We can now reveal who has made it through to the fourth round of our Fantasy Football Scout Cup and the third round of the Members tournament.

Fantasy Football Scout Cup, Round 4

All four of round three’s remaining former champions live to fight another day. 

Of this quartet Gribude has the toughest test, as he takes his 60,500 ranked team into battle with 29,687 placed chrisdharris, while Mark sets himself up with a tie against Wolfsburgers, who, with a ranking of 22,408, is 11,726 places higher.

Sleepysi (ranked 30,965) appears to have a smoother passage to the next round as he squares up to 169,564 placed melvinmbabazi. Similarly Ninja_Fit_Saints (ranked 400,062) looks to be the favourite in his encounter with community veteran Rasping Drive, who is just inside the top one million in the rankings.

The competition’s highest placed competitor Elvarus emerged victorious from his round three clash with Warsworn. Next up for this 167th placed manager is a fourth round tussle with 137,849 ranked Joey Barton and friends.

Other notable ties include former FPL champion Tom Fenley’s match-up with Flying Nugget.

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

Members Cup, Round 3

As mentioned, there will definitely be a new name on the trophy this time around with our former winner suffering an exit in the first round.

Despite being ranked only 495,513, Big Mac 24 may fancy his chances after dispatching round two’s highest ranked manager tisza (placed 223). Next up for this giant killer is another tough tie, against 81,560 placed Jeremylinter.

Mark survives his second round encounter with Deanamo Jammy to set up a sweet match up against 298,629 ranked Toffee777.

I also progress and take my 14,795 placed troops with me into a third round tie with rrcmc (ranked 302,688). Paul, who is placed at 223,287 in the rankings, is another survivor and has a tricky contest against No pressure jose (ranked 56,428).

The third round also features matches between Bend It Like Bennett and Gnu, while Cheeseoid takes on Gotham.

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

      A

  3. agueroooooney
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 4 hours ago

    Sané captain the best option?

    1. le flem
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 4 hours ago

      Sterling for MC, I think ,though I think Sane will play and can score big.

    2. Dannyb
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 hours ago

      I'm going with Aguero, it was between him and KDB.

  4. AdamJ91
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 hours ago

    Silva & Richalison > Pogba & Coutinho? (-8)

    Not keen on taking hits but think it could pay off long term. Have Sterling already to cover Silva.

    Midfield 5 would be; Salah, Sterling, Hazard, Coutinho, Pogba

    1. le flem
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 4 hours ago

      I wouldn't, personally

    2. Dannyb
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 hours ago

      I took a -8 this week and I have a front 7 of
      Couts Haz KDB Salah Pogba
      Aguero Depoitre

      1. AdamJ91
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 4 hours ago

        Looks good. My attack would be Lukaku, Depoitre & DCL.

    3. fr3d
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 hours ago

      Just silva to coutinho

    4. FootballFanatic365

    1. le flem
      • 12 Years

    2. Colonel Shoe 肝池

      pick well and pick often

      1. Sims
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 4 hours ago

        what does that even mean?

        1. THFC4LIFE
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 4 hours ago

          Pick a 11 for 84m to go against the scout picks this week

    3. 1Banksy
      • 10 Years

      Good luck and remember if you don't triple up on Man City we will all judge you.

      1. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 hours ago

        Lol. Waiting for that scout squad post

  6. lsaints99
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 4 hours ago

    Will Morata outscore Kane by 4 over these next 3 GW's? What do we reckon? Binning one of them but not sure if it's worth the hassle of an extra FT since i want Kane back for 22

    1. George James
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 hours ago

      keep kane if you have haz

      1. lsaints99
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 hour ago

        will do

    2. I Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 hours ago

      I'd back Morata (eve, BRI, STK) to outscore Kane (bur, SOU, blank) by 4 if he starts all 3 games but he might not.

