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.

    Cheers for the replies earlier...

    Mangala the best City defensive option you reckon given i have a £6m budget? Like Skrtel, he also has 4 YCs though and the way he plays i can't see him lasting. Really tough to nail down someone who is going to start the next 3 games. Could Kolo be the answer?

    1. Nabs Kebabs
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Well you know that i like Mangala. Come to think of it though, i wouldn't be bringing in a player with 4yc at a time like this.

      Not really keen on Kolo but he may be the best option with those fixtures.

      1. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        I know. It's not ideal 🙁

        Only 2 games they have to get through though so could be worth the risk. Skrtel has Burnley away and Swansea at home. Mangala has West Brom away and Burnley at home.

        Kolo just seems so dull but for the price i suppose you can't really argue

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

      what about Clichy? Just had a week off so I'd assume he's pretty nailed for the next couple games. Think only Kompany is truly nailed (when healthy.)

      1. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        True. He's definitely an option as well

    3. Nabs Kebabs
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Debuchy?

      1. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
        • 14 Years

        Can't see a clean sheet in any of the next 3 there. Charlie to score on Friday 😉

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

          I reckon he will and all. Worth a hit to ditch Chambers so do you think?

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

            no way for a hit

  3. Nabs Kebabs
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    how does this look gents?

    Forster
    Azpilicueta, Clyne, Naylor
    Sanchez, Hazard(vc), Silva, Eriksen
    Rooney, Bony(c), Austin

    McCarthy, Downing, Hutton, Janmaat 0.5m

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

      Good. lots of talk about Haz and or Sanchez being rested, but so hard to tell and not worth a transfer. That is what the bench is for.

      1. Nabs Kebabs
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        yeah, hence (c) on Bony. Downing should be sufficient cover anyway.

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

          good to go

  4. Mane
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    RVP, Bony, Silva or Costa, Bony, Di Maria
    Already have costa and RVP, 2 FT

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

      Costa Bony DiMaria with ADM being the differential to me.

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

      Why list bony twice?

      And if you have Costa and RVP already, is it not just "Silva or Di Maria" ?

      Silva probably but just

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

        Because I definitely want Bony in the team this week. I guess its Silva/Rvp or Costa/Silva with Bony also coming in.

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

          Silva/Rvp or Costa/Di maria i meant

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

            Costa Silva and spare cash?

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

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      • 11 Years

    Damn Bottomed out

    Just seen the sticky on chambers. WOrth ditching for a hit this week?

    1. Jay_
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Whats the story with Chambers ? What page can I find the sticky please mate ?

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

          sort by sticky comments. Just Arsene musing that he's too young to play every match

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

            Arsene is bullshit, Chambers selected for England but not fit to play every game? lol

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

              Selected for England? England aren't playing a match for another 2 months right

          2. Jay_
              9 years, 5 months ago

              Ta mate

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

                No worries. What to you reckon stick or perfect time to ditch?

                1. Jay_
                    9 years, 5 months ago

                    I have Ivan and Zaba, with Hutton and Yun , for me I will keep as im already on -4 so Hutton will come in and can see that being 0-0 , I may just keep for the next gw but if nothing else arises a Sunderland defender for Chambers could be a good move

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

                      I want me one of these fancy city defenders everyone else has got for Christmas 😆 Have Hutton. Im not so sure about it being 0-0 though

            • tokara
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 5 months ago

              he will play this Friday...there aint no one else! every one is flagged.

          3. ChampionoftheWorld
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            What happened to chambers?

            1. Wishdom Teeth
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 5 months ago

              what is about cahmbers, precious?

            2. BeachBadger
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 5 months ago

              Just Arsene saying that hes too young to be playing so often. SOunds like a benching in in store

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

                Still play him in a good fixture. If he's rested, he won't be sub in.

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

                  True but want rid of him anyways. Not too confident of my bench coming in . Might be the perfect time to get rid

          Safest Chelsea defender to bring in?

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

            Terry i reckon. though Mou did say no player would play all 5 games over this period and Azpi has already missed his

          2. Captain Shirokov
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Azpi.

            As long as my captain plays 60 +plus minutes boxing day and I get 11 players out I will be happy , so much rotation and rest doubts around , is it like this every boxing day FPL wise ?

            1. BeachBadger
              • 10 Years

            Hi all,
            Best options for the 5th midfield spot to replace Marney.
            6-7 mill or so.

            Hazard, Sanchez, Downing, Siggy, Marney my current 5.

