FFS Cup

The Fantasy Football Scout Cups Round-Up

Congratulations go to Gribude , who is the latest winner of the Fantasy Football Scout Cup after defeating Woeisme by the narrowest of margins in the final Gameweek of the season. Both Fantasy managers fielded eight identical players – David De Gea, Laurent Koscielny, Scott Dann, Juan Mata, Christian Eriksen, Daniel Sturridge, Luis Suarez and Sergio Aguero – and with the Uruguayan also handed the armband by each of our finalists, it went right down to the wire:

Ultimately, then, it came down to just three players to make the difference. Gribude opted for City pair Pablo Zabaleta and Samir Nasri along with Liverpool’s Raheem Sterling, whilst Woeisme plumped for Etihad pair Vincent Kompany and Yaya Toure, in addition to Hull’s Tom Huddlestone. That trio helped Gribude to a 57-56 triumph and elevated him to 1,529 overall, whilst his opponent finished on a respectable rank around the 22k-mark.

As mentioned in our initial entry article, Gribude – who succeeds Tdubb05 as the new champion – now receives £100 worth of bets and a £100 Amazon voucher as the winner of the Fantasy Football Scout Cup. Woeisme, as runner-up, is awarded £50 worth of free bets and a £50 Amazon voucher.

In the third v fourth place play-off, 1nozza eased past xildor by 54 points to 40, after the latter opted for an eight-point hit in the final round of fixtures. 1nozza will now receive £50 worth of free bets and a £25 Amazon Voucher.

Also a reminder that Trigg, is the new FFS Members Cup champion after seeing off the challenge of Sandgrounder by 69 point to 61 points in Gameweek 37. Trigg replaces Acquafresca as the new champion and will be determined to make a staunch defence when the competition returns in the new season.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Why the bloody feck do players stutter in their run up to a penalties. Especially in a cup final. I don't get it. It doesnt work out for these stutterers the majority of the time.

    Choose. Run. Placement and/or Power. Surely thats gotta be the winning formula.

    Annoying to watch too.

    Evening all how is everyone? Seem to have found myself really looking forward to the world cup despite England having minimal chance of going far. I didn't plan it but somehow I appear to have booked the entirity of the group stages off of wor and since I work nights that is huge for me

      Cardozo was allowed to stop and start so many times that his run up took about 15 minutes too. Don't know why they make rules they're not going to enforce.

    Ryan Giggs to be the assistant manager eh, I'm surprise LVG has allowed that

      Wouldn't Giggs help his future prospects more by moving to a head coaching job somewhere in the lower leagues?

        The United board wants to keep him and it seems Giggs is happy to stay if he feels needed.

        That would make a lot more sense. I think a LVG and Giggs combo can only go awry.

          yes but what I mean is he does want to be involved or to take part of becoming an assistant when LVG arrives.

            Yeah its interesting that Giggs wants to stay on board, but perhaps it was never a question for him, he's still contracted to the club is he not?

              Yep he still is and not sure but I think he has an option to continue or stay away.

      Makes sense in the light of this from van Gaal the other day:

      "When I go to a new club, I always want to keep one coach from the existing staff and that person [at Bayern] was Herman Kerland, who is still working under Pep Guardiola. I wanted to know who was coming through the youth system – and he is the man who said to me: 'Muller, Badstuber and Alaba. These are the players.'"

        Yeah thats a valid point but Giggs is no ordinary coach, he could be considered a managerial rival now that he's had a taste of being the United manager, he would have the support of the fans and players too. I'm concerned that this could be some kind of awkward political marriage between two party's.

            No chance unless Giggs takes the top job.
