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.

    Quick vote time...

    A - Siggy and Clyne out - Silva and Hutton in

    B - Siggy and Baines out - Silva and Zaba in

    C - both look bad moves

    Already have Yaya?

      B, maybe Sterling instead of Silva if you do not already have him

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

    a) RVP to Rooney or Carroll

    b) Save

  4. Black Knights
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Was all set on removing Baines and Mirallas, but I see their game is televised. Was gonna do Baines, Mirallas and Giroud to 6m def, Silva, Benteke for -4.

    Is it worth it?

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

      Yeah. Mirallas loves the cameras 😉

      1. Black Knights
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        That's what I'm worried about. Will be hard to watch Everton without them both, but Silva was appealing. Rest of team is:

        Guzan, Hamer

        Terry, Baines, Hutton (Chambers, Naylor)

        Mirallas, Yaya, Downing, Hazard, Siggy

        Costa, Austin (Giroud)

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

    G2G?

    pantili ( krul )
    azpi, touré, wisdom ( dummett, chambers )
    haz, sanchez, silva(vc), sterling ( downing )
    kane, austin (c), costa

    Not sure about my captain Austin he has played two full matches in the last two whereas Silva has two times more or less 60 min

  6. King Kohli
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Krul Guzan
    Baines Bertrand N.Taylor Yun Moore
    Eriksen Yaya Hazard Sanchez Boyd
    giroud Bony Austin

    1 Ft 1m left
    Giroud + yun to
    A) bojan+ zabaleta
    B) benteke + Hutton or 5.3 def

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

      A

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

      I'd go B actually, although not sure of the best 5m defender out there

  7. Mr Sarcastic
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Play Azpli or Caulker?

    Yes, I am serious.

    Afraid that Azpli benched and comes in for 1pointer.

    1. John Nerdelbaum
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Azpi

  8. Just A Wooden Spoon
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    If jovetic is back tomorrow do we expect that to dent Silva potential returns?

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      That's possible, yes

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

      Well he's never gonna carry on at 11ppg anyway so his returns will definitely decrease

    3. Captain Shirokov
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      definitely

      1. Just A Wooden Spoon
        • 16 Years

        Bugger 😆

    2. HamezMace
      • 11 Years

  14. money face bandwagon
    • 12 Years

    as a sterling owner i m happy that sterling is still an under the radar option.

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

      me too, brought him in last gameweek for nasri, even had him as captain at 11.28am but bottled it

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

      owned by 38% not under the radar

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

    Is Mirallas out for tomorrow?

    1. Black Knights
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      He played yesterday. Why do you ask? The flag?

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

        I just heard someone here say something of the sort yday

        1. Black Knights
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          I'm trying to decide if I should take him out. Maybe he won't be fit enough after his injuries.

        2. Sardines in the Sea
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          He got a knock during the game . Not sure on his status

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

            Was he subbed off coz of the knock?

    2. iCon

  16. Rambo Motin
    • 13 Years

    1. Jebiga
      • 14 Years

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

      Both swans will start after a recent rest, Ivan the only slight risk, but will probably play

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

    Can someone tell me the difference between points chasing, and getting in a player on the cusp of a run of form?

    1. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Judgment

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

        I was thinking about a few players when people bring out the points chasing argument, sure Austin, and Kane were under this bracket once, just wondered if people have any logic for this argument

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

      Normally depends on who the player is and how they've been playing.

      Getting Mane would be points chasing, Silva the latter

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

        So silva because he has a history of decent returns, and an international player..etc.

        But mane is point chasing because he's unproven?

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

      The former is getting a player after they have had a big haul, the latter is seeing that a player has good upcoming fixtures/ looks likely to do well in upcoming gameweeks
