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.

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

        Do not lose Wisdom. In fact, if Pulis takes over I'll consider doubling up on Baggies defenders

          no confirmation he is taking over and they are leaking goals right now

    2. Gooner97

    3. King H

  4. Gatsby

    Who to bench?

    Downing (wba) (h)

    Siggy (qpr) (a)
    or
    Bony (qpr) (a)

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

      None

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

        Silva, Sanchez, Hazard, Austin, Rooney are my other options.

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

      I'm benching siggy I think but I don't like it....

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

      Bony. Might not get much game time anyway for gomis

  5. Coaly
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Yaya to Silva (c) worth it?

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

      I think so, safe option and a transfer that has to be made in a week anyway! Just did it few mins ago

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

      As yaya is out after this gw, think so

  6. Arctic monkeys
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    can we hear more about Yaya or should i just gamble and keep him ?

    @MGILBERT86 i want to ditch Oscar with my ft .

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

      tomorrow.

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

      keep and wait for news tomorrow. actually if he's declared fit, he'll lose his yellow and be price protected for a week, which will be useful next week if not playing WC

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

        Only removal of red flag makes player protected

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

          are you sure? anyone know this one way or another?

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

            Yes, removal of yellow flag resets player to 0%.

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

      if oscar didn't play last game he is highly likely to play this one so sort out yaya then use wc to get rid of oscar

    4. Zasa
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Get rid of Oscar in any case, no form or threat to speak of.

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

    Kane,Beneteke,Austin
    Should I consider Bony over one of them???Who is that??
    and who is likely to be rested from these:
    Hazard,Sanchez,Silva

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

      Bony is off to acon after this gw, so no

  8. Chippo, Hadji, Aloisi.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Kane and Yaya to jovetic and lallana

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

      Don't be silly

      1. Chippo, Hadji, Aloisi.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        If Yaya is out I'm doing it.

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

      Why not, might work out

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

      yaya only

  9. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Mates, would u change something in this team? 🙂

    Foster (Krul)
    Cahill Mangala Hutton (Naylor, Yun)
    Sanchez Hazard (C) Silva Nasri Downing
    Rooney Austin (Kane)

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

      Possibly nasri to sterling or cazorla. Nasri out of form

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

      Looks good save transfer

  10. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    If I was Aston Villa/Benteke I'd be considering suing the FA over Benteke's sending off in light of Sterlings escape

    Double standards when England players are involved!

    1. Chippo, Hadji, Aloisi.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Nothing to do with it. Ref saw it and took no action. End of.

      1. The Machine
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        So why didn't the ref do anything?

        1. For Fuchs Sake
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Yeah it was a bit of handbags but at the very least a yellow card

        2. Chippo, Hadji, Aloisi.
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Who knows. But that's the silly fa rules. If ref takes no action the fa will only do it in extreme circumstances.

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

      Was the same at FPL towers a few years ago too. No matter what anyone else did it was almost always the young English players that received the 3 bonus points from "the man in the stands"

      1. Chippo, Hadji, Aloisi.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        They did have their favourites.

        1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Someone had Barry Ferguson in their team that is all I know

        2. Son is Rising
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Charlie Adam more like. Win or lose he had 3 points every week

        3. Big_Andy_GAWA
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Sterling's was worse than Giroud's and all the rest. Giroud merely put his head against yer man's. They know the consequences at the same time, though...

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

            Theres no way it was worse than Girouds headbutt.

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

      Benteke actually made contact and pushed Mason's head away right in front of the ref. Sterling threw a slap towards the Swansea player and I'm not sure actually made contact. It was in front of the linesman so was seen by the officials and therefore no retrospective action.

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

        I can assure you he made contact

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

      The difference between the two strikes were light and day. Sterling looked like a young girl giving a half hearted attempt at swatting a fly.

  11. Feed tha Sheep
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Best option?
    A. Ameobi > 5.6 mid
    B. Rooney and Ameobi > Kane and Sterling (-4)
    C. Save and play Boyd or Dumnett?

    1. Feed tha Sheep
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Anyone?

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

    Heaton (Mannone)
    Wisdom Ivanovic Hutton (Clyne*, OShea)
    Hazard Sanchez Siggy Downing (Boyd)
    Rooney Costa Austin

    1FT and £1.0 ITB

    What to do with this lot?

