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.

    Morning all and merry Xmas eve. Ask me anything! P.s the rash is gone now so you can leave that question.

        On his foot.

        He caught it from the mistle-toe.

        Ho Ho Ho!

    2. Poseidon. Not arrogant, jus…
      • 13 Years

      Merry Xmas Eve! How did you get rid of the rash? You seem to have given me it.

      1. SPorting
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        He gave it to just about everyone.

        You too? Jesus I'm sorry bro.

    3. Nico.
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Captaincy! 😀

      Siggy | Yaya (c) | Hazard | Sanchez (vc) | Sterling
      Austin | Costa

      Correct choices?

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

        If Hazard is fit I prefer him

        1. Nico.
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Hmmm, good pick for sure. Just worried about the doubt.

          Yaya (vc), then?

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

            Wait for Chelsea news. If he's a doubt stick with what u have.

            1. Nico.
              • 12 Years

      2. The Count of Monte Cristo

      Will Hazard be fit? And where have I left the sellotape?

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

        Yes (I pray) and on my bedside cabinat

        1. how now brown cow
          • 11 Years

          Excellent. And thanks. Don't ask why i need sellotape in bed...

  4. Tezmoore
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    My team:

    Foster (Elliot)
    Azpilicueta - Baines - Hutton (Wisdom, Bartley)
    Hazard - Sanchez - Yaya - Siggy (Wayama)
    Austin - Costa - Bony

    2ft 0.0itb

    Best option
    A) Foster + Wayama > Pantilimon + Boyd
    B) Costa + Siggy > Kane + Silva
    C) save
    D) ??

  5. Mak_Gold

      When will we find out if Sigurdsson is fit?

      1. Kevtheotter
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        This

        1. Rhinos
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          He is back in contention, says so Swansea City website

      2. Enzo the Baker
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Looks like he's back ?

        "Monk confirmed that he has a fully fit squad to choose from ahead of the visit of Aston Villa.
        Jefferson Montero (hamstring), Gylfi Sigurdsson (foot) and Leon Britton (knee) all missed the trip to Hull last weekend and are now back in contention."

        11 years, 3 months ago

        Krul* (probably be becomes Pants)
        Baines - Clyne - Wisdom
        Sanchez - Hazard* - Siggy* - Downing
        Costa - Rooney - Bony

        Foster - Boyd - Wisdom - Moore

        Likely to get 11 out (excluding Wisdom & Moore)?

        1. SPorting
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Just.

        2. Zweeps
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          11 out maybe... but minutes wise...

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

          The correct answer is nobody knows unfortunately. Hopefully though.

        This is Joey Barton's FPL team...

        Forster
        Coleman - Clyne - Baines - Wisdom - Hutton
        Sanchez - Siggy - Downing - Cesc - Boyd
        Costa - Austin - Costa

        1. The Count of Monte Cristo
          • 13 Years

          Pretty good tbh!

        2. SPorting
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Costa and Costa.

        Adrian
        Azpi Baines Chambers (Clyne Wisdom)
        Hazard (c) Sanchez Nasri Siggy (Downing)
        Kane Bony (v) Costa (boo)

        Morning all. Lots of quandries this week. Would like more City, but given fixtures is it worth saving ft? As in real life there's nothing in the bank.

        1. The Count of Monte Cristo
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Are you confident Hazard will play both games?

          At least you have a City player, whereas I, below, have none. I'd save if I were you.

          1. how now brown cow
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            Thanks. Not confident over Hazard but feel he could get a big score or not feature at all.

            Regretting Nasri already - he was my no city cover panic last week when i really should have done baines to zaba.

            1. Rhinos
              • 12 Years
              11 years, 3 months ago

              If Haz fit he starts

      8. The Count of Monte Cristo
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Don't really know how to get Man City players in? Is it worth doing Guzan --> Hart?

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

        1 FT and 2.1m ITB

      9. Kuqi Monster
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Will chambers start?

        FFS has him on the bench, but I'm not so sure...

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

          Kosc should be back with debuchy rb. So no I don't think he will

          1. Rhinos
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            Kos has a chance for Sunday according to Wenger ie will miss boxing day

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

              Oh didn't see that. Just saw the chambers rest quotes. Perhaps he will then unless bellerin comes in at rb

      10. Bolt-on
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Best captain?

        A) Sterling
        B) yaya
        C) Bony
        D) Costa
        E) Austin

        Thanks

        4. NABIL - FPL otai
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          B or if you're brave, D.

          1. Bolt-on
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            I want to put it on him but I cant - you would think a team coming first at home their striker would be guaranteed goals but he works like a labourer and the mids benefit more from his workload

        5. AxeMinion
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          From that list you'd have to go Costa or Yaya, although I've got a funny feeling about Sterling this week.

          If it were me - Yaya

      11. Red Star Toro
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Merry xmas lads! Now, can you please RMT?

        Guzan
        Baines Wisdom Trippier Yun Moore
        Alexis Eden Yaya Downing Boyd
        Austing Bony Costa

        0.0 ITB, 1 FT

        Thinking about Trippier -> Vergini/Saylor. Any other ideas?

