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).

The full first round results can be viewed here, while the full second round draw can be seen here.

    Morata, Daniels and Ramsey OUT
    Kun, Kenny and Richarlison IN

    Good moves?

    1. Lone Wolf
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      I wouldnt make any of those even fo free except Ramsey > Richarli

    2. chilli con kone
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      No. Not Kun. Too much of a headache and cheaper city mids

    3. Jaunty Jonty
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Nah.
      Morata will outscore Kun and Daniels over Kenny

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

      Kun is is fraught with risk

  5. The Royal Robin
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Cedric > Kabesele done. Any hits needed? I'd be selling Moreno or Wilson if I was taking hits.

    Pope
    Maguire Kabasele Christensen Alonso
    Salah Zaha Sterling Richarlison
    Kane (C) Morata

    Foster Carroll Wilson Moreno

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

      Nope. Id put Wilson ahead of Carroll on the bench though.

    2. chilli con kone
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      No i think Wilson will start so bench is ok

  6. chilli con kone
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Any help on any or all of the below would be much appreciated.

    Will they start this week - yes or no?

    A. Lascelles
    B. Mee
    C. Rudiger
    D. Alex-Arnold

    1. chilli con kone
      • 10 Years

      Thanks everyone x

    News on Kiko Feminia?

    1. chilli con kone
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      50/50

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

    Is Speroni nailed? Thinking of switching Elliot for him

    And who would you pick for next gw:

    a) Son vs BHA
    b) Martial vs BOU

    1. chilli con kone
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      No and Son

  9. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    So you think that with Mee and Kiko I will be without defenders this week...?

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

      Silva said Kiko is still days away.

      Mee I’d give 60% chance of starting, doubt Dyche will rush him back.

    2. chilli con kone
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Atleast one or both will play imo

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

      Mee has a better chance than kiko from what I read

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

      Thanks!

    In fact not a fan of how this FPL cup will work at all... If you keep getting drawn against low GW scorers then you'll increasingly be up against teams who have a lot of players who blanked (whereas most of yours probably came in).

    Reversion to the mean and all that probably leaves you screwed

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

      It's a random draw.

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

        Random draw but based on your GW score so not random. See the hot topic

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

          Interesting, might just be for the 1st round. I ran competitions with the same system in the 1st round. You only need to play someone who plays a chip for seeding to be close to meaningless.

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

          It's actually based on GW rank. Your GW score could be negative.

      2. Yellin' in my Ear
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        It's not by hot topic

    2. Touré De Force
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      If reversion to the mean knocks your team, it doesn't deserve to go deep anyway

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

        Reversion to the mean knocks everything

        1. Touré De Force
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Anything above average beats the mean surely?

  11. Jaunty Jonty
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Elliot / Foster
    Simpson / Tarkowski / Otamendi / Jones / Naughton
    Hazard / Salah / Sterling / RLC / GroB
    Kane / Morata / DCL

    2FT.
    0.8 ITB
    Any ideas?

    1. Dog and Fox
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Upgrade a gk, Nice looking team btw

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

    Fabianski
    Bellerin Otamendi Alonso
    Salah Ritchie KDB Mane
    Abraham Morata Firmino

    Elliot Carroll Ake Zeegalar

    1 FT & 0 ITB

    Which option is better?
    A Abraham > DCL
    B Ritchie > Gray
    C Something else

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

      a

  13. The Royal Robin
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Is Alonso going to be benched?

    1. Lone Wolf
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      I'm afraid of that

      1. The Royal Robin
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        It's a lot of money to just be wasted.

        1. Lone Wolf
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          think I'm selling. he is out of form and out of Conte's trust too

          1. JM11
            • 6 Years
            6 years, 5 months ago

            Think its possible, but being he was pulled early (after getting a yellow) and had a rest champions league last week, I'm running him out there vs hud. He's on 4 yellows now, so one to watch anyways.

  14. Jimjam
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Pope (Elliot)
    Otamendi, Mustafi, Jones, Moreno (Tarkowski)
    Hazard, Salah, Sterling, Richarlison (RLC)
    Kane, Morata (DCL)

    1FT, 0.0

    Can I save FT, or do I need to deal with Moreno/Mustafi?

  15. wulfrunian
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    What's happening with Gray?Can we trust him?

    1. Touré De Force
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      With our pensions??!!

  16. BT
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    2FT, 1.0 itb. Best moves here?

    Daniels, Naughton, Mee*, Kiko*, 3.9*

  17. The Royal Robin
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Is Salah expected to start on Wednesday?

    1. Yellin' in my Ear
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Why wouldn't he?

    2. Robben Mee Blind
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Got withdrawn early on Sunday so would expect so

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

    Captain Sanchez or Kane...??

    1. el polako
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Can Brighton park the bus ?
      Havent watched a single game involving them so genuine question.

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

        They’re not looking great at the moment.
        Could be another Kaning...
        Just looking to do a bit of catching up...

        1. el polako
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          In that case out of those 2 I would probably go with Kane.

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

            It’s the 2.8% ownership that’s attracting me...
            Could be a massive climb in the rankings

    2. Ronnie Hotdog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Sanchez got a hattie at WHU last season.

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        LAST season.......

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

        I know... 😉
        He’s definitely fit the armband v Newcastle but think he could be about to go ape...

    3. JM11
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Kane no question. Brighton looking tired, spurs looked better. West ham look better and Arsenal are poor away from him.

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

        Cheers.
        I’m struggling with this..
        Have it on Kane atm..

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

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

  20. Rainer
    • 7 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

    Night off for him tomorrow? 🙁

    1. Robben Mee Blind
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      He was going to be my Ramsey replacement! 🙁

    2. Pierce34
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      He also added that it's up to players like Deeney, Gray, Pereyra and Carrillo to do more to help Richarlison. So I don't think he meant Richarlison has to be benched.

    3. Over Midwicket
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Fork my life. Just brought him in for a hit.

    Why is Son starting now days?...is this permant for time being I he worth bringing in for Ramsey long term?

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

      Toby injured so 4 at the back

  23. pakornk
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Is Zaha and Richarlison still worth keeping?

    1. Touré De Force
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Y to both around that price bracket

  24. The Royal Robin
    • 8 Years

    Who would you sell first?

    A) Wilson
    B) Moreno

    • 9 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    0.6 m in The bank 1 ft

    Jones out for Otamendi or should i try to get someone in for Moreno?

    Courtios Elliot

    Jones Mee Moreno kiko Kenny

    Silva Salah Hazard Gross Richarlison

    Kane Morata Dcl

  26. Blanka
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Play RLC or Niasse?

    Any particular reason Niasse was subbed at half time? That bad or tactical?

    1. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      A bit of both. Liverpool had all the possession in the first half and the Everton defenders were just clearing the ball aimlessly up the pitch for him and DCL to chase.

  27. klavan
