This evening, we roll out the semi-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 quarterfinals.

With a score of 62 bobbyg emerged as the top scoring manager during the quarter-finals, which took place during Gameweek 22. He easily saw off round seven’s top scorer 66irons  to progress and earn himself £25 worth of free Paddy Power bets.

His opponent in the semi-finals will be CMIFLFC , who beat  Wolverine in the quarter-finals. CMIFLC, who has an overall rank of 5,439, has activated his wildcard this week while bobbyg, who is ranked 663rd in the overall rankings, still has his to play.

The other semi-final will feature Momalpashands, who beat mjfdept in the quarterfinals, and Harts Hotspurs, the conqueror of United Nations. This will be something of a David and Goliath clash as, with a rank of 555th in the FPL game, Momalpashands is the competition’s highest placed manager, while Harts Hotspurs is the lowest, with a rank of 297,029. Both have yet to play their wildcard. Key differences in their current teams are Harts Hotspurs’s faith in Sergio Aguero and Branislav Ivanovic, while Momalpashands will be hoping Diego Costa and Cesc Fabregas will score well enough to see him through.

The full list of quarter final results can be found here, while the semi-final draw in full can be found here.

Good luck to all four managers left in the competition. 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.

    Cazorla IN - Silva OUT (Have Sanchez)
    Terry IN - Azpil OUT
    2 FT

    Worth it?

    1. Declan
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Azpi is back, Luis is injured.

    2. Gooner97
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Keep Azpil

    3. Manu5
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      No, neither is worth it

  2. Del Monte

    Away goals rules applies after extra time

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Hopefully it will be 1-1 by then

    2. Camp No No
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Doesn't it apply already after full time? Logically, should apply before, but not after extra time, otherwise it is unfair to the team that plays home last. And that's how it is in everywhere else.

      1. In Like Flynn.
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Interesting. I hadn't given it much thought before. Makes sense.

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

        The home team gets the advantage o playing at home for the extra 30 mins.

        1. Camp No No
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

          Sure, but the other team gets the home advantage to the match in which they start from 0-0. They can use that advantage to go to the second match with a lead, which forces the opponent to open their game, and gives them better chances to score the away goal.

          Which is actually THE reason why the away goal system should be abandoned, particularly in UEFA games where the 2nd placed team gets the home advantage first always.

      3. Ginkapo FPL
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Yup, but this is league cup and so away goal rule only applies after extra time.

      4. Lawrø
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah. This way one team has 120 minutes of away goal potential whereas the other has 90 minutes... It just doesn't make sense.

        1. Camp No No
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

          Exactly.

  3. wheato
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Away goals after extra time really is a load of tripe.

    1. xuwei
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Ditto

    2. The Machine
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Better than away goals at 90

      1. Camp No No
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        No it is not.

  4. Pringle
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Liverpool is tough to break down defensively. Another argument for Kane out I think.

    1. bigwig
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Why is that?
      Spurs/Kane has shown they can score against anyone

    2. Lawrø
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      😆

    3. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years

        1. Ginkapo FPL
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

          You know your club is in a shite state when your relying on your opponents being too shell shocked to play.

          1. Stupendous
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 2 months ago

            Yea Manchester City Football Club are in such a dire state.

            Shocking really

    2. Gooner97
      • 12 Years

  8. Bubz
    • 12 Years

    Chelsea are going to be knackered for the big match on Sunday

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      They'll be fine.

    2. Camp No No
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      It's Sunday, come on.

      1. Stupendous
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        It is Saturday

        1. Bubz
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

          Even worse

      2. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Saturday evening actually. But yeah Chelsea have got plenty of time to recover and its not like they are flying back from UAE a day before the game...

    3. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      That's not this week. They only have city this week.

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

      It's only Tuesday ffs!

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        he must have meant Sterling.

      2. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        120 minutes, injuries, psychological damage. Sell your Chelsea assets people!

    5. Here's Tom with the We…
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Think it's sat

  9. The Machine
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Liverpool to throw everyone forward now. Eve if they concede one doing that it won't make much of a difference

  10. Back to Back Ballacks

    Bojan finally getting his comeuppance, lost about 0.4 on him at start of season,
    #Comeuppance

    Comeuppance I tell ya

  11. Gooner97
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    When the feck will we announce Gabriel?
    Campell loan also confirmed

    1. A guy
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      We're by far the slowest updating club site of them all.

      1. Gooner97
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Medical are taking 5 days as always, or Gabriel is walking backwards from Spain to London

  12. Not Irish
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    I can't get over that. Oliver was literally afraid to look Ivanovic in the eye and book him so gave him a token handshake in the process.

    Oi vey.

    1. The Machine
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Olivier needs more balls

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

        Any at all would be an improvement methinks.

  13. Delhidynamo
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    So if the score stays the same do we get pens or Chelsea wins?

    1. Gooner97
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Chelski win

    2. WHY ALWAYS MESUT?
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Chelsea wins.

      1. Delhidynamo
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        What a stupid rule

    3. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Only way we get pens is if it finishes 1-1

  14. A guy
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Guys, do you reckon Costa is going to get a ban for stamping? He should, but you never know with the FA...It would also make my fantasy decisions much easier.

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

      Thats a great point, wonder if anyone's brought it up tonight?

      1. A guy
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Great response. IDK about you, but I didn't plan to be on FFS throughout the whole game to check all of the comments posted in the comment section.

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

      Probably not.

      Hard to actually prove he did it on purpose, although he obviously did.

  15. @ocprodigy

    Sterling is gonna need another trip to Jamaica after this.

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah, but only because I like pens
