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).

    Have 2FTs. which two would you get rid of:
    A: Moreno + Daniels
    B: Moreno + Gross
    C: All three for a hit

    Defenders you would like to bring in (in priority?)
    1) Smalling
    2) Masauku (ARS)
    3) Gomes/Robertson
    4) Kenny

    1. Ibracadabra
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      A. and 3 with Gomez.

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

        A4

    How many GWs does the official FPL cup contest last for...is it just a few GWs?

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Til the end of the season I believe, so 22gw’s

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

        That's good, will make it interesting!

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Chances of any FFSers making the last 8 are quite slim.

    2. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Until GW38 I believe

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

      My opponent does not have Kane or Hazard...looks to be fairly dead team...except Cout, Salah and Aguero...

      If I lose to this dead team, I deserve to be buried!

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

        My FPL opponent has Begovic whilst I have DDG

        Let the GW commence!!!

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

    Moreno and Choupo out:
    A: Gomez and Lingard in
    B: Smalling and RLC in
    any advice would be appreciated 🙂

  4. cescpistols111
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    G2G? 0FT, 0.3 ITB. Play Gross or RLC?

    Fabianski
    Azpi Ward Femenia
    RLC Hazard Salah Sterling
    Kane(c) Lukaku(v) DCL

    Elliot Gross Zanka Mbemba

  5. SkeletONv01

    6 years, 5 months ago

    I think people that are getting Otamendi in are seriously chasing points here, obviously he cant score goals every week, and i would not look at CSs from him. Your opinions? Would you try to get him in if you didnt have him?

    1. The Wise Owl
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Thank you.

    2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      I don't have him. Not too worried at moment

    3. Delph & Safety
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Most goals scored by a defender, and there is hardly fantastic options available atm.

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

      I was told this 2 gws ago. He's scores 2 since and he's a player the idiots at FPL love . I felt I was forced into it as I couldn't take the pain no more 😉

    5. A.T
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Yes because the goal threat has been coming for a while. Wish I got him ages ago when I first noticed it. 🙁

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Exactly I got him in about 4 gws back for his goal threat

    6. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Well, I have had all 4 of his goals, and CS as well, so I am really very happy indeed!!! 😀

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

        Well play Doos

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

    Kenny or Gomez? Gomez seems a good option but is he nailed?

    1. william prunier
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Kenny

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

      Gomez not nailed rotates with TAA. Gomez also plays CB to give rest for Liverpool CB's. Matip now injured Lovren has been injured and Klavan not that convincing so good change Gomez can get some minutes also as a CB

    3. Dr. Conundrum Caveat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Apparantly not, but did not play GW 15...

  7. Delph & Safety
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    What to do with 1FT and 1.4 ITB?

    Fabianski Elliot
    Alonso Kiko Maguire Daniels Ward
    Salah Hazard Richarlison CM RLC
    Kane Jesus DCL

    thanks for any advice

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

      Save or ship Daniels out.

  8. Fred the Red
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Why so much interest in Kenny when Everton just got their first two clean sheets of the season recently?

    1. Paul
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      cheap starting defence improving

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

      Cheap

    3. william prunier
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Form fixtures and price

    4. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Group think

      1. Ibracadabra
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Don't think so, I bought Kenny before GW14 for Phil Jones (inj) because he passed the eye test - looked committed, was and is cheap, and big Sam will make them difficult to break down. A superb option IMO until Seamus Coleman is fully fit.

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

          Didn't want to bring him in for this week as Kenny has been playing quite a lot recently. I think Holgate might start as a RB and Jagielka, Williams, Keane takes 2 CB spots against Newcastle. Prob bringing Kenny in for the weekend though Everton fixtures aren't optimal for the festive period.

    5. Delph & Safety
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Eh yeah the big sam effect

  9. Bolasie
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    A, Otamendi and Mariappa
    B, Jones/Mustafi and Kabasele

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

      A

  10. Deulofail
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    1FT. 0.8 ITB. What would you do?

    A) Daniels > Masuaku/Ogbonna/Kenny/Chilwell
    B) Gross > Wilshire/Lingard/Gray
    C) Gross + Azpi > Coutinho + 4.4 (Masuaku etc) (-4)
    D) Save

    Hennessey
    Azpilicueta Otamendi Ward
    Hazard Salah Richarlison RLC
    Kane Morata DCL

    Speroni | Gross, Mariappa, Daniels

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

      Save, you have 11 players

      1. Deulofail
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Aye. That rules out A for me, but not the rest. Option B and C provides me with players that would improve my starting XI (Benching RLC)

  11. GE
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Moreno -> Kenny (-4) worth it when I only have 10 players if Mee or Morata is not playing?

