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.

    11 years, 2 months ago

    Foster
    Huttonm Terry, O'Shea
    Fabregas, Eriksen, Silva, Toure
    Rooney, Bony, Austin
    Heaton, Taylor, Boyd, Yun

    1M in the bank. 1 FT,

    Was considering doing Erikson > Sterling? Maybe even Bony > Benteke?

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

      I would hold steady.

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

      Erikson seems fine, worst fixtures but on set pieces and a better finisher.
      Benteke in seems good though.

    3. Joggers Nipple
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      The benteke one only imo

    4. Every Dog Has Its Day

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

      @mods, any idea on how to claim the free bets?

  5. Sky4625
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Who should i take off to bring in austin,
    Costa or rooneh?
    Am edging towards rooney atm

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

      yep has to be Rooney.

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

      I'd go with Rooney. He won't be getting as many goals for his CM position.

      1. Sky4625
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Yh dont think hel push forward as much because spurs away isnt the same as neecastle at home

  6. No Pirlo No Party
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    What do I do with these 2FT?!?

    Fabianski
    Baines - Hutton - Zabaleta
    Hazard - Fabregas - Sigurdsson - Downing
    Costa - Rooney - Austin (c)

    Gilks - Boyd - Hutton - Clyne

    Rooney + Boyd ---> Silva + Kane?

  7. Djerbil
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Bench:
    A) Siggy or
    B) Downing

    1. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Probably A

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

      Siggy

    3. Nelson Vivas Fan Club
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      It should be an own article about that question.
      I got the same dilemma. Guess I'll end up flipping a coin

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

      A.

  8. The Count of Monte Cristo
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Who would you start? Already starting Baines and Cahill...

    A) Wisdom
    B) Naylor
    C) Dummett

    On A atm...

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

      A

  9. Kno
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    crazy to consider sakho as chambers replacement? 5.4 is the max I can spend. Guess debuchy could be a option as well

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

      Rodgers will drop Sakho on first occasion. You've been warned

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

        duely noted, I am a bit wary of liverpool defense in general after some bad times with moreno earlier in the season.

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

      Yes. If you saw highlights form yesterdays match they were very very lucky not to concede. Burnley were just poor at finishing

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

        cheers, guess its back to the drawing board.

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

          What is your defence? It's a shame you don't have money for city or chelsea defence. Villa looks good for next 3/4 games. and cheap too 🙂

  10. Shifty
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Benching dilemma here folks

    Guzan
    Terry Hutton Clyne
    Hazard Sanchez(vc) Silva Downing (Sigurdsson)
    Costa Austin(c) (Bony)

    Subs: Wisdom, chambers

    Play Bony or Sigurdsson?

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

      Bony. Penalties swing it for me

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

      Play bony. Looks good

  11. stephenl15
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Best Giroud replacement?

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

      Popular opinion seems to be Benteke if you already have Austin and Costa.

    2. Woy
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      tekkers

    3. SW6
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Austin

    4. Nelson Vivas Fan Club
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

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

      Who are your other 2 strikers?

      1. stephenl15
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Austin and Bony. Already have 3 Villa 🙁

    6. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Kane

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

      Falcao?

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

    Question 1
    Coloccini or Caulker
    Both tasty fixtures
    Qpr has a worse defence but caulker can score

    Question 2
    Siggy+Baines->Silva+ Coloccini/Caulker
    Yay or Nay?

    Feels hard not to be exposed to silva for the next two games

  13. CelticBhoy1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    • 13 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    I guess Bony needs to go. Started yesterday so won't start both 29th and 1st Jan. Hello Tekkers 😎

    1. Mr. Grv
      • 11 Years

        1. Ser Football 42
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

          1. Sky4625
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 2 months ago

            His form last 2 game and he plays the just behind the striker
            Also got an easy fixture

  18. AH 🙂
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

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

    Yay OR Nay ?
    Or is Silva ''Essential''

    1. Nelson Vivas Fan Club
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Stop asking the same question over and over again!

  19. anish10
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Hows my team

    1FT 0.2 ITB

    Hart
    Zab Azpi Chambers
    Sanchez Downing Hazard Silva
    Rooney Costa Austin

    Elliot/Boyd/Wisdom/Yun

    Thinking chambers > hutton or save?

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

      Chambers must go. Hutton is a good replacement

  20. Lanley Staurel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Baines and Siggy to Hutton and Silva for -4.

    Yay or nay?

    1. anish10
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Yay

    2. deshawn7
      • 11 Years

      Yayy

  21. Sky4625
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Who should i take off to bring austin in my team?
    Rooneh or costa?
    Atm edging to take rooney off

    1. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Neither

      1. Sky4625
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Austingot 3 hone fixtures next 4 games i expect him to bag alot of points.
        Rooney playing cm and wont attack as much against spurs because they a decent side and they need him in midfield

        1. GreennRed
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

          Newcastle were supposed to be a decent side to. Rooney could play anywhere, you're right, but he's always good for a few points,

          1. Sky4625
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 2 months ago

            Home fixtures he has a lot more license to go forward
            Look at the villa game he didnt push up at all because we need him in midfield to defend against the counter

  22. andres
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Chambers, bony => skrtel/city def, tekke ??

    Already have zab

  23. Aussie_Toon_Lad
    • 12 Years

    Who's the best villa defensive cover? Hutton or vlaar?

    1. XhakaCan
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Hutton

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

      Hutton probaby

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

      Huttinho

    4. Aussie_Toon_Lad
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Any reason behind these thoughts?

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

    Which combo is better until mid/end january:

    1. Alexis and Kane
    2. Siggy and Rooney
    3. Eriksen and Benteke
    4. Mata and Benteke
    5. Gerrard and Lukaku
    6. Chadli and Costa

    1. Every Dog Has Its Day

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

      1st if you don't own alexis... What bothers me is that Kane have a bit dificult fixtures for the next few games. Would go with Benteke and another one. Not sure if Mata is nailed when ADM returns

  27. Marouane Fellatio
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Can I get a RMT?

    Guzan (Elliot)
    Azpilicueta Sakho Bruce (Coloccini, Wisdom)
    Sanchez Yaya Hazard Silva (Jones)
    Costa Benteke Austin

  28. Louis
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Is Eriksen to Silva a good move?

    Silva is looking essential for the next GWs and Eriksen's fixtures are turning.

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

      yes id say so

    2. Gooner97
      • 12 Years

      Yes

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

    Is milner a reasonable pick for -4? (boyd > Milner)

    Gives me

    Fabianski
    Hutton Clyne Zabaleta
    Milner Yaya Sanchez Hazard
    Austin Costa Benteke

    Panti - Siggy Wisdom Bertrand

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

      No. To much short term and punty for me

    2. Nelson Vivas Fan Club
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      No, I'd rather go for Siggy
