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
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Apparently yes

      1. Wilshere Knowledge
        11 years, 9 months ago

        Ta.
        Perhaps transfer related...

        1. Andy1
          11 years, 9 months ago

          Quite possibly.
          Arsenal?

          1. Wilshere Knowledge
            11 years, 9 months ago

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

  2. Mind över Mata

    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! 😉

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      11 years, 9 months ago

      Needs Sanchez.

      1. Mind över Mata
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 9 months ago

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

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          11 years, 9 months ago

          Missed the draft part. Strong side.

          1. Mind över Mata
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            11 years, 9 months ago

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

            1. Jimbo123
              11 years, 9 months ago

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

            2. TorresMagic™
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              11 years, 9 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
      11 years, 9 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
        11 years, 9 months ago

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

    3. Christina.
      11 years, 9 months ago

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

      1. Mind över Mata
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 9 months ago

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

    4. Wilshere Knowledge
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Hard to rate draft teams tbh.

      1. Mind över Mata
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 9 months ago

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

        1. Wilshere Knowledge
          11 years, 9 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
            11 years, 9 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?
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 9 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
    11 years, 9 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
      11 years, 9 months ago

      You are overthinking it. Just get him in.

    2. Wilshere Knowledge
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Get Aguero.

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      11 years, 9 months ago

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

    4. Rafa is a Geordie
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Buy Aguero

  5. The Rock
    11 years, 9 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
      11 years, 9 months ago

      benteke :/ rest of the team looks ok

  6. Ibracadabra´s Spell
    11 years, 9 months ago

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

    Yes or No??

    1. BabyB
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Yay

    2. Cesc, Drogs & Rock and …
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Deffo.

    3. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      11 years, 9 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, 9 months ago

        Yep, ok and thanks. 🙂

    4. Ibracadabra´s Spell
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Ok, thank you all. 🙂

    5. Gunner77-
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Jones

  7. Cesc, Drogs & Rock and …
    11 years, 9 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
      11 years, 9 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, 9 months ago

        Cheers, mate.

    2. John Nerdelbaum
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Yep I'd double up if I could

  8. AlCapwnUK
    11 years, 9 months ago

    Next years must have forwards:

    Aguero and Lacazette

    1. Chris_White
      11 years, 9 months ago

      and Messi

      1. AlCapwnUK
        11 years, 9 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, 9 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
        11 years, 9 months ago

        I've only seen Liverpool and Spurs linked.

      2. AlCapwnUK
        11 years, 9 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
        11 years, 9 months ago

        Any club who will pay £25m.

      4. Lyonnais
        11 years, 9 months ago

        City

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

    Anyone fancies puncheon on WC?

    might get him over chadli

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      11 years, 9 months ago

      I might sell Sterling for him as a punt.

    2. AlCapwnUK
      11 years, 9 months ago

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

    3. Chris_White
      11 years, 9 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
    11 years, 9 months ago

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

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      11 years, 9 months ago

      You're welcome.

    2. Davido989
      11 years, 9 months ago

      What's the question? I'll reply here

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      11 years, 9 months ago

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

      1. Captain Shirokov
        11 years, 9 months ago

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

      2. FPL Daniel
        11 years, 9 months ago

        thanks tm

      1. Connor's Calling
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 9 months ago

        love that gif

  11. Jazz!
    11 years, 9 months ago

    Who to captain? Aguero or Kane!?

    1. Davido989
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Sergio

  12. Beatle
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 9 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
      11 years, 9 months ago

      *Bardsley

  13. Davido989
    11 years, 9 months ago

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

  14. Cocky Spaniel Alves
    11 years, 9 months ago

    Play one?

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

    1. Davido989
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Garcia

      1. Davido989
        11 years, 9 months ago

        Gardos. Lol

        1. Cocky Spaniel Alves
          11 years, 9 months ago

          That's my thinking too atm.

