This evening, we roll out the seventh round draw of the Fantasy Football Scout Cup X, as sponsored by Paddy Power, and take a look back at the key events during New Year’s Day’s sixth round ties.
United Nations is fast becoming the manager to beat after clocking up his second prize for scoring the highest number of points in a round. A tally of 69 points has propelled him into 334th position overall, earning him another £25 worth of free bets from Paddy Power and setting him up for a round seven tie with Mince and Tatties. United Nations’ fielding of Harry Kane and Gael Clichy proved crucial to his victory.
The giant-killing accolade of the round goes to Aaron Ramessi. He may be ranked 33,436th overall but he saw off round six’s highest ranked manager Never Trust Lukaku, who is ranked 19th. Aaron Ramessi now faces CMIFLFC in the seventh round.
Other notable round seven ties include Mediocre Men, who knocked Granville out in round five, taking on Momalpashands, and community writer Saata facing up to Wolverine. Jimbojunior drew the short straw and meets round seven’s highest ranked manager Mjfdept, who is 65th overall.
Among the 16 remaining competitors, 13 have a rank within the top 10,000 and four are in the elite top 1,000 group.

9 years, 5 months agoRepost: Getting in Kane and Austin leaves some major money to be invested. However, now there aren't many great premium defenders to spend it on, so the choice is squarely on midfielders.
Given Yaya Toure's departure, now the trio of Hazard, Sanchez and David Silva look locks into every team. You'd have Boyd or Sigurdsson/Downing as your 5th MF. Who is the 4th MF now? The options right now are Mata, Sterling, Sigurdsson/Downing, Di Maria, Eriksen, Cazorla and Fabregas. I am thinking on writing about their credentials here so that it helps everyone (since I am making this call anyway).
I'd like to know first about who is your 4th MF?
