FFS Cup

Fantasy Football Scout Cups – First Round Draws

The waiting is finally over and we are pleased to roll out the first round draws for the Fantasy Football Scout Cup XII as well as our Members Cup VI. For those who submitted their teams for the Gameweek 22 qualifying round, read on to discover if you made the cut as we assess some of the standout match ups to take place in the first rounds during Gameweek 23.

The cut off score in the Fantasy Football Scout Cup was 68 points, which was an impressive 22 points above the overall Gameweek 22 average. With an overall placing of 323,252 ComeonSpurs is the lowest-ranked player with that score to make the cut.

The high qualifying score means some high-flying Fantasy managers fell by the wayside. This includes CTreacy, the current leader of the FFScout league and 11th placed in the overall ranking, who missed the cut by three points.

Luckily for reigning champion Mark, who scored 55 points in Gameweek 22, all former winners get a bye into the first round. He faces a tough tie against The Quarrymen, who is ranked 103,471 places above him.

Amongst our other former winners Gribude takes on Wheato, mch faces DK5, donnellyc squares up to plummo, Jonty (that’s me) has an encounter with ftnc, while CMIFLFC has a match up with Edmond.

Another former winner, sleepingmaster, will take on community regular Parm.

Meanwhile, Tdubb05 faces Martinp, Wild Rover meets Keith Renouard and Gooner Dave will be hoping his experience of winning the competition will see off Hazardous Blue. Finally among our winners, Ninja Fit Saints takes on Hellraisers.

Other key ties include Sanoj85’s contest against former FPL champion Tom Fenley, while garpheet is another to draw a short straw as he prepares to do battle with Simon March (Dufflinks), the reigning FPL champion.

The highest ranked qualifier is Lexon39, who is 49 in the world and progressed with a score of 79. He faces The dude – Brighton fan in round one.

The full first round draw of the Fantasy Football Scout Cup can be found here.

The cut off score in the Members Cup was also 68. Those with more than that score or with 68 and a rank below 84,590 progress to round one.

With a rank of 133, Albana City is the highest placed manager in the competition and faces Carlton Palmer in round one.

Amongst our former winners Acquafresca takes on Genovoze, while Trigg meets Jimgranty.

Other notable encounters in the Members Cup include Tom Fenley’s clash with community regular S Kuqi, while I face another notable community member Bowstring the Carp.

The Members Cup qualifying round’s highest scorer Facer, who notched an impressive 102 points in Gameweek 22, takes on Somewhatpleasing.

    Who to bench from

    A, Sagna (whu)
    B, Bellerin (CHE)
    C, Walker (cry)
    D, Moreno (nor)

      B for me 🙂 - second time lucky

    2. Venom Snake
      • 10 Years

      I would want to play Bellerin if Costa is not fit to play. Bench Sagna because of City poor away record?

      A imo..

      Butland

    2. Venom Snake
      • 10 Years

      Home team

    3. Limbo
      • 13 Years

      Always Butland.

    4. skeyrd

      Schmeichel cuz at home for me

    According to ESPN, "sources" tell that ManU is preparing a bid for Cavani this January. Daily Star has it that they're already discussing it with Cavani's agent who is very open for this deal. PSG will, however, ask a sum upwards of £50M to let Cavani go in middle of the season.

    1. Kings of Lyon ★
      • 13 Years

      PSG wont let Cavani go, especially with Ibra now coming to the end of his career. Pretty much a non story

      1. Camp No No
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        I would have said the same just half a year ago, but no longer. Cavani seems to actually want out this time and with his comments, demands and lack of discipline has got annoyed comments recently from both the coach and the other players, and they discussed this in a meeting, and disciplined the guy. Whether or not he has changed his opinion remains to be seen, but if he still feels the team must play more for him, they may very well sell him. They probably won't prefer to sell him in the middle of the season, but are already looking for a new CF for the next summer, which suggests that Cavani would leave.

        And Cavani has found himself on bench in league matches recently, and that may continue.

      We're buying Cavani again? 😆

        • 13 Years

        Gaitan , Sneijder , Benzema , Ronaldo , Bale too

      2. Camp No No

        This time there's a reason to believe that PSG is selling, unlike any of the previous times.

    I'm a bit loathed to lose KDB for sun next week, but it does look the simplest route to Sanchez....

    Whatcha reckon?

