FFS Cup

FFS Paddy Power Cup XI and Members Cup V – First Round Draw

This afternoon we roll out the first round draws of the Fantasy Football Scout Cup XI, as sponsored by Paddy Power, as well as the fifth Fantasy Football Scout Members Cup.

In the Fantasy Football Scout Cup XI the cut off for qualification was 81 points,  with rank deciding entry for those who scored exactly that tally in Gameweek 28. The rankings cut off was 150,163rd place.

One of the most eye catching ties in this open entry tournament is former champion Wild Rover’s match up against our team news man Demi.

Among our other cup winners Gribude will take on Snotgrass, reigning champion CMIFLFC faces Toon_army_htl, Goonerdave squares up to Blue Mooners, former champ MCH takes on Aliminator and Jonty (that’s me) faces Big Dolls.

Chris8910 is among those hoping to claim a high profile scalp, when he takes on Mark, whose Scoutcast co-host Granville sadly failed to qualify. Powerslice will be hoping Paul slips up to see him through to the next round.

Other notable community matchups include Hvt’s clash with 1966 was a great year.

In the Members Cup V, the cut off for qualification was also 81 points. As with the Paddy Power Cup, rank is the decider for those who matched this cut off score in Gameweek 28. The ranking cut off point for this competition was 2,515th.

Former winner Trigg faces the toughest task among our former champions as he squares up to world number one Dufflinks. Another former winner Fuzzy Dunlop also faces a familiar name, when he takes on Jafooli.

Shiregeriatric has the task of attempting to oust Mark from the Members Cup, while Dynamic takes on Paul.

Other familiar names from our community facing up to each other include Innsie’s match up with Shatner’s Bassoon and Torresmagic’s first round tangle with Shipstontrev.

The full draw for the Fantasy Football Scout Cup XI can be found here, while the draw for the Members Scout V 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.

      I'm in the top 1k, still going with Kane captain

      1. Tony Yeboah
        • 10 Years

        nice

        1. Sunny 😎
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Let's hope he gets a hatty for the sake of both of us

  3. Cojiro

    Most likely to score/ BAPS magnet for WBA defence?

    1. Ziegler1988
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      They're all anti baps magnets, but Lescott or Cawson are the most likely to score from a corner

    2. Don Van Vliet
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Lescott or Wisdom for BAPS, although Wisdom hasn't featured for some weeks now. Dawson probably edging it on the goal front.
      Baird for a punt (if he starts), but Lescott safest all round.

    3. Cojiro
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Thanks guys, good points, well made

      A+C.
      B rarely gets 90 mins it seems

      1. Villan
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        In the last 5 games he's got 90 4/5??

        1. Cojiro

    Thanks!

    1. Lucy.
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Bellerin and PVA.

      1. Wiz
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        hmm would you double with Panti or play Dawson ?

        1. Lucy.
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I'd do the double but I'm a firm believer in the idea that defensive rotation decisions should be isolated from GKs. You do whichever is likely to score most.

          1. Wiz
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            So you don't reckon West Brom will keep a CS ? 😕

            1. Lucy.
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              I believe Sunderland are more likely.

              1. Wiz
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                Bookmarked 😆

                1. Lucy.
                  • 10 Years
                  9 years, 1 month ago

                  Er why? I can have a belief, or a difference of opinion, I've given you no guarantees.

                  1. Lucy.
                    • 10 Years
                    9 years, 1 month ago

                    My belief is also backed up by the bookies.

                    1. Wiz
                      • 10 Years
                      9 years, 1 month ago

                      JK chill out. Cheers btw

            • 12 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Agree. They are isolated.

  8. Pedram
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Any news on Wolly ?

  9. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 14 Years

    Uh oh!

    Not liking BIB theory this week....

    http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/20150313/arsenal-train-ahead-of-west-ham-match

    Bellerin Gibbs and Cazorla benched?
    Theo and Chambers in?!

    1. Lucy.
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Aaaah rubbish.

    2. Shifty
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      😯

    3. Ziegler1988
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Doesn't work for us

    4. athreya
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Gibbs will play as Monreal will play against Monaco.

      Not sure about Bellerin. Cazorla due a rest but depends on whether Rosicky is fit.

    5. Camp No No
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Where did you see Bellerin wearing a bench-BIB?

      1. Worzel Gummidge
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Probably made an assumption Chambers would play instead of him as he is in a playing BIB, apparantly. I could see Chambers as CB but not RB.

    6. CaptHun Sensible
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      currently playing

      Foster

      Bertrand, Koscielny, Rose

      Alexis, Hazard, Coutinho, Puncheon

      Aguero(c), Kane, Austin.

      subs are Eriksen, Ashley williams and Hutton.

      Is the bench the right place for Eriksen?

    7. Azzy
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I love Cups. So for the first time ever I bought membership last week just for the Cups. And then I fail to make both of them. Great lol 🙁

      1. Lucy.
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Whereas I qualified for both and completely missed the boat 😀

      2. Wiz
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Ask for a refund

        1. Lucy.
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Er why? It's not FFS fault that he didn't qualify.

          1. Wiz
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Er sarcasm

            1. Piggs Boson
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Sarcasm translates extremely well in text.

              1. Wilshere Knowledge
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                No it doesn't. 😉

    8. Bolt-on
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Captain aguero or giroud?

      1. Sunny 😎
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Giroud

    9. Shifty
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Giroud(c) over Aguero? 4 goals 2 assists in last 4 games against WHU 😯

      talk me out of it...

