FFS Paddy Power Cup XI and Members Cup V – Second Round Draw

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

There were mixed fortunes for our former FFS Paddy Power Cup former champions, with our team news man Demi’s score of 35 proving too much for past winner Wild Rover as he cruised through to the second round to face Brain Stem.

Gribude was another former champion to fall, with Snotgrass’s tally of 40 knocking him out in the first round. Toon_army_htl was the conqueror of reigning champion CMIFLFC, while former winner GoonerDave also missed out on a second round draw, after being removed by Blue Mooners.

That leaves three former champions in the competition after Jonty (that’s me) eased past Big Dolls to set up a round two encounter with Bahahahacelona and MCH defeated Aliminator to face Jonny in the second round. Donnellyc was another victorious former champion and he takes on I Just Did A Torres in the second round.

Other notable second round clashes include CB’s match with Mark, and Leaf’s clash with Paul.

Among our former Members Cup champions Trigg’s first round victory was the most eye catching. He saw off the top ranked FPL manager Dufflinks by the slender margin of one point in what was a low scoring week for many of the top ranked players. Trigg now faces Pdes in the second round.

Another former winner Fuzzy Dunlop was less fortunate. He fell in the first round to another community regular Jafooli, who now faces Mrben.

With Dufflinks’ departure, 12th placed Gratuzo is the Members Cup’s highest ranked surviving manager. Red5 who is ranked more than 400,000 places behind Gratuzo will be hoping to emulate Trigg’s success in claiming a big scalp in the second round.

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.

    Just 1 City goal.

    And things will change.

      Always in with a chance but your midfield is atrocious

    2. Breadbin
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      The scoreline would change.

      Realistically though it must happen sooner rather than later.....................

    Gap to 1st down to just 18 points now!

    1. Woy of the Wovers

      You're doing well.

      1. Takamba
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Would welcome any advice on transfers this week!

        So'ton defender would seem the sensible move

        1. Woy of the Wovers
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Love to but you're sort of in my firing line. Good luck though.

          1. Takamba
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            Oh yeah...you're having a pretty tidy season too

            1. Woy of the Wovers
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 3 months ago

              2nd OR is a tough place to be it seems. 😉

              1. Takamba
                • 9 Years
                9 years, 3 months ago

                1st loser, I suppose!

        2. Breadbin
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Do what got you this far. Don't listen to us.

          1. Takamba
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            To be fair, there was unanimous advice not to get Giroud in for Austin last week.

            Luckily I ignored that!

            1. Breadbin
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 3 months ago

              Stick with your gut and ignore what seems like general consensus on here. Most of the time that's people making moves then trying to convince themselves they're right.

              1. Takamba
                • 9 Years
                9 years, 3 months ago

                Fair point, I guess we are all guilty of that to some degree!

  3. Ajay04
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Courtois
    Ivanovic Terry Kosc Azpi
    Yaya Matic
    Alexis Silva Hazard
    Aguero

    After much debate, I think this is the final PL team that could win the Champs league... Perfectly balanced imo with lots of pace and power.

    1. SC not pearls before swine
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Think that that's pretty close to the best the PL could do. Still don't see them touching Barcelona/Bayern/Madrid though.

      1. Ajay04
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        And thats the sad thing about it, our best is no where near the elite. We're falling further behind

  4. Ibracadabra´s Spell
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    A) Ozil
    B) Coutinho
    C) Silva
    D) Sterling

    1) Costa
    2) Sturridge
    3) Rooney

    Choose one letter and one number for my team, pls.

    Is that substitute bad news for any FPL Nasri owners?

    Or is Pell just protecting him from being sent off?

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Pelle text me and said he's just protecting him.

    2. Daniel Exeter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Nasri's missus text him, she has a free house.

      1. Charlie&TheLads
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        That's not Samir's style......its his mistress

    3. AlCapwnUK
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      think just stopping him from getting sent off

    4. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Navas is the secret weapon

  6. Jammy Dodger
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone mind offering any other suggestions?

    Ivanovic clyne rose

      Spurs offer nothing defensively, change that

    2. Zander
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Save transfer or look to get Rose out.

      1. Twisted Saltergater

        What don't you like about LEI, bur, AVL ??

  7. KISSES

    Just did mane to eriksen last 6 GW in the comparison tool.

    Mane seems the way forward, but those sours fixtures...

    I take it still no news on Arsenal double yet?

      Only one we have is Olivier with two "bikini" models.

    2. Breadbin

      If there was, we'd be making posts about it.

        I may have missed the storm..

        1. Breadbin
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          It would last many days. No escaping DGW mayhem.

  9. AlCapwnUK

    The age old Clyne v Bertie decision is back for my team...
    Which one to ship for Toby to free up cash?
    Probably shipping Clyne as I stand to lose more TV selling Bertie. Just know the moment I drop one they'll get a goal

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      That's the problem. It's almost a coin toss.

    2. Daniel Exeter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Who are you freeing up cash for?

      1. AlCapwnUK
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Considering getting Costa in for the DGW, and would like a bit of cash to keep my midfield ticking over

    Hi guys, not asked this in a while, im a bit stuck here not sure what to to do. I have 2 FT. I want to plan for DGW so dont think i should get rid of Austin yet. Might need rid of Foster and was looking to get Toby in...

    Foster (Injured)
    Ivan Bellerin Hutton
    Silva Eriksen Hazard Sanchez
    Aguero Austin Kane

    subs: Krul, Boyd, Dawson, PVA

    1. Daniel Exeter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Just sort the Foster problem and save the other freebie

    2. Je suis le chat
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Foster to Guzan for now, I'd say.

      1. Daniel Exeter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Not for me. Guzan has a blank in 33

  14. La Roja
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Fernandinho silva out

    Bony fernando in

    It will happen...

  15. Ibracadabra´s Spell
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    I will do Walters, Caz and Kun >>> Mané, Silva and Costa

    Then captain Silva or Hazard for differencial, I´m a little crazy but I will do it.

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Ok.

      1. Ibracadabra´s Spell
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Btw, do this for -4 or keep Walters and bench him to play Siggy for free, instead??

        1. Ruth_NZ
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Bench and play Siggurdsson. Save the -4.

          1. Ibracadabra´s Spell
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            Do you think Swansea can score against Villa??

            1. Ruth_NZ
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 3 months ago

              What makes you think they can't?

              Tactics Tim is not known for being a defensive coach. Likely an open game.

              1. Ibracadabra´s Spell
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 3 months ago

                That´s true, then Mané needs to outscore Siggy in 4 points so I think you are right, thanks mate. 🙂

    2. Ruth_NZ
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Costa (c) in that case.

      1. Ibracadabra´s Spell
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Maybe, I will see, thanks mate. 🙂

        Right nuisance but top class

        Liverpool have been toothless without him.

    How's this for a mad pair of transfers?

    Kun and Boyd => Benteke and Sanchez

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Potentially decent.

    Pantilimon Foster
    Terry Kompany Clyne N.Taylor Hutton
    Hazard Silva Eriksen Walters Boyd
    Aguero Kane Giroud

    Which is best?:

    A) Kompany and Walters -> Alderweireld and Mane/Sigurdsson (-4)
    B) Kompany, Walters and Eriksen -> Alderweireld, Ramsey and Mane/Sigurdsson (-8)
    C) Something else?

    Thanks
