With the International break finally at an end, our attentions can turn back to Premier League tinkering. For 256 managers, there’s the added consideration of their involvement in Round Two of the Fantasy Football Scout Cup IV. The draw for which has been made, and the full set of 128 fixtures can be viewed by clicking this link. Here are a few of the highlights the draw has provided…
There’s no other place to start than to see that Goose has been named as reigning champion Gooner dave‘s next victim. Joking aside, Goose Vs. Gooner dave certainly has a ‘tie-of-the-round’ ring to it, don’t you think?
Competing for that mantle has to be the match-up between FFS Cup I finalist Breakballartist and Locarno. Both are enjoying very respectable seasons and will both fancy their chances of making the third round.
Whilst Gooner dave goes for an incredible treble of cup wins, there are two Fantasy Managers with their sights set on their own a cup double. Members’ Paddy Power Cup Quarter-Finalists ryangal1982 and canetoad face Bloody Yanks and joeforristal, respectively, in their second fixtures of the weekend.
The hotly anticipated Jonty Vs. JauntyJonty bout didn’t come to fruition unfortunately, with the former champ being drawn against Milky, and the top-scorer from round one paired with mathsgeek.
Our final two Scout Contributors have both been handed tough second round assignments, both up against opponents who out-rank them. Big Dunc faces Yanky, whilst our American Contributor Da beeeez has a top 1000 opponent in Foolsgold.
Elsewhere, qualifier number 512 RonnayBarkay will expect to advance to the third round as he easily out-ranks his 444,563rd ranked opponent jottonolan.
Ties to be played over Gameweek 31. Good luck to all competing in the second round, and I’ll bring you it’s results shortly after gameweek has concluded.
