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 in Gameweek 29, with the first round running in Gameweek 30.

Fantasy managers can enter their teams in the FFS Members Cup until 23:59 GMT on Sunday 17 March. We will make the first-round draw after Gameweek 29 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 1-8 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 29 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

  • Qualifying – Gameweek 29
  • Round 1 – Gameweek 30
  • Round 2 – Gameweek 31
  • Round 3 – Gameweek 32
  • Round 4 – Gameweek 33
  • Round 5 – Gameweek 34
  • Quarter-Final – Gameweek 35
  • Semi-Finals – Gameweek 36
  • Final and third place play-off – Gameweek 37

WHEN ARE THE FIXTURES RELEASED?

Where possible, the fixture list for each round will be published before each Gameweek deadline.

PRIZES

Overall Prizes
The prizes for both cups are as follows:

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

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.

DO I NEED TO BE REGISTERED WITH FANTASY FOOTBALL SCOUT?

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.

    Watkins starts then

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Areola CS would be much better than whatever almost irrelevant Watkins does. His EO is over 95%

      1. Philosopher's Stones
        • 5 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        Yeah, need a Bowen hattie and Areola to save 2 pens and keep a cleanie.

        1. FFS ManU
          • 3 Years
          1 year, 8 months ago

      3. FFS ManU
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        If he starts, as he is down to, then it will block bench returns for quite a few FPL teams. That would suit me as I am not on a FH and have no playing subs.

    2. Shark Team
      • 8 Years

      Jackson is essential

  8. Conners
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Emerson back too. 2 points from him would feel like a good result this week.

    1. Shark Team
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Good for Bailey owners

  9. TheBiffas
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Considering going for a front 8 of Salah, Saka, Son, Foden, Palmer, Watkins, Darwin, Muniz

    1. g40steve
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      That’s where i am, Haalands not ripping up the league & City don’t play to his strengths

    2. Conners
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      That's the front 8 i'd have on WC.

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Haaland isn't needed anymore.

      1. Merlin the Wraith
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        Not willing to take that risk.

    4. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Is going without Haaland going to work?

    5. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Not sure I want Saka yet. I prefer Maddison vs Luton first.

  10. g40steve
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Nice defending for Leics Sterling

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

  17. Shark Team
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Palmer not taking the pen and Sterling misses it

  18. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Worst on target pen of all time

    1. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Was probably off target until it hit a bobble

  19. JBG
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Looool, seriously Sterling just retire.

  20. Milk, 1 Šuker
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Mmm maybe Palmer should keep pens permanently. Terrible from Sterling

  21. Randaxus
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Sterling is useless

  22. Tonyawesome69
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Lol Sterling taking the pen off Cold Palmer and misses big time

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Absolute terrible pen. Doesn't bury it down middle, poor side foot effort

  23. Paul Psychic Octopus
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Have a team doing seriously well in the Telegraph game. (with Palmer in my team of course)

    Appalling management by Poch, letting useless Sterling take it. Seriously p***d off.

  24. BobB
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Palmer will surely be back on pens..shoudn't have been taken off them

    1. Merlin the Wraith
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      He will be when it matters. Would prefer Cold Palmer to Steaming Sterling.

      1. BobB
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        I think it matters at 1-0 in the first half

  25. Randaxus
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    It was clearly a pity penalty because he won it.

  26. Reddonkeyham 42
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    45 minutes to injure Watkins guys, we can do this guys.

  27. Free Hat
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Taking the pen to gain more confidence really backfired there

  28. Conners
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Moyes was going to start Earthy in today's game, but apparently he's solied himself.

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      It was really Aguerd

  29. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Chelsea will move Sterling on, maybe not this summer but seems inevitable. Meant to be one of the players who sets the standards for the younger ones, no wonder Chelsea are so rubbish.

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Turkey or Qatar?

    2. JBG
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Well that pen was kinda the standard of their season so far, tbf to him.

      But yeah seriously, needs to be moved on

  30. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Sanchez is not very good is he
