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 did it this week.

  5. Van Dal
    • 16 Years
    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.

  6. GENERATION X
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Have to bench Downing or Sakho - I'm thinking on form bench the latter...

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

      Sakho

  7. Lawrø
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    I'm a little surprised Austin isn't on the captaincy poll this week... he just scored a hattrick!

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

      Have you seen QPR's away form!?

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

        Have you seen Arsenal's defence?!?

        If QPR score he'll be involved.

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

          But WILL they score?

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

            Arsenal have conceded 6 in the last 3 so it's possible, obviously it's ludicrous for me to sit here and claim definitively that they will score but I'm confident, I may not be confident enough to captain him however but I thought others would be.

            1. Caesar, Hot Mustache
              • 11 Years
              11 years, 3 months ago

              confident enough to start him, I am

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

      he never scores away and he's against Arsenal

      1. Christina.
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        He scored vs Chel and South away.

        1. Defcons are for Kinnear
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          so he only scores away against good teams

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

            *Puts Chambers back into my starting eleven*

            😀

      2. Black Knights
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        He's scored at Stamford Bridge and St Marys.

        1. Woy of the Wovers
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Too late

          1. Black Knights
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            Very much so!

    3. Skipdipper

      And they have chambers!!!

  8. Beautiful Game
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Who's the most nailed on liverpool defender? Would you go that route?

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

      Skrtel. I know the 4 YC, but yes

    2. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Think Man city and Chelsea def are better options, but if you wanne go with Liverpool, go with Skrtel then

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

      Jones 🙂

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

    Will Sanchez start?

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

      I hope

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

      I don't think he will

      1. Annie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        based on what?

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

          he was knackered v Liverpool and not involved
          they have options and harder games to come
          he needs a rest

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

            And wenger said he was tired

          2. Annie
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            what options!?

  10. andres
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    United attack worth looking at?

    Falcao?

    1. King H
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Look below

  11. Team News
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    @CPFC 6s6 seconds ago
    NW: We're looking at a couple of strikers, especially with Chamakh missing at the moment. We are in for a few left backs as well.

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

    Will Zaba play the next 2 games or will he likely get rested for one of them

    1. King H
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      He will Defo play imo.
      he's on fire and city can't afford any slip ups

    2. VougieDipond
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      City had lots of full back rotation at this time last season, they even fielded Boyata as a full back in one game, personally I expect the same again

  13. King H
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Falcao captain.
    Am I crazy ?

    Fabianski
    Zabaleta Chambers Wisdom
    Cesc Hazard Sanchez Siggy
    Costa Austin Fal(C)ao

    McCarthy Boyd Dummet Moore

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

      I would if i had him

      1. King H
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Am gonna go for it bro.
        hoping for at a goal and assist. With the angel back am sure more chances will come.his way and a start at old Trafford will have him pumped right up

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

      Could work

    3. Snibal
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I would go Sanchez or Siggy. If Falcao couldn't play more than 20 minutes 10 days ago he surely can't play 2 full matches in a few days. He played 90 mins last weekend..

      1. King H
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        A thought he played well through the whole 90 mins. Lvg willwill wanna give him gametime. And he took his chance well. Am thinking of taking a gamble on him

        1. Snibal
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          yes he played well but as a Dutchman myself I know how much Louis values fitness. I find it very hard to believe he will let him play more than 60 mins again if he was unable to play more than 20 mins just 10 days ago.

          1. King H
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            Hmm. Out of the rest I think Sanchez might get rested too.
            captain Costa ?

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

        This

        1. King H
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Thanks all

  14. Snibal
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Is it safe to assume that if Sanchez gets a rest he won't come in after 70 mins and score 1 point, but remain on the bench? I have him as my captain currently with Bony as VC since I think Bony is the likeliest of my captaincy options to play a full game, but if Sanchez starts I reckon he will score more points than Bony. Don't dare to captain Sanchez and VC Hazard for example which is why I chose Bony as VC. Does this make sense or am I on the wrong track here?

    1. Black Knights
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I know what you're saying. It's important to have your Vice as someone that will definitely feature. You're probably right, likelihood is Arsenal should win comfortably, so Sanchez won't be required from the bench if he starts there.

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

      Does to me but I'm captaining hazard then siggy as vice if fit otherwise silva vice

    3. Gavin - Gers in turmoil!!!
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Exact same here and yeah i reckon if he gets rested it'll be full rest.

    4. King H
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I think Sanchez will start mate

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

        He look exhausted v Liverpool though?

    1. Jafooli

      Who's his natural replacement? Clint Hill with someone else moving to LB?

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

        Traore. (He is a mid on FPL)

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

          Cheers...

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

        Traore if fit I guess

  18. andres

    Giroud owners, not worried about fixtures after qpr?

    1. Black Knights
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Nope. I like sou, STO, AST, spu, LEI, cry, EVE, qpr out of the next 10 after QPR to make it worthwhile.

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

        Would you bin costa for him?

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

          Thinking about that Costa > Gru

          1. Black Knights
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            I did Dzeko to Giroud last week. Worked out nicely.

        2. Black Knights
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          I have Costa too, so I'm not sure. Costa not in great form, but I don't think I'd take him out. Would be too worried.

    2. The Mandalorian

      arsenal create lots of chances

  19. Ferris Bueller

    1. Skipdipper

      Austin 100%

    Yun out then, with 2 free's I'm not sure what to do? 1.7m ITB.

    Yun>Janmaat?
    Sterling>City mid??

  25. Biggsy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Don't like that I'm facing having to play two of Austin, Wanyama and Boyd. Got too much £££ tied up in other players. What are people's thoughts on best downgrade to free up cash (2FT)?

    A) Yaya & Wanyama -> Silva & Siggy
    B) Sanchez & Wanyama -> Silva & Siggy
    C) Costa & Wanyama -> Giroud/Benteke & Sterling

    Would like Silva and Giroud/Benteke but thats not happening without a hit to free up more funds

  26. GoonerByron
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Yun out.. Easy use of 1FT out of 2FT to keep a fully playing squad... Just don't know who to replace him with now.. Kolo seems good value.

    1. Ziegler1988
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Hutton, Robertson, or Kolo are in my considerations

    2. Ferris Bueller
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Just looking at the same thing (with a max of £4.4 and Hutton and Wisdom already in the team) Shortlist of;
      Davies (Spurs) - looks nailed but not best fixtures
      Robertson (Hull) - team has poor form but good fixtures
      Palace - poor CS record

      At a higher price, Kolo looks your best bet, but I just don't trust him!

  27. Ziegler1988
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    With Yun injured and Moore dropped, I'm down to Clyne, Baines, and Terry. Use FT this week to ship Yun or Moore for bench safety or save and have two FTs to sort it?

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

      Use, atleast keep one backup defender

  28. Azathoth
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Play Downing or Siggy?

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

      sig sigga

    2. Annie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Siggy
