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.

    Who is more nailed vs Chelsea - Sane or Sterling?

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

      sterling

    2. pressdpm
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Nobody knows really, all guesswork

    3. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Impossible to know, but I would be extremely surprised if Sterling was benched. Pep normally plays him in the big matches.

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

      Can't see him going without Sterling in a game of this magnitude.

    5. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Raheem

    6. Bunk Moreland
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Sterling.

    7. Viper
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Sterling I'd imagine

    8. _Make
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Fire them both

    9. caldracula
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I think after the last two games it has to be Sterling. Funny how the consensus was Sane before the last GW though.

    Fabianski
    Robertson - TAA - Bednarek - Doherty

      C. Save it so you have two transfers next gw when we know the blanks of gw31. I think your team looks fine!

        Thanks La Vida Latte.

    I don't think Ben Mendy is cut out to be a Man City player...

    1. Mo Mané Mo Problems

      *professional footballer.

      1. tiger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        true...although that would be fine at some PL clubs 😀

        1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Call me James Milner, but if I was paid 100k/week, I'd be doing everything I could to be fit and play for my team...

          1. tiger
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            agreed...and even putting the money aside, the chance to win things and make good of your high potential too!

    2. SHOOTER MCGINN
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Sounds like he won't feature for a while, which is a shame for FPL

      1. tiger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I agree

  4. pressdpm

    7 years, 1 month ago

    Aguero > Auba sound good?

    Fabianski
    Bennett - Robertson - Kolasinac
    Salah - Sterling - Richarlison - Pogba
    Rashford - Jiminez - Aguero

    Speroni - Wan Bissaka - Digne - Biling

    1. Viper
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Seeing as you have Sterling I'd say yes

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

      Contemplating it and think i will end up doing it. Have a little fear that Aguero's form continues, and Auba illness messes him up. Especially as City are home and Arsenal struggle away. But surely Arsenal has to get an away win sometime...this could be it. Plus i kinda rate Chelsea, don't see them getting smashed too badly. Then the blank next week for Kun regardless..

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

        Auba has Southampton and Bournemouth at home after this week as well, which are nice fixtures

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

          Yes, i'm getting him for sure in for Aguero, the decision is just when. This week or next week. Leaning towards just doing it today..along with Hazard to Son. Both free.

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

            For no hits I'd definitely do those moves

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

              Yeah it's been my gut feeling to do those moves from before last week even started. So i think i'll go through with it, just waiting a bit longer cause no reason to rush.

              1. Moderately content penguin
                • 7 Years
                7 years, 1 month ago

                I’d fivSterling this week and Kun next and carry the FT.

                I suspect an extra FT Is going to be valuable once the blanks doubles are announced.

                The only reason to do Auba now is if you want to captain him or if you think he’ll outscore Kun by 2 (the value of an extra FT).

  5. SADIO SANÉ
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    ready or make another move?

    Guaita (Button)
    Doherty Kola Holebas

        cheers Raf, now have enough for Auba (-4) but having second thoughts 😀

          • 9 Years

          See next page. Same 🙂 but mine would be Kun out

  8. aborg

    7 years, 1 month ago

    Since everyone is selling Sane, am I right to say that keeping Sane for this GW is a good differential?

    1. Viper
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Yep, could be.

      I personally don't think he'll start though

    2. caldracula
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Think he's dead as an option.

      1. grumpyman
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Way too early for a statement like that. Every chance he plays and hauls this weekend.

    3. Samwise
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      sane TC good idea?

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

        too soon

  9. Lateriser 12
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Really scratching my head in terms of how to use my second FT. I want to play ultra aggressive and was set on Bobby to Auba. But pool have Wijna TAA and Hendo back. PRimed to destroy BOU. Auba was sick and Arsenal are poor away. Kun i'm leaning towards holding post the blank as i think he could potentially be a great differential.

    Whadya reckon lads?

    A) Kun to Auba
    b) Bobby to Auba
    c) Digne to TAA
    d) Richa to Mane (triple attack for this gw)
    e) Save

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      C or D

    2. caldracula
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      D out of them

    3. SHOOTER MCGINN
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      C

    4. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      D for sure but hold off in case there's news on Auba/TAA later today or early tomorrow ideally.

  10. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Sane to Mane for free or save and play him or Richarlison.

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Thinking about the same move. Probs will

  11. Shark Team
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Plz help me.. real headache who to play?
    A)Stones CHE H
    B)Awb WHU H
    C)Jonny NEW H

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

      There doesn't seem to be enough upside to Stones so definitely between B and C. Wham looked really good vs Liverpool for me so Jonny (unless you're already playing Doherty or Patricio in which case i would diversify risk)

    2. SHOOTER MCGINN
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      C

  12. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    I have Trent* and Holebas on my bench this week with Sane and Sterling starting at the moment, but I am very tempted to play one (or both). Also considering a move to Mane from one of them (though I already have plenty of players for gw27) in the short term.

