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.

In a low scoring Gameweek, in which the Fantasy Premier League average was just 33 points, Nickofoz and LeedsUtd both achieved the fifth round of the Fantasy Football Scout Cup’s highest score of 60.

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.

        stumped between Vardy and Ozil
        Currently on Vardy tho

    4. Epic Fail

      B for me, so probably someone else for you.

        On B as weel (y)

    Schmeichel mccarthy
    Moreno williams dier pieters delaney
    Alli payet ozil arnie mahrez
    Aguero vardy kane

    What would you do with 1ft 3.3m itb

    For me its between selling kane or moreno or sorting 2nd keeper

    1. tm245
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 3 days ago

      I would ship Moreno -- you seem set up for gw30 already so maybe a luxury move like Ivanovic?

  3. Garfield1001

    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!!!

    1. Effe
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 3 days ago

      Payet to Arnautovic

  4. Emp
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 3 days ago

    Henesee (Myhill)
    Cedric Rose Daniels (Wolly Moreno)
    Mahrez Sanchez Arnie(c) Alii (Antonio)
    Kane Aguero (V) Vardy
    1FT , 2.7 ITB

    Firstly ,Do you guys think I have my team set out right? I have gone for the defenders with the mmost upside in attack and benched wolly in his good fixture however stoke defence has been poor of late.

    Secondly, please pick one:

    A: Save FT, and then do sanchez and Antonio to silva (avl) and siggy(nor) for free followiig week, bench arnie away at Chelsea

    B: Myhill to schmeical/ cech/ forster and then do only sanchez to silva the following week , play Antonio away at everton, still bench arnie.

    C: Kane to lukaku(C), just get silva next gw ,then do lukaku back to kane in gw30 🙁
    C seems bad cos of all the wasted transfers but im seriously worried lukaku gonna get double figures against villa and kane doesn't have dembes at the mo

    1. BenjaniMwaruwari
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 days ago

      A has the most upside imo, I would play Antonio over Alli and possibly Wolly over Cedric. Good luck

      1. Emp
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 3 days ago

        thanks man , Antonio will probably play wingback next two games cos byram has been banned so think I will stick with alli

        1. Emp
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 3 days ago

          more reason for A as well I guess

  5. Jeremiah
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 3 days ago

    Best option?

    A. Payet > Arnie

    B. Westwood > Arnie

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

    1. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 3 days ago

      B

    2. BenjaniMwaruwari
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      B) if you don't need the $ straight away

      10 years, 3 days ago

      Hi guys, I am in a real dilemma this GW and hoping you can help! Have 2 FT but only 0.2 ITB and a low team value.

      Need to do Ighalo -> Vardy but have to downgrade somewhere to afford it. Which option would you go with?

      A) Ighalo & Payet -> Arnie & Vardy for free
      B) Ighalo & DDG -> McCarthy (I know... but have Kasper to play) & Vardy for free
      C) Bellerin & Ighalo -> Vardy & 4.1 defender
      D) Take a -4 point hit: Ighalo, Payet, Bellerin/DDG -> Siggy, Vardy and a decent defender/GK
      E) Something else

      Hope you can help! Cheers!

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years

        A - Payet has tough fixtures and a blank coming up

      Chaser's Delight

      Lloris
      Azpilicueta Koscielny Daniels
      Sanchez Siggy Arnie Alli
      Aguero Costa Lukaku c

      Elliot Simpson Drinkwater Rangel

      Roll on GW28, I need to get rid of the awful taste of GW27 as soon as possible.

    6. Still Unsure
        10 years, 3 days ago

        Butland
        Bellerin, Fuchs, Azpi
        Payet, Ozil, Mahrez, Arnie
        Kun, Kane, Vardy

        Bench: Henn, Alli, Toby, Nyom

        £2.8 ITB - Was going to do a defender (probably Bellerin) to VVD, but now thinking I might just save it. Any thoughts?

