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.

    What are Alli and Firmino owners doing? Thinking of selling the latter and keeping the former

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years

      Plenty sold Firmino for Arnie last week.

    2. Evans
      • 13 Years

      Obviously keep Ali for GW 30

      1. Greenbackbøøg…
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        True, but maybe a swap to Eriksen is on the cards

  5. sinik

    I think Arsenal NEED to win vs Swans or else they risk entering a whirlpool that could see their chances unravel..

    Coming off a 3-match winless streak..between Wednesday and April 9th they have:
    Swans (h)
    Spurs (a)
    Hull (a) [FA Cup]
    WBA (h)
    Barca (a) [UCL]
    Everton (a)
    Watford (h)
    West Ham (a)

    That's 8 matches in just over 30 days and even the easier fixtures could be tricky if they're off their swagger..

    1. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      They are already off their swagger.

    2. I Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      They certainly need to bounce back. Think I'm going to captain Ozil because of that.

      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      interesting defintion of "just over 30 days" when talking about 46 days. But sure the end of season run in defines our season every year.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        Only 16 extra days.

          How are you two doing your math?

            • 16 Years
            10 years, 4 days ago

            Is 40 a better answer?
            31 + 9?

            Well over 30.

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              10 years, 4 days ago

              39 days inclusive of the 2nd and 9th.

              Still you're arguing semantics now instead of the overall point of a must-win match every

                • 12 Years
                10 years, 4 days ago

                every 4 games*

                • 16 Years
                10 years, 4 days ago

                To win the title they need to win quite a few.

      2. sinik
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        March 2nd to April 9th is 39 days, so I guess not JUST over..but that's still a game every 4 days, nearly all of which are must-win.

          • 12 Years
          10 years, 4 days ago

          Woops I invented a week there out of nowhere. You're but its not unprecedented levels of congestion for a team regularly playing 50+ games a season

          1. sinik

            • 12 Years
            10 years, 4 days ago

            Definitely not, just seems a tougher task at hand coming off this little streak. A solid win vs Swans should sort it out the momentum though.

            Two questions for you:
            A) Do you think Sanchez will be dropped for Swans as rumored? Even if not, do you think it's worth selling him for Siggy today? (I have Ozil)
            B) If Arsenal don't win the league, do you think Arsene gets sacked?

              • 12 Years
              10 years, 4 days ago

              Doesn't that just tell you how BS momentum and relatedly mental strength are?
              This basically sums up my thoughts on the latter and with it the former: https://twitter.com/balders93/status/699149479283400705

              A) No Wenger cant afford to.
              B) Go for it, Siggy is riding high here: http://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/public-stats-tables/view/12380/

                10 years, 4 days ago

                wow and that's SIX weeks instead of the typical four..

                I do agree with the general point on momentum/mental strength as the media loves to use a sample size of 1, but should Arsenal lose to Swans, that's 4 on the trot..

                you definitely do have the quality to keep pushing but I imagine little by little it gets to that place where it's a huge sigh of relief to win a match

                  • 12 Years
                  10 years, 4 days ago

                  Leicester went 4 winless games on the trot between Boxing Day and Jan 10th.

                    good counter 😉

                    I would wish you good luck but I'd like for United to finish in top 4 😛

    Gamble has been done. Captain selected by the lottery that brought me Payet C two GW ago.

    Its Vardy C and Ozil vc. Good luck to all.

    Barkley captain.

    - Plays against the worst team in the league.
    - Had a rest this weekend unlike everyone except Newcastle.
    - Villa have given up.
    - He is one of the top pts scorers this season already.

    I just have a feeling...

      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      You do put forward a good case...

    1. Evans
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Good shout IMO and probably a differential

    2. Ejaaz11
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      I think lukaku is a better option

      1. TheTinman
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        I don't have him otherwise I would agree

    3. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Plus Everton are probably the worst team to play when you are tired, along with Arsenal. Expect to see possession stats of over 70% to Everton. If they score early Villa's heads will drop and it could be a landslide.

  9. Evans
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 4 days ago

    Anyone done a dgw strategy for those without a wildcard ?

    1. Chenku╰☆╮

      Why don't you have a go at it and let us know? 😉

      1. Evans
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        Not that clever lol

      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Buy 3 Liverpool players and 3 Everton players after gw30. Also pick up City and Newcastle players now.

      1. Chenku╰☆╮
        • 11 Years

          Not all in 1 week.

        Struggling with city players apart from Aguero

        Silva has no form
        Yaya is Yaya
        Sterling couldn't hit a barn door

          • 12 Years

          Otamendi and Joe Hart are decent bets 🙂

          Silva is involved in set pieces and playing no.10.

            absolute no form. i don't get the love for him. just played 120 minutes, only 48 hrs rest.

        I'm tempted to go this route and keep bench players for 35.