    Which two would you play/start:

    A) Sterling
    B) Sane
    C) Holebas
    D) Trent
    E) Mane (takes a FT)

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      AE

    2. MTPockets
        7 years, 1 month ago

        a + b/e

      • KingOllie
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        A C

    3. _Make
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      It's a good job Mendy is still out for a while, otherwise he might, y'know, threaten Sané's minutes on the pitch.

      Still bitter 🙂

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

        All 24.5/game of them ;).

    4. azz007
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      take Sane out at your own peril, defo will start. hes fresh. big game, need the width and pace . home game too

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

        I agree it is a risk but: best case was that he was removed on 59 after a rest because of a tactical swap after an illness. Pep is all about trust and I think he's lost it a bit with Leroy of late.

      2. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Wasn't there stats showing that Sane don't start against top 6 teams?

      3. tm370
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I don't see the logic in saying he 'defo' will start. It's obviously not true - he 'might' start, but he didn't start the last big game against an Arsenal side without a decent right back. He was poor in mid-week and was subbed before the hour mark. I'd say he is more likely to start on the bench.

    5. Romford Pele - Don't w…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Who to bench?

      Patricio (NEW)

      Doherty (NEW)
      AWB (WHU)
      Trent AA (BOU)
      Shaw (ful)
      Digne (wat)

      Son (LEI)
      Salah (BOU)
      Pogba (ful)
      Sane (CHE)

      Rashford (ful)
      Batshuayi (WHU)
      Aubameyang (hud)

      1. Romford Pele - Don't w…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        (i included patricio to show it is double up with Doherty)

      2. Old Wulfrunian
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Trent Digne

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

        I have TAA as well and I am a little worried he will get some 'back to fitness minutes' in the last 25 or so. If I knew he was starting I would bench AWB (Wham looked good vs 'pool) and Digne (not too much of a case against him, I just think the other options have better fixtures and WAT can turn it on)

      4. La Vida Latte
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Trent. Don´t think he will play.

    6. Dele
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Is Aguero >>> Aubameyang worth a -4 this week?

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

        No. Free would be worth IMO.

      2. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        It is for me in my ML. Losing by a few pts so look a like picks won’t really help me...

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

      Any commentary/insights on Richarlison starting potential vs. Watford?

      1. Pierce34
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I can't see Silva benching him. I also can't see Everton playing well 😛

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

          Happy about the first. I agree with the last though, haha.

    8. CrouchDown
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Sane + Ings > Son + Jiminez for -4?

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

        Yea 🙂

      2. Mind över Mata
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Yeah

    9. Mind över Mata

      Good to go?

      Patricio
      Robbo, TAA, Doherty
      Sterling, Salah (c), Pog, Rich
      Aguero, Rash, Jimenez

      4.9; Bednarak, Hojbjerg, Wan-B

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

        Looks light on defence

    11. Tsssst
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Sane vs Chelsea

      Played 6
      Won 3
      Drawn 0
      Lost 3
      Goals 0
      Assists 0

      It would be insane to keep him no?

      1. Fpl Richie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Insane might be a bit much, but he's a nemesis for some of us now - so I will spend my life's work, or this week in fpl, cursing him. In other words sell him 🙂

      2. caldracula
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Would be interesting to see his minutes in those games.

        1. caldracula
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Most recent to last

          37
          45
          90
          84
          85
          69

          More than I was expecting considering no returns.

    12. Yoyoyoman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Thinking of doubling up on Pool.

      Eden out for Mane or hold FT?

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Would do if no other issue. Considering Sane to Mane or Aguero to Auba, leaning towards Mane as Pool double up is tempting and Pool have no blanks

      2. La Vida Latte
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I was thinking this too, but I´ve decided to save the transfer to next week when we know the blanks of gw31

        1. Yoyoyoman
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah I'm thinking it covers me for 3 weeks at least and Edens fixtures aren't great.

        I wouldn't buy Kolasinac now for the reasons I mentioned in the last page. It's between A and C for me, I would probably take a punt on Mane.

        Salah cause of Auba illness means he may not be at 100%

        it will be the opposite of what i pick, at the moment I am going Salah, so you should go Auba

      Play 2 thereof...
      A. TAA (injury doubt, have Robbo).
      B. AWB (have Guaita, Tomkins out).
      C. Digne (Everton form...)
      D. Richarlison (as above!)

          Don’t forget if you TC sane and remove him for a hit you’ve made a net loss

            They will have almost have certainly made a loss, unless the player they transferred out scored 0, and their subs scored 0.

            didnt bring him in for a hit, brought in for New and the double-
            Total points with captaincy, 4

            Replaced Fanderson - points in same period, 10 + Capt points missed

            Tempted to move out now on a FT for Mane

            I was temporarily having my posts moderated after I posted this.

            It wasn’t a wind up. Was basically saying “be patient with sane” if you can. Otherwise it just makes a situation worse imo. Chelsea is a good game to keep

          Anyone else having second thoughts about hokey part 2? Keeping Kun rather than using the FT to bring back Auba?

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

            Defo keeping Kun.

              He looks hungry doesn't he. Defo primary source of goals atm. Just worried about missing out on an Auba hatty against the worst team in the league. This illness though...
