FFS Cup

FFS Cups – Entry Now Open

Fantasy Football Scout are delighted to announce our Fantasy Premier League Cup competitions.

We are launching our 15th open-to-all tournament, along with an eighth competition for Members. Both tournaments have £300 in prizes on offer.

Sign-up for the open tournament can be found here.

Members can sign up to both tournaments, via entry forms here and here.

The roll call of former cup winners looks like this: donnellyc, Jonty, Gribude, Goonerdave, Ninja_Fit_Saints, sleeping master, Mch, Wild Rover, Tdubb05 , CMIFLFC, Mark, Leon Harris, A Manager Has No Name and our reigning champion, Sleepysi.

As former winners, those listed will gain a bye to the first round of the tournament should they enter with the same username.

In our Members Cup, our winners list is as follows:

Waltzingmatildas, Fuzzy Dunlop, Kippax Kickers Acquafresca, Trigg Ola Svanheld and the current champion, Malaikat Jahad.

Again, those listed above will gain a bye to the first round proper of the Members Cup should they enter with the username listed.

If you’re new to our cup competitions, read on for an FAQ, offering all the details.

How do the Cup Competitions Work?

The FFS Cup is very similar to the Fantasy Premier League’s own Fantasy Cup game.

Entrants who qualify for the first round will be randomly drawn against each other and the winner of the tie is whoever has the highest score from that Gameweek, minus points spent on transfers (like in the original game and in head-to-head scores).

In the event of a tie, the manager highest in the overall FPL rankings after the tie will progress.

When do they start?

The qualifying round for the Fantasy Football Scout Cup will take place in Gameweek 15, with the first round poper running in Gameweek 16.

Fantasy managers can enter their teams from now right up to 10.30am on Monday December 4, when we’ll stop entries and make the first round draws shortly after.

The qualifying round for the Members Cup will take place week later in Gameweek 16, with the first round running in Gameweek 17.

Fantasy managers can enter their teams from now right up to 10.30am on Monday December 11, when we’ll stop entries and make the first round draws shortly after.

Previous winners must enter with the same usernames listed above to gain their bye.

How do I enter?

Enter the open-to-all FFS Cup via the entry form here.

Enter the FFS Members Cup via the entry form here. This form is only visible to Members and you will need to log into the Members’ area to view the form.

You will be sent a confirmation email to verify your entry and you’ll be asked to confirm your FPL team id at the point of entry – please be sure to click the link to verify that your team is correct before confirming. If you FPL team is incorrectly entered, we cannot amend this at a later date.

To check that you’re entered correctly, please scan the list of entries.

The open-to-all FFS Cup list is here.

The Members FFS Cup list is here.

How do I find my FPL team Id?

Your FPL Id is your unique Id for your FPL team. This is found via your Gameweek History page – the link to which is found in the right hand menu under your FPL team strip. When you visit your Gameweek History you will see a number in the URL (as opposed to the XXX below).

https://fantasy.premierleague.com/a/entry/XXX/history

Place this 1-7 digit number, or your Gameweek History URL, in the FPL id field on the entry form.

When will I find out if I’ve qualified?

Results from the Fantasy Football Scout Cup qualifying round will be published shortly after December 4 and then weekly, after the completion of each Gameweek, from that point on.

Results from the Members Cup qualifying round will be published shortly after December 11 and then weekly, after the completion of each Gameweek, from that point on.

Do I have to enter if I’m previous winner?

Yes, because your FPL team ID will have changed so we will need to record your entry again. A a previous winner, you will be given a bye to the first round proper.

Do I need to be registered with Fantasy Football Scout?

We ask you to supply a FFScout username so we can feature you, as a member of our community, in any articles associated with the tournament.

Ideally, you will already have a username with us, but this is not essential to enter.

You must, however, supply a username for the purpose of the tournament so you can be identified in articles.

You must not change this username throughout the course of the tournament. Should you do so without permission, should you enter multiple teams, or if your FFS account comes under moderation for any reason, we reserve the right to remove you from a tournament at any stage.

    Richarlison or Zaha if I have RLC?

    1. thedarkhorse
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Richarlison - looks great value to me

    2. Teror
      • 9 Years

      Richarlison.

