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.

The full list of sixth round results can be found here, while the seventh 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 with Hart their only playing keeper and not wildcarding this week? What to do with him? I have 1 FT but if he's playing I'll use it somehow else...

    1. Concrete
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Was going to get rid but need to make other FTs

      Keeping I think now until,WC

    2. jaredwilliams

      Lloris is an option until your WC

  2. Volk

    When Lovren is back will he go straight back into the Liverpool defence?

    1. money face bandwagon
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      No

    2. Nickofoz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I'd certainly consider him at 4.9 but he won't be 100% nailed on

  3. Gideons Rolling Another One

    For a punt I bought Sterling in last GW. It just about paid off but it was nervous times... I'm now considering selling after just 1 GW back to Eriksen.

    Madness or rational thinking?

    1. money face bandwagon
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Silly

    2. Gabhini Gupini
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      cant trust liverpool this season.

    3. Volk
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I've had Sterling from GW1 until my Wildcard just now as I think he will be given a bit of a rest soon and also he is not exactly playing great at the moment. Yes, he is explosive when he is, but I've gone with Coutinho for a bit of a differential.

    4. Gideons Rolling Another One

      Cheers all

    5. Christina.
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      That's the reason why I never bought him.He is a no go for me until Sturridge is back.

  4. Volk
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Just Wildcarded. What do you think of this team?

    1. Gabhini Gupini
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      i would not get welbeck and lovren

      1. Mozart_s Balls
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        This! Plus double Utd defense? Maybe Eriksen -> Chadli & Jones -> Chelsea def?

        1. Volk
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Utd have good fixtures. Happy to double up for now. I love Eriksen and think Chadli will be out of the side again before long.

      2. Volk
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        At the prices Welbeck is a fantastic route into the Arsenal attack - even though I do not rate Welbeck at all. Alexis is insanely overpriced.

        1. Gabhini Gupini
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Welbeck is injured.

    2. Jarvis
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Issues with your whole bench, coutinho, jones, debuchy and welbeck

    3. Randy_Marsh
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Kane -> Wellbeck

    4. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Welbeck, Lovren and Taylor needs to go. So Giroud, Hutton and Boyd instead?

    5. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Too many "punts" for my liking.
      Don't like Jones, Welbeck or Lovren.

  5. Lallana_
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Is Chadli and Kane overkill? Both have form but not reputation.
    Thinking they'll be my replacements for Sakho, Toure.

    1. Sparrer
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Have Kane, want Chadli. So its a no from me

  6. nibby
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    On my WC.Which manutd player to go 4?

    A) Falcao

    B) Rooney

    C) ADM

    Leaning towards Rooney for pitchtime.Thoughts?

    1. Concrete
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      AdM

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

      I think Falcao is really hitting his stride

      1. Christina.
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        I don't like him being taken off early.

        1. nibby
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          100% Agreed @Chreitina. Pitch time is big problem for Falcao.So,should i go with Rooney?

          1. Christina.
            • 16 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            I was hoping ADM would be fit this past GW.

            I want ManU "cover" for GW 22->...

            Rooney/ADM only options I would consider.

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

          The week before he stayed on and RVP came off early if he keeps performing as is I reckon he will get his 90min on a regular basis

          1. Christina.
            • 16 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            That's my point. Rooney is your man if you want a ManU striker.

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

                • 16 Years
                11 years, 1 month ago

                He is the one that stays one when Falcao/Rvp goes off. Then he moves further forward.

                He still does well irrespective of where he plays.

                1. Christina.
                  • 16 Years

                  11 years, 1 month ago

                  I'm just still bitter with myself for selling him to Giroud and giving him the armband for his red card I think lol

  7. Randy_Marsh
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    I had an awful spell of games through the Christmas period but hanging in there.

    Whats the plan on WC? I like the look of Southampton again towards the end of the month. Double up on their defense again?

    1. Christina.
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I've kept Berty since my WC in Gw 4. He aint going anywhere. No double up for me.

      Berty will prob be my most exp defenderoo once I have used my Jan WC.

    2. Evans
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Same here

      I loaded up on city which turned out to be pointless

      Everyone says to wait until the end , which is fine , but by doing it early we maybe able to steal a March on our opponents

  8. Vamos Los Celeste

    panti heaton
    azpi bertrand wasilewski ( 2 wba)
    jhonson eriksen haz sanchez sessegnon
    kane falcao costa

    What do you think of this team?
    sessegnon not going to AFCON ? right ?

