FFS Cup

FFS Cups – Third and Fourth Round Draws

We can now reveal who has made it through to the fourth round of our Fantasy Football Scout Cup and the third round of the Members tournament.

Fantasy Football Scout Cup, Round 4

All four of round three’s remaining former champions live to fight another day. 

Of this quartet Gribude has the toughest test, as he takes his 60,500 ranked team into battle with 29,687 placed chrisdharris, while Mark sets himself up with a tie against Wolfsburgers, who, with a ranking of 22,408, is 11,726 places higher.

Sleepysi (ranked 30,965) appears to have a smoother passage to the next round as he squares up to 169,564 placed melvinmbabazi. Similarly Ninja_Fit_Saints (ranked 400,062) looks to be the favourite in his encounter with community veteran Rasping Drive, who is just inside the top one million in the rankings.

The competition’s highest placed competitor Elvarus emerged victorious from his round three clash with Warsworn. Next up for this 167th placed manager is a fourth round tussle with 137,849 ranked Joey Barton and friends.

Other notable ties include former FPL champion Tom Fenley’s match-up with Flying Nugget.

The full  third round results can be found here, while the full fourth round draw can be found here.

Members Cup, Round 3

As mentioned, there will definitely be a new name on the trophy this time around with our former winner suffering an exit in the first round.

Despite being ranked only 495,513, Big Mac 24 may fancy his chances after dispatching round two’s highest ranked manager tisza (placed 223). Next up for this giant killer is another tough tie, against 81,560 placed Jeremylinter.

Mark survives his second round encounter with Deanamo Jammy to set up a sweet match up against 298,629 ranked Toffee777.

I also progress and take my 14,795 placed troops with me into a third round tie with rrcmc (ranked 302,688). Paul, who is placed at 223,287 in the rankings, is another survivor and has a tricky contest against No pressure jose (ranked 56,428).

The third round also features matches between Bend It Like Bennett and Gnu, while Cheeseoid takes on Gotham.

    DDG (Elliot)
    Masuaku/Hegazi/Christensen/Wimmer
    Hazard/Salah/Richarlison
    Morata/Kane/DLC

    Subs - Choupa/Carroll/Morgan

    Is it worth doing Choupa to Pogba for -8?

      What were the other transfers?

      I love a hit but seems a bit random that you’ve taken a transfer without looking at Choupo

      1. jai1212
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        defenders with bad fixtures

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

          And you still have Hegazi? If you are happy with the team starting I would personally wait, Pogba won’t rise so you arnt in trouble that way either

    Time for Swansea defence?
    Was thinking of losing Fabianski.

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Pulis? If him he isn't exactly known for his clean sheets.

    2. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Giggs will come in and...abandon ship.

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

        Giggs only turns up in Wales if there's something to play for...

      2. HamezMace
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        To be fair, I’d rather have Giggs playing midfielder than any of their other options.

    3. supersham
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      why invest in Swansea defense?

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        New manager theory.

    4. J T
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Was thinking about switching him for Lloris ahead of the dgw but don’t wanna get stuck with him :/

    5. Gnu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      6 years, 4 months ago

      I think Swansea wee a bit of the 'neutrals' favourite.
      Quite like to see them go down now, constantly sacking managers and passing the buck.
      Good riddance I say.

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

        Sacking Monk was harsh at the time

      2. asquishypotato
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Shame really. Took away the two focal points of a team and didn’t let the money go back in, what do they expect?

        Should have given him the transfer window to bring in the right targets.

    6. Monkey Hanger
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Love to see Fonseca in the PL. That Zoro get up was a hoot.

    7. Sánchez
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      I might do Fab to Adrian

  3. tm245
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    That was a nice shot by Rashford.

  4. Ode
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    What do you guys think, any chance of Kiko starting this weekend?

    Should I take the price drop and wait for the pressers or get Ogbonna now?

  5. Puyol Pants Up
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Whats everyones thoughts on Masuaku VS Ogbonna? Who's the better pick?

    1. Reuser
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Toss of a coin - bonus points vs attacking potential.

      I slightly favour Ogbonna as his position would be safer if Moyes switches formation - and CBs are less likely to need resting/rotation.

    2. Ode
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      There was a hot topic on this a while ago

      Masuaku more attacking threat, Ogbonna more nailed and Bps

    3. Sánchez
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Adrian

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

      I’m in the same boat, whilst wingbacks are all the fashion, I just think Ogs bonus is a factor.

      That said, West Ham have had hard fixtures, so I think the bonus would naturally favour a CB for the higher likelihood of CBI. For the now supposedly easier games, Mas advanced position could pay dividend.

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

    Surely nothing, but worth monitoring: Salah did not train today perhaps.

    1. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years

      He’s become a bit of an irreverence tbf

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

        don't be disrespectful

      2. Sánchez
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        To us non owners, he's a big deal

        1. Wild Rover
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          *owner 😉

          1. Sánchez
            • 11 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            He'll do a Michu soon
            Second half of season syndrome

    2. asquishypotato
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      There was a point last season when Sanchez was excluded from training becuase he was so important and in such form, I’m guessing the same thing.

      Salah owner.
      Liverpool fan.
      General fool.

  7. Dele
    • 7 Years

    Phil Jones rising tonight?

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

      Depends if his Mrs calls over

      1. Scotty B
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Hahahahaha

  8. Monkey Hanger
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Would of thought Pogba would do something with his hair for his comeback.

    1. George Sillett
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      That's the problem he has. It seems nowadays that get injured means a stupid haircut or a few more tatts.

    2. lespaul
      • 14 Years

      Would have

  9. Revival

    Liverpool to absolutely smash a managerless Swansea in GW20?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      0-1

    2. Ode
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Doubt they will be managerless anymore then

  10. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    OOooo Pog close!

  11. justlikehoney
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    awful tackle from Pogba there, could have been red.

    1. Monkey Hanger
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Now that would be funny.

    2. Make Arrows Green Again
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      No yellow, so possible retrospective ban?

  12. tm245
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Interesting move by Bristol City to counteract United's stable of stars by signing Megan Rapinoe - world class winger imo.

    1. Gnu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      and not be fooled by Jose's defensive approach...

  13. Totalfootball
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    What to do with Niasse ?
    Take another 0.1 hit and more in the future or remove for a -4 to Calvert lewin ?

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

      Need to ship out today maybe to Gray as I have Shaqiri so doesn't want to take Crouch. Cannot lose 0.1 low team value.

  14. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Bristol goal disallowed

  15. potatoace
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    what was wrong with that goal?

    1. Sánchez
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      They're not a big enough team

    2. J T
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      They’re playing Utd

      1. potatoace
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years

    1. HamezMace
      • 9 Years

      Silva isn’t out.
      Missed the last PL game due to his kid being born.

      1. BananaNose Maldonado

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

    need to make a decision before price rise

    A - jones and mbemba
    B - mee and other 4.7 mil def e.g gomez/zanka

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

      Mee has a horrible run of games, I wouldn’t look to bring him in now.
      I’d favour Marriappa over Mbemba too, for fixtures, and playing time.

  21. SomeoneKnows
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Please help select, I'm trying to avoid hits after a -8 failure, so only 1 transfer will be made each week.

    A) Kane + Gross + Surman > Depoitre + De Bruyne + Pogba
    B) Kane + Gross + Niasse > Morata + David Silva / Pogba + Depoitre
    C) Kane + Gross > Lukaku + David Silva / Pogba
    D) Other ideas

    The rest of my attack is: Salah, Sterling, Hazard, Firmino

    Cheers
