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.

    OR

    B.

    Pantilliomon Hamer

    Hutton Terry Aanholt Wisdom BERTRAND

    Alexis Hazard Silva BOYD DI MARIA

    3. Forza

      Having Costa for a 3 match ban will bite you in da ass more. A as long as he isn't banned.

    Does fabregas injury look bad ?

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

      Yeah.

    2. wheato

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

      He walked off, so I wouldn't say so, but I can't tell. Still a better fantasy pick than Costa imo.

    Blue is the colour, football is the game
    We're all together, and winning is our aim
    So cheer us on through the sun and rain

    1. Not Irish

  5. Not Irish

    Please lose tomorrow, Ivory Coast. I'm lost otherwise.

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years

          • 12 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

          Need Bony back pronto.

  6. Konig Luther
    • 13 Years

    good to see Balotelli trying to play alone

  7. Breadbin
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Chelsea will lose to City, easy.

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

      could do.

  8. Elniñorules

    Wembley 🙂

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

      Nothing special about Wembley, apart from those streamlined beer queues.

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

    Absolutely gutted. This hurts, a lot.

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

      Coca Cola cup, irrelevant. Does that cheer you up?

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

      Really? The C1C?

      1. sinik
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        well considering typically the match vs United is their cup final..

    3. Jax
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      mega lolz.

  10. The Machine
    • 12 Years

    Mourinho going wild.

    Mickey mouse will be proud

    1. Captain Shirokov

      dont b jelly

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        nah mate, i'm yogurt.

  11. F4L
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    🙁 Liverpool just weren't good enough

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

      You could say Costa put his stamp on the game 😉

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        🙂

    2. Jax
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      no $hit

  12. seanie3
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Did Gerard and Terry shake hands at the final whistle?

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

      they went in with tongues

  13. Mr Arsenal
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    With Costa suspended against Man city, Drogba could be a good differential

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

      is he suspended?

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

        Will be no doubt with those pesky stamps

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

          nope.

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

    Aguero and Silva back in my WC draft

  15. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    For the love of Ivan!!!

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

      Now he can score and keep a cleenie... although it was extra time

  16. djenzio
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    even though we lost still proud of how Pool have been playing. When Sturridge is back we will be a force. Creating a lot now and held our own home and away to Chelsea.

    Mario needs to go. Ruins the team. Awful awful player for the type of football we play

  17. ktk_interista
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    If Costa is on 9YCs come GW26, any chance he is dropped so as not to risk missing the CoC final?

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

      He'll be suspended for that anyway.

  18. For Fuchs Sake
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    For one week, then WC: a)Silva to Di Maria b) Chester to Kosc Thanks

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

      b

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

    "We're on our way to Wembley"

    imagine the reaction if this was arsenal

  20. Lallana_
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    At least it was Ivanovic who scored. One of the few Chelsea players I like. Such a classy guy. I love the moment in the game where he shakes the refs hand when he gets a yellow card lol

    It was our fault not burying Chelsea in the first leg

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

      yeah we were the better team but a lack of finishing touch proved our downfall. story of our season really what with having no strikers

  21. Captain Shirokov
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Surely Mignolet deserves the MOTM over Courtois? 😕

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

      I thought Lucas deserved MOTM personally.

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

        nah hazard.

    2. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Willian was massive!

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

        true dat

      2. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Defo. Such an efficient footballer!

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

      Ivan

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

        didn't do much other than the goal.

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

    Would keep Ivanovic, but Azpi is only £6.0 ...

  23. pundit of punts
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    When City won the League Cup last season all the Chelsea fans were banging on about it being a micky mouse cup but I see that they're in full force tonight.

    lol

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

      League Cup has become less Micky Mouse. Better than no trophy

    2. ★FC Borecelona★
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      So true

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

      See how they celebrated? I'm actually flattered as a Liverpool fan 🙂

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

      We're still the only club who treats it like the Mickey Mouse Cup that it is.

      We know who we are. 😎

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

        See United v City 2010 😆 it's only that United hasn't reached a far enough stage to face one of the big teams in any cup competition in a really long time

    5. Nico.
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      It's because you only see the ones that celebrate 😆 in any case they're celebrating cause we beat a strong club like Liverpool, it could've been a meaningless league game after we'd already won the league and they'd still be celebrating the same way.

  24. ronmadpirlo
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Fallout. Fabregas injured. Some chance of a retrospective ban for Costa. Everyone tired for the weekend. Anything else?

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

      Sakho and Luis injured also

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

      Zouma knocking Cahill's confidence and match fitness.

      Azpi nailed on now may be bad. Rather play Luis

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

      lol

  25. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Ivan should have said to Shreeve "I thought you were going to tell me I'm banned for the final" 🙂

    1. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Don't think it was Shreeves was it?

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Stop letting the facts spoil a good joke 😡

        1. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

          oooooops

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

          Was it a good joke?

          1. The Bandit
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 2 months ago

            A lot better than the Asian cup one 😉

  26. Valar(Keith)
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    probable retrospective action.. 8 yellow cards.. a missing GW 27.. if there were options apart from Hazard Sanchez and Aguero to spend money on id swap Costa out this week in a hearbeat.. not sure where i'd use the money if i get rid though

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

      That last sentence is the problem.

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        may just take a very unnecessary, luxury punt on Adm for 5 weeks.. 3 home games and a swap to a chelsea mid after

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

          Falcao here. Not excited about it.

    2. Valar(Keith)
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Restructuring a team without him now on WC is far easier than later i without one i guess

    3. ktk_interista
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Monitor the Sturridge situation.

    4. sinik
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      depends on whether you have another WC or not!

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        no 🙁

  27. Sharkytect

    Stewart Downing is obe of the most transferred in players today. What's going on?

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

      😆 Chewbacca's ugly brother.

    soooooooo Sterling still looking 'eh' without Sturridge

    maybe I'll try and fit in Silva instead..