  7. Spike ⚽️
    • 14 Years

    No mention about the guy who knocked out former 1 in the world Tom Fenley - Typical

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 4 hours ago

      He's in the 4th round. 😉

      1. Spike ⚽️
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 4 hours ago

        Not in the Members Cup he aint

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years

          It's only the 3rd round so obviously. 😉

          1. Spike ⚽️
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 3 hours ago

            Correct and he's not in it because I beat him

            1. TorresMagic™
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 16 Years

              Well done.

  8. Sims
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 hours ago

    A) Tarkowski > Christensen/Smalling

    B) Coutinho > Sane

    C) Both for -4

    Already have firmino and salah so tripling up very risky

    1. XabiAlonso
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 hours ago

      Would rather have couthino than firmino personally

      1. Sims
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 hours ago

        yeah same but coutinho has excellent alternatives. the less said about firmino replacements the better

  9. XabiAlonso
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 4 hours ago

    Any reason why cresswell and zabaleta aren't being talked about as westham options

  10. THFC4LIFE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 hours ago

    Best move for this week?

    Foster Elliot
    Azpi Mee Naughton Kabasele Mbemba

    Kane Morata DCL

    1ft 0.8itb

    A. Kane > Kaku

    D. Something else

    1. Ginola14
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 3 hours ago

      naughton to ogbonna

  11. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 4 hours ago

    Elliot
    Alonso Smalling Masuaku
    Hazard (V) Salah Richarlison RLC
    Kane (C) Morata Abraham
    Pope Choupo Kenny Hunemeier
    No ft.1.4 itb. GTG?

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 hours ago

      No city could be risky but looks good apart from that

  12. Venom Snake
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 4 hours ago

    Morata > Aguero for free?

    1. lugs
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 hours ago

      nah keep Morata , i think he will do well in his next 3 fixtures at least 🙂

    2. william prunier
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 hours ago

      Bear in mind that chelsea have extra days rest over Xmas and have 2 tasty home games BRI STK

  13. HNI
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 4 hours ago

    What are Silva chances for BOu?
    Sacrificed Kane for him. Was it know he would miss last weekend due to family reasons?

    1. HNI
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 4 hours ago

      Known*

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 4 hours ago

      Guessing low. Unknown on here.

  14. FirminoIsBetterThanYou
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 hours ago

    Long shot any Huddersfield fans or just anyone who has a clue can tell me whether Deportee will start for them?

    1. AYEW KI-EDEN MEE
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 hours ago

      Don't need to be a Huddersfield fan to realise he's scored 2 and 2. So for time being he will start but expect rotation with Mounie.

    2. FlockofSeagulls
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 hours ago

      Probably 79% chance this gw but has competition from an almost identical player.

  15. Ginola14
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 4 hours ago

    play two out of
    a mahrez
    b rich
    c RLC

        1. Boxwoods
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 3 hours ago

          Have selected RLC over Mahrez this week.

  16. vinniebolton
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 3 hours ago

    Made 2 bold transfers this week

    Kane/Silva to Kun/Pogba (Kun cap)

    Good move?

    1. Red Dagger ✪
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 hours ago

      I like it. I'm going to dump kane or morata this week. I can't decide which one tho..?

      1. vinniebolton
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 3 hours ago

        Thanks, will probs go terribly wrong, having an awful month gone from 17k to 170k

  17. AYEW KI-EDEN MEE
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 hours ago

    For those considering Chris Smalling, have they not taken into account he's not very good at football?

    1. william prunier
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 hours ago

      He ain't done too bad for himself

    2. Sims
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 hours ago

      thats irrelevant. richarlison is shite at football but gets points

      1. AYEW KI-EDEN MEE
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 hours ago

        Ah yes the same Richarlison who's being scouted by Tottenham. Bad player him..

        1. william prunier
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 3 hours ago

          Who would you consider instead of smalling from the utd backline?

          1. AYEW KI-EDEN MEE
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 3 hours ago

            Jones once the fixtures are back to weekly.

            1. william prunier
              • 10 Years
              8 years, 3 hours ago

              Correct, although people are going smalling as he's likely to play 3/4 rather than 2/4

        2. Sims
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 3 hours ago

          apologies...forgot tottenham only scout quality players

          like janssen

          1. william prunier
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 3 hours ago

            Lol

          2. Sims
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 3 hours ago

            not to mention smalling actually plays for man united making your comment utterly pointless

    3. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 hours ago

      So are Rojo and Lindelof.

