Amid a hectic schedule of three Gameweeks within a congested ten-day period, we take time out to reveal who has made it through to the third round of our Fantasy Football Scout Cup and the second round of the Members tournament.

Fantasy Football Scout Cup, Round 3

Two former winners bow out at the second round stage after Wild Rover lost 56-39 to AnytimeScorer and Brucey99 edged past me in a closely fought 44-43 encounter.

This leave a quartet of ex-champions to go into battle once again, with Mark (ranked 37,201) squaring up to Marc Overmata (ranked 120,182), while Gribude (ranked 64,335) has a tough tie against 3,917 placed anthonyheredia.

Sleepysi (ranked 46,917) faces 632,206 placed stephane and Ninja_Fit_Saints (ranked 487,709) encounters FDMS All Starz (ranked 106,873).

Round three’s giant killer to watch out for is Toby Lerone (ranked 76,724), whose Gameweek 17 tally of 33 was enough to see off the second round’s highest placed manager Whats the mata, who plummeted from 82 to 575 in the overall rankings after scoring just 26. Toby takes on the role of Goliath in the next round when he squares up to 262,622 ranked TDJakes.

The highest ranked manager in the competition is now Elvarus, who takes his 154 ranked team into a round three tie with 299,521 placed warsworn.

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

Members Cup, Round 2

There will be a new name on the Members Cup this time around after previous winner Malaikat jihad was beaten on rank after matching his round one opponent Drieet’s score of 48.

Another high profile manager to fall at the first hurdle is the leader of our FFS Members league Heroes & Villains, who, with a rank of 31, was the tournament’s highest-placed manager. His score of 55 was not enough to overcome 8,085 ranked Fozilla28’s tally of 57.

The round two draw also sees Mark encounter the similarly placed Deanamo Jammy (ranked 32,363), while I take on Gypsum Fantastic (ranked 97,128) and Paul (ranked 476,219) faces 19,188 placed lonecomander

The competition’s new top placed manager tisza (ranked 197) will surely fancy his chances against 728,296 ranked Big Mac 24.

Other notable match ups include a top 10,000 clash between the Scoutcast’s Az and community regular Zoumasbloomers, and former FPL champion Tom Fenley’s tie with Spike.

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

    Should be a midweek GW every week

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      No . I had a shocker.

  2. Oven Glover
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    I’ve broken one of my few FPL rules this week. I’ve bought Shaqiri. He’s about to get injured again, folks. Happens every time I get him into my team. Owners beware.

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      cheers for the heads up

      1. Oven Glover
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Glad to help

        1. F4L
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          he's great value tbf. Will be my Rich replacement if Silva's comments go south tomorrow

          1. Oven Glover
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 2 months ago

            Don’t say I didn’t warn you 😉

    2. George James
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Literally about to pull the trigger. He’s a great option..... isn’t he?

  3. arndff_
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Who would you keep, and why?
    A) Mee
    B) Naughton

    Who would you want, and why?
    1) Ogbonna
    2) Masuaku

    1. MiguelAngel
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      A1
      Points and nailed on

    2. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      A - He has goal threat, and Burnley are just so strong defensively.

      2 -I'm a West Ham fan, so watch them both. Masuaka is the pick, he is OOP and playing brilliantly. Will definitely return some attacking points soon along with the clean sheets we seem to be starting to get under Moyes. He won stay at 4.4 for long.

      1. arndff_
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks a lot. Unfortunately, if I keep Mee, I can't get Masuaku -- 0.1M short. So my options are:

        (a) Daniels, Naughton > Christensen, Ogbonna
        (b) Daniels, Mee > Christensen, Masuaku

        What would you do here? I can post my full team too, if you want to see it.

        1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          You have your team linked so no need to post it, thanks.

          Hmm, tricky situation.

          I think B - Masuaka honestly sways it for me, he looks too good to ignore. And Burnleys fixtures are so ugly for the next 9 weeks you would hardly play Mee anyway....

          1. arndff_
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 2 months ago

            Also, I haven't played my WC yet, so I can buy him back then... Hope it won't backfire as DSilva > Cout.......

            1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              8 years, 2 months ago

              Your in a nice position with a wildcard still in your pocket! Good luck mate!

              1. arndff_
                • 14 Years
                8 years, 2 months ago

                Thank you! Good luck to you too. 😉

      2. Pierce34
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Do you see Masuaku as nailed? By that I mean, will Moyes use the wingbacks in the easier fixtures as well, or shift to a back 4 with Cresswell as a left back?

        1. barracuda
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          He is actually better at LW...

        2. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Masuaka is better than creswell.

          If I can see it, then David Moyes definitely can lol.

          1. arndff_
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 2 months ago

            Mate, would you answer my Q? Thanks!

            1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              8 years, 2 months ago

              Yes, I'm just thinking lol. Tricky question!

              1. arndff_
                • 14 Years
                8 years, 2 months ago

                Ah, fine! I'll wait. Sorry.

            2. Pierce34
              • 10 Years
              8 years, 2 months ago

              Sorry mate didn't mean to hijack your thread!

              1. arndff_
                • 14 Years
                8 years, 2 months ago

                No worries.

          2. Pierce34
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 2 months ago

            I mean, I can see it too, but Cresswell being English etc. etc. Same as with Hart preferred to Adrian. It was really a fluke that Adrian is now the preferred choice because of the Man City game that Hart was unavailable for.

            1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              8 years, 2 months ago

              No, Adrian is not playing by fluke. Adrian is playing because he is better than Joe Hart.

              Moyes will pick his best players and him picking Adrian is an example of it.
              Masuaka won't be dropped, he's too important right now.

              1. Pierce34
                • 10 Years
                8 years, 2 months ago

                Fair enough, you've convinced me!

