This evening we roll out the second round draw of the 13th instalment of our open to all Fantasy Premier League cup competition.

For this latest contest, there are more than £1,000 worth of prizes for UK based entrants courtesy of our partner FanDuel, as well as £350 in Amazon vouchers to the top three managers at the end of the competition.

In addition, the top scoring manager for each round will receive £30 FanDuel credit, with £10 FanDuel credit for the next four best scores.

Among our former winners, last year’s victor I Casillas Winning overcame Sticky Toffee Pudding, 66 to 49. He takes on Tufs, who is ranked more than 600,000 places below him.

Meanwhile, moderator and contributor Stilicho knocked out another former champ Wild Rover and goes on to face Tinyswede in the next round.

Mark and I, also crashed out to end our dreams of a second title, to Buzzedagain and Bash Villa respectively.

Former champ Gribude faired better, overcoming Optimus Clyne, as did Ninja Fit Saints, who stays in the race to become the first to win twice by beating R32omon.

While Gribude’s next opponent Allgonepozzo is ranked just 8,721 places behind him, Ninja Fit Saints has a far tougher test, taking on Jurgen, who is ranked 486,634 places higher.

MCH is another winner to progress, after seeing off Sporting to set up a second round clash with Shem Bayley.

JazzyJ87’s score of 79 sees him win the £30 FanDuel voucher for the highest score of the round.

The four managers to win a £10 FanDuel voucher for having the next highest scores were Pipermaru, galactijoe, Schmeichel Sea and Jinkys Oars.

Another manager to look out for is Pink Unites, who beat 2012/13 FPL champion Tom Fenley 49 to 27. He faces Shanev13 in round two.

Elsewhere, the only Scoutcast regular to go through to round two, Andy85wsm, will be squaring up to Lardy, who is 600,000 places above him in the overall rankings.

Other notable second round match ups include applebonkers’ clash with Back to Back Ballacks and mikeharbrw’s encounter with The Normal One.

The highest ranked manager left in the competition is Simonsimondock, who is currently 211th in the world. Sigfried Sassoon, who is ranked just inside the top 500,000, has the dubious honour of facing him in round two.

The first round results can be found via this link, while the full second round draw can be found here.

    Commentator said "Ibrahimovic missed a lot of chances when he played for PSG, he got a lot of chances like Cavani."

      Fair enough. He can say that. It's not true, but he can say that.

      I love Cavani, but he loves to miss clear cut chances.

    Did everyone enjoy the scoutcast last night?

    1. KingNidge
      • 10 Years

      Was very good 🙂

  7. La Roja
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Lucas Moura is fantastic player

  8. CelticBhoy1

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)

      B and C

  9. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Giroud isn't called the Donkey for nothing, people have short memories. He's not nailed on and isn't even as good looking as people say, crater face with a beak like a bird

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

      He has a nice beard though.

    2. KingNidge
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      You still would though 🙂

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        I really wouldn't 😀

    3. Parm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      ^ ban imo

    4. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years

      An in form donkey

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        He scored a penalty, hardly enough to be called in form, he's been pretty bad generally

        1. La Roja
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Why are you judging him based on one game?

          1. The Bandit
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            He has a big nose in every game

        2. Worzel Gummidge
            9 years, 2 months ago

            Sanchez, Ozil, Ramsey have been far worse and Walcott isn't nailed.

      2. bojack
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Harsh on the looks count, accurate on the skill.

      3. JIM BOB
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Well said

      4. Bubz
        • 12 Years

        You have terrible taste in men

    5. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Does Fernandino miss PL match or just CL

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

      2. red devil 7
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        lol

      3. how now brown cow
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Just CL

      4. La Roja
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        He misses 3 games, 2 for PRemierleague

      5. dhamphiir
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Premier league is only linked with dosmetic cup (EFL and FA)

    6. Scotty B
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Lukaku > Giroud yay or nay?

      1. OptimusBlack
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Yaaay I think

      2. Lone Wolf FPL
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        you're 100% sure that he'll start?

        1. Scotty B
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          No that's why I'm asking

          1. Lone Wolf FPL
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            dont want a 9mil player on the bench so the risk is too big imo

    7. OptimusBlack
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Aguero another 2 PTS next GW ?

      1. how now brown cow
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        assuming no booking

      2. Lone Wolf FPL
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        naaah, brace

      3. super zlatan
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        I goal and 1 bonus point

    8. matiakez
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Remove Allen or gundogen for a hit?