  9. Evans
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Fellas ....opinions needed

    On January WC and decided I need a new defence as this one is getting me nowhere fast

    Hart( 6.1) Elliott (4.0)

    Baines (7.1) aplizecuta (6.1) Chambers (4.8) Kolarov (5.7) Moore (4.0)

      1. Evans
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Brilliant ....Newcastle, west brom is of interest

    1. Vamos Los Celeste
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      wba ( the nailed on from wisdom pocognoli gamboa : crystal palace under pulis 12 cs in PL)
      bertrand not baines
      too much city

      1. Crouch Potato!
        • 14 Years

        This ain't Palace.

        1. Vamos Los Celeste
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          yes better

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

      Panti/Heatin
      Terry, Bert, Hutton, Davies, Lescott

      1. ILOVEBAPS
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Not bad but not sure on Davies yet.

    3. Sparrer
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I suspect I'll go:

      wba/bur
      avl/wba/che/sot/sun.

      Terry looks a no brainer. Toby for saints if you don't have one of the fullbacks already. Consider Newcastle defs for other budget choices too, check rotations. And if Vlaar goes to MU, grab him.

      1. Evans
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Ta

        1. Sparrer
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          No probs. You get RMT in the members section, excellent for eyeing rotating sets.

  10. ILOVEBAPS
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Is the overall points potential for Ars midfield (Caz and Sanchez in particular) decrease with the addition of G-Ru this GW?

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Sanchez is definitely on probation for me. He's very expensive and unless he starts to return with Arsenal's imminent juicy fixtures he could be gone in the WC.

      1. Sparrer
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Wow. I won't be getting rid unless he gets injured or long term banned.

      2. ILOVEBAPS
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Yep totally understand but Sanchez hasn't been doing too badly. Think he needs a rest though.

    2. ILOVEBAPS
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Thinking of a double up but like Silva behind Jovetic it has it's potential Hazards 😉

  11. Concrete
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    First attempt at WC - RMT

    Guzan Pants
    Jones Zabaleta Terry Hutton Aldw
    Fabregas Hazard Sanchez Chadli Boyd
    Aguero Austin Kane
    .5 ITB

    Maybe AdM instead of Fabregas

    1. Sparrer
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Too much in defense, for me, and no escape from Austin to another big forward. I think defensively you're falling into the trap of spending all your cash. Personally I'd lose one or both of Jones and Zab and try and get value options - post WC Aldw and Terry take two spots, so you have three players rotating for one slot.

      1. Concrete
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers, good points, will have another look

        1. Sparrer
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          No worries, good luck! If its of any interest I think I'll be bringing in another midprice where your fabregas is and using the surplus to get studge, Rooney or Costa in for Austin. His fixtures in the second half have tough games at home and I think the worm is turning.

          1. Crouch Potato!
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            He has scored against Chelsea, Arsenal, Southampton and City.

  12. nibby
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Who to get until Aguero's return?

    A. Rooney/Falcao - SOU, qpr, LEI

    B. Austin - bur, MUN, stk

    C. Ings - QPR, CRY, sun

    D. Giroud - STK, mci, AVL

    1. Concrete
      • 11 Years

      Rooney if no Costa

    Guys want to save my WC until later this month, but really want Chadli. What are your thoughts?

    What is the better option? Taking out Baines - Downing - Falcao for:

    1. Hutton - Yaya - Benteke

    Team is:
    Hart (Fabianski)
    Zab, Ivan, Yun, Shackell, Sakho

      I would say keep falcao, scored or assisted every time he starts and looked promising against stoke. I would avoid Liverpool defenders imo, swap for a WBA defender

    Are people playing or benching Naylor? My entire defence is away:

    Bego (bur)

    Hutton(lei) Zaba(eve) Bertrand(man)

    Maybe Naylor should take Bertrands place? Naylor has WHU at home

        Yeah, drop Sanchez when he's playing at home to Stoke, that seems sensible!

    Austin to Jovetic for FT?

    City has everton and arsenal next and both have shocking defenses

      Selling Austin(burn) is KRAZY.

      Kun is on his way back.
