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.

    Hi...got 2fts and zero cash..Chasing big deficits in leagues...can't see there being dgw25..team below..do I do...

    A...kdb to firmino and hold other transfer
    B...kdb and ozil to firmino and Sanchez

    Ddg
    Koscielny dier Dawson Moreno Williams
    Ozil mahrez kdb payet alli
    Kun ighalo lukaku

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

      B would leave a very nice midfield to chase with.

      1. Cornholi0
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        KDB to Silva and safe the other transfer

    2. Bøss ⭐
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      I like B, but if you can afford to wait till after the cup, you should.

      1. Flynny
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Cheers guys....yes I can wait.....am quite excited about option b

    3. Tony Yeboah
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      KDB>Sanchez, bench Ozil this week, reassess next week.......if your chasing benching a tired looking Ozil while most start him may be a good ploy.......I thought Sanchez looked really sharp in his cameo the other day.....perfect signing for those chasing as others may have all their money tied up and cant afford.....i dont fancy pool to score much at leicester so firmino can wait imo

      1. Flynny
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Cheers mate....but can't afford a straight kdb to Sanchez....

    4. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Same front 8 as you and I have 2FT too.

      I'm thinking of doing KDB ---> Silva / Firmino and saving the other one for next week

      1. Flynny
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Cheers....I'm so far behind in my mini leagues that I need to do something different....

        That's what makes me think to go for the double transfer

        1. The Count of Monte Cristo
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          Now you've got me considering the double transfer!

          However, I'm 0.3m short to do Özil + KDB --> Silva + Sanchez.

          But if I just do KDB --> Silva this week, then I could try to downgrade someone else next week by 0.3 to get Sanchez in for Ozil potentially?

          1. Flynny
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 5 months ago

            You could.....I just think having kun, who I guess u have, and an expensive city midfielder is too much money spent on city attackers...

            Thatswhat makes me think firmino over silva

  2. SweeSwee
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Who to get in for KDB? Already have Ozil, Firmino, Payet.

    Can't afford Sanchez

    1. fiveyears
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      I'd get another City player, Yaya/Silva I think will take advantage of extra playing time etc.

      1. Worzel Gummidge
        10 years, 5 months ago

        I am going Yaya. So Yaya/Silva.

  3. DV8R
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Mahrez -> Firmino?

    Or keep Mahrez?

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Keep him this week at least

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

      Do it, be brave! 1 assist in 6 GWs for season keeper Mahrez.

    3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      I'd do it but after fa cup

      Mahrez will continue to fall in price, buy him back for much cheaper in a few weeks

      1. Puyol Pants Up
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Remember, most got Mahrez early when he was less then 6.0, so Mahrez's SP will be low. If he does buy him back in the near future its likely he would be buying him for more then his current SP.

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

        Especially with City and Arsenal away up next.

        If there's a dreaded extra game in GW25, I'm tempted to get another midfielder in for a few games, hopefully get some cash from it and then buy Mahrez back as you say.

    4. Worzel Gummidge
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Keep.

    5. Bøss ⭐
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      I can't seem to justify selling Mahrez having bought him at 5.7 - i'd rather bench him as an expensive 5th mid

  4. Puyol Pants Up
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Aguero triple (C) for the DGW?

    Seems like a bit of a no brainier too me 🙂

    1. FPL Maldini
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Has to be.

    2. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Yep. Go big or go home.

    3. Robe Wan

      When is their DGW?

        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 17 Years

        No news

    4. Ziegler1988
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Not if it's DGW34 and I'm bench boosting

      1. che

        This

  5. Belalugozi78
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Does anybody know if Walker's absence against Palace was because of "personal reasons" only and he should be back as no.1 RB or he will be rotated every second game?

    1. Worzel Gummidge
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Rotated same as the other side.

      1. Belalugozi78
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      FA Cup will give you a good answer.

      1. Belalugozi78
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        yeah... it should clear what to do

      2. Belalugozi78
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks

    3. the axolotl
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      he had a baby last weekend. should be back i'd have thought.

      1. Belalugozi78
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        So these are the personal reasons. Ok then. If so he should be no.1 again. Thnx

        1. che
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          No, he's gonna rotate with Trippier all season, as long as they're both fit. He'll probably play against the tougher teams. This week he probably won't play in Cup, so will play mid week

  6. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Hmm that was an interesting way to smoke.
    I almost gave up watching.

  7. Pompel
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    KdB red flagged - does this mean he's price protected now and might not fall in value tonight? He's on -92.4 on FFFix and -95.6 on fpl stats.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Can drop

      1. Pompel
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        OK, think I'll wait anyway and not bother about the value

    2. Spencer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Price protected when flag is removed (I think).

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 17 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        yep

      2. Ziegler1988
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        If he goes straight to unflagged. Red to yellow to no flag is not protected

    3. Ziegler1988
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Not price protected, will be close since -100% hasn't been falling on FPLStats of late (wildcards maybe)

  8. Alittude
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Thinking of doing lukaku to Austin soon. Would it be a waste to do lukaku > ighalo gw 27 then gw 28 ighalo > Austin?

    1. Albert_Luque
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Why not go straight to Austin?

      1. Alittude
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Because Iggy will have bou that week while Austin will be against Chelsea

  9. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    I would love it if the template in a months time was the following:

    Pato---Kun---Austin

    1. Puyol Pants Up
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Pato?

      lol

      1. FPL Maldini
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Personal hero of mine as an AC fan haha

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

      Doubt it will include Pato.
      Chelsea's foolishness won't translate to Pato being an asset, Fantasy or otherwise.

