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.

          I would guess at Vidic as he is still the best defender at the club. Smalling will take some game time from Raf, depends on who Moyes want to see defend worse! Sure there will be Utd fans around who can give a better opinion

    Lets be realistic.

    United are not gonna play in the champions league next season.

    Who do you think they could realistically attract to improve their squad?

    They need AT THE VERY LEAST 1 RB , 1 CB , 1 LB , 2 CM , 1 WINGER

    Can they get any of the below mentioned and more importantly, would it improve United?

    Caulker
    Tiote
    Lallana
    Wanyama

      A clear out is needed. Been getting away with taking poor players through, and into the squad for a few years because of the solid shell to the side. Now that has well and truely shattered, these players are being found out. Likes of Smalling and Cleverly have been blooded to plug gaps in the good sides of the past, now being asked to play a big part shows them as they are.

      The players on that list would all probably improve Utd ATM. Tiote isn't much of a player IMO, but at least he gets about. Utd midfield has deteriorated over the last few years, everyone has witnessed it except anyone with a connection to Utds transfer policy!

        You got it spot on.

        United have far too many "Squad Players" and not enough first teamers.

        But i Think United can do far worse than getting Lallana (25yrs) & Caulker(21-22 yrs) for a combined total of note more than 30m.

        Both of them are easily United class imo.

      "Shut your noise, Sigfried" was particularly amusing... 😀

      You have quite a way with words, my friend...

      You should present the news, I might actually watch it then... but I reckon you'd struggle to wake up for the 6pm broadcast... 😉

      If you perform this formula you will win GW 29 for sure. Give it a go

    Is Mata worth to keep in dgw? United is shite and Mata doesnt deliver enough for his price tag.

    I'm considering something like Mata&Silva -> Yaya&Gerrard for dgw.

      It depends. Sure he's not the best option but I'll be using my trades to take out the likes of kos, lallana, eriksen and ade so I'll be sticking with him

      Absolutely, will give it a listen...

        Cool. I have a very wide ranging taste in music. I'm sure we've shared some Knopfler links in the past

      B, despite no forthcoming doubles I feel Hazard is a season keeper and would be madness to sell.

        Would be very short term though (possibly just for GW31) as I plan to WC shortly after and may well bring Hazard back (I only lose about 0.3m on him).

        GW31 alone, you still prefer B? I'm edging towards A at the moment...

          For one Gameweek only then A, but what price did you get Hazard at? I got him at 9 so cost me arm and leg to get him back in.

          Also I was thinking of wildcarding for GW31, curious as to why you are planning on doing so after?

    Is he a better option than Sterling?

    Looking to get one this week, screw gw29. I think there is a large possibility Allen will come in to try shore things up a bit? Berbilly? Your my Liverpool go to man!

    I am benching Silva for coming GW. But who to get in his place for the next GW? Mata perhaps? Cant have 9M sitting on bench for 2 GWs in a row.

    (Already getting Aguero in GW30)

    My attackers are:
    Haz - Silva - Lalla - Snoddy - Noone
    SaS - Tekkers

    Yes i know, no strikers for me in GW29.
