FFS Cup

The Fantasy Football Scout Cups Round-Up

Congratulations go to Gribude , who is the latest winner of the Fantasy Football Scout Cup after defeating Woeisme by the narrowest of margins in the final Gameweek of the season. Both Fantasy managers fielded eight identical players – David De Gea, Laurent Koscielny, Scott Dann, Juan Mata, Christian Eriksen, Daniel Sturridge, Luis Suarez and Sergio Aguero – and with the Uruguayan also handed the armband by each of our finalists, it went right down to the wire:

Ultimately, then, it came down to just three players to make the difference. Gribude opted for City pair Pablo Zabaleta and Samir Nasri along with Liverpool’s Raheem Sterling, whilst Woeisme plumped for Etihad pair Vincent Kompany and Yaya Toure, in addition to Hull’s Tom Huddlestone. That trio helped Gribude to a 57-56 triumph and elevated him to 1,529 overall, whilst his opponent finished on a respectable rank around the 22k-mark.

As mentioned in our initial entry article, Gribude – who succeeds Tdubb05 as the new champion – now receives £100 worth of bets and a £100 Amazon voucher as the winner of the Fantasy Football Scout Cup. Woeisme, as runner-up, is awarded £50 worth of free bets and a £50 Amazon voucher.

In the third v fourth place play-off, 1nozza eased past xildor by 54 points to 40, after the latter opted for an eight-point hit in the final round of fixtures. 1nozza will now receive £50 worth of free bets and a £25 Amazon Voucher.

Also a reminder that Trigg, is the new FFS Members Cup champion after seeing off the challenge of Sandgrounder by 69 point to 61 points in Gameweek 37. Trigg replaces Acquafresca as the new champion and will be determined to make a staunch defence when the competition returns in the new season.

            15th July last year. World Cup finishes on 13th July, so it may be a few days later this time. Usually shortly after the other fantasy football games have launched - leaving the best one till last!

      True - but if you had been forced to watch Collins, as I was, it would have nourished your faith in a Claret and Blue God!!!

        Poyet has confirmed he is staying at Sunderland. Would Sherwood go from Spurs to West Ham?

        This seems to be a common attitude amongst West Ham fans it seems. Grateful to Sam for getting them back into the PL, keeping them there and bringing stability but being disheartened by the football served up.

    For anyone interested, there in a stat on the fifa website for deliveries into the penalty area and it has nothing to do with crosses or corners. The stats from the 2010 world cup are, xavi with 24, forlan with 17, ozil with 16 and then iniesta, mueller and maicon the other noteable names above 10. Considering its 1 point for every 2 deliveries xavi could have got a maximum of 12 extra points which is not unrealistic over 7 ganes.At least fifa seem to have got this one right.

      I told you so. A thousand times.

      I even tried to explain, at some point, that it means bringing the ball in the box so that it is on team's own player. Dribbling it in there is good. Passing in there is good. Putting in 10 crosses headed away by defenders is not. That's how it was last time. What I saw, there was no confusion.

              But surely the best players are paid more? I mean Wayne is as good as Messi obviously 😉

              Well I think having a few tree trunks can only improve team morale!!!

              Realistically I agree with you, I think I'd possibly factor in international form in recent competitions. Nasri as an example, quite poor for the French team. Jo for Brazil is the opposite, not great at club level but tends to be quite good internationally. Podolski is somewhat similar (not to say he isn't good but he seems to play better for Germany).

      So Rvp, Suarez and hmmmm, it would have to be Aguero.

          I'd go Suarez and Aguero up front with a 6-7mil bargain striker

          Probably Hazard as my main midfielder with a 9-9.5 GK combo and a cheap defence (one 5.0-5.5 defender and the rest rotatable cheapies). Use the rest of the cash in midfield with a 4.5 filler with potential.

            More tongue in cheek than anything.

            I have, I've expected more. He has age on his side, he looks to potentially have the makings of an intelligent CB but the last thing Pool need is signing another CB with potential. He has made mistakes this season and he has been caught sometimes. If they keep Agger and Skrtel that is perfectly fine, they need to look at the flanks and the team set up but Agger is an anchor in the back-line.

            Now if Caulker was to be a bench player with Agger and Skrtel playing and Sakho on the bench too that is more acceptable in one sense but in the other sense Caulker needs regular game time if he is going to push on. So then the question is, is he an Agger replacement? If he is then I don't think it's a wise move. I was right about Sakho and my gut tells me they need to be very careful here.

              And I suppose a bit of this is guided by Pool's expectations. If they really have consistent top 4 and PL challenging aspirations.... I don't know I just think they need to be careful.

                  Skrtel is appalling without a strong guide in Agger. He's far too nervous with Sakho there. I'd like Skrtel replaced but we've seen that for some reason he is in favour (I am not sure why). I think this is what is driving my concern, Agger seems to be the one on the fringe when he is by far the best CB at Pool.

                  As for Caulker, I had higher expectations of him but as always I am open to studying him again when I get a chance. I've watched him a few times this season, unfortunately a few mistakes were made but I didn't think him awful. Just has yet to meet my (admittedly high) expectations of him.

      What about that Burnley wing back that got all the assists last season? Can't remember his name but meant to be the new Baines? 1st name in my defence if he's 4.5.

      Will be interesting to see the defenders prices next year. They were a bit underpriced this year so we could see Terry up at 7m, Baines 8m, Dann 5m, Trippier 4.5 or even 5, Zabaleta 7m.
      Might get some cheaper mids though.
