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.

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.
