FFS Cup

The Scout Cups Reminder

With 13 days remaining until domestic action resumes, we thought we’d remind you of the two Fantasy Football Scout cups that are still open to enter.

As mentioned last week, we have launched our 14th open-to-all tournament, along with a tenth Members competition.

We are offering up £350 in Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk vouchers for the final top three managers in both tournaments.

Non-members can sign up to the open tournament here.

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

Timetable

The qualifying round for both Cups was Gameweek 29, with the first round running in Gameweek 30.

It’s not too late to get involved, though, if you haven’t done so already.

Fantasy managers can enter their teams from now right up to 10.30am on Monday March 27 – ie, a week today – when we’ll stop entry and make the first round draws shortly after.

The first round will consist of 512 teams and, as usual, all the previous winners who enter will gain a bye into the first round draw, where they will join the top scorers from Gameweek 29.

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

Both these cup competitions will be played out according to the following Gameweek schedule:

    Do we expect chambers to be back by or before GW34?

    The farce that is some of the vents of this season is epitomised by the fact that Walker is NOT flagged.

    By all and every account and precedent set by players such as Baines in earlier gameweeks, he SHOULD be flagged.

    Terrible consistency, really is.

    1. Differentiator

      And yes, I do want Walker cheaper.

    Which pair? (Not a WC)

    A) Snodgrass & Gabiaddini
    B) JWP & Defoe

    Heaton - Pickford
    Alonso - Valencia - Brunt - Maguire - Friend
    Sanchez - Alli - Siggy - King - ***
    Aguero - Lukaku - ***

    Cheers.

    Great to see the new GW34 fixtures. Are the GW37 and others expected imminently?

    1. gawa11
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      Gw37 fixtures will be the rest of fixtures apart from ars/sou which will be either 35 or 36

        Thanks - so unless there are postponements we know all of the match-ups now, except Ars/ Sou as you mention?

        Sanchez TC not the best then 🙁

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 10 days ago

          actually they have sunderland still to be announced, so looking good potentially

  6. Camp No No
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 10 days ago

    Anybody else not really excited by DGW34?

    1. FPL Puppy
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      Yeah, only ManU for me I think. Already have De Roon 😎

      1. Camp No No
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 10 days ago

        I'm actually not particularly excited about ManU either. In fact, Middlesbrough fixtures look the nicest maybe somebody from their attack.

        But the point is that I'm not going to mess my team up to get 9 DGW'rs for those matches.

        1. FPL Puppy
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 10 days ago

          Me too. I got rid of Alli for Sterling when he had a DGW, turned out to be a minor disaster 😆

          Did the same mistake last season, have to be more cautious with my SGW players!

    2. Earn your Spurs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      agree - not that bothered i lost my TC on Aguero looking at that

      1. Camp No No
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 10 days ago

        GW37 might be much tastier though?

        1. Jimmers
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 10 days ago

          Bench boost for 37

    3. Earn your Spurs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      GW37 looks good though 🙂

  7. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 10 days ago

    If you were putting a bet on it now would you say Sanchez and Gabbiadini will be fit to play in week 30?

    1. Rhinos
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      What difference does it make we aint doctors . Just wait for pressers

      1. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 10 days ago

        Fair point guess I was just curious what folk thought particularly about Sanchez with Wenger saying ankle in awful state but Chile saying he should be fine. As you say time will tell.

    2. HashAttack
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      I wasn't sure how medically qualified Wegner is ... maybe Sanchez's ankles are just really awful to look at!

    3. Big Al
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      No I think Gabbiadini will miss, but as others say not doctors just speculating

  8. FPL Puppy
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 10 days ago

    So, until next deadline, which is the best move;

    a) Sterling -> Eriksen
    b) Brunt -> Valencia
    c) Both for -4

    1. I Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      B

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      B

    3. Saint Channon
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      b definitely. I'd hang on to Sterling.

      1. FPL Puppy
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 10 days ago

        Really? I thought he was absolute garbage against LIV. Hmmm...

        1. I Member
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 10 days ago

          I would get rid for Eriksen just not this week. Sterling has the better fixture.

  9. Jay_
      7 years, 10 days ago

      Few pretty obvious things but may help any beginners if on wildcard now:

      Get Davies and Stephens in. Outside chance of a double rise (highly doubt double rise but should rise once) and Rose/VVD could have a setback and miss the season. If not, just get rid of them pre-deadline.

      Alli, Eriksen, Vardy, Costa, King will all probably double rise from this point, even if you don't intend to keep, if you've got a spare spot, stick them in there. Could nick one or two .1's

      Don't sell the players you've got a lot of value tied up until you're absolutely sure you'll be selling (Coleman, Lukaku, King etc). Chances are they'll rise this week and may earn you .1 before you sell, plus you may have a change of heart and want to keep, will go to buy back and you'll find your half a million out of pocket.

