This afternoon we reveal the results from the fourth rounds of the Fantasy Football Scout Cup XII and Members Cup VI as well as roll out the fifth round draws that take place in Gameweek 27.

With all former winners out of the Fantasy Football Scout Cup XII a new name is guaranteed on the trophy.

Amongst the favourites is Mr Rabbit, who at 718th is the highest ranked manager left in the competition and saw off Dr Congo in the fourth round to set up a fifth round clash with community regular Numb.

Other notable match ups include the second highest placed manager in the tournament coffee-geek, who is ranked 1370th. He defeated our suspension tightrope custodian Anorak and faces jwhizzle in Round 5.

Another to dispatch a FFScout contributor is Rickytoso who defeated our resident physiotherapy expert Facer in Round 4 and takes on BMFC in the fifth round.

The full Fantasy Football Scout Cup XII Round 4 results can be found here, while the Round 5 draw can be found here.

A new name will also be on the Members Cup this year after all former winners departed back in the first round.

Peadarb remains the competitor to beat in the Members Cup. With a ranking of 377 he is the highest placed remaining manager and faces kula hiyo fc in Round 5, after seeing off Alzo Utd in Round 4.

While ranked just 409,571, kula hiyo fc is not to be underestimated, having seen off former FPL champion Dufflinks (aka Simon March) in Round 4.

The full Members Cup Round 4 results can be found here, while the Round 5 draw can be found here.

    Debauchy missed another goal?

    1. Debauchy
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      lol. Second half will settle on 1 game , and likely fall asleep

      1. Moin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Haha! Tough luck mate!

        1. Debauchy
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah , sums up my season. Now thunder and lightning here, signal gone.,.time for a drink

    Deflection took it in, but marking was horrible

    1. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Awful defending and lucky not to concede a second straight after

  4. Mind över Mata
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Best keeper until my WC (probably gw 30 or 31)

    A) Cech
    B) Forster

    Would be doubling up with either

    1. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      B

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        1. Hy liverpool
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          *to score another goal

    2. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Woah! Klopp is serious about Europa!

    3. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Probably their strongest available team?

      1. LarryDuff
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Indeed it is

    4. Je suis le chat
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Full strength Liverpool. Planning to win well in first leg and rest the big names in second leg before the League cup final?

      1. Hy liverpool
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        yes (hopefully)

    5. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights

      10 years, 1 month ago

      Ward, Randall, Caulker, Lucas, Ibe, Origi, Benteke.

  8. The Polymath

    A question from someone new to FPL

    What is a good Team Value to have at this stage and what does it indicate?

    I have a Team value £105.6m

    In the bank £1.6m

    Thanks.

    1. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Team Value doesn't mean much, concentrate on Points...your team value will automatically be high!

      1. fancy111
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Wow, zero chips played!!

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          WC1 not needed.

      2. juggos
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Previous OR high of 200k though. Very impressive nonetheless

    2. juggos
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      If you have your second wildcard still available, and a high Total Value (team value + itb) then you should be able to afford a more expensive team. This season has proven that more expensive does not equate to more points though

    3. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      110.3 but as Moin points out above doesn't count for huge amount at this stage.

  9. Mark-O
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Will Sturridge be injured tonight?

    1. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      This is the big question!

    2. Worzel Gummidge
        10 years, 1 month ago

        He is already injured.

    3. Je suis le chat
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Hoping Studge bangs in a few and shakes up the fpl a bit.

      1. Moin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Bad fixtures...

          • 10 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          No fixture in fact.

      2. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Studge triple (c) could be the most risky yet rewarding move possible.

        1. juggos
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          But he'll only play 15 mins in that dgw

        2. Je suis le chat
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Exactly, he could be gold in a dgw.

          1. Davido989
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Good record vs Everton too.

    4. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Any word on the DDG injury? Serious or just precautionary?

      1. internal error
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Ankle sprain.

