This afternoon we roll out the first round draws of the Fantasy Football Scout Cup XI, as sponsored by Paddy Power, as well as the fifth Fantasy Football Scout Members Cup.

In the Fantasy Football Scout Cup XI the cut off for qualification was 81 points,  with rank deciding entry for those who scored exactly that tally in Gameweek 28. The rankings cut off was 150,163rd place.

One of the most eye catching ties in this open entry tournament is former champion Wild Rover’s match up against our team news man Demi.

Among our other cup winners Gribude will take on Snotgrass, reigning champion CMIFLFC faces Toon_army_htl, Goonerdave squares up to Blue Mooners, former champ MCH takes on Aliminator and Jonty (that’s me) faces Big Dolls.

Chris8910 is among those hoping to claim a high profile scalp, when he takes on Mark, whose Scoutcast co-host Granville sadly failed to qualify. Powerslice will be hoping Paul slips up to see him through to the next round.

Other notable community matchups include Hvt’s clash with 1966 was a great year.

In the Members Cup V, the cut off for qualification was also 81 points. As with the Paddy Power Cup, rank is the decider for those who matched this cut off score in Gameweek 28. The ranking cut off point for this competition was 2,515th.

Former winner Trigg faces the toughest task among our former champions as he squares up to world number one Dufflinks. Another former winner Fuzzy Dunlop also faces a familiar name, when he takes on Jafooli.

Shiregeriatric has the task of attempting to oust Mark from the Members Cup, while Dynamic takes on Paul.

Other familiar names from our community facing up to each other include Innsie’s match up with Shatner’s Bassoon and Torresmagic’s first round tangle with Shipstontrev.

The full draw for the Fantasy Football Scout Cup XI can be found here, while the draw for the Members Scout V 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.

      I'm in the top 1k, still going with Kane captain

      1. Tony Yeboah
        • 12 Years

        nice

        1. Sunny 😎
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          Let's hope he gets a hatty for the sake of both of us

  3. Cojiro
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Most likely to score/ BAPS magnet for WBA defence?

    1. Ziegler1988
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      They're all anti baps magnets, but Lescott or Cawson are the most likely to score from a corner

    2. Don Van Vliet
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Lescott or Wisdom for BAPS, although Wisdom hasn't featured for some weeks now. Dawson probably edging it on the goal front.
      Baird for a punt (if he starts), but Lescott safest all round.

    3. Cojiro
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Thanks guys, good points, well made

  4. Villan

      A+C.
      B rarely gets 90 mins it seems

      1. Villan
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        In the last 5 games he's got 90 4/5??

        1. Cojiro

    Thanks!

    1. Lucy.
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Bellerin and PVA.

      1. Wiz
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        hmm would you double with Panti or play Dawson ?

        1. Lucy.
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          I'd do the double but I'm a firm believer in the idea that defensive rotation decisions should be isolated from GKs. You do whichever is likely to score most.

          1. Wiz
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 4 months ago

            So you don't reckon West Brom will keep a CS ? 😕

            1. Lucy.
              • 12 Years
              11 years, 4 months ago

              I believe Sunderland are more likely.

              1. Wiz
                • 12 Years
                11 years, 4 months ago

                Bookmarked 😆

                1. Lucy.
                  • 12 Years
                  11 years, 4 months ago

                  Er why? I can have a belief, or a difference of opinion, I've given you no guarantees.

                  1. Lucy.
                    • 12 Years
                    11 years, 4 months ago

                    My belief is also backed up by the bookies.

                    1. Wiz
                      • 12 Years
                      11 years, 4 months ago

                      JK chill out. Cheers btw

            • 14 Years
            11 years, 4 months ago

            Agree. They are isolated.

  8. Pedram
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Any news on Wolly ?

  9. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Uh oh!

    Not liking BIB theory this week....

    http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/20150313/arsenal-train-ahead-of-west-ham-match

    Bellerin Gibbs and Cazorla benched?
    Theo and Chambers in?!

    1. Lucy.
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Aaaah rubbish.

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

      😯

    3. Ziegler1988
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Doesn't work for us

    4. athreya
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Gibbs will play as Monreal will play against Monaco.

      Not sure about Bellerin. Cazorla due a rest but depends on whether Rosicky is fit.

    5. Camp No No
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Where did you see Bellerin wearing a bench-BIB?

      1. Worzel Gummidge
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Probably made an assumption Chambers would play instead of him as he is in a playing BIB, apparantly. I could see Chambers as CB but not RB.

  10. CaptHun Sensible
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    currently playing

    Foster

    Bertrand, Koscielny, Rose

    Alexis, Hazard, Coutinho, Puncheon

    Aguero(c), Kane, Austin.

    subs are Eriksen, Ashley williams and Hutton.

    Is the bench the right place for Eriksen?

  11. Azzy
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    I love Cups. So for the first time ever I bought membership last week just for the Cups. And then I fail to make both of them. Great lol 🙁

    1. Lucy.
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Whereas I qualified for both and completely missed the boat 😀

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

      Ask for a refund

      1. Lucy.
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Er why? It's not FFS fault that he didn't qualify.

        1. Wiz
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          Er sarcasm

          1. Piggs Boson
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 4 months ago

            Sarcasm translates extremely well in text.