    A)
    GW23: VVD -> Baines
    GW24: KDB -> Sanchez

    B)
    GW23: VVD -> 4.8 max (JEvans/Daniels)
    GW24: DDG & Mahrez -> Elliot & Sanchez

    C)
    GW23: VVD -> 3.8m max (Targett)
    GW24: DDG & Alli -> Elliot & Sanchez

    DDG
    Bellerin, Simpson, Moreno
    KDB, Payet, Mahrez, Alli
    Aguero, Lukaku, Kane

    Hennessey, VVD, Wolly, Surman
    Bank 2.3m, 2FT

    1. Trigg ⭐️
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Why not get him in after the City v Sunderland game?

      1. Jinswick
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        2 home games up next after sun, and we know how good he is at home!

        I'm toying with getting Baines and just ignoring Sanchez for a few weeks. 2 months out so I expect he'll be eased back in. The potential City double in a few weeks is another thing.

        1. Venom Snake
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          VVD to Baines now, save the other FT. Sanchez can wait a week or two

          1. Jinswick
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 4 months ago

            Yep. Although I'm quite tempted with VVD -> Targett. My defence is in reasonable shape this week anyway and the extra cash gives much more flexibility next week. Target's attacking stats are actually better than Baines too. Whatcha reckon?

            1. che
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member

              Might not play if they ditch 3-5-2 away from home. Wait till after Man U

              1. Jinswick
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 13 Years
                8 years, 4 months ago

                No big drama though as my other 4 rotate ok. It's mainly for the cash to have Sanchez & KDB.

  6. Pringle
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Who to ditch first? Rangel or Delaney?

  7. FrankH
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Hi guys,

    Would any of you consider bringing in Sanchez and silva next week to also enable an upgrade of Mahrez to Barkley. I'm thinking silva and Sanchez can be big big hitters abs out score the other two?

    1. Trigg ⭐️
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Depends where you are getting the money from. I wouldn't sell Barkley right now, either.

      1. FrankH
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks I'm getting the money from the swaps and a money itb .eventually it would be kdb ozil Mahrez to silva Sanchez Barkley leaving me with a front eight of

        Sanchez silva Barkley alli
        Aguero Kane lukaku

        1. FrankH
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          And I forgot payet in the mid

        2. Trigg ⭐️
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          That'll probably be the template front 8 in a week or two!

          1. Pasqualinho
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 4 months ago

            I'm not sure Silva will be in it for long. I'm a serial-Silva purchaser, which by definition means I'm a serial Silva-seller. I love him in my team but if he can't stay fit or Hazard, Sanchez or KDB have a good week he'll be the one to make way.

  8. Spencer

    If Mirallas plays, is it Kone who misses out?

    1. Trigg ⭐️
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Its chop and change in that midfield, Delofeu has been in and out too.

      1. A.T
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Mirallas plays on the left, Del on the right, they're not in contention with each other.

    2. A.T
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Yes

    3. 1zverGGademN
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Mirallas/Kone/Lennon/Deulofeu are fighting for the two wing spots

      1. Spencer
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks guys.

    4. The Raging Bull
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Kone or Cleverley miss out.

      1. Limbo
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Cleverly was in for McCarthy - plays deeper than Kone/Mirallas

    5. Woy
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Hope Deulofeu makes starting XI

  9. Trigg ⭐️
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Just about to get in Baines and Payet, but there is a nagging feeling that Jags is going to match Baines, for 1m less.

    Obviously 2 assists last week, but is Baines really worth it anymore?

    1. Jinswick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Debating this one myself Trig. Jags has a bigger goal threat and a higher baseline BPS, but them assists from Baines are more likely.

      1. Trigg ⭐️
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        As below, if the difference isn't TOO great, I'd like money for Alexis in a week or two.

      2. Lizard Lips
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        not tempted to drop mahrez for firminio?

        1. Jinswick
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          Not this week. At home to STO may be his last chance!

    2. bigbudgie
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I went Baines because I figure I have the cash to spend right now and he's a massive differential for me

      1. Trigg ⭐️
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Same, I have the cash. But I'll want Alexis before too long.

  10. bigbudgie

    I guarantee my opponents will not be worried when seeing my rank.

              Kane for me - I have both.

              but he is playing one of those shoddy mid table teams that I can never remember 😉 . A nice easy game for City 😉 . My options aren't great this week it's between him and Lukaku and Swansea have tightened up between that and my mids I am looking at a poor week

        LoL 😀

  12. TheMadman
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Butland / Hennessey

      Aldi / Monreal / Cathcart / Morgan / Dawson

      Mahrez / Arnie / Payet / Ozil / Alli

      Kane / Lukaku / Giroud

      5.9M ITB

      I want to bring Aguero in, who shall I sacrifice?

