This afternoon, we roll out the third round draw of the Fantasy Football Scout Cup X, as sponsored by Paddy Power, and take a look back at the second round’s key encounters.

Among the enticing second round match ups between our regular community members Arvination emerged victorious in his clash with Gnu and will square up to Rabbzz in the third round. Meanwhile, our  moderator Greenwindmill lost out to Tommy J, who earns a third round tie against Breast Rumage Albion.

Aaron Ramessi claimed one of the key scalps of the second round, dispatching our last remaining former champion Gooner Dave. However,  Saniul was not so fortunate, he missed out on a third round place after being beaten 80-65 by Elfozzie, aka Chris the Fantasy Football Scout business director.

The highest scorer of the second round was Absolutely Fabregas. His score of 97 earns him £25 worth of free bets with Paddy Power.

Among the key third round ties are Moin’s clash with Jimmy The Gent and Jambo17’s match up with Bemba Da. Huddy has the honour of attempting to remove Granville from the competition.

Those with the toughest third round ties include Eatton, who faces Never Trust Lukaku, who has an overall rank of 14 and is the highest ranked competitor remaining. Psychobingo also has a difficult task when he takes on 26th placed Disco.

The full list of second round results can be found here while the third round draw in full can be found here.

Good luck to those involved in the weekend’s action. In the meantime, though, if you’re looking for more information on the Scout Cup schedule and prizes available, click this link for a more thorough rundown.

      Don't think 2) is worth -4 seeing as WestHam have terrible fixtures after Leicester.

      Simple answer

      Q) Do you own Kolarov?

      If yes, Kolarov (c), if no, buy and (c) Kolarov

      1. AH 🙂
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Me : Done Wisdom -> Zab yesturday ..
        Now want to do Baines --> Kol (c) -4

        1. Sánchez
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          I know its part joking but really, the Kolorov talk is nonsense.
          Everyone told me last week he would start, then Clichy started and got a CS.
          Clichy form is excellent. If I'm him and I get dropped, I'm not happy.
          What message does it send him? City have been winning more without Kolarov.
          To even consider the armbandon a defender who is 50-50 at best to start and who hasnt started in ages is sheer lunacy. Anyone actually doing it is nuts.

        😀

  7. Toonzie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Baines, Clyne, Yun, Naylor, Dummett

    A) Baines to Zaba
    B) Baines to Ivan
    B) Clyne to Azpi
    C) Clyne to Clichy

    1. Pinoche
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I'd keep Baines personally but if you want to sell I'd get a City defender in.

      1. Toonzie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        i can afford any def up to 6.2m if i were to get rid of clyne

        if it's city def, who do you reckon besides zaba

        1. Pinoche
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Clichy. Might miss an odd game during the festive period but he would be preferred choice..

          1. Toonzie
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            thanks, do you have him?

            1. Pinoche
              • 14 Years
              11 years, 1 month ago

              Not enough funds to get him and I've used my FT already..

    Swansea CS this GW?

    1. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      35%?

    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Which are players have the reputation of being poor away from home?

    E.g. Siggy, Bony and Hazard....

    1. Root
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Due.

        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        What?

        1. Timtastic03
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          They're due a goal away from home I think

            • 12 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            Oh. 🙂

    2. Just A Hat
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Clint Dempsey

    3. Sánchez
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Hazard is noticeably better at home

      1. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Get's more FPL pts at home but is he better ?...If he still plays just ad well then it's nothing more than coincidence...

        1. Sánchez
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Coincidences dont happen over 38 games and 2.5 seasons.
          He is better FPL wise at home. FPL points are what matter.

  10. BlueCheetah
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Bony --> Giroud for free?

    1. Takedog1
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      No

    2. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Meh, I'd save.

    3. Toonzie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      not this gw nxt

    4. OneTwo
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      No, the Gunners fixtures are crap.

      1. Podge
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Look again

    5. Rex Lapis
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      no

      1. BlueCheetah
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Alright, hunch gone, thanks all

  11. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Play Yun (WBA) or Barltey (hul)?

    1. Toonzie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Yun

    2. Pinoche
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Yun

    3. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Yun. Comes with corners

    4. fedolefan
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Pretty unanimous, thanks guys.

  12. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    So Tadic and Mirallas are out and Pelle doubtful. Owning Baines suddenly feels much better than a few days ago 🙂

    1. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I'm over the moon 😛

  13. A Defender's Nightmare
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Innsie posted City's baseline BPs a few weeks ago. I quite remember Kolarov was ranked 2nd only to Clichy in that list. He's a £5.7m mini-Baines without Mirallas!

