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

        Not sure yet, could go for Yaya

      2. Ross Geller
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        I'll probably go Yaya(c) Austin(vc). Also have Silva...

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

      Looks good! Thoughts on mine?

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

        Where is it?

        1. Jaffalicious! #SomosCubanos
          • 12 Years

      GTG. What was the transfer?

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

        Gru and Yun out

        JT kane in

      2. Ross Geller
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Nice transfers. Good luck!

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

    Bentekke or Kane?

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

      Kane

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

      Neither imo

      But Benteke out of the two

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

        Your optimum, trio right now so Sunny?

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

          Austin, Costa, Rvp/Roon - expensive but effective and consistent

          Don't trust Villa's attack enough to get Benteke. Kane would be a good choice but his next two fixtures put me off.

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

            Fair enough S, you stick so with my Costa/Rooney/Austin trio?
            Was gonna ditch Rooney for one of the above?

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

      I've gone for Kane. It's 50/50, go with ur gut

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

      Kane

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

      Kane

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

      Mmm a lotta love for Kane over Tekkers even with those fixtures.

    7. Ross Geller
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Short term till end of January and/or WC... Benteke

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

      Tekkers for me, but depends on what you do with the spare money really...

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

    Is this front 8 good enough FTW?

    Yaya | Alexis | Hazard | Downing | Siggy
    Costa | Austin | Kane

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

      I have silva instead of yaya as only difference so I hope so!

  6. mipola

    Only 6 teams featuring in my starting 11 😯

  7. Trust John

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

        Just seems dull and obvious to bandwagon jump...

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

          Mind your rank john, sometimes the dull and obvious is the way to go.

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

      Yes

    3. Ross Geller
      • 16 Years

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

    Who is your GW19 captain?

    Yaya the troll again for the third week running for me

    1. SW6
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      It's a secret

    2. Trust John
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Who dare ignore Austin?

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

      Stone Cold Steve Austin!!

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

      Austin, with Yaya(vc)

    5. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Stone cold.

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

      Stone cold

    7. Ross Geller
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Yaya(c), Austin(vc) as it stands (for now)

  9. PGR
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    A) Azpi to Zaba
    B) Chester to Clyne

    Worried about Azpi getting rotated and Zaba getting a monster score

  10. LMF
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    For me either Roo or Hazard will be captain

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

    Most pressing issues? WCing after next 2 games so only short term.

    Guzan
    Ivan*, Baines, Bruce

    Heaton (Mannone)

    I have no City cover and won't take a hit to get Silva

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

      B! Don't get rid of Ivan

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

        Why not? Does anyone expect much returns from next 2 games?

  13. S.Kuqi

    Cracked it.

    Chambers + Yaya -> Zab + Silva.

    2FTs used and all set for when Yaya disappears.

    Guzan
    Baines, Zab, Azpi
    Fab, Sanchez, Silva, Downing

    Krul, Boyd, Hutton, Chester

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

      Yaya out seems risky. I'll wait until gw 21.

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

        Chambers to Zab is otherwise not possible.

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

      He hasn't gone yet though

    3. You've got red on you.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I'm doing the same but Teery instead of Zaba. Yaya is off to ACON soon anyway and Chambers needs to go.

  16. citizen_kane
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    With SWA, LEI, sun and avl next four, I would very much like to transfer in a nailed on Liverpool defender. They have kept clean sheets in recent games against Burnley, Stoke and Sunderland, and seem more reliable at the back.

    Picking the right one seems impossible, though. Will Rodgers keep the 3-4-3 with Toure, Skrtel and Sakho? Toure only played 45 minutes yesterday and was replaced by Can who reportedly did his stuff very well. If Rodgers goes back to 4-4-2 with Maquillo and Moreno as fullbacks, who will play centre half? Skrtel seems the only secure option, but at 5.8 doesn't seem worth it. Will Toure play, even though he leaves for ACON soon? Will Sakho retain his place, even though Toure has been the preferred option lately? Will Can get a run out, as his introduction at Turf Moor was one of the turning points of the game?

    And are clean sheets even reliable with a critical GK situation? A Liverpool defensive pick looks good on paper, but it seems too difficult to pick the right one. I think I'll avoid unless convinced otherwise.

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

      I would go for Skrtel 🙂

    2. Bumbaclot
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      im an lfc fan and can assure you sakho is nailed on

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

        Are you sure about that?

    3. Ross Geller
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      They will concede in SWA and sun games...

    4. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I have Toure and I'm guessing that Sakho is favoured over him, given Toure's withdrawal. I'm assuming Burnley sat back and were difficult to break down, hence the change. I'd also expect they will go back to the three centre backs for tomorrow

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

        Thanks!

  17. Je suis le chat
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Should I purchase a) Silva for Erik or b) Zab for Chambers? Have a good defence. Thanks.

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

      b

    2. Gooner97
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      B

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

      Erik, is that Eriksen or Lamela?

      B, in any case.

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

      B

    5. Skipdipper
      • 14 Years

      1. Je suis le chat

        Thanks guys, Zab it is then. Have big Yaya so covered there. Big fan of Eriksen so happy to keep him.

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

    {2FT} Baines + Siggy --> Kolarov + Benteke WITH £2.7m ITB ?

    Yay OR Nay ?

    Or is Silva ''Essential'' ?

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

      I fancy Kolarov to score big points tommorow ......... I can get JT but two away fixtures to come !

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

      Yay 🙂

    3. Trust John
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Thinking of losing Baines and Siggy myself. Lining up Zaba not Kolarov and Silva as replacements.

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

        I have Zaba already 🙂 🙂

        1. Rhinos

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

      Def + Mid --> Def + For?

      Is there a 3rd part to the t/fer?

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

    Is Benteke still definitely on pens? I think that will swing my choice if so.

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

      He is.

    2. AH 🙂
      • 11 Years

      Sunderland are a dirty team also ....

      1. World XI

  21. Iwantmorepointsthanks
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Last four GWs:
    Terry: 39 points
    Azpi: 14 (was rested once)

    especially interesting because I got Azpi instead of Terry back then :/

    1. afazeli85
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Kept JT since GW1, even withstanding an own goal, lack of early clean sheets and a 0.2 price drop.

      Nice to see faith rewarded 😉

      1. Eoin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years

        Same. High five.

      1. Iwantmorepointsthanks
        • 12 Years

        I do though

  22. Rinseboy

    Who to bench Downing or Kane?

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

      Downing in my opinion

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

      Downing

    3. Trust John
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Downing. Man U still can't really defend.

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

        The DDG factor though

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

      Same dilemma with siggy in mix too

      1. Iwantmorepointsthanks