    3. Fernando Torres

  4. thedarkhorse
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Have a bit of a dilemma over defence:

    Alonso Mariappa Jones(inj) Lascalles(inj) Moreno (rotation)

    Should I (having 0 ITB, and 0 FT):

    a) just see how things pan out and hope either Lascalles or Moreno play this week so that I can get 3 players out
    b) replace jones with daniels (considering tricky fixtures coming up for united)
    c) find someone to replace Moreno

    Thanks!

    1. Oddjobleff
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      A. Moreno only missed two all year.

  5. liiusions
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Fabi Elliot
    Kolasnic Moreno Jones Daniels Mee
    Salah Hazard Sane Richarlison RLC
    Kane Morata Wilson

    1.0m short of that team, best way to save it? Sterling over Sane is the obvious one but I want Sane 🙁

    1. WVA
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Keep Sane for sure, I'd just downgrade Kola, don't like the Moreno and Jones picks

    2. lilmessipran
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Just do wilson to Niasse, play RLC or 4th defender till he is back

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        This

  6. Fernando Torres
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    A) Hazard + Otamendi/Vertongen
    B) Sane + Azpi

    I have Morata.

  7. Red Star Toro
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Cedric -> Daniels for free?

    1. Matt Sk
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      yes

    2. dbeck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      100%

  8. mcsteely

    Sell Sterling or Silva for Pogba?

    1. WVA
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Sterling clearly

  9. Speédy

    1. mcsteely
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Speroni

    2. Speédy

      1. mad_beer ✅
        • 9 Years

  12. thaiunderdog

    draft league question

    D.Gray ( or Sigurdsson ?

    1. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Siggy.

  13. Jässi
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Stones to whom? 1.0 ITB, 1 FT.

    1. Siva Mohan
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Azpi/Ota/Daniels

      1. GAMBIT
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Kolasinac is something of a decent pick too

        1. Podge
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          That home form 😯

    2. Rinseboy
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Azpi

  14. Siva Mohan
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Fab or Elliot?

  15. Podge
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Zaha and richarlison or Hazard and RLC?

    1. Siva Mohan
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Hazard

      1. Siva Mohan
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        and RLC

        1. Podge
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          That’s what I was thinking

  16. Saka Rice
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    what do i do this gameweek? I have jones and aguero, i want to have hazard and morata in for next week.

    A) Hazard for -4
    B) Aguero-> Morata
    C) Jones-> cheaper defender and sub in morata and hazard in next week

    1. Podge
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      C probably

  17. GAMBIT
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Elliot, Speroni
    Azpi, Jones*, Ward, Simpson, Hunemeier
    Salah, Sterling*, Fabregas, Richarlison, Carroll*
    Kane, Aguero*, Firmino

    1FT, 0.2itb

    I'm honestly considering getting rid of all the *'s for a -12 and having no more issues until Kane blanks against WBA

  18. Rinseboy
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Bench look ok for this week? Would you swap anyone around?

    Elliott
    Ottamendi Azpi Ward
    Sane Salah RLC Surman
    Moratta Kane Lukaku

    Speroni Gross Francis 3.9

    Thanks!

    1. GAMBIT
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      I'd play Gross instead of Surman

      1. Bald Eagle
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        This.

    2. La Gazzetta
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      I'm playing Surman over Gross too. He played quite deep against Arsenal and I feel the same tactics will be used this weekend

  19. McNulty
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Best 4.6m defender?

    Current defence is Elliot, Speroni, Alonso, Otamendi,, Duffy, Ward and Jones who I am going to sell.

    1. Niemi
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Defence is fine, don't waste a FT

      1. McNulty
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        I have two frees and have to use one. Not sure I want to make an attacking change either. Team is:

        Speroni (Elliot)
        Alonso, Otamendi, Jones* (Ward, Duffy)
        Salah, Richarlison, Choupu-Moting, RLC (Gross)
        Kane, Lukaku, Jesus

        So I have to make a defensive change really.

    2. kysersosa
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Save the transfer but Otamendi for Kiko for Dec

  20. Niemi
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Thoughts on Dann at 4.7? Palace look tighter recently when looking at stats, big goal threat and good fixtures coming up.

