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.

    Best defender to bring in for the next three gameweeks to replace Skrtel? Current defense is Caulker, Taylor, Zabaleta, Clyne and Skrtel. I have 6.5 to spend, so I can afford Terry but I really dont think Chelsea will keep a clean sheet this week. I would also get Hutton but all my rivals have him, so there's no gain there.

    2. Teddy Brewski

      Creswell

  2. Lallana_
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    I'm surprised not many are captaining Austin this week. I'm also surprised Sterling is in second place.

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

      Ive got the armband on him right now.

    2. Goodfella
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Sterling playing as the striker, has looked really good, could've had a hat-trick against Swansea.

      1. GREENDREAMS11
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        yeah, was quite unlucky last night

    3. chilli con kone
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      As have I. Swansea will attack and leave spaces

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

    What's everyone doing with Bony?

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

      Keeping this week. Then hes getting a big fat boot.

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

        For?

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

          No idea atm. Jovetic a good option.

    2. JWF
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Selling him last gameweek.

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

      50/50 keeping one more week or upgrading to rooney

    4. John t penguin
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Nothing worth bringing in this week.
      Thought about dong one of burnley pair for decent cover, never thought I would say that, with plan to play next week

  4. JK - Cønt ⭐
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    so I hope people haven't sold Yaya

    Might even (c) now

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

    I actually kind of wanted Yaya to be out so that I could get rid of him for Sterling. Still might do it anyway...?!

    1. Gimli son of Gloin
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Captain Yaya

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

        If I had him, he would be my captain this week.

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

        He might be in trouble for that tweet...he's basically the boss was lying...he won't be too thrilled about it.

        1. Gimli son of Gloin
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          No time for that after drawing at home to the mighty Burnley.

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

          But the boss was lying.

  6. Fader
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    A) Yaya + Boyd
    B) Downing + Sterling
    C) Downing + Mata
    D) Downing + Siggy

    ?

    1. Teddy Brewski
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      B

  7. mike_89
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Who to play out of:

    Silva Sterling Sanchez Hazard Downing
    Costa Kane Austin

    Any help would be appreciated

    1. Teddy Brewski
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Same as me other than i have Siggy instead of Downing

      I'm benching Kane

    2. heraty88
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I benched Kane. Pretty much same front 8 except siggy for downing

      1. mike_89
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Ok, tenx guys 🙂

        Did the same and captain Sterling 🙂

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

      Bench Kane

  8. Mulder
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Moreno worth a punt? What happened to Glen?

  9. Big Bad Barry
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Silva landslide captain poll

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

      So happy I got him in as soon as he was fit. Made some nice gains before the bandwagon started!

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

      In form with a good fixture with no stand out alternatives. Have him but fancy Benteke has captain over him.

    3. Bollard
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I find that a little surprising as Sunderland are a bit of a bogey team for city. Could be quite tight. I have Yaya and Silva but really considering captaining sterling...

  10. John t penguin
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Didn't pelle say yaya was injured?
    Why would yaya contradict him? And why would he be rested when off to ACON next week?

    1. QPR expects... glory!
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      He got a rest last year between Xmas and New Year too!

      1. John t penguin
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        But wasn't going to ACON then, unless he asked for it why would manager weaken team for player who he won't have in couple of games time

    2. the axolotl
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      thought he could do without him. he was only "injured" after they didn't win. if they'd won, he probably would have said he rested him, because he's a brilliant manager

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

      Yaya said he had a pain in his bollocks and Pelle thought he meant a groin injury 😉

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

    Baines to Cresswell or hold?

    1. Gooner97
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      keep

    2. McSauce
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      defo hold

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

      Cheers!!

    4. The Raging Bull
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      baines attacking more last 2 games.

  12. mgilbert86
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    QPR could very well repeat that horrendous performance last week against a better team in swansea

    avoid austin captain i say, they couldn't string anything attacking together

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

      swans did not look good the other day

      1. mgilbert86
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        they'll bounce back

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

          so will qpr.....theyve scored against better

    2. Gimli son of Gloin
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Sanchez & Hazard are the two safest choices I think.
      Teams guaranteed to score more or less, they'll probably be involved.

      1. mgilbert86
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

      Downing. Just because he's less likely to score which equals 2-3 BAPs usually.

    City v Sunderland is generally a high scoring game but Pantilmillion might have something to say about that. I really want Silva but City's fixtures get a bit sour after that game. I'll accept I missed the boat.
