This afternoon we reveal the results from the fifth rounds of the Fantasy Football Scout Cup XII and Members Cup VI as well as roll out the sixth round draws that take place in Gameweek 28.

Nickofoz, who is ranked 4019, will be optimistic of staying in the competition after drawing Emirates12, who is ranked more than 187,000 places below him. Leeds Utd, who is ranked just outside of the top 10,000, has another favourable Round 6 tie, against 425,229 placed Khan fc.

The highest ranked manager in the Fantasy Football Scout Cup is 1659 placed coffee-geek, who takes on konman in Round 6. Meanwhile, community regular Numb faces Jhammer47 in the next round.

The full Fantasy Football Scout Cup XII Round 5 results can be found here, while the Round 6 draw can be found here.

In the Members Cup, 114 placed Peadarb remains the favourite. He is the highest ranked managed left in the competition and in Round 6 takes on Jimgranty, who has a rank of 340,825.

With a score of 65 Down Under was Round 5’s highest scorer and with an overall placing of 3812 is the second highest ranked manager in the competition. He faces Bend It Like Bennett in Round 6.

Another notable matchup in the Members Cup is community veteran Rasping Drive’s tie with Doctor 101.

    Payet /sanchez/firminho /Ali /mahrez /

      Costa might be rested this week.

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

        and Aguero in the near future.

    2. Dr Kenneth Noisewater
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Think Firmino is a good shout to get rid of, blank & some nasty fixtures. Arnie for 1 week, Siggy for future

  2. Dr Kenneth Noisewater
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Your defender transfer of choice for GW29 onwards and must be playing in GW30?

    A) Janmaat (BOU, lei, SUN, nor) + DGW at some point, but he is Newcastle...
    B) Williams (NOR, bou, AVL, sto) + BAP magnet, but no DGW
    C) Taylor/Naughton for some as above, but assist threat
    D) Kompany (AVL, nor, MNU, bou) + DGW, but won't be able to get Hart

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

      I like the kompany pick

    2. Ejaaz11
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Kompany

    3. Lyonnais
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I'll probably get Williams in this week but Kompany is looking like a great option for the next weeks.

  3. villian-ty
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Hoolahan out for? 5.3 to spend

    1. Dr Kenneth Noisewater
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Antonio?

  4. S.Kuqi
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Chasing 40 point lead and me and my rival have pretty much similar teams. He doesn't have Vardy so sensible move would be to cap him right?

    1. Dr Kenneth Noisewater
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I always think that if an opponent doesn't have him, then it's free points anyway. I prefer to guarantee that difference and gamble on someone else.

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yes, but depends on if there are others in your league between you and him too.

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        There are few but I don't consider them rivals.

  5. Butland in the Village
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone jumping on the Rashford bandwagon? 🙂

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      No.
      You?

    2. Pasqualinho
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      The Rashford Cortina? Looks like a few are, according to the price rise sites. short-term fad, I reckon.

    3. Butland in the Village
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Nah I went off the grid with siggy and khazri last week and got my first red arrow in 3 weeks. Trying to stay with the pack.

  6. TotalJustice
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    My MIds:

    Ozil, Mahrez, Payet, Alli, Firmino

    Need opinions:

    1) Firmino > Arnie, Play Arnie, Bench Payet
    2) Save , (Firmino, Bellerin > Silva, Cook nxt week)

  7. That Fantasy Guy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Hi all some advice on the following please.
    My team is:
    Rudd - Hennessy
    Huth - Creswell - Ivanovich - alderwereld - Smith
    Payet - Sanchez - firmino - Stanislas - mahrez
    Kane - vardy - aguero

    2ft 0.3 itb
    A. Rudd, Payet -> forster, Willian
    B. Cresswell, Payet -> VVD, Barkley
    C. Cresswell, Stanislas -> VVD, Lingard
    D. Other (please suggest)

    Thanks.

    1. Garfield1001
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      A but Firmino out instead of Payet

  8. Garfield1001
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    2FT and £5.6m ITB

    Forster | Hennessey
    Bellerin | Rangel | Huth | Alderweireld | Wollscheid
    Mahrez | Ozil | Payet | Alli | Watson
    Kane | Aguero | Vardy

    Thinking of doing Watson --> Willian

    Thoughts? Any other suggestions?

    Thanks!

  9. Pringle
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    What do you prefer this gw?

    A. Payet to Silva
    B. McCarthy to Hart

    1. Garfield1001
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Depends who other keeper is

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

        B-land

        1. Garfield1001
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          In that case I would do do A but delay it to next game week

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

    Butland - (Hennessey)

    Bellerin - Fuchs - Van Dijk (Alderweireld) (Daniels)

    Ozil - Payet - Alli - Mahrez (Stanislas)*

    Aguero - Kane - Vardy

    2 FT 3.4M ITB

    Is Stanislas to someone like Arnautovic or Siggy (maybe someone else) the best call?

    1. Lizard Lips
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Play Toby over VVD

  11. Ange Ball
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    When you think it'd a normal day shopping in Mark and Spencers. You look across you and find Lewis Hamilton shopping next to you. The man was blinging and up himself. Someone girls ran towards him asked for picture he walked out. Jumped in his car waited for his manager to buy the shopping.

