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.

    I've 2 FTs & I want Benteke & Silva.

    i'm thinking Bony, Siggy & Clyne out for Benteke, Silva & Saylor for a 4 point hit. sound good? i'm reluctant to lose siggy & bony tbh

    my team at present:
    Guzan (Elliot)
    Baines, Hutton, Wisdom (Clyne, Naylor)
    Cesc, Hazard, Yaya, Siggy (Boyd)
    Costa, Austin, Bony

    1. deshawn7

      get silva in this week and benteke next. sub out clyne/baines for the cash to get silva in, that's what i would do if i had 2FT

  2. Ten Season Wonder
    • 12 Years

    Two things please guys...

    1). When is the 'scout picks' team updated?

    2). is Eriksen (OUT) > Sterling (IN) worth it?

    1. Oi! Shadders!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      1. Tomorrow, I'd expect.

    2. Method man
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Later on today, I think

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

    I've got Foster and Krul as my keepers.

    Is it worth using my FT to do Green for Krul this week?
    Or just ride it out with Foster for now?

  4. AS Ladzio
    • 11 Years

    Buzzing after yesterday's game. Went from over 1000 to 77 in the world! Thank you Wazza

    1. @ocprodigy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Why isn't your team linked?

      1. AS Ladzio
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        It is?!

  5. Garfield1001
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Not sure about the Rooney part

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

    DEF: Clichy Colocini Dummett Wisdom (who to bench?... Wisdom?)

    MID: Fabregas Silva Hazard Downing Yaya (Silva ot Yaya...(C))?

    ATT: Costa Kane (Sakho benched)

    I'm not thinking of captaining Costa because SOU have great defence.

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

    I rage transfered out Baines, Chambers and Bony last night for Zabaleta, Terry and Kane for a minus 4. Good idea or not?

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

      Solid moves, should pay off.

    2. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Ive heard of much much worse

    3. @ocprodigy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Probably a bad idea.

    4. Just A Wooden Spoon
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Irrelevant now that you've done them 😆

  8. Garfield1001
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Bench one of this lot:-

    Hazard (sot)
    Sanchez (whm)
    Siggy (liv)
    Downing (ARS)
    Costa (sot)

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

      Siggy

    2. Ten Season Wonder
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      tough but probably Downing even though he's at home

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

        siggy won't get anything

  9. Frank Black
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Should i play Cresswell against Arsenal, Wisdom against Stoke or Dummett against Everton?

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

      Wisdom

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

      Wisdom, IMO.

    3. Ten Season Wonder
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Dummett (has home advantage)

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

    Clyne & Bony > Zabs & Benteke for free.

    Good moves?

    1. Ten Season Wonder
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Benteke is a risk but great if it pays off. had an awful knee injury

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

      look good to me

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

    for the next 2 games only:

    A) Chambers -> Azpi
    B) Chambers -> Skrtel

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

      A

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

      b

    3. AS Ladzio
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      B

    4. Ten Season Wonder
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      B (more attacking threat)

    5. Je suis le chat
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      B) I have Azpi and reckon he'll get a rest.

  12. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    So, is everyone going for Austin, Silva or Yaya as their captain this week?

    I can completely see the appeal - decent form and fixtures.

    But, are we overlooking Sanchez a little here?

    With Giroud out I expect him to start up front (so OOP) and his points, threat and assist potential per game is unrivaled.

    I think he could be the one.

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

      That is an excellent shout.

    2. @ocprodigy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      City home vs Burnley...

    3. Top 210 Club
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Could be a good shout, But Austin against a team in disarray looks a little more tastier 😉

    4. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      yep, good option. Slightly riskier option of being benched? But as you said with giroud out should start

      Him, benteke, Bojan or Papiss cisse (if he starts) would be my other under the radar picks for captaincy

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

      He is a solid pick but I think Welbz will start up front which doesn't mean Alexis can't score, of course. I see us struggling against West Ham, 1-2 goals max while QPR and City can easily score 3+.

