FFS Cup

The Fantasy Football Scout Cups Round-Up

We have a new winner of the Fantasy Football Scout Members Cup, after the final took place over the elongated double Gameweek 37. Our congratulations go to Trigg, who defeated Sandgrounder by 69 point to 61 points – he succeeds Acquafresca as the new title holder:

Both our finalists decided to take 12-point hits for the double and only had four of the same XI players– Yaya Toure, Sergio Aguero, Juan Mata and Christian Eriksen. Ultimately, the armband selection proved significant – whilst Sandgrounder’s hopes were dashed by yet another injury to Aguero, Trigg’s decision to captain Toure made all the difference, with the Ivorian’s 34-point haul helping him to victory.

As mentioned in our initial entry article, Trigg now receives a £200 Amazon voucher as the winner of the Members cup and Sandrounder, as runner-up, is awarded a £100 Amazon voucher.

In the Tenth Round of the Fantasy Football Scout Cup IX, we’ve now reached the final stage, with Gribude set to take on Woeisme for the chance to succeed Tdubb05 as our new champion.

Gribude arrives at the final after defeating 1nozza by 73-53 in the semi-finals and, with an overall ranking of 1,659, is the favourite to take the trophy. Woeisme saw off the challenge of xildor by 61 to 50 points and now sits around the 24k-mark.

Looking at both our finalists’ squads, they have seven of the same players. David De Gea, Laurent Koscielny, Juan Mata, Christian Eriksen, Luis Suarez, Wayne Rooney and Sergio Aguero sit in both sides – it’s likely that the pair’s decision on the latter two will ultimately prove pivotal to their respective prospects tomorrow.

As mentioned in our initial entry article, the winner receives £100 worth of free bets and £100 Amazon Voucher, our runner-up is awarded £50 worth of free bets and a £50 Amazon Voucher.

Rozzop and 1nozza now go head-to-head in the third v fourth place play-off, with the winner of that clash set to receive £50 worth of free bets and a £25 Amazon Voucher.

As always, good luck to all those still involved.

          My dad is an avid City fan and he does hate how the club has gone. With that said, he still watches the final match day biting his nails. He loves the club and obviously would rather see them succeed instead of any other club. But it doesn't mean he supports how they've gone about it.

          With that said, I think a few of the players are growing to be very proud of City too, Yaya certainly stands to mind as a guy who actually cares about the club and team.

    A/ Aguero -> Dzeko

          I wouldn't say Dzeko is better for a hit. You'll be -4 to start so you'll need Dzeko to score 2+ to pay dividends. Whereas Aguero is by far the better striker and is fit to play. Dzeko scored his goals without Kun on the pitch, and has never scored a brace 3 games in a row.

          Lack of pool IMO.

          Ramsey & Wick > Hazard & Sturridge for me.

    I'm only going to be able to triple up on Liverpool OR City.

    The way I see it is..
    City:
    + At home, needing goals
    + Big carrot of the title
    - Potentially cagey due to importance
    - West Ham are likely to park the bus

    Liverpool:
    + Nothing to lose - likely to play freely
    + Newcastle are abysmal
    - Could be demotivated
    - The game could be dead if City start quick

    Can anyone give me a clinching argument? 😀

        Eriksen - Yaya - Ramsey - Mata

        ...Sturridge - Suarez - Aguero........

        No hits but should I take any and make some changes or just stick?