        1. internal error
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Apparentyl

      2. Moin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Precautionary I guess

      3. Hy liverpool
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        not serious from what I've seen

    5. Kings of Lyon ★
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Winning the Europa League is much better than finishing 2nd in the PL. Discuss

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Easily.

        You win a trophy, and get into the CL.

      2. Costa in Wengerland
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        They will win both

      3. Ayew Serious
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Agreed, trophy + Champions League is better than just Champions League

        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Of course it is, not much to discuss. Winning a major trophy and playing in the CL next season surely is better than ending up with nothing, just behind the first place in the league.

        1. Debauchy
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Not a major trophy though Cap.

          1. Davido989
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            It's a European trophy. About as major as they come.

            1. Kings of Lyon ★
              • 15 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              Agreed

          2. seanie3
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            OMG, it's a European trophy.. as about as big as it gets..

      4. Hy liverpool
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        both to champions league but winning EL is bonus ?

      5. Je suis le chat
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Yes, its a trophy. Probably have to play nearly 20 games against decent opposition.

      6. Greenbackbøøg…
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        yep

      7. Moin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Coming first at anything (apart from losing) is better than coming second at something!

      8. Worzel Gummidge
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Yes.

        • Konig Luther
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          i think so... after some years, you will remember they got a trophy, but you will not remember if they finish in 2nd or 4th

          1. Debauchy
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Who remembers past Europa League winners ?

            1. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
              • 12 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              I can remember quite a few. Sevilla twice, beating Dnipro in the final. Atlético Madrid beating Fulham in the final, lol.

            2. ​
              • 12 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              Chelsea fans do!

            3. Kings of Lyon ★
              • 15 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              Most fans of European football

            4. Larry Legend
              • 10 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              Who remembers finishing second in the league?

              Can't understand people who think the only ones that matter are the premier league and the champions league. Winning trophIes feels bloody great, finishing second in the league is a huge disappointment.

              1. ​
                • 12 Years
                10 years, 1 month ago

                I remember finishing 2nd for exactly that reason! 😕

              2. Debauchy
                • 13 Years
                10 years, 1 month ago

                It's about the fight .

            5. Konig Luther
              • 13 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              Well outside England we remember them.

        • Debauchy
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Little difference imo. Challenging for PL title is more challenging.

        • seanie3
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          One of the most obsurd comments I've ever read on here, It's a major European trophy.

          Lots of fans would love to see their clubs play in Europe, let alone winning the old UEFA cup

      9. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Augsburg

        Hitz - Verhaegh, Janker, Klavan, Stafylidis - Feulner, Kohr, Altintop - Esswein, Werner, Bobadilla

        1. Moin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Altintop to score the winner.

        2. Hy liverpool
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Altintop 🙂

        3. Greenbackbøøg…
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Esswein, I'm having flashbacks

          • 10 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Esswein used to be gold in Fifa Ultimate Team.

          1. Ayew Serious
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Ayyy

      10. Kings of Lyon ★
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        OK, so going on the overwhelming responses above. Should managers not be playing their full strength teams in the EL and resting players for the PL

        1. ​
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          LVG and Klopp should be, Poch stil has a shot at winning the league so he's right to rest Kane et al.

          1. Kings of Lyon ★
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Agreed

        2. Ayew Serious
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          No

        3. Konig Luther
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          depends for what you are playing in PL, if it's for 1st place, forget EL

          1. Kings of Lyon ★
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            OF course but Man and Liverpool aren't playing for the title

        4. TorresMagic™

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Which teams?

          1. Kings of Lyon ★
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Man U and Liverpool

            1. TorresMagic™
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 16 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              Who are they resting?

              1. Kings of Lyon ★
                • 15 Years
                10 years, 1 month ago

                I was more going for the surprise on here and in the media that liverpool are full strength

                1. TorresMagic™
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • Has Moderation Rights
                  • 16 Years
                  10 years, 1 month ago

                  Out of FA Cup which they don't care for.
                  Good to get a result away in 1st leg. Can always rest in 2nd leg.

