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.

The full first round draw can be found here.

Fantasy Football Scout, Round 2

Meanwhile, the first round of our open to all FPL cup took place in Gameweek 16 and saw two former winners, A manager has no name and donnellyc, depart.

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.

The highest ranked manager in the competition is 82nd placed Whats the mata, who saw off Ryssel in round one to set up a tie in the second round with Toby Lerone (35,204).

    Mbemba+ c. Wilson>>> kenny + calvert- lewin
    For -4
    Do it or no?

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

    Daniels + Niasse OUT
    Kenny + Firmino IN

    Yay or Nay?

  3. Weasel51

    Don't get the huge fuss over Otamendi, and I'm an owner.

    Man city look shocking at the back and he won't keep his recent goal scoring heroics up.

    Better value elsewhere imo.

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

      Shocking is an exaggeration. Defensive stats are great.

    2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      If you had him, the goals are great. If Not, it feels like chasing past points

  4. Sarri-ball
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Thoughts on Sterling to coutinho
    No city
    Double pool salah/coutinho

    Or sterling to kdb keep city cover

  5. The Alli Way
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Pope (Elliot)
    Mee Kiko Azpi (Daniels (Naughton))
    Hazard Sterling Salah RLC (C-Moting)
    Kane Morata Niasse

    A) Daniels > Kenny
    B) Daniels > Smalling
    C) Daniels > Kenny & C-Moting > Richarlison

    Thanks 🙂

  6. For Fuchs Sake
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Wilson to Wood and Daniels to Kabasele for -4?

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

    How nailed is Wilshere now ramsey is injured?

  8. Joey Barton and Friends
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Any reason why Jones won’t be back in the United team tomorrow?

    1. william prunier
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      He wasn't subbed on

      1. Joey Barton and Friends
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        You mean he could have played v City?

  9. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Repost:

    Should I sell Coutinho as he only played 12 minutes??
    If no then why?
    If yes then who should I get apart from Hazard and Salah(any price range)

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Rested so will start this week

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

      No. There are 3 matches in a week and Klopp rested him this week before the next 2. Players aren't really going to play every minute of every game unless maybe the odd CB.

    3. Dannyb
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      He won't be rested again.

  10. Chop1234
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Is mariappa nailed?

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

      Not as nailed as Kabasele but he's playing regularly.

      1. Ibracadabra
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        WAT next 4-5 fixtures as good as anyone's, so worth the risk for me, then I can turn him into a West Ham defender for their DGW.

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

          I've got double Watford D so you're preaching to the converted 🙂

    2. Ibracadabra
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Hope so. Will likely use my FT on Francis -> Mariappa and put him first on the bench in case Kiko misses out.

  11. ChristoBisto
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    I've got Jonty in the members cup!

    1. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Nice tie to pick up

      1. ChristoBisto
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        We are quite similar rank, he is a lot more famous than me.

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

      Please win 😉

      1. ChristoBisto
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        I'll try! Who do you think he captains?

        1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Kane

          1. ChristoBisto
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            Yeah totally, he is mr safe.

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

          Kane, 99.9%!

      2. ChristoBisto
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Could TC Kane to give me an edge... My competitive advantage are Coutinho and Azpi and Pope

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

          Coutinho(c) must be tempting.

          1. ChristoBisto
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            Just think Kane will score more, but yes Coutinho got a rest so could work. More of a gamble though and I have two other cup matches to consider too.

    3. ChristoBisto
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Gonna check out his team quickly...

  12. CrouchDown
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Sterling > Richarlison?

  13. Shake n Bake
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Do we have anymore news on Moreno's injury?

  14. Sandy Ravage
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Clean sheets will be rare over the xmas break, need to get DDG asap!

  15. FC Hakkebøf
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Im really worried about my defender situation... I currently own:

    Mustafi (red flag), Gomez (rotation risk), Mee (yellow flag), Cameron (rotation risk), Naughton (nailed) with 0.0 ITB and 1 ft.

