This evening we reveal who has made it through to the fourth round 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 highest scoring manager each round will win a £30 FanDuel credit, with the four next highest scores earning a £10 credit.

The third round saw all three of our remaining champions depart, which means there will be a new name on the trophy at the end of the competition.

Last year’s winner I Casillas Winning was beaten by Allezlechef 71 to 55, Gribude lost to Cok3y5murf and MCH failed to get the better of community regular Rhinos.

The highest scoring managers of the round and recipients of a £30 FanDuel credit are Bacuna Matata and Pinky Unites, who both brought in a haul of 104 points.

Those who win a £10 FanDuel credit for stellar Gameweek scores are: NUFC Fifer and Raul Seleccion, who accrued 102 points; Δημητρης Καραμπουρνιωτης, who earned 98 points; and TeaM McNaCe and BC1, who both notched 97 in Gameweek 14.

Of these Gameweek 14 titans, Bacuna Matata is the highest ranked manager left in the competition. His impressive tally takes him up to 111 in the rankings and a round four clash with fplbet.

Raul Selecion is just behind, in 112th place, and takes on Fat B*d in the next stage of the tournament.

The community regular who has drawn the short straw to face another form manager, Pinky Unites, in round four is Tommy J.

The Scoutcast’s last representative, Andy85wsm, bows out with his score of 73 proving no match for Anuliz’s 94 points.

Two other members of the Fantasy Football Scout moderator and contributor team, GreenWindmill and Stilicho, also leave, after being beaten by Archie and lowlifegimpe respectively.

That leaves TorresMagic to fly the FFScout flag alone. He beat Isaaclun in round three and next takes on Zambhino10, who is ranked more than 100,000 places behind him, in this weekend’s tie.

Another encounter to keep an eye on is a dangerous looking Chelsea themed derby between Hazardous Blue and Hazardous to repeat.

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

    • 13 Years
    9 years, 25 days ago

    Everybody is aware that Walcott will score a hatty vs Stoke at the weekend and Sanchez will be subbed at 69mins and we'll be inundated by 'Is Sanchez sufficient cover for Wally?' posts 😮

    1. RustyBz
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      Let's hope so. I didn't just take a -8 to get Sanchez for Theo 😀

    3. Arteta
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

    Pickford (Jaku)
    Stones Wiliams VVD (Amat Friend)
    Sanchez Gundo Firmino Siggy (Barry)
    Austin Kane Costa

  6. ViperStripes
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 25 days ago

    Any hits needed this week in defence (or Allen)

    Foster/Pickford
    Evans, Holebas, Britos, Pieters, Love Allen

    Plan had been to do a defensive tweak this week, but Aguero ban put paid to that.Britos needs to go, but take a hit or just wait another week?

    1. Guru Mediation
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      Is Allen fifth mid? How much itb? No hits for defenders

    2. ViperStripes
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      Allen 5th Mid yes. Rotating with Anichebe.

    I need a better grav. Who can add a christmas hat to a picture for me?

    1. GreenWindmill
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      Depends - if you want it to look a complete state then I can do it. If you want it to look cool then you need someone with some skills. I used to know which posters were awesome at it but a lot of those chaps aren't around at the moment.

      Can't you get someone in your office to do it? 😉

      1. GreenWindmill
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 25 days ago

        And I guess I'll Christmas mine up a bit...

  8. Roy Hudd
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 25 days ago

    Hi all,

    Anyone suggest any hits to this line up? Already did Arnautovic > Siggy.

    Heaton

    Smith Rose Clyne

    Sanchez (c) Zaha Mane Siggy

    Kane Costa Austin

    Bench: Pickford, McAuley, fodder, fodder...

    First time doing fantasy this year. Loving this site, so much insight and great discussion. Thanks in advance for any advice. Cheers.

    1. theboijones
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      Don't think its worth taking a hit as your team looks good to me.
      Only thing I would change would be Smith or Heaton.. But other than that your team looks good to go!
      Austin could maybe be subbed out for Defoe if you have enough in the bank (vs Swansea)?

