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.

    If you take a hit, do you always captain one of the players that you bring in?

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Crap top of the page. Soz.

      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      no. i bring in a player that i think will do better than those that i have..but does not mean captaining

  2. Owd Big 'Ed
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    I have two free transfers. Thinking Baines --> Zabaleta and Bony --> Benteke, but what do you think?

    Fabianski, Pantilimon

    Costa, Bony*, Austin

    Repost:

    Yaya and Chambers -----> Silva and Terry

    For free! Do it to help upgrade Chambers? Got to get rid of Yaya in a couple of GWs anyway.

    1. The ghost of a Pug's g…
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Yes

    2. The Iron Tulip
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Yep!

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

      Yes

    4. Sunny 😎
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Yes because it help fund the Terry move

  11. Louis
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Baines & Eriksen to Mangala & Silva for free. Yes or No?

    1. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      No

    2. Sunny 😎
      • 13 Years

      No

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

        Any reason why?

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

          Eriksen is doing well. Do you have any other midfielders you could swap for Silva?

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

            I could do Siggy to Nasri... Want to keep Fab and Sanchez.

    3. Whazza

    Afternoon all!

    Looking good? 🙂

    Panti
    Zaba Azpi Hutton

    Bony Moore Yun

    1. royals forever
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Swap Kane with Bony

      1. Jaffalicious! #SomosCubanos
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        I prefer the player in form who has the home fixture 😉

    2. The ghost of a Pug's g…
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Whose your sub keeper?

      Fancy 1 player at least to be rotated (I have clichy ffs) so make sure your bench is in the right order. Replace yun when possible. Saylor is viable. Nice strong midfield.

      1. Jaffalicious! #SomosCubanos
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Cheers Pug. Sub keeper is McCarthy so irrelevant. I'll look to replace Yun/Moore in the coming weeks. Captain choice?

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

      Very strong looking. Treble City means a good score for you this week.

  14. royals forever
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    After 2 bad weeks I really need you guys help on what to do with this team

    De Gea Forster

    Cresswell Vertongen Clyne Koncesky Naylor

    Hazard Sanchez Siggy Fer Song

    Costa Bony Ings

    2FT 0.8 ITB

    I was thinking of doing Bony, Siggy Ings > Austin, Kane, Silva (-4)

    But any other ideas would be welcome cos I'm in a downward spiral at the mo

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I like it but do you have to lose siggy? Id rather lose fer or song

    2. Jaffalicious! #SomosCubanos
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Good moves

  15. Dempsey
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Opinions needed chaps!

    Hart

    Baines - Azpi - Hutton (Yun, Wisdom)

    Sterling - Hazard - Sanchez - Silva (boyd)

    Costa - sakho - Austin

    0.3 ITB 1FT

    Is it time to ship out baines?? is sakho a sure starter against arsenal?

  16. Redranger
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    de Gea (Gilks)
    Zaba, Azpi and Naylor. (Yun, McShane)
    Sanchez, Hazard, Siggy, Eriksen. (Boyd)
    Bony, Austin, Costa.

    2 FT, 1m in the bank.

    Should I get rid of Bony this week for Kane, or Bony > Kane and Siggy > Silva?

  17. AH 🙂
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Am I daft to consider getting Jelavic (Punty) ? His scoring stats look fantasic , and leciester next , ??

    1. Sunny 😎
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      But will he start?

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

    Gotta make a defensive transfer as I'll be left with two players at the back otherwise, so thinking Yun/Bartley to Hutton. Good/bad idea?

    Foster - Krul

    Terry - Demi - Bartley - Chester - Yun

    Hazard - Eriksen - Sanchez - Bolasie - Siggy

    Rooney - Austin - Pelle

    No City cover is making me v v nervous. But I've got just one free transfer.

    1. Jaffalicious! #SomosCubanos
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Sounds decent. Thoughts above please? 🙂

  23. Denis Tueart on the wing
    • 16 Years
