This evening, we roll out the quarter-final draw of the Fantasy Football Scout Cup X, as sponsored by Paddy Power, and take a look back at the key events during the seventh round ties.

With a score of 93 points, 66irons emerged from round seven as the top scoring manager, with his decision to captain Alexis Sanchez proving key. He earns himself £25 worth of free bets from Paddy Power and will now face bobbyg in the last eight.

United Nations, who has two top Gameweek score prizes already during the tournament and sits in 383rd spot overall, marches on. He now squares up to Harts Hotspurs, who is ranked 243,341 places behind his weekend opponent.

The highest ranked manager left in the competition is 73rd placed mjfdept, who faces 780th ranked Momalpashands in round eight. The remaining eighth round tie will see Wolverine take on CMIFLFC. This is another close encounter with just 528 places separating the pair.

Among our remaining eight contenders mjfdept is the only one wielding his winter wildcard this week, with the rest still to play it.

The full list of seventh round results can be found here, while the eighth 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.

    No Reid in squad? Injured?

    1. Andy1
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Apparently yes

      1. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Ta.
        Perhaps transfer related...

        1. Andy1
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Quite possibly.
          Arsenal?

          1. Wilshere Knowledge
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            Highly touted. I'm not convinced he is good enough though.. I' love to be proven wrong mind you.

    Please rate my draft league WC team:

    Foster (Panti)
    Terry, Gardos, Clyne (Trippier / Van Aanolt)
    Fabregas, Tadic, Di Maria, Sterling, Chadli
    Giroud, Aguero (Sanogo)

    Thanks! 😉

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years

      Needs Sanchez.

      1. Mind över Mata
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Can't have him - draft keeper league, and my mate has picked him

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

          Missed the draft part. Strong side.

          1. Mind över Mata
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            Thanks TM - would you go Austin instead of Giroud and get Wally instead?

            1. Jimbo123
              • 16 Years
              11 years, 3 months ago

              I went giroud over austin AND wally as well in my draft team...

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

              Don't know who is available in the draft so guessing you have the pick of what's left. Wally will do something good soon.

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

      When Giroud gets the starts he's sort of like Bony, and is similar price. Only worry is the amount of attackers Arsenal have.
      Sanogo is a hilarious choice

      1. Mind över Mata
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Agree, Sanogo might be but a cheap player - maybe Azoye

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

      when are you ever playing trippier? next 3 and then they are toast.

      1. Mind över Mata
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Fair point, it's just that he rotates well with Van Aanolt - any other ideas?

    4. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Hard to rate draft teams tbh.

      1. Mind över Mata
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        True enough - I think it's more about whether my of these players are poor choices

        1. Wilshere Knowledge
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Well, I'm not keen on Sanogo. He makes good runs, but his touch and finishing are dreadful. I'm not even sure he is good enough to start over Gayle/Chamack/Murray/Campbell. Then Gardos is very short term, and Trippier is useless after the next 3.

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

            Sanogo's first touch is SO ANNOYING when watching Arsenal.

            I agree about Gardos, sadly too short term, but I assume you don;t have the funds to go for Fonte/Berty

  3. Who Ate All Depays?
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Guys, help me to complete my WC team?

    Foster
    Terry / Berty / X
    Haz / Sanchez / ADM / X
    Aguero / Kane / X
    (Mccarthy / Marney / PVA / Wasi)

    A) Clyne, SIlva & Austin
    B) Baird, Chadli & Costa

  4. Bobsyauncle
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Aguero related advice if you may,

    I've played my WC already and saved enough money to do Austin > Aguero this week. The decision is now making me nervous... If i don't do it i wont be able to afford him after his next price rise. If i do, do it, Austin may get a nice haul and Aguero is taken off within 15mins injured. I am chasing a lead of 40 points, leader has same front 3 as me (with Austin).

    1. Chris_White
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      You are overthinking it. Just get him in.

    2. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Get Aguero.

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

      If you keep Austin, you'll still be 40 behind 😛

    4. Rafa is a Geordie
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Buy Aguero

  5. The Rock
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    WC or leave to next week?

    Heaton, Foster
    Terry, Hutton, Taylor, O'Shea, Yun
    Hazard, Fabregas, Erikson, Silva, Boyd
    Rooney, Benteke, Austin

    1.6 in the bank 1 FT

    1. daveoafc77
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      benteke :/ rest of the team looks ok

  6. Ibracadabra´s Spell
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Az --> Cresswell with FT (one week only)

    Yes or No??

