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

      10 years, 2 months ago

      B would leave a very nice midfield to chase with.

      1. Cornholi0
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        KDB to Silva and safe the other transfer

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

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

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

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

    3. Tony Yeboah
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 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, 2 months ago

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

    4. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 2 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, 2 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, 2 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, 2 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, 2 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, 2 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, 2 months ago

          I am going Yaya. So Yaya/Silva.

    2. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Mahrez -> Firmino?

      Or keep Mahrez?

      1. Jazz!
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Keep him this week at least

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

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

      3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 2 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, 2 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, 2 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, 2 months ago

          Keep.

        • Bøss ⭐
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 2 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

      5. Puyol Pants Up
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 2 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, 2 months ago

          Has to be.

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

        10 years, 2 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, 2 months ago

            Rotated same as the other side.

            FA Cup will give you a good answer.

              • 11 Years

              yeah... it should clear what to do

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

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

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

                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

        2. Cpt Crunch Scott talent

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

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

            Can drop

            1. Pompel
              • 12 Years
              10 years, 2 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, 2 months ago

            Price protected when flag is removed (I think).

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

              yep

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

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

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

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

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

            Why not go straight to Austin?

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

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

        5. FPL Maldini
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 2 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, 2 months ago

            Pato?

            lol

            1. FPL Maldini
              • 11 Years
              10 years, 2 months ago

              Personal hero of mine as an AC fan haha

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

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

        6. Albert_Luque
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 2 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, 2 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, 2 months ago

              ^This

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

              Not sure about that suggestion

              I'm doing both I think

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

              Only Sanchez for me.

            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 🙂

              10 years, 2 months ago

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

          7. Differentiator
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 2 months ago

            Targett or Cresswell given im short of cash?

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

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

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

              cresswell

            3. cjw176
              • 14 Years
              10 years, 2 months ago

              Why not get Fonte?

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              10 years, 2 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.

          8. wbm
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 2 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, 2 months ago

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

              1. wbm
                • 11 Years
                10 years, 2 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.

            b) DGW

            c) Double Game Week

            DGW) Yes

            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!

            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

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

                • 13 Years
                10 years, 2 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?

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member

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

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

                10 years, 2 months ago

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

            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.

                He'll go down .2 by next week?

                He will drop once before next GW.

                  Thats bearable.

                      10 years, 2 months ago

                      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.

                Still none the wiser as to whether there's gonna be a Scoutcast any time soon... Earlier in the week Granville intimated Mark was planning on doing one (and not looking forward to it).
