This afternoon we reveal the results from the seventh rounds of the Fantasy Football Scout Cup XII and Members Cup VI as well as roll out the eighth round draws that take place in Gameweek 30.

The Fantasy Football Scout Cup XII reaches the quarter final stage in Gameweek 30 with Nick of Oz emerging as a key manager to beat. His impressive score of 95 in Round 7 takes him to 1,672nd place in the overall rankings and the accolade of being the highest-ranked manager left in the tournament. He faces Tap in the quarter finals, who has an overall ranking of 76,392.

The highest scorer in Round 7 was Leon Harris. His tally of 98 takes him up to 11,994 in the rankings and a quarter final clash with Fumi.

Community regular Numb marches on to set up a quarter final tie with Youth Hostelling w/Chris Eubank.

Meanwhile, konman’s giant killing exploits continue. For the second round in a row he has seen off the tournament’s highest-ranked mnager with Vodkapad becoming his latest victim in Round 7. The 64,487th-ranked manager will be hoping to make it a hat-trick of heavy hitters to conquer when he takes on the tournament’s second highest-placed manager CB8, who has an overall rank of 3758.

The full Fantasy Football Scout Cup XII Round 7 results can be found here, while the Round 8 draw can be found here.

The semi-final draw for the Members Cup sees Space Cadete take on Ola Svanheld, the competition’s highest placed remaining manager with a rank of 72,686. While GOB will meet community veteran Rasping Drive.

Space Cadete is in good shape for Gameweek 30’s semi-final match, and is already able to field a full XI despite the reduced fixture list. He may need to spend his single free transfer on back up for Southampton’s Cedric Soares though.

Ola Svanheld is just a goalkeeper change away from being able to field an XI, with one of David De Gea or Wayne Hennessey, who both miss Gameweek 30, set to be transferred out. Both these semi-finalists have Sergio Aguero and Harry Kane, the current FFScout captain poll leaders, firmly in place.

Rasping Drive has an overall ranking of 218,553. in his eighth season playing Fantasy Premier League. He also has a top 500 overall finish also under his belt but it is GOB goes into this semi-final as the favourite despite his overall ranking of 521,940...

 While Rasping Drive faces taking a hit to field XI in Gameweek 30, GOB is in far better shape, as he is already able to field an XI without a transfer. However, he may need to use a transfer to cover Spurs’ rotation-prone full back Kyle Walker.

The full Members Cup Round 7 results can be found here, while the Round 8 semi-finals draw can be found here.

    Best option lads?

    A) Payet > silva/yaya

    B) save trade and play Vvd (4.3.3)

    1. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      B

    2. ZLATAN'S PONYTAIL
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      B

      Also, I think payet is a season keeper. Massive consistency. Yay a and silva bigger names but have been disappointing.

    3. The Nuttmxn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Gut says B, Payet is so integral he should keep dripping points.

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

    Just seen those excellent hot topic posts.

    Adrian and Hennessey looks great gk pair for dgw34. Expecially for those who are looking to bench boost in that week.

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

      Palace has Norwich at home in gw33 as well

    2. The Gambler.
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      is Hennessey fit? noticed McCarthy played (badly) last GW

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

        Don't know but hopefully he is fit for dgw. Altough wouldn't mind if not (McC owner)

  3. Link
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Can't decide what to do here...

    A. Bellerin > Kompany
    B. Save FT and play Bertrand/Wolly

  4. inter the wild
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone else hoping to God that Kolarov plays. He's doing a Baines on me.

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      I'm sorry. I gave up, a few weeks back. 🙁

    1. super zlatan
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      😉

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

      lol:) the guy was speechless

  5. Public user
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    1. Francis/wolls + 1ft

    Or

    2. Antonio/Sanchez to silva + no FT

    Think most will choose 1?

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

    Would you take a -4pt this weekend to ensure you have a keeper?

    Thinking McCarthy to Fabianski, who I will also play the next week or two over DDG.

    Part of me thinks a zero in net is better than a -2.

    1. ZLATAN'S PONYTAIL
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Unless you can get hart

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

        I could, but don't really want him.

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

      no, because it's very likely he will concede and it will be a waste of the transfer and -2 points

  7. GreennRed
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Norwich to score at least one v City at home.

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

      As long as they concede 5, I don't mind if they score a couple.