                2. Jimmers
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 15 Years
                  10 years, 1 month ago

                  Also no game this weekend unlike Spurs and ManU

        5. Greenbackbøøg…
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Full strength EL

        6. Davido989
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Depends on your players' fitness and your playing styles. Teams like Spurs and Pool probably can't start key players in both comps given their pressing styles.

          • 10 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Depends. It's tought for Spurs - they may go all in and either win or lose everything, Poch is aware that being desperate to win Europa trophy may be disastrous for their league performances.

          In United's case we can fully focus on the cups - there is probably not much to look for in the league, so team playing in Europa should be as good as possible.

        7. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Spurs have a chance to win the title that should be their priority . Liverpool and United should go for the EL

          1. Debauchy
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            No doubt. But if Spurs only achieve 2nd in the PL and MU win the Europa , who has been the most successfull ? Spurs for me

            1. Larry Legend
              • 10 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              Those second place medals will look banging in the museum trophy room

        8. Debauchy
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          The question that dilutes the above responses

        9. Je suis le chat
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          I always felt Brendan Rodgers should have said he was focussing on the Europa. Might have saved his job.

        10. Cradders
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          United and Liverpool won't make top 4 so they should definitely be going for it. Also I'd rather finish 5th and win EL than finish 4th with nothing

        11. juggos
          • 13 Years

          Not necessarily but when there's no league games over the following weekend, why not go full strength? Of course it does depend on who your upcoming cup opponents are, how fit your squad is and how much depth you have

        Ok , here's my tuppence.

        As an Arsenal supporter and with this season in mind. We are likely to be out of CL so all focus is on winning the PL . Winning the PL is far ,far, more important to me than winning Europa. CL is far and away above Europa ,and PL for that matter.

        So if Arsenal fail , and finish second in PL , its all good , its about the long term effort

        Say what you like, Europa league is there for the lesser lights . We all have our opinions , but for me it's not all that much

          And the reason for that is ... because it is no longer the Cup-Winners' Cup. Which really meant something.

            Indeed. And because the Champions League is no longer only for Champions.

          With respect i wouldn't expect an Arsenal fan to say any different as all you have done for the last 12 years is challenge in the league with no trophy and about the last 18 years in the Champions league without a trophy.. Winning is what counts for players and fans alike at the end of the day and yes the league title and champions league are much more prestigous medals to have in your cabinet than the Europa League but 2nd place or runners up medals mean nothing

            • 13 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Yeah, winning any lower type tournament is better than fighting to win at the top . Having a medal for the sake of a medal . We all have our opinions , but you know mine.
            The fact that Arsenal have struggled for some time has zero bearing though

            1. KingNidge
              • 10 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              The winners of this lower type tournament add a European trophy as well as the chance to fight to win at the top the following season..

                Agree , great they get the chance to get CL . But point remains , would rather fight for PL title , and finish second if that's how it pans

          I agree.

            Of course you agree.. You're an Arsenal fan lol

              • 13 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              And you disagree because you are there this season. If you were in CL we get a different response

                I dont get too excited by 2nd place or just making up the numbers mate thats an Arsenal thing

                  Yeah yeah yeah. We have'nt won much lately, but I can live with it.. At least we are always good to watch . You have not had that for awhile

                    I enjoy the endeavour , the lifting of a trophy is a cherry , sure. But if that the be all an end all , where does that leave supporters of smaller clubs ?

                      • 10 Years
                      10 years, 1 month ago

                      Well there are clubs that have the resources to compete at the highest level and are expected to win trophies and there are those that don't and aren't quite simply.. Those smaller clubs as you put it could be forgiven for thinking 2nd place is an achievement for obvious reasons but a club like Arsenal? never

                        Yeah, and I have and will become more critical of Arsenal .
                        But I do accept the " restructuring process" that the went through.

                        Point really was , sometimes winning a medal is not the be all and end all of a successfull season
