Just a final reminder that entry for the Fantasy Football Scout Cup X is set to close at 9am tomorrow morning. Once that deadline has passed, we’ll process the results and will then announce the qualifiers and First Round draw on Wednesday afternoon – while we’ve yet to analyse the draw, we can tell you that Mark and Granville’s ScoutCast team earned 62 points last weekend and look like going through, so get your teams in for the chance to take them on.

To enter, simply fill out the entry form here. You will be asked to verify your FPL team ID – note that, if you fail to confirm your ID, you will not be entered. You will be sent a confirmation email to verify your entry. You can also check that you are entered via this list.

As mentioned previously, the First Round is set to take place over Gameweek 15, i.e. this coming weekend. If you’re looking for more information on the cup schedule and prizes available, click this link for a more thorough rundown.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

          Mangala suspension and Kompany injury. They haven't been amazing defensively for the price you pay. And let me remind you that this is Clichy's first goal for City.

    My WC team, thinking of Berahino because of some amazing fixtures. Any thing you would change?

    Foster - Pantilimon
    Baines - Naylor - Tomkins - Hutton - Yun
    Haz - Sanchez - Fabs - Siggy - Jedinak
    Aguero - Bony - Austin/Berahino

      I'd consider Rooney over Berahino due to form
      Obviously you'd have to release funds, but maybe from a Sanchez downgrade. The new donation doesn't bode well for him

                    no I mean if Mirallas being back on the field seems to continue to hurt Baines (and he turns almost into a regular defender who has FKs and pens), then I may sell Baines..those funds could help me upgrade Moore and turn Downing into Siggy

    Already made one transfer ADM > Downing so Boyd > Jedinak for a -4 this GW or -4 for tomorrow night? (upgrading Sakho > Costa as other).

    Only 3 players have averaged more than 2 shots on target per 90m. Anyone care to venture a guess at who? (one of them is almost exactly 2)