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Save it mate

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

      Nothing!! Play as it is.

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

      trade out wisdom

    4. Chippo, Hadji, Aloisi.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Often a new manager starts and a teams form suddenly improves. West Ham at home to wba I can see as a 0-0. Play Boyd over Downing.

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

        Well, Newcastle can have a new manager too...

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

    Worth taking a gamble on Mirallas vs Hull already have Hazzard-Sanchez-Silva and Downing.

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

      Who to sell?

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

        Yaya...

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

      decent shout assuming everton come around

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

        If any of the Everton players are attacking it seems to be Mirallas at the moment.

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

          yeah he's ticking over despite everton being awful, if they start clicking, he might be great

  14. Adam_LeFondre
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Who is more nailed on for Thursday?

    Cresswell or Reid?

    And who should I get rid of.

    A) Clyne
    B) jagielka

    Cheers

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

      Both are nailed on.

      Cresswell offers better attacking options.

      Jagielka for your other question.

    2. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Clyne fixtures not great but you have held til now

  15. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Save FT or make transfer?

    Adrian
    Zabaleta, Dummet, Naylor, Davies, Kolorov
    Sanchez, Hazard, Silva, Sigurdsson, Boyd
    Kane, Costa, Yun

    1ft and 6m itb Kolorov to Terry, Hutton or Cresswell?

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

      Get a Chelsea defender.Not Cresswell because you've got Adrian

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Oh Torres .... Still bang in a brace in his first game

  16. King H
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Benteke or Carroll

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

      Benteke all the life

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

      Carroll, but prob wouldn't go for either. Prefer Austin, Kane, ings, jovetic

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

    Any recommendations for me?

    Foster

    Azpi demichelis Hutton (wisdom)(Bartley)

    Haz silva Sanchez siggy sterling

    Costa Austin (Kane)

    Anything worth a hit?

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

      Good to go, dont take a hit

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

        Cheers mate

  18. Scotty B
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Is demichelis nailed on?

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

      No.

  19. JayJ
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Hey all

    This is me atm:

    Pantillimon - Krul
    Clyne - Terry - Clichy - Dummett - Duff
    Sanchez - Fabregas - Siggy - Chadli - Silva
    Kane - Costa - Austin

    1.4 ITB and 1FT

    Looking at Sanchez and Chadli > Hazard and Cazorla

    This means I have to sell either Terry or Costa; most likely Terry, which leaves me the problem of who to replace them with.

    Any ideas please?

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

      Zaba or cresswell

  20. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    How sterling doesn't get banned is beyond me.

    Per Howard Webb Monday night football circa 3 weeks ago,

    'If a contact is made above the chest then it is definitely a red card'

    Tut

  21. starbows
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    What do people think Yaya's chances are?

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

      50/50

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

    I have 8.9m and I need a mid i have silva, Oscar, hazard and Downing I'm getting rid of jedinak I'm thinking Lalana, Stirling, Ericsson or Cazorla but any suggestions welcome I'm undisided

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

      Sterling for me, but Cazorla is also a good punt

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

        This

  23. GREENDREAMS11

    11 years, 3 months ago

    ok folks, Have been mightilly impressed with Burnley in the past 3/4 weeks, Big Ashley Barnes seems to be calling my name. Not sure if its a jery knee problem or not . Any doctors in the house for a quick diagnosis?

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

      jerky knee. not the beef type of jerky either

    2. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Knees gone through the roof.

      I prescribe a dose of arthritis.

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

        He can have mine. I'm sure Doosra would donate his too. 😉

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

        lol. they were very good against both City and Spurs, Maybe I am getting old and arthritic

  24. il Brutto

    Who's the goalie up to 5mil to have until the end of january?

    1. Gooner97
      • 12 Years

      Pantillimon

      1. il Brutto
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        hm.. Was actually looking to offload him until the wildcard.

  25. Scotty B

    1. Chambo

      Yes

  26. Chippo, Hadji, Aloisi.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Any one else think West Ham v WBA will be a 0-0. New manager/temporary taking over suddenly form improves.

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

      Well, Newcastle could have a new manager too...

      1. Chippo, Hadji, Aloisi.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Hmmm true.

    2. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS

      I really like the Mirallas punt.
      I had him before he got injured angainst QPR and replaced with Downing...

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

        Could work and im hoping so as none of my fellow managers have him in their teams