  10. Albert_Luque
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    What are people's thoughts of having both Sanchez and Ozil? Always been a bit funny about having two players in the same FPL position from the same team, but I suppose pointz iz pointz.

    1. FPL Maldini
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Not keen on it.

      Silva and one of those 2 IMO.

      Arsenal's confidence will be shot

      1. cjw176
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        ^This

      2. Robe Wan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Not sure about that suggestion

        I'm doing both I think

    2. Bøss ⭐
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      It worked out fine earlier in the season when both were fit, and with it being Arsenal I'm not too fussed as they score plenty of goals. I'll likely ditch Ozil if his poor form continues though, but right now content having done KDB to Sanchez.

      If GW25 is the DGW I'll do Ozil to Firmno though

    3. Alittude
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      I can't bring myself to drop ozil anytime soon so may have to double up if Sanchez looks good

      1. Albert_Luque
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Great point, that's the crux of it i think, pleased that we get the FA cup to have a look at him.

    4. fiveyears
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Lot of investment in one team's attack, that's the only problem.

      In theory Sanchez will score more than Ozil does, so I may be tempted to switch them at some point.

    5. Worzel Gummidge
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Only Sanchez for me.

  11. cjw176
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Hey guys if week 25 is the date for the dgw would you triple captain Aguero or use bench boost?

    DDG Cech

    Toby Azpi Bell Sagna Johnson

    Ozil Payet Alli Arnie Firmino

    Lukaku Ighalo Aguero

    Thank you 🙂

    1. scootadee
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      wait for DGW news first. i'd save the chips for later

  12. Differentiator
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Targett or Cresswell given im short of cash?

    1. Differentiator
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      but naturally all else considered... points potential, fixtures, rotation risk etc.

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

      cresswell

    3. cjw176
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Why not get Fonte?

    4. fiveyears
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Targett if he's nailed, I'm bringing in a Saints defender in GW25 as it stands. Not planning on it being Targett though, only because I assume he'll be dropped.

  13. wbm
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    I feel like I need to get Aguero in but really can't decide how, I don't have that good TW.

    Butland / Ruddy
    Aldeweireld / Bellering / Dawson / Cresswell / Francis
    KDB / Özil / Payet / Mahrez / Alli
    Kane / Lukaku / Ighalo

    A) Ighalo + KDB > Aguero + Gosling (or other cheap 5th) for free
    B) Ighalo + KDB + Bellerin/Aldeweireld > Aguero + Firmino + Targett
    for -4
    C) Kane/Lukaku + KDB > Aguero + Firmino for free
    D) WC

    1. cjw176
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      C But wait to see if Lukaku has a DGW25 before deciding between him and Kane

      1. wbm
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks.
        Can also add that I've had Kane and Lukaku longer and will lose 0.3 and 0.4 value by selling them while only losing 0.1 from selling Ighalo.

  14. JabbaWookiee
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Any sign of the scoutcast?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Hot topic

      1. JabbaWookiee
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Mark bottling it? Jonty would be fuming

  15. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Which conversation to choose?

    a) DGW

    b) DGW

    c) Double Game Week

    DGW) Yes

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

      If I had a penny for every time I saw dgw mentioned I would have 2 pounds and could buy a nice cup of tea.

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

      KDB DGW WWE

    3. cjw176
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      e) triple captain

    4. scootadee
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      all of the above

  16. HerbyCR
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Sorry for make the same question everybody is doing, but I need to...

    I bought KDB for Gameweek 10 and then sold him on Gameweek 14 because I needed funds to buy Agüero. Then I bought KDB back for Gameweek 16, after Sanchéz injured.

    My question is, I bought him again for 10.8 and I already lose 0.1, should I wait for the DGW news or should I transfer him now and get:
    A. Yaya
    B. Ayew (great upcoming games)
    C. Alli
    D. Sanchez

    I already have Mahrez, Arnie, Payet and Özil

    Thanks people!

    1. cjw176
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Wait for dgw news

      1. HerbyCR
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks mate!

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

      atleast wait for this weekends FA cup games.

      1. HerbyCR
        • 12 Years

        Thanks bud

  17. The Count of Monte Cristo

    Likelihood of Tomkins starting despite 'knock'?

  18. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Looks like I'm firmly camped in the UFPL game now.

    Agonising over my last three transfers far more than the DGW in FPL.

    Carroll Rondon and Prodl > Vardy Austin and Bellerin....and keep Cabaye
    or
    Caroll Rondon and Cabaye > Vardy Austin and Firmino....and keep Prodl

    1. Larry Legend
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Iv no idea how the game works, but a for me

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

      B but hard call as palace fixtures much better than Watford.

      1. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        I'm hoping Adebayor and Bolasie could improve Cabaye. It's a tall order to be as good as the Ayew's Firmino's and co though.

        What do you think?

    3. Gnu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Given those choices I'd do the keep Cabaye option.

      I've 8 transfers left, can I sell you some? fair price 😉

      1. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Sadly I've had to use them just to keep a team going....and I still have piggin Rondon.

  19. Hybrid.power

    How much will De Bruyne drop over the coming days? I'd like to hold off on making a transfer until after the FA cup games.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      0.2 left this GW

        He'll go down .2 by next week?

          Just monitor. Red flag slows down rate of dropping. I will be swapping for Yaya before he drops again I think.

            I'm going to do Payet to free up some cash. I want to wait until after the West Ham game at the weekend to make sure he comes through unscathed.
