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.

  4. afazeli85

    Can't decide on whether to bench Kane (MNU) or Siggy (liv)

    1. Every Dog Has Its Day
      • 11 Years

    2. trimmtrabb
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      11 years, 3 months ago

      Siggy benched

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

      siggy is a no brainer, unless kane not starting of course

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

      Siggy

    5. Trust John

        1. Jax
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          or not eligible to play

    1. Skipdipper
      • 14 Years

      Neither

      1. chrisjdgrady
        • 12 Years

        This

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

        Only 3 defenders available this week though (Duff injured and Chester suspended).
        Worried I'll be down to 10 if Azpi gets rotated

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

          Really doubt he'll get rotated lose someone else so you have him plus three others

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

    2. chrisjdgrady

    5. Shifty
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Silva not essential but hard to ignore his personal form and fixtures at the moment, not to mention City's form.

  9. Ibralicious
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Pardon the repost,
    Merry Christmas lads, couple of doubts:

    1. Start Guzan-SUN(H) or Pantilimon-AVL (A)
    2.Bench who from these 3: Sigurdsson-LIV(A), Kane-MUN(H) or Fabregas-SOU(A)

    Thanks!

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

      Guzan
      Sig

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

      Guzan and Siggy

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

    Looking good?

    Panti
    Zaba Azpi Hutton
    Sanchez Fabregas Hazard Yaya Silva
    Austin Kane

    Bony Moore Yun

    Captain choice?

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

      I would bench Kane instead of Bony but that just me.

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

        Austin for captain.

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

          How come? Kane is in form and has a home fixture. There is a good chance that Bony doesn't start as Gomis may play.

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

            Thanks btw! Was thinking Austin (C) too 🙂

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

            I think Bony is better player and it is still a Liverpool defence.

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

        ^ this

    2. Shifty

      Nice side. Austin perhaps.

      1. Jaffalicious! #SomosCubanos

        Cheers Shifty! You all set?

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

    Repost,

    Thoughts on Welbeck?

    Keep until January WC

    Or FT to Benteke,

    Full team

    Foster (Elliot)

    Zabaleta Azplicueta Clyne (chambers yun)

    Hazard Sigurdsson Silva Eriksen (Boyd)

    Costa Rooney Welbeck

    1FT and 0.9

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

      Giroud suspension is obviously good news and you don't have Sanchez there to cover but I would still go to Benteke

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

        +1

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

          Cheers both, I was all set to do it, and then the Giroud red made me think Welbeck will go back to Central striker, but still Benteke has better fixtures, and probably better form too

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

            Welle could bite you 😉

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

              There's always a risk

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

    Would it be madness to do Yun and Eriksen to Steven Taylor and Silva for a hit? Have to make the defensive transfer; just two fit and playing DEFs right now.

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

      Why lose Eriksen??

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

        I know, it's a tough call. Feel like being without Silva or Yaya could hurt me big time in the next two GWs.

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

          Yeah I think city attacker is necessary for sure. Silva always explodes then goes quiet i don't like owning him but maybe he's on a good run that will last. Tough call!

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

            Had him before the injury weeks ago. Very frustrating player.

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

      Just about worth it i think

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

        Think so too. Eriksen's points hauls recently is making this a very tough one, though.

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

      Not madness could pay off well.

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

        Cheers for the response, let's hope it will.

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

      I'd get a decent defender instead with no hit.

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

        Yeah, that thought has crossed my mind. But, will a lack of any City coverage cause more harm than a poor defender?

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

      Eriksen is in good form, no need to get rid.

      Taylor isn't 100% nailed either I don't think

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

        Right, didn't know Taylor wasn't nailed on. On the Eriksen point, do you reckon he'll hold his own on points against Silva in the next two GWs?

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

          Hard to call, if I was a betting man I'd say Silva would shade it, but Eriksen is more than capable, and on set pieces, luckily I have both so don't have the stress!

  13. You've got red on you.

    Who's the better captain choice folks?

    Austin
    Yaya

    I can see City ripping Burnley up but Austin's scoring for fun at the minute but how long will that last?!

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

      I've got Austin (c) and Yaya (vc)

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

        Ditto.