    6. Method man
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Away to west ham, not an easy fixture for the gunners!

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

        Arsenal have a great record v hammers though

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

    Have 2FT and 0.5m

    panti --- foster
    clichy terry naylor -- chester* yun*.....def is fahked for next gw esp with clichy rested
    hazard sanchez yaya eriksen -- siggy
    austin kane rooney

    A: yun >> hutton and carry over FT.. will still end up having naylor starting with clichy rested
    B: yun + eriksen >> 4.2m def (cameron/saylor) + sterling
    C: yun + chester >> saylor + caulker
    D: chester + eriksen >> caulker + sterling
    E: yun + eriksen >> baines + walters
    F: yun + eriksen >> skrtl + downing
    G: yun + siggy >> hutton + downing...loose 0.4m on siggy but he has 5 crap fix

    Lots of options provided i know

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

    Draft league decision:

    A.) start Tadic (CHE)

    Or

    B.) start Walcott (whm)

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

      A, Wally wont start.

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

        Could gt 30mins though?

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

      Walcott might finally get some minutes off the bench against West Ham... I'd probably go for him.

      Tadic will probably get 2 points, Walcott at least has a chance of goals. He has a great record against West Ham as well.

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

        lack of playing time says he doesn't get many points tomorrow

  15. the shadowz
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Forster (Gilks)
    Baines Waselawski Chambers Cahill O'shea
    Silva Eriksen Oscar Marney Siggy
    Kane lukaku Costa
    0.9m and 1 FT

    What transfers should I do?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Would look at Lukaku and the midfield

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

        And the defence,..... :/

    2. Method man
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      You need your wc!

  16. Coffee
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Fabianski, Siggy, RvP -> Hart, Silva, Benteke

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

    Keith Millen took charge when holloway, pulis and now warnock sacked.

    1. XhakaCan
      • 11 Years

    Costa (sou)

    Cheers

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

      One of the Spurs

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

      Tough one. Maybe even Cazorla.

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

      Wow, that's what I call a benching dilemma. I'd say Downing but with Arsenal's defence and his form it is a big risk.

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

      Downing

    5. Method man
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Downing

    6. John Nerdelbaum

      caz

  26. Steevo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Guzan (Elliot)
    Hutton Zabaleta Vergini (Naylor Moore)
    Yaya(VC) Sanchez Hazard Siggy (Boyd)
    Austin(C) Rooney Costa

    Anything to be done here? Worth starting Moore ahead of Vergini?

  27. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    wish I could fit Bojan in my team, can see him doing v well next 2

    cisse against an everton defence potentially without Howard and Jagielka is also tempting but no assurance of starts puts me off

    1. Je suis le chat
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I stupidly benched Bojan yesterday. Now hes on penos he'll be a starter. BAP magnet.

  28. kennethrhcp
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    I can't bring myself to sell Baines... anyone else slow to shift him?

    1. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      yesterday was enough ... pulled the trigger last night > Zaba

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      what is the reason you don't want to sell?

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

        fear of a haul... he's done me good every year

        1. John Nerdelbaum
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

          If it happens it happens. Since 22 Nov he's got 8 points

    3. John Nerdelbaum
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Had him for 3 weeks and that's enough

    4. Method man
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Shifted him out a few weeks back, he's having a shocker this season!

    5. Ten Season Wonder
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      got him in GW11 (when he scored against Sunderland)... has done nothing since. He has ruined my team... yet i still find myself with him!!!

  29. Coffee
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Benteke or Rooney?

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

      Benteke for the next 3 games then switch to Rooney.

    2. Method man
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Benteke

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

    Planning on Bony -> Benteke

    But not owning Silva really scares me.

    Eriksen -> Silva worth a hit?

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

      I'd say so for the next few weeks mate

    2. Method man
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Yes IMO, 2 home games burnley and Sunderland, no brainer really! Spurs have utd then Chelsea
