We roll out the draw for the Second of the Fantasy Football Scout Cup IX and Members Cup IV, as sponsored by Paddy Power, after the First Round took place over Gameweek 28. Please not that, as explained in this initial article, these ties won’t take place until Gameweek 30 due to the numerous blanks in the fixture schedule this weekend:

In the Fantasy Football Scout IX, reigning champion Tdubb05 is through to the next round and will face Denis Denis when the action resumes. Looking at some of the other former champions, MCH takes on BroTown_Tindersticks, Jonty is up against coletrickle88, donnellyc squares up to Carlton Palmer and Gooner Dave takes on Fitzy.

The tie of the round sees two of the top 500 FPL managers go head-to-head.Skeptical, currently sitting in 136th spot in the overall standings, take on Lardy, who isn’t far behind in 470th spot.

You can click here to check out the second round draw, which gets underway next weekend, whilst the full list of first round results can be found here.

In the Members Cup IV, reigning champion Acqufresca fell at the first hurdle. He was knocked out by Caladan Brood, who now faces Quite Big Dunc next time around, whilst another former winner, Fuzzy Dunlop, takes on Droginexile. The top-ranked manager is 2nd Man – currently sitting in 380th overall, he’s up against Fitzy (39,504) for a place in the next round.

As always, good luck to all those still in with a shout of the silverware.

      Mirallas has played a part in all of everton's fixtures apart from last Saturday being the only exception.

    Morning. Been trying to wrap my head around GW31. With a little planning ahead I can end up with about this without hits, playing 10 this week:

    Adrian*
    Azp Chester* MOlsson
    Mata* Hazard Yaya* Sterling*
    Sturridge* Suarez* Aguero*

    8 DGWers, 6 attackers. Seems... okay-ish? Any major lackings here? An Everton defender would be nice, but I can always get that after the double by downgrading Mata to AJ. Hard to squeeze in as it stands.

      I can do AJ & Baines/Coleman instead of Yaya & Chester, I think maybe that would be better for just GW31 but Baines is tough to carry around, Chester isn't.

          I'm seldom at 0.0M in the bank though, but I get your point. Problem with Baines and Coleman is that it's "easy to pick the wrong one" for the double... so random, you'd want attacking returns at that price.

            Yeah. With AJ, will you be getting both Everton full backs? And with Yaya, you'll get Chester and one of them?

              No, with AJ I'll be getting just one. So I have to "pick the right one", which is a risk in itself because I'm relying on attacking returns. If that makes any sense... with Chester it's just the potential for one CS and some baps during the double, easy.

    Mannone*
    Baines* | Coleman* | Demel*
    Gerrard* | Januzaj* | Hazard
    Suarez* | Aguero* | Sturridge*

    So 9 DGW's with Hazard playing as well, last spot between Ivanovic or Lallana.

    2 questions:
    Ivanovic at Home vs Arsenal
    or
    Lallane Away vs Tottenham

    Any better pick at sub 5.0m than Januzaj?

    Also I made a post about Captain Picks for this GW if anyone is struggling to pick or is interested:

      All looks good, the only thing I worry with is Collins with Reid waiting in the wings. Only takes 1 poor performance and he could be out of the team, Demel's the safe pick for me.

      Personally don't think Mata is worth the money, could downgrade to Lallana and upgrade Distin to Baines maybe? Could always do that after the DGW tho.

      Unless you're fielding 11 DGW players, then you'll always feel you could have one more. But if you're going to be light on DGWers, defence is the best place to be light. So overall it's not too bad. And you'll probably be captaining Suarez.

        I see most people here having a very short term view when considering DGW players. Its not just about fielding the most DGW players. Many are missing that they will need to transfer out many of them and probably for hits (since most already used their WC) after that since they have terrible fixtures or play for a terrible team or both. The best example is people having rvp,mata and evra. Thats almost 1/3 of ur budget for 3 underperforming players playing for a terrible team (performance wise) when you can fied another 3 players for half the value maybe not having DGW and get much more points.

    I have 8.5 to spend on a Mirallas replacement, any suggestions? I still have wildcard which I will likely use GW31 so short-term punt is ok, already have Hazard Mata and Lallana.

    Am I mad to be considering Schurrle? 😯 Suggestions welcome, thanks.

      The problem with Schurrle is gametime. The last time he started, GW15, he scored twice. The next game he got a 9 minute cameo and has been getting the odd cameo ever since. Scoring goals for Mourinho doesn't guarantee gametime, far from it.

        I wish I'd had the presence of mind to get Sterling and not Gerrard a few weeks back. Now I'm forced to look at bargain buys for the 4th and 5th spots, and Januzaj doesn't look too bad a pick (even for a hit). Moyes can't possibly persist with Valencia and Young on the flanks.

    Is getting in a MUFC defender in worth it ?

    I'm considering Evra or Evans but looking at their next five fixtures they have City and 'Pool both of which are more than capable of scoring. Further to that the Red Devils have the exactly been water tight at the back. More like the titanic

    Can someone also convince me about Mata ?

    Long term plan will be a team built around Everton & Chelsea defence, Man City & Liverpool attack.
    What would you add to that? A sprinkle of West Ham for the DGW? Lallana? Hazard?

    I am planning for gw 31 and I am unsure whether it is best to double up on Everton defence or spread the risk by including a City defender. The options are:

    A. Coleman, Distin
    B. Coleman, Kolarov
    C. Kompany, Distin

    City's fixtures in GW 31: FULHAM, man utd. Followed by arsenal in GW 32.
    Everton's fixtures in GW 31: SWANSEA, newcastle. Followed by fulham in GW 32.

    I am tempted by option A since I really like Everton fixtures. But City's match home vs. Fulham can be huge. Imagine Kolarov going crazy in that match. C is a safe option since it spreads the risk and includes two nailed-on players. What do you think is the best option and why?

    Thankful for all replies on this one! 🙂

            I was just about to ask you, if you're planning to strike a few hits or just play 8 and have an extra FT for 30. I'd probably keep him mate.

              Save I think came ptain Hazard send it on with 8 men...

              Its not ideal but the best option this week are misfiring out of form United strikers with a poorer double and would effect how I go on the dgw.

              Had a look hard call when to use it.

              Looking at the next few weeks the sheer volumes of blanks and doubles has maybe taken the advantage out of wcing in gw31 but at the same time I think people will go big on the hits.
