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.

    Anyone brave enough to go with a maverick captain choice this weekend?
    Someone who isn't Salah or Auba basically.

          Kind of leaning towards Auba purely because most of my ML won't have him whereas they have Pogba and Salah...

          He'd be my choice above Salah though - with Milner on the pitch and their luck running out I think he's going to be limited

                  I actually love Liverpool and want them to win the league. No one can disagree with the fortune they've had though. Lots of injuries, sure, but nothing major to their front 3. Imagine they lost Salah, Firmino and Mane at the same time like Spurs lost Kane, Alli & Son.

                    Even the United win... they were superior but if it hadn't been for two ridiculously lucky deflections they would have drawn that game

        True, luckily for me my ML rival currently doesn't have Salah or Auba, although I suspect he played the Aguero/Auba hokey cokey thing.
        I'm considering Rashford, but slight concern with the CL game on Tuesday.
        I want to go full maverick and captain JWP.

        That's the one mate. I don't think the beginning of Feb is the time to think too different. Personally I think Salah will haul. Other players like Son, Auba may too. Though Salah has never blanked 3 PL games in a row this season and it could leave you kicking yourself. Next week is a great time to look for a differential. And several other weeks too

    Just seen on BBC that Cardiff face a transfer ban if they don't pay the sala fee...£10mill.
    Can a club like Cardiff afford to pay that amount? Is there any precedence to this?
    It's not fair to either club I guess. But Cardiff did buy him. Would there be any kind of insurance for this kind of thing?

        That Albrighton news has made Gray a little more appealing from GW27.

            Yeah I think Pereira and maybe one of their cheaper mids - Gray or Barnes - is probably the way forward.

        Sane out for Mane a good move?

        Other issues are TAA and Auba. 1 FT.

        Alisson - Hamer
        Robertson - Kolasinac - Doherty - Bednarek - Wan-Bissaka
        Jota - Pogba - Son - Sterling - Salah
        Rashford - Jimenez - Kamara

        Apart from Hamer and Kamara, who else am I benching? Thanks for any advice!

        Sane-> moutinho?

        Gives me enough to afford kamara-> auba next week, and I can then just bench aguero for his blank and keep him.

        What are poples thoughts about moutinho? Could also just get a fodder, but already have camarasa

        TAA is starting for me if I save the FT

        Subs are Valerie then Alonso

        Would you do Alonso to Newcastle defender free?

        I have 5 blankers next week

          Robertson, Doherty & Laporte. Could make a case for AWB over Laporte depending how you see the game/s going. Alonso shouldn't still be in your team.