      A) Kane
      B) Lukaku
      C) Giroud

      These last two GWs have been absolutely dreadful. I picked up 28 and then 35 points and I've dropped from 22K in GW 20 to 50K in GW 22. I don't think my team requires any major surgery, but I really think I need attacking coverage from Man City after I recently got rid of KdB.

      The plan is to bring in Aguero, and then perhaps bring in Sanchez later on. However, I am unsure of which striker to get rid of. Kane, Lukaku and Giroud are all in decent form and their fixtures don't look too bad either. Lukaku is the striker with the most points, and I have no other Everton players. I would get the most money from getting rid of Kane, and it would lessen my team's dependence on Tottenham (I have tripled up on Spurs players...). I also feel that once Sanchez returns, Giroud's returns won't be as high as they are now.

      So it pretty much boils down to sacrificing one of Kane or Giroud to bring in Aguero.

      1. 1zverGGademN
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Giroud out if you are planing to fit Sanchez in so...

        1. TheMadman
            8 years, 4 months ago

            Makes sense, cheers.

        2. Ashwatts93
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          Giroud

        3. Spatburgunder
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          Giroud I reckon

        Reposting! Thoughts?
        ------------Courtois
        ----Bellerin Toby Moreno
        -MAHREZ Ozil Barkley Payet
        ---Lukaku (c) Kane Kun

        Henn; ALLI Francis Fernandez

        A) Mahrez over Alli
        B) Alli over Mahrez

        160pts behind ML leader and his team very similar to mine with only diffs Butland,Stanislas and KDB vs Courtois,Alli and Barkley

        Really tempted to play Alli over Mahrez, but it's not that easy to bench the best scorer in FPL this season ... And I did a hit this week to get Kun in >:

        1. Trigg ⭐️
          • 11 Years

          A. Big ownership and a home game.

            have exactly the same dilemma. Changed my mind about 57 times

            1. 1zverGGademN
              • 9 Years
              8 years, 4 months ago

              Me too.. Last year this fixture ended 0-1(Bojan) and Leicester had a midweek replay and they could be a bit tired and frustrated after they lost the game... Alli easely can outscore Mahrez this week considering his away stats and this will be huge boost to my rankings, but Mahrez is an outstanding player when playing with confidence and especially with Vardy upfront to open spaces for him.. Really hard task this GW!

      3. SammoUK111

        Anyone considering a move for Austin?

        1. Trigg ⭐️
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          Can't sell Aguero, Kane, Lukaku, Ighalo et all, unfortunately.

        2. Hank Scorpio
          • 12 Years

          Certainly not yet, maybe in time.

          when Aguero gets injured again there may well be a spot for him yes.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Yes.
          But not for a couple of weeks.
          Iggy to Austin is my plan

          1. SammoUK111
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 4 months ago

            Who are your front 3?

            Aka, who do you lose to bring in Austin, Lukaku or Kane? I'm thinking Kane when the fixtures get tough and bring in Ali for some Spurs cover

              My front 3 are Kun Lukaku Ighalo
              I'm thinking Ighalo myself.

        2FTs (0.0min the bank) and looking for some ideas from you kind people. Currently at:

        Butland
        Moreno - Walker - Huth
        KDB - Walcott - Mahrez - Alli
        Aguero - Lukaku - Kane

        Hennessey - Jones - Francis - King

        Thinking maybe to just either downgrade Jones to Targett or ANother, or switch to JEvans and let the second FT roll over?

        1. Kizza_10
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          Should try and upgrade Walcott to Ozil if possible.

          1. Hank Scorpio
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 4 months ago

            Walcott will go in time, but not the priority - besides, I want Sanchez!

        2. Spatburgunder
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          Maybe a cheeky go with Targett, although is Walker nailed?

          1. Hank Scorpio
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 4 months ago

            One to monitor for sure, I think he is 1st choice, and hopefully Trippier gets the Europa League games when they come back around.

            Cheers. Feels lucky when considering 68 points was needed to qualify

            1. Woy
              • 10 Years

              65 here, not good enough. Didnt have Kun though.

      7. Scratch
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        68 that's a big big qualification threshold. With over 3000 entries I wish they'd increased it to 2000 teams and ended it a week later.

