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.

    RVP -

    Last 5: 4 goals, 2 assists
    Next 5: avl, NEW, spurs, stk, SOU

    Costa -

    Last 5: 2 goals
    Next 5: stk, WHU, sou, spurs, NEW

    I have been contemplating Costa - RVP recently, but looking at fixtures, they are in fact very similar!
    I still think RVP will score more over the coming weeks and is in better form, what are your thoughts gents?

    1. justgiving.com/JonnyChard
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      and RVP's last 5 have been better teams than Costa's last 5

    2. Mozart_s Balls
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      11 years, 1 month ago

      I'm doing it.
      A bit reluctant though, everybody has Costa - if this doesn't go well, i'll loose ground. But it will 😉

      1. justgiving.com/JonnyChard
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        I am seriously considering... fallen out of love with Costa and Baines as of late, so was considering shipping for RVP + £5.7 (Cresswell, Clichy, Bavies etc)

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

          I think it's a good move - but not with Cresswell (look at his fixtures after this GW).

          1. justgiving.com/JonnyChard
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            Which would you suggest under £5.7?

          2. justgiving.com/JonnyChard
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            Could get Clichy, play him, and if he gets rested this GW, I have Wisdom on the bench to cover 🙂

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

              I think i would go with Clichy...

              1. justgiving.com/JonnyChard
                • 11 Years
                11 years, 1 month ago

                it would be a -4, but feel it will pay off over the coming weeks 🙂

      2. justgiving.com/JonnyChard
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Looking at it, we have very very similar teams Mozart!

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

          Indeed we do.

          I'm thinking Costa + Siggy -> RVP + 4.5 mid

          It's gonna be a christmas RVP miracle 🙂

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

            I did Costa + Siggy to RVP and Downing.

            Feels good.

    3. Efan Ekoku Pops
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      It seems like a luxury transfer, but if nothing else is pressing it could work out well.

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

      I got RVP because of the next two...and the fact that Costa is nailed for at least a YC against ShawX...I'll look again after that.

      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      And then
      RVP - qpr/LEI
      Costa - swa/MCI

      1. justgiving.com/JonnyChard
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Man U's fixtures after the WC... so much better than Chelsea's.. I think I might as well go for it, make things interesting, and hope it pays off!

  2. TheOneAndOnly
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Kolarov (C) ?

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

      Baines > Kol (c) -4

      1. TheOneAndOnly
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        That's my plan, waiting for Pelligrini to confirm he will be playing striker in the presser 2mo

    2. laGan1n1
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      wtf ?

      why, mate ?

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

    First manager to be sacked?

    I reckon it will be Rodgers....

    1. justgiving.com/JonnyChard
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I wonder whether there will ever be a season when a manager isn't sacked.. would be interesting!

    2. Heels_Over_Head
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Pulis sacked hhimself ages ago

      But I hope for Rodges to be gone by Christmas, really I do

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

        Klopp is ready to come

    3. The Gambler.
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      No chance

    4. Debauchy
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      No , doubt it.

    5. Mr. Perfectionist
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Nigel Pearson

  4. Debauchy
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    When in doubt - just do nothing ?
    So many questions - so many different answers over the last few days.

    Captain choices , there's an argument for any of, 5 or 6 of them.

    Cant even go with your gut because you are receiving so many gut feels.

    Good luck all - but a good week to save and see

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

      That looks uncannily like me waiting to hear back from FFE.

        1. Wilshere Knowledge
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          😆

  5. ralfb
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Is kolarow really playing as no 9? Worth -8 to get him in, i suppose?

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

      please don't fall for a running joke

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        I didnt even start it!

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

          didn't think you were the origin and it is better fun than the trolls saying eriksen is going to be rested as if they have factual information

      2. ralfb
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Actually, wouldnt be surprised if he really would, he should be as good as pozzo as striker

    2. TheOneAndOnly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Probably, if you captain

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

        Will demichelis be his partner upfront?

        1. Ginkapo FPL
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Dont be fecking stupid

          1. Ginkapo FPL
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            😀

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

              He is not too bad, scored some headers so far

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

                Might do a -12 to get them all

        2. TheOneAndOnly
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Demi plays CB, some1 flag this guy

        3. Heels_Over_Head
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          solid question but perhaps not pacey enough

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

            Good with headers, second andy carroll;-)

    3. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Ah mate.

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

    I think I'll decided tomorrow whether to follow my sensible side and get Mangala or my punty side and get Kolarov

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

      punt

    2. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      GET BOTH!

