The winners of our FFS Cup competitions revealed

Gameweek 25 saw the final and third-place play-off of both the FFS Open Cup and FFS Members Cup take place, with £600 worth of prizes up for grabs in total.

It was a round of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) matches where Manchester United, Newcastle United, Brentford and Brighton and Hove Albion did not participate, to truly test the remaining managers.

A reminder that these are the old-school cups that we run via our own site, although they are very similar to the ones you may see in the ‘Cups’ tab on your FPL team page. The winner of each tie is determined by that Gameweek’s highest score, minus any points hits.

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

FFS OPEN CUP

The full results from previous rounds can be viewed here

Congratulations to Colombo Geezers, after a fairly comfortable 90-72 win over TwoTon Ted. Although his captaincy of Bukayo Saka was superior to the opponent’s Mohamed Salah, it was in defence where this victory took place.

Aaron Ramsdale, Nathan Ake and Andrew Robertson bagged 24 points, whereas James Tarkowski, Seamus Coleman and Kepa Arrizabalaga totalled just three.

Third place goes to Spectrum, where Captain Salah and Eddie Nketiah secured 27 points but his opponent’s reversal of this was just 21. Added to WEAK BECOME HEROS‘ four-point hit, victory was ensured.

FFS MEMBERS CUP

Meanwhile, over at the FFS Members Cup, Mani10000g also needs congratulations for such success. Both finalists made the exact same three transfers but, despite Whitty benefitting from Arsenal’s two clean sheets and a better captain, it was decided on their only midfield difference – Gabriel Martinelli (26) v Andreas Pereira (1).

Ranked 4,739th in the world, Mani10000g is on a run of nine consecutive green arrows since the Gameweek 17 restart.

Third place goes to Lionac, after a comprehensive win over Alcmckay. A bigger points hit was taken but the combination of having more players, a better captain and a 30-3 defensive landslide secured bronze.

PRIZES

A big well done to the managers above, their prizes are as follows:

  • 1st Place: £150 Amazon voucher
  • 2nd Place: £100 Amazon voucher
  • 3rd Place: £50 Amazon voucher

Please contact geoff@fantasyfootballscout.co.uk for details of how to claim your vouchers.

        Is the gap between 26 wc and 29 the only reason for it? The bench looks much stronger in 29 provided no major injuries etc

          i think so. BB is arguably one of the weakest chips and i’d rather get it out of the way without international break uncertainty

      Have 14/15 of your team (have Robbo instead of Shaw) and I've activated the WC.

      Tark, Gnonto and Bueno are not good players to have going forward plus I needed to shed my double Liverpool players. Could have dragged a team out for gw27, 28 and 29 but would've meant taking a -12 by gw29 and would've meant not having an optimum team for those 3 weeks.

      A Wildcard now has allowed me to field 5 Brighton/Brentford for dgw27 (instead of 2-3), a full and better XI for bgw28, and 13 doublers plus Saka and Kane/Haaland for 29 without needing to take a hit.

      Not many more games needed to reschedule and gw29 will be the biggest gameweek left

        I think i was this, correct me if I am wrong?

        "I now think NEW vs BHA is more likely to move to GW31 than GW 30/35/36

        And I'm more confident that the GW28 Blanks will move to GW34, with the GW32 Blanks moving to GW37"

            GW28 is locked. Blanks will move to some other GW (which happens all the time). So not really a breaking news, just speculating which GW it could get moved.

            (Thats how I read it anyway)

        • 8 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        The big reason to WC now is because 29 is the biggest double and the best (sic) GW to bench boost ... I don't think that is necessarily the case.

        WC 26 is trying to do too much by covering a double in 27, Blank in 28 and double in 29.

        What will a 26 WC team look like in 29 though ? Loads of domestic and IB international games in-between and most players will play 6+ games from 26 to 29.

        Always problems when you don't WC the week before the BB.

        I would personally choose 1 of the 2. and prepare for a straight swap either way. (Not in love with Brentford double GW29)
        Personally, with Kane now available I am going Haaland to Kane in GW27 and having both.
        It is hard to look forward too far atm but Nacho, Felix, Wilson could all play a part some time.
        I think the trickier situation is with the mids as there is a fixture shift GW30 onwards.

      Yes I'd wildcard. Tark, Dawson, JWP, Nketiah, Gnonto and the Liverpool lads need upgrading and there's not enough Brighton or Brentford in the team for gw27.

      Spend some time on a transfer planner and map out your current team up until gw29. If you're taking a -12 to get a good team out for gw27-29 then you're better off using the WC now

          For next 3-4 weeks atleast.

          Brighton players will double in every DGW, if rotated well, you can get best out of them till season end.

          Brentford's fixtures are also alright, so 1-2 of them like Raya and one more could possibly be set and forget.

          Then you can pick obvious players like Rashford and Saka.

          Thats the core, other position you can adjust accordingly based on your taste.

            That's great advice. My Newcastle-fan bias is hoping Mahrez is blanking this week, but realistically has about as much chance of scoring as Mitoma against WH
