FFS Cups – First and Second Round Draws

On the day that the Fantasy Premier League cup go underway, we can now reveal who made it through to the second round of our own Fantasy Football Scout Cup, while also revealing the qualifiers and first round draw for the Members tournament.

Members Cup, Round 1

Joining previous winner Malaikat jihad in Gameweek 17’s first round of our Members Cup are the 511 managers who hit the qualifying score threshold of 58; with a rank of at least 1,116 required for those who reached that score.

Our former champion is currently among the lowest placed competitors with a rank of 3,697,022, which makes him the underdog in his Round 1 clash with 70,999 ranked Drieet.

A further scan of the round one matches reveals that Mark and his 51,461 ranked side has an encounter with 618,607 placed Tacalabala, while Paul (ranked 592,890) has a far closer tie against Grumpy Camel (ranked 534,105) and similarly my 12,722 placed side will square up to Christobisto (ranked 31,961).

In total there are six top 1,000 ranked managers in the Members Cup, with 33 placed Heroes & Villains the highest. However, he will not have it easy in the first round as he takes on Fozilla28, who has a highly respectable rank of 11,932.

Of our remaining six former champions, Mark will take on 422,997 ranked m4rkyp in Gameweek 17’s round two draw, while I square up to Brucey99, and Sleepysi (44,471) faces 10,206 placed Wain’s Wonders.

Wild Rover (ranked 255,811) has a tough match with 1,432 placed AnytimeScorer as does 519,134 placed Ninja_Fit_Saints, who clashes with 5,475 ranked nrundle.

Finally, among our champions, 51,263 placed Gribude will fancy his chances against Maggits, who is 1,385,868th in the overall rankings.

    Which of the cheap Liverpool defenders (Gomez, Klavan or Robertson) is more nailed? Is Moreno -> cheap Liverpool defender worth a - 4? Duffy will play instead. Probably Duffy will get 1 Point and Liverpool a clean sheet. In this case a transfer would make sense.

    Thank you!

      Gomez

      He will get odd rotation due to busy schedule just like any other good player.

    2. FPL Virgin

      Not worth taking a hit for a cheap defender. I'd play Duffy.

    3. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Gomez.

  2. Shakshuka
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Thinking Moreno and Ramsey out... Kenney and Sterling best combo for 12.8?

    Fabianski
    Alonso Kola Ward
    Haz Salah Richa Ramsey* RLC
    Kane Vardy

    Elliot Niasse Moreno Naughton

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Looking at bringing those 2 in as well

    2. J âš’ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Yep

    3. Top 210 Club
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      No fears sterling saved for spurs? I know Sane on a yellow but sterling started many. Also Jesus coming off early maybe plays with Kun?
      No chance of me second guessing pep though.

  3. Pat Bonner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Slim pickings in defenders 4.5m and under. Any suggestions?

    1. alexmj
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Kenny, Masuaka

    2. That Was Easy!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Masuaka, Simpson, don't like Kenny as a pick.

    3. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Ogbonna. Start getting your DGW players.

      1. GE
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        This

      2. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Cheers. Moyes seems to have them set up with 11 behind the ball so could be a shout

  4. That Was Easy!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Why is no one talking about Martial? Pogba placeholder, great replacement for Rambo, on pen's.

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Nice fantasy island risk. Mourinho likes to take him off early but goals to minute is up there with the best

    2. GE
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Nailed? On pens?!

      1. That Was Easy!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Did I say nailed? And yes, it does appear he's on pen's.

    Interview with the best FPL manager out there at the moment:

    I got a lot of useful advice out of this.

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      I don't recall them asking my permission?

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        😆

    2. My Name Is Prince
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Did s/he say Kenny or Gomez?

    3. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years

      Thanks

    4. Rash
      • 6 Years

      Interesting thanks

  6. Prison Mike
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Best Moreno replacement?

    A) Kiko

    B) Kenny

    C) Gomez (rotation risk?)

    1. GE
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Ogbonna?

      1. Prison Mike
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Good shout!

  7. GE
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Lost on last page.

    1) Ramsey -> Son
    2) Ramsey and Moreno -> Sterling/Silva/Son and Ogbonna/Kenny (-4)

    If choosing 1) I will have 10 players playing if Mee or Morata warm the bench

    1. ljuta zena
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      1 with no risks. Who knows...

