To enter, simply fill out the entry form here. You will be asked to verify your FPL team ID – note that, if you fail to confirm your ID, you will not be entered. You will be sent a confirmation email to verify your entry. You can also check that you are entered via this list.

As mentioned previously, the First Round is set to take place over Gameweek 15, i.e. this coming weekend. If you’re looking for more information on the cup schedule and prizes available, click this link for a more thorough rundown.

  3. Rhinos

    Only look like going through with 62? Thought that would be one of best scores

      Breezed through.

      We had a discussion earlier. Hits = Greens. Seriously. 😀

      1. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        I took one last week and got 39 pts so not sure I agree!!

      2. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years

        Well judged hits = greens.

    2. Jimbo123
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I don't fancy taking hits during a gameweek where rotation could be a factor

      moi aussi

  6. Lallana_
    • 12 Years

    When do the scout picks come out? Eriksen was a fantastic choice last week.

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Tomorrow afternoon I think

    2. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Tomorrow lunch time I guess

  7. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Costa and Chadli out YYT and Inggs/Berahinjo in
    Costa and Chadli out Fabregas and Inggs/Berahinjo in

    I have 2 FT. Do basicaly who YYT or Fabregas? Inggs or Berahinjo? I have already Hazard, Ivanovic and Kun and Austin.

    Thanks

    BTW I think the budget striker will be really short term and probably would go for Kane next week. I don't want Kane against Chelsea and want to use the situation

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I would get yaya and ings

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        inggs y think. i don't like fixtures after

    2. Pumpkinhead
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I would just transfer out Chadli.

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        I don't have money for Chadli to Siggy and already have Downing. Nothing to do there

    3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      yaya and ings, newcastle struggling defensively

      then kane next week?

      what will be your strikeforce next week? are you worried about costa?

      1. Beavis
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Even if they're struggling defensively (assume you mean injuries), they have still only conceded 2 goals in their last 6.

        1. FPL Daniel
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          yeah newcastle is on the up. I am currently pro Berahinjo but still don't know.

          Maybe will go Kane and just get over with it

          1. Beavis
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            I've just got Kane

      2. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        I am not worried about Costa. Him not getting BP denies his captain potential IMO. YYT is on the rise and will play every fixture. I am not sure that Costa will start every game during the festive period. Also, when Yoyo scores he gets BP. Have Hazard Sanchez and Kun for captains so I think I am good to go.

        Selling Costa is still a risk but a calculated one. It all depends
        Chadli plus Costa or
        YYT plus Kane and extra money at the end

  8. Gooner97
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Heaton (Mannone)
    Chambers Ivanovic Wisdom (Clyne, Yun)
    Hazard(vc) Boyd Chadli Mirallas Siggy
    Aguero(c) Austin (Costa)

    Good to go?

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Great team. If u r keeping Costa you are good to go

        If they keep "reminding" us all the time the average will be up and up. Come on FFS what is enough is enough

    Never understood why you can enter after the gameweek. Surely you should enter by the gameweek deadline? It isn't like they are short on numbers for entrants!

    1. Gnu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      This. This. This.

      Totally agree.

  12. Gimli son of Gloin

    Benteke wagon

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I was planning to get in Tekkers/Mirallas Saturday night as differentials.
      Then Mirallas scores and becomes popular. Please don't ruin Benteke as well! 😡

      1. Raddy
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Hadn't considered Benteke.Noted.

        Cheers fella's for drawing my attention 😉

  13. Think
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Repost was short of any ideas

    Transfer advice needed.

    Current lot is
    Fabianski
    Baines Azpi Dawson
    Sterling Siggy Chadli Downing
    Costa Rooney Austin

    Sub : Clyne Bertrand Obertan

    A Costa > Aguero (Aguero may be rested no 5th mf so clyne as 1st sub)
    B Obertan > cheap mf (but who ?)
    C Bertrand > Tripper,Caulker & 5th mf upgrade
    D Downgrade costa and save money

    Help if you can

    1. Retrosynth
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I'd say D, with Bony

  14. MeDo_JE
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Di Maria to Mirallas for this gw, then get him back...?

    1. Gooner97
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      As I did.

    2. Mr Sarcastic
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      No need to get Di maria back so quickly even if he happens to be fit (which I doubt)

      1. MeDo_JE
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        In ml that i play, player is locked when he is selected in 5 of 20 teams... Di Maria is currently on 5 so if i sell him i must get him back next week so others cant lock him... Its complicated coz i cant buy Sanchez or Fabregas from the start of the season, so Di Maria is one of few differentials left...

        1. Mr Sarcastic
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          okay, that makes it different then 🙂

        2. Root
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Overall Rank 25 with absolutely stupid ML rules like that? Impressive.

