72 was enough to defeat BJ’s tally of 60. A tie against Noel B, who heads into Gameweek 18 with an overall rank of 7,361th, awaits our intrepid moderator.

The highest ranked remaining manager is pifffc, who goes into Gameweek 18 placed 7,243rd overall.

Other site regulars into the Sixth Round include HillbillyPete, who had defeated current champion Wild Rover along the way. He is up against Ericantona_707 after seeing off one of our regular hot topic posters The Sarjeant in the Fifth Round.

Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad also marches into the Sixth Round draw. He successfully negotiated his way past TOMDN and will now face 11 Men In Flight.

The lowest scoring team to advance into the Sixth Round is Tony Hibberts Love Child, whose score of 66 was just enough to move past Nepalock and his total of 65.

Good luck to the final 32 as they brace themselves for battle in the Sixth Round. Please be aware that the cup takes another break during Gameweek 20 but will be back for the Seventh Round in Gameweek 21.

      Repost.

      Hello lads!

      I have a bit of a dilemma. I really want to bring in an Arsenal defender and ditch McAuley.
      I also would love a punt on Kolarov for next week and be looking at upgrading Faye in order to bring him in.

      Here is my team with respective sell values:

      Howard (5.8) Lewis (4.0)

      Coleman (6.1) McAuley (5.4) Burner (4.1) Ward (4.0) Faye (3.8)

      Walcott (9.1) Hazard (9.8) Silva (9.2) Ramsey (6.8) Mutch (4.4)

      Rooney (11.2) Suarez (12.0) Lukaku (8.4)

      Have 1 FT and 1.4 in the bank.

      If I get Koscielny tomorrow (as he will drop to 5.3) I will have the exact amount to upgrade Faye to Kolarov next GW however Koscielny might not start.

      What is going to bring more points over next 2 GWs in your opinion?

      A) Koscielny GW 18&19 + Kolarov GW19 & other defender GW18
      or
      B) Mertesacker GW 18&19 + other defender GW18&19

      Sorry if it sounds a tad confusing. Leaning towards B at present.

      Kolarov will ultimately fail because he is not first choice and ManC defense is not great he is more likely gonna give 1 pt or 0 pts than say 15.

      If you want an attacking defender Baines is the one to get, just look at the scores he was getting before his injury and everton very strong right now in defense and attack.

      Defenders that offer goal threat are cheap considering you'd have to pay 7-10 mil for a mid witht he decent chance of cleansheet thrown in as well.

    Merry Christmas Lads.
    I am lost on what to do this GW and thought I better ask before festive celebrations begin!

    Mignolet - Lewis
    Terry - Coleman - Chico - Dawson - McAuley
    Ozil - Ramsey - Sessegnon - R Morrison - Whittingham
    Suarez - Rooney - Lukaku

    2 FT - 0.8 Bank.

    Mignolet + Sessegnon ---> Szczesny + Cabaye was my initial plan.

    Or should I maybe sort out my defence first and downgrade then upgrade the Midfield next GW?

      Okay people I'm thinking of bringing in Coleman for Clyne. This will give me a very strong 12 so that when Ozil/Ramsey/ Hazard have a rest then I have a strong auto-sub. Also with Coleman rising in price (probably .3 this week) he will soon be too expensive. Also Clyne doesn't look like he'll play on boxing day.

      Coleman, Jagielka, Mert, Terry
