Free Yahoo FFS Holiday Cup

Fantasy Football Scout have teamed up with partner game Yahoo to set up the inaugural Holiday Cup contest.

Free to enter, this is a single-entry contest and there’s a total of £500 up for grabs in the contest, which takes place over the next four Gameweeks.

Scoring will be cumulative over the four rounds and your one lowest score will be dropped – that means you can afford to have an off-day and still profit.

The top 20 overall will earn winnings, with £50 going to the manager at the summit.

And the top 15 entries per round also receive prizes, with the top scorer from each of the four Gameweek rounds winning £10.

Crucially, it gets underway on Saturday December 23 at 12.45pm, when Everton entertain Chelsea at Goodison Park and finishes on Wednesday January 3, when Arsenal host Chelsea.

This means that, over the span of Gameweek 19-22, there are two Premier League matches excluded from the Yahoo FFS Holiday Cup contest – Arsenal vs Liverpool on Friday December 22 in Gameweek 19 and Spurs vs West Ham on Thursday January 4 in Gameweek 22.

The starting times of each round are as follows:

Round 1 – Saturday December 23 at 12.30pm
Round 2 – Tuesday December 26 at 12.30pm
Round 3 – Saturday December 30 at 3.00pm
Round 4 – Monday January 1 at 12.30pm

Please remember that Fantasy managers must select a new team for each Gameweek before the round gets underway.

To get involved, click here.

We’ve previously published a Strategy Guide on the Yahoo game, though later in the week, we’ll also offer analysis on some of the overlooked players who have fared well in their Opta-driven scoring system to help you further.

For those yet to register, you can open an account and get started immediately.

You must be over 18 years of age, resident in the UK, and of legal capacity to register with Yahoo Daily Sports and open an Account. If you sign up, please always play responsibly.

    Gross to Lanzini ?

      Yeah...no reason why not...do it now.

        1 reason...

        1. Going Home
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          Just to check, charged basically means convicted with the FA, right?

            Appeal available until Tuesday 6pm.

            1. Going Home
              • 12 Years
              6 years, 6 months ago

              Can deal with effective one match ban - just glad the appeal process finishes before the 1/4 final

                • 6 Years
                6 years, 6 months ago

                Isn't it a two match ban for deceiving the official?

      1. Bruno Bruno!!
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks TM. didn't realise this

        1. Dr Dream
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          Crikey...I thought you'd have known...

          I was only joking with you....sorry...

    2. Football Weekender
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Lanzini is looking at a ban.

    3. liiusions
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Looks good, do it right now before Gross drops tonight

      1. The Hindu Monkey
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Don't do this. He is going to get banned.

  2. Messsiaah
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Kane+Rlc
    To
    Firmino+Sterling
    Do it for -4?

    1. liiusions
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Not sure if it's worth a hit, considering you'll be getting Kane back in for a hit in 3 weeks

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

      no

      1. Jimbo-Jones
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        I did this last night and feel good about it.
        I've got 3 weeks to find funds to do Morata/Firmino -> Kane, and feel City mid will hugely outscore Kane over next 3.

    3. Rash
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      I've done same move but Austin instead of firm as it makes the Kane back in 22 a straight swap with morata

  3. OPTA FPL
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Long is back, that legend gave me 17p in 2 GWs

  4. goriuanx
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    No Tarkowski = Kane goal?

    1. the snazzy viking
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Kane hat trick*

    2. The Hindu Monkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      What's happened to him?

    3. d3bug
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Mee will make sure that doesn't happen

    4. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      No Pope would equal Kane goal

    5. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Not good news for Mee owners...

    6. Fingerspitzengefühl
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Burnley did well defensively with Tark & Long, Mee & Long will probably work out too..but as a Kane owner I'm hoping for the brace 😛

    7. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      If its looking like Bards/Long/Mee/Taylor then it equals (K)ane!

      1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Certainly going to test Burnley resolve with 3 of the 4 regulars out. Just as well Mee got back in time...

      2. Ibracadabra
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Not sure I agree with this narrative. It isn't a significant drop-off. Long has played well, Bardsley basically has started the last month and returned a number of clean sheets, and Taylor looked good in 1.5 matches since Ward has been out. Of course, they aren't the starting team, but if any manager can organize a back four, even a second string one, it's Dyche.

