Fantasy Football Scout have teamed up with partner game Yahoo to set up the inaugural Holiday Cup contest.

Free to enter, this is a single-entry contest and there’s a total of £500 up for grabs in the contest, which takes place over the next four Gameweeks.

Scoring will be cumulative over the four rounds and your one lowest score will be dropped – that means you can afford to have an off-day and still profit.

The top 20 overall will earn winnings, with £50 going to the manager at the summit.

And the top 15 entries per round also receive prizes, with the top scorer from each of the four Gameweek rounds winning £10.

Crucially, it gets underway on Saturday December 23 at 12.45pm, when Everton entertain Chelsea at Goodison Park and finishes on Wednesday January 3, when Arsenal host Chelsea.

This means that, over the span of Gameweek 19-22, there are two Premier League matches excluded from the Yahoo FFS Holiday Cup contest – Arsenal vs Liverpool on Friday December 22 in Gameweek 19 and Spurs vs West Ham on Thursday January 4 in Gameweek 22.

The starting times of each round are as follows:

Round 1 – Saturday December 23 at 12.30pm
Round 2 – Tuesday December 26 at 12.30pm
Round 3 – Saturday December 30 at 3.00pm
Round 4 – Monday January 1 at 12.30pm

Please remember that Fantasy managers must select a new team for each Gameweek before the round gets underway.

To get involved, click here.

We’ve previously published a Strategy Guide on the Yahoo game, though later in the week, we’ll also offer analysis on some of the overlooked players who have fared well in their Opta-driven scoring system to help you further.

For those yet to register, you can open an account and get started immediately.

You must be over 18 years of age, resident in the UK, and of legal capacity to register with Yahoo Daily Sports and open an Account. If you sign up, please always play responsibly.

    niasse is so useless, hoped that he will play all game

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      Probably would have scored -1

  3. HashAttack
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 9 days ago

    Kenny, Rooney & DCL all start 🙂

  4. Twisted Saltergater

    Pain in Niasse

  5. Old Man

    Ah well, RLC's points stay on bench. DCL to shine!!

    Coutinho
    10 goals
    7 assists
    Mins played - 1,200
    Goal contribution every - 71 mins

    De Bruyne:
    7 goals
    11 assists
    Mins played - 1,972
    Goal contribution every - 110 mins

    Dafuq.. 🙄

    1. Jebiga

      both are essential and season keepers i reckon

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 9 days ago

        Until Klopp rotates.

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 9 days ago

          Why worry about rotation? We can’t predict it.

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      There’s good reason why Barcelona went after Coutinho.

    3. Arctic monkeys
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      One of them is off to barca

    4. HashAttack
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      KDB would have more points if he had better players around him ... could have had another 3 assists at the weekend

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 9 days ago

        Sterling Aguero Sane not good enough?

        1. HashAttack
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 9 days ago

          missed penalty by Jesus, terrible Sane first touch giving it straight to the keeper

          They're all good players but KDB out classes them

    5. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      Man City - 52 Points

      Liverpool - who cares

    6. Sims
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      yes but kdb will continue to get more minutes...

    7. tisza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      KDB's figures maybe slightly distorted by the start of the season when he was playing a bit deeper?

      1. Fresh_From_Desh
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 9 days ago

        So excited that I have both players!

    8. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      I have had Cout for 2 weeks now. Essentially, highest ppg for any of the big guns. He is also amazing to watch. I also want KDB instead of Hazard. More points, simply put.

  7. Alex_thekid
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 9 days ago

    Niasse not even on the bench lol

  8. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 9 days ago

    Time to unleash hell, Kenny and DCL!

    1. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      And ROOOO

    2. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      Just Kenny, 2 assists and clean-sheet

  9. The 12th Man
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 9 days ago

    Before I took a -24 hit last week I had an OR of 720k

    This week my OR is 680k with Rooney and Kenny left

    Hits can work.

  10. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 9 days ago

    So disappointed to see Kenny & DCL starting... with Zaha & Mee first/second subs

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      So disappointed I started Kane and benched DCL when RMT said to bench Kane

  11. TorresMagic™

    Fabianski points prediction tonight?

        He's due a goal.

