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.

    Sane > Son on a free makes sense. Doesn't it?

    1. SuperHam
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      That's what I've done this week

  2. SuperHam
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Which one for this week only?

    1. Hazard
    2. Auba (-4)

    1. ZimZalabim
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      no

  3. Warby84

    7 years, 6 months ago

    Change of sport; Any Cheltenham racegoers worried that it maybe cancelled this, I’ve been going religiously since best mate won his 3rd Gold Cup in 2004... I’ll miss the Guinness village

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      should be okay I'd guess, they've acted pretty quickly

    2. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Not sure - I imagine there will be massive commercial pressure for it to go ahead though.

      1. Warby84
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        I’m backing the Irish if it goes ahead...

    3. Millie7
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      good chance it will be cancelled if they've found it has spread

      1. Warby84
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        I think in Australia it took 6/7 months to get back to normal.. If Cheltenham is cancelled then the Grand national will be next

    4. XABI 15
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I have a ticket on the Wed, hoping it goes ahead!

  4. SADIO SANÉ
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    wish there was an option (that you could choose to tick if you wanted it) which means that any player that plays less than 30 mins gets autosubbed - would make the game less luck-based/annoying imo, also makes some players better options

    1. ZimZalabim
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      no

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        no I don't wish that? okay

    2. JohnnyMagrinho
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Arguably that’s where understanding of the team and their situation comes into play and so luck is less of a factor.

      High-risk high-reward strategies are nice and it’s an entirely different way to play the game than a safer approach.

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        maybe, but it also makes bench players more important and lessens the risk of unknown injuries/knocks affecting your team too much for the week - widens the list of potential options too, I'd much prefer it personally

  5. BATISTUTA ®
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Ryan
    TAA - VVD - Doherty
    Pogba - Salah(c) - Son - Almiron
    Aguero - Rashford - Llorente

    Speroni - Camarasa - AWB - Digne

    4,2 ITB ... worth a hit for Llorente -> Lacazette ????
    Cheers

  6. Bubz
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Whats this about Mendy? Pep doesn't even know where he is?

    1. Warby84
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      As far as he knew, he was in Barca, Mendy put up a joke on insta about being in Hong Kong and then deleted straight after...

      1. Bubz
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        😆 wtf

  7. BobbyDoesNotLook
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Play Rich or Anderson?

    1. SuperHam
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Anderson

  8. TheDragon
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Fab, 4.0
    Robertson, Luiz, Digne, AWB, Jonny
    Salah, Pogba, Sané, Rich, 4.5
    Aguero, Jiminez, Rashford

    1FT

    Thoughts on which option is best this week?
    A) Sané -> Son
    B) Aguero -> Aubameyang
    C) Both transfers for a -4

    Thanks!

    1. SuperHam
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      A

    2. Arn De Gothia
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      a

  9. StayoutheSpiceZone
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Llorente or Rondon this GW.

    Neither is not an option 🙂

    Cheers

    1. TheDragon
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Llorente

      1. StayoutheSpiceZone
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Ok thanks mate. I was thinking the same - Rondon in for gw27 tbh

    2. JohnnyMagrinho
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Llorente this week but Rondon going forward.

      If it’s a case of bringing Llorente in Id keep Rondon but other way round is hold Llorente then swap for Rondon next week.

      1. StayoutheSpiceZone
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks mate. No have both, just want to know who to play

  10. Tsssst
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Kola
    Doherty
    Bednarek
    Laporte
    TAA

    bench one...

    1. TheDragon
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      TAA won’t play anyway will he? I’d bench Laporte

      1. JohnnyMagrinho
        7 years, 6 months ago

        That’s a wild assumption to make in such a blase manner on here.

        He’s trained and Klopp said he might be available. It’s 50/50 at best I’d say but can’t be saying he definitely won’t play.

        1. JohnnyMagrinho
          7 years, 6 months ago

          *-definitely

        2. TheDragon
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Lol - where did I say he ‘definitely’ won’t play?

          Hint: question marks are for questions

  11. fr3d
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    EO’s this week

    Salah 200%
    Pogba 100%
    Rashford 100%
    Liv defender 100%
    Jimenez 80%
    Doherty 80%

    So much fun! 😮

    1. Bubz
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      😆 so true. I'm so bored of this season. My rank has barely changed at all in the last 15 weeks

      1. Bubz
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        You can add Son about 80% too

      2. TheDragon
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        It is frustrating - I’ve got a decent rank but just no progress either way for at least 10 weekd

        1. Bubz
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Same, been hovering around 15k forever

          1. TheDragon
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            Last 10 weeks I’ve pretty much scored the top 10k average +/-2 and very gradually fallen from 500ish to nearer 2k

      3. Millie7
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Change it up and take some risks then

        1. Bubz
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          I kind of do though to be fair. I went without Salah. I tripled on Man City mids last gameweek for the double. I've tried various things that don;t work

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      How would this effect a TC this week? I’m over 300k and chasing

      1. TheDragon
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        If you are thinking of triple captaining Salah then that ownership would make it less explosive

        Alternatively Aubameyang triple captain could be a huge differential although personally I wouldn’t be considering triple captain this week

      2. fr3d
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        If Salah scores 10 points, the average team will get ~20 points and you will get ~30 points

      3. Don Kloppeone
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Exactly what I’m thinking Rafa!

        I’m 227k and wanting some greens to get me back up top!

