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.

    Who's nailed out of Demu/Mangala lads?

    1. HamezMace
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I'd say mangala and kompany are the pairing of choice for city

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

        unfortunately I would have to agree. Have Demi myself though

    2. The Nuttmxn

    6. World XI
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Player and fixtures appeal. Team does not. That said I will likely get him in.

  10. Beans on Toast

    Afternoon everyone!

    Hope you all had a good xmas

    Baines to Kolarov a good idea, or perhaps Terry or someone else?

    Also, is Milner likely to start?

    Cheers!

    1. Geoff
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I'd keep Terry, personally. Not hot on Kolarov, maybe Zab instead

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

        im capping Kol but Baines to zab way better simply case Kol likely to only start one more game this year

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

        Cheers mate. I actually meant who to swap Baines for, with Terry being an option. Do you reckon Terry or Zab?

        1. Geoff
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          oh I see. Zabaleta then. Will start the next two which look like points for sure

          1. Richard_b
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            Zaba is definitely a good shout. Might just do that! Thanks!

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

        Actually bought him last week for Sakho, unlucky not to get a haul yday it seems

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

          I did too fir Giroud rather than the obvious Austin.
          Cant captain him though not when i have Sir Aleks among my ranks 🙂

        2. JK - Cønt ⭐
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Wanted to do that move but didn't have enough. That's why I saved the transfer to allow me to free up the cash

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

          I got Rooney(Aguero) a while back and he repaid me in full yesterday,
          I'm thinking go ditching for Tekkers/Kane- would you?
          (Costa/Austin)

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

            Wouldn't ditch Rooney, as fixtures aren't bad from an attacking perspective and United more reliable than Villa. But if i was getting someone for the next two, it would be Benteke over Kane 100%

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

              Fair enough Demi I've already been advised to keep Wayne.
              It's just I've 2 frees to burn!!!

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

                Use one this week, 2 frees next week. Maybe Rooney > Benteke and then look at getting him back after

                Or strengthen defence

                1. HVT
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Looks like Benteke has helped many FPL managers to win their league in previous seasons : - )

    Everyone seems to be assuming Siggy will blank at Anfield, Thank to Giroud im forced to play him (unless take a hit) maybe it could be a good differential 😉

      Doubt it, couple of inches of snow is headline news in the UK, be surprised if any games are off though

        heard it was bad in spots but probably wouldn't affect public transport

    Why all the Tekkers love? He not done much and looked tired yesterday.. I think fixtures are irrelevant in this case, he just too inconsistent like Lukaku

    Bench Siggy or Cresswell? Can see both causing problems.