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Except Baines plays

      1. Sánchez
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        😆 exactly

    2. AH 🙂
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      read my post below 🙂 said the exact same thing without seeing this haha

    3. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      With Aleks you have to be aware of the risks

      The amount of people on here who moan when he doesn't start or makes a 1 min cameo that keeps an unexpected CS on the bench

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        His biggest problem is that most defs either start or don't play at all, he has many one pointers from late cameos

        1. JK - Cønt ⭐
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          exactly most defenders are only likely to make 1 minute cameos if a team is defending a slender lead

          Kolarov can make a 1 minute cameo in any game

        2. Sánchez
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Again. Very good point. This is why I wont touch him.
          Too often comes on when you'd prefer he stayed benched.

    4. Sánchez
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Ah. Second to the guy who plays the same position? One to avoid then?
      Was in Scout Picks last week I recall. Wasnt exactly a wise choice then.
      Especially when there was no reason to suggest Clichy would be dropped.

      1. A Defender's Nightmare
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        1st of all it was an away game so we knew Pellegrini won't change both fullbacks who have been playing well at the same time. Pellegrini decided to rest Zaba so Clichy starts at the other end. Besides Dzeko wasn't injured when the lineups were 1st announced so Pellegrini didn't have an idea that he might need Kolarov more than Clichy. Zaba got his rest last GW & it's Clichy's turn this time IMO.

        1. Sánchez
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          So using a transfer for 1 week?
          Not the best idea in my book.

        2. JK - Cønt ⭐
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          I agree I think Kolarov starts this week

          It's after this week that's the problem

  14. Rex Lapis
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Which one?
    A. Giroud + Eriksen
    B. Kane + Yaya

    Sanchez Hazard Siggy Downing ____
    Bony Austin ____

  15. kennethrhcp
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Mirallas & Dzeko out, i'll have 20mil to bring in replacements. opinions?

    yaya, silva or nasri?

  16. AH 🙂
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    The only reason I want to do Baines -> Kolarov (c) -4 , is because anytime I watch kolarov , hes about 10x better than Baines IMO , He spends half the time in the opponents box , and him and podolski have one of the most powerfull shots im see . also good for set piece 🙂

    1. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah he's fantastic, but there's a very good reason why he isn't in everybody's team...and that reason doesn't change when he has easy fixtures.

      1. AH 🙂
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Yes . I can see why Pele doesnt play him , as SOMETIMES hes vunrable defence wise ... but cmon , you wont see a better defender that attacks better than KOL ..
        class player FPL Wise

        1. Dr Dream
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          I think he'll play this week along with Zaba...

    What to do with this team? 1FT 2.0 ITB

    Guzan / Given

    Baines / Ivanovic / Naylor / Wisdom / Duff

    Sanchez / Siggy / Downing / Yaya / Boyd

    Costa / Bony / Austin

    Any changes I should make? Should I get rid of Duff now and if so who should I replace him with? I could also just save the transfer

    1. Cojiro
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Duff> demichellis

      1. SG8
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        would I be going too heavy at the back with 3 big hitters?

        1. Cojiro
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Not for Xmas schedule with aguero out. Wildcard a big hitter up top after

    2. Sponge-worthy

      Sit back and enjoy..

  19. Jay_

      Already used my ft , 0.8 itb anything worth a hit ?

      ________Hart
      ___Ivanovic Yun Baines
      Sanchez Yaya Siggy Hazard (vc)
      ___Kane (c) Costa Austin
      (Mcc Chambers Bolasie )

    • Cojiro
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Rooney or Kane? No other coverage from their respective teams

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Rooney might play up top and Hutton.

        Also Villa is the PL team he has scored most goals against....

      I wouldn't sell Baines for a hit. Not sure if you're serious but I think I'm buying him for free- Kompany to Kolarov.

      Clyne ----> Clichy for free?

      1. Sánchez

        If you dont have Clichy, dont buy him.
        Stick to players with no competition for their place

          Even with the city run of fixtures?

          Wouldn't it be better to start Clichy and if he doesn't play, Wisdom or Hutton to be auto subbed on, than play Clyne who has a horrific run of fixtures and his team are not in form?

      Who will get more points this GW in your opinion?

      A - Yaya x 2
      B - Costa + Siggy + 4 pts

      1. Sánchez
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Very odd choice but B seems very likely to win I'd say

        1. Shane Ferguson 4.0
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          It all about Boyd to Yaya for -4 hit. It would mean Siggy on the bench and captain Yaya instead of Costa
