Next up, a quick update on the results from the fifth round of the Paddy Power Fantasy Football Scout Cup VII ahead of this afternoon’s sixth round draw. World number three Iyad Zahlan continued his ominous march towards the silverware by seeing off davescold by 69 to 51.

Ro6035 progressed with a superb 90 point haul in Gameweek 16 – the highest score from any of our round five victors, while Chris White edged his way past Gylfi-MyNerdSon 80-79 in the highest scoring tie of the previous round.

Behind the scenes, we’ve already made the draw for this weekend’s round of matches and will be rolling out an article on the final 32 later today.

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

              Yeah, all the top teams have stalled a bit (except Boom 😡 ) as the bottom teams get some wins. It's getting congested for CL qualification now...

                    Indeed, it must be the equivalent of leading Reading to a mid table finish, nigh on impossible.

              Been avoiding looking at it lately. I just noticed I've been drawn into a relegation battle. That's more exciting than mid-table obscurity. Come on lads, pick yourselves up.

      Wicked, I hadn't even spotted that they'd changed that.

      Think that's because the PA wrongly awarded a block to Shawcross that should have been Cameron, and I guess they've now changed it.

    ***Third forward is RVP

    C) No RVP- Suarez + Rooney + Torres + Bale

    D) Nor RVP- Suarez + Rooney + Defoe + Mata

    I can’t decide. What do you think?

    For a team that are bad at keeping cleansheets but full of goals, its crazy that Utd's top 3 defenders have all comfortably outscored their best scoring midfielders:

    Rafael 63
    Evra 56
    Evans 44

    vs

    Carrick (!) 36
    Valencia 33

            True and so has rafael I think. Still a bit surprising they have scored so many goals with the midfield contributing so little though.