    2. John Nerdelbaum
      11 years, 9 months ago

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

      1. AlCapwnUK
        11 years, 9 months ago

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

        1. Cocky Spaniel Alves
          11 years, 9 months ago

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

  15. XhakaCan
    11 years, 9 months ago

    Best goalkeeper to rotate with Pantilimon?

    1. Cesc, Drogs & Rock and …
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Al Pacino and Robert De Niro's classic.

      1. John Nerdelbaum
        11 years, 9 months ago

        Great film

      2. XhakaCan
        11 years, 9 months ago

        Heat-on?

        1. Cesc, Drogs & Rock and …
          11 years, 9 months ago

          🙂

          1. XhakaCan
            11 years, 9 months ago

            Nicely done 🙂

        2. chrisdale98
          11 years, 9 months ago

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

  16. Ibracadabra´s Spell
    11 years, 9 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
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Looks good to me

    2. ralfb
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Looks god

      1. ralfb
        11 years, 9 months ago

        Good i meant

    3. AlCapwnUK
      11 years, 9 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, 9 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, 9 months ago

      Ok, thank you all. 🙂

  17. Caesar, Hot Mustache
    11 years, 9 months ago

    transfer cost when tinkering for your winter WC;

    Mine's -32.

    what's yours?

    1. Davido989
      11 years, 9 months ago

      -16

    2. Prime
      11 years, 9 months ago

      -32

      1. FPL Daniel
        11 years, 9 months ago

        -24

  18. Wilshere Knowledge
    11 years, 9 months ago

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

  19. daveoafc77
    11 years, 9 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
      11 years, 9 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
        11 years, 9 months ago

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

        1. AlCapwnUK
          11 years, 9 months ago

          famous last words 😛

          1. daveoafc77
            11 years, 9 months ago

            haha quite possibly!

    2. Wilshere Knowledge
      11 years, 9 months ago

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

      1. AlCapwnUK
        11 years, 9 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
        11 years, 9 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
    11 years, 9 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
      11 years, 9 months ago

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

      1. Vman
        11 years, 9 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
          11 years, 9 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, 9 months ago

      Well, RVP is injured

  21. Davido989
    11 years, 9 months ago

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

    1. Prime
      11 years, 9 months ago

      It is this season.

      1. Davido989
        11 years, 9 months ago

        How?

        1. Davido989
          11 years, 9 months ago

          Reply fail

          1. Prime
            11 years, 9 months ago

            nvm then 😀

        2. Prime
          11 years, 9 months ago

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

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      11 years, 9 months ago

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

    3. Connor's Calling
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 9 months ago

      i always try and make 0.1 and i rarely manage it...

      that said, Austin rising last night has given me a 0.1 i didnt expect!

  22. ralfb
    11 years, 9 months ago

    Silva boyd or chadli sterling

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      11 years, 9 months ago

      2nd

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        11 years, 9 months ago

        If forced to play both.

        1. ralfb
          11 years, 9 months ago

          No could rotate

  23. Energetics
    11 years, 9 months ago

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

    1. PGR
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Silva, ADM

      1. Andy1
        11 years, 9 months ago

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

  24. Gideons Rolling Another One
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 9 months ago

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

    1. XhakaCan
      11 years, 9 months ago

      B

    2. Latvietis
      11 years, 9 months ago

      How nailed on is Baird under Pulis?

      1. Gideons Rolling Another One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 9 months ago

        Don't know why?

  25. Koflok
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 9 months ago

    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
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 9 months ago

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

    2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      11 years, 9 months ago

      It's weird seeing a team without three Chelsea 🙂

  26. Concrete
    11 years, 9 months ago

    Fab silva or Chadli?

  27. The Blackadder
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 9 months ago

    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
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Depends if they continue playing ADM up front.

    2. Wilshere Knowledge
      11 years, 9 months ago

      I'd say so.

  28. Connor's Calling
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    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.

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