The draw for the first round of the 2019/20 FFS Cup FFS Cup

For those Fantasy managers who took part in last weekend’s Fantasy Football Scout Paddy Power Cup VII Third Round, a link to the results can be found here.

This includes the exit of Mark, whose dreams of silverware ended after he lost out in a duel with The Shadow. World number three Iyad Zahlan is the highest ranked remaining Fantasy manager left – he scraped through 36-34 last time out in what was a low scoring round for many.

A quick heads-up for the 128 who have made it through this far. The next round will be played this weekend (Gameweek 15). The upcoming Gameweek 14 round of fixtures which starts this evening will not contribute towards your chances of Scout Cup progress. We are currently sorting the draw for the next round behind the scenes and will roll this out on Thursday morning.

    people saying never bench berba need to be aware we are talking about a chelsea side under a disciplined manager like rafa benitez.

    They hardly got forward and didn't concede v city and never honestly looked threatened. Fulham meanwhile are missing key members of their team and v an equally disciplned side in stoke they struggled.

    So why with the never bench berba talk. Sure he got goals v arsenal but was that really a suprise? Arsenal are hardly a defensive team are they?

        but they are under a new regime now, a new style of play

        Previous stats were under RDM, Benitez has always preferred the more cautious approach.

      Tbvh, it'd be foolish to judge Chelsea's attack under the new manager when they have played only match against City, I'm pretty sure Rafa was looking for a draw, but that doesn't mean he'll transform the side to a defensive one.

      I wouldn't recommend subbing any striker though as they're the most likely to score goals. If you're considering dropping a forward to the bench then its time to get rid imo.

        Well my point is I can't correct all the errors in one go. Nolan is ok, Kac can sit on the bench for now. Everton aren't keeping clean sheets can apply to Baines too. Walters is home this week and could register... So I'm thinking Ba -> Giroud this week and next week I'm sacking Hazard and Walters and going for Silva and Sterling...

      He is playing because Ivanovic is playing CB. Once Terry is back, I think Ivanovic will move to the right. But Azpillcueta is Spanish and Benitez loves Spanish players. So you never know.

      Terry: Subbed off in 11/11 game with Liverpool due to problem. Roberto Di Matteo revealed on 16/11 he may be out for three weeks. So, in 2-3 GWs.

    4 people have gotten rid of Sebastian Squillaci today. 😀 Wenger is not one of them.

    Wow, probably the most difficult week to decide what players to play & bench

    BEGOVIC (Jaask)
    CAMERON CUELLAR CLYNE BAINES (demel)
    PUNCHEON silva MICHU cazorla MATA
    tevez RVP berbatov

    Capitals = home (definite bench)

    Can't decide who to bench, Baines home v Arsenal, Berbs away at Chelsea?
    Play Puncheon? Clyne?

    Help me out lads!
