FFS Cup

Fantasy Football Scout Fifth Round Draw

We’re down to the last 32 in our Fantasy Football Scout Cup tournament and can now reveal not only the victors from round four but also the fifth round draw.

As we know, Gameweek 33 was a torrid affair which produced the lowest average score (32 points) of the season so far. It also put paid to one of the two top-ranked managers remaining in the cup.

Leaf – who ranked 55 in the world prior to last weekend – took a four-point hit to record a modest 34 score. He was somewhat unfortunate to come up against ChrisVD who recorded the highest score (57) in the entire fourth round. The latter also spent points on an extra transfer but mustered a hugely impressive tally thanks to a Spurs midfield partnership of Dele Alli – as captain – and Christian Eriksen.

While Leaf toppled out, the other high-flying manager – Always Captain Kun – earned his passage to the fifth round with a 34-30 victory over Le Tigre and maintained a rank of 65th in the world. They must now be considered the early favourite to lift the trophy but must be wary of their next opponent. Norman conquest lies in wait in the last 32 and, while they are placed 46,709 in the world, they are renowned giant killers in this cup having previoulsy eliminated the 48th ranked thisisdiz in round three.

Round four’s lowest ranked manager – TD7242 (699,646) – was unable to maintain their cup run after recording a calamatous 20 points from Gameweek 33. It was a familiar tale of taking a points hit to capture and captain Harry Kane, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang their only player to score more than two points. TD7242 tumbled out to Batmaniac, who scored 33 to claim passage.

That means that jaycar25 is now the big underdog heading into the next round. They are placed 339,188 in the world and will face 2eyedTurk next; they currently place 34,464 in the overall rankings.

The fifth round will be played out over Gameweek 34, which as we know, is a Double Gameweek with many chips in play.

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

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      Can you afford Mariappa to a Leic or Bur def?

        0 ITB so selling mariappa will give me 4.2

      Kennedy to Young

      The other consideration here is if you have sgwers as bb, do you have to play it this week. Can you get better fixtures in gw36 or gw38 for sgwers if you are playing tc in gw37. I have Salah so will only bb if he is likely to start against Liverpool.

      1. DJ1000
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 18 days ago

        Bournemouth even

      2. Champions united
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 18 days ago

        Ur point is forcing me to think

      3. Champions united
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 18 days ago

        Yes but again in 36 i will be in same dilemma as i will can make only 1chnge without hit FH IN 35

        if I BB IN 37 then max 2FT even if I take 2hits will that be worth or not, i have no idea

        and then i have forcefully play BB IN38

  2. FplBerg

    I think my FH team comes down to this final desision:
    Salah and De Gea, or
    Sanchez and McCarthy

    Will decide once the Salah situation is clearer, but edging towards the switch to Sanchez.

      FH for this week? If so, it's got to be Sanchez this week. Two great fixtures, nailed to play and in form. We know he's explosive and this week looks delicious. He's the player I fear most this week (I'm a Salah owner, and currently not selling him).

      1. FplBerg
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 18 days ago

        Yeah. Also have Salah fear tho, even if it is only for 1 week.

        I'm in a luxury position to use Salah's value without selling him, so I feel I should take it.

        1. Simon Says...
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 18 days ago

          In my opinion you 100 percent should. Free hit means only 11 needed, so no chance of having both?

          1. FplBerg
            • 14 Years
            6 years, 18 days ago

            I also have Eriksen, Mahrez, Kane, Vardy and Lukaku (made possible because I have very cheap GK and Def), so I'd need to sacrifice one of those to place both Salah and Sanchez this week.

            Of those, maybe I'd drop Mahrez, but I really like the idea of packing my team with DGW attacking heavyweights.

            1. Simon Says...
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              6 years, 18 days ago

              Your final sentence says it all, imo that's Sanchez.

              Obviously both good options, but Sanchez with double looks too tasty. Fortune favours the brave etc...

    2. Reuser
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      In a similar situation (FH34) and sold Salah last night.

      May backfire, but one of the advantages of FH is being able to take risks without longer term problems.

      Not sure we'll know whether Salah plays on the weekend or not - or how long he plays. With so much money wrapped up in him, makes sense to aim high with Sanchez. If nothing else, the dgw should hopefully mitigate the risk of a Salah haul.

