Fantasy Football Scout Cup – Third Round Draw

Following an exceptionally high scoring second round there are now no former winners left in our open-to-all Fantasy Premier League Cup competition.

All four ex-champions to survive the first round departed at the second stage, which took place during Gameweek 31’s limited set of fixtures.

Reigning champion TH14 was seen off 85-82 by Ilovebaps , A Manager Has No Name was beaten 107-100 by horlicks esq, MCH succumbed to The dinkum donuts 82-78 and Wild Rover failed to overcome Gloria Kanchelskis in their 86-81 clash.

Despite just four matches taking place in Gameweek 31, there were 41 managers who returned a minimum of 100 points.

The second round’s highest scoring was dmcqt. He notched 128 points, rockets from 28,412nd to 7,475th in the overall rankings and earns a round three encounter with 232,058-placed The Brown Casanova.

Despite dipping ten places overall to 48th, thisisdiz remains the highest ranked manager. Norman conquest (rank 69,117) is the unfortunate manager to draw this high-flyer in the third round.

Another notable round three match up is 7,845-ranked hwhite94’s tie with the competition’s second-highest placed manager, Always Captain Kun, who is in 63rd spot.

Elsewhere, 43,939-ranked 2 Girls 1 Shlup’s giant killing skills will be put to test once again, when he meets 1,561st ranked Dharmabum. He made it through to the third round by defeating FFScout’s 3,941-placed tech guru matzi11a in the second round and after seeing off former champion Gooner Dave in round one.

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

      Who are your keepers?

      1. Totti

        de gea and fabianski

    4. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Morgan looks a safe bet there.

      1. Totti
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        morgan or dunk?

    5. TLF

      Fernandez another option if you fancy Swans double up.

    6. Tosa86
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      u just choose VDH and lowton...you can choose gomez but he's not titular or hegazi?

  2. Belalugozi78
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    6 years, 1 month ago

    Is it worth going with D.Silva in WC or better avoid City midfielders considering their extreme schedule?

    it would be:
    A)Silva, VDH, Mariappa, Adrian
    B) Kenedy, Naughton, Otamendi, Cech

    1. Totti
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      i'm going with silva next week only and keeping 0.3 itb to shift to son on gw 33

      First mention of Ramsey. If he kept fit he'd be a no brainer.

      1. Belalugozi78
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        True. But he is always injured

  4. Dele
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Tarkowski > Lowton?
    &
    Smalling/Mustafi > Christensen?

    DDG
    Smalling, Tarkowski, Mustafi
    Salah, Mahrez, Son, Willian
    Auba, Lukaku, Vardy

    Fab, Kennedy, Chilwell, VDH

    1. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Definitely the Lowton one

  5. Saka Rice
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Isn't there a chance J Ayew won't play both GW34 games since he would be out for a couple of weeks?

    1. Numb
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Especially if Tammy does well in the meantime

    2. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I don't think its a big concern. Perhaps go with Barnes and switch later.

    3. TLF
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Back fresh, he'll certainly get minutes & probably start both.

  6. Salah Fingers
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    A - Alonso and Firmino

    or

    B - Monreal/Smalling and Lukaku

    1. fattfattygavgav
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      A

    2. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      A easy for now

    3. Belalugozi78
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      A

    4. Buck The Trent
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Best combo for 12.0 m ?

      A Mkhi + Dummett
      B GroB + Bailly

    5. Salah Fingers
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Thanks!

  7. Fpl Richie

    Are Barnes, Murray and JAyew all on pens?

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Jyew and Murray probably are, Wood might be ahead of Barnes

      1. Fpl Richie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Ok. They don't win many I guess, Brighton most likely in that aspect.

    2. Numb
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Murray is. The others depending who else is playing

      1. Fpl Richie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Ta. Sounds right.

    3. Over Midwicket
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Murray is. Barnes is behind Wood in the pecking order and JAyew I haven't got the foggiest.

  8. Kai
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Brighton's next 2 home games worth to get a defender there?

    1. Over Midwicket
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      How many CS have they kept recently?

  9. Nolberto Solano
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    On my WC. Which option for the run in?

    A) Morgan, A.King & Firmino
    B) Chilwell, Kenedy & Vardy

    1. Belalugozi78
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      if you have FH B, if not A gives you more players for gw35

  10. Ronnies
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    1. Buck The Trent
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

    posting again, bottom of page

    this is best i coul get so far, problem is i have no 2. gk

    3.9 Ddg
    Alonso, Smalling, Lowton, Vdh, Simpson
    Sterling, Salah, Son, Wilian, Mahrez
    Firmino, Auba, J.Ayew

    gw34 Firmino, 3.9 to Vardy an playing gk

    any ideas what can i do different?

  12. hogree
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    On WC

    1. Lukaku + Arnie + 0.2
    2. Firmino + Mahrez

    1. BusbySwede
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      On my WC.

      DDG, Hennesey
      Alonso, Morgan, Lowton, Tomkins, Mariappa
      Salah, Mahrez, Mkhi, Doucoure, Milivojevic
      Firminho, Aubameyang, Lukaku

      0 itb.

      Still have my FH.
      Any opinions? Two much on attack? Weak midfield? Alonso/DDG to expensive? How about ditch Alonso and bring in Willian?
      DDG to a cheaper gk to bring in like Mustafi for Mariappa?

      1. BusbySwede
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Sorry, was going for a new comment not a reply..

  13. Green Jumper
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    I'll have to find 0.1m from somewhere but I'm thinking Tarkowski will be a better bet over the run in than Lowton.

    Is there anybody else doing end of season planning without the Wildcard?!

    Understandably there is a huge amount of conversation on WC planning, but nothing advising those who played an early 2nd WC.

    Personally, I played my wild card in early Jan to overhaul my squad, but still have free hit, TC and bench boost left..

    Whilst I definitely wish I still had the WC chip at my disposal, I don't overly regret playing it early as it allowed me to include the likes of Shaqiri and Murray way ahead of their form and price increases.

    At the moment my team is heavy on GW 31 players (9) so my plan is to gradually shift the weakest of these out week by week with the aim of getting as many strong GW34 and GW37 players as possible by the time they come around. I would then play the FH chip in GW 35 to ensure I have a good 7 weeks lead up to build my team for GW37.

    BB and TC will depend on how the fixtures fall..

    Overall this definitely feels like a weaker position to be in, but I am banking (/hoping) on the following:
    - Teams become overly focused on the DGWs and in the weeks outside of these I will have a differential advantage by having non GW players who are in form and will hopefully outscore
    - The team I build for GW 37 will consist of DGW players selected nearer the time, and should therefore be based on a more informed insight

    One can hope!

    Anyone else in this position? If so, what are your plans?
