Prizes on offer as the second 2021/22 FFS Members Cup opens for entry

Our third and final Fantasy Premier League (FPL) cup competition for the 2021/22 campaign is now open for entry – and £300-worth of prizes are on offer.

This tournament is for Premium Members, who can sign up for the tournament via the entry form here.

In our FFS Members Cup, our list of previous winners is as follows: WaltzingmatildasFuzzy DunlopKippax Kickers AcquafrescaTrigg Ola SvanheldMalaikat JahadrrcmcJay #, Pep PigMohd Rodzi and Scrumper.

Those listed above will gain a bye to the first round proper of this new FFS Members Cup should they enter with the username listed.

If you’re new to our cup competitions, read on for an FAQ, offering all the details.

HOW DO THE CUP COMPETITIONS WORK?

Our cups are very similar to the Fantasy Premier League’s own Fantasy Cup game.

Entrants who qualify for the first round will be randomly drawn against each other and the winner of the tie is whoever has the highest score from that Gameweek, minus points spent on transfers (like in the original game and in head-to-head scores).

In the event of a tie, the manager highest in the overall FPL rankings after the tie will progress.

WHEN DO THEY START?

The qualifying round for the Members Cup will take place a week later in Gameweek 30, with the first round running in Gameweek 31.

Fantasy managers can enter their teams in the FFS Members Cup until 18:30 GMT on Friday 18 March. We will make the first-round draw after Gameweek 30 ends.

Previous winners must enter with the same usernames listed above to gain their bye.

Entrants must have registered their teams in Fantasy Premier League ahead of Gameweek 1.

HOW DO I ENTER?

Enter the FFS Members Cup via the entry form here. This form is only visible to Premium Members and you will need to log into the Premium Members’ Area to view the form.

You will be sent a confirmation email to verify your entry and you’ll be asked to confirm your FPL team ID at the point of entry. Your entry is only completed once you have confirmed your FPL team ID as part of the process. If your FPL team is incorrectly entered, we cannot amend this at a later date.

To check that you’re entered correctly, please scan the list of entries.

The FFS Members Cup list is here.

HOW DO I FIND MY FPL TEAM ID?

Your FPL ID is your unique ID for your FPL team. This is found via your Gameweek History page – the link to which is found in the right-hand menu under your FPL team strip. When you visit your Gameweek History you will see a number in the URL (as opposed to the XXX below).

https://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/XXX/history

Place this 1-7 digit number, or your Gameweek History URL, in the FPL ID field on the entry form.

WHEN WILL I FIND OUT IF I’VE QUALIFIED?

Results from the Members Cup qualifying round will be published shortly after Gameweek 30 ends and then weekly, after the completion of each Gameweek, from that point on.

WHAT IS THE GAMEWEEK SCHEDULE?

The cup will be played out according to the following proposed Gameweek schedule:

Fantasy Football Scout Members Cup Round Dates

DO I HAVE TO ENTER IF I’M A PREVIOUS WINNER?

Yes, because your FPL team ID will have changed so we will need to record your entry again. As a previous winner, you will be given a bye to the first round proper.

We ask you to supply a Fantasy Football Scout username so we can feature you, as a member of our community, in any articles associated with the tournament.

Ideally, you will already have a username with us, but this is not essential to enter.

You must, however, supply a username for the purpose of the tournament so you can be identified in articles.

You must not change this username throughout the course of the tournament. Should you do so without permission, should you enter multiple teams, or if your FFS account comes under moderation for any reason, we reserve the right to remove you from a tournament at any stage.

*please note that our Cups page will be updated later in the week

    If I only have 1 FH chip left when would be the best time to use this? I could probably get about 10 players out for GW33 providing there are no FA Cup shocks.

        What do u mean?

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Worst case is Villa, Leeds and Wolves blanking in 33 so you shouldn't have any issues fielding 11 players without FH chip

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

        Thanks mate. I actually have 2 Villa, 3 Wolves and 1 Leeds at the moment.

  3. internal error

    With just a FH left, atm, I cant see past FH 33, looking at the fixtures in that week, and the fixtures before and after. It just looks like it ties in better than FH 36 would.

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

      I only have 1 FH as well. Surely if you can get at least 9 or 10 players out in 33, using the FH then would be wasted?

    2. abcdef3
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      I really wish I hadn't been trigger happy and used a free hit in GW22. Having 2 free hits left now would be the dream

      1. Pacer.
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        I've only one FH and tbh I've found that using a very carefully planned transfer strategy, moving one, two or three pieces at a time seems to have stood me in better stead than those in my league who have had their thinking complicated by later wildcards and additional free hits

    3. 1justlookin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Unless I'm missing something?!

    4. TopBinFC
      • 2 Years

      GW33 is a big DGW or am I missing something?

      1. Now I'm Panicking
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Not when a few matches are postponed for the FA Cup

        1. TopBinFC
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 1 month ago

          oh cheers, didnt think of that, thanks.

  4. jimbo90

    Barnes or Maddison for rest of season?

