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.

      Ticks most of the boxes 🙂

    2. Gooner97
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Sanchez or Cazorla.
      I wouldn't have bot

      1. JoeJitzu +42
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        I agree, why not Silva/Sterling/ADM instead?

      2. SC not pearls before swine
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        This is silly to me. Cesc and Hazard are the number 1 and 3 players in the game so far. Playing for the same team isn't necessarily a problem. If you think Sanchez is too expensive, fine. If you think Santi isn't a good option fine, but not having one because you have the other doesn't make sense.

    3. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Very nice indeed

    4. daveoafc77
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Id rather have ADM than Falcao

    5. Sting
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Not template enough

      Chadli + Cazorla > Silva + Sterling

    6. WorldCupDanB
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Have you got enough to do Falcao to Aguero? Also I wouldn't have both Sanchez and Cazorla either. I don't feel the same about Chadli and Kane for some reason but not sure why, maybe because they offer a lot more value.

    Probably old here...

    But jesus he is good!

    1. grapesland
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Hadnt seen it, good 🙂

    2. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      That's nothing. I saw a former Sunday 5-a-side player kick a "basket" nearly 10m up.

  3. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Just been playing around seeing what I could make if I pulled the trigger

    DDG 4m
    O'Shea Wisdom Clyne Terry Hutton
    Fab Haz Sanchez Eriksen Siggy
    Kane Austin Falcao

    With enough to change Falcao to Aguero in the bank. Looks quite tempting that an embarrassment of riches in the front 8 to choose from

  4. Big_Andy_GAWA
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Looking forward to seeing Moyes face up to Barça to oz 🙂

    1. UnderstandablyDistraught
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Hope he hammers them and by some great stroke of luck gets to play against man u in the EL next year and hammers them too

  5. Teror
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Completely stumped as to who to replace Yaya with. Already have Haz, Sanchez & Silva. Only midfielder that really speak to me at the min are Fab (already have 3 Chelsea) and Mane (off to ACON)

    Any advice, guys?

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

      Di maria

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

        When's that sumb.itch supposed to be back from injury?

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

          Soon, if he plays in the fa cup then I'll be looking to get him in

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

      Wait and hope for some good ADM news

    3. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Sterling /Chadli

  6. Big_Andy_GAWA
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Hopefully these FA Cup games throw up some nice DGW's in the weeks and months to come...!

    1. Gooner97
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      But only for City, so I can enoy another Zabaleta 0 point in 2 GWs

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Lol, I'd the same. Unreal, ain't it ?!

  7. Van Dal
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Any reason why i shouldnt do

    Yaya and Moore > Chadli and Terry for free?

    1. The Man Pastore
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      no

    2. Gooner97
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Chadli will never score that big 😉

      1. Van Dal
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        I will be happy with a goal or assist per game for that price. Only for 3 gw's max anyway till wc

  8. Big_Andy_GAWA
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    How in God's name haven't the FA charged / suspended Cahill for that kick and stamp ??!!

    1. Oz lotto
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      truly shocking. no idea

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

      Seems the rules don't apply to Cahill this season

    3. Sardines in the Sea
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      unreal and right in front of Mourinho...who apparently didn't see it!!!

    Transfer window has officially opened!

    What is your dream fpl move?

    1. Oz lotto
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I just want Kun to be fit

      1. grapesland
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Amen. The sole star of this league.

    2. Del Monte
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Ronaldo to Utd

      1. grapesland
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Guess they would have to price him at 16m to make it worth considering, otherwise all would be in

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

      Someone who can defend...

    4. Wouter
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Has got to be Messi to Burnley.

      1. grapesland
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        All those assists to Boyd yeah

        1. Gooner97
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Damn....

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

          They don't need Messi,they've got Boyd 😆

  11. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    I'd like some united cover but they LVG is a hard man to second guess. How does he squeeze ADM in, and at the cost of whom?

    Falcao got the hook around 60 as it was. In Berlin for New Year and I was bedridden New Years day so no idea how the various folks played either...

    1. The Non Flying Dutchman
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I wanted Falcao in my team but decided against after he was taken off despite being their best player on the day.

      1. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Really? Not encouraging is it?!

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

    Sub out Baines now to avoid price fall or let him drop 0.1 and transfer him out in a week (in case of injuries)

  13. Gooner97
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Would you sell Siggi or Downing?

    1. Oz lotto
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      same boat. no idea and am in a conundrum below.Tempted to sell both on WC haha

    2. So Klose
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Neither.

    3. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Sold Downing having bought him at 5.7 and am even considering Siggy who I've had since day 1. Might hold on to him a bit longer. Just a question of whether to downgrade to Boyd to free up cash.

      Downing fixtures stiffen strongly after next two, but I'd keep for those unless on WC

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

      Not me

    5. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Chadli is the value option now imo

  14. Boodey
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    any suggestion for a goal keeper priced 5.3 or less???

