This afternoon we reveal the results from the first rounds of both the Fantasy Football Scout Cup XII and Members Cup VI and also roll out the second round draws, with the fixtures set to take place in Gameweek 24.  

In the Fantasy Football Scout Cup XI four former winners departed at the first hurdle, with Edmond beating CMIFLFC, Wheato getting the better of Gribude, Hazardous Blue defeating Gooner Dave and The Quarrymen seeing off an Aguero-less Mark.

Among our remaining former winners Jonty (that’s me) will face No Luck, mch squares up to Pienaar Colada, sleepingmaster meets another community regular Oghash, Tdubb05 has an encounter with Frazek, Wild Rover will be hoping for victory over United Come On, while Ninja Fit Saints takes on nicool.

The highest-ranked manager left in the Fantasy Football Scout Cup is Chucky 77 – sitting in 122nd place, he faces a tough tie against Vantablack, who is ranked 6,500 places behind him.

Other notable match ups include a FFScout contributors and moderators derby as Greenwindmill takes on Scoutcast co-host Andy85wsm and Billy Gilmore meets Horlicks esq.

The full Fantasy Football Scout Cup XI results from Round 1 can be found here, while the Round 2 draw can be found here.

In the Members Cup, a couple of both former winners were sent packing, with Jimgranty getting the better of Trigg, while Genovoze defeated Acquafresca.

Rhinos’ tally of 90 points proved the highest score of Round 1 and earns him an encounter with CanTheyScore in Round 2.

Key ties in Round 2 also include former FPL winner Dufflinks (aka Simon March)’s match with chetl1985 and Hasselbaink Forever’s clash with the Members Cup’s highest ranked remaining manager Peadarb, who is placed 556th in FPL.

The full Members Cup Round 1 results can be found here, while the Round 2 draw can be found here.

    First?

    1. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Go? Mahrez or Ozil..

  3. BrockLanders
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Who has to go 1st??

    Mahrez or Ozil..

    1. Lingardium Leviosa.
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Ozil. But this week?

      1. BrockLanders
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        I know. Probably next week

  4. Fred54
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    68 points and still knocked out. Bah!

  5. JK - Cønt ⭐

    yay another cup I didn't qualify for

    1. Lingardium Leviosa.
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Oh right, the article.

  6. GreenWindmill
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Bring it on Andy!

    Looks like you're the form team - you'd have crushed me in the last round!

    Pre-transfers (of which I'll make at least one, obviously!) our main differences are:

    Andy85WSM vs GreenWindmill
    --------------------------------
    Schmeichel (LIV) vs Butland (mun)
    Smalling (STO) vs Bellerin (SOT)
    Rose (nor) vs Williams (wba)
    Huth (LIV)/Daniels (cpl) vs Evans (SWA)
    Mahrez (LIV) vs KDB replacement (???)

    I think I'd better be supporting Liverpool this week 🙂

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Going to be close.

      1. GreenWindmill
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Looks it on paper

    2. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Bring it on! I have 2 FTs too 🙂

      You should captain Lukaku again...

      1. GreenWindmill
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Maybe I will 🙂

        You should sell Ramsey and Giroud again 😉

    3. Arvin-ation
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Looks a tight one.

      Best of luck 🙂

  7. Ferguson
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Ayew or Arnautovic?

    1. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Ayew or Siggy for me. Reckon Swansea may go on a bit of a run here..

      1. Lovren an elevator
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Worth keeping Williams then?

        1. BrockLanders
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          I'd say so. I think the manager has got them a bit tighter and Ayew & Siggy have looked decent under him.

    2. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Barkley or Baines?

      1. BrockLanders
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Close one. Probably Baines

      2. ANDER.
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Baines.

      3. Bobbydhino - ⚒ Saint Slav…

    Does anyone know what the actual fixtures are missing in gw27 and when they are likely to be reschuled /dgw ?

        • 12 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        he's already at -109% with over 6 hours to go before changes

        1. Scratch
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          He just got red flagged I thought that would knock the 109% down quite a bit

          1. sinik
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years

      Sinik, would you be interested in a small draft-style cash competition (£10/$15) on DUGOUT during the month of February? (GW24-27)? Looking for about 4 people

    3. A.T
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Nice. He looks a decent player. I've seen him play twice though 🙂

    Best exit strategy for KDB ?

        good shout

  15. Captain Haddock
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    De Bruyne --> A) Payet, B) Firminho or C) wait for the DGW news?

    1. Lovren an elevator
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Payet regardless of Dgw news.
      You're gonna need a good team for gw27 and Payet at home to Sun is very good

    2. JJeyy
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      a

    3. Captain Haddock
      • 11 Years

      Thanks. Done deal

  16. Lovren an elevator
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    With De Bruyne out, Navas will surely play more? He played alot while Silva was out.
    Also his assists per mins played is not bad atall, and some good upcoming fixtures, is he likely to get the starts?

    1. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Assist per minute would want to be better that points per game. Pell seems to love him why I will never understand.

      1. Lovren an elevator
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Agree, I don't understand either, but will he be nailed til March then?

    2. Uppercut Panda - A legend i…
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      are you seriously considering navas?

  17. pundit of punts
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Ideas please?