    1. linkafu
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Barnes

    Greetings Sa owners! How are you dealing with the likely GW33 blank. Tempted to sell, with Che/Liv/Mci to come? Or hold & hope he hauls against them?
    I have Sanchez double to cover 33 although the fixtures are pretty awful for Brighton & I wouldn't mind downgrading him to non-playing cheapie if/when I can spare the transfer

    1. abcdef3
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      I have Dubravka so just going to play him in GW33 when he has two home games. May sell Sa for Ramdsale later for the bench boost in GW36

    2. TopBinFC
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      I will either use my second FH or WC33

  6. RedJive79
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Would you FH this lot? Still have 2 FH and currently only 6 players for BGW30.....

    Ramsdale
    Doherty / TAA / Cancelo / Ait Nouri / Roberts
    Salah / Coutinho / Saka / Bowen / Gallagher
    Kane / Jimi / Broja

  7. Letsgo!
    • 7 Years

    Salah to start vs arsenal?

    1. Captain Haddock
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Guess so

    2. Bavarian
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Hopefully not (Arsenal fan)

    3. Bonus magnet
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Sorry don’t know the context but why is this a question

  8. Miniboss
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Very exciting to wait for the team news for tonight's matches. Will my Salah(TC) turn out to be

    a) raving success
    b) misery

    1. Captain Haddock
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      A

    2. mcsteely
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Probably somewhere in between, but less than TC in 26

  9. Captain Haddock
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Glad to have 2 FHs left (maybe 33&36).

    I still have BB also, looks like that would be used on some SGW. Something like 10 points would be ok. I have never been very succesfull with that chip.

  10. FPL Brains
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    • 12 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    There a list of remaining / potential doubles yet to be rescheduled anywhere on site?

    1. Make Arrows Green Again
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Forgive me but isn't the formula simply:

      [Games left to play after the conclusion of GW 29] minus [number of gameweeks left] minus one for every double already scheduled?

      So with Leicester it's: 12 - 9 - 1 = 2 doubles to schedule?

  11. dshv
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    FH30. Give me opinions

    Ramsdale
    Perreira doherty saiss
    Coutinho saka barnes son
    Kane jimenez kane

    1. Captain Haddock
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Double Kane

      1. dshv
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Toney

    2. Fish up a tree
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      I would get Raph in there ahead of Toney or Jimmy

  12. mcsteely
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    What do you think to this plan?

    GW30: Robbo to Regulion
    GW31: Dawson to James
    GW32: TBC on a one week punt
    GW33: FH
    GW34: WC
    GW35: Roll FT
    GW36: 2FT and BB

    1. tokara
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      hard to comment w/o seeing full team

      but i can see ur intent is to get James

      1. mcsteely
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Ramsdale (Foster)
        Dawson (Trent, Robbo, Cancelo, Livra)
        Raphina, Coutinho, Saka, Kulu (Salah)
        Kane (Dennis, Broja)
        0.0 ITB

  13. Fish up a tree
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Would you use FH this lot?
    1 FT so can get 7

    Ramsdale
    Tierney
    Saka Kulu Coutinho
    Kane C

    (Foster TSilva Digne* Cancelo TAA Salah Havertz Adams ASM)

    Thanks

    1. TheBiffas
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Adams > Toney?

      1. Fish up a tree
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers boss, bad experience of previous ownership scares me!

  14. TheBiffas
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    GTG? 0ft so any other changes would be for a hit.

    Sa

    Tierney

    Kulu - Ramsey - Maddison - Saka

    Kane (c) - Toney

    1. Fish up a tree
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah looks alright better than mine above!

      Don’t see any CS this week so being short there is not a game changer

      1. TheBiffas
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers. I've made a suggestion above

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

    What would you do? Really stuck here
    a) Jota + Livra > Coutinho + Coady (-4) = gives me 9 players GW30
    b) Jota + Adams > Coutinho + Jimi (-4) = gives me 9 players GW30
    c) FH

    Lloris
    Doherty - White
    Kulu - Saka - Raph
    Laca

    Foster - TAA - Rudiger - Salah - Jota - Livra

    1. Fish up a tree
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Who’s your 3rd striker?

      Can you get Kane or Son with a hit?

    2. waltzingmatildas
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Just seen you already have 3 Spurs, but no Son or Kane. I'd be tempted to FH that

    3. TheBiffas
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      FH that. Double spurs def not a good idea

  16. waltzingmatildas
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    My one claim to FPL fame.....FFS Members Cup Winner 2015! My highest ever finish, 3234. I remember I bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab with the voucher.

    Not a member anymore so won't be able to enter this time. I'm also doing terribly!

    Good luck all 🙂

  17. Make Arrows Green Again
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Any chance Son starts the next one? Conte seemed pretty non-committal in his press conference /jk XD

    1. Fish up a tree
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Joke right

    2. tokara
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Oman i was all fixed on getting Son ahead of Kulu

    3. Silecro
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      If any press conference ever was as clear cut for a player starting.....

