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.

  9. Salah4Ever
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Help needed!
    Have Hazard, Sane and Aguerro
    The plan was to do Aguerro to Auba
    So is Sane + Ings to Laca +Jota worth -4
    Thinking of keeping Aguerro through the blank 27 to play 28 against Westham?

    1. TheBabyfacedAssassin
      • 16 Years

        Might be Son if i get him for hazard next week

  10. TheBabyfacedAssassin

    1FT, 0.2ITB.
    Fabianski
    Robertson, Kolasinac, Doherty, AWB
    Pogba, Salah, Richa
    Aguero, Rash, Jimenez
    subs, Haz, Tarkowski, Camarasa

    a) Kun > Auba

    c) Save / Other suggestions also very much welcome.

    1. beetlejuice
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      B with Son

  11. Louis Van Gaalstones
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Any Leicester fans, how is Pereira looking at the moment? His fixtures are amazing but I don't know whether he's playing as attacking as before

    1. Rains of Castamere
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I was at the game last week vs United (away end) and I thought Chilwell looked a better option but Pereira's PPG are really good.

    2. AuFeld
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Maguire has a better goal threat then Pereira, but Pereira is more likely to be involved in goals with the chances he creates.

    3. tokara
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      last game i didnt find Pereira attacking

  12. child of God
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Is the Huddersfield gaffa an offensive or defensive manager?

    1. JIMMY TUGGINS
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I doubt anyone has any idea, he was manager of Dortmund's reserve side before this. A quick glance at his wiki shows his jobs before that were at a fourth tier German side and then manager of Bochum's under-19s.

    2. suddenorgan
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I think with Huddersfield's squad you pretty much have to play defensively, they have a severe lack of creativity/firepower

    3. qchar
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      He suppose to be an offensive one. Unfortunately we dont have players who can score.

  13. EgyptianKing
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Hazard and Kamara out // Auba and fodder in (-4)

    Good move? Or should I just keep Hazard and do the move for free next week?

    1. suddenorgan
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      give it a week

    2. TheBabyfacedAssassin
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Hard to tell without looking at you're team.

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

        Ederson
        Robertson, TAA, Doherty
        Sane, Pogba, Salah, Son, Hazard
        Rashford, Jimenez

        Guaita, Bissaka, Bednarek, Kamara

        What do you think mate?

        Cheers!

  14. suddenorgan
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Starting AWB, TAA...

    Bench order is Richarlison, Hojbjerg, Digne

    Correct?

    1. MTPockets
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Would play Rich

        1. suddenorgan
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          may well come in for TAA anyway, would you play Rich over AWB?

          1. MTPockets
              7 years, 1 month ago

              yes

              1. suddenorgan
                • 15 Years
                7 years, 1 month ago

                I'm absolutely sick of the guy but I can see the logic, AWB doesn't offer much going forward and West Ham looked better last game

                1. MTPockets
                    7 years, 1 month ago

                    I don't have him to be fair, but surely still has more upside vs AWB

          2. Budweiser
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Not like it matters but Digne over Hojbjerg

          3. beetlejuice
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Rich over AWB

        2. Yellin' in my Ear
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Any update on Jota? Need to replace Brooks or Kamara so would you prefer:
          A) Mane, Moutinho, Kamara
          B) Jota, Jiminez, Brooks (plus money itb)
          Cheers all

        3. Rains of Castamere
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Spurs play Sunday and then have Dortmund on Wednesday. Son is absolutely crucial to them. Anyone think his minutes might be managed this weekend?

          1. MTPockets
              7 years, 1 month ago

              Hope so

            • ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
              • 11 Years
              7 years, 1 month ago

              Quite possibly - may get hooked early if game safe. Same goes for all big players playing CL midweek I guess.

            • Shatner's Bassoon
              • 7 Years
              7 years, 1 month ago

              Could also argue he will have had a much needed 8 days break before kick off.

              Maybe he'll get withdrawn if the game is safe, but even in that scenario it's likely he will have scored well.

            • suddenorgan
              • 15 Years
              7 years, 1 month ago

              People said the same over Christmas and Poch ran him into the ground

            • caldracula
              • 10 Years
              7 years, 1 month ago

              8 Days rest, Two games Sunday/Wednesday and then a 10 day break until their next game. He'll be fine.

          2. OldBenKenobi
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Just realised I made a mistake during my early transfer:
            Pereyra + Anderson > Son + Camarasa

            I probably should have done.

            Pereyra + Sterling > Son + Camarasa

            Guess it depends who scores more this week between Sterling and Anderson but I will likely be getting Anderson back in next week 🙁

            Fab
            Doherty Shaw AWB TAA

            Firmino Jimenez

          4. Rains of Castamere
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            From Pocchetino's press conference:

            "Harry Kane is nearly ready to play and could be fit for Burnley" (GW27).

            1. Richd

              Ooh blimey. Bye son

                • 10 Years

                this will make Son better

                  7 years, 1 month ago

                  Totally agree. Son, Kane and Eriksen on the pitch together is really good for fantasy returns (and for Spurs as a team of course).

              2. jtreble
                • 9 Years
                7 years, 1 month ago

                Kinda the opposite. :).

                1. Richd
                  • 13 Years
                  7 years, 1 month ago

                  Tell yourself that. I disagree.

