This evening we preview the final of the Fantasy Football Scout Paddy Power Cup XI, plus reveal the winner of the Fantasy Football Members Cup V.

Waltzingmatildas was crowned the latest winner of our Members trophy, claiming a 75-61 victory over faux_C from Gameweek 37’s matches.

With both sides sharing so many assets, it was David Silva’s 9-point contribution and the 10-point return from Hector Bellerin that eventually saw Waltzingmatildas emerge victorious. She (Tanya Sharma) picks up a £200 Amazon voucher as her prize, while faux_C (Chris Doyle) claims a £100 voucher as his runners-up reward.

Chris has another opportunity to find glory, however, as his Gameweek 37 tally proved enough to see him progress to the final of the Paddy Power Cup XI. faux_C edged out HammersXI in our semi-final to move into Sunday’s final.

The big news is that Mark’s sensational run of form, propelling him to an overall rank of 64, has also earned him a place in Sunday’s showpiece to oppose Faux C. Mark’s impressive Gameweek 37 tally of 87 was enough to see off Hutton Dressed as Lahm in the semi-finals.

With a rank of 3825 faux_C goes into the tie as underdog but with markedly different squads, the tie is still hard to call. Our finalists have just three players in common – Jeffrey Schlupp, Sergio Aguero and Alexis Sanchez. Mark’s key differential looks set to be David Silva, while faux_C will be hoping for a haul from Christian Benteke and Olivier Giroud to give him the edge in the tie.

HammersXI and Hutton DressedAs Lahm will now go head-to-head in Sunday’s third place play-off.

Congratulations to our winners and best of luck to Sunday’s finalists. Even Mark.

    I think my transfers will be Ozil and Defoe to Montero and Lukaku for -4.

      Why Montero?

        Looked decent against City. Palace haven't kept CS on Selhurst park for long time.

    Hazard (77%) to drop tonight?

  4. asquishypotato
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Stuck on the last page.

    Gomis for the stats, or Ulloa/Vardy for the fixture?

  5. AugustaBlue
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    I am 3(!) points behind my mini-league leader with a hefty pot up for grabs...
    Hart
    Terry Bellerin Skrtel (Yoshida, Yun)
    Hazard, Bolasie, Sanchez, Ramsey, (Ameobi)
    Kane, Aguero, Vardy

    He has: Krul
    PVA, Clyne, Terry, Kosc (Schlupp)
    Sterling, Caz, Silba (Hazard, Cambiasso)
    Giroud, Benteke Kane

    Do I do Haz > Silva and hope my other differentials pay off, or do I do Haz > Yaya in a flat out gamble?

    1. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Im in very similar situation, 8 points behind in ML and he has Silva, so Im very tempted to try Yaya, lets do it 🙂

      1. Iceball
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Im having doubts though with your team I think its better other than Silva so probably wiser to get Silva and let the other players do the job, is Yaya sure to play?

        1. AugustaBlue
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          That's my fear, he's not exactly nailed down.

  6. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Sunderland won't care if they get hammered and I think they will

    A couple of sore teeth ain't going to stop Hazard from playing

  7. The Generalator
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Any gunners fans have an idea who will start
    Monreal or Gibbs?

    1. HVT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Monreal I reckon.

  8. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    We're all going to end up kicking ourselves for not buying Gomis and saying things like "form over fixtures from now on!!" aren't we

    1. HVT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Away to palace?
      I'm missing the love B.

      1. asquishypotato
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Palace havnt been tight at the back. My worry is that they will spend most of the game running at Swansea though...

        1. Dr Dream
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          Yes they will. The atmosphere at CPL will see to that.

        2. Bubz
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          Palace are a counter attacking team aren't they? Thats why they're much better away from home.

          1. HVT
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 6 months ago

            And Swansea have become Real Madrid overnight!
            I'm out !

          2. asquishypotato
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 6 months ago

            As in spend all the time with the ball, not giving Gomis any time to score.

            Could be the entertaining match of the day

            1. Bubz
              • 12 Years
              10 years, 6 months ago

              Can't see that happening. I'd expect Swansea to have a good amount of possession like they usually do

            2. asquishypotato
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              10 years, 6 months ago

              I'd say the same about Liverpool , and look how that went.

              I do agree with you though, I'll be chipping in on either Gomis or a Leicester forward.

              1. Bubz
                • 12 Years
                10 years, 6 months ago

                Like I say, Palace are much better away from home. I'm buying Ulloa as it stands though.

      2. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        He's in great form

  9. Jay_
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Raheem Sterling is on big brothers big mouth on channel 5

      1. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Sounds about right.

    • The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Fiirst lady winner? Nice 🙂 Well done all who got this far

      Been awhile since I had a foreign holiday but when did it get so complicated? I used to just pick a destination and a flight, sorted. Now, just when I think I've found a good deal, they want to know it I wish to pay a load extra to take a suitcase and get a lift from the airport to the resort!

    • Davekitson
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      currently sat in 2nd in my ML so worth taking a risk this GW right? fabregas (c) diaby (vc) anyone joining me? obviously keep a few safe bets to supplement eg jay rodriguez and karl henry

      1. asquishypotato
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        You are funny.

    • Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Is Yaya playing the last game? Very tempting to get him instead of Silva...

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Would be very surprised if he didnt

    • Spectre_
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Any chance of both Kane and Toby falling tonight?

      Looks like Kane will, I can't afford both to ...

