FFS Cup

Fantasy Football Scout Cups – First Round Draws

The waiting is finally over and we are pleased to roll out the first round draws for the Fantasy Football Scout Cup XII as well as our Members Cup VI. For those who submitted their teams for the Gameweek 22 qualifying round, read on to discover if you made the cut as we assess some of the standout match ups to take place in the first rounds during Gameweek 23.

The cut off score in the Fantasy Football Scout Cup was 68 points, which was an impressive 22 points above the overall Gameweek 22 average. With an overall placing of 323,252 ComeonSpurs is the lowest-ranked player with that score to make the cut.

The high qualifying score means some high-flying Fantasy managers fell by the wayside. This includes CTreacy, the current leader of the FFScout league and 11th placed in the overall ranking, who missed the cut by three points.

Luckily for reigning champion Mark, who scored 55 points in Gameweek 22, all former winners get a bye into the first round. He faces a tough tie against The Quarrymen, who is ranked 103,471 places above him.

Amongst our other former winners Gribude takes on Wheato, mch faces DK5, donnellyc squares up to plummo, Jonty (that’s me) has an encounter with ftnc, while CMIFLFC has a match up with Edmond.

Another former winner, sleepingmaster, will take on community regular Parm.

Meanwhile, Tdubb05 faces Martinp, Wild Rover meets Keith Renouard and Gooner Dave will be hoping his experience of winning the competition will see off Hazardous Blue. Finally among our winners, Ninja Fit Saints takes on Hellraisers.

Other key ties include Sanoj85’s contest against former FPL champion Tom Fenley, while garpheet is another to draw a short straw as he prepares to do battle with Simon March (Dufflinks), the reigning FPL champion.

The highest ranked qualifier is Lexon39, who is 49 in the world and progressed with a score of 79. He faces The dude – Brighton fan in round one.

The full first round draw of the Fantasy Football Scout Cup can be found here.

The cut off score in the Members Cup was also 68. Those with more than that score or with 68 and a rank below 84,590 progress to round one.

With a rank of 133, Albana City is the highest placed manager in the competition and faces Carlton Palmer in round one.

Amongst our former winners Acquafresca takes on Genovoze, while Trigg meets Jimgranty.

Other notable encounters in the Members Cup include Tom Fenley’s clash with community regular S Kuqi, while I face another notable community member Bowstring the Carp.

The Members Cup qualifying round’s highest scorer Facer, who notched an impressive 102 points in Gameweek 22, takes on Somewhatpleasing.

      Great first post 😉

  2. Your Mum's Athletic

    How on earth did 66 points not make it, rubbish

    1. J0E

      • Has Moderation Rights

      Toughest cup in fantasy football. more than 20 pts above average needed just to qualify.

      1. Your Mum's Athletic
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        crazy stuff, good luck

        Insanity that more than 20pts above average doesn't even qualify. Considering that wiped out even the leader of the FFS league, this seems way too high. How was it worked out? FPL already has a pretty good way of calculating a cutoff, why not use something similar? 32 points from Aguero alone and couldn't make 68.

    2. Licious Lizard
      • 11 Years

      I know! 67 here haha

      Hmmm....I know I entered the non-members Cup, scored high enough last week to qualify, but don't see my name on the list...any idea what happened?

  5. Lingardium Leviosa.
    • 9 Years

    Did I make it? I got 69

    1. J0E
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      If you got above 68 then yes.

      1. Lingardium Leviosa.
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        But I can't find my name!

        1. Lingardium Leviosa.
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Ah I was looking at the members draw.

          1. John t penguin

            I can be your guide dog round this article for small fee

    2. Your Mum's Athletic
      • 12 Years

      read the article?

  6. John t penguin

    323253 rank
    68 points

    now that's unlucky

    1. Jaffalicious! #SomosCubanos
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Missed out on rank too for the Member's Cup! 🙁

  7. Parm
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Up against two blokes in the top 10k. Luck of the draw I guess, right?

