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.

      People will say WC, as some still have them. I think if you had 8 in 29 and 7 DGWers with blanks, you could use 3 FTers between 30 and 31 to make 10 maximum with no hits if you managed to carry one over. I can do 8 and 8 (see above).

          True. But Richardson played most of the season at left back, now converted to left wing and giving attacking returns. Getting Livermore now with a blank in GW29 isn't a great plan but getting him after that looks a good one.

    So is it reasonable to say that RVP is irritated by Rooney getting in his way?

    I may be wrong but I get more and more of a feeling there may be a big split in camp regarding Rooney. You can only demand to be paid so much and to be played where you want to for a certain time before others start resenting you... Hmmm.

      There's a reason Fergie wanted him gone. Rooney and RVP isn't working, seems like they don't like each other, rarely see them pass to each other as much as they used to.

        See my theory is Kagawa was his replacement. I have no idea what happened after that, perhaps a behind the scenes transfer of Rooney fell through but something shifted. Kagawa doesn't get to fill the role he was meant to, Mata doesn't get to play his preferred position, RVP feels Rooney is taking his space and then they go and pay him 300k a week. Twice in the last 4 or so years he's threatened to leave United for one of their rivals for more money. The guy is absolutes toxic in my opinion.

          Kagawa signed before RVP, but once RVP became available Fergie jumped at the chance to sign him for one last title, leaving us with Rooney behind RVP rather than Kagawa behind Rooney. Now we'll have Mata behind Rooney and RVP & Kagawa gone.

                    Seems we've been shedding a few youngsters too? Adnan is a great prospect though and there are certainly a few more that could be very strong.

                      Yeah, Wootton, Tunnicliffe & Cole have gone.

                      Lingard should get some gametime before the end of the season. Zaha & Powell will be back next season, Varela too(hopefully, can't stand Smalling at right-back).

                      There's some hype around a few in the academy as well, Janko, Rothwell, the Keane brothers & Lawrence.

          agreed. I can't see how their board is convince that
          a) they need to not take Roman's millions
          and
          b) they need to offer this player MORE money to stay

          The opportunity cost of the new contract is staggering. They could have had 2 great strikers.
          Seems that Utd must suspect that they'll be shedding a lot of salary in the offseason (vidic, rvp, etc)

      I don't understand why we have three no. 10s in Rooney, Mata and Kagawa.

      I know Rooney can play striker but when we have RVP and play a 4231, he can pretty much only play behind the striker..

      I don't think we should have signed Mata, or at least not give Rooney a massive contract...

        But they've repeatedly caved to his demands. Sure after being played even more CM last season he was going to leave until Moyes let him stay up top more, then he was going to leave anyway unless he got more money. Should have been sold years ago.

    GW31: Hazard/Mirallas & Lambert -> Gerrard/Sterling, Nolan & Aguero (4 points)

    Utd need to try something different, maybe start by dropping RVP. He seems to be doing nothing for the team, looks slow, unfit and a shadow of the player from last year.

    Maybe try a 433 with the full backs giving the width.

    Fletcher and Carrick holding.

    Fellaini freedom to roam, was a real handful for Everton when getting forward.

    then Januzaj and Mata playing off Rooney in the channels.

      Fella is better as a DM, couple him to Fletcher or Carrick.

      In an ideal world I'd swap to a tight 3CAM structure, Kagawa/Janu slightly to the left, Mata in the centre and Roo slightly to the right. RVP up top.

      The issue is they'll get ten minutes in to that match before Rooney calls his agent to organise a move to Chelsea since he's not phasing where he wants to.

      They were pedestrian, careless, lazy and without any fight or determination whatsoever.
      Thats the difference between this season and last.

            He has FK's and corners - second behind Hooper for Pens.

            One of the top performers over last 8/9 GW's - keep an eye on him - sweet differential. Everything for Norwich goes through him and he attacks the box a lot, even getting on the end of crosses.
            I think youre probably right to get Lallana in first but Villa away for Snoddy looks tempting.
