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.

    Darren Bent - My suggestion for someone who would drastically improve the BT Sport pundit team whilst also costing nothing in wages.

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

      He only scores goals. Does he know to commentate ?

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Wow!

        My reasoning is that he was always shoved out for the interviews on the basis that even if all he had done was make a sub appearance, on the basis that he can give decent answers

      2. Bedknobs and Boomsticks
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        He'd spend all the time trying to make his own points without setting anyone else up.

    2. Rats Ass
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Or just lock McManaman in a shed somewhere.

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Well the theory is that all off them get replaced and then were onto a winner.

        1. Rats Ass
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          I still like the idea of locking that bellend in a shed.

    3. Gooner97
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Only on loan

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

      Abou Diaby

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        To be fair he has spent a lot of time watching the games.

    5. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Prefer Stephanie Roche - at least we could enjoy looking at her.

  2. JÆKS ⭐
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    On wc this week:

    Forster (Hamer)
    Terry Bertrand Creswell (Wisdom PVA)
    Silva Sanchez Hazard ADM(VC) (Boyd)
    Austin Aguero Kane(C)

    Opinions on my team?

    1. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Looks good. Strong keeper, strong defense, 4 strong mids, and the non-Costa forward trio many of us have (I have this).

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Tnx mate!

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

      Whats your plan with Cresswell? After the Hull game this week he faces liv MAN sot tot.

      I've shipped him for Clyne on my WC at the moment.

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        I noticed that, gonne ship him for Janmaat after the Hull game

    3. super zlatan
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Lots of brackets

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        What do you mean?

  3. Gooner97
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Would you still do Austin to Kane?

    1. super zlatan
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah

  4. Bedknobs and Boomsticks
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    For your collective amusement, my recent captaincies:

    GW21 Hazard, NEW 3pts
    GW20 Austin, SWA 2pts
    GW19 Austin, CPL 2pts
    GW18 Fabregas, WHM 3pts
    GW17 Sanchez, liv 2pts

    Who would people like me to not captain this week?

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

      Austin

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

      Hutton

    3. The Nuttmxn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Hazard, thinking about Downing but will probably default to Hazard so don't do it.

    4. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I feel your pain, especially cause in all these weeks my VC did score... Sanchez last week for example, or the Austin hattrick...

    5. RyanC
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Kane

    6. Podge
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Change Fab to Giroud (-2) and you have mine 🙁

    7. Dušan Citizen
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Don't captain Kane or Aguero please

    8. SC not pearls before swine
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I feel you dog. I captained Bony weeks 18 and 17 🙁 So much pain

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

    Damn u early WC-ers now even Wasil will rise. Arrrhhhh

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

      Terry too, Berty last night. Frustrating to wait with WC in the pocket 🙁

    2. Rats Ass
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I thought WC transfers didn't count towards price changes?

    3. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Sorry☺

  6. Norco
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Why does the WC week have to be the most stressful of weeks.

    I am still unsure if I should go Kun+Costa upfront which would mean sacrificing a premium mid and premium defender or stick with Kun as the main man.

    I swear I'm knocking years off my life thanks the fantasy league and WC week!

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

      Please elaborate better the last sentence

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

        The volume of stress is running high. Stress kills :l

  7. Punty
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone higher than 341 on RMT?

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

      Yes

      340 others

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

        Uh, it's the predicted points total for next 6 gameweeks

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

          Oh is it

          Just as well that I don't use it

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

            What do you use?

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

              Instinct

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

                I see that is doing wonders

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

                  I'm happy

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

          Is RMT any good

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

            Relatively good, but can't be correct every time

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

      341.42 here.

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

        Nice, Aguero + Costa I assume?

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

          Kun yes, Costa no.

          Pants / Krul
          Terry Berty Clyne Pva Wasi
          Sanchez Haz Fab Silva Boydinho
          Kun Austin Kane

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

            Can get 343.24 with ADM+Ings instead of Silva+Austin

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

              Hmm ok, I have the same team but Costa, Sterling and chadli instead of Austin, Fab and silva

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

                Not bad, this is the dilemma I'm facing. Stick with Costa or downgrade my midfield/defence...