        1. AxeMinion
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Given the fixtures Vergini/Saylor have, I'd be tempted to save.

      12. SPorting
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Nothing else to but drink sherry and post my finalised team:

        Panti
        Baines, Azpi, Chambers
        Fab, Sanchez(vc), Yaya, Downing
        Costa, Bony(C), Austin

        Guzan, Boyd, Hutton, Chester

        3. Ludo
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Very good. Decent bench as well. I would change the VC for a safer pick though - can't imagine you'll need him, but I think security of start is more important than explosive potential (I'd go Cesc or Yaya instead).

          1. SPorting
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            Done!

        4. NABIL - FPL otai
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          nice one. Not interested with a City defender?

          1. SPorting
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            Toyed with Baines -> Zaba but worried about rotation and now I will have 2FT's for next week may be quite useful.

            1. NABIL - FPL otai
              • 13 Years
              11 years, 3 months ago

              fair point. I did that move you mentioned. Not that worried with rotation since I like the way Zaba is playing these days, plus I think I have decent subs to cover him.

        5. AxeMinion
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years

        4. Sebbo29
          • 11 Years

          brown for me

        5. chocolove
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          White one. Is that bluetooth support AA7?

          1. Lallana_
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            Nope! Bluetooth unfortunately cuts sound quality a bit but the wire is detachable. Very good headphone for a cheap price unlike Beats.

      15. Rats Ass
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        I have no City players and I think they're likely to bag a few points. I can't sell Costa for City as they have no fwds.

        So planning Hazard (poss rested) to Silva.

        Makes sense?

        1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          No.

          1. Rats Ass
            • 16 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            Why not?

            1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 16 Years
              11 years, 3 months ago

              Because, imo, Silva will never get as many points as Hazard.

              I have just bought Silva, by the way. For Sigurdsson.

                I think that's probably true but I only bought Hazard recently so I won't lose money. Idea would be to downgrade Baines and or Ivan to get him back post Christmas.

                Maybe I'll just replace Krul so I don't have to play Foster vs City.

        Keep or ditch Baines? Opinions?

        1. Bolt-on
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Too expensive everton really annoying at the back now

        2. SPorting
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Keep.

          Dodgy form but guaranteed game time and should still have a few set-pieces up his sleeve.

          I'm sure there are other issues that need to be addressed first.

          most important during this time is nailed on so would keep at least for next 3 games

          Im thinking of ditching baines for a city defender, however in the back of mind i know Baines will get an assist a goal and a clean sheet eventually ive made the same mistake on many ocasions i sell him then his form changes, so im in 2 minds there.
          What are the thoughts of other Baines owners?

          I'll prob do baines -> zab when he fails again this week.

          Worried zab will be rested and everton will get pens against stoke.

          I have Baines and the problem is a great one to have. Selling him gives you so many options and he releases funds for a double switch.

          He's not hitting it this year though. After Stoke, if I need funds to get City coverage, he's getting dropped... but if he gets 8pts+ then he's probably going to stay in the side.

          Right now - for Stoke - keep.

          After that, depends on Stoke performance and needs elsewhere.

        1. Bolt-on
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Falcao is enough of a differential just having him

      18. PaulParker

        2FT, 0.6 to spend. How can I strengthen this lot?

        Thinking Debuchy in, chambers out. And save other tranny?

        Foster
        Clyne - Naylor - Chambers
        Sanchez - Haz - Toure - Fab
        Costa - Austin - Sakho

        Gilks - Siggy - Wisdom - Hutton

        1. Mak_Gold
            11 years, 3 months ago

            Play Siggy ahead of Sakho maybe?

            Decent team. Be careful.

            I sold Sánchez three weeks ago, for Cazorla.

            • 14 Years

            Hazard is fit and likely to play. Oscar will return to the team.

            Not you at it as well?

            Will they have pressers at all today? They train in the morning tomorrow don't they? If that's the case then wouldn't any press conference be after that?

        4. Just A Wooden Spoon
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Costa & Mirallas -> Giroud & Silva (-4).

          Worth it?

            • 14 Years

          skrtel for the next 3 gw's since none of the man c defenders seem to be nailed on?

          1. Ludo
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            On four yellows though...

            1. chocolove
              • 15 Years
              11 years, 3 months ago

              Yes, i notice this too. But 1 match suspend is better than doubtful / rest risk player imo

              1. chocolove
                • 15 Years
                11 years, 3 months ago

                As we'll know when he's unavailable

              2. Ludo
                • 12 Years
                11 years, 3 months ago

                Why? Will play two out of the next three either way, and I'm assuming those are the fixtures you're looking at

                1. chocolove
                  • 15 Years
                  11 years, 3 months ago

                  Yes nothing wrong with defensive transfer based on fixture
                  I'm a bit confident, unless get YC he'll play all 3 games

                  1. Petr Chec Yourself
                    • 12 Years
                    11 years, 3 months ago

                    4 yellows is a big concern!

          2. Sharkytect
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            Yeah, would consider if it weren't for those yellows. He will get more goals.