    4. Lanley Staurel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Funny

  18. Werner Bremen
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Why Barnes over Maddison?

    1. The Mentaculus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      I had planned to bring in Maddison this week, but a few things have put me off:
      - He's been in & out the team with injury
      - During his absence, Rodgers has started playing 433. So now Maddi is in a deeper central midfield role rather than AMC.
      - All the chances seem to be falling Barnes' way at the moment
      - Maddison looked quite frustrated against Arsenal & I fear his purple patch has passed
      - May be more at risk of rotation due to Rennes game

  19. Ëð
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Posted on an old article...

    On a FH...

    A) Maddison
    B) Barnes

    1) Jimenez
    2) Toney

    1. Moxon
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      B2

    2. tokara
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      B2

  20. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Who scores more in 30

    A: Son x2
    B: Thomas + Barnes + Kanex2 (-8)

    1. artvandelay316
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      B

  21. artvandelay316
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    I'm about 100 points clear at top of my ML and in top 40-50K bracket currently. Should have 7 playing GW30 but could get to 8 with A or B below.

    A) Willock to Ramsey and Hwang to Jimi for -4
    B) Willock to Ramsey and Hwang to Toney for -4
    C) Willock to Barnes FT and keep Hwang (hopefully plays)

    Best option?

    1. The Mentaculus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      C

  22. TopBinFC
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Current FH team, any obvious changes?

    Sa
    Coady, Gabriel, Cash
    Maddison, Son, Coutinho, Saka, Fornals
    Toney, Kane (c)

    Martinez, Daka, RAN, Dier

    1. Fish up a tree
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Hard to predict the CS this week if any so go with attacking defenders like Cash Tierney RAN Thomas Pereira

  23. Pops15
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Any Leicester defender worth bringing in this week?

    Looking at their future doubles as well. Have Digne and looks like he wont be fit. Thinking of Thomas as hes been starting quite a bit and provides a cheap bench option moved forward.

    1. boombaba
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Amartey is cheap and getting games ahead of Veste. Not sure any are nailed other than Söyüncü

      1. Well you know, Triffic
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Nailed until Evans and Forfana return.

      2. Pops15
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Had a look at Amartey but worried that he might be out of the squad by GW33 with the doubles. Fofana is back in training and Evan's expected back by early next month.

        While Bertrand is the only other natural LB and he is out for the rest of the season. More likelyhood that Thomas gets more mind.

        Only real threat is Justin/Perriera who can play RB/LB

  24. boombaba
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Based on what we know today.

    When is potentially best to use FH and BB if wanting to play them in GW33 and GW36?

    1. Pops15
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Looks like BB in 36 is the obvious move. Could FH in 33 or 37 depending on your squad

    2. tokara
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Will send u our proposal before end of business closure today

  25. Return Of Chamakh
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    In a very competitive ML where the top managers have similar teams, how's this for a FH team?

    Sa
    Coady Saiss Gabriel
    Son Saka Coutinho Kulu
    Kane Toney Lacazette
    (Eriksen Cash Mings)
    5m ITB

    Is triple wolves defence totally mental?! Any other glaring errors?

    1. TopBinFC
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      No west ham and 3 spurs attackers, what is west ham win that which they could?

      1. TopBinFC
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        And no Leicester which is more surprising. Need Maddsion or Barnes

        1. Return Of Chamakh
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 1 month ago

          Not sure who I'd have from West ham tbh! Bowen would be in if definitely fit but don't fancy any of their defence vs kane and son and no options up top. Good point on Leicester though, have overlooked them maybe!

          1. TopBinFC
            • 2 Years
            2 years, 1 month ago

            Fornals, Behrama could be decent picks, Spurs are awful at the back lately.

            1. Return Of Chamakh
              • 10 Years
              2 years, 1 month ago

              Good point, I'll go check them out cheers! 🙂

  26. Well you know, Triffic
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone with 2 FH and a WC looking at FH38? There are some really good fixtures for the top 6.

    1. TopBinFC
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Nope, last day is funny depending on who is in CL and FA cup final. I am FH30, WC33 and maybe FH36

      1. Well you know, Triffic
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Last days is goals galore and teams may have must win games.

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Unfortunately current WC draft already has 10 players from top 6 teams and I'm looking to carry them till season end. so FH33 and 36 for me.

      1. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        make that 9, Spurs not in top 6

  27. boombaba
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Digne to Tierney for GW30? Got 5.1m to spend? Already got Kilman and Doherty

    1. OptimusBlack
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

    2. OptimusBlack
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe get White and use extra cash elsewhere

  28. CoracAld2831
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    My team:

    Sa
    Saiss-Doherty-TAA
    Saka-Raphinha-Salah-Son-Kulusevski
    Lacazette-Jimenez

    Ramsdale-Dennis-B.Williams-Manquillo

    0,2m/1 FT

    Optimal move?

    A: Raphinha -> Barnes to free
    B: Williams/Manquillo ->Amartey
    C: Save a transfer and go with 9 players
    D: Other, what?

  29. Bonus magnet
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Is Salah injured ?

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      no, he is training
