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.

    What do you make of this wildcard team in a couple of weeks?

    Feeling excited. Ha!

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

      Good bones. Don't think Trippier should be there though..especially in a couple weeks when you miss out on this good run.

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

      don't give yourself a rotation headache..

    3. Congressman
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Not convinced about Tadic.

    4. La Roja
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Tadic and trippier? Not sure on them. Plus i can see another Kane incident potentially with that front 8

      1. Joga Bonito®
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        That's annoying I know. I just see Saints fixtures and can't ignore them as an attacking threat.

        1. Joga Bonito®
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Sorry, referring to Tadic, pick, otherwise is switched him for a cheapie mid.

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

    Been an awful few days.

    Hope there's something good around the corner! Goodnight all, be thankful for what you have 🙂

    1. La Roja
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Amen

    2. Walsh

      Night BF.

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

        Walsh mate would you quickly mind having a look at my team on the previous page? Bottom comment?

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

          Sure bud.

  4. Doctor X
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone with a fair idea of how much game time James Ward-Prowse will get from this point onwards?

    Looking at him instead of Boyd as my 5th mid.

    1. Joga Bonito®
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      He'll be ok for now I think but when Mane gets back from ACON he'll be out again.

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

      He will be rotated with Davis

  5. Mr. Grv
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    start Hutton or wisdom?

    1. La Roja
      • 13 Years

            • 15 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            Pulis said hi 2 days ago.

            1. La Roja
              • 13 Years
              11 years, 1 month ago

              He is way too attacking RB for Pulis

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

            now they have a coach , gamboa will start for just 4.2

            1. La Roja
              • 13 Years
              11 years, 1 month ago

              Yes, pulis always check FPL prices before he fields a team

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

        2. Billy Gilmore
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Bit too adventurous for Pulis, you'd think.

  6. Not Irish
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    When is ACON over?

    1. Timtastic03
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      No idea. Check the article - could see some players back early (group stage exits)

      Already done. DDG went up, Rodriguez and Dummett down

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

        Wow cheers guys. Can hold off on wildcard for hazard a bit longer,,,

  8. ZolaBackheel
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Pick one before WC (3 gameweeks max) :

    1. Sterling
    2. Chadli
    3. Silva

    Thank you people.

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

      2

    2. Joga Bonito®
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Sterling.

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

      Chadli for me.. best goal scoring midfielder on natural ability in the premiership in my opinion, confidence will be sky high. Looks like he could be a real world beater. City back with a recognised striker now so the Silva output may well drop. May not agree but I think the Gerrard retirement will hit the squad moral at Liverpool and I really feel Sterling is close to burn out, just my opinion.

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

        Thanks Man.

        I'm leaning towards Chadli. Looking at last game vs Chelsea, he made Ivanovic looks like amateur.

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

      Chadders!

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

      1

    6. ZolaBackheel
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Wow Thanks.

      I'm so torn between Sterling and Chadli (already has Kane).

      Both have decent fixtures ahead, so it's a matter of guts then.

      *sigh

  9. PotentialPrudential
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    RMT guys? Wildcard is active

    Lloris

    Clichy Terry Cissokho

    Silva Fabregas Chadli Hazard Downing

    Ings Rooney

    Bench - Guzan Kane Clyne O'Shea

    1. La Roja
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      So u wanna bench Kane...

      Sigh

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

      Never bench Kane

    3. Joga Bonito®
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Fabs and Hazard doesn't seem good to me. you made a plan to get Aguero in yet?

      1. Billy Gilmore
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        What's not good about having 2 of the highest scoring players in the game?

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

      Dump Lloris, Clichy, Cissokho, Fabregas, Downing. Get a pulis defender, a cheaper keeper, a cheap fifth mid and Sanchez. Whatever's left from that goes into forwards - save for Rooney to Ageuro first, then look at options over Ings

  10. La Roja
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Start 3 out for 5

    JT
    Zaba
    Clyne(assuming he will be fit by then)
    Hutton
    Chester

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

      JT Zab Hutton

      1. LWO23
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        This

    2. Timtastic03
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      1,4,2

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

        Sorryyyy edit that team, Kane in for Ings.. typo!

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

          Fantastic 😆

        2. La Roja
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Wow. How is that crack of yours u purchased today?

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

      JT Zab Hutton

    4. Timtastic03
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      That being said, Clyne could run over Shaw. Close between him and Zab

      1. La Roja
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        I'm thinking to bench Hutton. lei is started to score and it is a must win for them

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

      I like that mate..

      1. La Roja
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Another strike 😆

      2. Billy Gilmore
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        😆

        1. La Roja
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          😯

          1. Billy Gilmore
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            lol

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

    Hazard or Sanchez?

    1. Arctic monkeys
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Hazard, but why not both ?

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

        Cant afford both...want to get Cesc.

        Also, giroud will take points away from Sanchez when back..i think

        1. Arctic monkeys
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          If you are getting Hazard, i think it's a better idea to go Sanchez Over fabregas.
          Giroud took points from Sanchez Only 2 or 3 gws when alexis was really tired.
          thats how i see things.

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

      Hazard...but both, really.

      1. LWO23
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        This

  12. Timtastic03
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    If you thought you'd stumbled upon the perfect WC template, would you ask to RMWCT?