    3. altan8797
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      well everyone is complaining about the template but no one is taking any risks 😀

      1. TheDragon
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        They are template players for a reason. Other than Son there haven’t been many ‘good risks’ to take last 10 weeks (in my opinion)

        I’m all for risks which have a clear upside but risks such as no Liverpool (to date) is just lots of downside risk

      2. fr3d
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        These are rock solid players atm so can’t really go without 🙁

      3. Bubz
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        The template keep outperforming any risks though

        1. altan8797
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          thats true, haven't seen a more consistent template in 5 years.

    4. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I only have 3 of 6

    5. Planet Head
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Hey I don't have a Liv defender! :O 😀

  12. Daghe Munegu
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Am I good to go?

    Pat
    VVD Shaw Kolasinac
    Salah Sterling Mané Son
    Lacazette Barnes Jimenez ?

    1. altan8797
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      don't love the back line. looks solid otherwise, gtg.

  13. C'mon the Fylde
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    I have a triple captain hit to use.
    When is the best time to use it?
    During a double GW or just a game of confidence?

    1. altan8797
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      lets first see the dgw fixtures

    2. el polako
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Sane was the man, they said...

  14. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    If you have all your chips left, is now a good time to hit the TC? Thinking FH in 32 for the double and BB35 after a 34 WC.

    Any other good time for the TC? Another Salah single game or a chance of a Chelsea double? Cheers 🙂

    1. MTPockets
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Can't be worse than my Sane TC

    2. SADIO SANÉ
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      depends on your FH strategy yeah, I'm probably FHing in 31 and using TC in 32 but we'll see - if not the Hudd game should be another good option for Salah

    3. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I may hold for a last gw goalfest punt.

  15. Krafty Werks
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Play?

    A - Foster (Home to Everton)
    B - Patricio (Home to Newcastle)

    Thanks.

  18. Fernandito
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Sterling and Sane for Son & Mane for a hit??

    City blanking, rotation risks and schedule being considered

    1. Bubz
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Would probably only do one of those. Cheslea arent exactly a rock at the back

    2. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Just Sane to Son

  19. lindeg
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    why is 50%+ so keen on salah as captain? 2 blanks in a row and last goals coming from lucky rebounds and penalties - not like he is dribbling anyone and scoring lately.

    1. Bubz
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Fear

    2. C'mon the Fylde
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Your opponents are likely to captain Salah.
      If you take a punt and Salah performs, it'll be costly.
      Bournemouth don't look great.
      I'm, personally, tempted to captain Son or Rashford, as a punt.

    3. MinuteFong
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      For: rarely goes more than two games without blanking; his haul against Bournemouth away; rivals not clear-cut (Pogba/Rashford minutes with PSG; Aguero has Chelsea; possible Auba illness...); lucky goals are still goals.

      Against: form as you say; Bournemouth may park the bus; Pogba/Rashford/Aguero all on good form even with reduced minutes.

      So in conclusion: not sure.

      1. C'mon the Fylde
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        What about Son? 🙂

  20. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    GTG??
    Any changes between starting XI and bench?

    Fabianski
    Doherty/Shaw/WB
    Salah(c)/Mane/Son/Pogba
    Auba/Rashford/Jimenez

    Hart/Bednarek/Digne/Puncheon

  21. SADIO SANÉ
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    jeez, if Pep had said Mendy 'remains unavailable' before the DGW I almost definitely would have TC'd Sane and got Danilo 😀

    1. altan8797
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      close one for you then 🙂

  22. pundit of punts
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Good to go?

    Fabianski
    Trippier - Bennett - Bednarek
    Salah - Sterling - Son - Richarlison
    Firmino - Rashford - Mitrovic

    Hamer - AWB - TAA - Schneiderlin

    2.4m in the bank. No hits.

    Plan is Firmino + Richarlison ➡ Anderson + Aubameyang next gw. Thoughts please? 🙂

  23. Jontharon
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Rondon (wol), F.Anderson (cry) or Richarlison (wat), who takes the most points?

    1. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Mr. Anderson

      1. Bullet Eder
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        No chance against AWB. Richarlison, Rondon, Anderson would be my order.

  24. The Head-Ake
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Patricio
    Luiz - Robbo - Shaw
    Son - Salah(c) - Pogba - Sane
    Auba - Jiminez - Rash

    Bench: Button - Bednarek - AWB - Puncheon. 1 FT and 0.2 ITB. Should I save for this week? If so, what moves should I do later on?

  25. LewanGOALski
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Hazard & Ings ➡ Jota & Auba (-4)
    Yay or better wait a week?

    1. LarryDuff
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Transferring in two questionable starters seems mental

  26. Whazza
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Auba likely to start? Was he in training today?

    1. Gringo Kid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Only Emery knows that

  29. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

    Watford beating Everton to go 4 points clear of them with a game in hand is not an unrealistic possibility this weekend

    Whoddathunkit after Silva left to go to Everton, taking Richarlison with him for €50m