      1. Lucy.
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Depends. Are you chasing?

        1. Shifty
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          leading my ML. Giroud abit of a differential at the moment.

          Prob means Aguero(c) then 😆

          1. Lucy.
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Yup. Has to be Kun. 😛

          2. Ser Football 42
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            If you are leading go Aguero

      2. Sunny 😎
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Go for it

      3. Ziegler1988
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I don't see us hammering West Ham and Giroud might come off early with Tuesday in mind (same issues with Aguero). Giroud just isn't as explosive as Aguero (two double digit hauls vs. four) so it's risky if you're defending a lead.

        1. Shifty
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          logical. thanks, shouldn't try to be too clever at this stage.

      Panti (Heaton)
      Ivan, Bellerin, Dawson (Bertrand, Baird)
      Hazard, Sanchez, Silva, Eriksen (Boyd)
      Kun, Kane, Austin
      1Ft, 0.6 itb

      Intent is to hold. Am I gtg?

      1. Wiz
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Yep

        1. walkman666

    11. The Generalator
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Wow Simon is top of the league with 30 pts clear and a wildcard still to play!
      Doubt none of us will catch him now, must be odds-on favourite to win this year?? Strong looking team

      1. Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I'm 246pts behind and still hopeful.

      2. Sunny 😎
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Depends on how he plays his WC and how the others in top 50 play theirs

    12. athreya
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      My defence is Terry/Bellerin/Moreno/Naughton/Cameron.

      Assuming Cameron isn't playing who do I play out of Moreno and Naughton as my 3rd defender?

      Real dilemma as Swansea at home are decent and Moreno has the potential for an assist.

      1. Sunny 😎
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Moreno

        1. athreya
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Thanks, thats how I have lined up currently.

      2. Wiz
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Moreno

      3. Lucy.
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Moreno.

      4. athreya
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Thats pretty conclusive. Thanks all.

      9 years, 1 month ago

      Right I think this is me this week

      Panti

      Kos, Terry, Lescott

      Sanchez, Hazard, Moses, Eriksen

      Kun (c), Kane, Austin

      Mannone, Mane, Wollschied, Naughton

      Transfer will be Bertrand to Terry

      1. Lucy.
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Looks good to me. Good luck JK! 🙂

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

          Did debate selling Moses over Berty tbh

      2. Piggs Boson
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Looks good JK 🙂

        I see we both have no keeper for the blank!

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

          I have a wc, I'll probably sell Mannone for GW33 then just get him back

      3. Shifty
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Looks good.

        Terry over Ivan? Or cash issue.

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

          Cash issue, if it wasn't I;d get Ivan for sure

          1. Shifty
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Terry isn't too shabby either. I reckon he will outscore Ivanovic, just because that's how the world works.

    14. Ser Football 42
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Hart
      Alderweireld. Cresswell. Ivan
      Sterling. Ozil. Hazard. Fab. Sinclair
      Aguero(c). Kane

      Kelly. Upson. Barnes

      0FT(Fab to silva next GW)

      Good to go?

      1. athreya
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Bench Cresswell maybe.

      2. Sunny 😎
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Play Barnes over Sinclair imo

      3. Shifty
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Would play Kelly over Creswell

    15. Gooner Kebab
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Play Naughton or Clyne?

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Clyne imo.

      2. Sunny 😎
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Clyne

      3. A-VB
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Naughton

        Reason : Liverpool has blanked against Blackburn Rovers at home, so Swansea returning with a CS is a more than better bet and add to that Naughton's attacking impact. Chelsea will score, no matter what.

        1. Jax

          2. A-VB
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Not that sure about it.

      4. Nesvy
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I have the same dilemma 🙂

        Naughton 😉

      5. Gooner Kebab
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        It'll be a farce if Wolly comes on and i have 2 two lined up.

      do you guys think pva starts?

      1. Jax
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        hope so

      2. Piggs Boson
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        It's anyone's guess. It puts owners in a sticky situation.

        Bench and Kane should never be used together.
        Bench Moses.

      Don't you members feel a bit hard done by the extra info this site gives out? My girlfriend is playing her first season and is ranked 2000 in the world. All she does is read the articles and read the comments made by members.

      P.S. Its embarrassing to see you struggle for 6 seasons and a girl come and master the game in her first season. 😀

        I've done similarly. My first season of taking it seriously and using this website and I'm just outside 2000 😀

      Clichy should start tomorrow shouldn't he?
      Given that he's suspended for Barca.

      What's the news on skrtel and wollscheid? Any chance of them starting?

      Given my defence is:

      Pantilimon
      Bertrand Fonte Jones Wollscheid Lescott

      is doing Jones>Dawson unreasonable? I'd start him this week and WBA rotate well with Southampton. Down the line I could do Lescott>Naughton as well.
