FFS Cup

FFS Cups – First and Second Round Draws

On the day that the Fantasy Premier League cup go underway, we can now reveal who made it through to the second round of our own Fantasy Football Scout Cup, while also revealing the qualifiers and first round draw for the Members tournament.

Members Cup, Round 1

Joining previous winner Malaikat jihad in Gameweek 17’s first round of our Members Cup are the 511 managers who hit the qualifying score threshold of 58; with a rank of at least 1,116 required for those who reached that score.

Our former champion is currently among the lowest placed competitors with a rank of 3,697,022, which makes him the underdog in his Round 1 clash with 70,999 ranked Drieet.

A further scan of the round one matches reveals that Mark and his 51,461 ranked side has an encounter with 618,607 placed Tacalabala, while Paul (ranked 592,890) has a far closer tie against Grumpy Camel (ranked 534,105) and similarly my 12,722 placed side will square up to Christobisto (ranked 31,961).

In total there are six top 1,000 ranked managers in the Members Cup, with 33 placed Heroes & Villains the highest. However, he will not have it easy in the first round as he takes on Fozilla28, who has a highly respectable rank of 11,932.

The full first round draw can be found here.

Fantasy Football Scout, Round 2

Meanwhile, the first round of our open to all FPL cup took place in Gameweek 16 and saw two former winners, A manager has no name and donnellyc, depart.

Of our remaining six former champions, Mark will take on 422,997 ranked m4rkyp in Gameweek 17’s round two draw, while I square up to Brucey99, and Sleepysi (44,471) faces 10,206 placed Wain’s Wonders.

Wild Rover (ranked 255,811) has a tough match with 1,432 placed AnytimeScorer as does 519,134 placed Ninja_Fit_Saints, who clashes with 5,475 ranked nrundle.

Finally, among our champions, 51,263 placed Gribude will fancy his chances against Maggits, who is 1,385,868th in the overall rankings.

The highest ranked manager in the competition is 82nd placed Whats the mata, who saw off Ryssel in round one to set up a tie in the second round with Toby Lerone (35,204).

    Elliot (Fabianski)
    Azpi Jones Otamendi Mee (Mbemba)
    Salah Sterling Ramsey Zaha (Surman)
    Kane Morata (Niasse)

    Have been so unlucky with transfers recently, any ideas to sort this out? Ramsey probably needs to go

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Downgrade Azpi and Ramsey to Mahrez/Coutinho

  2. F4L
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Didn't even qualify for the FPL cup, let alone the FFS cup 😎

    1. Stockport Hatter
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      You're not alone. I share your pain.

    2. Pumpkinhead
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      The past 4 years I've been knocked out because of auto subs and vc from dead teams. I don't even pay attention to it

    3. G-Whizz

      I hear you, it's more luck than judgement imo...

    4. Patch
      • 6 Years

      What was the FPL qualifier score?

      1. foley200
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Ffs cup? 58 I think

        1. foley200
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          (That’s members cup)

          1. Patch
            • 6 Years
            6 years, 5 months ago

            Ah ok thanks trying to find the FPL one...the generic official one...

            1. foley200
              • 6 Years
              6 years, 5 months ago

              Oh right not sure. Top 2 million or something

            2. Patch
              • 6 Years
              6 years, 5 months ago

              FML I am matched against someone with:

              OR: 320,251

              I just made it into the million mark...

  3. L'Aeroplanino
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Milivojevic seems like a better option than RLC with both @ 4.6

    1. F4L
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      totally reliant on pens tho, and Benteke not taking them off him

      1. L'Aeroplanino
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        shares some set-pieces too but yeah.

  4. HD7
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Who will you C next week? I have Kane Salah Cout Hazard Morata...

    I will probably go with Kane
    P.S wont be surprised if Morata or Hazard turns out the best C pick after week has ended

    1. F4L
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Kane fo sure

    2. Rash
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Salah for me.. ignored him for long enough

  5. Pat Bonner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Out of both with 54 this week!

  6. Going Home

    Pope (Elliot) Azpi Mee* Kiko* (Wimmer Naughton) Ramsey* Sterling Salah Richarlison (RLC) (K)ane Firmino Morata 1FT 0.9 itb Thoughts on Naughton and Ramsey to Kenny and Silva for -4? Don’t like hits for defenders, but it’s needed to fund silva and also Naughton May have to play if Mee and Kiko aren’t fit/due to rotation and could score negative points. Cheers

  7. HD7
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    All of us who decided to make Sane/Sterling to Coutinho and double with Salah... Assemble!
    and motivate each other

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Wish I had done that. Went Ramsey instead and now can’t afford straight swap to coutinho!

    2. Rash
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Sané to coutinho last week o/

  8. Dele

    Repost from the last article:

    Sakho >

    A) Gomez
    B) Kenny

    1. F4L
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      A , Pool's defence much more solid

      1. Dele
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah, I prefer Gomez, just fear rotation this GW.

        I have Sakho & Mee injured so need someone who is guaranteed to start.

  9. The Wanton Trader
    • 6 Years

    Robbed...!!

    1. Wild Rover

      1. The Wanton Trader

  10. Turns
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Thoughts on this chaps:

    (A) Daniels -> Kenny
    (B) Daniels -> Gomez
    (C) A/B + Fabianski -> Gomes

    Elliot
    Kiko - Daniels* - Mee
    Salah - Gray - Sterling - Hazard
    Kane - Morata - Vardy

    Subs: Fabianski* - Naughton - Carroll - Mbemba

    1. F4L
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      C with B

    2. Going Home
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Do C with Gomez to get the Gomes Gomez pairing

    3. Turns
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Thanks. Should've said would need to take -4 for C. Still go for it?