  3. Miguel Sanchez
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 18 days ago

    Need 1.2m

    A) Alonso to Vert
    B) Mustafi to Masuaku

    1. Snikii
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      B

    2. BIGREDDOG
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      A

  4. Cheeky Onion
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 18 days ago

    Best way to get Kane in:

    A) Auba + Son > Kane + Lingard

    B) Auba + Salah > Kane + Pogba

    1. Salah'd n Sauce
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      I'm not sold on either Utd option tbh. You've no idea of the minutes of Lingard or the effectiveness of Pogba.
      Will he return to what he has been like prior to the city game. Who knows. Very Punty.

      B at a push.

    2. The Trout of No Craic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      A of those, I'll probably sacrifice Alonso.

    3. Snikii
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      A , B is mental imo

  5. Taribo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 18 days ago

    Pretty set. Just tweaking the edges of my FH34 team. Concerned about Christensen's playing time but think I'm prepared to risk it. Who scores more this week:

    a) Mahrez & Barnes
    b) Gudmundsson (or cheaper) & Vardy

    DDG
    Christensen Morgon Lowton
    Alli San(c)hez Willian Mahrez
    Kane Lukaku Barnes

    1. Snikii
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      pretty even, i would think

    2. Eoin Jess
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      Not a lot in it. I'd say B is safer but A has more potential of higher returns

    3. WE GO FOR IT
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      A

  6. Karan14
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 18 days ago

    Milivojevic the best 5.1m mid till end of the season?

    1. Flynny
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      Or Kennedy

      1. Karan14
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 18 days ago

        Doesn’t have pens and Newcastle are much closer to safety.

    2. 007 [RoboKlopp]
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      Yes imo.

    3. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      Easily.

    4. Eoin Jess
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      Yes. Good fixtures and something to play for

    5. Over Midwicket
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      He's the best mid full stop. Very explosive, nailed, 3 baps every game and will get 4 or 5 more pens before the end of the season.

      Sincerely, a bitter non-owner.

      1. Karan14
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 18 days ago

        Haha cheers!

    6. Simon Says...
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      Wish I hadn't sold him on wildcard.

  7. Dogdoosh
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 18 days ago

    FH team what are the thoughts
    Degea Cahill Valencia chilwell
    Pogba eriksen Willian hazard
    Wood vardy Kane

    1. Taribo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      Good team but Cahill is a risk. And I say that as someone opting for Christensen instead.

    2. Dogdoosh
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      Thanks , why is Cahill a doubt ?

  8. OptimusBlack
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 18 days ago

    Who better to get ?

    A- Samlling
    B- Alonso

    1. Eoin Jess
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      A is safer. B has a higher ceiling.

      Are you a gambler or not?

    2. joeydelucchi
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      you think smalling will play both games tho? WB and Bou?

  9. Eoin Jess
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 18 days ago

    GW 34 Bench Boost Team:

    DDG Ryan
    Alonso Mustafi Robertson Chilwell Lowton
    Salah* Mahrez Son Mkhi* Willian
    Auba* Vardy Barnes

    0 ITB. Plan to FH in 35 and TC in 37.

    Which -4 transfers would you rather have for Auba, Salah and Mkhi?

    A. Kane, Eriksen, Lingard
    B. Lukaku, Alli, Pogba

    I'm leaning towards B for Man U's fixtures

    1. 007 [RoboKlopp]
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      A imo

    2. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      A for me

    3. Eoin Jess

      Thanks guys

  10. Perthite

    Dilemma on how to use 2FTs (BB34, FH35)

    Probable outs Mustafi & Auba (Alonso too?)

    Any suggestions?

    DDG/Ryan
    Alonso Smalling Mustafi Morgan Lowton
    Salah Son Mahrez Wllian Gross
    Auba Vardy Barnes
    2FT 0.8m

    1. Home Late From Age
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      My choice below is Ward and Lukaku and keeping Alonso

      1. Perthite
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 18 days ago

        Kane is another option. Probably have take my medicine & keep Alonso after stupidly picking him even after I argued against him.