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 3 days ago

          Save

        2. Viper
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 3 days ago

          Yeah I'd save

        3. BenjaniMwaruwari
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 3 days ago

          Save, would rather want to play Bellerin (SWA) than VVD(bou)

        4. tm245
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 3 days ago

          Team looks good.

          1. Still Unsure
              10 years, 3 days ago

              Cheers. Benched the right players? Seems odd benching two Spurs players on current form...

        5. Viper
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 3 days ago

          Evening gents

          A. Payet -> Arnautovic

          B. Moreno -> Daniels

          C. Both.

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

          1. For Fuchs Sake
            • 16 Years
            10 years, 3 days ago

            Just B, Payet could do something

          2. tm245
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 3 days ago

            Definitely B.

            I did A but it's a tough call.

          3. tetters
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 3 days ago

            Evening squire. As you answered mine, I'll return the favour!

            B.

            As nice as owning Arnie was this weekend, I as well as many others were ready to ditch this past week!

              10 years, 3 days ago

              B

                Arnie?

                1. Epic Fail
                  • 15 Years
                  10 years, 3 days ago

                  Was actually meant to say Alli, sorry.

            3. Elly88 > KTR (Kevin The …
              • 13 Years
              10 years, 3 days ago

              M'fuchin Sanchez. Actually sell him.

              1. For Fuchs Sake
                • 16 Years
                10 years, 3 days ago

                Yeah tempted, but he could finally do something..........

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 3 days ago

            If Arsenal beat Hull City in the replay will the GW 30 tie with West Brom be rescheduled on only 4 days' notice?

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

              Yes, mad innit.

              1. tetters
                • 13 Years
                10 years, 3 days ago

                Awful way to treat fans who actually go to games.

              2. Werkself
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 12 Years
                10 years, 3 days ago

                Seems so.

            2. Egg noodle
              • 16 Years
              10 years, 3 days ago

              Yep

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

              Well it's not like it's a surprise

              1. Epic Fail
                • 15 Years
                10 years, 3 days ago

                True, but people have jobs and shizzle that they have to arrange around it.

                1. Werkself
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 12 Years
                  10 years, 3 days ago

                  I hate it when I have to rearrange my shizzle on short notice.

          7. TheSteel
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 3 days ago

            Utd fans, will CBJ play this gw?

            1. Epic Fail
              • 15 Years
              10 years, 3 days ago

              I know, but I'm not a Man Utd fan so I'll shut up.

            2. KingNidge
              • 10 Years
              10 years, 3 days ago

              If fit i hope so he's really earned that place with his performances

            3. Jazz!
              • 11 Years
              10 years, 3 days ago

              Good chance, though the new Fuso lad looked solid.

              1. KingNidge
                • 10 Years
                10 years, 3 days ago

                solid is an understatement he's one hell of a unit that kid

                1. Jazz!
                  • 11 Years
                  10 years, 3 days ago

                  Agree. Looked a beast

                  1. Jazz!
                    • 11 Years
                    10 years, 3 days ago

                    Future is bright!

          8. Andy1
            • 16 Years
            10 years, 3 days ago

            What to do with this team

            Butland Hennessey
            Toby vvd azpi Daniels Simpson
            Ozil payet mahrez alli Watson
            Aguero Kane Vardy

            4.9m in the bank, 2ft

            Don't want to lose a free transfer, so thinking the best thing is to plan for gw30
            I have azpi, payet, Watson and possibly ozil missing
            Is the best plan Watson --> Arnie and benching alli?

            Or something else?

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

              Might be a good idea this GW because I believe Alli will not feature. Injury/Rest.

              If you went through with it, you would face a benching headache.

              1. Andy1
                • 16 Years
                10 years, 3 days ago

                That's my worry. Not sure what else to do though

            10 years, 3 days ago

            Gomes and Hennessy are my keepers. Both have blank GW30.

            Get Hart in for Gomes (saves 0.7m over selling Hennessey)?

            1. KOLASINA(C)
              • 10 Years
              10 years, 3 days ago

              Why Hart? Better keepers around for lower price.

