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.

      Reid

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

    Bench one of these

    1. Sanchez
    2. Hazard
    3. Siggy
    4. Downing
    5. Yaya
    6. Bony
    7. Austin
    8 benteke.

    1. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Bony

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

      Probably Siggy

    3. bigwig
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Has to be a swansea player as you will already have them covered.

      Probably Siggy

    4. Baines on Toast...
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Bony for me. I can see him being benched.

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

        Hhhhmm toughie ain't it

        1. Baines on Toast...
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Bony is more explosive than Siggy though, so probably higher risk.

      2. Yank Revolution
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Benched right before he leaves the team? Why?

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

      I asked same below for Siggy, Downing, Bony. I think I'll bench Bony but have a nagging doubt he'll really put it in for his last game before ACON. Siggy's form is back and Downing's has dipped but West Brom at home is tempting.

  3. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    My team for this week:

    Begovic
    Caulker, Zabaleta, Taylor
    Hazard, Silva, Sanchez, Sigurdsson
    Austin, Kane, Costa

    Subs: Pantilimon, Boyd, Clyne, Skrtel.

    Skrtel getting banned messed me up. Should I do:

    A: Skrtel to Terry. Can just afford it. 0 left in bank.
    B: Skrtel to Hutton
    C: Save the transfer, meaning I have no defensive subs if one of my defenders doesnt play

    Any other suggestions?

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

      A

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

      A or B...most likely Zaba would be rested

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

        I reckon he'll play and sagna plays in cup. Zaba has had enough rest.

        1. Hybrid.power
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          I bloody well hope so. Zaba and Skrtel were my two transfers last week. That would be a disaster!

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

          U can always play Terry/Hutton ahead of Naylor this week

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

    Barkley > Coutinho/Mirallas

    or

    Save FT

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

      I fancy getting Mirallas in but will give it one more week due to his current game time after the injury.

  5. bigwig
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    So many decent mid priced options.
    Even the likes of Young, Milner and Henderson - players I would normally scoff at

    Is there any news on Yaya?

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

      Hendo looks good wouldn't procure the other 2.

  6. Lazarus Star
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Got Clichy & Zab...hold both or offload one? If so which one? (Got Cresswell & Hutton to support plus non eligable Clyne benched)

    1. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      How did you end up with both ?...Zaba and Sagna I can understand...or Clichy and Kolarov...You could end up with none playing with those two.

      1. Lazarus Star
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Doubled up last GW but to no avail.Dont like City rotation, will prob off load both in Jan.

        1. Dr Dream
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Kompany is the one...Zaba at a pinch...The rest are troublesome.

      2. In Like Flynn.
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Surely not both rested? I'd bow to your better knowledge. But it would be very unlucky indeed.

    2. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I'd hold and play both this week without a doubt. If one is rested you have three at the back.
      As long as your mids and strikers have 7 playing you're fine.

      Similar question below.

      1. Lazarus Star
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        My thought, I think at least one will always play. But not a long term strategy. Although Hutton and Cresswell and good cover

    3. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Clyne is injured as well, maybe that's your transfer for this week?

      1. Lazarus Star
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Already done Dummett to Cresswell. Clyne from GW1, gonna keep.

  7. In Like Flynn.
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Jedinak to Boyd or
    Oscar to Fabregas?

    I could afford to lose .1 or 2 on the Oscar transfer this week, but it's the points that worry me.

    It really comes down to who will play and their point potential.
    I would be benching Jedi or Boyd anyway, but can't afford to be a player short if there is rotation elsewhere.
    Is Oscar likely to play and either Haz or Fab rested?

    Now get your Crystal balls out and tell me exactly how the games and squads will go on Thursday.

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

      Second one. Bigger upside.

        Thanks Floydy.

    2. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      oscar to fab........... tho im tempted by the boyd buy myself, just to stop his points of course 😉

      1. In Like Flynn.
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        My thoughts exactly.

    3. RD
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I guess we would be playing our best 11 against Spurs..which includes Oscar Fabregas nd Hazard..don't see any of them being benched ...
      Oscar > Fabregas would be good for long term..but for a full squad Boyd transfer seems to be feasible one

      1. In Like Flynn.
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks RD, a club fan's thoughts always good to know.

    4. Lazarus Star
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Fab. Season assist king. 2014/15 essential imo

      1. Yank Revolution
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Wrong answer. The essential Che MF to have is Hazard.

    5. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Maybe both and take a hit. It's only -4 and should guarantee a full team.

    6. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Thanks for your thoughts People. I think I'll do whatever it is I decide to do tonight.

        Does Krul to Alnwick make sense. I have 2ft and full squad with no changes required and will play WC last week of Jan. Just gives me extra cash for few weeks

          • 16 Years

          No, not for a defender.

          You are 48 hrs away from a possible WC.

          Don't take a hit.

          1. kael
            • 11 Years
