This evening we roll out the second round draw of the 13th instalment of our open to all Fantasy Premier League cup competition.

For this latest contest, there are more than £1,000 worth of prizes for UK based entrants courtesy of our partner FanDuel, as well as £350 in Amazon vouchers to the top three managers at the end of the competition.

In addition, the top scoring manager for each round will receive £30 FanDuel credit, with £10 FanDuel credit for the next four best scores.

Among our former winners, last year’s victor I Casillas Winning overcame Sticky Toffee Pudding, 66 to 49. He takes on Tufs, who is ranked more than 600,000 places below him.

Meanwhile, moderator and contributor Stilicho knocked out another former champ Wild Rover and goes on to face Tinyswede in the next round.

Mark and I, also crashed out to end our dreams of a second title, to Buzzedagain and Bash Villa respectively.

Former champ Gribude faired better, overcoming Optimus Clyne, as did Ninja Fit Saints, who stays in the race to become the first to win twice by beating R32omon.

While Gribude’s next opponent Allgonepozzo is ranked just 8,721 places behind him, Ninja Fit Saints has a far tougher test, taking on Jurgen, who is ranked 486,634 places higher.

MCH is another winner to progress, after seeing off Sporting to set up a second round clash with Shem Bayley.

JazzyJ87’s score of 79 sees him win the £30 FanDuel voucher for the highest score of the round.

The four managers to win a £10 FanDuel voucher for having the next highest scores were Pipermaru, galactijoe, Schmeichel Sea and Jinkys Oars.

Another manager to look out for is Pink Unites, who beat 2012/13 FPL champion Tom Fenley 49 to 27. He faces Shanev13 in round two.

Elsewhere, the only Scoutcast regular to go through to round two, Andy85wsm, will be squaring up to Lardy, who is 600,000 places above him in the overall rankings.

Other notable second round match ups include applebonkers’ clash with Back to Back Ballacks and mikeharbrw’s encounter with The Normal One.

The highest ranked manager left in the competition is Simonsimondock, who is currently 211th in the world. Sigfried Sassoon, who is ranked just inside the top 500,000, has the dubious honour of facing him in round two.

The first round results can be found via this link, while the full second round draw can be found here.

    The re emergence of Giroud makes me think I need to ship 1-2 of Wally/Sanchez. Best option here?

    A)
    GW13: Wally & Defoe -> Anichebe & Haz
    GW14: TBC

    B)
    GW13: Sanchez -> Haz
    GW14: Wally & Defoe -> Philips & Kane

    Cech
    Clyne, Stones, Amat
    Sanchez, Cout, Firm, Wally
    Aguero, Defoe, Austin

    Pickford, Capoue, Collins, Kone
    Bank 0.1m, 2FTs

      Nice copy/paste 😉

      1. Easy Street
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        I dont like either of those options btw.

        1. Jinswick
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Don't fancy Haz & Kane to do well?

          1. Easy Street
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Yes but not at the expense of Alexis/Theo

    2. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Both options are terrible imo

      1. Jinswick
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        constructive

        1. La Roja
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Honest

        2. Easy Street
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          You love a RMT dontcha Jins 😉

    3. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years

      Keep Sanchez for this week

    4. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Difficult to get Kane and Hazard in that situation

      1. Jinswick
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Little worried as a Wally/Sanchez owner.

        Wally has to be considered a rotation risk again and with sanchez out wide and ARS not playing very well he's starting to look expensive...

        1. Bolivian Seaman
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          arsenal have such good fixtures, i've kept walcott I think he starts most games. Sanchez is expensive

  2. Lone Wolf FPL
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    when I look at Gunners today (1 shot) I'm not sure if that tactic is good and if Gru will start vs Bou

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      PSG was always going to be a tough game compared to Bournemouth

    2. Worzel Gummidge
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Not sure why Arsenal playing rubbish has anything to do with Gru or if he will start or not. Sanchez, Ozil and Ramsey have been running about like headless chickens. They have been far worse.

  3. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Is this worth -8 hit?

    Lukaku Redmond Mustafi ➡ Gru Coutinho Vvd

    1. Easy Street
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Definitely not.

      1. La Roja
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Thought so

    2. Buck The Trent
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I'd do it.....Cout, VVD are long term investments

  4. Scotty B
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Is Lukaku > Giroud a good transfer this week if I already have Kane & Aguero?

    1. The Nuttmxn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Could be indeed.

  5. dhamphiir

    Olivier Giroud's last 10 shots on target....

      Wow. Get in my team.

      1. Licious Lizard
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Having the exact opposite reaction.

      2. Ibracadabra

        lol that success rate will return to the norm unfortunately...

  6. Greenbackbøøg…

    Very sneaky Sanchez extending his foot to get fouled https://my.mixtape.moe/bdqzjd.mp4

    1. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah definitely played for it

    2. Easy Street
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Everybody does it. If i were sanchez i would have done exactly the same. PSG antics are terrible too.