      1. Spectre_
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        thanks everyone, great points!

        1. whitters_2014

          You're welcome 🙂 check fpl statistics

    • CelticBhoy1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Keep haz or transfer? (I dont have Silva)

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Wait til pressers. I would do Haz to Silva though most likely

      2. CelticBhoy1

        • 12 Years

      10 years, 6 months ago

      I was all prepared to do Sterling and Giroud to Silva and Lukaku for a hit and now this Hazard injury. I really don't want to take another hit. I guess I could play Hutton. Villa must have a reasonable chance of a clean sheet v Burnley.

      What do you think?

      1. BeachBadger
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Are you thinking Sterling wont play the last game cos of all the talk of leaving?

        1. Cheeseoid
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          That and he has been pretty crap since the moment I got him

          1. BeachBadger
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 6 months ago

            Id get rid of Hazard first if he looks less likely to play

            1. Cheeseoid
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              10 years, 6 months ago

              Just so frustrating you come up with a plan and then he gets randomly injured

              1. BeachBadger
                • 12 Years
                10 years, 6 months ago

                Annoying alright. My chats acting up mate. Will have to chat the old fashioned way on this for a while

                1. Cheeseoid
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 13 Years
                  10 years, 6 months ago

                  No probs. I am just gonna play Hutton this week I think and do my intended transfers.

                  1. Cheeseoid
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 13 Years
                    10 years, 6 months ago

                    How bad can Burnley at home work out anyway?

                    1. BeachBadger
                      • 12 Years
                      10 years, 6 months ago

                      It would be fitting for Hutton to deliver GW38. Season keeper lol

                      1. Cheeseoid
                        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                        • 13 Years
                        10 years, 6 months ago

                        He may be the only player I have had all season

                        1. BeachBadger
                          • 12 Years
                          10 years, 6 months ago

                          Me too. Id say Hazard was prob the only big player people may have had all season and now hes fallen to the mighty Hutton 😀

                        2. Cheeseoid

                          Jabba the Hutton strikes back

        2. sonic72
          • 11 Years

          He's also had poor form lately, I also need to get shot.

    • Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Giroud to Lukaku, yay or nay?? Wait I forgot something everyone uses now and it works... "GO!!!"

      1. Cheeseoid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Yay

    • CelticBhoy1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Start Pant or Myhill?

      1. Flynny
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        That's my dilemma.....guess myhill?

      2. Cheeseoid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Pants

    • MrT
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Few questions from an infrequent poster trying to seal a top 5k finish.....

      1. Arsene hints at resting players. Who is most likely? Ramsey has been nursing a knock. Sanchez has played an awful lot of games. Koscielny has had the flu. Cazorla has been poor. Giroud has been toiling and not returning.

      2. Silva or Yaya for Sunday?

      3. If you could bring any forward in the game in for Kane who would it be? (Benteke and Aguero there already)

      1. fatherted
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        When the find the answers re Caz, Kos and Sanchez please let me know.

        Haha

        1. fatherted

          1. MrT
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 6 months ago

            Just looking for some educated guesses on Arsenal players. Have Sanchez, Ramsey and Kos myself.

            For a forward I have 4m odd in bank and 2 fts.

            Costa or Lukaku are in my thoughts.

    • Flynny
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Sorry....I seem to have missed this.....is hazard a real injury doubt for weekend.....Or just some rumour?

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Not an injury, dental surgery. No way he will play

    • The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I wish I wasn't maxed out on Arsenal, I would be all over Walcott this week. Looked more dangerous in his cameo last game than all his team mates in the whole dgw

    • fatherted
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Just noticed my overall rank has gone from 4019 to errrrrrmmmmmm 4019.

      Start Green or Davis?

      http://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/public-stats-tables/view/8989/

      Just a look at the players who could score a hatty if they take their chances, based on statistics from last two matches.

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Lol, the top five are not even nailed on. So anyway, you are saying that if a shite finisher comes good for one week he should get a hatty? Pass 🙂

        1. Vardy Gras PBFC
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          It isn't called One Last Punt for nothing, I agree that some players on that list shouldn't be on there but I can only filter by so much.

          And statistically yes, "on his day", one of these could be the golden ticket.

      2. Amateur Pundit Zan
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks for sharing. Bony would be a ballsy one.

        1. Vardy Gras PBFC
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          If he was guaranteed the start in the presser then I'd be very tempted.

    • Pinky and Brain
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Kevin Mirallas is the man, you hear it first.

      1. sinik
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        go on..

        has he taken all free kicks from Baines? is he on any corners? I'm looking at Lukaku based on hardiness (over Mirallas), form and pens

    • whitters_2014
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      That "news" about hazard is stupid at best hah! Also.... What do we think about Kane admitting he picks himself in fpl haha

    • FPLzebub
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Why is everyone so sure Hazard won't play on Sunday? Having your wisdom teeth removed is painful but medically no big deal. I was fine a few hours after mine were removed and i'm a slow healer.

      1. whitters_2014
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Agreed... He will play.

      2. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        There is a big difference between being able to function and perform. He won't play imo, maybe if they were desperate but it's over

          Classic example of fear fueling our thoughts... I don't have him, so him not playing would be awesome! And you do so you don't expect him to play haha

      Hazard out is a real pisser.. Any other move is now a hit and you would have to be really lucky to make it pay in one week 😡

        Yeah its a nuisance alright. Wanted to get rid of Giroud or Kane whove been stinking up my team fro a few weeks lol

          Yep, I was all set on Giroud to Lukaku but doubt it's worth a hit

            Nah doubt it too just annoying. Maybe I will take a punt as its last day but doubt it will be worth it 😀
