Today, we bring you the draw for the First Round of the Fantasy Football Scout Cup X, as sponsored by Paddy Power, after the qualifying rounds for the competition took place over Gameweek 13 at the weekend.

First of all, entrants with a score of 44 points or more have earned a spot in the First Round of the Fantasy Football Scout Cup X. If you scored 44 points, it was then down to overall rank to decide whether you progressed. As usual, then, the standard was very high – just ask Mark – he’s been knocked out in qualifying with 41 points.

While Mark fell at the first hurdle, Granville’s lineup progressed and he’ll face juramentardo in the opening round, which takes place this weekend. Mark does, however, live on through his combination ScoutCast team with Granville – that lineup made it through with an impressive 62 points and will face off against Clueless XI in this round – a suitable opponent.

Our reigning champion, Gribude is, of course, one of the former winners who earns a bye to the first round and he’ll face deporhostia in the opening round as he bids to become our first to successfully defend their crown. Others taking on former cup champions include confundido who takes on some chap called Jonty, while AmberGamer who faces ex-champ donnellyC.

There are no less than 14 top 100 managers in draw, including the current FPL world number one rayvas – definitely a name to avoid should he make it past pkilleen in this first round.

Other eye-catching encounters are Laurel Hill‘s tough tie against Fantasy Football Scout moderators and contributors league leader Tinkerman, who is currently 270th overall, our moderator Greenwindmill’s battle against Canary Wharf, and Cobblersnz’s match up with our team news man Demi.

There are also some notable match ups between well known community members with Sporting facing Davysteen and  4Vets against 1966 was a great year…

Good luck to those involved in the weekend’s action but for those that missed out this time, there is some good news as we  aim to run another Cup competition from March next year.

    Yes... Gibbs not starting. Closer to getting those Hutton 8 points on bench.

      Wenger seems to like bringing on a replacement left back after around 75

        • 15 Years

    Jovetic starting - bad for Kun?

    1. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Yes. He takes a lot of his space whenever I watch and is rubbish at passing.

    Chadli, thank you for the points but I think you're time is now up, do not pass go, do not collect £200, do not let the door hit you on the backside on the way out

      he would have 10 min i think

      1. Salfpilgrimlfc
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Was lucky with him last game not coming on and chambers off the bench but Spurs had an injury so we're forced into a change that game

  18. The Light Knight

    Baines Mirallas Lukaku(c)
    Eggs, basket, etc

    Yesterday's team news was way more dramatic. Down with this sort of thing.

    1. SPorting
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Careful now.

      1. RoysCallerAnne
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        😀

  20. Heydudes13
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    YES! Kane is the lone striker no silly role in behind Soldado tonight. 😎

    1. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      😀

    2. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      And on pens to boot with this set up.

      1. Guidinho
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Would he be on pens over Erkisen? Would be surprised considering hie youth and lack of seniority but not sure if he took any in the EL.

    3. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      I want to take that punt, but unless Rooney is out for a bit I can't justify it, not with Austin playing Burnley at home

      1. Walsh
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Don't be a sheep JK! Kane is a cool guy.

        1. JK - Cønt ⭐
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          I want him, but it would be a silly transfer

  21. KeepCalm
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    FFS Chadli...what a fail of a transfer this has been

    1. Kurtinho
      • 11 Years

      You're not alone there mate 😛

      Did you flag any of their posts? If everyone did that and they got temporary bans maybe they'd stop doing it.

      Unless Aguero misses out

      Hope for you yet

      Not KO'd yet, still time....

  27. Heydudes13
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    No Giroud is good for Sanchez also.

    1. Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      I think the opposite

    2. Guidinho
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Isn't Sanchez on the bench according to the line up posted above

  28. Obi Wan Elokobi
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    What did Chadli actually do wrong other than get Injured? He was there best player with Eriksen before the injury.

    1. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      They won 3 on the spin without him 🙁

    2. Not Irish
      • 12 Years

      He's toss.

    3. d1sable
      • Has Moderation Rights
      11 years, 4 months ago

      He scored goals yes but he was terrible in every game. Slow, lazy and unable to pass.
