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.

    Anyone just risking Baird as only West Brom cover. Their short term fixtures don't look to appealing? How solid were palace whem he took over?

      Surely pognoli is first choice when fit. Hes actually decent.

    WC team done

    Krul Panti
    Terry Bretrand Hutton Baird VanAnholt
    Silva ADM Sanchez Hazard Boyd
    Augero Kane Austin

    Pretty template team, would prefer to have Fab instead of Silva but my team value wasn't great and I dont wanna downgrade my defence, so I will just hope Silva continues his form.

    What do you guys think?

    1. d1sable

      Close to mine so i like it

    is this too greedy for front 8?

    Alexis Fab Silva/ADM Downing Chadli
    Kun Costa Kane

    thinking to downgrade chadli (who i only recently brought in) to updgrade a defender

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

      Downgrade Downing

      1. RÏÉ BY
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        it's tempting but i've had him for ever.. stoopid loyalties 😉

    2. Norco

        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        true, they probably won't sell

    Lukaku is wasted at Everton..

    1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…

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

        No, but Barkley is, which is just as bad.

      3. Gooner97
        • 12 Years

    Foster, (Myhill)

    God this whole year has just been dreadful. I pray we can find any semblance of form before the Euro League picks back up, we've actually put ourselves in good shape for that one and it's all that's left.

    Chances of Hamer staring this weekend?

    1. Demí

      pretty certain he will

      1. Chambo
        • 11 Years

        What about Shwarzer?

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

          Will have to wait. Hamer's done nothing to justify dropping him for

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

            true

        1. Demí
          • 15 Years

          Think so

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

    Would you still do Austin to Kane??

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

      I'd give it a think, WC left or not?

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

        Still available

    11 years, 3 months ago

    Guzan Panti
    Terry Bertrand Gardos Wisdom Wasilewski
    Hazard Sanchez ADM Downing Boyd
    Aguero Costa Kane

    Would it be madness to replace Wisdom with a dead 3.8 defender and Gardos with Clyne?

    1. joe259
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      yes

      1. joe259

    How is Downing playing?

    1. SweeSwee
      • 11 Years

      What did he do?

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

        Its an honest question, read the "how" with different intonation.

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

      Solid, not so amazing now but looked up for penetrating defenses.

    Taylor to Gardos?

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

      The only thing that bothers me is that he will probably lose his place to whoever returns first: toby or yoshida.
      That means spending 2 transfers in 3-4 weeks to get him in and out.

      1. joe259
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        thanks. that helped. i was gonna get him

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

          It's just one side of the story.the other is that it's possible he will probably double rise due to almost non existing ownership.

          1. joe259
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            Toby is out for a month. Yoshida will be out till 31st (I see Japan going all the way till the finals). So he will be in the squad for just 2 weeks. It's not worth it.

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

              There you go.
              I wont bring him in too then 🙂

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

    assist?

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

    So who are people getting in defence instead of Alderweireld?

    I'm looking for another solid option (week in week out) for similar price, ideas?

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

      Cameron / gardos / jones maybe?

  23. S.Kuqi
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Haven't seen Jones in wc teams lately. Their fixture look good for clean sheets.

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

      Jones's fitness is like dunking BN's in tea, your just waiting for the first to disintegrate and ruin your beverage.

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

        BN's? Their pretty solid. Definitely Digestives

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

      He's too injury prone for me

  24. Hypnos
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Barnes or Naismith?

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

      Ings

    1. The Nuttmxn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      the fact that we are still listening to this man means it hasn't changed much over the last 10 either.

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

        but he's right

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

          Not really, his band are part of the reason for the decline of Indie.

  25. DanWills
    • 11 Years

    Downing to Dusan after this GW?

    1. gaz1185
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      That's my plan, played my WC & left 1.2 extra to make that transfer

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

      Not bad, still not a fan of Tadic but he's getting better.

  26. DrunkPhilosophy

    11 years, 3 months ago

    Ok one last time before logging off, having your WC active keeps you up all night!

    A) Terry - Hazard - Silva - Austin

    OR

    B) Clyne - Fabregas - Johnson - Costa

    Currently on A, but tempted by B

    1. The Generalator
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      wow tough one
      Costa always seems to grind out the goals at the end of seasons, but Silva on form!

  28. Ibracadabra
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Hi all, for free this week (2 FTs) for the next 2 weeks only until I WC.

    Azpilicueta (groin) + Siggy (foot) I plan to transfer out.

    My two options:

    1. F. Luis + Di Maria OR
    2. J. Terry + Eriksen

    Luis is obviously extremely short term and may not even start week 2 (but that is against Man City) if Azpi is fit. Di Maria is just returning from injury and may not get the full 90 minutes but looked lively in the loss to Southampton in the first half - just not sharp. Eriksen has blanked three weeks in a row, but has 2 tremendous fixtures and with set pieces, will surely bring a goal or assist over the next two. Difficult.

    1. Birds of Prey
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      2

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

      Have you considered a Southampton defender? It seems they're more likely to get a clean sheets over the next two than Chelsea.

      But I guess that might not be affordable because the second part of my answer is to get Di Maria. Fixtures look significantly better to me.

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

        Yes, I've considered Gardos as well - just unsure of Di Maria vs Eriksen - have had both already this season and Eriksen is always involved in the build up to the attacks and scores sporadically, so with 3 straight blanks, I expect him to come good in the next to weeks based on the eye test, while Di Maria is obviously another class but Manchester United looked poor at home on Sunday.

  29. Hibbopotamus
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    How do I safely get ADM or Silva into this WC team? Can I without losing Costa?

    Heaton, Hamer
    Terry, Cresswell, PvA, Wisdom, Wasi
    Sanchez, Hazard, Siggy, Downing, Boyd
    Costa, Aguero, Kane

    0.6 ITB

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

      Lose Terry...

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

      Ship Cresswell in my opinion, he only has one decent fixture in the next five.

    3. Black Knights
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Downgrade Cresswell and Boyd and upgrade Siggy? Then you'd have my team.

    4. Birds of Prey
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Birds of Prey
      siggy >adm

      costs 2.7

      down grade cresswell > Dummett--rotates w pva

      still 1.4

      Terry> 5.2 i'd say Ald if healthy gotta give up a lot on defense but way similar to my team:

      Heat-Hamer
      Coloccini/PvA Cam/Naylor Bruce
      AdM-Fab-Haz-Sanchez-lucas
      Kane-Ag-Costa good luck
