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.

    "Darkling I listen; and, for many a time
    I have been half in love with easeful Death,
    Call'd him soft names in many a musèd rhyme,
    To take into the air my quiet breath;
    Now more than ever seems it rich to die,
    To cease upon the midnight with no pain,
    While thou art pouring forth thy soul abroad
    In such an ecstasy!
    Still wouldst thou sing, and I have ears in vain—
    To thy high requiem become a sod."

    Its all or nothing for me. Need 12 points to win the ML.

    Is -8 too crazy? Reasoning - gives me Six differentials as a opposed to two.

    Parker > Hazard
    Mata > Gerrard
    Rooney > Odemwingie (first sub)

    Gives me:
    Mannone
    Coleman Demi Ward
    Yaya Hazard Gerrard Eriksen Ramsey
    Aguero Suarez
    (Odemwingie, Olsson, Jones)

      If you're doing 3 transfers how can your differentials go from 2 to 6? Anyway -8 is too much - you then need to cover 20 - try and keep it to -4. Rooney to Odem is a wasted transfer although its probably to free up funds - what about Rooney to Adebayor and Mata to Gerrard - the second only if you feel you need it
