We can now reveal who has made it through to the fourth round of our Fantasy Football Scout Cup and the third round of the Members tournament.

Fantasy Football Scout Cup, Round 4

All four of round three’s remaining former champions live to fight another day. 

Of this quartet Gribude has the toughest test, as he takes his 60,500 ranked team into battle with 29,687 placed chrisdharris, while Mark sets himself up with a tie against Wolfsburgers, who, with a ranking of 22,408, is 11,726 places higher.

Sleepysi (ranked 30,965) appears to have a smoother passage to the next round as he squares up to 169,564 placed melvinmbabazi. Similarly Ninja_Fit_Saints (ranked 400,062) looks to be the favourite in his encounter with community veteran Rasping Drive, who is just inside the top one million in the rankings.

The competition’s highest placed competitor Elvarus emerged victorious from his round three clash with Warsworn. Next up for this 167th placed manager is a fourth round tussle with 137,849 ranked Joey Barton and friends.

Other notable ties include former FPL champion Tom Fenley’s match-up with Flying Nugget.

The full  third round results can be found here, while the full fourth round draw can be found here.

Members Cup, Round 3

As mentioned, there will definitely be a new name on the trophy this time around with our former winner suffering an exit in the first round.

Despite being ranked only 495,513, Big Mac 24 may fancy his chances after dispatching round two’s highest ranked manager tisza (placed 223). Next up for this giant killer is another tough tie, against 81,560 placed Jeremylinter.

Mark survives his second round encounter with Deanamo Jammy to set up a sweet match up against 298,629 ranked Toffee777.

I also progress and take my 14,795 placed troops with me into a third round tie with rrcmc (ranked 302,688). Paul, who is placed at 223,287 in the rankings, is another survivor and has a tricky contest against No pressure jose (ranked 56,428).

The third round also features matches between Bend It Like Bennett and Gnu, while Cheeseoid takes on Gotham.

The full second round results can be found here, while the full third round draw can be found here.

    Should I give Richarlson one more game??

    Richarlson âž¡ Arnautovic -4 is what I'm thinking before deadline

    Or give him a week to do for -4

    Maguire âž¡ Ogbonna
    Richarlson âž¡ Pogba

    1. Coaly
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      His next 3 fixtures look good if he can start hitting the target with his shots

    2. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Arnie Yuck

    3. HashAttack
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      the Ox is pretty cheap - 5.6M .... can see him scoring against Arsenal

      1. Krionos
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        I can't see him start against arsenal

    4. Vlad Tepes
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      No lol, I would not even do it for free.

  2. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    OK Sterling you're in.

    Hopefully for just one or two games then your toast when Silva returns.

    1. RÏÉ BY

      is he definitely playing he might be still freaked out about this attack http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/42429178

    1. QueefParkRangers
      • 11 Years

      2. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        There is no need to be upset

  3. Monkey Hanger
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Who is going to score the most pts this week :-

    A. Richarlison away to Brighton.

    B. Mahrez home to Utd?

    1. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Hopefully Rich as a Jones/Smalling owner 🙂

    2. Ibracadabra
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      C. It will most likely be a 2-2 draw.

    3. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Richarlison

  4. Sims
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    who gets more points over the next 4 GWs?

    DDG: lei BUR SOT eve

    LLoris (plus elliot in blank GW): bur SOT BRH swa WHU

    1. Ibracadabra
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Probably Lloris because of the extra fixture. Think United will concede against Leicester.

    2. Digital-Real
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Lloris playing against low scoring teams

    3. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      No one is going to vote against DDG...

      1. Sims
        • 9 Years

        1. HashAttack
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Missed out this week (DDG 3 / Adrian 6) ... Adrian was an upgrade to Lossl who played gw16 (DDG 2 / Lossl 6)
          I expect I will DDG will play 3 out 4 matches but not every one

    1. Yozzer
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Jones not in squad. Probably injured again knowing him

      1. Ibracadabra
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        LOL, probably rested...

      2. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Smalling isn't either. They're first choice.

