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.

    I kinda feel sorry for Sanchez

    I presume Wenger has asked him to cover the flank when Monreal overlaps. I'm sure he doesn't drop deep by his own account, he just comes across as a player that naturally wants to be forward all the time. I don't think the problem lies with Sanchez, since he is doing the best he can from the positions he's found himself in.

    The two wide players (Sanchez and Walcott/ Ox/ Campbell) seem to have defensive responsibilities lately, especially when Monreal and Bellerin decide to go forward on the overlap. As a result, Ozil gets to stay central and act as that creative outlet in the hole with great freedom just behind the striker.

      I am captaining him this week

        Sanchez?

        Bold.

        1. Syd.
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 4 days ago

          Yeah I just fancy a punt this week

          1. sinik

            • 12 Years
            10 years, 4 days ago

            I'm tempted to sell haha

            1. Syd.
              • 16 Years
              10 years, 4 days ago

              I don't blame you lol

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

      Its not about the freedom. He's had enough shots and chances. He's not finished em.

    3. Je suis le chat
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      I should have avoided him, reckon he's burnt out from his Copa exertions. Hope I'm wrong and he rips it up until the seasons end.

    4. Ziro Becomes One
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Not sure you have followed Sánchez playing for long, imo. He is always tracking back naturally to defend. Bit like Rooney in that regard. He's just been very bad these few weeks.

    5. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Ah the great Sanchez lure.

      Yesterday was all set to do Sanchez > Eriksson and Ighalo > Vardy -4, now thinking Payet > Arnie, Ighalo > Vardy -4.

      Basically I want Vardy no matter what, but just realised I can still keep Sanchez...

  2. pax888

    What does everyone make of the Wenger dropping Sanchez rumours?

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

      Don't think it will happen. But I'm a Sanchez owner..

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

    Will we receive news on Alli's fitness before the deadline?

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

        So yes

        1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 4 days ago

          I think so . People on here seem to think he is out . I hope we will get news but that is the best I could find so I thought I would post it here

  4. Tangerine
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 4 days ago

    I have some really tough selection choices this week, including some players against each other. Have I made the right decision?

    Forster (Henno)
    Simpson Bellerin VVD (Toby Targett)
    Payet Mahrez Ozil Arnie (Ali)
    Vardy Kun Kane

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

      looks good to go

  5. Bayas'ed
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 4 days ago

    Surman to Arnie
    OR
    Ryan Bennett to Simpson

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

      A is more exciting

      1. Bayas'ed
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        Would mean benching Alli though. Is it worth it?

  6. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 4 days ago

    Thoughts on Austin for next 3. ?

    (bou SUN sto)

    1. Gaffa914
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Depends on who you're getting rid of

  7. Gaffa914
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 4 days ago

    Payet > Barkley (c)?

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

      This sounds great. im thinking of getting rid of payet too

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Yeah same here.

  8. Christina.
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 4 days ago

    Lot's talk on here iro getting City assets(Silva/Hart etc).

    Let's assume most own Butland, then surely Howard(if fit) or even Howard/DDG are better bets since they have 2 DGW's? Barkley over Silva?

    1. Christina.
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      *Adrian/DDG

    2. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Isn't Howard leaving?

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

      If i'm not using my WC for GW34, i will use it for GW37. So i don't need to worry about 2 DGWs.

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

        I'm thinking I'll use mine in GW36.

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

          35/36 for me too i think.

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

      Also Robles is #1 Everton now.

      1. Christina.
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        even better

          I'm depending on you Mr Noble . I expect a performance 😉

          1. I am kicking my arse as we speak ... 😆

    2. Lateriser 12
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Exactly why i'm getting David.

      1. I'm not. He's FAT!!! 😀

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

          You recommend YYT?

          1. No. It is a horrible conundrum. I might get Kolarov back ...

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

          He was terrific against Pool. Created bags of good chances. Registered an assist, unlucky not to have more.

          1. I respectfully disagree. 🙂

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

              I count simple tap-ins as good chances 🙂 How Sterling missed his I'll never know...

              1. It was further behind him than he judged ...

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

      3 City
      3 Leicester
      3 Spurs
      2 Chelsea

      1. Which three City, Syd? 🙂

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

          No blanks and a DGW in 34. Also, fixtures.

          1. Not why - WHICH! 😀

        2. Syd.
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 4 days ago

          Sterling, Kompany & Aguero

          1. Jazz!
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 4 days ago

            All good except sterling 🙂

            1. I think Sterling may be the answer, in fact ...

            2. Syd.
              • 16 Years
              10 years, 4 days ago

              Sterling will bag a hattie soon

              Can't keep missing sitters

              1. MrInbetween
                • 10 Years

  10. Yankee Toffee

    Who to bench?

    a. DDG (WAT)

        Eh?

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

    Butland - McCarthy
    Alderweireld - Bellerin - Van Dijk - Ward - Simpson
    Sanchez - Ozil - Payet - Mahrez - Alli
    Aguero - Kane - Vardy

    2 FT, nothing in the bank..

    any thoughts? really tempted by Sanchez > Siggy/Barkley but want to sort out Ward as well..

    atm I already have 9 for GW30 (12 if Arsenal get booted by Hull)

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

      Ward > Daniels?

