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.

    Arsène Wenger: Calum Chambers is too young to play so often for Arsenal

      Perhaps if he'd held on to Vermaelen or bought another central defender, he wouldn't have needed to play Chambers so much.

      The irony

      Was just about to make other transfers. Time to get rid of him.

        It doesn't mean he will be rested. Arsenal don't have any other CB

    I want to play Vergini but how can I get him in?

    I'm from India and my cup opponent is from Pakistan.

    What were the odds? 😆

    This should have been the final. 😉 😀

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

      Idk

    2. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Quite high to be honest.

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

        I mean I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often...
        What with India having a pop. of 1.2 Billion & Pakistan with 182 million we should expect to see this all the time, right?

    3. HVT

      You missed a decent opportunity today Pops to get Falcao in mate, coulda been epic for you!
      God only knows when Aguero gets back!

      1. pundit of punts
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Kun is back late Jan. Not long to go now.

        And Falcao is as injury prone as Aguero if not more.

        I'd take half a season of Kun than a full of Falcao any day. 😉

    Newcastle goalkeeper Tim Krul ahead of schedule and targeting Chelsea game

    1. Whazza

      Damn fpl had him back for Boxing day

    2. pundit of punts
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Nice. Hope he drops to 4.4m before he gets back.

  5. Judas
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    If you could have Benteke or Giroud for the next 4 GW's (for free) who would you get?

    First to 5 wins

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

      1 2 3 4 5

      What did I win? (Giroud btw)

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

        A sarney

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

          Idk what that is but thanks very much

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

            sarney = sandwich = your avatar

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

              It's not a sandwich, I'm offended.

                chicken with peas?

    2. Every Dog Has Its Day
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Giroud because he is Oliver

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

      Don't trust Benteke and Villa, so Giroud even though Arsenal are also playing crap:p

    4. Carrick Doesn't Deserv…
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      benteke

  6. RSe
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    If Haz is declared fit is Haz (c) Costa (vc) an option? Surely wont both be rested?

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

      And what if the game is off? Won't you feel like an idiot?

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

        A Hurricane is a-coming

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

        Very good.

    2. Every Dog Has Its Day
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      In my view (I have both)

      Hazard -> Rested
      Costa will play

    3. John Nerdelbaum
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      This place will be a laugh if that happens

      1. John Nerdelbaum
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        But yeah you should be safe with that

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

    Im about to pull the trigger...

    Costa & Siggy --> Fabregas & Benteke?

    1. The Blind Badger
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      For free yes - looks alright.

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

        Its actually for -4. But i will miss out on it if fab rises tonight. i have 0 itb

        1. The Blind Badger
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Tough choice. Costa could easily outscore either one of them.

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

            yeh.. ok i might just give costa one last week. il take the hit next GW. he's dead to me

    2. pundit of punts
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I like it. But maybe a week too early.

  8. The Blind Badger
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Madness or brilliance:

    Costa, Mirallas and Siggy out for Giroud, Cazorla and Sterling (-4)

    Or the wussy way out: Costa and Mirallas for Giroud and Silva.

    1. John Nerdelbaum
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      wussy

      1. pundit of punts
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        +1

      2. The Blind Badger
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Who you calling a wuss?! I throw down a -16 right here!

        1. John Nerdelbaum
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          lol

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

      I'd do the -4 but probably statistically smarter to do the second

      1. The Blind Badger
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Punty by name, punty by nature.

    3. Dead Cat Bounce

      1. The Blind Badger
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Cheers DCB, seems the safe move.

        Cazorlas recent form is tempting though. 8,14,6 in the last 3 with QPR up next.

    4. The Blind Badger
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Thanks for the replies fellas.

  9. Uncle Gamst
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Do I save free transfer, Krul > Panti or something else?

    Foster

    Baines, Azpilicueta, Clyne

    Hazard, Downing, Fàbregas, Sigurdsson

    Welbeck, Bony, Rvp

    Subs: Boyd, Dummett, Wisdom

    Thanks

    1. pundit of punts
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Stick.

