This afternoon, we roll out the fifth round draw of the Fantasy Football Scout Cup X, as sponsored by Paddy Power, and take a look back at the key events during Boxing Day’s fourth round ties.

There were three centurians in round four, who managed to go through into the fifth round in style with impressive three-digit points totals. United Nations was the fourth round’s top scorer, with his tally of 103 earning him £25 of free bets with Paddy Power.

Gimli son of Gloin’s score of 101 was more than enough to see off Dez and earn a fifth round tie with 1966 was a great year. Meanwhile, Luke Costello’s perfect century got the better of Rich Davies in the fourth round.

Granville also marches on, with his 71 score enough to take him through to the fifth round, where he faces Mediocre Men.

Other key fifth round match ups include Mata Is The Juan, who has drawn the short straw and faces the competition’s highest ranked manager Never Trust Lukaku, who sits in eighth overall. Laurel Hill faces United Nations, while Triggy takes on the Mutant Ninja Skrtels.

In total, 14 of the 64 fifth round competitors are in the top 1,000, further underlying how tough this tournament is during its later stages.

The full list of fourth round results can be found here while the fifth 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.

    Does Walcott have a chance of starting tomorrow due to rotation?

    1. World XI
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 6 days ago

      Sub appearance If anything.

  3. World XI
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 6 days ago

    Knocked out round 4. Was fun while it lasted

  4. You've got red on you.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 6 days ago

    Yaya and Chambers -----> Silva and Terry

    For free! Do it to help upgrade Chambers? Got to get rid of Yaya in a couple of GWs anyway.

    1. gruffyboy
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 6 days ago

      Too risky to get rid of Yaya in my opinion. Any chance you can double up on City?

      1. You've got red on you.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 6 days ago

        He's out for ACON soon anyway.

        1. gruffyboy
          • 16 Years

          I know, but they have some tidy fixtures before that

        You have a mention in the article. Apparently you don't need the link 😀

      A.

    2. Lyonnais
      • 13 Years

      I like B

      1. World XI
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 6 days ago

        Silva does really appeal. Toughest choice this season.

    3. The Nuttmxn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 6 days ago

      A, hit's are bad at Christmas time, mkay.

    Happy xmas all!

    Which one should I bench this week - downing, carroll or kane?

    1. Iwantmorepointsthanks
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 days ago

      Downing

    2. gruffyboy
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 6 days ago

      Carroll

    3. Skipdipper
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 6 days ago

      Carroll

  9. exammy
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 6 days ago

    Yun > Skrtel/Zaba
    or
    Siggy > Erikson/Sterling/Fab
    can only do one

    1. The Machine
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 days ago

      Wouldn't get sterling

      1. exammy
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 6 days ago

        Why not Sterling? Bigger point potential than Siggy surely

        1. The Machine
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 6 days ago

          Afcon

          1. exammy
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 6 days ago

            eh?

    2. World XI
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 6 days ago

      Yun > Zab

  10. Here's the manager
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 6 days ago

    Bring Silva in for
    A Downing
    B siggy
    C Eriksen
    D Hazard

    Have Costa Austin and Bony
    May also do Bony to Kane

    1. World XI
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 6 days ago

      B

  11. Evs
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 6 days ago

    So, I feel I must get Austin in this week but for who ?

    Kane ?

    Van Persie ?

    It's a toughie.

    1. floydy_floyd
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 6 days ago

      Surely that's easy

      1. Evs
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 6 days ago

        Kane ?

    2. World XI
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 6 days ago

      RVP out of the two. The money can seriously strengthen other areas

      1. Evs
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 6 days ago

        Better fixtures than Kane though ?

        1. World XI
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 6 days ago

          A good point. It's a tricky one.

    3. Tim Canterbury
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 6 days ago

      Kane

    4. Rhinos
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 days ago

      rvp if he doesnt play, wil know the line up half hour before deadline

      1. Evs
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 6 days ago

        Ohhhh... Good point.

        Cheers Rhinos 🙂

      2. The Handsome Hunk
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 6 days ago

        if ypu have rooney in place of RvP.. then..??? for (-4)

    5. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 6 days ago

      I wish I'd got Kane when I got RvP.

  12. Ozils Twin
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 6 days ago

    Did downing & bony to silva & austin last night.

    Feel like I should have got rid of siggy instead. Can anyone ease my worry?

  14. Reeker
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    When's Bony and Yaya going AFCON?

    1. World XI
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 6 days ago

      2 to 3 more GW'S

  15. Sting
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 6 days ago

    Is two Spurs attackers too much?

    Ditch Eriksen for Silva? (Already own Yaya)

  16. HP.
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 6 days ago

    Best defender for 5.2 or under?

    1. Kikofraeuropa
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 6 days ago

      I would get Hutton

    2. Best for business
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 6 days ago

      Struggling to find one too but am thinking of Debuchy

  17. Lyonnais
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 6 days ago

    Hart / Elliot
    Baines, Azpilicueta, Hutton / Wisdom, Yun
    Sanchez, Yaya (VC), Hazard, Downing / Sigurdsson
    Costa, Austin (C), Kane

    2 FT, 0.1 ITB

    What would you do ?
    Maybe get Silva and Zabaleta/Kolarov ?

  18. zencro 42
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 6 days ago

    Someone please talk me out of getting Skrtel instead of Mangala

    1. World XI
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 6 days ago

      Don't do it!