    Should I do Mee to Tarkowski, Wat defender, Ogbonna or Kenny? (I have Pope) or should I save the ft and cross my fingers?

  16. Garfield1001
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Chances of Mee and Kiko playing tomorrow?

    1. william prunier
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Slim

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

        Has there been further news on Kiko?

    2. FPL Blow-In
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      I’d love to know own both also

  17. Vlad Tepes
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Richarlison to be rested right? Also looks like Morata will hit the bench and Ramsey injured. It doesnt look good for me.

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Nope

      1. Vlad Tepes
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Silva said that in presser and conte confirmed rotation. Morata have started all time so he will be benched. My guess Haz top

        1. The Polymath
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Nope. Some have interpreted Silva comments a different way.

          1. Vlad Tepes
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            I hope so I have no bench with Ramsey out..

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

      Are you a glass half full kind of guy?

      1. The Polymath
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Sounds like it. 🙂

    3. We Will Klopp you
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      The only thing certain there is Ramsey being injured, Richarlison is unlikely to be rested and Morata may be rested but it's hardly set in stone, especially after the loss to West Ham.

  18. Mr. Blonde
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Do we think Elliot to Adrian is worth a FT in advance of the DGW? Elliot falling tonight, can currently sell for 4.1

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      I did that, Mr. Blonde. 😀

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

      It's a good move if you're stuck in the middle 🙂

  19. dan_247
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Which cheaper Man U defenders do you think are nailed? Looking at bringing in for this gw...thanks

    1. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      None

    2. william prunier
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Smalling

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

      None. I'd get Jones if you can't wait until the next GW.

  20. Feed tha Sheep
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Have two Fts and WC what would you do?
    Pope Elliot
    Kolasinac Mee Dunk Daniels Marriappa
    Salah Sterling Ramsey Richarlison RLC
    Kane Morata Vardy

    Was thinking Ramsey & Vardy > Coutinho & DCL/Austin anything more obvious?

  21. GXNG
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Someone talk me out of doing Moreno/Lowton to Kenny/Tarkowski (-8)

    -Saving £0.4
    -Fancy both teams to keep a cs
    -Selling 2 injured players not much risk
    -Have to play Ake (mun) and Duffy (tot) otherwise

  22. FPL Blow-In
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Was planning on doing Chupo & Morata to Hazard & DCL. Considering I still have Mee & Kiko I’m fearing it though.

  23. DR0GBA
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Daniels out for Otamendi or Kenny?

    Cheers

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

      Why Kenny, out of interest?

      1. DR0GBA
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        cheap, decent fixtures, starting to keep cleansheets under Sam

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

          Teams rarely keep CS away from home in the prem though (besides Burnley!).

          1. DR0GBA
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            I suppose City are playing away also and Otamendi will be a lot easier to rotate with my other defenders

    2. n-doggg
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Ota obvs.

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

    I'm starting to lean towards Masuaku...

    1) Kenny - not too many good home fixtures in the next 7.... Maybe Big Sam can make them a bit tighter, maybe not... Coleman will eventually come back
    2) Gomez - Very much uncertainty on whether he starts or not, especially now that we head to the Christmas period, TAA will surely play perhaps even two games between now and 2018
    3) Watford - Great fixtures but I want Kiko who's not 100% fit yet

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

      Not Ogbonna?

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

        I prefer Masuaku at West Ham

    2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Totally agree with every sentence

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

      I think Gomez will play almost every game, either as CB or LB. Lovren is killing Liverpool's season.

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

    Maguire, Daniels > Otamendi, Ogbonna

    Exact cash, worth a hit or pass them by?

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

      Either Ogbonna or Kenny for you!

  26. VardysParty
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Kenny or Mariappa?

  27. n-doggg
    • 11 Years

    A. Kiki (cry)
    B. Kenny (new)