    2. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      2 for me

      1. GE
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Who would you transfer in?

    3. Shakshuka
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      In same situation, going B, no time to carry red flags when gws coming thick and fast.

      1. GE
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Who do you transfer in?

        1. Shakshuka
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Sterling and Kenny most likely, dgw`er always tempting though.

          1. GE
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            Thanks, understand 😉 can't decide between Son and Sterling though. Think I choose Ogbonna over Kenny

  8. arndff_
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Who to buy:

    (a) Kenny
    (b) Mariappa

    and why?

    1. FER FUSCH AKE
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      both horrible picks I'd consider ogbonna or kaba if I were you. Kenny out of those more nailed

      1. arndff_
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        You could be right... Thanks. FPL Virgin said Ogbonna too. Hmm........... May sign him.

    2. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      (C) Ogbonna.

      1. arndff_
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks!

      2. arndff_
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Hey, mate, Doosra wrote Masuaku is a better option. Collins is fit and Ogbonna may lose his place.

  11. Albert_Luque
    • 9 Years

    Yay or nay, Ramsey and Daniels to DSilva and Kenny for a -4?

  12. Mr-Inbetween
    • 12 Years

    Hennessey Elliot
    Otamendi Mustafi Daniels Mee Wimmer
    Hazard Salah Sterling Richarlison RLC

    Pope
    Kola Daniels Ward
    Hazard Salah Sterling Zaha
    Kane Morata Niasse

    Elliot RLC Duffy Clark

    Looking at these options:
    A) Daniels+Sterling->Holgate+Coutinho
    B) Daniels+Zaha->Smalling+Richarlison
    C) Daniels+Clark->Smalling+Holgate

  16. LaCazettio
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Shall I switch Sane for another mid? Perhaps Richarlison?

  17. gomez123
    • 10 Years

    1. LaCazettio
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      I’m saying Yes - Chelsea need the points and the win

    2. D0GS B0110XS FC
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

  18. FPLtfs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Fabianski
    Alonso, Otamendi, Jones, Ward
    Hazard, Salah, Richarlison, RLC
    Kane (c), Vardy
    Elliot, Chuopo-Moting, Daniels, Niasse

    2ft, 1.5 itb.

    Elliot and Daniels âž¡ Gomes and Masuaku? Good moves, or other suggestions?
    Just Elliot -> Gomes?

  19. frenchfries

    New post!

  20. gaurava1216
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Jones or Smalling? (for Daniels)

  21. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    want to do daniels + mbemba -> kiko + ogbonna.
    obviously both kiko and ogbonna are poor options this gw, so would bench. but rotation could be rife and might need the bench (mbemba and niasse!)

    so would you:

    A - save FT (Daniels on bench)
    B - bring in kiko
    C - bring in ogbonna
    D - something else

    cheers fellas

  22. Stevie B
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    A) Play Duffy. Will probably get one point.

    or

    B) Moreno -> Gomez for - 4. Liverpool will probably get a clean sheet. Moreno price will fall tonight and Gomez price will rise tonight.

    Thank you!

    1. Pumpkinhead
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      You'll come out to the same point total if your prediction is correct. Depends if you want to do pool to pool for their upcoming fixtures or not.

  23. Kun Tozser
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Smalling or Otamendi?

    1. ClutchingStraws
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      B

  24. doncastro
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    No pressing transfers needed this week. I'm currently playing Shaqiri away to Burnley and benching Doucoure.

    A) Doucoure > Zaha. Play Zaha and 1st sub Shaqiri
    B) Save transfer.

    1. Deli Alli OxenFree!
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Save TX!...Zaha is FPL Poison

  28. Deli Alli OxenFree!
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    My first FFS Cup and of course I would play TorresMagic in Round-1!...lol ...Even worse, we almost have the same team! except where i’ve stuck by my boy Dele Alli(despite his price freefall), he has Hazard(with Morata on the bench for CHE)!
    Looks like my first Cup is gonna be a short one!...lmao

  29. MrKlin of Norway

    Ouch, my draw in members cup looks hard, only glimmer of hope is the blood red and yellow statuses spreading in his current team...

    good luck to all