        It'd means I could play gw35 as a shot to nothing before wildcarding too. Just a thought.

          sanchez for me looks completely gone, a shell of himself. He needs dropping immediately

          walcott and ramsey are too inconsistent, ramsey as cm has been very poor. Walcott has actually got worse as he gets older.

          campbell deserves his chance, he played excellent this season. El Neny deserves minutes and I guess welbeck will start on the wing for sanchez

              I don't know, he kept giving the ball away in midfield. Since he has come back from injury he has not been contributing enough. He needs to be dropped and sent a message. I am a sanchez owner and a huge admirer of sanchez but he has been so poor.

    Benching headache every week 🙁 can I get some help?

    Bench 1:
    A) Azpliicueta (nor)
    B) Koscielny (SWA)
    C) Simpson (WBA)
    D) Targett (bou)

    1. The Royal Robin
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      D

    2. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Targett, simples

  16. Ibracadabra´s Spell
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 4 days ago

    Play...

    A) Costa (probably rested)
    B) Deeney (he will start)

    A or B?

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      I'd risk A

    2. J1F
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      A

    3. Ibracadabra´s Spell
      • 11 Years

      Tomorrow it seems.

  18. zuzuViking
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 4 days ago

    A or B? Any why please?

    A: Ighalo -> Rashford (bench player, but will play this week on AoA chip)
    B: Johnson -> Van Dick

  19. Tronity

    Need an Ighalo replacement. £6m in the bank and already have Aguero and Vardy.

    Best striker for next few weeks:

    A) Kane
    B) Costa (likely transferring to Kane in GW30)
    C) Someone else?!

    1. J1F
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Kane

    2. Sylas
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      B, if you're chasing...

      1. Tronity
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        Protecting at the mo. ML rival has Kane

        1. Sylas
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 4 days ago

          Toughie! I like the Costa punt for a week or two...

          1. Tronity
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 4 days ago

            Not put off by the chance of him being rested? I've got a fifth mid that can cover him if he is but it feels riskier than it felt last night!

            1. Sylas
              • 10 Years
              10 years, 4 days ago

              Oh yes, I read that somewhere. I guess Kane is a better bet then...

      2. Piggs Boson
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        Costa may be out.

        1. Tronity
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 4 days ago

          Injured or rested?

          1. Piggs Boson
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 4 days ago

            Rested

            1. Tronity
              • 12 Years
              10 years, 4 days ago

              Reckon Kane is the best bet then?

              1. Piggs Boson
                • 14 Years
                10 years, 4 days ago

                Yeah

    Any feedback would be massively appreciated.

    Cech
    Simpson - VVD - PvA
    Mahrez - Ozil - Payet - Arnie
    Kane - Kun - Vardy

    (Gomes - Alder - Alli - Williams)

      1. The Royal Robin
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        Would you start with the players I have, am I subbing somebody I shouldnt... etc.

          Looks ok.

  21. You've got red on you.

    Ighalo ---> Costa for a 1 week punt before getting Aguero back or is it a waste of a transfer?

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      do it

    2. Lateriser 12
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Read scout tweets. No.

  22. Jimjam
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 4 days ago

    Butland, Foster
    Ivanovic, Bellerin, Alderweireld, Van Dijk, Huth
    Ozil, Payet, Mahrez, Alli, Stanislas
    Aguero, Kane, Vardy

    1FT, 2.4 in bank

    Stanislas -> Arnautovic a good move?

    1. I Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      yup

  23. I Member

    Considering I've already used my bench boost (one of many horrendous mistakes this season) what's the best WC plan for me? I'm thinking use my TC in the first DGW and then WC right before GW37.

  24. Lisboa 1967

    Forster // Butland

    Dann Bellerin Toby Simpson // Targett

    Arnie Willian Mahrez // alli Payet

    Kane Aguero Vardy

    Who to start ? forster or Butland ?

    Who to start targett or dann ?

    agree with alli or payet being on the bench ?

  25. Marquis-Cha-Cha
    • 10 Years

    2FT & 2.5ITB

    Forster / Henn
    Simpson / Bellerin / Toby / Dawson / Moreno
    Ozil / Mahrez / Payet / Ali / Arnie
    Kane / Aguero / Vardy

    Is it time to drop Moreno and/or Dawson? For a Stoke and/or Chelsea defender?

    1. n-doggg
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Moreno to Ivan ?

      1. Marquis-Cha-Cha
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        Tempting. Was thinking Azpi just for price.

    Balders changed his jersey?

      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Out of the cup 🙁

  27. CableEnable

    Anyone pondering Kane or Aguero > Lukaku just for the Villa bashing?

    1. Lateriser 12
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Transfers are important at this stage.

    2. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Naaah. Contemplating Barkley, though.

  28. Ha.
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 4 days ago

    Payet > Barkley

    Y / N

    1. n-doggg
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      N

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Not great for GW30. Could work this week.

      1. Ha.
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        Payet > Barkley for GW 28
        Barkley > Silva for GW 29

        I have 2FT, and think AVL are terrible

        1. Ha.
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 4 days ago

          (Will also have 11 for GW30 even if Arsenal don't play)