    Foster - McCarthy
    Alderweireld - Dawson - Simpson - Nyom - Wollscheid
    KDB - Ozil - Payet - Mahrez - Alli
    Aguero - Kane - Ighalo

    1 FT and 3.6m in the bank.

    A. KDB+Mahrez ➡ Firmino+Silva for -4
    B. KDB+Ighalo ➡ Firmino+Lukaku for -4
    C. KDB+Ighalo ➡ Silva+Lukaku for -4
    D. KDB ➡ Firmino/Silva
    E. Anything else
    F. Save

    Thanks in advance. 🙂

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Wait for Fa Cup but I'd be looking at D at the mo. You don't need to do a -4. You can just bench Mahrez/Ighalo.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      G. Wait

    3. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      D) KDB to Firmino you've enough City coverage with Aguero

    4. rozzo
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      KDB to Sanchez. If DGW is week 25 then Firmino

    5. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Would not get rid of mahrez right now. Fixtures great from 27 on and lei o my team with no 27 or 30 blank right now.

  18. JJeyy
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    who should i play?

    Iggy or Mahrez

    1. pundit of punts
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Mahrez

    2. Lingardium Leviosa.
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Igs

  19. che
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Goin for Kuka(c) over Kun did for me. Won't be doin that again

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      When Kun is firing, there's no point even considering anyone else tbh.

      1. pundit of punts
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        ^^

  20. janowsc
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    KDB dropping like crazy already! Why can't people chill until after the weekend!

    1. Gnu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      They'll chill back once they've done the transfer, you've got it the wrong way round.. 🙂

      1. janowsc
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        With heaps of fa games still to play, I expect more patience...

    2. che
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Red flagged now so should only be 0.1 fall

  21. Jack Burton
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    To much west ham coverage cresswell payet and Valencia

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Valencia is too much regardless.

      1. Lovren an elevator
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Valencia is surely nailed tho?
        I agree better striker picks than him, but he will surely give some returns whilst nailed, and likely nailed til atleast March?

      2. Jack Burton
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Ha ha maybe got aguero and Kane just losing faith in lukaku don't know what to do with him

  22. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Mahrez to Alli worth doing you think? Don't have Kane as it is.

    1. Every Dog Has Its Day
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Yes, Alli has exceptional away form.

    2. Arvin-ation
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Do it.

      I'm bringing him in for Stanislas, I think.

    3. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Not for me. Too sideways. Hold till next week.

      1. zotter
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        This. Partially depends on DGW s

    4. pundit of punts
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Do it.

      Alli in the form of his life.

  23. Every Dog Has Its Day
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Which one.

    A) Watford, BOU and wba.
    B) Leicester, NOR and WHM.

    Currently leaning towards A, thoughts?

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I don't get it.

      1. Every Dog Has Its Day
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Which team do you think has the better defensive fixture, Watford or Leicester. Those two games are the two games I'll most likely play them in.

        1. Davido989
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          A.

    2. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      A I would say too. But without checking the teams with those fixtures hard to say

  24. Lovren an elevator
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Eriksen or Siggy?

    1. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Eriksen

      1. Lovren an elevator
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Cool, I currently have Eriksen not siggy, so like your answer. Can you say why tho? As Siggy is on pens

        1. Albrightondknight
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Fixtures not bad. His stats and form seems better that earlier in the season. Maybe he is due some hauls.

          1. Lovren an elevator
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 2 months ago

            Spurs score alot of goals don't they. Currently have him and Alli. But thought maybe lose one to get Kane? Altho I don't really wanna lose Aguero, Ighalo or Lukaku right now

    2. Arvin-ation
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Erik

    3. BIG TONES
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Eriksen but he is a troll player to own. Be aware

      1. Lovren an elevator
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Have had him all season so I know all about it. Still seems ok option tho. Just thinking Siggy is on pens tho and Swansea are resurgent

  25. Kizza_10
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Should I change anyone in my team. Im thinking Mahrez to Ali ?

    Team as it stands:
    Butland
    Pieters Bellerin Simpson (target,Francis)
    Mahrez Ozil Sanchez Payet
    Lukaku Aguero Kane

    1. zotter
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Depends on DGWs now.

    2. zotter
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Also. Would shift peters to avoid doible stoke

      1. Kizza_10
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Any suggestions? Needs to be 5.0 and lower.

  26. zotter
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    What's your team of season so far. I would say. On balance. Butland. Bellerin. Toby. Vertonghen. Monreal. Kante. Alli. Mahrez. Ozil. Vardy. Aguero.

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah, that.

    2. pundit of punts
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Ighalo in place of Vardy.

    3. Snikii
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      ighalo/lukaku over aguero

    4. rozzo
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      No Payet?

      Lukaku and Ighalo have had betteqg seasons than Aguero so far.

    5. fickle
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Lukaku over Alli

  27. Lovren an elevator
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    I'd struggle to leave Barkley and Lukaku out. Might be tempted to choose Ighalo over Vardy aswell. Apart from that, very much in agreement with you

  28. BrockLanders
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Think I'm gonna ditch Alderweireld..

    Current defence: Ivanovic, Moreno, Rangel, Betrand..

    Got £1.6itb any suggestions guys??

    1. zotter
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      He is the last of your defenders I would ditch

      1. BrockLanders
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Why? He been blanking for the last 4/5 weeks. It's either him or Betrand..

  29. BIG TONES
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Any West Ham fans know if Tomlins will play this GW? (Yes I own him)
