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.

            How did you come to that conclusion? Fans were obviously asking how his injury is and if he'll be playing so he responded by saying Colin Lewin (club physio), has told the players not to share that information over twitter, he was obviously joking about the "have a go at him when you see him on the pitch part"

              im not jsut talking about that specific tweet. IHe's been jabbering loads of shite out of him.

              Personally i think they should all stay off social media. It can never be a good thing for them But he's leaving and doesnt give a shit about arsenal so maybe it doesnt apply to him as much.

              Still stupid though

                I agree to a certain extent but it is good for fans to interact with the players. Some players are daft with what they post but Fabregas has probably been one of the more sensible tweeters.

    If a player has a double game week to come, and isn’t injured… is there any coherent argument to trasnfer him out? To me it seems silly since he was probably bought because of the dgw, and a loss of form means nothing.

    GRRR i keep hitting reply ...

    I’m talking about players like vdv (who isn’t confirmed as a rotation risk or injured) brum defenders (who have lost form but can be benched if necessary before gw33) bentley (who hasnt been getting points but should start twice in gw33 and has a good chance of scoring well at some point) torres (why sell him so close to the gw where he might go crazy?) nasri (who has been started whenever fit, i think) etc.

    For me, i’d never sell these people. But i know i put too much emphasis on double game weeks, and am trying to adjust that mentality. Thats why i got 146 and 126 (or something similar) in the dgws, but was pretty TERRIBLE in many of the surrounding weeks.

    When football went to the USA the were TWO English organisations promoting it: the F.A and S.O.C.A.
    The F.A disbanded and left in under 5 years while the latter spread in popularity throughout the eastern seaboard. The game was unofficially named after it's organisation around 1885 and is pronounced SOCCER to this day.

      In British English slang, a toff is a mildly derogatory term for someone with an aristocratic background, particularly someone who exudes an air of superiority. For instance, The Toff, a character from the series of adventure novels by John Creasey is an upper-class crime sleuth, who uses a common caricature of a toff - a line drawing with a top hat, monocle, bow-tie and cigarette with a holder - as his calling card.

        Anytime i'm thinking you're a bit of an idiot, i look at your avatar and remember how much i love that film.

        And I remember that that character is, too, a bit of an idiot, and that's precisely what makes him so likeable.

        Grrr

    Right. Four-point hit done. Torres in and captained.

    Think it's called "shit or bust".

        Tevez. Never had Rooney.

        Just got a feeling about Torres. I'm more worried about going in with five defenders, given the lack of clean sheets lately.
