FFS Cup

Fantasy Football Scout Cup VIII – Second Round Draw

This evening we roll out the draw for the Second Round of the Fantasy Football Scout Cup VIII, sponsored by Paddy Power. The ties, which will be played over Gameweek 13, hand defending champion Wild Rover another tricky task – he’s up against Laser314, who sits just outside the top 5,000 Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers.

Amongst the contributors, Granville goes head-to-head with dullardinho, with Mark’s podcast sidekick the highest-ranked of the pair, whilst our Suspension Tightrope expert Anarok is a slight underdog against DrD.

Looking at some of the former winners, Goonerdave is a hot favourite against viewoftheland – he’s almost 500,000 places ahead of his opponent in this week’s standings. Similarly, sleepingmaster is odds-on against ChickenDevil, though Jonty has a tougher time of it in an encounter with Birthday Sess. Donnellyc has been matched with 99% Dullard, who sits around the 1.3 million mark, while MCH undoubtedly has the hardest task of any our previous winners – he squares up to PGL NIL SATIS, who is ranked 532nd overall.

For those participants still involved, click here to see who stands in your way of progressing to the Third Round.

    Evening all.

    Third week running I've had 2FT, so maybe now is the time to do some surgery. Scoring well, but not that well. Captains are saving the day at the moment.

    Boruc | Davis
    Baines | Terry | Chico | Clyne | Burner
    Ozil | Sess| Ramsey | Barkley | Ravel
    Suarez | Aguero | Lukaku

    2FT 2.6m

    I've got an 8 pointer in mind to set myself up for a mid of Wally, Haz & Silva in the near future. A step back to go forward.

    Baines | Chico | Ozil | Barkley --> Johnson | Gabbidon | Hazard | Oscar

    Gives me the exact cash for Sess to Walcott if all things remain equal & I might ditch Johnson for Mert once Arsenal get past their two hard fixtures immediately before Liverpool enter their two hard games.

    Would mean this 3x1 def rotation of (CAR|CPL|SOT) through to GW24.

    nor | WHM | CAR | WBA | NEW | SOT | SUN | NOR | WHM | STO | HUL | NOR

    Any opinions gladly received.

          Was obsessing over the combinations mate. Especially with the uber rotation trying to fit RVP and bale in 😆

          By the way, would just do baines and Barkley > gabbidon and hazard. The rest not sure if worth a hit. Would keep ozil for a couple more. Wait on Walcott.

            Means having to play Chico or Clyne this weekend though.
            Walcott comes later regardless.

    Sky stated that Aguero was forced off with an injury, SKY are usually correct with these things, they did imply as he played until half time, they do not think it is serious.

    We all need to chill and await further clarification prior to starting a fire sale!

      Either way he is going to be a doubt now which makes the captaincy tricky with Suarez on the scene!

    Don't think aguero is injured. He was moving perfectly fine before the whistle. If he had an injury that forced him off at half time, surely it would be quite obvious.

        He didn't look totally fine, to be fair. I wondered whether he was in some discomfort. Might just be something minor, though.

      Something like a calf strain would not, if he was to feel the slightest hint of a problem, they would remove him from the game.

        They probably learned their lesson with silva?

        But yea I've had one of those before. Felt fine on the pitch, once I cooled down I could tell sth is not right. Non owner here but thinking of bringing him in.

    Aguero owners...

    I am sorry for my recent display. Sometimes I get overly excited when it comes to Fantasy Football..

    If the Aguero injury happened to me after bringing him in, I'd be disappointed, so I should be more caring about the situation, in case it ever happens to me.

    To the people that have Aguero, watch this video, you'll feel a lot better. 🙂
