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.

    Ah. Lanley Staurel?

      Morning.

      1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Your tables. Fine effort.

        Over what timescale do they run?

        1. Lanley Staurel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          11 years, 10 months ago

          I use 2 weeks to give a leading indicator. Things change and Sterling as a forward means I need a current view. Ta much!

          1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭

            OK. You need to state that in the space provided, near the top. Defence needs to run for at least FOUR weeks, imo - I run mine for six.

            You need to decide whether to use matches or weeks.

            Imo, your two attacking tables are trying to do two jobs at once, and I don't believe that to be possible.

              Thanks for feedback. Will have a ponder.

    Heskey's back! 😆

    Best def for the next 6 gamewks within 5.5?

    Have Naylor.

    1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Dummett or Cresswell/Tomkins,imo.

      1. Chris_H
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Debuchy? Or Kos if he's back

      2. Kevtheotter
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Ha you always have a West Ham suggestion. Was it always this way or just now that they are having an amazing season? You have serious love for Creswell

        1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭

          1. Kevtheotter
            11 years, 10 months ago

            This in no way answers my question... Literally no idea what that means

            1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              11 years, 10 months ago

              Fine. It does, but you can't be bothered to look.

              1. Kevtheotter
                11 years, 10 months ago

                No I just don't understand how that is an answer to

                Have you always suggested West Ham or is it because of their great season.

                Che: -386 of course

                1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  11 years, 10 months ago

                  No , I have not. There are two plum fixtures coming up for a full back who is showing great attacking potential.

                  Unfortunately, you are not a member, so you can't see the table.

                  1. Kevtheotter
                    11 years, 10 months ago

                    Yes it is unfortunate. I'm sure you now understand my confusion at the numbers which must come from members area?

                    1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
                      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                      11 years, 10 months ago

                      No, those are from my ticker.

                      1. Kevtheotter
                        11 years, 10 months ago

                        Alright cheers...

                11 years, 10 months ago

                And I'm actually very bothered as im still trying to figure it out

                1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  11 years, 10 months ago

                  Have you actually got Naylor? Or, is Coleman affordable? Have you investigated Stones?

                  1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    11 years, 10 months ago

                    Stones MAY replace Distin - but I don't know.

    2. Oz lotto
      11 years, 10 months ago

      cissoko or hutton for me

    3. Buck The Trent

  4. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Safe nailed on captain...
    Or risky not nailed on potential cameo captain?

    1. flippetyflop
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Safe nailed on IMO.....if not go Sanchez...IMO if he is benched he won't come on, and if he starts he can do enough in 60 mins to cause damage

  5. flippetyflop
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Sanchez to Cazorla look good? or Moore to Zab ( I have 2.8 in bank)

    Forster (Mccarthy)

    Baines Azpi Taylor (Moore) (wisdom)

    Sanchez Hazard Eriksen Downing (Boyd)

    Bony(C) Costa Austin

    1. SGTMacaroni
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I like Moore to Zab mo(o)re, but you could also save

  6. icywrists23

    1. SW6
      11 years, 10 months ago

  9. Oz lotto
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Lads need some advice on this lot! 1 FT 2.5 ITB

    Guzan Elliot
    Terry Berty Naylor Wisdom Dummo

    1. SGTMacaroni
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I'd look to get rid of Lukaku

      1. Oz lotto
        11 years, 10 months ago

        cheers mate - next week I'll be ridding myself of berty because he has CHE ARS mun after that 🙁

      2. Oz lotto
        11 years, 10 months ago

        who to do you think?

        1. SGTMacaroni
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Giroud Maybe? im struggling to find a replacement for costa myself. Its not that i think costa is a good option its just that there isnt anyone id rather have.

          1. Oz lotto
            11 years, 10 months ago

            I find with Aguero out, hazard under an injury cloud, yaya going to ACON, there is a real lack of transfers that I'm really dying to do and players who I really want!

      3. Oz lotto
        11 years, 10 months ago

        also... bloody great rank mate 🙂

    2. Sebbo29
      11 years, 10 months ago

      C for almost anyone of Gru/Costa/maybe even Falcao

      1. Oz lotto
        11 years, 10 months ago

        thanks! i'm worried about Giroud's fixtures after this week.. whm and sot aren't the easiest teams to score against

        1. Sebbo29
          11 years, 10 months ago

          other option could be Benteke, should be nailed every match and Villains have great fixtures too

    3. Rabbinton
      11 years, 10 months ago

      C to Giroud

    4. Oz lotto
      11 years, 10 months ago

    1. mookie
      11 years, 10 months ago

  12. Rabbinton
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Who do you captain here?

    Costa
    Giroud
    Sanchez
    Hazard
    Eriksen

    1. Sebbo29
      11 years, 10 months ago

      11 years, 10 months ago

    Still holding on to Siggy and Hazard - worth getting rid for a hit or chancing it

    1. Baines on Toast...
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Siggy is confirmed fit.

          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.

    2. SW6

      Neither are worth getting rid for free.

  16. Jafooli
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Need Hazard news asap.....

    1. Big_Andy_GAWA
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Indeed. Need / want to captain him !!

      1. Woy
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Think he'll play AT?

        1. A.T
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Yes

          1. Sebbo29
            11 years, 10 months ago

            he'll play, question is for how long, am thinking around 60 minutes depending on how the game will go

            1. Woy
              11 years, 10 months ago

              (C)

          2. Woy

            I like this

  17. Valar(Keith)
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Looking for a 4.4 replacement for Yun.. Considerin i already have Pantilimon and no villa
    A) Hutton
    B) Oshea (ignore the 4 yellows for now)

    1. Valar(Keith)
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I already own Dummett/Wisdom 🙂

    2. SW6
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Ben Davies?

      1. Valar(Keith)
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Rotation threat + MUN/CHE after this week

      2. SW6
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Hutton is a good pick too though

    3. Sebbo29
      11 years, 10 months ago

      yes those 2 or maybe Robertson. I know it's HULL but they have to turn it around now and their fixtures are actually quite good (sun-LEI-EVE)

      1. Sebbo29
        11 years, 10 months ago

        ...wba-whm-NEW

  18. EWH2020
    11 years, 10 months ago

    What is my best option?