                  That’s why the website is good. We can all have our opinions 🙂

                  1. Shatner's Bassoon
                    • 7 Years
                    7 years, 1 month ago

                    Don't suppose you caught the Everton or Cardiff away games for Spurs then?

                    1. Richd
                      • 13 Years
                      7 years, 1 month ago

                      I did. Past performance doesn’t mean future.

                      It’s why I TC Aguero and didn’t get Sane while many did the opposite

              3. Black Knights
                • 14 Years
                7 years, 1 month ago

                Having both got me 132 points from 7 games before United.

                1. Richd
                  • 13 Years
                  7 years, 1 month ago

                  It was a cracking run for both, can’t disagree with that.

          5. Forza Juventus
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Hazard to Son
            Aguero to Auba

            Both for free. Pull the trigger, yes?

            1. ☻ Jon Snow ☻
              • 10 Years
              7 years, 1 month ago

              Yes

            2. Nomar
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 16 Years
              7 years, 1 month ago

              I personally am not going to get rid of Haz, but if you are happy to sell him then, yeah, go for it.

            3. Goat
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 1 month ago

              I’d do Haz to Son and roll. Will have 2 FT’s then knowing all the information on FA Cup. Then can bring Auba in for Aguero to captain him vs SOU

              1. Forza Juventus
                • 11 Years
                7 years, 1 month ago

                Yeah strongly contemplating this, but a bit worried to go without Auba v Huddersfield (if he starts). Whereas i know City can score against anyone but i'm not sure i back Kun to do too much and then he blanks too.

              2. Forza Juventus
                • 11 Years
                7 years, 1 month ago

                Maybe i could do Haz to Son and Rich to Mane (since they're both free and he plays in all GW's). Then Auba next week. Then after that can bring in the relevant non-blankers slowly to GW31..

            4. MTPockets
                7 years, 1 month ago

                Would first look out for news on Auba training today/not

                  • 11 Years
                  7 years, 1 month ago

                  Saw an article that said he did, but yes, just waiting as long as possible for extra info on anything related to this..

                      Yes this is the one i saw, thanks! Appreciate the link.

                    7 years, 1 month ago

                    I think he'll play.

              • 16 Years
              7 years, 1 month ago

              Looks like I'm doing Sterling and Digne to Son and Kola with my 2 FT then....

              1. Goat
                • 8 Years
                7 years, 1 month ago

                Wouldnt waste a FT on Kola -> Digne. You’ll have so much more info next GW re. FA Cup

                1. Nomar

                  • 16 Years

                  Kola v Huddersfield though!

                Wouldn't get Kola in or any Arsenal play actually, haven't had one all season.

                Saying that I would get Auba in if it fitted with my team structure but it doesn't at the moment so going without.

              Poch on Kane.

              He said: “He’s doing well. He’s doing fantastic. We have to stop him every day, because he wants to be ahead of his recovery and he’s very optimistic and his determination to play as soon as possible is unbelievable.

              “If you see him, he’s nearly ready to play, but we need to be realistic too. I think he’s so close to come back again, not for Sunday and not for Wednesday, but we’ll see after.”

                He'll be back next weekend I reckon.

                Llorente owners on alert now.

                  Llorente owners should have been on alert since Son came back.

                  Kane in BGW27 could be a major differential.

                  1. Nomar

                    Yes as most will have Son.

                    Llorente owners should have been on alert as soon as they got Llorente.

                      I didn't want to be so harsh, I get abuse for my constant Llorente bashing.

                        Us Llorente owners have it under control we are the real deal

                  Probably not...more important in GW31 I think.

                  Klopp: "Trent trained yesterday first time. Didn't mention any issues/problems ... We need to see"

                    Sounds doubtful to start if he only returned to training yesterday.

                    7 years, 1 month ago

                    Unlikely to play after such a length of injury and only one or two training sessions?

                    1. Richd
                      • 13 Years
                      7 years, 1 month ago

                      Might as well give him the extra 9 days rest. Now I have a dilemma

                        Klopp has said he'll be 100% after Bournemouth

                          Well as Im playing BB I want 15 starters. Goodbye TAA it is.

                    The usual Klopp lines. Sigh.

                      You starting him Flap. Owning TAA has been rubbish I have to say. Klopp seems to say this every week.

                      1. Richd
                        • 13 Years

                        My other options are Valerie and Alonso.

                        I’m unsure. Tempted to get a Newcastle defender for Alonso and start them

                        Klopp saying he was fine when reports said he was injured for a month was a real troll job.

                          Unbelievable tbh!
                          What a FPL fraud!!

                          Yeah you missed out on all those juicy points that Robbo/VVD got.

                Double palace (Guaita, AWB) defence but Digne and Richarlison on bench currently.
                Worth benching AWB with Tomkins injured?

                  Dann isn’t really much of a downgrade on Tomkins so I wouldn’t let that put you off.

                  A double up is bold but not ridiculous. West Ham have been rubbish away lately and I can’t see Anderson getting any change out of AWB.

                    True. TAA still doubtful anyway which makes it easier.

                  Probably in less hurry to rush Mendy back with how well Laporte did at left back last week.

                  Mendy doing us all a favour really, don't want him until after the blank.
