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.

    So - how long until Pulis is announced as Swansea manager?!

    1. Yogi_mike
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      xD

    2. Pariße
      • 10 Years

      NO! He'd ruin it.

      1. Reuser
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        It would be a real fall from grace for Swansea after the great football they played a few years back.

        1. Pariße
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Exactly.

    3. _Make
      • 9 Years

      Solid ToTP.

    what do you think gameweek 22 "free hit"? buying lloris, sanchez, ogbonna, lanzini, alli and kane?

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

      League Cup final may be a better option but if you don't own any of those 6 at the moment it could be ok. Many on here already own 1-2-3 West Ham/Spurs so it's less enticing.

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

      Free hit police incoming

      SGW players will beat those 6.

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

      The thing about the free hit is that you only want those guys for 1 week, I wouldn't mind still owning Ogbonna or Adrian, Kane, etc. for the fixtures immediately following. West Ham players are cheap.

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

      Triple captain Kane

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

      the 48 hours between games worries me, good chance some of those only play 1 match

      1. BananaNose Maldonado
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        This. I think the free hit chip on this week is a bad idea.

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

        It’s an interesting point.

        ...and opens up a bigger question for our general DGW tactics.

        Problem is I can’t see Pep playing his star players so close together, but West Ham don’t have many other options, and players like Kane, Lukaku, Pogba will probably be able to play twice in three days.

    7. lespaul
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Errr that's 4 spurs

    8. balint84
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      maybe a wildcard is better option?
      maybe i want to keep ogbonna or lanzini, but lloris is too expensive...
      a gameweek before i dont want to buy west ham players they wont play anyway

    Am concerned about Silva so am thinking:
    Silva & Hazard OUT, KDB & Sterling IN
    Yes or No?

    1. WALOR
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Do it confidently now
      or do it ruefully later

  4. LIARS POKER
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Seen a lot of talk about the 'most transferred in curse', am I the only one who thinks it kind of make sense?

    Realistically, the probability of a player getting a big haul 2 games in a row is small. Still captaining Sterling this weekend though!

    1. _Make
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Gambler's fallacy. He's already got the first so the odds reset. If anything, he's proven that he can so the odds on the next one are better.

    2. Rik Waller
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      If a coin lands tails 9 times in a row, it's probability of landing heads the 10th is still 50/50

    3. Reuser
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      But weekly performances aren't necessarily in silo.

      The fact someone has hauled last week means that he is in form, higher in confidence - but will possibly me marked more closely this week.

      Lots of different variables.

  10. tm245
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Rashford just a bit off the mark.

    a) Coutinho

  12. Dele

  13. Ziyech on the Bench
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Hey guys,

    Fabianski

    Otamendi, Yedlin, Kabasele

    Hazard, Salah, Coutinho, Richarlison

    Diouf, Aguero (C), Lukaku

    Eliott, RLC, Francis, Mbemba.

    FT: 0, ITB: 1.2

    A) Coutinho => Sterling for a -4?
    B) Coutinho => Sterling, then an upgrade Richarlison => Pogba for -8?
    C) Hold

    Thanks guys!

  14. Salarrivederci

    Gonna buy either Smalling or Jones tonight. Who should I get?

    Jones - more nailed, more BAPS, no attacking threat, made of glass
    Smalling - less nailed, less BAPS, more attacking threat, can play more games within a short amount of days.

    1. Pep Roulette
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      I went for Smalling because of his goal threat!

  15. Pep Roulette
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    I can afford Choupo & Silva to Lingard & Sterling before the next price rise! What to do? No other United or City attacker!

  18. Lanley Staurel

    Just sold Silva and brought in Pogba. Ahead of the game or deluded?!

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

      Daft to do it while Pogba is playing.

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

      Deluded, Pogba has 80minutes of football to get throu, unnecessary risk

    3. Salarrivederci
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      You should probably have waited till after the Bristol game 😉

    4. Lanley Staurel

    Now that Sterling is on the bench. If he comes on does that mean he's not guaranteed to start at the weekend

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

      Eh? They played last night

      1. Sim Simma
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Sterling is on the bench tonight.. Didn't you know ?

        1. Jimmers
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        There's a Sterling that plays for Chelsea. He's trying to be funny you see.

    2. ZimZalabim

  21. Syd.

    Swansea sack Paul Clement

    Club sells its best 2 players fit money and rather manager becomes the fall guy

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

      And yet Mark Hughes is still in a job...

  22. Bouncebackability
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    So they sanction the sale of Llorente and Sigurdsson, get nobody in and then expect the manager to improve?

    Madness.

    Consensus Poll

    Already own Lloris (dont ask why) and Kane.

    Who would be the best third Spurs player for the dgw in your opinion?

    A) Vertonghen
    B) Son
    C) Eriksen
    D) Alli
    E) Sanchez?

    1. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      Son. May not start both but can come on and score from bench

      1. #FPLBhuna
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah think I want a guaranteed started so tempted by a defensive double up

  30. diabydoesgallas
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Hazard to KDB done with FT. Risky but gives me a midfield of Salah/Sterling/Sane/KDB. Anyone else done similar?

    1. Gnu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Your midfield looked pretty good before you swapped out Hazard to be fair.

      1. diabydoesgallas
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Well I did leave out RLC to make it sound better 🙂

    2. J T

      Salah Sterling Pogba Courtinho Hazard here 😀