  7. Ginkapo FPL
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    How can you post a photo of Kolarov training as a striker? Why was he doing excercises with the other strikers....

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

      i didn't

      did you?

      show it

    2. laGan1n1
      • 13 Years

    3. TheOneAndOnly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Apparently City took them down off twitter

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        That doesnt work, someone will have screenshotted it already.

    4. Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Kolarov does not need to train as a striker , he trains strikers

  8. Bobbond123
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Should I start Dummett or Bertrand this week?

  9. Ronny Hotdog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Right, Clyne to Clichy, Baines to Kolarov. Done

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

      Lovely...

    2. TheOneAndOnly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      prepare for points

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

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

  10. Heels_Over_Head
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    i just finished drinking a beer

    was it a good choice? should have i drank it? for a hit?

    would you have another? for -8?

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

      No.
      But another for a hit, is now a good choice

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

        And then go for a -16

    2. Absolutely-Fabregas
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Definitely. Take as many hits as possible when it comes to beer.

    3. Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Upgrade to JD

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

      'Tis fine. Just don't drive to Scotland for a 12pt hit.

    5. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Just click WC and drink a crate

    6. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      What beer. I'm on Benediktiner.

    Good to go?

    Lloris

    1. ralfb

      Nope, your missing kolarov

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

    Is mc playing with one striker kolarov only or are they playing 4 1 3 2 with demichelis and kolarov upfront?

  13. Absolutely-Fabregas
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Hello all 😀
    What to do with this team? 0FT and 0.5M.

    Adrian
    Wisdom - Taylor - Azpi - Yun
    Hazard - Sanchez - Siggy
    RVP (C) - Costa - Austin

    Subs: Hamer - Boyd - Mirallas - Hutton

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

      play through, gtg

    2. Debauchy
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Nothing

      1. Absolutely-Fabregas
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Just bench Mirallas and play 4 dumbos at the back?

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

          Yeah , nothing worth a hit imo . Plus will have a better idea where to go next gw.

          1. Absolutely-Fabregas
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            Thanks I had the same feeling. Downing's fixtures not so good, and plus is Mirallas is coming back next GW i think benching him is best.

  14. Colonel Shoe 肝池
    • 14 Years

    i see kolarovitis has taken hold then

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

      spreading but not full blown yet... still waiting/dreading the wave of people changing their gravs to various kolarov iconizations

    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    United v Villa last 5:
    4-1, 3-0, 3-0, 3-2, 4-0

    Also:

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

      sp villa are due?

    2. Debauchy
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      So due a low scoring game then ?

    3. sweensa
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Good game if you have RvP captain . Utd always seem to get a pen against villa. At home though not away. Still think utd will win 3-1

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

    Baines & Costa -> Clichy& RVP? -4

    😀

    1. Every Dog Has Its Day
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Yes 🙂

    2. ralfb
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Go for it

    3. Debauchy
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Nope

    4. justgiving.com/JonnyChard
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      those are literally the same transfers I am contemplating ahaha see top of the page!

  16. Every Dog Has Its Day
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Baines, Costa -> Davies, RVP? -8.

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

      Serious ???

    2. Absolutely-Fabregas
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Hell no.

  17. Absolutely-Fabregas
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    A) Mirallas > Downing/Barkley/7.7M for a HIT

    B) Bench Mirallas, play Wisdom as 4th defender.

    Thoughts?

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

      Nope, play mirrallas

      1. Absolutely-Fabregas
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        😮

    2. Every Dog Has Its Day
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Mirallas -> Downing.

    3. ralfb
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Didnt mirrallas say hes fit? So could play him, if he doesnt wisdom comes in. You would need at least 6 points from mirallas replacement if you take hit

  18. New post
  19. Debauchy
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    I was a " Costa Seller " and enjoyed the rather barren patch.
    But if you have him now ( I do ) I would not be rushing to sell him just yet.

    He should be back to full fitness now and it is likely he will be really motivated to get in on the goals again.
    Thats my thinking anyway , 2 more games and then decide . But so many looking to sell ?

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

      I think I'll give him this GW but United against Newcastle it'll be hard to resist RVP or Rooney

  20. AbsolutelyFabregas
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Team of the round 🙂 First and last time I'll ever win anything on FFS. How do I get those free bets then?

    1. RedLightning
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Well done. Try emailing Jonty.

  21. martz
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Ho would you play, Benteke or Bony?

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

      Bony. All day long. Much weaker opponents and he's a much better player. Benteke has been pony since his first season at Villa.

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

        I am wondering, whether he will blank, since he is on a run of 5 games without a blank. Everything comes to an end...
