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.

    I think Hazard will start and play 70ish mins as long as Chelsea are winning.

    1. A.T
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Me too

    2. Lanley Staurel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      You reckon? Cannot for the life of me decide safe captain choice. Currently on Sterling and vc with Kane.

      Imagine if your captain and vc both got rested. Chaos.

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

        Exactly why not going hazard and Sanchez 🙂

        1. Lanley Staurel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Thought I would pick two players who will defo play!

    3. Gooner97
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I hope.

    4. Puyol Pants Up
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Hazard (C) for me. Bony (VC)

      Can only see Hazard either starting or sitting out the game completely

    5. Tim Canterbury
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Sanchez (c) Bony (v)

      Surely one of them will play

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

    DDG
    Jags Clichy Azpi Clyne
    Sanchez Fab Lampard
    Costa Austin Welbeck

    Krul Downing Siggy Duff

    0.1 ITB 1FT

    Am already getting rid of clyne next week…Do i also:

    A) Save FT for next week
    B) Downgrade Jagielka this GW and invest in a better forward(Welbeck --> ?,-4 hit).
    C) Downgrade Jagielka and upgrade to a better Midfielder next week(Siggy/Downing/Lampard -->?)
    D) Transfer Krul/Duff to save against rotation?

    1. Fabio20
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Just Jags out.

  3. Rex Lapis
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Wisdom out for?
    A. Zaba
    B. Terry

    other defenders: Baines Azpi Dummet Yun

    1. Fabio20
      • 13 Years

    2. Waterboyd

  4. Fabio20
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    What you do with this lot?

    Hart
    Azpi, Zab, Clyne, Naylor
    Sanchez, Haz, Yaya, Siggy
    Costa, Austin

    4.0, Downing, Sakho, Yun.

  5. Holmes
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Martinez adds that Tony Hibbert, Osman and Gibson are likely to miss the Stoke and Newcastle games.

    1. Puyol Pants Up
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Stoke might actually win 😆

  6. Puyol Pants Up
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    A comment got deleted?

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

      Yes.

      1. Puyol Pants Up
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Why? Which one?

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

          I can say this because of Sigg's back comment was here but now it is at last page. I dont know which one though.

    2. Van Dal
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Do you play the fox game puyol?

      1. Puyol Pants Up
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        No

    3. HVT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      They felt mine was more appropriate as the top of page comment rather than some spam 😉

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

        😮

  7. Gooner97
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Why Austin price didn't rise?

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

      Some Stupid rules there 🙁
      after removal of red flag, can not price rise bla bla

      1. Gooner97
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Meh

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

      Must be price protected, unfortunately

  8. Clay
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Would really appreciate some guidance, fellas ...

    Adrian
    Baines, Chambers, Taylor
    Sanchez, Hazard (c), Yaya, Downing
    Austin, Costa, Bony (vc)

    Gilks, Clyne, Wanyama, PVA

    Should I use FT to bolster bench (e.g. PVA to Vergini), bring in Panti for Adrian, or something else?

    Cheers all ...

    1. Fabio20
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I think Panti is a good option.

  9. Pat Bonner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Yaya hasn't been mentioned much for the arm band this week? Looks the safest bet for me, nailed on with all the chat of rotation/rest for Sanchez and Haz. On pens and playing away to WBA who look poor defensively. Thoughts?

    1. The ghost of a Pug's g…
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Agree thoroughly

  10. Holmes
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Martinez: "It's a time now when we really need to find some consistency in our league results. We're all hurt and want to get back to winning."

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

      Baines's consistency and crosses are what they need. 🙁

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

    "have a chance" for making boxing day....

    Sounds like too much of a gamble to me to rely on Mirallas so worth bringing in Cazorla instead for free?

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

      I would do that transfer for free. Caz is in good form and nailed on

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

        😀

  12. Jonny Sutt
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Which 1 would u not want?

    A Sanchez
    B yaya
    C downing
    D ADM
    E hazard
    F miralles

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

      F

    2. Gooner97
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Mirallas atm, but he is a great fantasy pick

    3. Sebbo29
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      out of those F of course

  13. andres

    2. HVT

      1. HVT

  16. Gooner97

    Will Kolarov or Sagna play this GW?

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

      Doubtful, should be zaba and clichy

      1. HVT
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        This.

    2. The ghost of a Pug's g…
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Think sagna has more of a chance

      1. HVT
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        The next game for him I reckon.

  17. _Freddo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Sigurdsson has to be the perfect VC now.

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

      That's what I've done

    2. Puyol Pants Up
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      why?

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

        Well my logic is he's nailed on if fit whereas most my other options aren't and could be rested

      2. _Freddo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Is fit, will start, their squad doesn't have the luxury not to play him unlike Chelsea or Arsenal who contain the 'risky 'Captain picks.

        Home to Villa us a good fixture.

        1. Puyol Pants Up
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          I haven't seen anything that says he is fit though

          1. _Freddo
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

              • 16 Years

              Saw a tweet saying he's trained as normal

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

            Hence why I said if

            11 years, 3 months ago

            Leon Britton, Gylfi Sigurdsson and Jefferson Montero all returned to training yesterday after missing the Hull trip, when Swansea ground out victory in what was a scrappy contest.

    11 years, 3 months ago

    Is it worhmth getting rid of Coleman if you have no other pressing transfers? Everton are not great these days and I can definitely see Stoke scoring. Downgrading him would free up some cash.

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

      Yes

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

      I took him out last night 🙁

      1. Hybrid.power
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        For who? I'd have 8.2 to spend!

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

          Hutton and upgraded my 5th mid

    3. A.T
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Yes indeedy

    4. Gobigorgohome
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      get rid of him asap imo.

    5. Gooner97
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Do it

    6. _Freddo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Put him as first sub just incase, not worth it this week with possible curve balls due to rotation, you know he will start both games as Hibbert is injured.

    2. Puyol Pants Up

      This is why I'm (C) hazard.

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

        Hazard confirmed 100%?

        1. Puyol Pants Up
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          No. But I can't see Hazard starting from the bench. He will either start or completely sit out. Sanchez in the other hand..

    Team good to go I jope but need a solid capt pick.......

    Pants
    Baines, Zab, Azpi
    Haz, Silva, Sanvhez, Downing
    Austin, Costa, Bony

    Siggy, Hutton, Wisdom

    Capt is currently on Sanchez with VC on Bony.
    I fear a rest for Sanchez like many others but reckon Bony will definetly start at home to Villa after weekend rest.....

    Hate capt choices around Christmas but love the amount of football we get to watch...