      1. FPL Puppy
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 10 days ago

        Good advices. 🙂

        Although every international break this season have been quite disappointing when it comes to price changes. Don't think that many will rise, maybe Lukaku/Vardy and Alli could all rise twice but doubt it will be any more than that.
        I guess a couple of people also activated their WC.

      Good evening all.

      So is that all there is for DGWs ... Today's announcement and a big one in GW37?

      Can we expect anymore DGWs to be scheduled before GW37?

      1. Jay_
          7 years, 10 days ago

          Southampton v Arsenal in either 35 or 36 looks likely.

        • diesel001
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 10 days ago

          Arsenal I think.

      2. My Name Is Prince
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 10 days ago

        What are your thoughts on GW34 forward line... Ibra has to be there... Kane has to be there (if he's fit, same goes for Ibra of course)... So it's the third striker that's giving me a headache... Currently it's Lukaku obviously, but can you afford Ibra - Kane - Lukaku? That's one expensive front 3 right there...

        1. Rhinos
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 10 days ago

          None of those have to be there

          1. My Name Is Prince
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 10 days ago

            And your thoughts on the best strikers for GW34 please?

            1. Rhinos
              • 10 Years
              7 years, 10 days ago

              They are all good options but none of them essential. Benteke could beat the lot who knows

              1. My Name Is Prince
                • 11 Years
                7 years, 10 days ago

                Of course none of them are essential, it's a figure of speech mate! Benteke definitely more exciting to me than Negredo, but with his current form, it's a bit of a risk...

        2. diesel001
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 10 days ago

          Ibra, Kane, Costa for me.

          1. My Name Is Prince
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 10 days ago

            That's same as with Lukaku and the two, very expensive... Can you have Sanchez with those three as well?

            1. diesel001
              • 7 Years
              7 years, 10 days ago

              Yes. But have Zaha, Redmond and another in mdifield. All a gamble. Do you go heavy in midfield or heavy up front?

              1. My Name Is Prince
                • 11 Years
                7 years, 10 days ago

                Indeed, that's the question... I feel like I really want to have Sanchez, Ibra, Kane, and Alli, so the third striker will be a big decision for me...

        3. SADIO SANÉ
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 10 days ago

          I'm looking at Ibra, Lukaku, Negredo atm but we'll see.

        4. I Member
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 10 days ago

          Ibra and Lukaku in a 3-5-2.

          1. My Name Is Prince
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 10 days ago

            Aren't you afraid of Kane then? 😀

      3. Colonel Shoe 肝池
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 10 days ago

        im guessing llorente to vardy gets a green light?

        1. diesel001
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 10 days ago

          Yep - we love those snakes now.

        2. FPL Puppy
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 10 days ago

          Not really, Llorente plays Middlesbrough at Liberty Stadium.

        3. I Member
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 10 days ago

          I honestly think Llorente will outscore Vardy this GW. I keep hearing people say Vardy has a great fixture but Stoke looked very solid against City and Chelsea.

          1. Jazz!
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 10 days ago

            Only because they sat back and parked the bus. Won't do that vs Leicester.

            1. I Member
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 10 days ago

              They don't tend to concede many even when they don't park the bus. It's only the top sides that have beaten them badly.

              1. My Name Is Prince
                • 11 Years
                7 years, 10 days ago

                Leicester aren't a top side? Only English team in the last-8 of Champions League you know 😉

      4. Camp No No
        • 10 Years

        Arsenal are missing Sunderland and Leicester home matches? When are they going to play them?

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 10 days ago

          Leicester is playing in GW34. Sunderland likely to be GW37

        FFS Cup is 78 with nice rank.
        Members Cup is 72 with good rank

            Top 50K = nice
            Top 200K = good I guess

            Depends on the quality of late entries.

                Not sure how it is done. If its based on Rank then I am not safe.

            Thanks TM - Love this spreadsheet to see common posters OR if for nothing else.

            Can't believe Mark is up to 491 OR, that's some comeback from last year's disaster.

            Am pleased that I am still just marginally above Ruth_NZ too in OR

            But still behind TM at 1,064 OR

          When is earliest Chelsea could win the league?
          Could they take foot off the gas once it happens

          1. Mickeylicious
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 10 days ago

            It's a possibility

          2. Jimmers
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 10 days ago

            Well they're currently 10 points ahead so could win it with 3 to play if not earlier

          3. diesel001
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 10 days ago

            Technically they could win it in a couple of GWs if the teams below them lose their next games. But realistically it will probably be after GW34.

          4. I Member
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 10 days ago

            10 points clear so they could win it by GW35. Earlier than that if other teams drop points. Their assets may end up being fool's gold in DGW37.