  21. FC Hakkebøf
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    I have just registred for the cup, but cant find my name on the list. Pretty sure I did everything. How quickly does it update?

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Scratch that. Just found it

  22. masoud123
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Shame this cup clashes with the premierleague cup game.. Would have been better if it started later at like GW 24ish

    Oh well

    1. Podge
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      You’ll still be in both gw 24 😉

      1. masoud123
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Be amazed if I am, Ive entered the sky sports one too but thats not as good. Truth is I get bored of FF if there is no cup to it or LMS or whatever. I need the competitive nature of it where I feel the need to pit myself against an opponent every week

  23. kysersosa
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Anyone thinking of tripping up on Chelsea players for December?

    1. kysersosa
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      trippling

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      If Christensen looks nailed, yes

      1. kysersosa
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Yep, but I just don't think for Dec you can say he's nailed, unless Luiz comes out and says he's unhappy/wants to leave in Jan. You thinking Mata and Haz as our other two?

        1. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Courtois and Morata

          No vacancy in midfield atm

    3. Podge
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Yep

      1. kysersosa
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Mate, Haz and Azp?

        1. Podge
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Yup

          1. kysersosa
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 5 months ago

            I like it, just one question..... do you also have Kane? Juggling keeping him against trippling up on chelsea.

  24. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    If both are fit would you rather have Kiko or Yedlin for this week?

    1. kysersosa
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Kiko - especially if these is a transfer question rather than a 'who to sub' question.

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Yedlin, always homie

  25. The Albatross
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Play:

    a) Gross (mun)

    b) Calvert Lewin (sou)

    thanks

  26. JoeSoap
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Any thoughts on best use of a FT (or two 1.3 in bank)?

    Thinking this might be opportunity to change Mariappa, albeit he started last week. Could do Mustafi though not overly keen.

    Elliot
    Daniels, Ward, Maguire,
    Hazard, Salah, Richarl, RLC
    Kane, Jesus, Vardy
    Fab, Duffy, Mariappa, Gross

    1. Oddjobleff
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      My first thoughts are get rid of Vardy and get a City mid. Wilson and Sane in for Vardy and Rich/Gross?

      1. JoeSoap
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks. Them moves are on the radar. Thought I would give Vardy another chance before ditching. Bit wary of a cheap third striker as I done that last year and wasn't very successful.

  27. Oddjobleff
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Aguero, Jones and Abraham to Morata, Alonso and DCL for -8? DCL woud rotate with RLC depending on fixture.

    Could potentially have none of those 3 playing this week. Did a -12 on defence last week for a +25 ish swing due to no-shows.

    1. JoeSoap
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Not a fan of hits, mainly because they generally don't work for me. Like Morato and Alonso though the latter needs to be scoring heavier to justify price. As I said above I don't like a cheap third striker, mainly because last year it resulted in 2 points mostly for me.

  28. 007 [RoboKlopp]
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Hi, please help me choose C from this list:
    Sane, Hazard, Salah, Richarlison
    Morata, Kun/Lukaku (-4)
    Thanks.

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Sane.. if your bold then Aguero with Sane (VC)..

      Really tough call. Lukaku -4 could also pay up.

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Depends on your future plans.. do you wanna keep.Kaku long term?

  29. FC Hakkebøf
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Which two players out of this lot should I start this gw? Has to be at least one defender...

    A) Gomez
    B) Mee
    C) Cameron
    D) RLC
    E) TC

    Leaning towards RLC and Gomez

    1. Oddjobleff
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Possibly B and D. I can imagine Burnley frustrating Arsenal more than Liverpool keeping Chelsea out.

    2. Your Mum's Athletic
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      B and D

    3. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      According to the betting sites, liverpool is more likely to keep a cs than burnley.. Pool has also been great at home defensively this season

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        That being said Ben Mee is prolly a bigger attacking threat..

  30. machickenz
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Hey lads. Would love any input in making this team better. Had a terrible week. Cheers!

    Gomes Elliot
    Otamendi Monreal Naughton Clark Mbemba
    Eriksen Sterling Choupo Doucoure Cork
    Kane Morata Lukaku

    2 FT. 0.3 ITB

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      To much firepower up top.. not sure what to do this week though.. :/.
