FFS Cup

FFS Paddy Power Cup X – Fourth Round Draw

Tonight we roll out the fourth round draw of the Fantasy Football Scout Cup X, as sponsored by Paddy Power, as well as  look back at the nail-biting conclusion to the Third Round ties.

With a score of 105 points, Made of Stone achieved the highest haul of the round. Given his losing opponent Paul Penney notched up an impressive 84 points, it shows just how tough this competition gets towards the final rounds. Made of Stone’s heroics, which included captaining David Silva and having John Terry and Pablo Zabaleta in his defence, earn him a round four tie against Nordeast.

The Fourth Round sees two top ten players looking to progress further in the competition. Randy Milla sits in seventh overall and faces 1,217th ranked Whalley DJ. Meanwhile, Doctor101 may be a credible 2,431st overall but has the tough task of taking on eighth placed Never Trust Lukaku.

Another name to watch out for in round four is Granville. Our Scoutcast co-host saw off Huddy in round three and will meet Fantasypete next.

Other notable community match ups in round four include Tommy J against Louis Van Goal and Dez against Gimli son of Gloin.

The full list of third round results can be found here, while the fourth round draw in full can be found here.

Good luck to those involved in the weekend’s action. In the meantime, though, if you’re looking for more information on the Scout Cup schedule and prizes available, click this link for a more thorough rundown.

    Wisdom or Yun first on bench?

    1. LewanGOALski
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I am going with Wisdom as he's at home

    2. Mak_Gold
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Wisdom.

      • NABIL - FPL otai

        Andre

      • HugoBlack

        Wisdom

    3. LewanGOALski
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      (C) out of:

      Sanchez
      Fabregas
      RVP
      Costa

      ??

      1. Skipdipper
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Cesc or RVP
        Costa vice
        Sanchez to be rested I reckon

        1. VougieDipond
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Look at Arsenal's mid's on the FPL transfer page and tell me how they can rest Sanchez? They have no players unless Arsene is willing to throw kids in. If he does that n QPR get something from the Emirates Arsene won't get out alive

          1. Lanley Staurel
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            I'm thinking this too. Well put!

            1. Ludo
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 5 months ago

              Could just play the same team with Podolski over Sanchez though - that's my worry.

      2. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        RvP

      3. CarelessGenius©
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Swaying towards RvP.....Newcy have been porous of late.

      4. Ludo
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        RVP - I think Newcastle could be in for an old fashioned style thrashing.

      5. Davros
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Rvp

    4. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Anything worth a hit to improve this team? 0 FT, 0 itb.

      Guzan Elliot
      Zaba JT Naylor Wisdom Hutton
      Sanchez Yaya Silva Fab Downing
      Costa Austin Sakho

        1. HugoBlack

          Forgot Siggy in that lineup. Cheers everyone.

      any thoughts?

      1. Toonzie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Would you do Baines to Zaba?

        1. Nickofoz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Nope. Can you afford Clyne -> Zaba?

          1. Toonzie
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            nope cant afford that, short of 0.3m

            1. Nickofoz
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 5 months ago

              Hmm. I'd consider Costa -> Giroud (C)

        2. VougieDipond
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Wouldn't swap a nailed on player for a huge rotation risk at this time. Vergini or O'Shea (4 yc) are good picks imo

        3. NABIL - FPL otai
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          I did that move. I think both camp (keep and ditch) are justified with their moves. Your call.

          1. Toonzie
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            thanks im vry tempted to do that move, baines have been doing nuts for me in recent games

            if mirallas is back for this boxing day im ditching for zaba

        4. Lanley Staurel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          I'm doing Yun to Zabs....I'm rich!!

      2. chocolove
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        What about GIven to Panti?
        Just in case there's Villa game that pospone

        1. Toonzie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          will consider that move thanks

      Lost at the bottom of previous page,

      With Man City back 4 questionable, is Guzan --> Hart using FT reasonable idea or is it quite silly?

      [Other GK is Myhill]

      1. Toonzie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        i will keep guzan, decent fixture for villa after the swansea game

      2. Black Knights
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        It's the safest way, if you have no other issues.

        1. The Count of Monte Cristo
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          I have lots of issues in Midfield with no City / Sterling in particular..

