FFS Cup

FFS Paddy Power Cup XI and Members Cup V – Second Round Draw

This evening we roll out the second round draws of the Fantasy Football Scout Cup XI, as sponsored by Paddy Power, as well as the fifth Fantasy Football Scout Members Cup.

There were mixed fortunes for our former FFS Paddy Power Cup former champions, with our team news man Demi’s score of 35 proving too much for past winner Wild Rover as he cruised through to the second round to face Brain Stem.

Gribude was another former champion to fall, with Snotgrass’s tally of 40 knocking him out in the first round. Toon_army_htl was the conqueror of reigning champion CMIFLFC, while former winner GoonerDave also missed out on a second round draw, after being removed by Blue Mooners.

That leaves three former champions in the competition after Jonty (that’s me) eased past Big Dolls to set up a round two encounter with Bahahahacelona and MCH defeated Aliminator to face Jonny in the second round. Donnellyc was another victorious former champion and he takes on I Just Did A Torres in the second round.

Other notable second round clashes include CB’s match with Mark, and Leaf’s clash with Paul.

Among our former Members Cup champions Trigg’s first round victory was the most eye catching. He saw off the top ranked FPL manager Dufflinks by the slender margin of one point in what was a low scoring week for many of the top ranked players. Trigg now faces Pdes in the second round.

Another former winner Fuzzy Dunlop was less fortunate. He fell in the first round to another community regular Jafooli, who now faces Mrben.

With Dufflinks’ departure, 12th placed Gratuzo is the Members Cup’s highest ranked surviving manager. Red5 who is ranked more than 400,000 places behind Gratuzo will be hoping to emulate Trigg’s success in claiming a big scalp in the second round.

The full draw for the Fantasy Football Scout Cup XI can be found here, while the draw for the Members Scout V can be found here.

Good luck to those involved in the weekend’s action. In the meantime, though, if you’re looking for more information on the Scout Cup schedule and prizes available, click this link for a more thorough rundown.

    Anyone want to explain the Mane mania?

    I don't say he's a bad option but I have read about people looking at Sanchez or Eriksen to Mane for a hit. Really?

    I haven't had Sanchez for 2 months and wouldn't buy him right now. But if I had him I wouldn't be shipping him for a hit just before Arsenal play against Newcastle's decimated defence.

    And Southampton aren't the most prolific goalscoring team to put it mildly.

    So is Mane just your typical point-chasing FFS bandwagon or is there more reason to it than that?

    1. Breadbin
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I proudly owned Mane for his only blanks in the last couple of months. Grrr.

      1. Breadbin
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        And no goals or assists.

    2. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      RP.

      Cheap, almost OOP, relatively low ownership. Good option with people wanting to do moves, rather than needing to do them, if you know what I mean. 😀

      1. Ruth_NZ
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Yep. Silly season then.

        I can see far more value in saved FTs right now myself. Not that I have any. 😉

        I guess Mane for a more expensive mid could be a decent enabler. But not for a hit surely.

        1. Wilshere Knowledge
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          I agree. I have to say, I think general consensus on FFS this week has been a bit mad, but I'm happy to sit back and watch how it unfolds. 😆

        2. walkman666
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Definitely not going to sell Sanchez to Mane for a hit.

    3. Wiz
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Probably to fund and upgrade elsewhere. I can't see any other logical reason

    4. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Everyone that scored last week is essential

    5. MaRooney 5
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Agree with WS
      Also it frees up cash for Costa/Studge//Ivan and keep Kun

      But I wouldn't buy for a hit

    6. Ziegler1988
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I need a replacement for Puncheon and Mane has nice fixtures and form

      1. Ruth_NZ
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah, that sounds perfectly reasonable. Sigurdsson or Mane would be good options in that case.

      2. Lyonnais
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Same move for me, Puncheon ---> Mane. Leaves me 3.2 ITB to upgrade Austin after his DGW.

        1. Ziegler1988
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          I had exact monies for Punch and Austin to Mane and Costa which I did on Sunday. Hopefully Costa outscores Austin for the DGW

    7. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      My re-posting from last thread, too...

      Great point. I also have wondered about the Mane mania. SOTON scores like a goal a game max, and you'd think Mane was scoring 2 goals a game himself.

      I have Sanchez and am considering downgrading to Hendo, Mane, or Sigi to upgrade Austin to Costa or Giroud (post GW31), and have seen 10x more posts lauding Mane than I have about Sigi or Hendo. Curious bandwagon.

      1. Ruth_NZ
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        The problem with Henderson is a very likely Liverpool blank in GW33. I wouldn't look at any Liverpool till after that.

        1. walkman666
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Agreed. If I choose to sell Sanchez to upgrade elsewhere, it may very well still be Mane. However, your point is a bigger one, and well-said.

  4. Somalion

    Aguero's last performance in the CL as a City player. Going to be emotional.

    1. MaRooney 5

        Real Madrid or liverpool

        1. MaRooney 5
          • 11 Years

          nah, too injury prone for Real

        2. Bubz

    2. Breadbin

      And next season will be their last in CL too. It's been emotional.

        A roller coaster ride. Not a very good roller coaster mind you.

          More Chessington than Thorpe park. 😆

            I drive past Chessington every day. It used to be so great, now it's nothing compared to Thorpe Park 🙁

          They learnt the backwards jump in Europe and copied it, just like they copied the "come on City" chant from Hull. Europe, what an adventure.

    Hey guys,

    I'm looking for a replacement for Foster. I already have Myhill, but I want someone else to play GW 31 (mci), 34-38 (LIV, mun, CHE, ars). I have 2.1 ITB.

    Thanks!

    1. Breadbin
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Mig/Ospina.

    2. Ibracadabra
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Surely there are more pressing/interesting moves you'd like to make then a GK transfer. Yes, Myhill will only score 1-3 against City this weekend, but then he has a nice stretch. I'd hold Myhill until you are using your second wildcard or Foster comes back, unless your team is amazing elsewhere.

      1. Sonder
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        My team:

        Foster, Myhill
        Terry, Clyne, Naughton, Hutton, Dawson
        Sanchez, Hazard, Eriksen, Sterling, Boyd
        Aguero, Giroud, Kane

        Thanks for the advice, but do you see anything else that is pressing?

        1. Breadbin
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Ospina for sure.

    3. Ruth_NZ
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Guzan (who also has DGW). If you have a spare FT. Otherwise ride it out with Myhill I think.

    Cup opponent doesn't own Sanchez and Aguero.

    Dunno how to react. 😕

    It's really funny to see United fans criticising City on CL nights.

    They should concentraye on cheering for their team in the CL.

      Suarez. Should be a massacre.

    2. pundit of punts

      Reus

    3. Wilshere Knowledge

      Suarez

      He has finally found his Liverpool form.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        True dat. I've watched most of the Barca matches this year, and Suarez has been excellent that past two months. He was setting up others for most of the year and missing some gimmes, but now he is doing both. He and Messi and Neymar are a force of little giants.

    City need a miracle. Doesn't help that they're up against the best front three in the world.

    I think Pellegrini is gonna start making rash and risky changes to his side in order to revitalise their chances of winning the league eg. starting Bony and Dzeko this weekend with Aguero on the bench