  8. Marouane Fellatio
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Can I get a RMWCT?

    Pantilimon, Hamer
    Bertrand, Jones, PVA, Wisdom, Wasilewski
    Sanchez, Hazard, Fabregas, Di Maria, Silva
    Aguero, Kane, Barnes

    I'm chasing so dropping Costa is a deliberate move

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

      If that is the reasoning for dropping Costa then I would drop Fabregas too for Sterling or similar, and upgrade PvA

      1. Marouane Fellatio
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah I've been toying with dropping Fabregas as I want the ability to use transfers on that spot. He also costs me the full price.

        Was toying with downgrading him and upgrading Jones to Terry. Would like to keep PVA.

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

          that works too

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

    Could I get some help with my last WC choice?

    A) ADM, Henderson, Koscielny

    or

    B) Silva, Chadli, Skrtel

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

      B

    2. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      ADM, Chadli and Kos possible ?

      1. Big Col
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Only if I downgrade Trippier to PVA as my 4th defender, is that worth doing?

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

          Yes

    3. The Nuttmxn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    11 years, 3 months ago

    Panti or Foster?

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

      Pants

    2. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Thanks my thinking too cheers

    3. walkman666

      Panti

  12. Ser Football 42
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Kane had an own oak against Sunderland last time

    Aguero scored against Arsenal

    History to repeat itself 🙂

    1. Ser Football 42
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Own goal**

    2. The Nuttmxn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      an own what?

    3. Rats Ass
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Won't happen - he's turned over a new leaf.

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

        Great work

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

        there's an acorn of truth in this

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

          He's certainly branched out since earlier in the season

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

      Nothing we didn't know

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

        Why is he being so stubborn?

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

          He's Dutch

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

          any change would take time, and going 442 or 433 doesnt mean they will be better.

        3. The Nuttmxn
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Because it's Louis Van Gaal, he's been stubborn wherever he goes, ask Rivaldo.

        4. Punty
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          He's a manager with a philosophy.. same problem as Rodgers up untill December.. And Wenger with his 4-1-4-1 earlier this season

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

            I seriously cant stand when a manager is described as having a philosophy

            It just means they arent able to adapt or grow as a tactician

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

              Agree but that's how it is with some of them

    2. The Nuttmxn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I really think Man UTD needed to be far more targetted in their purchases last Summer. Rather than thinking, where do we need the right person it was more of a which awesome players will show we can still sign premium people.

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

        Yup, the should've bought some good CMs instead of Dimaria and Falcao

      2. The Nuttmxn
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Take the players from last season

        De Gea
        Rafael X Smalling X
        Carrick X
        X Young/Nani
        Van Persie Rooney

        If you target a physical CB and CDM, a well rounded LB and a RM that is a fantastic side.

        1. Camp No No
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          A side with Nani, Smalling and Rafael in it is not fantastic.

          1. The Nuttmxn
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            O.K, I mean solid.

  13. Gideons Rolling Another One

    Is Krul rubbish?

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

      No, life is Krul

      1. Norco
        • 11 Years

        boomtish

      2. Gideons Rolling Another One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

        I see what you've done there. Krul to be kind!

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

          I have no Krul

    2. Dušan Citizen
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      No. Why?

      1. Gideons Rolling Another One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Because I am .2 short of my dream team and its either loose a key player or go from Pants to Krul! So debating if Krul is rubbish.

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

    Waiting for the end of the match and then getting Jenkinson for a hit. 🙂

  15. Ser Football 42
    • 11 Years

    Forster,
    Cresswell, Bertrand, Ivan, (Kelly, Wasilewski)
    Sterling, Downing, ADM, Fabregas, Sanchez
    Aguero, Costa, (Barnes )

    WCing after this GW.. How do I use my FT wisely:

    A austin to aguero
    B azpi to XX
