FFS Cup

FFS Cup competitions reach final weekend

We have reached the final weekend of the Fantasy Football Scout cup competitions.

After the semi-finals took place in the divisive Double Gameweek 25, we are down to just two contests in the public and Members tournaments.

Public FFS Cup

Very fine margins could determine the next winner of the public FFS Cup.

Going into Gameweek 26 there are six players present in the squads of both finalists Get It Inter Ya (981) and Man-Chest-Heir F.C (124,414).

They are Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£4.5m), Leroy Sané (£9.7m), Paul Pogba (£8.7m), Mohamed Salah (£13.6m), Raúl Jiménez (£6.7m) and Marcus Rashford (£7.8m).

But interestingly, there is further overlap in their defensive coverages.

The tie’s favourite Get It Inter Ya has Matt Doherty (£5.3m) and Virgil van Dijk (£6.5m) while his opponent is in possession of Andrew Robertson (£6.8m) and Ryan Bennett (£4.1m).

Both managers may have to make a call on Sané after his disappointing Double Gameweek 25 performance, while Get It Inter Ya may also want to factor in his Chelsea double-up into his transfers.

Neither one of David Luiz (£5.9m) or Eden Hazard (£10.9m) will play in Blank Gameweek 27 after their difficult trip to Manchester City this weekend.

No transfers have been made by either finalist at this stage.

FFS Members Cup

There are plenty of interesting battles all over the pitch to be fought between FFS Members Cup finalists Jay # (59,782) and Jambo17 (99).

The pair took slightly different approaches to Double Gameweek 25, with the former covering it with a double-up of Sané and Raheem Sterling (£11.3m).

However, his opponent Jambo17 did not have the disappointment of owning the German international, Triple Captaining Sterling as well as owning Aymeric Laporte (£5.9m) and Sergio Aguero (£11.4m).

Jay # will likely look to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.2m) as his answer to facing Aguero, although his opponent does have the possession of Pogba over him, who faces a plum away tie at Fulham.

    Good luck to those in the Cups!

    1. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I'm still in the FPL cup (more through luck than judgement) - does this extend to me too?

      1. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Yes.

  2. OPTA FPL
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Waiting for TAA flag removed

    1. EgyptianKing
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Any news from Klopp?

    2. Richd
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Press conference at 1:30, no?

      1. EgyptianKing
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I think so yes

        1. Richd
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Cool. I hope he’s fine.

          I dunno if I can trust Valery to be subbed in, great fixture v Cardiff. But was benched last week.

          1. EgyptianKing
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Yeah I hope TAA is find and starts. I’ll start him

  3. Big Col
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    What to do with this lot?

    Fabianski, Button
    Robertson, Doherty, AWB, Digne*, Balbuena*
    Salah, Son, Martial, Richarlison*, Brooks*
    Rashford, Mitrovic, Aguero*

    £2.7M ITB FT Used - * = Wont play in GW 27 - so need to take a hit!

    Any Suggestions?

    Could do Richarlison to Eriksen -4, then Aguero to Auba next week for free

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Richarlison -> Pogba

  4. AFC49
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Which 2 to bench?

    TAA
    Doherty
    Shaw
    Digne
    AWB

    1. Richd
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Klopp will help you at 1:30 if TAA out. That’s impossible to call

    2. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Bottom 2 (AWB first sub)

    3. avfc82
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I'd bench Digne and AWB, just.

    4. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      D, E with D first sub for me

  5. Totti
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    will aguero start or jesus might start?

    so
    A) aguero -> auba for a hit
    B) play aguero

    1. Richd
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      B. See below post for my take on it.

    2. avfc82
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Play Aguero.

  6. Richd
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Auba “being fine” is like saying sane is practically nailed imo.

    Remember Kanes cold last new year ?

    If you have him play but don’t captain
    If you don’t have, wait a week (esp if you have Kun)

    1. Totti
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      i did already sane -> son

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        He is talking about Auba

    2. EgyptianKing
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Emery saying he thinks Auba will be fine for Saturday is a good sign imo, no?

      I am still tempted to do Hazard and Kamara out // Auba and fodder in (-4)

      But still undecided... Think is a wrong move?

    3. altan8797
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      did kun+rich to laca+son and pretty happy. for now

    4. Annie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Who is saying he's "fine"?

  7. wildnothing
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    How does this look?

    Lloris Steele
    Doherty Robertson Kola Digne AWB
    Salah Son Mané Pogba Jota
    Jimenez Aubameyang Rashford

    1. Richd
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Looks good. What a bench headache tho.

    2. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Nice.

      What’s your squad value? Must be wild.

      1. wildnothing
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers. 108,6.