          5. A.T
            • 13 Years

            I'd expect rotation galore once it's done.

          6. Big Al
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 10 days ago

            They might be even more dangerous playing freely as Champs, if Costa was still in the hunt for top scorer I'm sure he'd want to keep going and his teammates would want him to win it too

          1FT, £3.0m ITB.

          In this situation, would you look to stick to 3-5-2 or move to 3-4-3 in the coming weeks?

          Looking to bring in Valencia, Alli and Ibra in the coming weeks if that helps.

          Hope Boro switch to 4-4-2 now. Gestede and Negredo could be good options if they play with Downing and Traore out wide.

            Traore as a wide man? He doesn't know how to track back and defend properly.

              Crellins latest and presumably the soon-to-be correct one. Not confirmed by PL though.

          A lot of my current team have great fixtures in 34
          With a few transfers up to then I can easily get 15 players out all with very good fixtures and enough with doubles ...
          I could bench boost in 34

          Wildcard 35 ready for the later ones

          1. I Member
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 10 days ago

            37 looks much better for BB. I don't even want more than 3 DGW players in 34.

            1. Leaf
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              7 years, 10 days ago

              Neither do I really 4 will do it

              But the bench boost is only 4 players

              1. 1966 was a great year for E…
                • 13 Years
                7 years, 10 days ago

                4 players x 2 games.

                  • 14 Years
                  7 years, 10 days ago

                  My potential bb in 34 is 4 x 2

                  1. 1966 was a great year for E…
                    • 13 Years
                    7 years, 10 days ago

                    Eh? You can only have 9 DGWers max in GW34, why would any of them be on your bench?

                    1. SADIO SANÉ
                      • 8 Years
                      7 years, 10 days ago

                      I'll have Valdes, Gibson & Negredo on my bench by then probably - then GW35 WC, it makes sense. It's only the bench players that matter for bench boost - you can still have DGW players in your GW37 team.

                      1. 1966 was a great year for E…
                        • 13 Years
                        7 years, 10 days ago

                        If you BB in GW37, you get a maximum of 30 games from your players. You can't get that in GW34.

                    2. Leaf
                      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                      • 14 Years
                      7 years, 10 days ago

                      In theory

                      The last 4 for the 37ers are not going to that great though.

                      A 34er may be 4 players down overall but gets a wider more selective pick and can play in 35 , 36 or even straight in 37

                      1. 1966 was a great year for E…
                        • 13 Years
                        7 years, 10 days ago

                        I've got good DGW scores from Jerome Thomas and DJ Campbell in the past, and Lee Grant last DGW - they don't have to be that great 🙂

              2. Gilles
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 10 Years
                7 years, 10 days ago

                I agree with the theory above.
                BB is a chip about 4 players more than the 11 you would normally play.
                Not about 15 players.

                1. I Member
                  • 8 Years
                  7 years, 10 days ago

                  Yeah but better teams have doubles in 37.

                  1. fedolefan
                    • 9 Years
                    7 years, 10 days ago

                    Will those better teams make up your 11 or your bench?

          2. SADIO SANÉ
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 10 days ago

            I'm doing this. The GW35 WC can be optimized for the best possible starting 11, without worrying about adding playing bench boost players.

          Hi...60 ahead of rivals who I expect will capt costa.

          Do I match him and do Kun to Costa (c)

          Or do I do a different transfer such as brunt to Valencia or walker and captain Kun or lukaku?

          Heaton pickford
          Alonso Coleman brunt Pieters Robertson
          Mane alli siggy king snoddy

            Play your game. There is reason why he is number 2

            Get Valencia imo

          2. Netley Lucas
            • 8 Years

            Gooner's defence and CM look dreadful, Kun(c) looks good.

          @Camp No No....

          DGW37 will be a points jamboree but it won't really be as good as we'd like.

          Consider how many will have players already in their squads with DGW's in the run up to GW37.

          For instance...and I'll do as a case in point. I already have Alonso Walker Valencia Yoshida in my defence...and that's a fairly common defence.
          I have Sanchez Eriksen in midfield and will be getting Hazard.

          Ibra will of course be in ready for the DGW34 (as he will be in every team) along with Valencia .Gabbii will be driven in for the Soton DGW...blah blah blah.. And those players will stay for most for DGW37.

          The game is driving everybody into a very template GW37 either with or without a WC and with high ownership(%)...plus the fixtures will push them to replicate each others additional picks.

          I can easily see most teams having more than ten DGW37 players with not much effort at all.....just left overs from what's gone before. Does that make sense?

