With 13 days remaining until domestic action resumes, we thought we’d remind you of the two Fantasy Football Scout cups that are still open to enter.

As mentioned last week, we have launched our 14th open-to-all tournament, along with a tenth Members competition.

We are offering up £350 in Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk vouchers for the final top three managers in both tournaments.

Non-members can sign up to the open tournament here.

Our members can sign up to both tournaments, via entry forms here and here.

Timetable

The qualifying round for both Cups was Gameweek 29, with the first round running in Gameweek 30.

It’s not too late to get involved, though, if you haven’t done so already.

Fantasy managers can enter their teams from now right up to 10.30am on Monday March 27 – ie, a week today – when we’ll stop entry and make the first round draws shortly after.

The first round will consist of 512 teams and, as usual, all the previous winners who enter will gain a bye into the first round draw, where they will join the top scorers from Gameweek 29.

Previous winners must enter with the same usernames to gain their bye.

Both these cup competitions will be played out according to the following Gameweek schedule:

FFS Cups Round Dates
Qualifying – Gameweek 29
Round 1 – 512 teams – Gameweek 30

      Do we know the double gameweek teams for GW37 yet?

      1. The Head-Ake
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Arsenal, Soton and I forgot the rest, prolly Chelsea/

  3. Hasselbaink Forever
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Pickford / Foster
    Alonso / Coleman / Brunt* / F.Mori* / Pieters
    Mane / Eriksen / Coutinho* / Siggy / Grosicki
    Aguero / Lukaku / Carroll

    2FT 0.4 ITB

    Currently planning on doing F.Mori > Valencia

    Who to downgrade Coutinho to? Max 7.5

    A) Pedro
    B) Lanzini
    C) Ayew
    D) Redmond
    E) De Roon & bank the cash

    I'm happy playing the rest of my front 7 this week so would a move to a cheapie mid player be wise?

  4. Chris_White
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Walker or Alonso?

    Big decision...

    1. ScotDougie
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      If I had to choose one it would be Alonso simply because Chelsea have a massive lead in the PL they can afford to sit back and grind out results and play safe where as spurs have to really go for it in every game possibly leaving them vulnerable for counter attacks - just an opinion there really isn't much to split them

      1. Chris_White
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Fair points. Walker more likely to deliver attacking returns by that logic..

    2. Phil Dagger ⭐
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Need both imo

      1. Chris_White
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        I know. Ideally like both plus Valencia, but can't afford it atm.

        1. Phil Dagger ⭐
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Chelsea have some mixed fixtures upcoming. Spurs fixtures looks good so probably Walker first by that logic although Alonso can do damage against anybody

          1. Chris_White
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 9 months ago

            Yep, exactly. Will probably go for Walker as a differential.

    3. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Alonso is the massive risk for non-owners, could have got a monster @STO, get him 1st if you've got Valencia already in position.

      1. Chris_White
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Cheers, got Valencia last week so

    4. A.T
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Alonso

  5. joersherman
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    A) Baines > Valencia
    B) Baines & Daniels/Brunt > Walker & Jones (-4)
    C) Ship Markovic?

    Current team:
    Jaku Grant
    Alonso Coleman Baines Daniels Brunt
    Sanchez Mane Siggy Markovic Clayton
    Kun Kaku Llorente

    1. Hasselbaink Forever

    3. LC1

  9. claretdownunder
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Thoughts on UTD playing a game every three to four days in April

    Will we see lots of rotation - and in which matches?

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      I look at PL rotation only and see certain patterns during tight patches. Not much.

    2. Jafooli
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Good post on this just above yours.....deserves a sticky to get a discussion going...

  10. United10
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Will Rose return this season? Do we have an expected date?

    1. A.T
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Possibly in a couple of games was last i heard.

    2. Phil Dagger ⭐
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Reports says poch expects rose to return to training next week probably light training atm though

  11. joersherman
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Losing bucket loads on Markovic...a punt gone wrong! Worth doing Kun & Markovic > Vardy/Costa & Alli for -4?

    1. Sergeant Garcia
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      I did smth similar with Grosicki... I'd go for it!

    2. Unbowed Unbent N'Golo
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      I share your pain, hoping he can hold off this next drop for a bit longer! Good transfers

  12. Pringle
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    What would be you priority?

    A. Foster --> DDG
    B. Coleman --> Walker
    C. Carroll --> Vardy (C)
    D. None of them worth it. So save transfer.

    1. Hasselbaink Forever
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      A depending on your other keeper

      1. Pringle
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Jakupovic

    I thought I'd put a watermelon in my belly (Arabic idiom meaning relieved) when I got 77 points this GW. But when I checked the amount of people entering the cup & all them high points. I am not so confident I will be able to qualify anymore, what do you guys reckon will be the safety score?

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Around 80

  19. Rupert The Horse
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Just seen the Man City v Liverpool match. Incredible effort from both teams. Could have been 5-5.
    The Firmino early celebration has me in stitches.

    1. Johqvist
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      He didn't celebrate though. He saw that he missed before he made the slide in grief.

  20. IL LUCE
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Amat + Phillips to Valencia + De Roon worth a -4 ?

    Have exact funds.

    Team:

    Heaton - Robinson
    Alonso - Coleman - Davies - Ake - Amat
    Mane - Sane - Eriksen - Siggy - Phillips
    Kun - Lukaku - Llorente

    1 FT 0.8 ITB

    Thanks!

  21. Jam0sh

    Hello guys. If Antonio is out after international break, who would get to replace him from this lot (also doing Brunt -> Valencia the most probably):

    Heaton
    Brunt, Baines, Alonso
    Sigurdsson, Mane, Antonio, Alli
    Lukaku, Aguero, Llorente

    subs: Foster --- Robertson, Clayton, Holgate --- 1 FT, 4.6 ITB

    A) Eriksen
    B) Mahrez
    C) Lanzini
    D) Redmond
    E) Someone else, who?

    1. Judders
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Tadic

  22. Egyptian Giza
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    So based on the safe score is about 78 points now, can you guys make another cup for sore losers like myself? (before Sunday I had 72 points and had 3 players (Sterling Mane & Coutinho LOLL)

  23. El-Kloppico
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Can someone clarify to me why people are rushing for Soton players?
    Am I missing anything? Is there any DGW scheduled?

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Good fixtures and double in GW35.

      Man Utd, MID and Palace will have a double in GW34

      1. El-Kloppico
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Ohh. cheers!
        Is the DGW35 confirmed?

        1. Paul
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          not confirmed yet but most likely i think

    2. bojack
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      11 games left and they're a decent side. One player is probably enough like.

      1. The Head-Ake
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Double in GW37 actually
