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.

    Best option. Need to take some risk:

    Fabianski, Elliot
    Smalling, Jones, Ota, Dunk, Kiko
    Haz, Salah, Cou, Richa, RLC
    Kane, Firmino, DCL

    a) Haz, Richa -> Pogba, Silva
    b) Haz, RLC -> Pogba/Silva, WHU mid
    c) Haz, Richa, Kane -> KDB, Silva, Lukaku -4

    G2G this week? Did Morata+RLC->Austin+Sterling. Bench is looking very weak this week

  5. EL tridente
    • 6 Years

    Jesus to firmino or morata?

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

      See how midweek goes. Jesus could start vs B'mouth.

    Bottomed and my xi is a dilemma

    Have I got my current xi right?

    Pickford
    Bellerin, Azpi, Jones, Tarkowski
    Sterling (c), hazard, salah, young
    Kane, Rooney

    Subs: naughton, rlc, hemed, elliott

    Going to drop one of Azpi / Bellerin soon to swap young for pogba in the near future

  7. le flem

    Crazy to trade Pope to Adrian?

    1. FC Lackless [BALEGIUM]
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      he rotates brilliantly with pope ... who's your other keeper?

      1. le flem
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Elliott

    2. AlCapwnUK
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Not necessarily crazy, but a bit of waste of a ft

      1. le flem
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        He frees up funds to get Jones, but I don't know

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

      Not crazy, I'll probably cash in on Ward with their coming fixtures.

      Pope does still have great save potential though.

      1. le flem
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        I agree, but fixtures aren't good, and I feel a team of Burnley's level aren't going to be as intense once they hit 40pts.

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

    Im out of the cup if Rooney scores this evening. Hopnig the Scout Picks curse delivers a hammer blow

    [posted in wrong article]

    In GW20 my keepers Fabianski and Elliot face Liverpool and Man City.

    Get Adrian in for a good GW20 fixture and DGW22? Although with his blank in between I'd need Elliot to start in GW21.

    1. Coaly
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah Adrian until then, Elliot in the blank has a good fixture.

      Solid

  10. Maddi Son
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    What's my best option from the following (Or other suggestions welcome)

    A) Kiko, RLC, Shaqiri, Morata >> Holgate, Pogba, Silva, Depoitre
    B) Kiko, Shaqiri, Morata >> Holgate, Silva, Firmino
    C) Morata, RLC >> Quaner & De Bruyne.
    D) Hold.

  11. theruffler
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Plzzzz help

    A) lukaku, Sterling, richarlison

    OR

    B) firmino, KDB, Sterling

    Mini league depends on this!!!

  13. Nicoson

    Gross to Lingard?
    Or somebody 7.5 max?

  14. Tibbs
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Thoughts on this for -4?

    Niasse / Francis / Kabasele >>> Jones / Ogbonna / Quaner

    Note exciting but defence is a mess

  15. AlCapwnUK
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Most nailed West ham defender?

    1. Weasel51
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Ogbonna or Zab

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years

      Reid.

      1. Rainer
        • 7 Years

        Forgot about Zabaleta.

    51, currently on a red.

    Kenny and DCL - will I see green?

  20. Fred54

    6 years, 6 months ago

    Out of LMS.

    Only 10 playing despite full bench.

    Embarrassing.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years

      Went further than over 3000 others.

      1. Fred54
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        I know mate. If I just stopped at Ward > Arthur I'd still be in it.

        To be honest been clinging on last few weeks.

      2. Optic1
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        95th this week in LMS with DCL to play.

        How many left in the league?

  21. AlCapwnUK
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Anyone planning triple captain on Kane or using free hit for GW 22?

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

      Hot topic has a few.

      1. AlCapwnUK
        • 10 Years

        Thanks, missed this

    2. Tibbs
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Not unless I see a significant uptick in form...

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

    Get rid of which one?
    A) Haz to Coutinho
    B) Morata to Bobby

    Getting Sterling

  23. Monkey Hanger
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Holgate still keeping Keane and Jakielka on the bench. Liikely to continue or not?

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

      Chelsea might change that next GW.

  24. +
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    I know we're a little way off yet, but which West Ham players are most likely to play 180 minutes in the DGW?

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

      The CBs

      1. +
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Vulnerable to Fonte's return, though

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

          Apparently won't be back for the DGW I think.

  25. Patch
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Go on DCL take no prisoners, use that extra inch (on Niasse) to stretch Swansea apart.

    1. Exeter Gently
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Thats what she said

  26. Exeter Gently

    So i accidentally activated free hit chip, by using fpl on my phone and the proximity of the buttons on screen. As a result, who are the key players to get in this week? I lost kane for austin and went heavy on city and utd. Good plan?

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

      Maybe a couple Palace/West Ham as they will be cheap and are playing Swansea/Newcastle respectively

  27. HD7
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    G2G?

    De Gea
    Ota Kabasele Ogbona
    RLC Sterling Richarlison Salah Hazard
    Kane Morata

    Subs: Elliot, DCL, Daniels, Mbemba

    Kane or Sterling as C ?

  28. Coaly
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Which is best?

    a) Kane RLC to Austin KDB
    b) Kane RLC Richarlison to Depoitre KDB Pogba -4
    c) Kane RLC Richarlison to Austin Sane Pogba -4

    Then are any of these worth a hit?

    1) Fabianski to Adrian
    2) Kolasinac to Otamendi
    3) Ward to Masuaku

    Thanks

      I own him, and fear 2, just cos of probabilities, and to make it burn even more, it seems that quite a few others own Niasse and are getting fortunate RLC points off the bench. I need to think through my decisions better!

    Anyone know who michael keane is challenging for a place in everton defence?

    1. Fresh_From_Desh
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Holgate, maybe Williams.

      I have Holgate in my squad do hopefully it will be Williams!

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 7 Years

        It won’t be

    2. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Holgate. He should take his spot soon enough

      1. Fresh_From_Desh
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        You reckon if Everton continue to play well and win Sam would change?

        Rotating due to schedule is fair enough