            4.1m in account. Happy with my defence and strikers except for rotation!
            Bolasie would be an option but he is leaving soon..

            1. The Blind Badger
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 5 months ago

              I would use all of that 4.1 and get Cazorla or sterling

              1. Sz21
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 12 Years
                9 years, 5 months ago

                Could get both Sterling or Cazorla..

                Milner or Nasri only City options...

                So maybe pick one from these to replace Marney?
                Or any other 8.5m or less Mid

                Sterling
                Cazorla
                Milner
                Nasri
                Eriksen?

            2. Zweeps
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 5 months ago

              Would look into getting a city midfielder. If not then keep it cheap and go boyd!

          • bigbudgie
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            OK 2FT done for better or worse, how am I looking

            Guzan
            Azpi Taylor Tompkins (Wisdom Yun)
            Siggy Haz Sanchez Yaya ADM
            Costa Kane (Sakho)

            No idea who to captain

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

              Id go Sanchez from that.
              Who on on so far?

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

                Was thinking Yaya - had him captain last game and he was a menace.
                I think he deserves another week, could explode, with pens/fks too.
                Don't like Sanchez playing out wide

            2. Cevap
              • 13 Years

              i'm on Sanchez now, however Yaya and Haz are tempting

            In my draft league, should i drop Larsson and pick up Ox?

              Sanchez (c) may be a bit risky. Surely Giroud is a safer bet

              Doesn't seem too serious based off what Hazard said himself which is good

              asked earlier, but only one reply....any thoughts great minds...do I rid Welbs for?

              a) benteke
              b) bony
              c) save

              also wanted to rid Baines, Costa and Hazard (depending on injury) but thinking to just save 2 ft's for the weekend matches. any of these three worth getting rid for -4? cheers for the advice.

                I see goals in those games

                  Looks solid , I like captain , in your situation I would be tempted to -4 Sakho to Kane and bench Downing , only need 1 Kane goal for it to pay off and essentially become a free transfer , could get a brace a 3 bonus points too

                my opponent is a ghost team as well 0 total transfer , but wow pretty strong one for this gw..

                    yeah , but still they could shock anyone if they start , has goal and assist in their locker..will be frustrated to lose to this kind of ghost team..ohya he has ddg too..his team has less flagged than mine o.0

                Who to put higher on the bench?

                Wisdom (MCI)
                Dummett (mun)

                Downing is first on bench. This is for second.

                    9 years, 5 months ago

                    Dummet because Man U are still a work in progress could easily be a 0-0 or Newcastle nick it 1-0

                    1. Sánchez

                      Man Utd will win this one easily I think
                      Geordies let 4 in away to Soton and Gunners.
                      They had a proper keeper in those games

                    Wisdom sits at the far end of my bench this week, even though WBA is home

                      Still doesn't answer my question, though. 😆

                      Newcastle are shite so tempted to stick him last.

                        Newcastle runs hot and cold. I could see them conceding fewer goals than WBA.

                  Hi all,
                  Best options for the 5th midfield spot to replace Marney.

                  Hazard, Sanchez, Downing, Siggy, Marney my current 5.

                  4.1m in account.

                  Interesting news about Chambers. What I want to know, is who can replace him at CB? Koscielny is injured.

                    • 9 Years

                    Kos is 50/50 according to Arsene. Hoping Chambers plays (from an Austin owner).

                    9 years, 5 months ago

                    Debuchy played at CB last time out so presumably no change.

                    Monreal and Bellerin are both returning to fitness and competing for a fullback spot. Alternatively, Monreal played a few at CB previously until he was dropped in favour of Chambers for the Stoke match (in which he was abysmal) so he may return there, and Debuchy out to RB.

                      Good spot. I would have expected Chambers to play CB but you are quite right, it was Debuchy. Chambers has to go then

                        I think so. Prob one of those it's best to get onto. Before you are left cursing!

                          I have Duff as well but loads of cash in the bank. Will probably keep Chambers and just have him as my 5th defender. Duff is more of an urgent problem right now

                            Then again, maybe its time to just cash in on Chambers (even though he's not technically out of favour/dropped) even though it might only be a rest.

                              Purely on the grounds that you want active players at this time of the year I'd be tempted to move Duff on as Chambers will prob at least play one of the game games, and Duff may play neither, and certainly not both.

                              Especially given that cash flow is not an issue and you can make a decent upgrade if that's the direction you want to go in

                                Yeah I think thats the shrewd play. Cheers for your help
