FFS Cup

FFS Paddy Power Cup X – Sixth Round Draw

This evening, we roll out the sixth round draw of the Fantasy Football Scout Cup X, as sponsored by Paddy Power, and look back at the conclusion to the fifth round ties.

Jimbojunior emerged as the top scoring manager in the Gameweek 19 match-ups, with a score of 54 points earning him £25 worth of free bets with Paddy Power and a round six showdown with Dub. Another high scorer was Mediocre Men, whose tally of 53 points proved too much for Granville’s score of 35.

Among the remaining 32 managers who made it through to the sixth round, as many as 13 are in the top 1,000. Never Trust Lukaku continues to be the competition’s highest ranked manager – he sits in 10th overall and faces Aaron Ramessi in round six.

Other notable round six ties are round four’s highest scorer United Nations, who faces HVT. Meanwhile, Gimli son of Gloin takes on Luke Costello, who is 42nd overall and the second highest ranked manager remaining in the tournament.

The full list of fifth round results can be found here, while the sixth 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.

    How does this look if Yaya is out..

    Yaya -> Sterling
    Kane -> Carroll

    1. The Machine
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Are you pulling the Jan wc after Wednesday?

      1. The Machine
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

      2. Gimli son of Gloin
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Na. Have 2FT and will get Kane back in for Carroll next week.

        1. The Machine
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Wouldn't do it then. Sterling unavailable after Thursday no?

    2. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Awful

    3. Gimli son of Gloin

      I will not apologise for this being top of the page because that's a stupid thing to do and always has been.

      1. Somalion

        9 years, 5 months ago

        G'wan Gimli, my son!

      I wouldnt sell kane he has a good schedule after chelsea

      1. Gimli son of Gloin
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Sanchez, Haz, Siggy, Brady (barf)
        Could also do Brady -> Downing and keep Kane.. Makes more sense actually.
        That's that sorted.

    5. Syd.
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Yaya will play

      1. The Machine
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Agree

        Oh wait he said if he's out

        1. Gimli son of Gloin
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          I hope he plays.
          I'll probably captain him if he does.

    6. mgilbert86
      • 11 Years

    3. mattyrobinson
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Nice team

  4. Dr Dream
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    My take on it....Retrospective bans were always the thin end of a wedge and doomed to be as controversial as the incidents they seek to expose and punish (!) albeit in a potentially biased way.

    Like many other ill thought out remedies, of all kinds, they simply replace one set of problems with another...the Sterling and Shelvey incidents being a good case in point.

    Mourinho sums it up well in this interview, once you get past the first part which is obviously pointed at his own players recent theatricals http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/30567552

    1. Somalion
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      "I remember last season, you had players and clubs punished by panels and you had clubs and players protected by panels," he said.

      "I saw somebody kick a player on the floor, hit him in the back - no suspension. I saw others with minor things being suspended.

      "Players are punished for silly comments on Facebook, Instagram and this kind of thing, and players are not punished for other things."

      I think he is bang on. Cheers Wakey.

      1. Dr Dream
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        He is indeed....We all have a belief that panels will always be set up and be fair, nothing could be further from the truth...and not just in football

        1. Somalion
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Very true. Vested interests all about, as you rightly say not just in football.

    2. Gimli son of Gloin
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I think it all boils down to common sense really, something which seems to be in extremely short supply in those running football.

      1. Dr Dream
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Agreed...

      2. Camp No No
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Every football association that has any relevance whatsoever is run by two sorts of people:

        1. Smart but corrupt.

        2. Idiots who are too dumb to understand they are corrupt.

        1. Somalion
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          😀 Spot on I reckon! 😆

        2. Camp No No
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          And this applies to any other money sport as well.

    3. Camp No No
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      It's really Mourinho's take on it, isn't it? 😉

      Read this interview a while ago and agree with both of you. And with Somalian, too, as per usual.

      1. Somalion
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        They say agreeing with me is the first sign of madness 😯

        1. Camp No No
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Then we have been mad together for a long time now, my friend. 😀

          However, they say that agreeing with me is the first sign of wisdom.

          Oh, by "they" I refer to the voices in my head. 😉

          1. Somalion
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            😀

            Well the voices in your head sound much wiser than those in mine 😉

  5. joinho
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    When we will have a clearer view on whether or not Yaya will play against Sunderland?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Lineups probably.

      1. Patty
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        1. QPR expects... glory!
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Well after. Citeh kick off at 3. Deadline is11:30

    2. Gimli son of Gloin
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I hope City have a preset tomorrow, I'm sure Pelle will mention him.
      If it's not confirmed he will play a part I'll most likely get rid for Sterling.

