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.

    Anyone on here with advice on h2h league tactics? Next opponent has fairly similar team with main differentials up front silva Milner and Kane. I have Eriksen, Downing and Bony.

    Was all set to make 1 conservative transfer in Defence ( OR round 20k) but in the back of my mind I wonder about squeezing it by getting my team even more similar to his!!

      H2H is shite. Sort out your bad differentials.
      You could always use 2 FTs if the win is more important.

  7. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    a) Siggy to Lallana

    Or

    b) Dummet to Zabaleta

    1. Carrick Doesn't Deserv…
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      A. You'll be looking to get rid of Zabaleta after Everton anyway. Saints fixtures look decent after GW21.

    I'm a bit worried without City..

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Unpopular maybe but I'd do Sanchez to Silva.

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

        That's what I'm thinking but...

  10. Evasivo
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    What's everyone changing their password over?

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years

        What happened?

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years

          Nothing.

          1. Davido989
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            I just changed my password.. 😀

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

        Thx TM.. People actually use that?

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Best around.

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

            Not sure I'd want to trust that site nor its machine. Human judgement is best I reckon

            1. Mata-Is-The-Juan
              • 12 Years
              11 years, 3 months ago

              Agreed.

              But if for nothing at all... Their price rises and falls have been reliable

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

      Hackers took down Playstaion word is FFF is next

    2. Gooner97
      • 12 Years

      What am I missing?

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

        Still don't understand, is this genuine and what can be done? If someone takes caulker and Boyd out of my team without my knowing I am going to get very upset...

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

    Will Yaya play or swap for Mirallas

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Too early to know.

    2. The Generalator
      • 11 Years

      Not sure, not thinking silva?

    3. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

  12. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
    • 14 Years

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

      So they should. 😀

      1. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        You dirty, DIRTY b*stard 🙂

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

          Considering the conversation we had 15mins ago I dont mean it really 😉

          1. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            very true haha

    2. The Hound
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I think we will be ok as there are worse teams but it don't look great does it...

  13. Adds04
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Is anyone looking at Liverpool for the next few games Stirling, Lalana or even Henderson?

    1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Yes, sterling

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

        Coutinho for me i think ppl will overlook him to Lallana and Sterling so IMO Coutinho

        1. Adds04
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          I'm thinking the same but with hendo for when I wildcard he gets quite a few assists for 6m

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

      All 3 for me..Now is the time to triple up I feel

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

        😯

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

          Eat my dust

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

        Gonna wildcard next week?

  14. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Hi guys,

    So I'm finally quite happy with my team and il avoid using my January wildcard until the end of month too which helps.

    What do you think of this team then?

    Adrian,

    Azpi, baines, zab

    Hazard, Sanchez, silva, sterling, downing

    Costa, Ings

    McCarthy, yun, duff, bojan

    0.2M ITB.

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

      Question marks over two defenders and rotation nothing you can do over that and Bojan 1st on bench. looks gd

      1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        The rotations has hurt recently! *cough* azpi & zabaleta *cough*!

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

          Mm Mm You said it..

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

          Hence a fully fit bench comes in handy.

  15. Surfreak
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Boyd on 4 YC! OMG WTF! 🙂

    1. TorresMagic™

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

    Jovetic in for Costa, no hit.

    Good idea?

    1. The Generalator
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I don't think so, not even for a hit

    2. ralfb

      No. For anyone else?

    3. The Nuttmxn

  18. A guy

    1. Optimus.

        • 13 Years

        Thanks. Hope city will keep it tight.

  22. Overlordleo
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    A) use free transfer this week to get rid of Clyne or Jagielka. Have to use wc next week to get rid or Yaya and Bony, or take a hit. Can afford all defenders.

    B) Save free transfer for next week. Use 2 free transfers next week to get is of Yaya/Bony and can save WC for a while. Forces me to play Wisdom-Janmaat-Cissokho this week.

    C) Other options? Have 4 injured players including Yaya so might end up with 10 players next week if I save my transfer.

    This is my current team:
    1 ft and 4 m itb.

    DDG
    Wisdom (WHU A) - Janmaat (BUR H) - Cissokho (CRY H)
    Yaya (C) (SUN H) -Fabregas (TOT A) - Eriksen (CHE H) - Downing (WBA H)
    Costa (TOT A) - Bony (QPR A) - Austin (VC) (Swansea H)

    Bench: Jagielka, Clyne, King (All injured)

    Thanks a lot! 🙂

    Why is there no love for siggy captain this week in the poll? Not a bad pick surely?

    1. NASL Shootout
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Too many angry sellers (myself included).

    When is Sakho leaving for the ACN?
    I'm not sure he's a nailed-on starter for the next GW.
    Could be time to get rid.