        1. Home Late From Age
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 18 days ago

          I suffered a lot myself, but I think it's time to payoff

  11. Home Late From Age
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 18 days ago

    BB this GW, 2 FT. Considering 3 transfers for -4:

    Monreal -> Ward
    Aubameyang -> Lukaku
    Salah -> Eriksen

    Should give me:

    De Gea, Ryan,
    Alonso, Maguire, Smalling, Lowton, Ward
    Mahrez, Son, Gross, Willian, Eriksen
    Vardy, Barnes, Lukaku

    Yes or No?

  12. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 18 days ago

    Knockheart anyone? Decent suggestion from LAMELA_AND_CONSUELA on my last comment. Looking to find Kane

    1. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      Milivojevic

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 18 days ago

        Decent pick. No doubles though! Hmm

  13. Liastro ⭐️
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 18 days ago

    Is Kante a good pick for the duration of the season as an enabler for Kane?

    1. Home Late From Age
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      Yes

    2. Snikii
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      No, if you are going cheep, go King 4.2

  14. Snikii
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 18 days ago

    What do you guys think?

    De Gea
    Valencia Morgan Alonso
    Eriksen Son Mahrez Willian
    Lukaku(TC) Vardy Muray

    Only worried about Sanchez.

    1. Home Late From Age
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      Looks very good

  15. FDMS All Starz
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 18 days ago

    What would you do to this team? Play BB most likely but spots of Ibe and Christensen is under threat.

    DDG-Ryan
    Alonso-Vertonghen-Christensen-Lowton-Morgan
    Son-Willian-Mahrez-Ibe-Gross
    Barnes-Kane-Lukaku

    1. Snikii
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      ride it out imo

  16. Alexis Nonsense
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 18 days ago

    Anyone care to share their potential FH34 team?

    Still debating FH / TC

    1. Snikii
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      want do a whole team, but 3 Untied,3 Lei, 1/2 Che, 2/3 Spurs. I would make sure to have Lukaku,Vardy and Kane upfront

    2. Homer21
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      Haven't exactly planned that far ahead, BB this week and FH in 35 but pointless planning for it at this stage imo

  17. Flying Finns
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 18 days ago

    Keep gudmondson or -4 for lingard? BB34

    1. Snikii
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      i would do it.

  18. 007 [RoboKlopp]
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 18 days ago

    Play one this week (plan not to BB)
    A. Mustafi vs new
    B. Lowton vs LEI, bur

    1. Snikii
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      A probably 1 point, B probably 2, soo i guess Lowton

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      B. We are in good form

    3. WE GO FOR IT
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      B

  19. The Alli Way
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 18 days ago

    DDG Henessey
    Alonso VVD Morgan Lowton Tarkowski
    Salah Mahrez Son Willian Mili
    Auba Firmino Murray

    A) Auba > Kane & VVD > Kiko
    B) Auba > Kane & Son > Arnie

  20. Pringle
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 18 days ago

    Is anyone triple captaining this week and bench boosting in 37?

    1. BIGREDDOG
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      Yarp. Mahrez or Kaku.

    2. Chelsea Rangers Loyal
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      Yes. Lukaku, Sanchez or Kane. Completely undecided. If I go Sanchez it means ditching Salah and Stanislas for an 8 point hit. HELP!

      1. BIGREDDOG
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 18 days ago

        Don't ditch Salah unless he gets re injured.

        1. Chelsea Rangers Loyal
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 18 days ago

          I know it's really scary. Still, I have a nice warm and often used place behind the sofa!

          1. Perthite

            My lounge is against the wall.

            But after reading about people on here it seems a gap between the two seems to be stsndard.

    3. OptimusBlack
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      Maybe good plan if TC lukaku

    4. Chris_H
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      Me. TC Lukaku

    5. nevins84

      Yep....

  21. jpb333
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 18 days ago

    Please help with your views on A or B? (BB34, FH35, TC37)

    A. Auba, Vardy, Son > Kane, Kaku(c), Cork

    B. Auba, Mahrez, Son > Kane, Sanchez(c), Cork

    DDG Ryan
    Alonso Mustafi Lowton Cedric Morgan
    Mahrez Salah, Willian, Son, Gross
    Auba Vardy Barnes

    1.3itb

    1. Home Late From Age
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      Similar to mine, above. I'm not willing to get rid of Mahrez or Vardy. Depending on the Liv-City result, Salah can be rested for Semi finals.