              1. tetters
                • 13 Years
                10 years, 3 days ago

                Got the double gameweek upcoming

                  • 10 Years
                  10 years, 3 days ago

                  Schmeichel, Forster, Fabianski defo good shouts

            • 10 Years
            10 years, 3 days ago

            Maybe doing:

            Ighalo (bad fixtures not playing GW30) -> Long (Playing GW30)

            Will Long bli fit for Bournemouth?

            How does this look?

            Gosling & Moreno -> Arnautovic & Daniels. No hit.

            I'll have to bench Alli or Payet..

              Not too sure about Daniels. Angel Rangel at 4.1 has amazing fixtures coming up. or Neil Taylor at 4.7 for higher security.

                10 years, 3 days ago

                Also, Arnautovic has got poor fixtures after this gameweek. How about Sigurdsson instead for the long haul, and hope he does something against Arsenal. Just putting out some options for you. I'm getting Siggy myself.

                  • 16 Years
                  10 years, 3 days ago

                  I could just start Alli & Payet & get Siggy next week?

                  1. Egg noodle
                    • 16 Years
                    10 years, 3 days ago

                    If Alli wasnt a doubt then I'd have said yes. Coinflip now. If its an FT then I'd get Siggy now, Swansea are notoriously good vs Arsenal usually (says my memory)

                • 16 Years
                10 years, 3 days ago

                Daniels bps & penalties not swing it for you?

                1. Egg noodle
                  • 16 Years
                  10 years, 3 days ago

                  Majority are of the opinion that Afobe is now on penalties as far as I know. Daniels ship has sailed I reckon

                    • 10 Years
                    10 years, 3 days ago

                    Daniels is still on pens, Howe said he wasn't bothered with Daniels pk miss vs Everton. It's all good there.

              Every week I'm out of the points because I go with Sanchez over Özil, like in my FPL team. 🙁 Maybe next week...

                Oh I did have Özil, the link goes to GW25. No Arnautovic was the problem.

            Who to bench out of Payet and Alli?

            Payet is very unpredictable with his hauls and seems to only get them against the lower league clubs

            Alli may well not start due to injury and come on in the last 30mins if at all, but gets all his hauls away from home

            1. Champione
              • 10 Years
              10 years, 3 days ago

              Alli

              1. Elijah's Wood
                • 11 Years
                10 years, 3 days ago

                Thanks Champ

            2. Effe
              • 15 Years
              10 years, 3 days ago

              Possibly both. Who else you got?

              1. Elijah's Wood
                • 11 Years
                10 years, 3 days ago

                Other option would be Sanchez but ive held on for so long that it would be typical that i bench his one and only haul

          22. FPL Maldini
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 3 days ago

            Is Mahrez and Vardy captain less attractive now with the Kanté being out?

            1. marquinhos
              • 10 Years
              10 years, 3 days ago

              Good point with Kante. But I am f reconsidering to Ozil in light of Kante ijhury

            2. Jazz!
              • 11 Years
              10 years, 3 days ago

              Guess so

            3. Champione
              • 10 Years
              10 years, 3 days ago

              not very much, but their performance against Norwich didn't convince me at all

            4. Pasqualinho
              • 16 Years
              10 years, 3 days ago

              Not really. Leicester defensive assets might be, though. But teams attacking Leicester seems to play into their hands, so a weaker defensive unit may even help Vardy/Mahrez points potential. It's a tough one to call.

          23. Assisting the assister
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 3 days ago

            Firmino to Arnie a good call? Prob then bench Ali. Yes or No?

            Also defence bench nightmare. Who to bench?

            A. Daniels
            B. VVD
            C. Wolly
            D. Bellers

              Yes

              A

                • 10 Years
                10 years, 3 days ago

                Thanks for that - tricky call with Daniels on pens and at home. Arnie seems a fair bet though

            2. Effe
              • 15 Years
              10 years, 3 days ago

              Yes

              Not sure about the bench...

          24. Krul Runnings
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 3 days ago

            This is me for GW28. First bench headache for months but Arnies 15 pets was worth it!
