We bring you the draws for the First Round of the Fantasy Football Scout Cup IX and FFS Members Cup IV, as sponsored by Paddy Power, after the qualifying rounds for both competitions took place over Gameweek 27:

First of all, entrants with a score of 56 points or more have earned a spot in the First Round of the Fantasy Football Scout Cup IX. If you scored 55 points, it was then down to overall rank to decide whether you progressed.

Our defending champion, Tdubb05, gets his title defence underway against stocherilac this weekend. Looking at some of the other previous winners, Jonty plays djt, MCH is up against Jambo 17, Donnellyc has cflanesra, Wild Rover goes head-to-head with Chobber Slops FC, whilst Gooner Dave has been drawn against JW.

Some of the plum ties amongst the community include Chu Young Ping Pong v Acquafresca, Bubbles against Yes the Sess! and Accounting on Chris v Attila the Bum.

Four of the current top 100 Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers are in the hat for this weekend’s matches. Gambiteer, Justoutsidethemoney and Forbes are amongst those high-fliers as is world number two Tom Fenley, whose opponent, Alistair, currently sits around the 23,000-mark.

Entrants with a score of 58 points or more will have made their way into the First Round of the Fantasy Football Scout Members Cup IV. If you scored 57 points, it was then down to overall rank to decide whether you progressed.

Defending champion Acquafresca is up against Caladan Brood, whilst another former winner, Fuzzy Dunlop, goes head-to-head with The EJJ in Gameweek 28.

Amongst the notable community match ups, contributors Big Dunc and In Tommy We Trust face up to EpicFail and Chu Young Ping Pong respectively, whilst Dino’s clash with Bootsy and Thomass67 against Absinthe also catch the eye.

Once again, Tom Fenley is the manager to avoid in this cup. This time, he’s up against tmidrew who, with a rank inside the top 4,000, will fancy his chances of causing an upset. You can click here to view the First Round Draw.

    Seems strange that the qualifying score is higher for the Members Cup than the Open Cup? Thought the latter would have had way more entrants.

            I'm not sure actually, I agree it seems to be draining. I fear Moyes has little sense of priority so it would just serve as a distraction.

      That's what happens when you support the team that has been top of the league and best in the country for your whole life. You're not used to the losing and scrapping for points that pretty much every other team has done at some point. United have put everything on a plate for their fans, now that has all changed.

        True enough, it's more I actively can't spend what little time off I have these days watching them, it's just a waste of time. I've watched them all season through the bad but priorities have to be taken now! Will still hope they somehow stop the rot.

            I agree completely, my point is much much more that I literally do not have any time right now to waste. Buried under working and any spare time I do get I need to use better. As I've said I've watched every (or at least the vast majority of them) United match this season, I just can't commit time that's going to be completely wasted though. Won't be cheering for anyone else, won't be chasing glory, I just can't spend that much time anymore. Not when they're not even arsed trying, that's all I want is for them to try.

        My point is Lewa won't be on stupid money. United should have gone for him..

        He's a better player and a lot cheaper

          He'd be a replacement for RVP, not Rooney. Lewa will be on stupid money too especially considering he's a free transfer.

            Only real reason he's going to Bayern as far as I'm concerned, pretty sure they've offered to at least triple his wages or something stupid like that.