    1. Every Dog Has Its Day
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah when I go shopping I get annoyed by the camera's so I get my manager to do it.

    2. Pasqualinho
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Shouldn't he be in Barcelona?

      1. Ange Ball
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        That's what I thought. He was wearing red cap and earing that worth half my house

    3. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Hate it when girls do that.

    4. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Pretty sure he's in LA now...

      1. Ange Ball
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Nope he here I'm not lieing.

      2. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Or New York even.

    5. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Shouldn't he be on the Galapagos islands?

      1. Ange Ball
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Nope he was in Edgeware Road Marks and Spencer. Went into a white blackout car looked like a benz.

        1. Ange Ball
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Those coloured girls ruined my selfie chance. They were so stupid. Running to him with there camera phones.

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

          It was probably Theo Walcott

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

            Red cap and ran with embarrassment after the girls recognized him after yesterdays performance 🙂

  12. Epic Fail

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years

      Very tempted.

    2. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Not bad.

  15. sully29

    So, Aaron Ramsey. Guess that brilliant season he had was just a one off purple patch?

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

      Certainly seems to be the case atm.

      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      yep, he's a below average finisher.

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

        who's your capt balders?

  16. Jeremiah
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Any ideas? 2 FT's, 4.1 ITB 🙂

    Butland - McCarthy
    Bellerin - Alder - VVD - Francis - Ward
    Sanchez - Mahrez - Payet - Alli - Westwood
    Kane - Aguero - Vardy

    Was thinking maybe Sanchez > Ozil/Silva?

    1. Garfield1001
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Upgrade Westwood

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

      Do not get rid of Sanchez before Swansea - if you want Westwood to Ozil if enough money

  17. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Play Butland (NEW) or Forster (bou)? Cheers

    Getting Sanchez in for KDB 4 weeks ago could end up losing me my mini-league. Who'd have thunk it. Went from level pegging to 52 behind. Not only have i carried his blanks, but also meant I missed out on Alli / Firminio / Arnie as i had no spare slots.

    Just annoying as his stats don't seem that bad. Think i'll have to keep for Swansea, then cut losses for Silva maybe.

    I always hold on to one big hitting player too long every season. Need to learn that lesson.

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

      i did ozil to sanchez.. you know the rest.. 🙁

    2. brownc46
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Im keeping for Swansea. Praying for results.
      Did the same move as you, seems crazy as I've never owned Ozil

    3. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Now that I've sold Sanchez, I'm wondering how different my team would have been. I may have swallowed my pride and got Vardy and Mahrez back in and not missed on all their points! And maybe would have moved for Forster sooner.

      Thank god I kept Ozil all this timne.

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

        but ozil had lost all form!!! 😉

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

      i'm tempted to just captain sanchez this week. He's killed my challenge off lately and slim chance he could explode and no one will be getting him in!

      1. Connor's Calling
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        It's the kind of rage decision i want to do...but then be gutted when he blanks again and i wonder why i even considered it given his form.

        Thanks Alexis

    Marcus Rashford's FPL ownership has gone up by a significant 20830% this week. #whoareyouwhoareyou

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      The sad thing is that he would not have got a chance if it wasn't for Martial getting injured

      So much good young talent never getting a chance because the big teams are afraid to take a chance on them

      1. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        He played Thurs and Sunday, if he plays midweek and then the weekend they are gonna burn him out...

        1. Syd.
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          He is 18 and is full of running not a chance of him getting burned out

          1. Old Man
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            That's right. I remember when I was 16/17 we'd often play for about 2.5 hours .... and then do it again the following day. When I was 18 I used to play 3 matches in a weekend. Not that unusual either.

        Didn't realise the decision was so simple. Thanks

          I'd rather have Aguero and Payet than Afobe and Arnie, put it that way 🙂

            Aguero is a mist-have, but then I'm sitting on Payet and Firmino who are both useless for GW30. I guess I'll get rid of one of them for Arnie

      Wouldn't rush to get A) this GW, if he plays this GW there's an outside chance he gets rested for GW 29. But you probably want him for GW 30. Afobe has nice fixtures but no form.

      B) for me

        Imagine all those triple captain fails if he gets rested for GW29 😆
        Thanks for your advice

      What do expect from tomorrow's match against West Brom?

  27. Jeremiah

    Best option? 🙂

    A. Payet > Arnie

    B. Westwood > Arnie

    Current midfield is Sanchez - Mahrez - Alli - Payet - Westwood

      Yea just do A and invest the remaining funds somewhere else.

    Play Firmino or Payet?

      Firmino

      I'm dumping Payet next week, any suggestions, Siggy most popular option? I have Arnie, no Alli though?

      I'm playing firm. He did well in the reverse fixture (albeit he got nothing on the weekend).

        Thanks and I like the picture from Harry Potter Studios!

    A. Payet -> Arnautovic

    B. Moreno -> Daniels

    C. Both.

    I have 2 FTs. If I don't do C I'll be saving 1.

    Hopefully there won't be too many upsets tomorrow

    Already a lot worrying about Costa, Sanchez, Alli, Simpson