    A) Siggy out for Yaya
    B) Erikson out for Yaya
    C) hold Siggy and Erikson

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 10 months ago

      B, Eriksen inconsistent

    2. Kevtheotter
      11 years, 10 months ago

      C... All day every day. Stop

    3. mookie
      11 years, 10 months ago

      C imo

    4. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 10 months ago

      We are now getting perilously close to ACON, so you have missed the boat, and therefore C), imo.

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 10 months ago

        This

  19. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Yaya (c), Siggy (vc)?'

    Also have Hazard, Costa and Sanchez

    1. Oz lotto
      11 years, 10 months ago

      yep looks right 😀

    2. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Probably, then. I am going to give Cazorla a whirl.

  20. Business Dog
    11 years, 10 months ago

    2FT and 2.0 ITB. What to do here?

    Adrian (4.0)
    Zaba Azpi Clyne (N.Taylor) (Moore)
    Hazard Sanchez Siggy Downing (Boyd)
    Rooney Costa Austin

  21. Kevtheotter
    11 years, 10 months ago

    So in all honest what's the craic with this Chelsea presser? Is it actually going to happen and when?

  22. Big_Andy_GAWA
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Am half considering Lukaku to Giroud. Or keep ? Am 0.1 short of doing Kane to Giroud. Could then do Lukaku to Benteke the week after 🙁

  23. Burly - swear i wont ever (…
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Currently, my front 7 is Hazard, Siggy, Yaya, Chadli, Rooney, Bony, Costa

    Is it worth doing Chadli, Rooney, > Downing & Giroud?

    1. Kevtheotter
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Na not this week anyway and Girouds fixtures dodgy over the next 4 weeks... Save

  24. Cojiro
    11 years, 10 months ago

    G2G?

    Panty
    Zab, Bartley, Clyne
    San(c)hez, Siggy, Silva, Hazard
    Austin, Costa, Rooney (vc)

    Subs: Elliot, Marney, Wisdom, Moore
    2.0 ITB, 0FT

    1. Hasselbaink Forever
      11 years, 10 months ago

      You transferred Fab out this week?!

      1. Cojiro
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Massive knee jerk before he played! I panicked!

  25. Ando
    11 years, 10 months ago

    I just did Sakho --> Steven Fletcher for a hit, might even captain him. Someone pray for me 😀

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      11 years, 10 months ago

      😯

      Bravery like that deserves reward! 😀

      1. Ando
        11 years, 10 months ago

        I could look like an absolute genius or an absolute fool! 😀

        1. Wilshere Knowledge
          11 years, 10 months ago

          If it's the latter, best just keep quiet about it. 😉 😆

          1. Ando
            11 years, 10 months ago

            Haha yep

    2. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Wow.

      1. Ando
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Only word for it 😉

    3. Sebbo29
      11 years, 10 months ago

      if you do such transfer and even for a hit then you might as well go all the way and captain him

      1. Ando
        11 years, 10 months ago

        You've got a good point! Seeing as though he's certain to start and there are question marks over some heavy hitters being rotated, he might be a 'safe' option.

  26. Eye of the Schweinsteiger
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Who is the best budget defender under 4.3m with Yun injured? ( other than steven taylor)

  27. GreenWindmill
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 10 months ago

    I have Kompany and Yun and 1 ft. Would you take a hit to ensure a full bench? Not sure who I'd actually want to bring in his week - there are no defences I'm particularly desperate to invest in for the next month or so 😕

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Will you definitely be able to get out 11 players?

      1. GreenWindmill
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 10 months ago

        See below: it looks like I should be able but rotation is a bitch sometimes.

        1. Wilshere Knowledge
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Hazard seems fine, and he wont be rested for such a tough game, one in which they have struggled to break down in the past.
          I expect Sanchez to play as well, although it's a bit riskier.
          I'm sure Sagna will just get the Burnley game as well.

          That being said, with Yun out for a while, it might be worth just making sure. I've put out 10 men, and 9 men the last 2 weeks just from unexpected dropping.
          My bench this week is Austin, Naylor, Hutton 😆

          1. GreenWindmill
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            11 years, 10 months ago

            Good bench 😯

            Thanks for the advice 🙂

    2. GreenWindmill

      Also have 2.5 in the bank and the standard rotation concerns (Hazard, Sanchez, Zabaleta, etc.)

      I wouldn't... you will have 2 on the bench just trading one so a -4 for just the bench isn't necessary imo

        That's what I thought, cheers.

      Yes, right at this week, I would.

        It's the only time of year I'd consider it. Any views on who for Doos?

          Punt: Stones

          Right now, if no Naylor, then him. Otherwise Cresswell/Tomkins or Coleman, if affordable.

          Other than the usual suspects, of course.

            My others are Zabaleta, Baines, Terry so any of those are options. Cheers again 🙂

    Yoshida @ 4.2 played 90 mins the last 2 home games
    Davies @ 4.4 seems nailed on now

    both looking potential WC possibilities - who else have YOU similarly spotted ?!

      Yoshida is not first choice. He will play again this weekend with Fonte suspended, but not after that.

    2. SW6
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Potentially Kolo, Debuchy will almost definitely be in my Jan WC team

    who remembers when Mou was Coy on Costa's Injury & he went on to score a hatrick the next week. might as well happen with Hazard.