        1. Syd.
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 9 days ago

          Penalty save

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 16 Years

    Green or red arrow tonight with Kenny Abraham RLC(6) autosub?

    1. QueefParkRangers
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      Abraham will come on for 15mins for 1 point

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      Green if Tammy stays on the bench and you've another good sub.

  13. Twisted Saltergater
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 9 days ago

    Let’s go Rooney. Need a 10 pointer after benching RLC.

  14. Railwayman
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 9 days ago

    No Niasse means 6 point from RLC from bench, I'll take that. But that leaves me with 2 problems - Silva nad Niasse...

  15. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 days ago

    Ah yess Niasse not in the squad, been a woeful signing for me but get those RLC points off the bench. Time to consider DCL or Depoitre as a replacement

  16. Legomane
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 days ago

    Need a 16 pointer from DCL to progress in the Cup...come on Dom 🙂

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      Sorry Lego but not a hope.

  17. Bambi
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 9 days ago

    whats the deal with kolasinac? why hasn't he played the last 2?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      Change to 4 at the back. Wenger doesn't fancy him in it.

    2. HashAttack
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      think Wegner just buys defenders to keep the critics quiet ... them he hides them in a cupboard and doesn't want to play them

  18. FPL Virgin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 days ago

    Far too many jam butties on here 😡

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      You have DCL, he's due another dive.

  19. Pep Roulette
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 9 days ago

    Chances of Choupo Moting starting this week?

  20. thegame
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 9 days ago

    had mustafi not playing, had the choice of making bony or RLC first sub. went for Bony - so cheering him on tonight! Cant be too disgruntled, palace had not scored away from home all season and he is a bench fodder

  21. Maddi Son
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 9 days ago

    What's my best option from the following (Or other suggestions welcome)

    A) Kiko, RLC, Shaqiri, Morata >>> Holgate, Pogba, Silva, Depoitre

    B) Kiko, Shaqiri, Morata >>> Holgate, Silva, Firmino

    C) Morata, RLC >>> Quaner & De Bruyne.

    D) Hold.

  22. Marv25
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 9 days ago

    Cup comes down to:-
    Rooney
    Vs
    Kenny +1

  23. HashAttack
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 9 days ago

    Est Ham contesting Lanzini charge .. should mean he plays in the cup and then gets a nice rest before the DGW?

  24. Ode
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 9 days ago

    Abraham & Kiko -> Crouch & Jones/Smalling -4?

  25. FPL Virgin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 days ago

    Is Holgate the cheapest nailed defender?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      Is he nailed?

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      Is he that nailed though
      Keane and jag could come in.

    3. Maddi Son
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      About as nailed as it gets and hardly a risk at 4.2.

  26. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 9 days ago

    I've Dcl and flappy. Not really ideal.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      I had Fab and Niasse. No idea what I wanted but Niasse out makes it easy.

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      DCL goal. Fab pen save.

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 9 days ago

        In the same play.

        1. Big_Bear
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 9 days ago

          How did you call this!

  27. CRO KLOPP
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 9 days ago

    For some,it was a nice week for BB chip,how many points do you have on the bench? For me 14 with naughton to play

    1. HashAttack
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      My bench ends up playing each week at the moment .. Kola and Silva missing this week

    2. I Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      14 with Naughton to play as well.

  28. Sponge-worthy
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 9 days ago

    Niasse not on team! Zaha in from my bench, sweet!

  29. Rajveer
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 days ago

    37 points with DCL, Kenny and Fabianski left...any chance of a green arrow??

    1. Prøfeßör …
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      It depends on rank etc. There is a chance.

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      Nil nil .

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      Need over 20 points.

      1. Rajveer
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 days ago

        A DCL goal, Fabianski penalty save from Rooney and an everton cleanie will do the trick I guess...

        1. AIRMILES
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 9 days ago

          That was fortuitous.

  30. AlCapwnUK
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 9 days ago

    Have I got my current xi right?

    Pickford
    Bellerin, Azpi, Jones, Tarkowski
    Sterling (c), hazard, salah, young
    Kane, Rooney

    Subs: naughton, rlc, hemed, elliott

    Going to drop one of Azpi / Bellerin soon to swap young for pogba in the near future
