Today, we bring you the draw for the First Round of the Fantasy Football Scout Cup X, as sponsored by Paddy Power, after the qualifying rounds for the competition took place over Gameweek 13 at the weekend.

First of all, entrants with a score of 44 points or more have earned a spot in the First Round of the Fantasy Football Scout Cup X. If you scored 44 points, it was then down to overall rank to decide whether you progressed. As usual, then, the standard was very high – just ask Mark – he’s been knocked out in qualifying with 41 points.

While Mark fell at the first hurdle, Granville’s lineup progressed and he’ll face juramentardo in the opening round, which takes place this weekend. Mark does, however, live on through his combination ScoutCast team with Granville – that lineup made it through with an impressive 62 points and will face off against Clueless XI in this round – a suitable opponent.

Our reigning champion, Gribude is, of course, one of the former winners who earns a bye to the first round and he’ll face deporhostia in the opening round as he bids to become our first to successfully defend their crown. Others taking on former cup champions include confundido who takes on some chap called Jonty, while AmberGamer who faces ex-champ donnellyC.

There are no less than 14 top 100 managers in draw, including the current FPL world number one rayvas – definitely a name to avoid should he make it past pkilleen in this first round.

Other eye-catching encounters are Laurel Hill‘s tough tie against Fantasy Football Scout moderators and contributors league leader Tinkerman, who is currently 270th overall, our moderator Greenwindmill’s battle against Canary Wharf, and Cobblersnz’s match up with our team news man Demi.

There are also some notable match ups between well known community members with Sporting facing Davysteen and  4Vets against 1966 was a great year…

Good luck to those involved in the weekend’s action but for those that missed out this time, there is some good news as we  aim to run another Cup competition from March next year.

    Annoyed that Aguero is starting today. Now I have know idea whether to (C) him this weekend or not 🙁

      Like I said a few days ago. They have no one else. Jovetic is their only other forward and he cannot lead the line.

        • 14 Years
        11 years, 26 days ago

        oh arse didnt see that............. sorry 🙄

    4. Black Knights
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 26 days ago

      You didn't qualify. The hit took you to 44 points.

      1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 26 days ago

        yep seen that now 🙁

        1. Black Knights
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 26 days ago

          Sorry mate, Gnu's post wasn't there when I started writing. Don't want to rub it in, very unlucky.

  10. Kerz
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 26 days ago

    Aguero will boost the top 10k average by 1.4 points with every point he scores. If you own him but are not captaining him - you definitely want a blank!

    1. Your Mum's Athletic
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 26 days ago

      o/ or Baines hattie

    2. Puyol Pants Up
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 26 days ago

      I'm scared.

    3. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 26 days ago

      As long as my captain outscores him I will be pleased.

    4. Black Knights
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 26 days ago

      It's a shade over 1.3. So if he finishes on 6, they get 8. I'll take that.

  11. Mary
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 26 days ago

    Anyone captain Sanchez? can really see him scoring tonight

    1. Hamstergod
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 26 days ago

      I did, was deciding between him and Bony

    2. Towsor44
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 26 days ago

      Yep I have 🙂

    3. Wouter
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 26 days ago

      You can? Welbeck is the one I feel will score one or two tonight.

  12. JAC THE CAT
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 26 days ago

    Will Moore play next GW now Morgan is suspended?

    1. Lallana_
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 26 days ago

      He's likely too! I still expect only 1-2 pts from him...

      1. JAC THE CAT
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 26 days ago

        Even against Villa?

        1. LOCO ABREU
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 26 days ago

          yep

        2. HamezMace
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 26 days ago

          Against super tekkers

          1. super zlatan
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 26 days ago

            Yes

  13. S.Kuqi
    • 13 Years

    "The last time Spurs won at Stamford Bridge was in February 1990"

    1. Mata-Is-The-Juan
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 26 days ago

      Somehow can't see this Spurs team being the one to break that poor record.

  14. Mo Mané Mo Problems
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 26 days ago

    Pellegrini really hates James Milner

    1. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 26 days ago

      navas' pace won't do much against sunderland

      1. mookie
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 26 days ago

        should’ve played Lampard imo

    2. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 26 days ago

      Milner is 10x the footballer that Navas is. Mental that he continuously chooses Navas to me.

  15. Simon69
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 26 days ago

    This is probably a stupid question.. Where do you keep track of the Paddy Power Cup - progression and opponents? I've never entered before.

    1. Mata-Is-The-Juan
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 26 days ago

      1st time player as well.
      Guessing they'll have weekly articles and a link to check your match-ups.

      1. Simon69
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 26 days ago

        Just saw the link to the first round in the article 🙂

      2. Black Knights
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 26 days ago

        There is a regular post. The first link in the second paragraph has the draw.

    Do Sky still show football?

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 26 days ago

      Apparently next year the Champions league will all be on BT - I hadn't realised that until I was told today.

    2. HamezMace
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 26 days ago

      Sometimes, although the monopoly is crumbling

  18. TwiggsJameson
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 26 days ago

    Benching Chadli and playing Boyd has worked out well 🙂

    1. Bellerinmondo
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 26 days ago

      would have been the same either way i guess

    2. Tony Warner Fan Club
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 26 days ago

      Wish I'd done that.

  19. Bellerinmondo
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 26 days ago

    Which game are people watching tonight?

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 26 days ago

      Chelsea

    2. Bellerinmondo
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 26 days ago

      Everton for me

    3. mookie
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 26 days ago

      Everton. I always enjoy their games even though i don’t own any of them atm.

    4. Chambo
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 26 days ago

      Arsenal - Southampton and Chelsea - Tottenham

  20. super zlatan
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 26 days ago

    Who to play this weekend?

    Clyne or wisdom?

    1. Mata-Is-The-Juan
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 26 days ago

      I'd fancy a WBA CS despite Hull playing at home . Let's see if they continue their poor form when they play Everton.

    2. Exeter Gently
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 26 days ago

      id say wisdom

  21. Venom Snake
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 26 days ago

    Is Sanchez playin up front? 😯

    1. Chambo
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 26 days ago

      left wing, can switch with Welbeck during game

      1. Venom Snake
        • 12 Years

    1. Puyol Pants Up
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 26 days ago

      Get rid.

      1. Venom Snake

  25. Colonel Shoe 肝池
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 26 days ago

  26. Mr Pink
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 26 days ago

    So far, so good; Chadli on the bench. Now I just need him to stay there for Hutton to come off my FPL bench. I´d say it´s about 97% chance that Chadli will come on for a 1 point cameo late on in the game.

    1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 26 days ago

      ive got marney comin on 😕

    2. Podge

  27. Tomas Brolin ate all Depays
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 26 days ago

    wish i hadnt sold welbeck before sundays game , fecking stuck with pelle !

    1. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 26 days ago

      You sold him for Pelle or you had both and chose to sell welbeck? Don't agree with either!

      1. Tomas Brolin ate all Depays
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 26 days ago

        sold welbeck as though giroud would take the lone striker role. bought bony. continue to also hold pelle

  28. Exeter Gently
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 26 days ago