      Or play amat in a 4 at the back...

      Not money in the bank.

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Same dilemma. Getting Coutinho. Was going to keep Allen for Burnley as not sure Gun will play with YYT back

        1. matiakez
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Think if either goes it has to be gundogen but the alternatives aren't appealing really?

          Phillips just feels like I'm going down the sane after the horse has bolted route.

      2. dhamphiir
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Allen is playing holding midfield and Gundogan started today, he might be rested

    9. Karan_G14
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Chances of Sanchez & Aguero both blanking this weekend?

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

        99%

        1. Karan_G14
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          I'm seriously considering selling them now.

      2. KingNidge
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Aguero likely
        Sanchez slim

      3. MikeDuff
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Fair

      4. Kalou
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        There's a chance....no chance:)

      5. OptimusBlack
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Aguero >IBRA
        The Best Move This GW

        1. Karan_G14
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Kane looks a way better pick after this week.
          It'll be tough to see Kun blanking again.

        2. matiakez
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Certainly frees a few quid to..

      6. Pasqualinho
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Odds on both not scoring is about 8/1. Add both not assisting in to the equation and you'll get upwards of 50/1 I reckon.

    10. Kalou
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Sanchez looked good anyone?

      1. La Roja
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Ok'ish

      1. Bolivian Seaman
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        🙂

      2. Camp No No
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Pathetic.

    11. Crystal
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Aguero looked like he had a knock at the end

    12. La Roja
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      PSG fans celebrating draw

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

        Top of group

        1. La Roja
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          True for for that lol

          1. La Roja
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            Forgot*

          2. Camp No No
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            Tbf, Arsenal _players_ should be celebrating the draw, just because they were really lucky to get it.

      2. Bleach †
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Top of the table?

        1. The Fantastic Mr Fox
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Arsenal stay on top

          1. Bleach †
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            Nope

        2. Camp No No
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Yeah. Top of the group with away goals.

    13. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Aguero limping around at the end. Great.

      1. KingNidge
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        lol

        1. how now brown cow
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          I know he always limps, but I think that was quite high on the limp-o-meter.

          1. KingNidge
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            Flag and chaos imminent

            1. how now brown cow
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 2 months ago

              Going to log off till the weekend I think. Got all the hallmarks of a panicky series of hits over the next 2 days...

              1. KingNidge
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 2 months ago

                Yes mate take cover

      2. Karan_G14
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Might just be the easiest way out.

    14. Sotamendi84
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Aguero limping

      1. bojack
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        It's OK. Glenn Whelan is my first sub.

    15. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      boo! second again..

    16. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Is Aguero flagged yet?

    17. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Possible Aguero injury? Commentator said he looked in discomfort.

      1. Pasqualinho
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Everyone who watched that match will be in some degree of discomfort, I'd have thought.

        1. Sess!
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Yeah pure dross. Hate games where teams accept a draw towards end.

      2. Karan_G14
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Blessing in disguise.

    18. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      How much is Iheanacho ?

      1. KingNidge
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        6.8

      2. Karan_G14
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Very cheap.

    19. Pariße
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Is away goal rule or goal difference superiour in the group stage?

      1. Sess!
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Heads up I think

      2. dhamphiir
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Head to Head
        Remember Chelsea had more goal difference than Shakhtar in group stage but was knocked out from UCL

    20. Jazz!
      • 11 Years

      #flaggate

    21. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Not really sure why Aguero hasn't been flagged yet.

      1. KingNidge
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Mark fell asleep

    22. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Owen Hargreaves confirms Aguero is out for the season

      Michael Owen seconded it

    23. Parm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Anyone else see Aguero waving the white handkerchief there?

    24. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I think I just saw Aguero in my local hospital having a scan.