    4. FlockofSeagulls
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 hours ago

      Smalling always works on a one off/one on season basis.

      This season he's been switched on so it's ok to get him.

      Stay away from him next season as that will be his off season. 🙂

    5. melvinmbabazi

  18. HD7
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 3 hours ago

    Thoughts on this plan ?

    GW 20 Transfers are:
    Morata Richarlison RLC to Crouch Coutinho Pogba and play the gettin popular 5 premium midfielders in a 3-5-2 or 4-5-1

    GW21: Kane to Morata or Kaku only for this week and in GW 22 he returns

    Will give me:

    De Gea
    Ota Kabasele Daniels
    Sterling Pogba Coutinho Salah Hazard
    Kane DCL

    Subs: Elliot, Ogbona, Crouch, Mbemba

    1. FootballFanatic365
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 hours ago

      no

      1. HD7
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 3 hours ago

        Just no... strong thesis

  19. FootballFanatic365
    • 11 Years

    salah richa sterling hazard (carroll)

    b. hazard < de bruyne
    c. kane + carroll < de bruyne + austin

    cheers!

    1. FootballFanatic365
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 hours ago

      kola is not starting mate

  21. The Overthinker
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 hours ago

    Want to know thoughts about this from new crowd

    Captain choice this week are so slim

    It's either Salah or sterling for me . Or maybe otamendi as punt

    Who are you going with?

    1. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 hours ago

      Sterling

    2. ljuta zena
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 hours ago

      Salah, derby

      1. vinniebolton
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 3 hours ago

        Derby?

        1. ljuta zena
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 3 hours ago

          Arsenal. He ``ll be on fire

          1. vinniebolton
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 3 hours ago

            Hummmmm! Not sure you quite understand the concept of a derby

            1. ljuta zena
              • 9 Years
              8 years, 3 hours ago

              make my day

              1. Rostah
                • 10 Years
                8 years, 3 hours ago

                A derby is when 2 rivals teams, that are close geographically, play. So Liverpool vs Everton, Man U vs Man C, Arsenal vs Spurs, etc

          2. Krionos
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 3 hours ago

            That's not a derby... But yeah, expecting points

    3. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 3 hours ago

      Sterling, but really you should captain whoever my VC is. I swear they get a brace everyweek.

  22. PocketZola
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 3 hours ago

    What to do?

    Captain or sell kane?

    I have pope and mee in the first team. Hence me thinking of selling him for Austin/quaner/firmino

    1. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 3 hours ago

      Selling him won't stop him scoring against them.

  23. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 3 hours ago

    If Rooney had been classified in his correct position in midfield he'd be the second highest scoring player in the game....that's mad...

    1. Ginola14
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 3 hours ago

      @7.5 as well......

      1. Sims
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 hours ago

        he wouldnt be 7.5 if he was a mid

        1. Ginola14
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 3 hours ago

          pretty sure he would if pog, silva et al started at 8

          1. Sims
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 3 hours ago

            silva is 8 becuase he hasnt scored over 130 points last 2 seasons. pogba has no history of scoring lots of gosls

  24. FC Lackless [BALEGIUM]
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 hours ago

    yawn

  25. ljuta zena
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 hours ago

    Thoughts?

    Mignole
    Azpi, Ota, Naughton
    Rich, Salah, Gross, Lingard, KdB (C)
    Kane, Vardy

    Bench>Eliot, Simpson, DCL, Ward
    For next two Ward and Simpson out, maybe Gross

    What if Kane doesn't do anything in the double game week and trolls us all. The games are very close together and west Ham are always up for it against them....

    Unsure whether to bring in Jones or Smalling. Jones probably an injury waiting to happen, but if fit the more nailed of the two. Smalling more of an attacking threat though.

    Any opinions on who to pick?

      I picked Smalling, more threat and differential, could always jump on Spurs defender if flop
