The competition in our Fantasy Football Scout Cup contests is intensifying as we enter the final stages, with just 64 teams remaining in both.
The results from the fourth round of the Fantasy Football Scout Cup went to form. The two top-ranked managers – FPL Poker Player in 179 and Elvarus (placed 111th) both earned wins to progress.
Added to that, our four former Cup winners – Mark, Ninja Fit Saints, Gribude and Sleepysi – also found passage into the next round. However, the latter needed to turn to his superior rank (23,302) to edge past MelvinMbabazi as they battled to an 81-point tie.
But something has to give in the next round with our draw creating a stand out head-to-head as Mark faces up to FPL Poker Player over Gameweek 20. In a classic battle of “KaneRemain” vs “KaneExit”, Mark will fancy his chances of a giant-killing of sorts if the Spurs striker can deliver as his captain.
Former FPL winner Tom Fenley remains in the mix with a fifth-round tie against Tap, while the current leader of the Fantasy Football Scout Moderators and Contributors Leauge, Az, will be the hot favourite in his tie with Ibralicious, who currently ranks some 163,000 places below him.

The Members Cup is also down to the final 64 with Mark also making progress here. He’ll face John Nerdelbaum in the next round after squeaking past Toffee777 by just four points. Mark is the final staff member remaining after Paul suffered a defeat to No pressure jose by a nine-point margin.
There are two remaining managers ranking inside the top 2000, with Falcon (1985th) and N@th (1965th) perhaps installed as favourites for the trophy. However, the latter now has a fifth-round tussle with MSalah – ranked 7055 – which looks tight and is arguably the tie of the round.