    2. The Handsome Hunk
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 6 days ago

      Mangal is on 4 yellow.. and skrtel have attacking threat through corners..

      1. zencro 42
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 6 days ago

        Not helping!

        1. Jones Town
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 6 days ago

          Skrtel on 4 yellows too!

    3. Skipdipper
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 6 days ago

      Skrtel plays for the bin dippers. Enough said

      1. AH 🙂
        • 11 Years

      2. World XI

          1. World XI
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 6 days ago

    3. Nico.
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 days ago

      Cause you copied my team name 😉

    4. iCon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      A for sure!

  20. Hibbo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 6 days ago

    Baines then, complete waste of space.

    1. Rhinos
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 days ago

      at the moment but could have been very different yesterday, was very attacking. He always ends up near top defender so id keep

    2. gruffyboy
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 6 days ago

      i got rid a couple of weeks ago - felt great

  21. MrZ
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 6 days ago

    How did falcao play yesterday? Is he a better option than rooney? Didnt watch the whole match....
    Was tempted to get falcao for bony, before rooney screw my decision 🙂

    1. Evs
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 6 days ago

      He played well.

      Very busy.

      Unlucky not to get on the scoresheet.

    2. Kikofraeuropa
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 6 days ago

      He played ok, but he isn't a better option than Rooney

      1. MrZ
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 6 days ago

        Thanks for the response evs, henry....
        Falcao was ok in last 2 gw, while rooney was quiet in villa's game.
        Gonna be a tough call.....

    3. HamezMace
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 6 days ago

      Rooney more nailed on from United front 3

  22. AH 🙂
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 6 days ago

    @ JK

    A) Baines & Siggy --> Silva + Debuchy
    B) Baines & Bony --> Tekkers + Kolarov/JT
    C) Baines & Siggy & Bony --> Benteke , Silva , Kolarov (-4)

    Both free .

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

      B with JT IMO

      1. The Machine
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 6 days ago

        Afcon...

        1. The Nuttmxn
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years

          Last time I checked JT was not African, far from it in fact.

      2. AH 🙂
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 6 days ago

        Yeah .... But I really think I Need silva ... I was like 1 month late to join the sanchez bandwagon when he was £11.2 , so i dont want to do that with Silva...

  23. Kikofraeuropa
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 6 days ago

    My midfield is Toure, Hazard, Siggs, Sanchez
    2ft

    A) Toure + Siggs for Silva + Sterling
    B) Hazard + Siggs for Silva + Sterling
    C) Toure for Silva

    1. The Machine
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 days ago

      You want to sell toure?

      1. Kikofraeuropa
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 6 days ago

        I honestly I want to sell Hazard. He has 2 upcoming away games.

        1. Kikofraeuropa
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 6 days ago

          Vs southampton and spurs

  24. iCon
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 6 days ago

    Is anyone fixing the dodgy link to round 5 draw?

    1. HVT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 6 days ago

      You still in Icon?

      1. iCon
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 6 days ago

        Yep, assume you breezed through with your score this week?

  25. Eoin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 6 days ago

    Got drunk last night instead of watching price rises and now priced out of the Silva market. Was going to transfer Eriksen out for him. Blessing in disguise or should I be looking to find funds to make it happen?

  26. Lincos
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 6 days ago

    thoughts on

    Chambers to Zab
    Boyd to Silva
    RVP to Kane

    leaves me .9 and a - 4 point hit

    team would be

    Foster
    Azpi,Clyne,Zab
    Sanchez,Silva,Eriksen,Fab,Siggy
    Costa,Austin

    Krul, Kane, Wisdom, S Taylor

    too risky??

  27. Dr Kenneth Noisewater
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 6 days ago

    DDG
    Azpili - Zab - Clichy
    Haz - Eriksen - Sanch - Silva (c)
    Austin - Kane - Rooney

    Bench: McCarthy - Chambers - Yun - Boyd

    2.3ITB, 1FT - The only obvious move I can see is do change Yun, but is it worth saving the FT this week?

  28. AH 🙂
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 6 days ago

    Whats everyone's opinion on Bentekkers ?? Will he do decent in this run of games , and if your not getting him in , what is the reason ?

    1. iCon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 6 days ago

      Bony to Tekkers next week for me...don't want to spend points this close to WC

    2. Rhinos
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 days ago

      i got him last night for Giroud, gut says he beats Austin from here on in but Villa aint great so could be wrong

    3. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 6 days ago

      wow, you can't say sh it or here any more?!

      Anyway..... i was going to say Bentekkers is gonna tear sh it up!

    4. HamezMace
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 6 days ago

      Only problem with Benteke is that is plays for Villa, there most creative midfielder is Tom cleverly

  29. CelticBhoy1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 6 days ago

    Foster
    Baines Azp Naylor
    Downing Sanchez Yaya(vc) Haz
    Austin(c) Costa Kane

    Subs: Siggy Hutton Yun

    Good to go?

  30. Rhinos
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 6 days ago

    Is it worh a hit to get Hart? Have Heaton Gilks as my keepers, seems a but rude to get scared this close to wildcard but city and newcastle away isnt going to end well is it

    1. gruffyboy
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 6 days ago

      Nope - I always think it's a waste to get a keeper from a big team; they're only ever going to get 6/7 points, whereas the defenders have attacking opportunities also...