        1. J T
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Yes he is

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Good no Jones.

    3. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 8 Years

      city are going to best that team

      1. potatoace
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        *beat

  5. Legomané
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Thoughts much appreciated:

    1. G2G (0FT 0.0ITB) Kun(c) but no City mids
    2. Coutinho > Sterling (-4)
    3. Kane Carroll > 6.8 KDB (-8)
    4. Kane RLC Carroll > Quaner Sterling Sané (-12)

    Pope
    Christensen Jones Smalling Ogbonna
    Hazard Salah Coutinho RLC
    Aguero(c) Kane(v)

    (Elliot Carroll DCL Daniels)

  6. Henning
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Is Lingard a good option to get in for Groos/Richarlison. How nailed is he?

    1. Matt Sk
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Pogba is the best option if you can stretch to that price

    2. Pooodle
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Not very nailed at all

    3. Coaly
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      For Gross yes, I’d do that

    4. ljuta zena
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      He is very nailed even when Pogba was playing

      1. Pooodle
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        That's just not true.

        1. Prison Mike
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          It's true for the time being Mkhi is massively out of favour.

    5. HashAttack
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      OX -5.6M

      1. George Sillett
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        This has to be a wind up ?

        1. HashAttack
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          One that I would consider if I was selling Gross / Richarlo and maybe save a bit ... always a chance he scores against his old team

  7. raoulduke71
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    a) Smalling, Coutinho & Richarlison (already have Jones)
    b) Cresswell, Coutinho & Pogba (have Jones & Sterling)
    c) Smalling, Sane & Pogba (have Jones & Sterling)

    1. Coaly
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      B definitely

  8. fr3d
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Imagine if Cook and Arter picks up a yellow each tonight. Their team will be shredded even before the away trip to mci. So tempted to bring in Kun

    1. Yozzer
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Tempting kane --》 kun C

    2. Coaly
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Or Morata

    3. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      That's just speculation. City will thump them anyway.

  9. xRedArrow
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Captain:

    A) Kun (BOU)
    B) Raheem (BOU)
    C) Haz (eve)
    D) Kane (bur)

    1. Yozzer
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      A

    2. Matt Sk

    No Salah at Melwood?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Xmas hats possibly.

    2. Numb
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Doesn't celebrate Xmas

    3. Chenku╰☆╮
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Oh no. Why Salah why.

    4. pundit of punts
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      You know the reason.

      1. Davido989

        8 years, 2 months ago

        http://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/first-team/283858-photos-reds-make-christmas-visit-to-alder-hey

        And he wears BetVictor gear. Not in training pics so far either.

        1. pundit of punts
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Interesting.

        2. Numb
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          More Salah scaremongering? Every week!

    5. Monkey Hanger
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Gone to Cairo for Xmas.

    6. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      He's on the pics though?

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        That was a different day.

    7. Optimus.
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      If you look closely at Firminho's teeth you can actually see that Salah is taking the photo in the reflection

    8. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Tricking Arsenal.

    9. FirminoIsBetterThanYou
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      This has happened a few times recently there's never been anything in it, AnfieldExpress tweeting he was there but just didn't train apparently nothing in it, he's fit for Friday.

  11. Magic Hat
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    I’ve had a shocker. Signed Silva for a -4 in a Sat night rage transfer (Austin too).

    Shall I swallow my pride and take the -8 for Silva to Sterling? Or go hit mad like Jay, and accept a -12 to do RLC to sterling, and Firmino to DCL.

    At that point, I might as well do -16, ditch Kane to Aguero and captain him. Fear I’ve ruined my season...

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      If you do Silva to Sterling, you lost 4 points.

      1. Magic Hat
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Well yeah. I’ve already taken -4 to get Silva. Now it’s another -4 to replace him with sterling. Or I hold a week and have to play RLC, or Wimmer

    2. Odikostar
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      No. No hits, but why did you sign him when he didn’t play against Spurs

      1. fr3d
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        In other words, you think Sterling will get less than 4 points this gw?