      1. Gimli son of Gloin
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        *presser

        1. Syd.
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          I captained the Sunday league player last week and he was useless grrrrr

          1. copps
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            the sunday league player has more goals than costa

            1. Syd.
              • 15 Years
              9 years, 5 months ago

              That's because he is better than Costa

    2. Patty
      • 9 Years

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

    3. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Silva

    4. Podge

      1. che
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Aye, when Kun was playin

        1. Podge
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          They've scored 8 in the last 3 GWs, they are managing without him.

          1. che
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            I know, I'm captaining Silva again, just tryin to kid meself we've got a chance!

  10. Red Star Toro
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    What's the chance we have any info on Yaya's fitness before deadline?
    Should I
    A) Yaya -> Silva
    or
    B) Vergini -> Cresswell and pray Yaya plays?

    1. Cousin Greg
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      He is training. So he will play imo.

  11. rdamjan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Play Terry or Jenkinson?

    1. Syd.
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      JT

    2. Cousin Greg
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      JT always.

    3. Patty
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      jenkinson

  12. copps
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Why is it that the best darts players are from Stoke?

    1. Syd.
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Didn't realise Holland was a district of Stoke

      1. copps
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        thats what they tell you. but van gerwen is actually from stoke as well, he learnt his accent to disguise his origins because he's ashamed to be from stoke.

        1. bitterandstout
            9 years, 5 months ago

            lol! you mean the stoke district in hamsterdam?

    2. dberb9
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Have 1 FT and

      Panti/ Elliot
      Hutton Clyne Bruce // Naylor Chambers

      So whats should be done first :

      A) Chamb - Trippier / else
      B) Elliot - Heaton (and play heaton for next 3)
      C) else

      1. dberb9
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        echo

        1. how now brown cow
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Chambers to trippier or hammers defender?

    3. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I'm getting lallana in this gw and captaining him. I'm reasoning it's not beyond probability Hamer could kick the ball off the back of his head for a goal this week too. Quids in investment if you ask me.

    4. Patty
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Is jovetic a good shout for the armband

      1. The Nuttman
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Nope, good punt but no (C)

    5. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      2 FT, so thinking of Forster > Adrian and Eriksen > Lallana. Good moves?

    6. Tinmen
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Folks, does anyone know if Peligrini's press conference is tomorrow?

      1. Cousin Greg
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        yes it's tmrw.

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Time?

          1. Cousin Greg
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Will get to know only tomorrow.

      2. Syd.
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        There's a picture of Yaya and Kompany taking part in training if that helps

    7. Dušan Citizen
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Sterling to be rested against Leicester?

      1. Cousin Greg
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        There is a possibilty but nothing for sure.

      2. Somalion
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Possibly though I would be surprised.

      3. drughi
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        probably

      4. Klopp's Kids
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Markovic can slot in nicely

    8. Puyol Pants Up
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Who seem's to be the most popular (C) choice this GW?

      1. Syd.
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        No real stand out candidates

      2. Podge
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Silva by miles on the captain poll

      3. Malcolm Tucker for England …
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        after seeing the jacks last night, young Charles

    9. Gideons Rolling Another One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Taking a -4 point hit to bring in Sterling and then benching Kane to play him, isn't a good idea is it?

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Only if you think Sterling will score 4 or more than Kane.

        1. piquiblanco
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Agreed, but only if FPL ends with GW 20.

          1. Gideons Rolling Another One
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Nice. Cheers.

      2. Podge
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Nah, may not even play

    10. Syd.
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I might captain Costa

      1. Cahill
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        i wouldn't - he has previous with Fazio! at least a booking

        1. QPR expects... glory!
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Fazio seems to be settling down after a rough start. Actually looks a decent player now!

          1. Vardy Gras PBFC
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Looking dangerous from set-pieces.

    11. Klopp's Kids
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I can see De Gea going to Madrid and Lloris going to Utd

      1. Vardy Gras PBFC
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        About time United signed another Spurs player.

    12. chrisjdgrady
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Yun > cheap defender
      + Bony > Rooney

      Or

      Yun > Jones
      Bony > Kane

    13. Viper
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      How does this look for this week? Saving a FT.

      Pantilimon

      Terry Zabaleta Baines

      Hazard Silva(c) Sanchez Siggy

      Bony Benteke Austin

      Subs: Hutton, Boyd, Yun

      1. Grizz
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        decent

      2. Man Chest Hair United
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Nice swans double up is nt ideal but at least they have a decent fixture

        1. Viper
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago
