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).

    Anyone with any idea as to whether Aguero might go down tonight?

    Next GW I plan on replacing him and Coutinho for Morata and Hazard, for which I currently have the exact amount of funds.

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

      there's a chance, yes

  2. Un De Sceaux
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Going to go against the grain and bring in Ryan Shawcross

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

      stoke's defense is in shambles

    2. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      best of luck

  3. YouReds
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Start RLC or Niasse?

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

      Rubean..

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

      have both, starting rlc

    3. YouReds
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Thought so, just wasn’t sure if Niasse was going to start after having a rest.
      thanks both.

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

    Would you expect Demarai Gray to start the next two or is he too much of a rotation risk? (team news has him benched but he's started 6 of the last 7)

    And what about Lingard?

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

      It's just somone opinion like predicted lineups on net

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

    Would appreciate any ideas folks...
    Have 2 fts and 0.5 itb..

    Pope Elliot

    Azpi Mee* Kiko* Mustafi Duffy

    Salah Ramsey* Sane Zaha Richarlison

    Kane Niasse Morata...

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

    How would this team look if Mustafi is fit?

    DDG
    Azpi Otamendi Mustafi Ward
    Hazard Salah Richarlison Gray
    Kane Morata

    RLC and DCL rotate with Gray,

    1. Leonard hatred
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Fairly template, so gtg?

      1. Leonard hatred
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Unless you're chasing, then you will want some differentials.

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

          Not sure what comes under chasing..

          Also Gray is 1.2% owned.

          1. Leonard hatred
            • 6 Years
            6 years, 5 months ago

            Chasing would be trying to catch up in your ML or something - I'm the only one in mine still under 900 points, so I'm looking for some non template options to close the gap.

            Re. Gray, fair shout but not sure how many points he'll bring in tbh.

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

              Oh right. I'm doing fine in ML so I think I'll stick

            2. DAN DARE
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              6 years, 5 months ago

              Must be a very small ML. Im on 904 points and 2nd out of 30

  7. rivercityransom
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    so moreno is going to be out for a while, then?

  8. NachoMan
    • 8 Years

    What would you do here with .1 ITB and 1FT
    The front 8 is a rotation nightmare.
    Not too happy with the defence either, especially my call to get Monreal over Otamendi last week.

    Pope

    Alonso Monreal Mee

    Salah Sane Sterling Hazard Richarlson

    Morata Firminio

    Pereira Niasse Kiko Dunk

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan

    Need a Ramsey replacement. Planned to get pogba for him when back.
    1.0 itb 1FT

    Best option?
    A.) Ramsey > Son

    C.) Save and play RLC
    D.) Something else?

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

      Could do worse than Son for a week until Pogba back

    2. raoulduke71
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

    1. thomashl
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      With his price fall I'm tempted by B. But you can't go wrong with either

    6 years, 5 months ago

    So we are not panicking with Silva statement on Richarlison?
    Even though we have Morata
    And two playing on bench?

    😀

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

      Replied with the full quote in your last post. No reason to panic.

      Full quote:

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

      "It's not only him to solve the problems on the pitch. We need to solve the problems as a team, players like Deeney, Andre Gray, Carrillo and Pereyra need to take the decision and solve the problems for the team and take some pressures away."

      That to me doesn't indicate rotation per se.

    Is Stones going to be back any time soon? Him/DDG/Christensen is a nice defensive backbone that doesn't cost an arm & a leg
