This evening we preview the final and third place play-off matches of the Fantasy Football Scout Cup X, as sponsored by Paddy Power, and take a look back at the key events during the semi-finals.

CMIFLFC, who is 3381st overall, eased past 731st ranked bobbyg in the semi-finals. His score of 82 was also the round’s top score, which earns him £25 worth of free Paddy Power bets.

The other semi-final saw Momalpashands, who is ranked 389th in the world, see off 278,180th ranked Harts Hotspurs in what was the round’s David versus Goliath clash. Momalpashands’ impressive score of 81 proved too much for our plucky minnow’s tally of 59.

The final between Momalpashands and CMIFLFC is finely balanced thanks to both already playing their winter wildcard during Gameweek 23.

Of the pair, CMIFLFC already has Gameweek 24’s standout captaincy choice Sergio Aguero, who faces Hull City at home, in his team.

But while Momalpashands opted to go without the Manchester City striker on his wildcard he has shrewdly kept enough in the bank to draft him in in place of Olivier Giroud and that move looks the likeliest scenario. Momalpashands also has David Silva in his team, another good option in Gameweek 24, which may give him the edge.

Among CMIFLFC’s key differentials are Santi Cazorla, Jonathan Walters, Jason Puncheon, Graziano Pelle and Nathanial Clyne. He should also have Olivier Giroud to call on as a differential should Momalpashands swap him out.

Momalpashands will be hoping his differentials, including Theo Walcott, Saido Berahino, Harry Kane and Cesc Fabregas, will be enough to win.

Meanwhile, the squads involved in our third place play-off clash is less clear, with both bobbyg and Harts Hotspurs still keeping their winter wildcards back for Gameweek 24.

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.

    Raheem Sterling limping

    1. Lucy.
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Looks alright to me...

      1. womf
        11 years, 9 months ago

        He keeps changing his mind haha

  2. Hypnos
    11 years, 9 months ago

    Ramsey a considerable differential?

    1. Lucy.
      11 years, 9 months ago

      As in 'not a good idea'? Yes.

    2. BIG TONES
      11 years, 9 months ago

      So many better options...

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

      imho....he is the most nailed on of all the Arsenal Mids. I really like the punt actually.
      I am very much considering him on my WC.

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

    Differential? Maybe. Considerable? No

  4. Demel
    11 years, 9 months ago

    Do we think that Haidara is nailed on when Dummet returns?

    1. Lucy.
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Dummet has been playing CB a lot, rather than full back.

      1. Demel
        11 years, 9 months ago

        Has he got any serious competition?

    2. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
      11 years, 9 months ago

      No. Though it is worth noting that Dummett can play CB, his most likely position is LB...

      1. Lucy.
        11 years, 9 months ago

        True.

        I'd say Haidara's not nailed on but has a decent chance. He's not safe enough for me to pick him.

        1. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
          11 years, 9 months ago

          Agreed.

      2. Demel
        11 years, 9 months ago

        Do we know when Summer I due back?

    3. Demel
      11 years, 9 months ago

      I am thinking that the safe replacement for Bertrand might just be Clyne

      1. Lucy.
        11 years, 9 months ago

        Might want to wait on Toby news? Less attacking threat but decent route into CS potential, considering Wanyama and Schneiderlin are back in training.

        1. Demel
          11 years, 9 months ago

          Think I will get Clyne in for Bertrand and then Haidara in for Baird next week. It will leave me with

          Clyne - Terry - Jones - Haidara - PVA

        2. Demel
          11 years, 9 months ago

          Toby doesnt have any bonus point or attacking upside and intended a huge amount cheaper. I think I will go for Clyne.

      2. BIG TONES
        11 years, 9 months ago

        Clyne is a safe option - Soton def will remain solid IMO.

        As mentioned below, Toby is the cheap option to enable funds further up the pitch. Reported to be back next week at the latest

    4. Total Foot 5

      s c e n e s. bolton pelanty to have.

  5. Shiner
    11 years, 9 months ago

    Best second keeper for 4.0...??

    1. BIG TONES
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Who is your first keeper?

      1. Shiner
        11 years, 9 months ago

        Forster

        1. BIG TONES
          11 years, 9 months ago

          Pretty much any of Jakupovic/Myhill/McCarthy/Given/Gilks/Alnwick. They aren't going to play anyway.

          If you have 4.1 get Hamer

  6. Hog Roast Junkie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 9 months ago

    ADM to Silva for a hit?

    1. Lucy.
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Not sure it's worth it for a hit.

    2. Beavis
      11 years, 9 months ago

      No.

      1. Hog Roast Junkie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks

    3. BIG TONES
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Keeping ADM until after Burnley game.

    4. Demel
      11 years, 9 months ago

      No

  7. GK
    11 years, 9 months ago

    Currently in free fall since my wildcard going from 4k to 15k in a matter of weeks 🙁

    Any pearls of wisdom chaps to stop the rot? 0m ITB, 2FT -

    Pantillimon
    Terry, Clyne, Fonte
    ADM, Hazard, Silva, Sanchez
    Berahino, Aguero, Kane

    (Hamer)(Chadli, Wasil, Wisdom)

    1. Bolivian Seaman
      11 years, 9 months ago

      It's a question of what to do with ADM and berahino. If you think they will outscore any replacements, keep them

    2. BIG TONES
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Berahino is a marginal pick. Pulis teams tend to not be prolific up front.

  8. Hypnos
    11 years, 9 months ago

    alright seems like you lot don't like Ramsers
    Which one would you choose out of: Caz, Walcott, Ozil?

    1. Demel
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Walcott

    2. Hog Roast Junkie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Caz because cheapest

      1. Hypnos
        11 years, 9 months ago

        disregarding price though?

        1. Hog Roast Junkie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          11 years, 9 months ago

          Still Caz short term, Walcott when fully match fit

    3. Lucy.
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Caz or Walcott. Ozil's not consistent enough for me.

    4. megatronaldinho
      11 years, 9 months ago

      ramsey is the same price but less likely for returns. what's to like? ozil i think. and an actual differential

    5. BIG TONES
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Caz, but think of replacing him with Walcott eventually.

      Ozil goes missing a bit, I don't trust him to be consistent

  9. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

  10. Polaris - The Mortal Coil

    Why didn't Heskey come on and take it?!

    1. Lucy.
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Not sure Lineker would have liked him excusing himself from his punditry duties.

      1. Trigg ⭐️
        11 years, 9 months ago

        I switched to SSN @ HT, didn't realise he was in the studio 🙁

        1. Lucy.
          11 years, 9 months ago

          Yeah he'd have got his suit in a bit of a mess I reckon 😉 He's injured, see.

  28. JoeSoap
    11 years, 9 months ago

    Can someone please clarify the following:

    If I bought Bertrand at 5.8 and he rises to 5.9 then his value drops back to 5.8 I take it his value on my team remains at 5.8 as opposed to 5.7!

    1. Demí
      11 years, 9 months ago

      yes

      1. JoeSoap
        11 years, 9 months ago

    2. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Sale value will stay at 5.8

    " phil neville about as interesting as the shipping forecast"

    1. Lucy.
      11 years, 9 months ago

      I think that's unfair on the shipping forecast. At least the shipping forecast involves a smooth voice.

    Liverpool reaction to loosing atm.