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

      Yay

    2. Cesc, Drogs & Rock and …
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Deffo.

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

      Why not if you plan to use your Jan WC next week. Go for who ever you think will do best.

      1. Ibracadabra´s Spell
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Yep, ok and thanks. 🙂

    4. Ibracadabra´s Spell
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Ok, thank you all. 🙂

    5. Gooner97
      • 12 Years

      Jones

  7. Cesc, Drogs & Rock and …
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Thoughts on this team ahead of the weekend - am I wise to leave Wisdom on the bench?

    Heaton

    Clyne | Terry | Bertie

    ADM | Sanchez | Downing | Hazard

    Kane | Aguero | Austin

    -------------------------------------------------

    Pantilimon; Boyd, Wisdom, Hutton

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

      Clyne and Bertie offer greater attacking returns.
      I'd probably keep things how you have them

      1. Cesc, Drogs & Rock and …
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Cheers, mate.

    2. John Nerdelbaum
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Yep I'd double up if I could

  8. AlCapwnUK
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Next years must have forwards:

    Aguero and Lacazette

    1. Chris_White
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      and Messi

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

        oh yeah 🙂
        That would be a bank breaking front 3

        Shame the Messi one just isn't going to happen

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

      Who is Lacazette been linked with? Have this dream that he will sign for Southampton if they make Champions League, but will not happen in a million years.

      1. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        I've only seen Liverpool and Spurs linked.

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

        That would be incredible.
        Liverpool seem most keen, but come the summer any of the big sides that fancy a striker will be looking. Spurs should do anything they can to get him in, his pace would offer them another avenue of attack

      3. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Any club who will pay £25m.

      4. Lyonnais
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        City

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

    Anyone fancies puncheon on WC?

    might get him over chadli

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

      I might sell Sterling for him as a punt.

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

      Going Chadli at the moment, but this is the last move i am considering

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

      Do we think Chadli will rise another 0.1 before Saturday? Need it to happen to afford the last piece of my WC puzzle!

  10. FPL Daniel

    Thanks everyone for "hundred" replies on the previous page 🙁

    1. Wilshere Knowledge

      You're welcome.

    2. Davido989
      • 15 Years

      What's the question? I'll reply here

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

      Needs WBA & Baird to be playing/keeping CS for b.
      Depends on alternatives.

      1. Captain Shirokov
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        I thought LMS entry was at the beginning of the season?

      2. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        thanks tm

      1. Connor's Calling

        love that gif

  11. Jazz!
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Who to captain? Aguero or Kane!?

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

      Sergio

  12. Beatle
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    A lot of people seem to be bringing in Cameron on their WC teams. Isn't there a good chance that Barnsley will take his place now that he's back from injury?

    1. Beatle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      *Bardsley

  13. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    An Andy Carroll knock would make my Carroll to Aguero transfer a whole lot easier

  14. Cocky Spaniel Alves
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Play one?

    A) Gardos (new)
    B) Wisdom (eve)
    C) Hutton (LIV)

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

      Garcia

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

        Gardos. Lol

        1. Cocky Spaniel Alves
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          That's my thinking too atm.

    2. John Nerdelbaum
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      The one you've brought in this week...

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

        haha, this.
        If you are ever going to play Gardos it is this week

        1. Cocky Spaniel Alves
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Well, yes. But he's really mostly an enabler for Kun.

  15. XhakaCan
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Best goalkeeper to rotate with Pantilimon?

    1. Cesc, Drogs & Rock and …
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Al Pacino and Robert De Niro's classic.

      1. John Nerdelbaum
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Great film

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

        Heat-on?

        1. Cesc, Drogs & Rock and …
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          🙂

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

            Nicely done 🙂

        2. chrisdale98
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          That's my keepers as well! Great choice people haha

  16. Ibracadabra´s Spell
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    I will use my Jan WC after this weekend, so for this week only:

    Fabianski
    Baines - Cresswell - Bertrand
    Sánchez - Fab - Silva - Hazard
    Austin - Ings - Kane(C)

    G2G??