              2. arndff_
                • 14 Years
                8 years, 2 months ago

                And Ogbonna -- will he be dropped?

                1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 11 Years
                  8 years, 2 months ago

                  I honestly couldn't say. Fonte and Collins luring.

                  I think fonte is a threat more than Collins.

  4. WE GO FOR IT
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Sell Morata or wait till presser and take price drop(will lose SV)? If former, sell for whom?

    1. Dr. DOOM
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      I'm keeping.

    2. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Videos were released of him training today, I think he starts.

    3. WE GO FOR IT
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Cheers both! 🙂
      I'm keeping him!

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

    Who's watched Everton recently? What formation have they been playing under big Sam, and where has Rooney been in that formation?

    1. JJO
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Somewhere in the middle

      1. Pierce34
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Like, middle in a 4-3-3, or more like a no. 10 in a 4-2-3-1?

        1. JJO
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Something between

    2. justlikehoney
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Played wide right against Liverpool but has been playing from central midfield with the license to get forward in most games this season.

      1. Pierce34
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks. I am tempted if he keeps this up, but this reverse OOP does scare me a bit...

  6. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Wish I had got Wild Rover in the Cup 😆

  7. justlikehoney
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Should I do the following for a hit?

    Kane + Choupo >> Laca + Mahrez

    Works nicely to have Mahrez this week and then possibly change him to a Pogba or one of the City mids depending on how things go.

  8. MiguelAngel
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Bench one:
    A) Gomez
    B) Mee
    C) Otamendi

    1. aleksios
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Mee

      1. MiguelAngel
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Fit to play by all accounts

    2. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      A - pool aren't as solid away from home. Think bournmouth will nick one.

      1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        1 clean sheet in 8 away games this season....

        1. MiguelAngel
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Thanks dude

      2. MiguelAngel
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        That’s my thoughts. Currently benching Gomez

  9. MrKlin of Norway
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Another day for the underdog. See I've got myself another tough nut to crack, and freshly wildcarded at that. Think I just felt two drop, and they are stainless steel, wish me luck.

  10. Jet5605
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Speroni or Elliott as second keeper?

    1. aleksios
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Speroni

    2. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Well Elliot doesn't actually play anymore....

      1. Jet5605
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Yes but Darlow in poor form and could get dropped

        1. how now brown cow
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Would still choose one who is playing now over one that might in future.

    3. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      1 plays 1 doesn't.

  11. aleksios
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Alonso and Richa to Ota and Silva gives me this for a hit -exact cash-

    -Foster
    -Ota-Jones-Kola-Kabasele
    -Silva-Salah-Hazard-Gross
    -Kane-Morata.
    ----Elliot---Lowton---Rlc---CL.

    Go for it?

    1. MiguelAngel
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Aye

  12. Henning
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    1.7 m in The bank

    Courtios Elliot

    Jones Otamendi Kenny Masuaku kiko

    Silva Salah Hazard Gross Richarlison

    Kane Firmino Dcl

    Kiko and Courtios out for degea and Christensen /Monreal

  13. Dr. DOOM
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Sold Ward for Jones. Good decision?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Too late now

    2. aleksios
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Yeap

  14. ViperStripes
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Kiko or Ward, which one to ditch? i.e. which is least likely to play this weekend?

    I'm thinking Kiko, because profit tied up in Ward and presser suggested might be back.

    Kiko just continues my dire run of defender choices in that slot. Jones (injured 1 week later) > Mustafi ( got 1 game from him) > Kiko > 1 game again! Aargh.

    1. George James
      • 11 Years

      DDG and Haz are notable absentees

    2. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Upgrade Zaha or Carroll

    3. ooooo

      8 years, 2 months ago

      Bobby to Morata

  19. Tabbara
    • 9 Years

    Start Lowton ahead of duffy?
    Will play mee

  20. Feloh
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    just looked at the fixture ticker and am tempted by Richarlison to shaqiri as a differential.

    1. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      He's been playing well, got all the set pieces and good fixtures. Could be gold.

  21. ooooo
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    So do Azpi + Rich to Christ + Sterling(-4)?

    DDG
    Christ Otamendi Ward
    Hazard Salah Sterling Gray
    Kane Morata DCL.

    Elliot RLC Yedlin Dunk...

  22. Frank Koscielny

    Would you wildcard this lot now or wait? If yes - any tips to what I should do? Both mee and Daniels set to drop tonight

  23. camarozz
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Best replacement for Morata?? Need cash to improve sinking ship.

    1. Oven Glover
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Rooney. He’s going to be a great captain on your next sinking ship.

  24. MiguelAngel
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Vardy > Roonpig for a free?

    1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Definitely not.

      Leicester vs palace this week!?!

  25. FPL Mentor
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    What to do?

    Foster Elliot
    Christensen Mee Ward* Mariappa Mbemba
    Hazard Salah Coutinho Richarlson* RLC
    Kane Firmino Wood

    1FT 2.2m itb

    A. Richarlson & Ward 》 Shaqiri & Musaku -4

    B. Richarlson & Foster 》 Mahrez & Gomes

    E. Other suggestions

  26. Guigui
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Starting to be fed up by Kane...

    1. Monkey Hanger
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Top pts scoring forward.

    2. Pea Soup
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Transfer him out then

  27. jose1
    • 11 Years

    What’s the chances of Pogba dropping to 7.8?

    1. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Very remote.

    1. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Less injuries, 3rd season in the PL and got some consistancey

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        thanks

  30. Pea Soup
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Hello.

    I have a midfield consisting of:

    Sane Salah Hazard RLC & Richarlison.

    To whom should I transfer Sane, who is my only City player?

    1. +
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      I'd keep him, but if you're gonna sell I'd say either Sterling or Silva

    2. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Sterling or Silva. It's sideways but a City mid is a must.
