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.

                  Hey, if Chelsea can win the title this year and next, it'll finally be as successful a team as Sunderland! Exciting times to be a Chelsea plastic.

                    The highest they've ever finished in the prem is 7th and they've been relegated twice since then. So I think you could safely conclude chelsea have done better

                        What I just said is fact. It would make much more sense to judge on the last 10 years or so as that is clearly more relevant than what happened 15+ years ago

                        It is a fact that that is a completely arbitrary distinction. But if it makes you feel better about your team more power to you. (ManU laughs at your last 10 years btw.)

    As above...and just on the subject of attitude.Some of the best moments for me in the prem this season involved Suarez and Gerrard in the" joi de vivre" shown by Liverpool during matches this season...Namely, when Suarez tried, on two occasions, to tee up both Sterling and then Flanagan for goals instead of taking the opportunity himself in back to back games...and then Gerrard giving up the pen for Sturridge's doomed hat trick attempt. How far away from that sort of team work are United...a long, long way behind I think...

        I should point out that I'm not a Liverpool supporter, but they are enjoying this season as a team more than anyone else, and I'd say they deserve to. The defense is doing no master classes, but they're performing amazingly on the attacking side and putting on great games for spectators.

        Ha! I used the same exact word to describe the humor. It certainly is juvenile. It sure is funny too! 🙂

        Am worried about Weds night CL match away before a Sat afternoon match as far as rotation goes. He seems to be worth the extra money if he is secure in starts.

          Is this for GW29? If Gabbi plays I'd have 9 for that week, 8 if he doesn't. I'm pretty much decided on saving the transfer for a double game weeker in GW31 and if he plays in 29 it's a bonus

              Unless Yaya, Zaba and Aguero fall by a combined 0.7 I will have to keep Cahill as my Chelsea defender. I guess I forgot to tell that I'd be doubling up on Chelsea defender for GWs 28 and 29, but I could do worse I guess.

        Have two FTs and have to get in some GW29 cover. Whether it will be Terry or Olsson, they will turn into Zabaleta for GW30/31 anyway.

        United should just experiment with the rest of the season. Go 3-5-2, there's no reliable right back so leave him out. Shove Evra left wing, he's produced more from LB than most who've had a go out there. Carrick & The Big Wig in the middle, Kagawa / Mata behind RVP and Rooney.
