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.

    1. RustyBz
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Pogba isn't a bad shout.

      1. HamezMace
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        You doing it Rusty?

        1. RustyBz
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          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

          1. HamezMace
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Luck running out....prepare for some backlash, it's a very Liverpool heavy community here 🙂

            1. RustyBz
              • 11 Years
              7 years, 1 month ago

              Oh mate... some of those penalties, rebounds, offside goals, Pickford losing his head in the last second of the game...

              1. HamezMace
                • 11 Years
                7 years, 1 month ago

                I'm not saying I disagree, but I am saying you're a brave man for bringing it up on here...

                1. RustyBz
                  • 11 Years
                  7 years, 1 month ago

                  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.

                  1. RustyBz
                    • 11 Years
                    7 years, 1 month ago

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

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

                    You're not wrong.

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Salah all the way

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

      Tempted to go pogba

    4. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Im tempted, however I hate having to root so strongly against my own player doing well. Its horrible when Salah scores and he has 180% captaincy and you own him but are hating your life

      1. HamezMace
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        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.

      2. Pep Pig
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        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

        1. HamezMace
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Next week it'll be Auba for everyone, and a few maverick picks of Son.

    5. kime67
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      salah got hattrick last time v bmouth. just saying

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

      Salah 100%.

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

      It’s next week for me when everyone will be on Auba. I’m going Arnie against Fulham.

      If you’re going maverick you may as well do it In a week when there’s a 100% option.

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

    That Benjamin Mendy fella is a bit of a tool by the sounds of it. Pep can't say that, but I bet he thinks it.

    1. RustyBz
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Imagine Roy Keane managing the France team - he'd implode

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

      I'm sure they'll sign a new LB in the summer, possibly Chilwell.

      1. HamezMace
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Jose Gaya still linked with them, could be a great FPL pick.

  3. kime67
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    bb active, fh in dgw 32, tc in dgw or tgw 35 (hazard) . how does this sound?

    1. gaurava1216
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I am going FH in 32. WC in 34. BB in 35.

      Building up for 31 and 33 blanks from now... (Similar teams will blank in both)

      TC will just have to wait and see....

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

      What's your BB team? Is TAA part of it?

    3. kime67
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      so you have to use tc in single gw. think i have the edge

    4. kime67
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      yes he is and im confident hell play. liverpool need him back

    5. kime67
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      foster holebas barnes awb is my bench. points in there i think

    6. jason_ni
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I dont think TAA will start tbh

  4. Savastano
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Sane to Felipe Anderson for this week?

    1. kime67
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      next gw

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Next gw definitely

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

        Yeh, potential is Sane doesn't start this Sunday. Hence why I want to do it a bit earlier

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

      Do it.

  5. waltzingmatildas
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Off topic....
    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?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      They have insured Sala for £16 m I believe. But that doesn't include other things like agents fees shirts etc...

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

        Have they insurance? I haven't seen any link or source for that.

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

      I don't know the details, but I can't imagine there would be any professional club without Life insurance policies on their players.

      We are talking about multi million pound assets.

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

      I'd never thought about the life insurance thing before. So, I wonder would both the club and player would get payouts for career ending injuries?

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

    Best move?

    Lloris
    Shaw, Doh, Robbo, Laporte*, AWB
    Salah, Pogba, Sane*, Jota*
    Rash, Aguero*, Long*

    A Aguero 》Auba
    B Sane 》Son
    C Laporte & Long 》Bed & Jim -4
    D - A & B -4

    1. kime67

    Ryan or Guaita in goal.

    Already playing AWB.

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years

      Ryan

      1. Boxwoods

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

    Is Kola still nailed? If not, which arsenal defender is?

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

      Should still be

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

      Maybe victim of formation changes. Slightly concerned if his nailedoness
      as he got hauled off early for suarez last gw

  9. Jealous Viper
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Where does Dennis Suarez play exactly? Does he have much of an attacking threat and what are the chances he plays Saturday?

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

      LM or AM - could well be an option to start if Auba isn't feeling 100%

  10. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Any news on Jota?

  11. Sz21
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    1. Bring in TAA or Kolasinac for Digne this week? Which one?
    2. Rich-> Jota.

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

        Yeah this. Risky for this week and he’s away. Two minor flags for me

    2. danishdynamite
      • 15 Years

    3. Annie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  15. Duffy Dunk
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Damn, another flag with Tomkins, to be added to TAA Auba Jota.
    Can't complain though, got lucky captaining Sane last gw..

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years

    Mates, any updates on Jota and Auba today?
    Son should start?

  18. PepSala
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Start Shaw or Hjobjerg?

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

      Shaw

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

    TAA on -179% and might finally be dropping after Klopp's updates

    1. MTPockets
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah because yellow not red flag now

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

          Aaaahhh - makes sense

          1. MTPockets
              7 years, 1 month ago

              Although highlights stupidity of price change mechanics wrt flags.

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

        Aguero >> Auba for free? (got 2FT)

      • FPLGeezer
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Ings red flagged. What did I miss?

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

          Out for 2-3 weeks, hamstrung

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

          Ings is a walking red flag, needs to go asap!

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

            Yep was considering this week as part of a -8 to get Aubameyang but will wait a week I think.

        3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          nothing, the surprise is when he is fit

      • teneighty
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Sané gets one more week...can't bring myself to take a hit to get in two flagged players.

      • avfc82
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

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

        I'm still not sure if I want to invest in Vardy - when you consider Leicester's lack of attacking ability, 8.8 is a lot to spend.

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

          yeah could be decent, Barnes too - doubt I'd even consider Vardy given the other options available

          1. avfc82
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 16 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

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

      • gilean
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Sane out for Mane a good move?

        Other issues are TAA and Auba. 1 FT.

        1. Shabba
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          I'd say so. It's what I've done

      • 2hotty
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        camarasa to moutinho for -4 already done sane to mane
        or just play digne

      • Tingate
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        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!

        1. 2hotty
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          given ye self a migraine there

      • Deeney-is-a-god
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        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

        1. 2hotty
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          moutinho is a good option as a camarasa replacement not sure i would want the 2 in midfield

      • Richd
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        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

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

          Hassentootlepootles comments make me think Valerie won’t start

      • Flynny
        • 10 Years

          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.