  8. Eden Hazardous
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    2048 next year?

    1. John t penguin
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      I make 2017

  9. Hakchak
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Wow so basically if you had aguero you made it and if you didn't you couldn't get through - perfect for FFS! haha

    1. John t penguin
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      well not really
      loads of aguero owners out

      1. Hakchak
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        But if you didn't have aguero C there was basically no chance of making it through...

        Not enough other heavy hitters performed sans Kane

        1. John t penguin
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          maybe couple of kane captains with a couple of decent mids got through or daniels

          1. Hakchak
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            You would have needed Kane Eriksen double up and a fantastic Williams Daniels D

            1. John t penguin
              • 9 Years
              8 years, 3 months ago

              a kane cap, wij and daniels/williams would have you almost there, with just one other scorer needed

            2. Cradders
              • 9 Years
              8 years, 3 months ago

              I missed out by 2 points with Kane Eriksen and Williams, Mahrez captain cost me

              1. krs_sven
                • 11 Years
                8 years, 3 months ago

                Missed out by 5 with Aguero and Kane. Cutoff just too high I think, I'd like to know how it was worked out...

    2. Lingardium Leviosa.
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      I agree, qualification basically came down to one un/lucky gameweek. Loads of people with horrible ranks are in but what the hell I'm paired with a guy ranked 300k so happy days! 😀

      1. Annie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        you're hardly lighting the place up 😉

    3. TwiggsJameson
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      No. I only had 66 with Aguero(c). Shouldn't have sold Smalling.....

    4. Laurel and Vardy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      This! I ran Agueroless and got a decent 64pts score, moving me up to 16k OR, but not good enough for FFS cup......not happy, but nothing can be done. Good luck to all participants!

    5. Hakchak
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      I suppose the strategy would have been to actually get aguero in given all the FFS community would have C him to at least give you a chance of qualifying... hindsight!

  10. Arjun46
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    is rooney for giroud too much of a risk?

  11. Van der Faart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    I scored 67. That's devastating.

    1. Lingardium Leviosa.
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Some scored 68. Cry me a river 😛

    2. Pasqualinho
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      So did I, but I'm already over my mild disappointment. Recently we've always need a great score to get into R1.

  12. meerlight
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Wow, I'm a litlle shocked not to have qualified. congrats to those who did. #sh.theads

    1. Christina.
      • 14 Years

      i'm not shocked.

  13. SAY SOMETHING SIGNIFICANT
    • 8 Years

    Both my opponents are about 30k places behind me. Was hoping for a big hitter tbh.

    Jafooli meets Sweatpea in the tie of the round (non members) 🙂

  15. John t penguin

    there must be loads of people who lurk around just waiting to enter these tournaments.
    cant wait for opening ceremony parade to see who they are

    1. Pasqualinho
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      A regular poster one would be good. I think only once have I been up against anyone who contributes to any discussion.

      1. Your Mum's Athletic
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Or qualifying is over 2 weeks

    I did the double 🙂

    I didn't qualify for the FPL Cup & FFS Cup

    65 points wasn't even close

  18. Jaffalicious! #SomosCubanos

    I blame Ighalo!

    1. Lingardium Leviosa.
      • 9 Years

      No way, he's done enough damage to my OR this season.

    Frisking time - Who’s going to be on the weak list then?

    Stoke, Southampton, Leicester, Sunderland and Chelsea?

  21. Lizard Lips
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Sanchez fit to start, anyone thinking of doing KDB > Alexis?

    1. Pasqualinho
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Fit to play - not necessarily fit to start. I think it's prudent to keep a watching brief first.

    2. blue book
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Thinking, but not doing. Need to see him actually start first. Sticking with KDB this week.

    3. Jaffalicious! #SomosCubanos
      • 10 Years

      Yep!

    4. Lizard Lips
      • 11 Years

      Sanchez doesn't do the bench does he. He'll start.