    1. Not Irish
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Nope.

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

      Of course. The point of these forums is to ask for and give help. Others points of view should always be welcome and in reality when up against hundreds of thousands it means little even if someone copies it there are still 15 more gameweeks of management and decisions to be done.

      1. Timtastic03
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        A lot of the players near the top are in the FFS league but don't post, reckon they lurk. Is it worth giving up a team you've spent a while looking into? On your side of the argument most weeks but a little extra research into a WC team can go a long way

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

          Yeah I guess I just don't really care. Honestly, for me, a large part of fun I get out of playing FPL is participating and coming onto these forums 🙂

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

          Keep it. They lurk alright... they make a post once in an age to boast about their rank then disappear.

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

      Why not ?

    4. Joga Bonito®
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      The reason for asking though is that what you think is perfect can always be picked apart and analysed be people on here. Id rather hear people ripping my team apart than think I've nailed it and fall on my face.

  13. Captain Shirokov
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Damn you Muppet, now I'm tempted by Downing to Lamps!

    1. Timtastic03
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Downing's fixtures aren't great. Not sure I'd get Lamps to replace him but definitely get rid

      1. Captain Shirokov
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Maybe AJ?

        1. Billy Gilmore
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Upgrade to another big hitter. Surely you have the cash lying around.

        2. Timtastic03
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Not for me. Wouldn't ever really want to play him over the other 7 and too expensive to warm the bench

    2. Not Irish
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      👿

    3. Gloria Kanchelskis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Downing to Chadli?

  14. LWO23
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    On WC and need one defender from Jones, Debuchy and Gibbs. Any strong feelings? Thanks.

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

      Debuchy of that lot, but I'd be tempted to look elsewhere entirely 😀

      1. LWO23
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks. You might be right. Don't feel overly inspired.

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

      Jones for his fixtures

      1. LWO23
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Think I am leaning that way. Just know he is an injury waiting to happen.

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

      ... Why?

      Che/sou/sun/avl/wba back 5 for me. But/new also considered.

  15. Captain Shirokov

    Luke Shaw a way into Man U defense?

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

      Not for me. I still don't see an option I would want to go for there.

      1. Jarvis
        • 12 Years

        Hasnt really been given a chance this season. Will monitor

          • 12 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Hah - no - honest opinion. I see enough changes that I would want to WC that. Will be playing catch up and drop in the ranks the next couple I think with that lot 🙂

    Is Terry gonna get rest for Cup ? Not sure to wait for one more day after the game or get him before his price rises..

    Panti/Heaton
    Wisdom Hutton Terry Bertrand Cameron
    Hazard Fabregas Downing Alexis Boyd
    Falcao Kane Jovetic

    What do you think of this WC team with Jovetic to Kun already planned ?

    1. La Roja
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I like it except Falcao and Downing.

      Rooney and chadli?

      1. Arctic monkeys
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah i'm Concidering Chadli over downing.
        But i like Falcao over Rooney as the latter keeps on playing deep.

        1. La Roja
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          But it seems LVG hates the former 🙂

            Saved Man U from two losts against Villa and Stock he played all boxing day games, can t say that he hate him that much 😀

      Solid team, not sure about Cameron though

      1. Arctic monkeys

        Cheers.

    3. Walsh

      Looks good. Without looking at rotations that backline has a lot of names I like though, AM. Falcao I am still not sure of but if you like him then go for it. Could pay off.

      1. Arctic monkeys
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        who should replace Falcao in your opinion ?

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

          I'd probably go for Costa and switch Fab to someone different.

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

      Cresswell

    2. Walsh
      • 12 Years

  22. Volk

        Nope

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

          Play Moreno and bench Baines and save ft

    2. Optimus.
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I think you can save WC for another gw

  25. fedolefan

    Will need to make a Cresswell to 5.0m defender transfer to get in Sanchez. Hardly any good fixtures this game week. Hating this transfer already.

    1) Moreno
    2) Trippier
    3) Reid

    Thoughts?

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

      2

    2. Optimus.
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Wisdom or Taylor could be worth a look

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

      I think getting a 5m or even a 4m will be worth it to fit in a player. Dont think you should limit yiurself for the sake of a Burnley defender

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

        Ah west ham I mean 😳 spemt too long thinking of Trippier

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

        I meant I will have 5.0m in the bank to downgrade from Cresswell.

  26. Sol

    recent team

    Fabianski
    Azpi Zab Hutton Wisdom Yun
    Shanchez Hazard Siggy Silva
    Kane Austin Costa

    Yun > Clyne
    Azpi > Terry
    Elahmedi > Boyd

    1. Wiz

    U really tink I need to WC? Was lookn on here earlier and a lot of WC about to b played are trying to get team I have so now I'm more confused then evr

  29. Ando

    I've decided against using my WC this week and instead used my 2FT to do the following:

    Yaya --> Fab

    &

    Steven Fletcher --> Ings

    Probably the sensible thing to do yeah?

  30. PotentialPrudential
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Looking at the upcoming fixtures.. Silva & Downing > Tadic & Sterling..

    Other midfield is Hazard, Fab & Chadli

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

      Would you guys do it?

    2. zencro 42
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Tadic is frustrating to own, Sterling due for rest soon

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

      Sanchez & Boyd

    4. Patty