      2. Magic Hat
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        No more* hits. I’m already on -4. I’d lined up the move, had a couple of beers, and bought into some bogus rumours about Silva’s absence. Fingers crossed for him btw. Price drop tonight. Sterling likely rise

    3. Pooodle
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Ouch... well at the very least wait until there's more news on Silva.

      1. Magic Hat
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Price swing of 0.2 if I don’t make the move tonight

    4. Monkey Hanger
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Everyone seems to have gone crazy. Why not a -20.

      1. Magic Hat
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Cos those are hard earned points!

    5. QueefParkRangers
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      wow, step away, just bench him this week?

      Survive till 1st Jan then WC for free

      1. Magic Hat
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        WC on hold for late season DGWs. But appreciate the counsel

    6. Yozzer
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Your on tilt. I've done similar a few times. Just accept the - 4 didn't work. Don't take any more hits imo

      1. Magic Hat
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        I am sir. Desperate man. Maybe I hold and make Austin (c) to squeeze points from this awful pair of moves

        1. Yozzer
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          I would. If you get sterling now you given 4 points to everyone who also has him. I'm always on tilt. Best to do nothing times and next gw it won't matter as much

    7. HashAttack
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      always go for the -16 instead of -12 ... don't know why but statistically -16 is good for me, -12 is bad

      I risked buying Valencia on Saturday night and have had to sell him the same week ...shit happens

  12. Delph & Safety
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Best Kane/Morata replacement?

    Don’t want Rooney when I have DCL. Firmino to get rotated in next 3 games?

    1. Batshuayi Crazy
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Aguero for next 3 in that case? Then back to Kane for the double

    2. The Mighty Hippo
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Kun

      1. Delph & Safety
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        I want to invest more cash in midfield though.

  13. George Sillett
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    David Moyes has announced that he wants to add quality to the squad in the January transfer window. West Ham fans are you worried ?

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Why should they be? I'm sure Steven Pienaar will be a great addition to the squad.

    2. Chenku╰☆╮
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      He will get fellani back. And go for benteke..

      1. The Mighty Hippo
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        ha, imagine Benteke and big Andy C up front together 🙂

      2. Yozzer
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Bentekke? He said 'ADD quality ' not prepare for the championship

    3. Monkey Hanger
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Adnan Januzaj, and Donald Love incoming.

    4. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Moyes worked wonders at Everton when he had no money to spend. Giving him a transfer Kitty is a bad idea.

    5. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Not at all. In Moyes we trust. 😀

      1. George Sillett
        • 10 Years

        Good luck with that Doos when he goes shopping .☺

          1. George Sillett
            • 10 Years

            Harrods or Lidl ?

    7. Syd.

      Can get Fellaini on a free at the end of the season

          Plus Giroud is injured now too which means Lacazette might actually play 90 minutes 🙂

    Hi! Some opinions for these two questions, please:

    Play one this gameweek?
    A) DCL (CHE)

    Better mid-term combo?
    1) Morata & Richarlison

    What to do we think about Shaqiri and Monreal? Debating on Alonso+Shaqiri or Pogba+Monreal.

    Alonso and Pogba is close both excellent options.

    Thoughts guys?

    1. Lazaretti
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Alonso + Shaqiri bcs Shaqiri has set pieces, pen's, corners though I would like to also fit Pogba in.

    Is it worth getting aguero for.city coverage for.kane as opposed to kdb. already own sterling

  28. Ibracadabra
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Any stand-out option from these three? Have 1.1m in bank so can afford a 5.6m defender with Kiko out and a 5.5m defender with Francis out. Already own Jones and Courtois so A or B would be a CHE or MANU double up...

    A) Francis -> Smalling (-4)
    B) Femenia -> Christensen (-4)
    C) Play one of Kenny (CHE) or Francis (MCY) alongside Jones, Ogbonna

    1. LÖrKingMuch

      A) looks good to me