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

      0-3

  8. DAV087
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Who are the teams most likely to have a dgw 34?

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

      Teams who have blanked

    2. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      < >

  9. Waterboyd
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Butland (Elliot)
    VVD Williams Simpson (Targett, Ward)
    Sigurdsson Alli Mahrez Ozil (Payet)
    Kun Vardy Kane

    A. Ozil -> Yaya
    B. Payet -> Yaya
    C. Targett -> Kompany
    D. VVD -> Kompany
    E. Save

  10. Jubilanus / BSC Small Boys …
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    If all the teams we think have dgw 34s... has anyone done a template 15 full of dgwers?

    Im just interested to see who we could afford player wise.

    Aguero, Costa, Lukaku, Sanchez, isn't gonna leave a whole lot of change!

    1. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Doing a template now is pretty pointless IMO because no-one knows the teams playing DGW34 - it is all just guesswork

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

      This assumes that CPL MCI EVE LIV MUN WHU and ARS have a double in 34

      HENNESSEY HART
      MONREAL Simpson MORENO JAGS Wimmer
      LINGARD SANCHEZ SILVA Mahrez PAYET
      MARTIAL AGUERO Vardy

      Can get here with no WC and means I have 11 DGWrs. Reckon id be happy with that

      1. Belalugozi78
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        But you won't have 11 in 35

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

          There is that. I should listen to Jarvish and stop planning until fixtures are confirmed

          1. Belalugozi78
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Yep, we have to wait at least until Sunday, as some teams even if they have DGW may be not worth investing cause Leicester or Spurs for example have better fixtures.

      2. Pea Soup
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Have you just chosen the teams for a DGW34 that suits you by any chance?

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

          Of course 🙂

  11. TMF86
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Worth taking a -4 hit or not?

    Forster
    Simpson/Alderweireld (Koscielny/Monreal/Azpi)
    Alli/Mahrez (Ozil/Payet/Firmino)
    Kane/Aguero/Vardy

    Sort of don't want to change my squad drastically as I'm pretty happy with it. The only thin I'm contemplating is Firmino - > Siggy for 1 week only.

    Thoughts?

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

      why 1 week? he is in good form and Villa at home after this GW. so definately not worth for 1 week only

      1. TMF86
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Mainly because Firmino has been bubbling along nicely and people in my main league don't seem to have him...

  12. ZLATAN'S PONYTAIL
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Or Monresl for Williams?

  13. KISSES
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    I know McClaren is an absolute mug, wolly, prat (not limited to any of the above) but the poor guy's job is being touted all over the media and he hasnt even been sacked yet.

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

      they lose heavily at leicester and he's gone

      1. Pap Le Cissier
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        That's a given then! 😀

    2. Pap Le Cissier
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Think it's due, press conference tomorrow is cancelled

    3. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      They're waiting til after Easter to appoint Jesus because he's the only man that can save them. Easter is a busy time for JC apoarently.

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

        True, every year his diary piles up around that time

    4. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      His £50k a week wages for being useless would ease my pain if I was him

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

        True, I guess that mitigates the sympathy a fair bit

    5. 1966 was a great year for E…
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      They know the score when they sign the massive contract.

  14. Space Cadete
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Awesome!
    First year as a member and into the semis of the members cup.
    Good times.
    So tempting to use a chip early to improve the chances but got to try and win this thing with honor right?
    I owe the whole cup run to Charlie Daniels really. Legend

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

      nice one

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

      Very well played 🙂 Forget honor. Your opponent wont be thinking of honor.

      Ps nice name 🙂

      There’s only one Jorge Cadete,
      he’s got hair like spaghetti,
      He’s Portuguese and one of these (makes the universal signal of putting the thumb and forefinger together and making an up and down motion),
      walking in a Rangers wonderland

      🙂

      1. Space Cadete
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Of course you wouldn't think about honor if that's the Jorge Cadete song you sing!

        1. Space Cadete
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          All together now...

          There's only one Jorge Cadete,
          He puts the ball in the netty,
          He's Portuguese,
          He scores with ease,
          Walking in Cadete Wonderland!

          Much better version!

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

            Haha 🙂 All the best to you, mate. Hope you do it.

    3. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      What's the prize?

      1. Space Cadete
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        £200 Amazon voucher for winner and £100 for runner up.
        Not to be sniffed at, but the real prize would be the kudos of taking the title among such a band of elite players.

        1. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Wow - definitely use those chips then 🙂 And good luck 🙂

  15. Hooky
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    After this weekend there is only one more set of PL fixtures in March! Kun heading off for another International break is always a bad thing 🙁

    1. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Big games as well for Kun as Argies are struggling in qualification

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

        Indeed. Chile v Argentina is massive

  16. Fuddled FC
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    I'm transferring our Nyom but who for?

    a) Williams
    b) Wolly

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

      Williams for the good, but I have a feeling Wolly can outscore him in this particular GW

    2. Hasselbaink Forever
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Tricky one, I have both and need to bench one. Think I'll play Wolly if Shawcross is confirmed fit

  17. Salah Fingers
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    GTG? 1ft £2.4itb - Ideally I'd like to make a transfer to have one player on the bench for cover but nothing really stands out.