    2. Sunny 😎
      • 13 Years

      Austin.

  15. Jimbo123
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    A.) play Naylor (liv) Or chambers

    or B.) Chambers ---> Kolarov/skrtel/ mangala (-4)

  16. Yaya Toure's Birthday …
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Need a new defender, 6.2 available. Already have Zabaleta, but might double up Man City, seeing as it's only for next 3/4 fixtures until WC.

    Clichy, DeMichelis or Mangala? Or possibly Skrtel?

    1. Yaya Toure's Birthday …
      • 15 Years

    Forster (Gilks)

    Baines Clyne Chambers Dumett Wisdom

    Yaya Sanchez Hazard Downing Siggy

    Austin Sakho Costa

    0.5m and 2 FT

    Will captain Austin

    Is offloading Chambers the priority now? Struggling with choosing a decent replacement

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

      Chambers + Yaya to Terry + Silva??

      1. Citizen kano

    Why is everyone ditching Siggy?

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

      Idle hands

    2. The Nuttmxn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      1. Him without Bony maybe like Queen without Freddie.
      2. Swansea create next to nothing for large amount of games.

  21. Whazza
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Bony worth keeping? Worried Gomis will get game time to be match fit for when Bony leaves.

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

      Hmmm, hadn't considered this! Surely Monk will still want to win so will give Bony the time?

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

        Someone posted Monk had said this is the case. A bit weird that Bony was rested the 20th, when there's games 26,29 and 1st Jan.. Gomis will probably start one of the games.

    Don't think I can ignore Silva. Thoughts on RVP, Boyd, Yun > Kane, Silva, Zabaleta (-4). Probably costs me my PP cup tie, as my opponent already has these without the -4, but think it could pay off in terms of points.

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

      I did RVP and Boyd to Benteke and silva. Not sure its ever worth the -4 for a defender

      1. mr messi
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        I'm thinking of the same moves as you.

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

        Hmm. Good point. Think City are good for 2 clean sheets in the next 2 though. Food for thought.

  23. Jar Jar Winks
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Bony and Siggy to Austin and Sterling

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

      Good move

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

      Ay

  24. The Nuttmxn
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Put my CV into Crystal Palace with all my Championship Manager and Fifa manager mode achievements, think I'm in with a chance lads and ladies 😉

  25. Tom Tom
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Is Haz to Silva, siggy to sterling and Bony to Austin worth -8?

    1. Jar Jar Winks
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      just do siggy and bony

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

      -8 with wildcard incoming. No.

    McC, Wisdom Siggy Dummett

    Bench in the right order? 🙂

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

      No. Surely swap siggy as 1st sub and wisdom 2nd

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

      Correct imo. 🙂

    3. La Roja
      • 14 Years

      Missing a player?

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

    Which transfer is better?
    A) Azpi > Terry
    B) Heaton > Guzan

    1. Jar Jar Winks
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      A is sideways, B imo

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

      A! I have a felling Cesar will be rested

  28. tokara
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Should I start siggy or Costa?

    1. Jar Jar Winks
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      costa of course

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

      COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSTA

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

      How have you got yourself into a position where benching Costa is a question?

      1. money face bandwagon
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        it could be if u have a strong front 8.

  29. SweeSwee

    Anyone else get annoyed when one of your more obscure players gets a massive score and then everyone suddenly has your player?

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Massively.

    2. Sunny 😎
      • 13 Years

      Happy to ride the price rises 🙂

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

      No, price rise ahoy I say.

    4. Poseidon. Not arrogant, jus…
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      No

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

      Porbably everyone. But that normal if your player is a good pick. be happy with points from one or two matches before everyone got him...

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

      Sometimes. I have some chap in my sixth form league copying all my transfers and my captaincy!

      1. Caesar, Hot Mustache
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        ah! my friend does this to me too. can be frustrating. I love this game more than he does

  30. JaydenLFC87
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Looks like Haz is going to get a rest tomorow, in this case then should I go Haz>Silva FT?? Then look to get Haz back in after the tot away game

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

      Does it?

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

      How do you know Hazard will be rested?

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

        He doesn't. it's BS

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

        Scaremongering

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

      Oh really? Just link me one source saying that he'll get a rest...
