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.

      After Okazaki's performance, I wasn't sure. But he's likely too.

    Play:
    A) ota (tot @ Home)
    B)Gomez (bou away + unlikely to get rotated again)
    C) Mee (BHA away + fit again)
    D) lingard (WBA away + points potential, but also cameo potential only..)
    E) richarl (hud @ Home but doubt to start)

      Don't do. Stay

        No City cover though...

  5. paza12

    Vardy or Firmino? Cheers.

    1. Pilgrim62
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Vardy

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

      Vardy

    3. Pariße
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      I usually prefer players from bigger clubs, but the busy schedule means Firmino is going to be even more prone to rotation. I'd pick Vardy.

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

        Firminio

    4. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Firmino for me.

  6. FPL Virgin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    The John Lewis advert is a travesty. There's only one man who can sing Golden Slumbers.

    And that's Sir Paul.

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

      Gascoigne?

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        😆

    2. Funkyav

      Daniels?

    3. Naboo
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Hollywood?

    4. Naboo
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      McKenna?

    5. Naboo
      • 13 Years

      Weller?

    6. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      I like the Elbow version, I also really like the Rufus Wainwright cover of Across the Universe from the Samsung ad

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

    Kiko + Ramsey >> Jones + Shaqiri -4

    Yay or nay

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

      Wouldn't do it for a hit.

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

        Even if neither Kiko or Ramsey going to play?

  8. FPL Mentor
    • 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

    C. Richarlson & Ward 》 Groß & Valencia

    D. Richarlson & Wood 》 Antonio & Diouf

    E. Other suggestions.

    1. Pilgrim62
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      C from this list

  9. Super Silva
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Is Long a good choice for Mbemba replacement. Not a pretty transfer when I can do Sane to Mahrez. But if I do this then I cover rotation. What to do ??

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      No, he will be benched when Mee is back.

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years

        Like this weekend

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

      Will lose his place as soon as Mee is back

      Some people own Mee & Long so one will always play

    Who's this guy on the scoutcast?

    1. Jay_
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Ben Stokes. Seriously though, HOF #1

      • FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        When will they let me on?

        1. Back on the horse
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          maybe you could get on Chapelle's?

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

      Possibly the biggest fook up of my season but season is going so bad it will hardly be noticed.

      Rooney is in my team.

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        For who?

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

          Morata. I don't rate him tbh and I have Hazard.

          Its afforded DDG for Hennessy which most my ML had and 1.6m itb for city coverage nxt gw.

    3. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Bench:
      A ota (goal potential despite spurs)
      B richarl (doubt but wouldn’t wanna miss a return in case)
      C mee (fit again)

      D lingard (differential potentially)
      E Gomez (likely to start now)

    4. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Commando on film4. Greatest film ever. Camp, unhinged Bennett and that steel drum score.

      "Remember when I said I'd kill you last, Sully? I lied!" 😀

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        You need to watch more films. A LOT more

        1. FPL Virgin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Greatest film of all time, in your opinion, W.R.?

          1. Twisted Saltergater
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            8 years, 2 months ago

            I think that's an impossible question! It depends on your mood at the time.

            1. FPL Virgin
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              8 years, 2 months ago

              It's not hard. It's 12 Angry Men.

              1. The Bandit
                • 15 Years
                8 years, 2 months ago

                Good choice although it contradicts your op 😉

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

                Great film.

                1. Funkyav
                  • 16 Years
                  8 years, 2 months ago

                  most people would agree the best film ever is either 12 angry men or commando. Covers all the bases.

          2. The Bandit
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 2 months ago

            One Flew over the Cuckoos Nest, Godfather 2, The Good the Bad and the Ugly

      2. Funkyav
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        not even Arnie's greatest film but it is good fun and very quotable.

        Havent seen it for ages!

        1. FPL Virgin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          I'm mesmerised by the steel drums!

      3. Jay_
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Great film, childhood favourite. Universal soldier, Rocky, Terminator, Kickboxer etc, all that era, was great. It’s a hell of a shame now that most of my childhood favourite action stars are doing silly bread and beer adverts.

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

            Blood Sport > Kickboxer

            1. Jay_
                8 years, 2 months ago

                Classic. Van Damme was thee man

                  I like how he manged to somehow do the splits in pretty much every single film he was in.

                  1. Jay_
                      8 years, 2 months ago

                      He’s even kinda doing it now in the Coors light ads (snow angels) Cheesy AF though. Ruined the hero image I had of him in my mind.

              Scene at the end when he’s walking along that beach with white vest and smoking a fat Cuban.

              Old Chief: ‘Leave anything behind for us John?’

                Not mustafi? He’s the one I’m most confident on playing after wengers comments

            Is Luke Shaw an option or is he just one bad game away from another 6 months in Jose's wilderness

              • 8 Years

              He will be sold soon so he's in the shop window.

            Okazaki to fix Niasse problem. Should get good minutes after last game under new manager

            1. Maddi Son
              • 8 Years
              8 years, 2 months ago

              Surprised people are overlooking him. At 5.4 he's hardly a risk.

                  More than Niasse

            Ogbonna or masuaku??

            That is the question...

              WHU fans will said Masuaku. I couldnt get him because 0.1M 🙁

              8 years, 2 months ago

              If the extra 0.1 doesn't benefit you anywhere, go with Masuaku.

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

              Nothing about Masuaku stats say he's worth 0.1 more

              • 9 Years
              8 years, 2 months ago

              Ogbonna will get more baps, Masuaku has slightly more attacking potential

            Azpi and Daniels -> Christensen and Jones (-4)?

              Shaq by a distance for me

              Cam, I like it. Morata may not get back in the team this weekend and not having Dear Gea is an absolute rank killer.

            Daniels, Sane -> Silva, Jones (-4)?

            Have some other issues to address as well. Morata healthy? Carroll, Naughton, and Mbemba stinking up my bench. Can't afford after tonight's price rises.

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

              Yes

            do okazaki and d gray play the same position?

            1. zotter
              • 16 Years
              8 years, 2 months ago

              No

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

              Yes. They have been rotating by the looks of it

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years

              Read the scout notes. Do your research.

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

              Okazaki is a no10 or support striker, Gray is more a wide man.

              Signs aren't great for Ward, Mariappa and Naughton should provide adequate cover. I'd consider a Foster switch or Elliot
