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.

      Fresh legs for the league games no rotation needed.

    Hope they mention waiting vs rushing re: transfers on the scoutcast tonight. Lots of people reflexing into shipping players before the FA cup ties which I've always (paranoia aside) thought is a jinx for injuries and bans.

    KDB obviously on a lot of peoples chopping blocks but with limited heavy hitter options this season, its interesting to see argument of waiting vs rushing concerning injuries and price rises/drops

  3. Messi & fabregas
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    If you got Mahrez from the off, Ozil at 9, Payet at 7,7, Alli at 5,3 and silva , and provided there is a double gameweek 25, would u lose any of the above for one or more of Firmino, Barkley,Yaya ? if so who for who?

    Would it make sense to risk it by leaving midfielders as they are and try to get by the double with buying defenders from those teams?

    Thanks

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years

      Özil > Firmino IMO

      1. Messi & fabregas
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        but ozil might as well outscore firmino as arsenal play bournemouth.....and pool seem to struggle to score....

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

          then play Ozil, follow your guts

        Regardless of DGW news, I'm doing KDB ---> Payet.

        Will wait for the FA cup games to pass first obviously. Payet will rise before then but hopefully KDB doesn't drop again after tonight and before Monday night.

            10 years, 2 months ago

            I getting Yaya. Cant go without a City mid against Blunderland.

            WC: most here only going to use it around gw25 upon confirmation of dgw players or when? or some have already used it

            1. Konig Luther
              • 13 Years
              10 years, 2 months ago

              later, for future dgws ... or before gw34 or after

              No rush to use it with blank 27.

            KDB > Silva for a -4?
            Yes or No?
            Ighalo plays if I do nothing...

            1. Arteta
              • 10 Years
              10 years, 2 months ago

              Play Ighalo.

              1. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!
                • 11 Years
                10 years, 2 months ago

                I'm leaning towards that option

            2. Worzel Gummidge
                10 years, 2 months ago

                I would do it myself.

                  • 11 Years
                  10 years, 2 months ago

                  Tricky one because I think Silva will do well against Sunderland...

                  1. Worzel Gummidge
                      10 years, 2 months ago

                      I am getting Yaya instead but its not a -4. The -4 makes it tricky.

                All this talk about technology slowing the game down to make decisions is drivel. Just do what they do in cricket and let each manager have 2 challenges to use when he wants. Takes seconds and everyone is happy (other than the dodgy bookies maybe!)

                    Just seen those daft pundits on Sky babbling on about its part of the game (talking about wrong decisions with your mates down the pub) What are these blokes on? No the wonder they're not managers any more. Ince saying where do you stop? Throw ins corners etc. No, you're not gonna waste challenges on that type of stuff.

                When will we know the date of DGW? Which teams will be involved?

                  Not confident. Might bench Bellerin.

                A.) before Tuesday

                          Yep, just noticed he shot back up. I will still change him to Yaya. A risk I know but Iive life on the edge,

                    Regardless of DGW being on GW25 or not, should I KDB > Firmino ?

                    Have 2 FT and fixtures before GW27 are so juicy that I must have him.

                    Rest mid: Payet, Barkley, Alli, Stanislas

                      What about this?
                      Barkley > Firmino

                        Actually keep Barkley for this GW and do that transfer for the next GW

                      Too much in defence imho.

                      Downgrade Alder. Upgrade Mahrez to someone more fun. Or Stan

                    Coutinho should be back in training next week apparently. Now for that DGW..just makes Firmino even more holy

                        Just get Kun
                        Wait till you see if Walker plays in cup, if he does, sell him as well

                            That's what I meant, get Kun from A or B then sell Walker later if needs be

                            Not Stanislas. Injured and could lose his spot. Gosling. Assuming he is your 5th.

                          So 2 FT so I'd like to use one this week and roll the other one to next week.

                          I'd like to do Ramsey->Payet. But I need to do this tonight to afford. Though I also have Antonio for WHM coverage. Would you:

                          A) Ramsey->Payet tonight.
                          B) Wait until FA Cup Games/DGW announced.

                          If B: is my best plan to do Gomes->SOMEONE to free up cash? Plan on starting HNSY for the next few weeks anyway.

                          Appreciate the feedback and thanks.

                          For this week:
                          Kane(nor) and Mahrez(LIV)
                          or
                          Ighalo(CHE) and Fermino(lei)

                            Kane and Mahrez, but I would also play Ighalo against Chelsea

                          Liecester have tightened up at the back, even if firmino is OOP dont see that many goals in this one

                          Waiting for information regarding DGW, but if there is no DGW before GW27; what to do with this team (1FT 2.0 ITB):

                          Butland
                          Kosc Zouma Alder
                          Özil Payet Barkley Alli
                          Aguero Lukaku Kane

                          McCarthy Mahrez Ward Moreno

                            I'd save...Or dispose of Moreno if no dgw

                            If you can bench Mahrez then you don't have much of an issue. Boot Moreno soon may be an idea or upgrading McCarthy.

                            1. Champione
                              • 10 Years

                              That's why I'm not getting rid of Mahrez, can't bench any of the others

                              I would not bench Mahrez. AOA or bench Barkley or Ozil.

                              1. Champione

                                Cheers. Already used AOA, Barkley definitely playing, so it's between Özil and Mahrez