      8. Tshelby
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        This will be my move this gw

        Walcott -> Cabaye
        KDB -> Stanislas
        Ighalo -> Kun
        For -4

        Will give me
        Butland, Myhill
        Bellerin, Dann, Cresswell, Toby, Bennett
        Stanislas, Mahrez, Payet Ozil, Cabaye
        Kun, Kane, Lukaku

        And I would have enough money to do Ozil -> Sanchez for free next week

          Cabaye, eh? Why?

          Not sure that is worth it this week IMO.

      9. Kizza_10
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Should I wildcard to sure up my defence, yes or no?
        Current defence:
        Butland
        Pieters Bellerin Simpson (target, Oxford)

        Wildcard changes:
        Hart
        Mertesacker Rose Wolly (Simpson, Targett)

        1. Hank Scorpio
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          Absolutely no way a wildcard is worth using just to tidy up defence in that way.

      10. Daddy
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Ighalo to Lukaku for a hit?

        1. Kudo Warrior
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          Yes!

        2. Vincent Adultman
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          Hmm, i wouldn't personally. Swansea have tightened up, Ighalo has Newcastle at home.

        First time I've ever entered the Scout cup competitions. I didn't realise quite how difficult it was to qualify - 22 points above the average in a one GW shoot out. Feel disappointed now.

        Or, if I get Jags in I can do Eriksen to Silva for free.

        That seems good, right?

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Yes, you do that. Then I can buy Eriksen. 😉

              He's frustrating as anything, Doos. Just glad I had him for a haul last week, and can sell before a run of blanks 🙂

                I'm keeping him this week then getting rid next, just very glad Ozil missed out so he could come off my bench

        2. Venom Snake
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          Just do what I'm doing.

          Get Baines now and worry about Sanchez later. He still needs a couple of weeks at least just to get his fitness up

          1. Trigg ⭐️
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 4 months ago

            True.

            Payet or Silva, though?

            1. Venom Snake
              • 10 Years
              8 years, 4 months ago

              I have both so it's tough for me to choose. Silva has been disappointing up until last week, but he did look good I must say.

        is it worth doing Hennessey > Howard/Mignolet/Courtois 2FT 3.9itb

        Butland ( Hennessey )
        Bellerin Alderweirld Moreno ( Simpson , Wolls )
        Mahrez KDB Alli Ozil ( Payet )
        Kane Lukaku Ighalo

        1. Pirlø's Pen
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          Nah Butland is more than enough GK coverage

          1. Cradders
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 4 months ago

            And they rotate perfectly home and away fixtures

        2. Hank Scorpio
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          Not IMO.

          Would KBD ---> Silva/Toure/Somebody else decent give you enough money for Ighalo ---> Aguero?

      16. djenzio
        • 10 Years

        grrrr. 68 points but rank not good enough for members cup.

          Dang that is unlucky

        Very interesting, I see that my opponent has only three players different to me in his entire squad and of these three, all are defenders, two of whom will be on the bench! It could literally come down to that one defender slot plus captain pick (if different)...

        1. JAC THE CAT
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          Forest fan, nice one!

          Captain choice will be huge

        2. Pasqualinho
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          The qualifying score has meant that to qualify, you need to be in the Top 6% of all teams this gameweek. With such a relatively small percentage it's a reasonable assumption to make that there's going to be a lot of similarities between all of the teams.

          1. Triggy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 4 months ago

            Good point that.

            Maybe for future seasons it would be worth expanding the number of rounds so that the cut-off score isn't so harsh.

            I also thought this when I saw the initial article that the qualifying week for the members cup should be a week later. This means that both cups finish on the same week but that you get two separate attempts to qualify. Just a thought.

      18. Pirlø's Pen

        KDB OR SANCHEZ?

          • 13 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          Don't use caps and we don't know if Sanchez is going to start yet he is still being assessed . I am not going to do it this week

        2. 1zverGGademN
          • 9 Years

          Sanchez all day

        Proposed changes to the Members area

        Comparison Tool: Remove all special lettering making it simpler to search for players like Alexis Sanchez

        Matches: Sort by GW in descending order (most recent GW first)

        Team stats: Add an additional filter for home and away. Allowing you search team stats for the previous 4 home matches

        Anything other improvements you can see?

          Is it possible to do a team history search.
          Ive always wanted to do a line up check on teams but get put off having to trawl through each gameweek.

          Ive never found the tool? Is it there?

          if not , id like to add that to the list.