  10. penguinsofdeath
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Foster (Myhill)

    Azpi / Baines / Vlaar (Jenkinson / Yun)

    Hazard / Fabregas / Sanchez / Silva (Boyd)

    Benteke / Bony / Austin

    1.1itb 1ft

    So do I:
    a) save it
    b) Bony to Giroud?
    c) something else?

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

    I fear Bellerin will start against QPR with Chambers on the bench...

    Anyone else?

    1. pundit of punts
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      But Chambers just had a rest.

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

        Hopefully you're right. Judging by Wengers comments it could happen though...

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

          So chambers too young to play often, so you replace him with a younger player with barely any pl experience.

          Sounds logical.

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

      I fear this chambers has a long rest coming with Kos due back after Qpr.

  12. sinik
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    Fabregas has got more assists (12) since he joined Chelsea than Jack Wilshere has throughout his entire Arsenal career (11)

    1. pundit of punts
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      lol @ Jack.

      He assisted in lighting up more cigs though.

    2. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Sorry for the repost everyone

      Is it worth transferring Siggy out for ADM? Or Sterling? 0ft 5.7 itb

      Adrian
      Zabaleta, Davies, Naylor
      Sanchez, Hazard, Silva, Sigurdsson
      Giroud(c), Kane, Costa

      Boyd, Dummet, Yun

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Sorry for reply fail also

    3. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Fabregas has played more games since he joined Chelsea than Jack Wilshere has throughout his entire Arsenal career

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

        Wrong.

    I'm up against this guy:

    http://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/3364292/history/

    Are you allowed teams that have been set up specifically for the Cup? He started in GW13, the FFS Cup qualifying week.

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      noooooooooooooo

        • 15 Years

          • 15 Years

          But I thought there was a rule against it. This is the FFS cup, not the FPL one.

          1. Woeisme
            • 13 Years

            Just need to be registered on this site and have a paddy account. As far as I know

  14. Sz21
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    A. Siggy ( 6.4m) + Bolassie as a 5th mid or
    B. Yaya/ADM/Silva/Sterling + Marney as 5th.

    If choosing B who is the best option. (Cant be Chelsea)
    Already have
    Alexis, Hazard, Downing, Siggy (6.4), Marney.

    1. Sz21
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      4.1m and 1 ft to upgrade..

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

      Bolasie will leave in January.

    SAMAAEL Fantasy Football Scout Member
    Adrian
    Azpi/ wisdom/ chambers
    Hazard/ alexis/ siggy / eriksen
    Rooney/ benteke/ bony

    Xxxx/ downing/ dummet/ duff

    Not fussed on getting rid of adrian.

    Was thinking something like:
    Rooney to giroud and captain, then siggy to Man City midfielder.

    Worried of lack of city midfield

  16. The Man Pastore
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Costa/Downing/Moore --> Kane/ADM(C)/Mangala -4pts

    Next GW: Dummett --> Vergini

    Yay or Nay?

    1. LOCO ABREU
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      nay

  17. Pomp and Circumstance
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    should I do?...

    Baines --> Terry

    Sigurdsson --> Silva

    P. Cisse --> Kane

    thinking it would strengthen my team over next few weeks

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

      Last one only this week.

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

        this

      2. Pomp and Circumstance
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        I'd rather make the changes now tho, when Cup opponent isn't as strong; would also like to have Walters instead of Boyd, but don't see how to do so

      3. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        I'm selling Kane for Austin after this week he is up against Utd and Chelsea. I like owning Silva atm over cities striker situation

      4. Zasa
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        This for sure

    2. LOCO ABREU
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      last 2

      1. Pomp and Circumstance
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        have to also transfer out Baines to make it work; 6.7 left itb after bringing in Kane and Silva...

        1. Pomp and Circumstance
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          think I'm going to do all 3, namely:

          Baines --> Terry

          Sigurdsson --> Silva

          P. Cisse --> Kane

          then, for next GW, probably:

          Wisdom --> Steven Taylor

          and

          Boyd --> Walters

      He's involved in majority of things they do, goals or assists.

      Costa only goal threat.

    Giroud(c), Kane, Costa