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

              No it doesn't. 😉

  12. Bolt-on
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Captain aguero or giroud?

    1. Sunny 😎
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Giroud

  13. Shifty
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Giroud(c) over Aguero? 4 goals 2 assists in last 4 games against WHU 😯

    talk me out of it...

    1. Lucy.
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Depends. Are you chasing?

      1. Shifty
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        leading my ML. Giroud abit of a differential at the moment.

        Prob means Aguero(c) then 😆

        1. Lucy.
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          Yup. Has to be Kun. 😛

        2. Ser Football 42
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          If you are leading go Aguero

    2. Sunny 😎
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Go for it

    3. Ziegler1988
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      I don't see us hammering West Ham and Giroud might come off early with Tuesday in mind (same issues with Aguero). Giroud just isn't as explosive as Aguero (two double digit hauls vs. four) so it's risky if you're defending a lead.

      1. Shifty
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        logical. thanks, shouldn't try to be too clever at this stage.

  14. walkman666
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Panti (Heaton)
    Ivan, Bellerin, Dawson (Bertrand, Baird)
    Hazard, Sanchez, Silva, Eriksen (Boyd)
    Kun, Kane, Austin
    1Ft, 0.6 itb

    Intent is to hold. Am I gtg?

    1. Wiz
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Yep

      1. walkman666
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

        Cheers!

  15. The Generalator
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Wow Simon is top of the league with 30 pts clear and a wildcard still to play!
    Doubt none of us will catch him now, must be odds-on favourite to win this year?? Strong looking team

    1. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      I'm 246pts behind and still hopeful.

    2. Sunny 😎
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Depends on how he plays his WC and how the others in top 50 play theirs

  16. athreya
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    My defence is Terry/Bellerin/Moreno/Naughton/Cameron.

    Assuming Cameron isn't playing who do I play out of Moreno and Naughton as my 3rd defender?

    Real dilemma as Swansea at home are decent and Moreno has the potential for an assist.

    1. Sunny 😎
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Moreno

      1. athreya
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks, thats how I have lined up currently.

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

      Moreno

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

      Moreno.

    4. athreya
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Thats pretty conclusive. Thanks all.

  17. JK - Cønt ⭐
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Right I think this is me this week

    Panti

    Kos, Terry, Lescott

    Sanchez, Hazard, Moses, Eriksen

    Kun (c), Kane, Austin

    Mannone, Mane, Wollschied, Naughton

    Transfer will be Bertrand to Terry

    1. Lucy.
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Looks good to me. Good luck JK! 🙂

      1. JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Did debate selling Moses over Berty tbh

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Looks good JK 🙂

      I see we both have no keeper for the blank!

      1. JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        I have a wc, I'll probably sell Mannone for GW33 then just get him back

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

      Looks good.

      Terry over Ivan? Or cash issue.

      1. JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Cash issue, if it wasn't I;d get Ivan for sure

        1. Shifty
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          Terry isn't too shabby either. I reckon he will outscore Ivanovic, just because that's how the world works.

  18. Ser Football 42
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Hart
    Alderweireld. Cresswell. Ivan
    Sterling. Ozil. Hazard. Fab. Sinclair
    Aguero(c). Kane

    Kelly. Upson. Barnes

    0FT(Fab to silva next GW)

    Good to go?

    1. athreya
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Bench Cresswell maybe.

    2. Sunny 😎
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Play Barnes over Sinclair imo

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

      Would play Kelly over Creswell

  19. Gooner Kebab
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Play Naughton or Clyne?

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Clyne imo.

    2. Sunny 😎
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Clyne

    3. A-VB
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Naughton

      Reason : Liverpool has blanked against Blackburn Rovers at home, so Swansea returning with a CS is a more than better bet and add to that Naughton's attacking impact. Chelsea will score, no matter what.

      1. Jax
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        pool will beat swansea

        1. Piggs Boson
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          +42

        2. A-VB
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          Not that sure about it.

    4. Nesvy
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      I have the same dilemma 🙂

      Naughton 😉

    5. Gooner Kebab
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      It'll be a farce if Wolly comes on and i have 2 two lined up.

  20. icywrists23
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    do you guys think pva starts?

    1. Jax
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      hope so

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      It's anyone's guess. It puts owners in a sticky situation.

  21. Az
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    PvA to Schlupp done.

    Might not pay off, but worth a gamble 🙂

  22. Sunny 😎
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Kane(c) Ozil(vc) 😎

    1. TheBabyfacedAssassin

      1. Sunny 😎

    3. Chinu

    Don't you members feel a bit hard done by the extra info this site gives out? My girlfriend is playing her first season and is ranked 2000 in the world. All she does is read the articles and read the comments made by members.

    P.S. Its embarrassing to see you struggle for 6 seasons and a girl come and master the game in her first season. 😀

      I've done similarly. My first season of taking it seriously and using this website and I'm just outside 2000 😀

    Clichy should start tomorrow shouldn't he?
    Given that he's suspended for Barca.

    Given my defence is:

    Pantilimon
    Bertrand Fonte Jones Wollscheid Lescott

    is doing Jones>Dawson unreasonable? I'd start him this week and WBA rotate well with Southampton. Down the line I could do Lescott>Naughton as well.