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

      Looks good to me

    2. ralfb
      • 11 Years

      Looks god

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

        Good i meant

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

      Yep, you might get stung by Aguero haul, but at least Silva might assist a few :p

      1. Ibracadabra´s Spell
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        He can start and do an awesome game but he can be benched and get some minutes and score one or benched and don´t scored, I will bring him in with my Jan WC in GW23, let´s see.

    4. Ibracadabra´s Spell
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Ok, thank you all. 🙂

  17. Caesar, Hot Mustache

    transfer cost when tinkering for your winter WC;

    Mine's -32.

    what's yours?

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

      -16

    2. Prime
      • 13 Years

      -32

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        -24

  18. Wilshere Knowledge
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Valencia down to 10 men after 10 minutes. 😀 Interesting..

  19. daveoafc77
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    If price changes did not exist would everyone still be getting Aguero now instead of in a couple of weeks time?

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

      Quite a few plan to captain him so price isn't the issue. They just think he will score the points.

      1. daveoafc77
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        might be foolish to underestimate Kun, but i dont think he'll rip it up quite so soon

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

          famous last words 😛

          1. daveoafc77
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            haha quite possibly!

    2. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I got him purely because of price. Would have preferred him after Chelsea.

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

        i think we are all really in this camp, if we are being honest.
        Against Chelsea he is not captaincy material

      2. daveoafc77
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        was adamant i was leaving him until that point too but seeing his ownership is only 12% the rising potential with a goal or two is madness

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

    Any changes needed to this team, thank you in advance

    Forster

    Terry Bertrand Trippier

    Sanchez Hazard Chadli Di Maria(v.c) Silva

    Kane RvP(C)

    Bench. Foster-Bruce-Hutton-Barnes

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

      If you feel confident in RVP over Aguero then you are good to go.

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

        As long as RVP injury free i am as i dont think Aguero in full mode yet obviously. Captain was between both man u player just which way for me!!

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

          both are not fully fit, but RVP has the match fitness that Aguero lacks.
          But Aguero has this habit of coming back from injury with hauls

    2. chrisdale98
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Well, RVP is injured

  21. Davido989
    • 15 Years

    Anyone else think making a bit of £ during a WC is a myth

    1. Prime

      It is this season.

      1. Davido989

          Price changes are slower and WC transfers don't seem to count.

      It's certainly changed this season. Using it early in the season is where the money gets made.

          No could rotate

    Which 2 to go with Hazard and Sanchez between Fabregas, Di Maria and Silva?

    1. PGR
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Silva, ADM

      1. Andy1

        11 years, 3 months ago

        I am thinking fab and adm
        But I've had fab since gw1, so I have plenty of funds in him

    A: Krul / Fonte / Terry / Clyne / Koscielny / 3.9
    Or
    B: Panti / Wisdom / Terry / Clyne / Koscielny / 3.9

    1. XhakaCan
      • 11 Years

      B

      How nailed on is Baird under Pulis?

        Don't know why?

  25. Koflok

    So how about this team?

    Foster
    Baines Terry Clyne PvA Baird
    Hazard Sanchez ADM Chadli Boyd
    Kun Kane Austin

    2.7m ITB

    Baines Chadli -> Wally Bertrand (or whoever in form then)

    I can get Chadli -> Silva if I downgrade Terry / Boyd.

    1. Koflok
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      fail, Baines Chadli -> Wally Bertrand in 2 GWs i meant. 😉

      It's weird seeing a team without three Chelsea 🙂

  26. Concrete

    Fab silva or Chadli?

    With RVP possibly nursing an injury and Falcao seemingly not important enough to the cause? Is it worth sticking with Rooney for the next couple of weeks?

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

      Depends if they continue playing ADM up front.

    2. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I'd say so.

    Would it be a very bad idea to double up on SUN + WBA defenders?? Feels wrong for fairly obvious reasons.

    Can do: Wisdom + Baird & Panti + PVA. Play one defender every week with Terry + Bertie.

      11 years, 3 months ago

      I've spread them out, feels wrong

        think you're probably right sadly. There's only so much Sir Tony can do!

    Hamer