    Butland

    Williams - Alder - Simpson - VvD

    Mahrez - Alli - Siggy

    Aguero - Kane - Vardy

    (Hennes - Ozil - Payet - Bellerin)

  18. jennmenn
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Targett is my eleventh player come gw 30, (bench Azpi, Ozil nd Bellerin..)
    Should I gamble that Targett plays, save ft and have a stronger team come gw 34, (planing on wc 36.) Or should I take out the likes of Azpi to field a stronger XI this gw? Alot of pros and cons, my head hurts 😉 Zero in the bank, so stuck with Targett for now.

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

      Stick then, I'm undecided at the value of the extra man this weekend, a 1 point or 2 point score would render the transfer a waste now

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

        Stick nd stones. Yea I think i'm leaning to save the transfer. cheers!

  19. Pea Soup
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    My only issue this week is who to take out and who to bring in.

  20. cravencottage
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Is the WC best played before the DGW to get in as many DGW players as possible, or after the week to set the team going forward? Thanks

    1. 1966 was a great year for E…
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I've always used it before. If you happen to already have loads of DGWers anyway, maybe after would work.

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

      Before

  21. GS456
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Got a gut feeling to captain Eriksen this week? Goals imminent and great chance creation stats back it up.

  22. boombaba
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    I know people keep saying there is likely to be a dgw34 but who is most likely to be playing a dgw

    1. 1966 was a great year for E…
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      The teams that miss a game this GW, plus Man City.

      1. 1966 was a great year for E…
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        *and Newcastle

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

          Thanks.. I better save transfers then lol

  23. Mookty
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Struggling to see what transfer to make this week...

    Butland, Hennessey
    Dann, Fuchs, Alderweireld, Daniel, van Dijk
    Payet, Mahrez, Arnie, Siggy, Oxil
    Aguero, Vardy, Kane

    Thinking either:

    a) Dann to Williams
    b) Arnie to Alli
    c) Payet to Alli
    d) Ozil to Alli
    e) Butland to Hart
    f) Ozil to Toure
    g) Save my FT

    I have a WC, Bench Boost and Triple Captain in the bag.

  24. Can’t beat em so&hell…
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    I've only got 10 starting at the moment. Happy to go for it with 11. What would your change be?

    We've got 1FT and £1.8 ITB.

    Butland

    Toby/ Targett/ Kompany

    Alli/ Siggy/ Mahrez

    Aguero/ Kane/ Vardy

    And the non-players - Hennessey/ Ozil/ Firmino/ Azpil/ Jagielka

    What do you reckon?

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

      I would sell Firmino or Jags

    2. Salah Fingers
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Jagielka

    3. Shipstontrev
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Jags to Williams covers you if Targett doesn't play. Everton can't keep cleanies either.

      1. Can’t beat em so&hell…

  25. Az

    • 16 Years

    Any Payet --> Y. Toure considerers here?

    Think it will be my move if he comes through tonight unscathed!

    1. Belalugozi78
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      he doesn't play tonight.

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

        OH.

        /noob

        1. Belalugozi78
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          I did Payet to Siggy a week ago but now it is better to pick MCI midfielder to be prepared to DGW, so reluctantly but yes.

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

      Did it last week!

  26. Pea Soup
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Butland
    Fuchs Toby Smith
    Yaya Siggy Alli Mahrez
    Kane(c) Kun(vc) Vardy

    No bench.

    How does it look??

  27. Sz21
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Wildcard GW 33
    Bench Boost GW 34
    Triple captain GW 37

    These options seem right?

    1. Pea Soup
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      WC 34 and TC 37 for me I think because no BB

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

      I would Tc first

      Then do the WC and BB

      That way your not stuck with a wild card team full of players hat you don't want after the dgw

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

      Only way I would do it your way is if there are more dgw teams for BB to become substantial?...

  28. NobodyF*cksWithTheJesus
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    How's this looking for next week? Save FT or get in a guaranteed midfield starter and replace Targett?

    Butland
    Toby Kompany Targett Huth
    Siggy Alli Mahrez
    Aguero Vardy Kane

    Hennessey Ozil Payet Bellerin

    If there's a transfer needed who should go? Thinking maybe Payet > Silva/Yaya
