This afternoon, we roll out the fifth round draw of the Fantasy Football Scout Cup X, as sponsored by Paddy Power, and take a look back at the key events during Boxing Day’s fourth round ties.

There were three centurians in round four, who managed to go through into the fifth round in style with impressive three-digit points totals. United Nations was the fourth round’s top scorer, with his tally of 103 earning him £25 of free bets with Paddy Power.

Gimli son of Gloin’s score of 101 was more than enough to see off Dez and earn a fifth round tie with 1966 was a great year. Meanwhile, Luke Costello’s perfect century got the better of Rich Davies in the fourth round.

Granville also marches on, with his 71 score enough to take him through to the fifth round, where he faces Mediocre Men.

Other key fifth round match ups include Mata Is The Juan, who has drawn the short straw and faces the competition’s highest ranked manager Never Trust Lukaku, who sits in eighth overall. Laurel Hill faces United Nations, while Triggy takes on the Mutant Ninja Skrtels.

In total, 14 of the 64 fifth round competitors are in the top 1,000, further underlying how tough this tournament is during its later stages.

The full list of fourth round results can be found here while the fifth 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.

      1. Jeremiah
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Never rely on pool defence.

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

          Ok! They have better chance of clean sheets imo : - )

    2. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Baines > Zabs for me. Had enough of him - 0, 1, 1, 2, 1, 1, 2 for 7.2m can go blow goat

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

    4. dehat

  8. Jeremiah

  9. Wag the Drog
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Chambers and Wisdom -> Mangala and Hutton?

    I have Forster at GK and I'm a little worried about Bony up front too.

    1. Jimbo123
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      2 FT?

      1. Wag the Drog

        11 years, 2 months ago

        Yes

    2. Jeremiah
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      For free? Good moves if so.

      Have Bony myself and reckon I'll give him one more week, if he blanks then its Bony > Benteke.

    3. Wag the Drog
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Already have Clichy too.

  10. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Who gonna get rested tomorrow? Any big namers?

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Sanchez looked tired yesterday.

      1. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Are you joking?

        1. S.Kuqi
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

          You clearly weren't here after Liv-Ars game when everyone stated how he will be rested due to tiredness.

          1. Wilshere Knowledge
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 2 months ago

            I was. 😆 I thought it was stupid then, and I thought this might have been a continuation of the stupidity! 😉

            I had to make sure. 😀

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

        Are u serious? I've never seen a more energetic performance.

      3. Ser Football 42
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Sanchez looked elctric and the only player out there on Arsenal

      4. La Roja
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        😯

      5. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        I do think atleast one big name will be a no-show, just can't work out who....

      6. S.Kuqi
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        It was a joke. Clearly I'm no good at this.

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

      😮
      You are still finding that name 😀

  11. jaguar shark
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    A. Eriksen
    B. Sterling

    Is Raheem gonna go a run???

    1. Wag the Drog
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Against decent sides they are really taking him out of the game and giving him very few chances. Eriksen is a better option but tricky fixtures.

    Last Man Standing Update

    1. Bubz

      I'm still going strong!

  13. Dante
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    How does Foster & Siggy -> Hart & Silva sound?

    1. Jeremiah
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Good moves.

    2. Rui
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Sound moves

    3. Boss Hogg
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Deffo.

  14. YuvalSpurs
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Baines > Skrtel
    Chadli > Silva

    For free, yes or no?

    1. Jeremiah
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Wouldn't get Pool defence.

  15. Boss Hogg
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Hmm. Struggling to decide which forward to bench tomorrow.
    Who would you bench?

    Silva, Yaya, Downing, Hazard, Sanchez
    Kane, Costa, Austin

    ?

    1. Jeremiah
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Kane

    2. Rhys85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Downing maybe

  16. Team Zissou
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Hmm, Rooney or Benteke? (To replace Giroud (C) Groan..)

    1. Boss Hogg
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Tekkers

      1. Team Zissou
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Yeh, fixtures say Benteke but Roonpig's streaky.. Although haven't seen anything of It'd with him in his new position so..

  17. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Is there any Austin owner who is captaining different player ?

    1. Jeremiah
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Leaning towrads YYT.

    2. Team Zissou
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Austin (C) for me

    3. only2
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Undecided. Considering It

    4. UnderstandablyDistraught
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Leaning toward Silva

    5. Boss Hogg
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I've got Yaya and Silva too.

      Very tempted by those two.

      1. Rui
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Same here. Thing is, who do you captain out of those two?

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

      I'm on Austin, but I'm hoping that there isn't a reaction from Palace after Warnock being sacked

    7. boogle
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Possibly Benteke?

    8. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      On Sanchez at the moment. 😀

    9. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I would probably captain Silva but think he will be subbed around 70mins mark. So Austin for me then.

    10. Notorious
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Austin is the safest bet imo, the guy is a goal machine at home.

  18. only2
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Vergini -> Caulker? Yey?

  19. Sadio
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Will Silva start tomorrow?

    1. Wag the Drog
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Yes.

    2. Notorious
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Should start, yes.

  20. Jimbo123
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Chambers ---> Mangala for a hit?

    Or play Naylor?

    1. Jeremiah
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Naylor.

    2. Wag the Drog
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Play Naylor.

  21. Notorious
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Bony>Benteke for a hit? Yay or nay?

    I know that I'm still mad at Bony for yesterday's captain fail but Tekkers has two amazing home fixtures while Bony has two away games and then I'd have to sell him anyway. Your thoughts? Thanks in advance.

    1. Jeremiah
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      For a hit id risky but it could well pay off.

      Benteke hasnt been firing as of yet but i say go for it.

    2. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      No. Sunderland is still decent side at defending. Max 1 goal for Benteke

  22. Koflok
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    1 FT

    a) Eriksen to Silva (Bony 1st bench)

    or

    b) Bony to Benteke (Eriksen / Downing 1st bench)

    1. Notorious
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      B

    2. HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      B

  23. only2
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Think so

    1. deshawn7

      Good team.

    2. deshawn7
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      you got 2 Hamers? sounds decent for short term but in the long run you gotta beef up the defence a little, looks a tad weak

    3. Boss Hogg
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Stop.
      Hammer time.

    4. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Looks good. I don't think you'll get much from Bruce or Hamer, but you don't have many options. I assume you've already used your FT? If not, I'd probably look to upgrade Bruce.

        Thanks brother

    2. HurriKane

      Another siggy haul incoming

    3. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Hutton ahead of Dummet. I don't think Clichy will start, but is unlikely to get a cameo anyway, so you might as well start him.

  27. deshawn7

    So bony going to drop in price tonight, amazing how quickly a player falls out of favour with the general public.

  30. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Rooney, Boyd & Baines > Austin, Silva & Zabs for a hit?

    About to pull the trigger....

    1. Jeremiah
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Go for it.

      Reckon Zabs will start?

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah
