The draw for the second round of the Fantasy Football Scout Cup III, sponsored by Paddy Power, has been made and the 128 fixtures can be viewed right here. As you’ll see, the draw has thrown out some interesting match-ups…

There are plenty of candidates for the glamour tie of the round, such as Anorak Vs. Dirty_Harry, jms Vs. gooner dave and Keith Vs. Voronin is gone… to name a few. In a big tie for the second round in a row is greghammer95 who has been drawn against hello 911 it’s quagmire….

Round one top-scorer beeduybe may feel he doesn’t need a repeat performance to get to the last 128, with his round two opponent DundalkKid ranked much lower than him.

I’ve decided to give myself a bit of a challenge this week, so there’s no four point head start this time round. Not only that, but I’ve gone one further and handed myself a top 1000 opponent in JohnSteed01.

As for my colleagues, top 4k Granville has a tough draw against top 3k wolves_simmo, and Pure Olivia also has a higher ranked opponent in Ty_Durden67.

Moving on to our former champions, and the tough draws keep coming. FFS Cup II winner Jonty faces 368th in the world And_der_roo, and FFS Cup I champ donnellyc is a huge underdog in his tie against ham5ter.

The two Fantasy Managers handed a second bite of the cup apple haven’t faired any better it seems. TorresMagic takes on mobbonkhouse who, for the first time this season, moved into the top 1000 and eclipsed our Aussie friend in the overall rankings. As for Roger C, for who a red arrow didn’t see him drop out of the top 1000, he faces bill badger, a Fantasy Manager on a good run and with two free transfers in hand.

All fixtures are to be played during Gameweek 9. As always, a free £25 bet courtesy of Paddy Power awaits the top-scoring Fantasy Manager of the second round. Good luck to everyone involved, and I’ll bring you the results on Tuesday.

    G. Johnson or Baines?

    Obviously it seems suicidal to go for a Liverpool player right now, but l need badly need some good defenders for this gameweek, and Blackburn at home is quite an easy fixture, certainly in comparison to Tottenham away for Baines

    Help?

      go with G.Johnson. Everton has a more attractive player inn Coleman at the moment, and Johnson is Liverpools biggest threath in front of the goal....both goals that is!

      Johnsons been shit this season. Hodgson won't let him attack and Liverpool are far from assured a clean sheet. Not to mention the fact he's been injured and might not even play. Avoid.

    The last thing we need is Adebayor hitting form... Tevez is half the FPL player when Ade's on the pitch, as was shown last weekend. Really is a problem if you ask me.

          Was just looking at your team. I think it comes down to how malouda does how you spend that big wad of dough you have there saved up. Assume fans is coming in. So tevez v malouda give or take a surprise score from a cheaper player. Good luck

            Hmm - Fabs is coming in at some point, but I'm actually tempted to splurge it on Tevez now, especially as Odemwingledingle is still doubtful.
            Nasri could do a job for now alongside Malouda before one of them is upgraded.

            Bale to Van der Vaart I presume for you.
