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.

    looking at finalising my team tonight.

    my current midfield: Cesc, Hazard, Yaya, Silva (Boyd)

    i'm unsure Yaya will play, best ship to Sterling?

      Similar thoughts Kenneth...

      75% chance of playing and a great match for him to play... probably keep unless hear news then transfer to Sanchez/Lallana IMO

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

        cheers, ya I guess it wouldn't hurt keeping hold of him for the sunderland game. i'd say he'll play after last result

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          If hes fit then he should play unless they are ''trying it out'' playing without him ahead of his absence.. but would seem silly thing to do....

          I say keep unless we hear 100% he is out...

          BUT then next week.... who to?

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

            I've honest no idea!

            I was flirting with changing each week depending on who's playing a weak team but that wont work unless all my players stay fit

    Evening gents!

    Guzan,
    Hutton, Wisdom, Dummett,
    Silva, Yaya, Hazard (c), Sanchez,
    Costa, Bony, Austin,

    Panti, Boyd, Clyne, Oshea, 0.3ITB 1FT

    a) Save and hope Yaya plays one more game before he goes off to ACON
    b) Yaya to Fabregas (I will do this next week anyway)
    c) Yaya to Lallana (Seems to playing as a wide forward and nice fix)
    d) other?

    Thanks,

      Why do you still have Di Maria? Me could be out for a few more GWs

        what should i do now i have kept him for this long
        should i get rid or keep

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

      will never understand why someone carries an injured player for so long

    11 years, 3 months ago

    With viable midfield options growing, and with premiums such as Hazard, Sanchez, Yaya, Silva filling 2/3 spaces of the "template", the £7.5 - £8.5 bracket is getting ever crowded with interesting options to fill the extra spaces... which would you choose and why?

    a) Sterling
    b) Coutinho
    c) Lallana
    d) Mata
    e) Eriksen
    f) Cazorla

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

      E

      Good fixtures after the Chelsea game

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

      Eriksen....Sterling for a gamble for a week or two.

      1. Camp No No
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        In fact, wouldn't Markovic be the most likely of them all to start and play (almost) full minutes against Leicester at home, which is the match we are looking for?

    3. bitterandstout
        11 years, 3 months ago

        eriksen, sterling, cazorla (short termish) I'd wait on lallana to prove consistency. Same with Coutinho.

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

        Mirallas will be in that price bracket after another goal or two!
        I'll swap Sanchez for Cazorla to free up the cash for Aguero soon.
        So, F, Cazorla

      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Very tempted to do Yaya + Welbeck ----> Sanches + Jovetic/Austin

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

      fabregas could be a great captain punt vs old rival spurs

      1. Jax

        nah.

    6. Gideons Rolling Another One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Evening all ... got two transfers spinning in my head. Can't decide - any help much appreciated.

      DDG

      Azpi / Zaba / Dummett

      Eriksen / Hazard / Sanchez / Silva

      Costa / Austin / Kane

      Bench: / Chambers / Clyne / Jedi / Krul

      I'm thinking either

      A. Jedi > Sterling or Downing + Chambers to Hutton -4
      B. Chambers to Cresswell

      Or just save the transfer.

      Thanks all

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

      Who to bench?

      Hazard, Yaya, Downing, Siggy, Mirallas

      Austin, Costa, Benteke

      Not really comfortable seeing Kevin on my bench currently.

      1. Ser Football 42
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Mirallas

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

          He's delivering points and Hull aren't grear but yeah, it's where I'm at at the mo.

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

            i would bench siggy before mirallas

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

              Against QPR?

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

        yaya might be benched anyway

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

          Yeah played Yaya and had Siggy from the bench this week. That'd make things easier if it happened again.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years

          Will cause a big shake up at Spurs.

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

          Spurs transfer policy is always a bit crap

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Should sign him on a contract agreement, that way it doesn't just smackdown the confidence of those who are there and tells them they need to shape up.

      5. Big Sum

        money - 0.9

        who to captain ?? who to change ?? thinking yaya to sterling or lallana and bojan to caroll and benched siggy ..... any thought ???

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years

          Quite weird not having any defenders?

          I'd probably captain bony

          Yaya to eriksen next week

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

          i think silva is the best option as a captain in your squad
          I am lacking silva so am leaning towards either austin or hazard

          maybe yaya to sterling and use the money difference to enhance your front line ( costa, rooney , RVP)

        Not sure can Silva deliver 3 gameweeks in a row. He didn't have consistancy in his previous seasons.

              Not in the UK myself but I haven't heard any news about any games being postponed.

              And am pretty sure this place will go crazy did any games got cancelled... Or 'could be' cancelled 😆

        Chances of Spurs scoring against Chelsea. Must be slim??

        After all they couldn't score against United

        1. CarelessGenius©
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Chelski no how to beat Spurs. CS I reckon too.

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

            Bench Kane????

            Very risky me thinks

            1. CarelessGenius©
              • 14 Years
              11 years, 3 months ago

              I'll be playing Kane. My bench sucks is the only reason.

        2. Jax

          eriksen will prob score. he usually scores every 2nd game.

            • 11 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            Yes but it's usually away from home he scores, but have two in a row at home and it's Chelski!

        3. Somalion
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          On paper your logic is flawless.

          6-0 Spurs.

        Anyone have a clue as to when FPL Towers will inform of us of the next match up in The Cup? I've got Jedinak, YYT, Bony issues and if I knew my competitor's team it might give me a clue as to what steps/transfers to take to prepare.

        Assume it will be prior to the start of the Games, but hoping today as it looks like some people i'm considering will rise tonight.

        Cheers!

          I'd just ignore the cup, gotta still be thousands to one to win it.

        Any fellow Bony owners getting fed up of owning him? Week after week of 2 or 1 points, got a horribble feeling I get rid now he'll score big next GW...

          He's only got one more game so it won't hurt too badly.

          only 1 weeks before he heads off to ACON so this is last week for him anyway for me before I move him to Kane....

        RVP to rip it up v Stoke?

          I'm not sure he's capable of ripping up anybody anymore...The odd goal here and there is about his lot now.

            Should have had two v Spurs. Why didn't he head that ball in instead of fecking around trying to kick it? It's true his confidence isn't great but he's due a couple....

        Captain

        Give a yaya his last chance

        Austin , surely not 2 blanks at home in a row

        Sterling oop , Leicester

        Sanchez up front maybe

        1. Leaf
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Sterling was seen by officials , Shelvey not

          Stupid I know , but I own sterling so he's innocent

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

        Anyone know why Shelvey has been charged and Sterling hasn't?

        1. Camp No No
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Because Sterling plays for Liverpool and England and Shelvey doesn't.

          Sterling the golden child of English football ...

          Shelvey ... not so much.