    2. Depleda
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      Hey, any money in the bank?

      1. Roy Hudd
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 25 days ago

        Thanks for the replies guys. Have 0.7 in the bank. Not enough to get Defoe.

        1. Depleda
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 25 days ago

          I agree save the TF as team is good. A lot better than my for next week! I've got to decide whether to get in Hazard or costa when you just know whichever you choose the other will do better!

  9. George James
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 25 days ago

    GTG?

    Cech
    Lovren Williams Francis Vertonghen
    Hazard Firminio(c) Sanchez
    Kane Austin Costa

    Pickford Amat Capoue Allen

    0.3 ITB 0FT

    1. KISSES
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      Firm captain over Costa?

    2. HNI
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      Sanchez captain

      1. Depleda
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 25 days ago

        Hazard captain

    3. George James
      • 11 Years

      1. Depleda

        🙂

  10. Jafooli
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 25 days ago

    Anyone else going without a Chelsea defender for next couple weeks?

    I feel naked.

    1. HNI
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      Same here..No money after kane costa sanchez haz..only way is to take hit for Firmino or Siggy OUT!

    2. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      What's there to worry about? Alonso is only averaging 6.6ppg

      1. HNI
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 25 days ago

        Hey Andy can give input below mate? Really bad frrling of no chel defence

    3. GreenWindmill
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      I have two. I feel positively overdressed.

      1. andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 25 days ago

        Jealous of Alonso and Luiz!

        Wish I could afford that.

        1. GreenWindmill
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 25 days ago

          It comes at a price though - no Costa is a big problem. Would be rather pleased if he could fall off that suspension tightrope!

          1. andy85wsm
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 25 days ago

            Think you have to stop worrying about the yellow at this point.

            I'm going to stick to Ibra though

            1. GreenWindmill
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 25 days ago

              Oh sure, but I've made my decision so it's no longer a factor, I just really hope it happens!

              My initial thoughts when Aguero got sent off were that I would buy Ibra but then Sanchez went mental and I decided to chase those points. Probably a silly idea!

    4. matiakez
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      If only I could get round to sorting out the defense...

      1. Jafooli
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 25 days ago

        Same here, week after week it's neglected 😛

    5. Chris_White
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      Yep. Danny Rose to the rescue!

      1. Jafooli
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 25 days ago

        *Vertonghan

        *vomits in mouth*

        1. Chris_White
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 25 days ago

          Vert is so 2013

    6. theboijones
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      I don't have one either!
      Currently playing this team for the weekend- what do you think?
      -------------------Karius-------------------
      ------Mustafi Koscielny Holebas------
      --Lallana Can Sigurdsson Hazard--
      -----------Costa Austin Kane-----------
      SUBS:
      -Pickford Barragan Capoue Francis-

  11. HNI
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 25 days ago

    Would you rather have 1)Siggy +4.5 defender or
    2)Snody + Alonso (-4)?

    1. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      Depends on the rest of your defence, who that 4.5m defender is 🙂

      Not a fan of Snodgrass and Hull are dire. Swansea aren't much better but fixtures turning and Sigurdsson has been doing quite well against harder opposition.

    2. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      1

    3. theboijones
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      I currently have Barragan (Middlesbrough) and Siggy.. has worked well for me!

  12. matiakez
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 25 days ago

    How viable is having a dirt cheap fourth mid to accommodate alexis?

    Say someone around 5 million...

    1. HNI
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      Yes..he is not only explosive but nailed as hell..phillips,fer etc options are galore

    2. KISSES
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      Can, viable.

    3. theboijones
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      Definitely Can, good form and good fixtures up until Jan

      1. matiakez
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 25 days ago

        Thanks for the help think I'll be looking at can or fer..

    4. Carlton P
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      Dropping wally or Firmino next week to fer/can/Phillips to accommodate Alonso + Valencia/monreal

      1. theboijones
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 25 days ago

        Good choice!
        Wanna join my league, LEAGUE STARTING THIS WEEKEND!

  13. King H
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 25 days ago

    Anyone tempted with Iheanacho ?
    Done think he will start the games kun is banned. Or will.we see a false number 9. Nolito or Sterling.