      1. Greenbackbøøg…
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        I wouldn't

  7. Heavy Data
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Dam i am soo tempted to do ditch Aguero and Sanchez for KDB and Giroud. It would leave me with 0.1itb and give me enough funds to upgrade Anichebe to Costa. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

    1. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      chill

    2. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I would definitely do Aguero Sanchez Ani > KDB Giroud Costa

      1. Heavy Data
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        It is very tempting i have to admit. Ive already made two transfers this week, which is the only thing putting me off doing it. Dont really fancy dropping 16 points this week.

        1. Greenbackbøøg…
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Fair enough

      2. Lone Wolf FPL
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        remember that Kun has Burnley, Sanchez has Bou and Costa has spurs, Giroud is not nailed? And it would be for a hit too.

    3. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Why get rid of Anichebe after only just getting him in?

      1. Heavy Data
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Ive had him a couple of weeks. I play 3-5-2 so he just sits on my bench but with some of the fixtures coming up im looking at going 3-4-3

  8. how now brown cow
    • 11 Years

    How's gundog looking? Reckon he'll be out for yaya at the weekend?

  9. El-Kloppico
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Ohhh.. 0.1 short of doing Kun + Bolasie >> Gru + KdB :'(

    1. Konstaapeli
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Ouch. It's always the 0.1 innit.

  10. ★Kuntheman★

    Gutted 🙁

  11. TorresMagic™

    Stindl red card

  12. ★Kuntheman★
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    RC Stindl! Deserved it. Been fouling everyone.

    1. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I would never have seen that if I was the ref

  13. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Aguero Allen ➡ KDB Gru

    -4

    Yay or nay?

    1. IWR
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Probably

    2. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Nay.

      Gru has done nothing before the pen.

      1. La Roja
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Gru has done nothing?

        He has 10 shots on target overall and 9 goals

        1. Lone Wolf FPL
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          in last 20 Ars games?

        2. Smurf
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          I'm talking about this game.

          1. La Roja
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Do you think I am making decision based on this game?

            1. Smurf
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 16 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              Well seems a knee jerk either way getting in a player who hasn't been starting in the PL and losing the best striker in their league.

              1. La Roja
                • 14 Years
                9 years, 8 months ago

                Now you have a fair point

      2. Slam
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Neither had any other Arsenal player tbf

    3. Easy Street
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Lol no

      1. La Roja
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Why not?

        1. Easy Street
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          I just don't even consider losing Aguero, but that's just me..

    4. Slam
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Yes

  14. shirtless
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years

    Just seen I lost my cup tie on rank...tied on 39! The chance of that!

  15. OptimusBlack
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    How's Aguero Playing ?

  16. IWR
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Is Ozil and Lukaku to Cout and Kane worthy of a double hit? Funds are tightish with prices rising and dropping for Lukaku.

  17. tm245
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Just started watching Arsenal PSG, how was the first half?

    1. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      slow, psg had a lot of possession, not much happening for arsenal

      1. tm245
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Cheers. Just saw that it was a PK in stoppage time for the equalizer.

    2. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Ramsey makes it very dull. He breaks up Arsenals play better than Veratti and Motta.

  18. JIM BOB
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    How old is Lucas Moura?

    He looks about 40

    1. Easy Street
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Obafeme Martins' long-lost brother.

    2. dhamphiir
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      24

  19. tm245
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Ospina statuesque.

  20. Heavy Data
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    From what i recall last season when Giroud played and Sanchez played out wide, Sanchez didnt really score that many points. Am i remembering correctly? I distinctly remember being high most of last season.

    1. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      You must have been high.

      It's a myth that Sanchez scores poorly from out wide and isn't worth the money. He's scored a fair fee hat tricks from out wide. He's played the majority of his Arsenal games out wide and has clearly produced the goods.

      1. Heavy Data
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Good to know. I only started following football last season when i started playing fantasy football with the guys in work. So id say 90% of what i know ive read on here.

        1. Konstaapeli
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Thats some heavy data 😀

    2. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      He was massively explosive, when he came back after christmas he was slow and injured so he just got loads of 2s but did well towards the end of the season

  21. andymck
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Pickford / Marshall
    Vertonghen / Williams / Holebas / Evans / Amat
    Hazard / Coutinho / Firmino / Son / Fletcher
    Aguero / Lukaku / Son

    1 ft and 1.3 itb so Lukaku > Costa? Would rather do it before price changes tonight.

    1. andymck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Austin instead of Son upfront oops

  22. Smurf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Wow Ramsey is AWFUL.

    1. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years

      yeah, that hair..

  23. TorresMagic™

    Just like they planned it!

  25. JIM BOB

  26. Mull
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Arsenal are so bad the other team has to score for them.

  27. Bolivian Seaman
    • 15 Years

    Goalll!

  28. FPL Virgin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Are Walcott owners worried about him not starting tonight or happy that he is being rested?

    1. Konstaapeli
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Happy. (As long we steal a win.)

  29. Clickzy
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Lukaku & Allen out for Austin & Siggy worth a -4?

  30. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    10-10 men each.