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

      easy brace

    9. The Hindu Monkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      What has happened to him!!!@???

    1. liiusions
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      B I guess but one bad game and he's out the team for the next 2 months

    2. yemzinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      B

    3. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Gundogan. Thank me later

      1. Krafty Werks
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Surely he won't get the minutes though and be heavily rotated?

    4. Basil1977
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      I wouldn't get Lingard, cos Pogba is back this week and will take a midfield place.

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

        Pogba will take Herrera's place in central midfield. If Lingard is rotated, it won't be because of Pogba.

        1. Krafty Werks
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          What i thought, Lingard not at risk from Pogba? Played at least 70 mins last 5 GW's with 4 goals and an assist, form player for cheap could do well?

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

            Yes, he's been in my team for the past 2 GWs at least. I agree that he's probably one bad game away from losing his spot, but is in form right now.

      2. Rash
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Pogba will take Herrera place

  6. liiusions
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Will Tark get flagged today? Need that 0.1 rise

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

      I'll email them now.

      1. liiusions
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Please don't, they may not have noticed he's getting banned

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

          They aren't that asleep tbh.

    2. d3bug
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Will be flagged

    3. Bruno Bruno!!
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      0.1m rise wont mean anything interms of SV as you probably brought him at 4.5

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

        Gives you more time to sell.

        1. liiusions
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          This, don't want to get rid until I have a spare transfer

    4. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Guessing, but there's usually a 24hr appeal period. Until an appeal is lodged/not lodged the suspension isn't rubber stamped.

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

    Fabianski
    Bellerin Otamendi Tarkowski
    Salah KDB Mane Ritchie
    DCL Kane Firmino

    Elliot Carroll Ake Zeegalar

    Which option is better?
    A Mane > Sterling FT
    B Ritchie > Lingard FT
    C Mane & Ritchie > Sterling & Zaha -4 hit
    D Zeegalar & Mane > Christensen & Sterling -4 hit

    1. the snazzy viking
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Tarkowski ➡ Masuaku

  8. Ibracadabra
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    No City assets in my side at the moment, debating (c) between Hazard and Kane, any strong opinions one way or the other?

    1. Red Dagger ✪
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Sell Haz for a City asset.

      1. Ibracadabra
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Haz still looking dangerous and Morata should be back for EVERTON which will help Eden. Not sure I want to sell Hazard for a City asset for -4, but will monitor midweek games to see if there are any injuries, etc.

        Another option is Lukaku at Leicester I guess since Pogba will be back and he has scored in his last two...

        1. Red Dagger ✪
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          Yeah, a Pogba + Lukaku combo could be very interesting.

    2. Fingerspitzengefühl
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Anyone else you can cap? Hazard is up against BFS and a more defensively sound Everton at home. Kane is up against one of the better defences in the league, but without Tarkowski. If you have to, go with Kane

      1. Ibracadabra
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Another option is Lukaku at Leicester. Bad week for the (c) for me. Had KDB, Jesus and Sterling at various points in the season but no City assets at the moment...

    3. trinzoo
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Don't like any but let's see Everton performance tonight.

      Burnley lost 3 goals so far at home...

  9. trinzoo
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Still no leaks what happened to D. Silva ? My captain for next GW if he's fine...

    1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      In custardy for abuse of Sterling...

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

        did it involve custard?

  10. Salarrivederci
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    (K)eep (K)ane and (K)aptain him! Image if they would line up with only Ben Mee as a regular starter 😉

  11. Nolberto Solano
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Which option?

    A) Kane & Arnie
    B) Lukaku & Pogba

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

    Will Tarkowski be banned for 3 games or will it get overturned?

    1. liiusions
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Almost certainly getting banned

    2. AllanM
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      I guess you didn’t see it

    3. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      He'll get banned. They can appeal but don't think they will, it was blatant.

  13. ♤TeddyBear♤

    2. Nolberto Solano

    1. Rainer

    2. Salarrivederci

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      No rush to get rid of him but other good options are available in his price bracket.

  17. It’s gonna Ben Mee

      6-1 Liverpool

    6. Costa in Wengerland

      4-2 liverpool

    7. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      2-2. A good attack V a potentially brutal defence if Klopp persists with the high line. A very good attack V an average defence.