    1. KISSES
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      Very tempting, his record is insane

    2. GreenWindmill
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      Already done it. Probably a mistake but it could be a fun one!

    3. Chris_White
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      Yes, had him last time Agüero was out and he did brilliant. Might get him in next week.

    4. matiakez
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      I'd rather have him over Austin for sure if I didn't have so many other issues..

    5. daviyb
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      Already have him. Knew he would get his chance with Ageuro's injury record and volatile temper. He has double the points per minute as Aguero, and is half the price; so is essentially quadruple the value 🙂

      1. theboijones
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 25 days ago

        Iheanacho is a risk of starting as Pep is the new Tinkerman..!
        Anyone wanna join my league!?--

  14. KISSES

    Zlatan likely to play every game over festive period you reckon?

    1. HNI
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      Will miss 1 of 6 till Jan..Rashford could play in that..He is a beast but still 35+

    2. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      Playing on the 31st Dec and then 2nd Jan is the only concern but then there's an FA Cup break so he may well play all of them.

      We do also play on 11th, 14th and 17th....

      Not missed a single minute in the Premier League yet though.

    3. Chris_White
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      Yes.

  15. Nicoson
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 25 days ago

    What's better:
    A) Zaha to Sanchez
    B) De Roon to KDB

    1. The Man Pastore
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      Zaha > De Roon
      Sanchez > KDB

      Easy

    Holebas to Boro def for roatation with McAuley GW17 onwards ?

    1. Chris_White
      • 14 Years

      Barragán.

      1. Atimis

      If I was looking for a cheap defence to rotate with WBA from GW17 I'd be considering Burnley I think...

      It's a shame the one with the beard didn't come out better, I was chuckling to myself putting it on him!
      Glad to be of service!

    Eyeing up Walcott replacements for when he inevitably gets benched and came across a name I never see mentioned. Quick comparison of his stats this year and last and they are virtually the same.

    Dele Alli, thoughts?

        Something I am considering next GW for sure. Are you like me and without Kane?

  23. ROOTY7
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 25 days ago

    on a -4 already. Anything worth another hit or leave it? 0.9itb

    Karius
    Walker Alonso Francis
    Hazard Firmino Sigurdsson Arnautovic
    Kane Costa Austin

    Jaku Brunt Amat Capoue

      Jealous of your defence! GTG this week. Arnie to Spurs mid next week

      1. ROOTY7
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 25 days ago

        Cheers. Did Aguero--> Costa and Holebas--> Alonso. Right transfers?

        1. Hurricane Gilbert
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 25 days ago

          Yeah I think so! A strong defence will be key during Xmas!

        2. theboijones
          • 10 Years

          yes, good transfer choice- though I would have left Holebas for this GW vs Everton as -4 on a defender is risky

    Please help

    Pickford, Boruc
    Friend, Amat, Smith, Clyne, Holebas
    Hazard, Firmino, Sánchez, Fletcher, Allen
    Costa, Kane, Austin

    Already used free transfer to get Kane in for Aguero

    Should i take a -4 point hit for ( 2.1mil in the bank)

    a) Austin to Origi
    b) Allen to Can
    c) Firmino to Mane
    d) Friend/Amat/Holebas to a stronger defender (who???)
    e) Leave as is

    Please help and thanks

      I would maybe take out Austin > Defo (vs Swansea)

    Looking towards next week. Who should I trade Snodgrass to if there are no forced trades.

    £9.2 to spend to go with this front 7.

    Hazard / Firmino / Siggy / £9.2
    Kane / Austin / Costa

    Good morning DZ, is this too heavy in defence ? (Toby comes in next week, the rest I have already)

    Heaton - Pickford
    Alderweireld - Alonso - Brunt - Cedric - Friend
    Sanchez - Hazard - Firmino - Siggy - Phillips
    Kane - Austin - Iheanacho

    My defence is Stones, Macauley, Pieters, M Wilson and Kone. Does it get much worse? 🙂 I also still have Antonio and Capoue. I can't believe I'm still 1st or 2nd in all 8 of my mini leagues!