        1. #FPLBhuna
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          wow.

          fair play

          1. wildnothing
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Thanks.

        2. pingissimus
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Not too many bad decisions there then! If you’ve also got points on the board that’s really some effort. Close to the model squad really if you factor out City.

        3. The Tinkerman
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          rank?

    3. Budweiser
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Wow what a team and 12k overall congrats bro

    4. fenixri

      Bb?

    5. Mo Mané Mo Problems
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Confused: is this a wildcard?

      1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Or a -12?

        As last weeks team has Llorente, Sterling, Sane, and VVD?

    Hi

    Help is needed please

    For the next few GWs (26-30) which combo of MFs would you choose out of this

    A Son
    B Pogba

    1 Jota
    2 Pereyra

    Any ideas would be welcomed

    1. Richd
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      B1

    2. Pishpott
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      B1

  9. King Kohli
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Best move here?

    Ryan Button
    Robbo TAA Doherty Bednarek Bennett
    Salah Sterling Pogba Sane Son
    Rashford Ings Kamara

    0 Ft 0.8 itb

    A. Ings > Rondon
    B. Sane > Jota/Anderson
    C. Anything else

    1. Salah4Ever
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I am thinking af a -4 to get laca instead of Sane

  10. BananaMan
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Assistance Req if you'd be so kind...

    Leno
    Robertson - WB - Doherty
    Salah (c) - Sane - Pogba - Jota - Camarasa
    Augero - Rashford

    4m - Alonso - Digne - Kamara
    2.7m ITB

    So next week will see me with 6 blanks, I have 1 FT this week and 1 next to get me to a starting 11.

    Who would you move this week and next?
    My current thoughts involve;
    1. Kamara -> Jimenez (Leaves me with 3 wolves)
    2. Kamara -> Batshuayi
    3. Aguero -> Auba

    1. MTPockets
        5 years, 1 month ago

        1

      • good biashara
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        1. Or save ft and give yourself room to manoeuvre next week..

    2. FPL ElasticO
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Which transfer worth doing for -4??

      A. D Silva & Niasse >> Auba & 5.3 mid
      B. Sane & Niasse >> Auba & Jota

    3. amplifiedAnt
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Fabianski (Button)
      Robertson, Doherty, TAA
      Salah, Sané, Pogba, Richarlison
      Aubameyang, Rashford, Jimenez
      (AWB, Digne, Puncheon)

      GTG? Correct bench order?

      Likely to gamble on TAA starting as Liverpool's clean sheet odds are so high.

    4. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Do you realise if you triple up on Liverpool and have double United yiou could end up with nearly half your team playing in one match in GW27 - Man U v Liverpool?

      Any plans do deal with this or not bothered?

      1. King Kohli
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        In the same scenario but with three attacking players out of 5, it should be ok I guess.

      2. MTPockets
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Still trumps mci/che/eve/bha picks

        • Now I'm Panicking
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Going to be a 4-4 draw, so it's fine 😉

        • fr3d
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Gw27 will be a sh1tshow anyway. Most teams will field 4-5 players from that game and also field bench fodders

        • Dr Dream
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          ...yeah but lots and lots will have a similar high amount...so it won’t really matter much.

        • Camzy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          I have 5 currently and not planning to fix it. Just gonna accept that GW27 is gonna be a bit rough. It's gonna be rough for everyone though. As long as you have Aubameyang to (c) I think it's okay.

        • Top Lad Dakes.
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          I don’t wholly expect clean sheets, and at the moment have Robbo Salah Rashford Pogba as many others likely do

        • #FPLBhuna
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          think most will be in this situation mate, is what it is

        • Forza
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          We might as well just see it as a win/win - either Liverpool do well and the triple up probably goes well, or they do badly and Pogba/Rashford probably get good returns.

        • altan8797
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          then we'll just have to hope that it would be a hell of a match!

          That being said, I'm gonna bench one of my pool defenders against utd. Won't mind pogba rash salah robbo all playing in the same match, they will still have high potentials in returns.

        • Jack Burton
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Not bothered loads in same boat get the tins in and enjoy

        • pingissimus
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Seriously contemplating a switch from Rashford to Arnie who has Fulham. Might even go for a cheeky captaincy as I won’t have Auba in all likelihood.

          Arnie is always a bit of an injury worry but the fixtures from 27 look great.

          A gamble of course as that match could be a 3-3 and not a 1-0

      3. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Aubameyang or Rashford?

        1. Camzy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Both. But Rashford if you must.

      4. lindeg
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        hazard to pogba -4

        yes or no

        1. good biashara
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          No

        2. Dr Dream
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Up to you.

          What I will say is that I watched the last City game against Everton and despite a CS City were really kak in defence....huge wide open spaces for most of the game...a better team than Everton would have knocked a couple in for sure imo.