    1. Gooner97
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Heaton/Foster/Pantillimon

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

        Thanks

    2. dmhomag
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Krul back this GW

  15. Boodey
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Costa or Falcao??

    1. 50pipsDaily
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Costa

    2. The Non Flying Dutchman
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      To much rotation risk with all utd attackers except Rooney and ADM.

  16. Oz lotto
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    I can't help but feel this slide of mine is going to continue. I had one eye set on the top 10k and now I just want to hold rank! Any advice is much appreciated 😀

    Guzan Elliot
    Terry Naylor Dummett Berty Wisdom
    Fab Sanchez Siggy Downing Silva
    Austin Benteke Costa

    0.2 ITB!

    I would prefer to hold my WC but am open to it... thinking Tekkers --> Kane this week as Villa have been toothless going forward.
    Cheers lads 😀

    1. Gooner97
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Benteke to Kane and Fab to Haz?

  17. Del Monte
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Would love a frontline of Aguero, Sturridge, Falcao

    1. grapesland
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Who knows, could be the power 3 next month

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

      I'm wondering if we'll see Sturridge this season.

      1. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Agree.

  18. Jan Koller
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Begovic (4.0)
    Wisdom, Hutton, Jones, terry, clichy
    Boyd, fabregas, silva, siggy, Sanchez
    Kane, Costa, Austin

    Costa to jovetic + Boyd to hazard?

  19. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Why are Mourinho selling Schwartzer to Leicester? Are Chelsea bringing in a new keeper?

    1. Gooner97
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Yes Casillas

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

      Is he? Thought Schwarzer was part of the backroom staff there

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

      Is he older than Friedel?

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        42

  20. Niemi
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Looking for a late wildcard. Currently have 2FT and need to fix my defense:

    Azpilicueta (NEW, swa, MCI)
    Baines (MCI, WBA, cry)
    Zabaleta (eve, ARS, che)
    Hutton (lei, LIV, ars)
    Wisdom (HUL, eve, TOT)

    I could get away with no transfers this week, but it looks like Azpilicueta and Baines will go down 0,1 at least (Azpi needs to go down 0,2 for me). Zabaleta might go down too, and he is the one with the worst fixtures (and the biggest rotation risk?)

  21. 50pipsDaily
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Morning

    Im getting Terry in, who to ditch for?

    A) Baines
    B) Azpi
    C) Kolarov

    I have Hutton and Wisdom
    Thanks

      A. Form awful.

  22. Van Dal
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Terry's goals are like buses..

    1. grapesland
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I'll rather grab a taxi with maicon

  23. Camp No No
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Droppers, risers tonight?

    1. Van Dal
      • 16 Years

      Million dollar question mate. F

    2. Sardines in the Sea
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Apparently, Silva to rise and RVP to drop

  24. Plymouth
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Any consensus about when its most profitable to pop the january WC?

    1. grapesland
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      When you need it most, otherwise latest gw when the window has shut - not because of the headliners coming in, more because of the effect on small team defences etc

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

        Sounds good. What would you say about this teams shape atm then:
        http://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/1431532/event-history/20/

        1. grapesland
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Borderline wc material you got there imo, you obviously need to trade yaya this week, probably for Sanchez, and ride it thru

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

            Aright!

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

      If your team is very bad then now but if it looks OK then as late as possible will be best because you have more info than the players who used it earlier.

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

        Would you say this looks good enough for now? http://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/1431532/event-history/20/

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

          Yaya to Sanchez and you're good to go.

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

            Whats the situation on Yaya? He leaving for africa?

            1. grapesland
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 16 Years
              11 years, 1 month ago

              Yeah, he is leaving us for a month now

  25. Diva
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Quite a disparity between predicted risers and fallers on FFF and FPL Stats today. I guess wildcard moves are messing one or both of them up a bit.

  26. MARVELLUS
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Feels so....template, but is there anything better than Yaya and Sakho out for Hazard and Kane? Leaves me with no Man City coverage, and 3 Chelsea...
    Tempted by Ings too.

    Yaya Fabs Downing Siggy Sanchez
    Costa Austin Sakho

  27. thorvaldsson
    • 13 Years

    How does this WC team look?

    Hamer DDG
    Bertrand Cresswell Cameron Debuchy Wisdom
    Siggurdsson Sanchez Sterling Hazard Eriksen
    Kane Costa Pelle

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

      Sure you want the benching headache?
      Downgrade one to improve defence?

  28. Niemi
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Best defenders for next 3 GWs?

  29. Gooner97
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    I'feel sorry ditching Austin (I've had him before the hattrick) and Siggy(had him from the start)...

    1. grapesland
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Austin could harm you, he is still getting the big chances and will put some away as long as they pop up at his rate