    Fabianski, Elliot
    Otamendi, Christensen, Daniels, Mee, Mariappa
    Salah, RLC, Hazard, Richarlison, Sterling
    Kane, Morata, Niasse

    1FT, 1.4 ITB. What move should I make?

    A) Daniels > Jones

    C) other idea

    1. gwitbrock
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      both!

    2. F4L
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      don't get Jones imo. Probably just B, maybe RLC over Austin

    3. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Nice team. Probably B. Austin or DCL

    4. Lazaretti
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Daniels out to Gomez, Kenny, Simpson or Kiko Femenia

  12. Lazaretti
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Who to Captain?

    A) Hazard
    B) Salah
    C) Kane

    1FT 0.9 itb

    Thoughts on Naughton and Ramsey to Kenny and Silva for -4? Don’t like hits for defenders, but it’s needed to fund silva and also Naughton May have to play if Mee and Kiko aren’t fit/due to rotation and could score negative points. Cheers

    4. gwitbrock

      Sold... my house to buy enough whiskey to drown my sorrows on ever having bought him.

      1. Leonard hatred

        I have lacazette.

        Now I live in a caravan.

        Ha. When did you buy him? Hes got a load of points this season, mind.

    5. Superflymonk
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Holding as long as price doesn't drop. Got bigger fish to fry with kiko and mustafi out, I don't like the idea of fielding Dunk who has a penchant for own goals to a devastating tottenham attack. Waiting for pogba's return. He's the only decent player i see worth getting around that price range.

    6. Your Mum Zohore
      • 10 Years

      Upgrading to Hazard

  15. Don Kloppeone

    Repost from last article

    Narrowed down to 3 options - help me out!

    A) Pope > De Gea

    C) Save FT

    1 FT £1.4 itb
    Pope*
    Alonso, Smalling, Ward
    Salah, Hazard, Silva*, RLC
    Kane (C), Morata, DCL

    I'll prob go with the majority opinion!

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years

      C

    2. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Why would you sell pope or silva this week? Got to be C

    3. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Thanks for the sanity check!

    Is Mariappa nailed or will Britos be a threat to his place?

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Think they have a few coming back from injury so not nailed. Kenny for 4.3?

      1. My Name Is Prince
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Same for Kenny, surely? Baines and Coleman...

  17. The Rumour Mill
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    46 (-4) and won my first round match. I think I can count myself rather fortunate!

  18. foley200
    • 6 Years

    Made it into the cup by a point. Missed out last week. ‘Royal Flush’ where you at? I’m coming for you in round 1!

  19. ooooo
    • 6 Years

  23. My Name Is Pepu
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    FPL Cup opponent has already made 30 transfers this gameweek. That's a good minus 116 already.

    1 less thing to worry about. 😉

    1. I Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Wildcard or Free Hit incoming. You're done for.

      1. Rash
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        This

      2. My Name Is Pepu
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Nope, checked it. He's already exhausted Free Hit in GW6.

        Lad makes 100s of transfers every week. His points tally for the season is minus 1000 or something.

          WTF? lol

    2. Mayo for Sam
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      More than likely going to use WC/free hit before deadline. If not happy days!

      1. My Name Is Pepu
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Nope.

      he had a gw where he got a gw rank of 10k wiht no hits and still got a red arrow 😆

  24. Scotty B
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Who has to go first?

    Fabianski
    Bellerin Otamendi Alonso
    Salah Ritchie KDB Mane
    Abraham Morata Firmino

    Elliot Carroll Ake Zeegalar

    1. My Name Is Pepu
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Abraham or Ritchie

      1. Scotty B
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Agreed. Which one?

        1. My Name Is Pepu
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Tammy first

          1. Scotty B
            • 12 Years
            6 years, 5 months ago

            > who at that price?

            1. My Name Is Pepu
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 5 months ago

              I like Austin at that price, irrespective of his fixtures.

              DCL if you want someone cheaper which might be a good strategy.

  26. Mayo for Sam
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Sterling > Coutinho worth a -4?

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      why ?

    2. F4L
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

  27. as33
    • 8 Years

    Moreno to Scott Dann?

  28. Pat Bonner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Silva on Richarlison: "We need to manage him if we feel he's too tired. He doesn’t look tired but we cannot expect a player with his skills to play at a high level all the time, it is not possible. We need to take care of him, as he’s 20 years old." #watfordfc

    1. Rash
      • 7 Years

          • 7 Years

        2. AzzaroMax99
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          I already did Ramsey to Richarlison, so que sera sera 🙂

          But how sure are you that Son starts as well? He played in the champions league and more than 80 mins against stoke. The last midweek fixture he came on as a sub. Not trying to be a downer but I can see the Son move ending with a lot of curses. Don't forget that spurs have city next after tomorrow. Do we expect him to play all of those games while th likes of kane and eriksen have had their rest?

            It’s def one I need to look into. I’m not 100% convinced with son but last season when he hit form he played pretty much every game. Not sure if there were other injuries in the team tho.

              I think Son starts.....he has a positive effect on Kane, just
              look at the last three GWs and CL with Son in.......