          I can see another CPL result for them soon if they carry on like that.

      5. SpaceCadet
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Is this worth a -8?

        Alonso hazard Jesus > Monreal pogba Auba

        1. Jamb0
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Nope

        2. Budweiser
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          If you think City Vs Chelsea will be 0-0 then yes

          1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            If it's a 0-0, potentially that could be 6+3+1 (+8) = 18 for Montreal, Pog and Auba to outscore before breaking even.

            1. Goat
              • 6 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Plus the following gameweek

      6. benpurser
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Which 3 to play out of

        A) Digne
        B) Bedranek
        C) WB
        D) Doherty
        E) Tomkins

        1. Ten Season Wonder
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          C & D.

          Then flip a coin between A&B

        2. Jamb0
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          BCD

      7. Ten Season Wonder
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Thoughts on retaining Arnie this GW? or ditch for Jiminez

        1. child of God
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          I'd ditch

        2. Ain't No Holebas Girl
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Was actually thinking about getting him for a punt as I’ve got exact funds to upgrade Kamara after doing Haz > Son. He’ll either score or go off injured again. Already have Jiménez though and much prefer him if it’s a choice between the two.

      8. Chunnam
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Sterling and Ings to Jota and Auba (-4).
        Yellow flags are putting me off.

        1. Ten Season Wonder
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Jota is yellow flagged also no?

          1. Chunnam
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Auab and Jota are flagged

        2. La Roja
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Sterling vs Chelsea looks tasty

          1. Chunnam
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            So does Auba v hud tho :/

      9. Ten Season Wonder
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Should I retain Firmino for BOU or ditch for Auba?

        1. wildnothing
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Think I would keep Firmino now that Auba is a slight doubt.

          1. Ten Season Wonder
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            cheers bro

      10. child of God
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Is the Huddersfield gaffa an offensive or defensive type? Have the club's he's managed previously been solid at the back?

      11. WhySoSerious?
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        A) Sane to Son, keep Hazard and save ft.
        B) Hazard and Kamara to Auba and cheap mid, keep Sane.
        C) Both for -4. (Son, Auba And cheap mid for Sane, Hazard and Kamara)

        Thanks!

        Not too sure on my planned Aguero to PEA move after the illness news.

        Lacazette the obvious choice now?

        Stick with Kun?

        Or are people still going with Aubameyang?

        1. Royal5
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Keeping Kun

        2. I Member
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          I would stick with Kun.

            Would sell Sane, but not sure about Arnie as perpetually a bit injured

          Anyone following the pressers from today?

          Any useful information from Poch or Sari so far?
          Looking forward for an update on TAA.

          Alisson
          Trent Digne Doherty
          Salah Richarlison Anderson Pogba
          Rashford Aguero Jiminez

          Bench: Button, WanBiss, Deu, Luiz

          Question: Is Aguero and Rich to Lacazette and Son worth a -4?

            I'd play AWB over Digne. Everton suck.

            I don't think so these moves worth a hit. Roll FT imo and then you better ditch: Digne, Richarlison & Aguero for instance.

          Really want to take in Aubameyang but he's on a yellow (illness apparently).

          Should I get him or leave it a week. If I don't get him Richarlison would be in my starting XI 😐

            personally if you don't own, I'd avoid in case he's benched which, given it's huddersfield, is wholly possible

            Same for me. Either play Haz and Rich without -4 or Auba and Anderson with -4.

            Richarlison against old club, keeping for this one.

          Is it madness to bench Sané and play AWB/Bednarek instead?

              Agreed

            I wouldn't say its madness as Sane could easily miss out again but I wouldn't take that risk over a cheap defender

            I'm doing it. Can't see Sane starting. Pep will play his strongest team which at the moment looks like a front three of Bilva, Kun and Sterling.

            Lord AWB and win for Chelsea.

            No, AWB is a legend.

            There is a relatively high chance that AWB could get a clean sheet and Sane could blank. But Sane has a much higher ceiling, so depends if you want to aim high or play it (relatively) safe.

            Sell Sane.

              Requires a hit and I already have Son, Pogba and triple Liverpool

          Apropos of nothing, what is Stan Collymore up to these days? His wiki is surprisingly quiet on the issue, like he's edited it himself. One mention of his being a pundit and one sacking from five live for a reason that could take down this post.

          Ederson and Speroni are my current keepers.

          Would you:

          A) sell Ederson for GK to hold until I WC in GW30
          B) sell Speroni for a 1GW punt in 27 (thinking Dubravka) then play Ederson until GW30?