      1. jpb333
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 18 days ago

        what would be your plan if you keep Salah?

        I've listened to bits of commentary from the last two Leicester games. The commentators were questioning how much effort Mahrez was putting in.

        1. Home Late From Age
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 18 days ago

          Auba and Monreal to Lukaku and Ward and no hit involved. Then FH35 and bring in Kane in GW36.

  22. theBoose
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 18 days ago

    Christensen, yay or nay?

    A) Keep and hope he starts
    B) Ditch and bring in ...? (6.5 itb)

    Rest of the defence is Smalling Vertonghen Lowton Chilwell

    1. Tcheco
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      B

    2. WE GO FOR IT
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      Rudiger if you want a Chelsea defender and a FT to burn.

  23. WE ARE RANGERS
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 18 days ago

    Totally stuck on whether I should remove Robertson or not for a hit??

    I have 5.5 to replace him, I have used my free hit and going to use BB 34 and TC in 37, anyone got any input?

    DDG
    Maguire Davies 5.5
    Eriksen Lingaard Mahrez Sterling
    Lukaku Kane Barnes

    Ryan Lowton Chilwell Kennedy

    1. WE ARE RANGERS
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      Sorry actually have 5.6, could get Monreal?

  24. Tcheco
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 18 days ago

    Which 2 would you play?

    A. Aubameyang (new)
    B. Milivojevic (BHA)
    C. Lingard (WBA bou)

    I know the most common sense thing is to play Lingard because of the DGW but Auba & Mili have form & fixtures. Can easily see them outscore Lingard.

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years

      Auba for shizzle

    2. BIGREDDOG

    T. Caroll --> Cork -4 worth it?

    Will use him for BB and also play him in bgw35 as I have no FH.

    Im worried about TC's game time

    1. BIGREDDOG
      • 6 Years

      Nope

        Your prolly right. Just very boring to use BB with Caroll on the bench

    Good day all. With many bench boosting this week and bringing Kane (and/or Lukaku) in this week there may be some jiggling to be done up top. To afford Kanentrance many will be looking for good cheaper options with doubles to maximise the BB and take home lots of lovely points.

    Who do you like from the pack of sub-7/6.5 mil strikers with DGWs:

    Barnes - v popular on here, in good form (4 goals in the last 5, only one blank) and cheap at 5.4. Burnley have two home games against two good teams with leaky defences.

    Austin - Fantasy favourite, adores goals and Southampton need to win games immediately. Two double game weeks, and GW37 (if they're still alive) looks tasty. 5.8 mil, slight rotation risk but looks set to start both as only proven scorer they have.

    Wood - less loved than Barnes, but arguably more explosive and seems like the main man when fit. Good form (4 in 4, one blank), bit more expensive at 6.3. Differential at only 2.4% ownership.

    Murray - two doubles (34 much better than 37), but with Brighton nearly safe he may be rested. Solid scorer, and (hopefully still) on pens. 6.0 mil.

    Wilson - double this week, but very out of form. King at 7.0 looks preferable.

    Any others tickle your fancy? Or is there a SGW option that stands out?

      Barnes and Austin both look good. Not Wood as he is like for like with Vokes. Don't fancy Murray or Wilson. I currently have King - these are tough games but it's not worth a hit to change him on his current form.

    Should I do Aubameyang and Salah to Kane and Pogba?

    Would give me 11 x DGWs but no Salah is a worry. Can get him back on FH in 35.

      Wait & see how Salah looks tonight. Can easily outscore any DGW player vs. BOU

    O' well at least I tried.

    Thanks for your email.

    Opta, who provide us with our stats, have determined that Kane made no contact on the ball in this instance, and subsequently that the goal was scored by Eriksen.

    Eriksen has therefore been awarded points for scoring two goals in this match.

    For the avoidance of doubt, points awarded in-game are subject to change up until one hour after the final whistle of the last match of any given day. Once the points have all been updated on that day, no further adjustments to points will be made.