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

        he still on pens?

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years

          I'd assume so.

      2. Woy of the Wovers
        • 15 Years

        No money.

    Best midfielder for the next 2 gameweeks? Under 8.5m

    1. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Mahrez

  14. Woy of the Wovers
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 4 days ago

    Some serious scores in the cup this week. Well played to the winners.

  15. Gazpilicueta
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 4 days ago

    Any tips for my team?

    Myhill, Forster
    Bellerin, Ward, Wollschied, Daniels, Fuchs
    Ozil, Mahrez, Alli, Payet, Gosling
    Kane, Vardy Aguero

    2FT and 3.5 in the bank.

    Im thinking maybe Gosling to Arnie, and then maybe bring in an everton player?

    1. Bayas'ed
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Exact same dilemma except that I have Surman instead of Gosling.

      Thinking of doing Surman to Arnie

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

        I cant think of a better plan, trouble is i want an everton player but they have a blank coming up.....hmmm

        1. Bayas'ed
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 4 days ago

          Who would you bench though?

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

            maybe alli

  16. HellasLEAF
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 4 days ago

    May sound like Madness but, bench one of Daniels or VVD to play Simpson??

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

      Daniels

    For those that are planning to WC gw33 for the dgw34 - are you planning to get 15 dgw players and if so, are you not worried about not owning any Leicester for 33, 34, 35 when they play Sunderland (A), West Ham (H), Swansea (H)?

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      I don't have a BB so I'm planning on 8-11 DGW players.

      1. KLOPPTOMANIA
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        BB?

    2. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      TBH when you WC its always a ludicrous idea throwing out any decent SIngle GW players just for the sake of it...

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

    Play Toby or Bertrand?
    Toby ownership is too high and i'm scared to bench him.

  19. Hibbo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    I really did not want to start with Ighalo, but the blank gw30 disrupts my plans to buy Lukaku ...

    I think WBA could upset Leicester this week

      I do too.

      Why ?

      1. Syd.
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        No Kante and pressure will be building

        1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 4 days ago

          I don;t think the pressure will be a factor this week they seem to be handling it very well and they did not crack against the big teams . the point below this is why I am slightly apprehensive

      2. ★Kuntheman★
        • 10 Years

        They have it in them to frustrate Leicester. Leicester play counter attacking, and WBA do the same. Stalemate. I think WBA could grab one from a set piece too. These are the games that Pulis loves.

    3. Do Leicester have a good player on the right? 😉

      Nature of the Premier League. Anyone other than Villa can upset anyone.

        Villa are dire........ They have just given up

            I knew things were bad, but wow 😮

      We did this with Norwich last week. Still got 19pts from my two Leicester transfers.

      1. Syd.
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        Norwich give them a tough game and were unlucky not to get something from the match

    Seems like a good GW for me to use bench boost. Either that, or I have to deal with this benching dilemma.

    Thoughts on this team would be greatly appreciated, cheers lads!

      BB DGW.

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        So who to bench this GW?

          Not Mahrez

          1. ★Kuntheman★
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 4 days ago

            Which of the defenders? Leaning Azpilicueta.

              • 16 Years
              10 years, 4 days ago

              Probably Azpi.

              1. ★Kuntheman★
                • 10 Years
                10 years, 4 days ago

                Yeah Chelsea always manage to concede at least one goal. Looks like that's my move. Cheers mate!

        this is true, but if you dont want to BB DGW, then with your team, this looks like a good week

        1. ★Kuntheman★
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 4 days ago

          Exactly, looks like a good week if there was no DGW.

      Why would you bench Mahrez? Or you just done that assuming BB...

      anyway, bench Aldy, Firmino and either Payet/Alli (just injury/fitness doubt) or one of your Southampton defenders.

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        Not assuming BB. Worried about Mahrez against that defense.

          But you want to play Vardy?

          1. ★Kuntheman★
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 4 days ago

            I'd play Vardy against anyone. He's central to their attacking play. They just hoof it up to him in hard games. On penos too

  27. nkhoughton

    Forster (Butland)
    Bertrand, Huth, Bellerin (Nyom, Kolarov)
    Ozil, Mahrez, Arnautovic, Firmino, Payet
    Costa (C) Vardy (Ighalo)

    1FT or Wait? Thoughts

      I'm waiting I don't want to take a - 4 to get rid of Iggy

    Would be good to see analysis behind WCing for dgw34 and bearing a gap for gw35 versus WC for GW 35 blank and subsequent DGW.

        Thanks for that

      Really need the fixtures for it. FA Cup will give the answers.

    Costa owners keeping or getting rid with the fear of him being rested?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Which are you doing?

      1. 1895Reds
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        Keeping him at the moment and then bringing in Aguero.

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 4 days ago

          Probably what I'd do if I had Costa and no Kun.

  30. Lyonnais
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 4 days ago

    Are Targett/Cedric nailed on?! Need a defender who will definitely play in GW30 and I'm not sure if it's worth the risk. I could also afford van Dijk but I already have Ivan, Toby & Bellerin who are quite expensive. I would loose some flexibility in my squad.