            Yes, but the strength of the WC doesn't come after it, but before it... People without WC will have to slowly be getting the players in now, whereas with WC, say in GW35, you can have fun in GW34 and then WC to what everyone else already have... plus with WC you get those few differentials for free of charge as well... Fine margins, yes, but fine margins can win you a Mini League... All you need is 1 point more than your rivals 😉

              The issue is those with good fixtures in 34 also have good fixtures in 37 so you'll want the same players

              1. My Name Is Prince
                • 11 Years
                7 years, 10 days ago

                Not Boro and Palace and Chelsea players though... As I said, it's a very fine margin, but it still is there...

            2. Dr Dream
              • 11 Years
              7 years, 10 days ago

              That's my point. They won't have to slowly get them in, the game will bring them in for them in effect just because how the game is panning out.

              If we accept that most have Chelsea and Spurs defender an that Valencia has already joined them or will be joining prior to DGW34 then the defence is already set for DGW37 (likely most would get Bellerin/Yoshida) as well for that DGW 35/36)

              In a similar way everybody has Eriksen/Alli and will add Sanchez to that for the Arsenal DGW.

              Ibra will get added to Costa/Vardy...and ditch Lukaku...

              Blah blah blah....

              What I'm saying is that if wee accept most already have maybe 7 DGW 37 players then the way the fixtures/DGW fixtures are panning out the game is driving an additional five or six picks into DGW37 by default.

              The fact that DGW34 is a bit poor will have a knock on effect of increasing the number of DGW37 picks because not many will ditch what they currently have for DGW34.

                • 11 Years
                7 years, 10 days ago

                DGW34 might not be poor though, the advantage with the WC is that you can try your luck in it with players that aren't on your list... It might not work out though, but at least you won't get left behind... Agree with you that the difference is not great and it would have been greater with a better DGW34...

                1. Dr Dream
                  • 11 Years
                  7 years, 10 days ago

                  We could indeed take the chance but it's very risky if we assume the game will be uninspired by it and fail to sell the top picks they already have.

                  It may however be the only way to get a big advantage for those willing to take the big risk.

              2. My Name Is Prince
                • 11 Years
                7 years, 10 days ago

                Plus it's still a squad of 15 players that you play with and you need 'em all for BB, so WC helps to sort to last three or four places in people's teams, the rest being similar like you say..

                Plus with WC you can easily create the most optimal team structure for the DGW Bench Boost, whereas you might need to take a hit or two to go about it with FTs...

                I still think managers with WC left do have the upper hand here...

                1. Dr Dream
                  • 11 Years
                  7 years, 10 days ago

                  That would be my estimate (as above). The game will drive most to have at least ten DGW37 players just by default now. The best that can be hoped for would be three or four extra players over those that did very little prep....if any prep at all.

                  1. My Name Is Prince
                    • 11 Years
                    7 years, 10 days ago

                    Yeah, agreed... Won't get you very far in OR, but in MLs it will, and it was MLs that we love to play, innit? 😉

                      • 11 Years
                      7 years, 10 days ago

                      Oh aye....for sure.

                      What WCers really need is for a couple of those DGW37 games to move to DGW35/36 with Arsenal/Soton....then it's fully advantage WC

            Which kind of makes the wildcard not as useful as we thought and won't create as big a rank jump as playing it earlier to get the benefits over a longer period

            1. Dr Dream
              • 11 Years
              7 years, 10 days ago

              Correct. What it needed was for both of DGW34 and DGW37 to look like points jamborees and for a lot of people to have sold the picks they already had for DGW37 for DGW34 picks

              Now it looks like they'll very mainly stick hold of their DGW37 picks with Ibra, Valencia and Sanchez further diluting the benefit of that later WC.

                As someone who used my WC last week, this has worked out well for me. I already have 11 players that will have a DGW in GW37. For GW34, I have Valencia, will get Ibra and maybe swap out King for Zaha for another punt. Other than that, I am happy enough going with my single GW players.

                1. Dr Dream
                  • 11 Years
                  7 years, 10 days ago

                  You are a very good case in point. That will be the norm.

          Bang out of order allowing teams with a great gw result to join after the gw deadline. 🙁

            Does seem odd-you'd think it was a qualifying round.

              Don't you enter a cup hoping you make the cut without worrying about teams with a big score kicking you out after you have qualified?

                I do agree

                No one's qualified yet.

            Wouldn't make any difference to me with my poor score, but it's ridiculous to be able to enter after the competition has technically started.

            Recognized your picture and saw your team, mate. And, here I was thinking 67 would scrape me through 🙁

          Should I wildcard now over the international break with the dgw's announced??

          (Haven't even looked at the dgw's themselves yet)

                Davies might not even play but he's certainly more attacking

            My favorite player in FIFA 17 for atleast 2 seasons is Santi Cazorla.. he's perfect if you like playing a passing game through midfield, and he's not OP so it doesn't feel unrealistic