    1. william prunier
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Effectively only a minus 2 then

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

        Yup, worth it?

  12. lordkippe
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    I have decided to get rid of daniels for now. Who do I get in ?

    A : Christensen
    B : Jones
    C : Kenny
    D : Wimmer

    1. The Wanton Trader
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      A for sure...

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

      A or C and use money elsewhere

    3. william prunier
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      A defo if no che def
      If so then Ken

  13. Ibracadabra
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Any others still own Lukaku?

    Had so many defensive injuries (Stones, Mustafi, Jones, etc.) + GK issues (Elliott, etc.) that I kept him through this barren spell.

    Looks like I'm still holding now due to fixtures / Pogba imminent return + defensive issues to take care of but not confident about his prospects.

    1. Delph & Safety
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      He lacks confidence atm, but is hardly getting great service from his teammates.

    2. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      I’m still an owner but got him in for Newcastle at Home so had a Goal&Assist since I bought him in, kept him through the rough so hoping he hits form again, no other ST’s are exactly on fire currently (Kane owner too)

  14. ooooo
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Which one?
    A) Gross + Kiko
    B) Gray + Mustafi(When fit),,

  15. Wild Rover
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Hahaha, that Maradonna statue makes the Ronaldo effort look like a Michelangelo 😀

    1. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Looks more Kevin Keegan than Maradonna

      1. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years

  19. Hurricane Gilbert
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Did you know that Benteke is on negative points (-18) in the BPS system so far this season? Zero goals and zero assists in 851 minutes 😆

    1. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      He should be on -746 for that penalty alone

  20. Stupendous
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Ok here or need a change? 1ft and 0.0itb. Still have WC!

    3. TorresMagic™

      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years

      Ramsey probably out and lots of meh/rotation risks.

      1. Stupendous
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Seems I need to make some moves thanks

    Penny for your thoughts? Defence needs work.

    Pope
    Christensen, Dunk, Daniels
    Hazard, Salah, Sané, Richarlison, RLC
    Kane, Morata

    Subs: Speroni, Abraham, Fernandez, Moreno
    2 FTs, 0.1m ITB

        Thanks both!

  22. FirminoIsBetterThanYou
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Which West Ham defender would you get Ogbonna (Nailed) or Masuaku (OOP, but maybe rotation risk)?

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

      Haha,see below, don't know

    2. Ibracadabra
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Don't think Masuaku is a rotation risk - he looked good in recent weeks. Ogbonna is 0.1m cheaper so that may sway me. I am considering one of them next gameweek in place of Francis (BOU) just think it is one week too early with Arsenal midweek.

    3. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Masuaku. But I actually got Adrián ... 😀

    4. The Wanton Trader
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      I brought in Masuaku GW14...
      Moyes loves him..

    5. william prunier
      • 8 Years

      Avoiding due to blank gw

      1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Surely you can bench them that 1 GW?

    6. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Ogbonna. Fonte out until the new year.

    7. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      I just got Masuaka based on discussion on here

  23. GE
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Ogbonna, Masuaku or Kenny?

    1. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Kenny

  24. william prunier

    6 years, 5 months ago

    When do the yellow cards suspension reset?

    1. Ibracadabra
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      End of calendar year I believe.

      1. william prunier
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Whaaat! Thought it was gw 19?

    2. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      GW 19, Dec. 23rd. 2:00pm.

      1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        - scrub the time.

      2. william prunier
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Sweet. Fingers crossed then, sweating on Morata & JanV

        1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          I fear that Morata may well be rested ...

          1. william prunier
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 5 months ago

            He's due, wasn't his injury linked to high volume of games following a long spell as a super sub.

  25. DV8R
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Need a midfielder at 5.9m or less. Already own RLC.

    Any ideas?

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Young?

      1. DV8R
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Interesting. Could be a good differential as well

        1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Lingard is 5.8.

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

            But surely Lingard is a rotation risk and short term option? need nailed on players going into xmas season

            1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              6 years, 5 months ago

              Fair enough. 🙂 Young is fairly nailed ...

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

                A Young punt could be shrewd

          2. DV8R
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            6 years, 5 months ago

            Rotation risk surely?

      2. The Wanton Trader
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        This.
        Should be back to his wing back role this week...

  26. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Anyone trusting Hazard with captaincy?

    Chelsea have no hard game except for Arsenal till the end of February, I think im going to stick with Hazard(c) during that time 😀
