This evening we roll out the draw for the Second Round of the Fantasy Football Scout Cup VIII, sponsored by Paddy Power. The ties, which will be played over Gameweek 13, hand defending champion Wild Rover another tricky task – he’s up against Laser314, who sits just outside the top 5,000 Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers.
Amongst the contributors, Granville goes head-to-head with dullardinho, with Mark’s podcast sidekick the highest-ranked of the pair, whilst our Suspension Tightrope expert Anarok is a slight underdog against DrD.
Looking at some of the former winners, Goonerdave is a hot favourite against viewoftheland – he’s almost 500,000 places ahead of his opponent in this week’s standings. Similarly, sleepingmaster is odds-on against ChickenDevil, though Jonty has a tougher time of it in an encounter with Birthday Sess. Donnellyc has been matched with 99% Dullard, who sits around the 1.3 million mark, while MCH undoubtedly has the hardest task of any our previous winners – he squares up to PGL NIL SATIS, who is ranked 532nd overall.

Evening all.
Third week running I've had 2FT, so maybe now is the time to do some surgery. Scoring well, but not that well. Captains are saving the day at the moment.
Boruc | Davis
Baines | Terry | Chico | Clyne | Burner
Ozil | Sess| Ramsey | Barkley | Ravel
Suarez | Aguero | Lukaku
2FT 2.6m
I've got an 8 pointer in mind to set myself up for a mid of Wally, Haz & Silva in the near future. A step back to go forward.
Baines | Chico | Ozil | Barkley --> Johnson | Gabbidon | Hazard | Oscar
Gives me the exact cash for Sess to Walcott if all things remain equal & I might ditch Johnson for Mert once Arsenal get past their two hard fixtures immediately before Liverpool enter their two hard games.
Would mean this 3x1 def rotation of (CAR|CPL|SOT) through to GW24.