          Guzan | Myhill
          Cahill | Baines | Naylor | Wisdom | Dummett
          Hazard | Sanchez | Sigurdsson | Downing | Marney
          Costa | Bony | Austin

          1 FT and 2.1m ITB

      3. chocolove
        • 13 Years

        Wow, you willing to move Super Guzan? :shock:. I'd save Ft if I were you

      4. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Guzan owner here. Better keep imo, think of save Pts.

        I did Forster to hart and it felt pretty good.

      Morning lads, I've already done Duff --> Hutton this week, do I need to do anything else with this lot?

      2. Nickofoz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Nothing worth a hit but would definitely get rid of Mertesacker next week. For Mangala as you can't afford Zaba

        1. Ando
          • 10 Years

    11. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Which transfer?

      A) Cresswell to Terry

      1. Davros

        Yes, but nobody knows if it's bad enough for him to miss next game 🙂

      gilks jenkinson hutton marney

      abit worried about my team unhappy with heaton sanchez siggy and costa

      any thoughts? much appreciated and happy christmas

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        save since nothing's pressing. think about dropping Marney soon.

        1. KingsKnee
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          cheers, yeah had him all season as been lucky with injuries etc so never had to use him yet

          1. NABIL - FPL otai
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            had hmi from the start and for ages. dumped him for Yaya when I switched to 3-5-2. Boyd is a natural replacement if you tend to stick to 3-4-3.

            1. KingsKnee
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 5 months ago

              ah very nice, cheers again, im contemplating 352 for my January wildcard

    15. andres
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      moore to whom?

      Forster (mccarthy)
      Zab azpi naylor chambers (moore)
      Yaya alexis hazard (downing boyd)
      Bony austin costa
      1ft, 1.0.

      1. VougieDipond
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Vergini/O'Shea

      2. chocolove
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        I'll give you my precious watchlist for that price

        If doing it this week then Vergini
        Next week then Caulker or Hutton

        1. andres
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          the thing is moore or this other player probablt won't play unless big rotation kicks in, it is more a just in case transfer and thinking about next GWs..

          1. chocolove
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Then I recommend Yun. Albeit i prefer Caulker

      3. KingsKnee

            • 10 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            They were in 2nd division? 😯

            1. VougieDipond
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 5 months ago

              they were in the 3rd tier (League one, Division 2) in the late 90's

              1. Holmes
                • 10 Years

                • 12 Years

                But they did win the league in 67-68

      If you had to play one out of Kolo Toure, Hutton and Wisdom this week, who would it be?

      1. Davros
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Toure

      2. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        tough one. Kolo if he's nailed.

      3. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Hutton

      4. chocolove
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Always play Kolo until he's gone for ACON

      5. The Gambler.
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        I would go Hutton

      6. Ludo

        9 years, 5 months ago

        Kolo

    21. The Gambler.

      Foster
      Ivanovic, Azpil, Clichy
      Sanchez, Silva, Downing, Hazard
      Rooney, Benteke, Austin

      (*Krul, Hutton, Marney, Wisdom)

      Obvious transfer?

      A) Krul > Panti
      B) Haz > Fabs
      C) Rooney > Giroud
      D) Save

      1. Davros
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Why would you do haz to fab if haz is playing??

        1. The Gambler.
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

      Morning all! Just wanted to canvas some opinion on this situation...

      Forster Gilks
      Hutton Yun Chambers Wisdom Azpi
      Haz Sanchez Siggy Downing Yaya
      Costa Bony Sakho
      2 FT, £0.1 bank

      Which would you suggest?
      A Forster > Panti and save 1FT (gives cash for Sakho > Austin or upgrade Yun)
      B Forster + Sakho > Panti + Austin
      C Siggy + Yun > Boyd + Clichy
      D other suggestion

          Steven Taylor and Costa to Ivanovic and Giroud.

          Bulking up the bench for any rotation.

          All we need now is for Costa to get rested or blank and get booked.

        Anyone's guess, there's no set number - all depends on FA Cup results etc...

      2. The Gambler.
        • 14 Years

        None. Not until weather/fa cup affects the planned schedule

        • 11 Years

        In the FA Cup. E.g. Koeman has confirmed Mane will leave straight after Southampton's tie
