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.

    Do you prefer:

    A. Lingard • Morata

        • 8 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        We also think of Morata as a potential candidate for rotating against huds dont we? Coul also do Vardy instead of Bobby but Pool will outscore Leicester right?

      I'm not so sure about Son, with the return of Lamela and the fixtures. A blank and City and Burnley away in the next 5.

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

      B - but then if you want Cout as well, that would probably mean 'pool double up as I assume you have Salah

    1FT and 0.8ITB

    Foster - Elliot

    1. Ibracadabra

      6 years, 5 months ago

      Kiko next 3-4 weeks look good.

  6. DeadStarComing
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    What's people's thoughts on Adrian at West Ham? How likely is it he will still be playing ahead of Hart by the time their double comes around?

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

      Quite likely

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

      Likely.

  7. Top Lad Dakes.

    Captain/VC?
    3.8ITB + 0FT ; GTG or changes needed?

    Elliot
    Jones // Azp // Gomez // Ota
    Richarlison // Haz // Salah // Lingard**
    Jesus // Firmino

    Bench: Fab // Mee // Surman // J. Ayew

    **Brought in Lingard as a possible differential due to Ramsey injury for my FT

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

    With Courtois as my GK, I have sold the likes of Stones.Jones.Mustafi in recent weeks and gone with an admittedly (extremely) budget defense.

    WARD - FEMENIA* - KENNY (Francis - Mbemba)

    A) Francis -> Mariappa OR Masuaku/Ogbonna
    B) Femenia -> Mariappa
    C) SAVE for FT flexibility, if Femenia misses out, Francis at Old Trafford or Mbemba (unlikely) home to EVE will come in for 1-2 pts.

  9. Mr_Majestyk

    G2G? Appreciate your thoughts

    Pope
    Otamendi Ward Christensen Gomez
    Hazard Salah Sterling Rich
    Morata Kane

    Elliot Niasse RLC Dann

    I have 2 free transfers 0 ITB

    1 – Dann to Kenny or Masuaku
    2- Dann/Niasse to DCL/Kenny
    3- Save

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

      No need to sell Dann now, he will start with Sakho out injured; could save the money and go for Tomkins at CP though, or Kenny, etc.

  10. For Fuchs Sake
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Wilson to Wood and Daniels to Kabasele for -4?

    Quick GtG...
    Got to get up early.
    People going to want their Xmas cards and Amazon s**t...

    DeGea
    Maguire Masuaku Tarkowski
    Hazard Sanchez Salah Young
    Kane(c) Rashford DCL
    Elliot RLC Daniels Dud

    Good luck all....

      1. The Wanton Trader

        Cheers...... 🙁

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

        Depends on FTs. Preferably you could sell Daniels to someone and play ahead of Masuaku. But GTG if on 0FTs

    2. n-doggg
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Like it

      1. The Wanton Trader

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

      No Sanchez captain?
      I guess its fine as owning him is differential enough

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

        Yeah that might change...
        Eleventh hour decision... 😉

        1. yakirh

  18. sminkypinky

    You lot think Christensen is a safe bet? Won't be rotated?

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

      Dunno. But I am prepared to risk it.

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

        I think I am too... a lot of love for Azpi from me but Christensen enables Ota.

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

          Exactly. 😀

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Safe enough, down to 11 🙂

  19. Dybala10
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Is Lingard worth a punt? I can't believe I'm asking but United's fixtures are brilliant.

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

      But is he nailed?

    2. william prunier
      • 8 Years

      Trouble is pogba takes a spot soon

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

      If your team is all set, he probably is, yes.

  20. Hargo
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Bench one:

    A. Mee
    B. Joselu
    C. RLC

    1. Kavorka
      • 8 Years

      Mee

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

    Is Gray a good punt?
    Might do Choupo to Gray instead of Gross

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

      Good punt. Personally would go with Wilshire for the ride

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

        It's a trap, he still won't start him

  22. lasmons
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    I sold Otamendi when on WC - and regret it now. How to get him back in the team?

    Courtois - Elliot
    Christensen - Mee - Duffy - Daniels - Zeegelaar
    KdB - Sane - Salah - Richarlison - RLC
    Kane - Morata - Niasse

    a> Daniels + Courtois -> Ota + Gomes
    b> Daniels + Sane -> Ota + Son
    c> Christensen + Daniels -> Ota + Gomez
    d> Other?

    Leaning towards A as I already have a CHE def.

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

      C

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

        Cheers. Might just go for that. Thanks.

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

      Can I ask you who you think the best West Ham defender is for next few fixtures?

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

        I would go for Ogbonna or Masuaku. Prob Masuaku as he is playing LWB.

  23. Pranav Santhosh

    Pope Elliot
    Christensen dann mee naughton mbemba

  24. Jimjam
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Gomez or Kabasele in for Moreno?

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

      I have Gomez.

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

        Would you sign gomez or kenny?

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

          Gomez.

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Both strong picks. I like Kabasele as more of a goal threat, but can't go wrong with either.

  25. n-doggg
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Struggling over Cout or sterling. Who would you fill here
