After last night’s matches at Goodison and the Etihad brought the curtain down on the Gameweek, we roll out the draw for the Seventh Round of the Fantasy Football Scout Cup IX and Members Cup IV, as sponsored by Paddy Power, this evening:

In the former competition, some of the key clashes from the community include Shipstontrev vs Attila the Bum, Denial vs Woeisme, 1nozza v Triggerlips and manehi v Tractor Boys, who knocked out our last remaining previous winner, MCH,in Gameweek 33.

Woeisme heads into the final 16 having racked up 88 points in Gameweek 34, making him the highest scoring manager to progress, whilst Shipsontrev is the highest ranked manager left in the hat, sitting in 803rd spot in the overall Fantasy Premier League (FPL) standings.

A full list of last week’s results is here, and the draw for the Seventh Round, which kicks off this Saturday afternoon and lasts right through to Monday evening, when City host West Brom at the Etihad, can be found here.

In the FFS Members Cup IV, we’re now down to the last eight managers. Spencer – the highest ranked remaining manager in 623rd spot overall – takes on Summits gotta give, who is the rank outsider, with an overall position of 316,709. The other three match-ups are In Tommy We Trust v Shipstontrev, arastrick v Trigg and sandgrounder v Arthur Gomez.

You can click here to check out the Seventh Round draw, which gets underway this weekend, whilst the full list of Sixth Round results can be found here.

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

    I am 4th in my cash ML, but just 42 points loss to the leader. Very close gaps between all 4 of us.
    We all have Suarez ofc. But I am the only one with Aguero - at least for now.

    Who should I captain - Suarez or Aguero ?

    They may actually keep cleanie v Utd but want to get rid of 1 this week.
    Who to get !?
    Also have Smalling and Ward and Olsson (Nor). Olsson could go either and could bench Seamie.
    Had been avoiding City as I wanted 3 attacking City players but that may no longer be such a consideration
    Obviously Chelsea look like an option this week but not liking Pool away game coming up
    Arsenal perhaps?
    I'm thinking maybe buy a captain as they may step up to plate in the run in (Terry Kompany)

    I'm chasing hard in a few mini leagues

    What to do with Yaya?

    Really tempted to ditch him but with all the casuals that own him and another DGW around the corner it might be harder to work him in later....

    Very expensive to bench too 😕

    If I bench him I play AJ this weekend which isn't very appealing... could just bring in Ozil or Cazorla and be done with it, Arsenal's fixtures are fairly okay...

              I have Nasri so I'm waiting for now as Silva might not be fit yet, so there could be no gain by swapping and only 0.3 in saving,

    I can do Coleman to Kos this week and maybe Noone to Ramsey or Mata when I have news on United's strikers meaning I can cover Yaya.

      No concrete return date for Sturridge or Hazard is the problem. Plus you've now missed another City DGW - seems a strange time to do them. I'd say no.

        Can't help but feel Aguero is going to explode when I don't have him. Wish Sturridge hadn't got injured, hazard doesn't sound too far away, did mourinho say anything about him in his press conference today?

          Aguero may be worth it if you need to take the risk as far as mini-leagues/target rank go. Like you say, he is explosive. Not sure on Hazard news, not long got on here.

    Sergio Aguero. 22k+ NTI today and heading for his triple game week rise tonight: What's all that about?

    Is it because he's totally unfit?

    Is it because he was electric...before Christmas?

    Is it because he is cheap?

    Is it because his team are in sparkling form?

    Is it because he was 2nd (behind Suarez) in Minutes per Chance before his latest injury and is 24th after?

    Is it because his primary focus is the World Cup?

    Is it because his leg muscles are seemingly made of dry spaghetti?

    Is it because there's absolutely no chance of him lasting out 180 minutes in the DGW in two weeks?

    Or is it because his main ammunition suppliers currently have problems of their own?

    Don't be another lemming folks. It's all going to end in tears again.