    3. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Considering him

    4. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      No pick someone long term

      1. Root
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Why isn't Mirallas long term?

      2. MeDo_JE
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Dont have funds for Yaya, others are locked or injured (Sanchez, Fabregas, Silva)

  15. Mr Sarcastic
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Which one?

    a) play Caulker, bench Costa

    b) Costa => Rooney for free and switch back for next game if it feels like it

    No other pressing matters atm and losing max 0.2 on Costa if I do it tonight.
    Well I have Fab and his 4 yellows tough.

  16. Jimbo123
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Start Chadli (che) or Chambers (SOT) ???

    1. Gooner97
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Chambers

  17. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    If not enough people entered, then they're not in it. Simples.

    Ps, very sneaky creating a "cup team" Mark and Granville!

  18. drunken_mess
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Krul & ADM out, 14.6 to spend.

    1. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      You take GK out. Don't you need GK back?

      1. drunken_mess
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        god im tired 🙁

    2. Fantasy Gold

  19. NATSTER
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    - Re-post -

    RMT tool suggest me to play Boyd (NEW) and bench Kane (che).

    Do you agree with this suggestion ?

    1. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      No I'm playing Kane.

    2. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I would play Kane

    3. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      lol what a waste of time that is

    4. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I am faced with same decision and am playing Kane.

  20. LewanGOALski
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Which one, guys:

    A. Guzan + JT / Cahill
    B. Adrian + Azpi

  21. WUSS
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Clyne and Di Maria out for Baines and Chadli?
    Any suggestions ?

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Depends on your other mids, yaya Haz Sanchez for di Maria and downgrade clyne

      1. WUSS
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        My mid is fabregas Di Maria Sanchez Siggy

        So A) di Maria and clyne out for Yaya and Jenkinson

        B) di Maria and clyne out for Chadli/Ericksen and Baines/Ivanovic

        1. Pat Bonner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          A looks good

  22. trimmtrabb
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Playing my wild card this gameweek - have always gone heavy on forwards over the tears and that has usually served me well. Currently 11k and had almost the cheapest defence possible all year long but now going for this until winter WC in GW23.

    Elliot McCarthy

    Baines Cahill Azpilecueta clichy yun

    Yaya Sanchez hazard siggy Boyd

    Aguero Austin Kane

    Part of me still tempted to get Rooney and restructure the defence but the logical part of me brain is pretty content with that team though as soon as 7.45 hits tomorrow I'm sure some glaringly obvious omission will hit me. Thoughts on the above team please?

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Too much in defence. Gives you selection problems each week as well. The 2 cheap forwards causes you problems if a big forward hits form. Downgrade one of chelsea def and clichy and upgrade forward

  23. Gimli son of Gloin
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Hazard should be a good captaincy option this week.
    Spurs will probably lose 3/4 nil and Hazard will be the focal point with Costa out.
    Kaboul, Vert, Fazio etc all prone to giving away penalties too..

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Think I'm going hazard as well but not sure it'll be 3/4 nil!

  24. Chris_White
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Wish Newcastle didn't have the ugliest fixtures ever... Elliot would have been great to get in order to free up funds

  25. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    So, Costa and ADM.
    To
    All -4
    A. Aguero and Eriksen
    B. Aguero and Mirallas
    C. Bony and Yaya
    Or, no hit
    Costa to Rooney?

    I need Aguero right?

    1. Chris_White
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Yes. A.

    2. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      A is awesome long term.

    3. michudagawd
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      A

    4. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      A

    5. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Thanks all
      Doing it now, as I have the exact money!

  26. Mario Balofail
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    ADM>Siggy and Costa>RVP and yes I'm desperate and mad 😉

  27. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Struggle to see Aguero (c).

    Man City scored when they got pushed by Southampton.
    Sunderland will not push. They will just sit back and score on the counter.
    Sunderland always (last 4 PL results) win 1-0
    But I can't help thinking I'm gonna have my ass handed to me with Bony captain...

    1. Wirtzle Gummidge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Same thoughts here. All my players are playing at home besides 2... and I'm captaining one.

      Hazard tempts me.

      1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Bony.
        QPR 0 points away from home.
        GD of -13...

        Seems obvious

    2. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      This is the type of game where City will really miss Silva I think. Can't count Aguero out ever though. That said, I think Bony is a better option tomorrow by a distance.

      1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Glad to see I have some groupies.

        We'll captain bony and hide behind the sofa!

        1. rozzo
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          I captained Bony last week. Lets sit back and watch the points roll in. He seems good for a goal a game but doesnt seem the type to get hat tricks unfortunately.

        2. Walsh
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          I don't own Bony. Was just agreeing with your point.

  28. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
    • 12 Years
