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.

    It's clear Poch needs to start games without Sterling. No leadership, out of form and completely selfish

  2. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Has Salah been called up into the Egypt squad for the game in Cario on Friday night against NZ?

    Assuming so, then if the squad switch up is to accomadate him on your wildcard that's a good enough reason to wait until Saturday.

  3. g40steve

    That’s the last pen in a Chelsea shirt for Sterling tool

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

      His pen record must be horrible?

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

    Imagine Chelsea buying someone like Kvaratskhelia, you know someone who would actually be worth the money.

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Already have Mudryk there who doesn't even start that regularly as it is though

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

        The difference is that Kvaratskhelia is a great player, that is why I said it would be worth the money.

        1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
          • 5 Years
          1 year, 8 months ago

          Of course it could be, but they can't just keep buying a new player for every position every season. Can't spend £90m on a player one year for an 8 year contract and decide he's done 9 months later

  5. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Jhon Duran to be the differential pick today?

    1. Lucky Z
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      No way, everybody captained him

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

    What's wrong with that header games gone way too soft

  7. The Mandalorian
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    I had a nightmare last night that my FH team only scored 12 points.

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

      You live at No.12 Elm St? Currently residing at 13

    2. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Mines on 8 but............
      No Watkins gives me Muniz 13
      And my triple threat Whammers of Kudus-Paqueta-Bowen
      Bow Down Peasant.

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

        Still got Areola/Bowen/Kudus/Watkins.... Serf....

  8. The Pep Revolution
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Two questions please:

    1. Is Kiwior likely to start most weeks or at serious risk of rotation?

    2. Is Havertz a viable alternative to Saka?

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

      I think he will hold down LB but not worth the risk.

      Havertz probably the kind of move to consider if chasing hard but no way would I go there.

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

      1. Arsenal have a busy schedule in April so I think Zinchenko/Tomiyasu will get game time.

      2. No

    3. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Havertz is definitely a viable option.

      When trading off against a single player it can become more entrenched.

      His points will help you more, if Saka isn't hurting you.

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

    60 Million for Cucurella is the biggest robbery I have ever seen in my life.

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

      They mentioned nearly 70, 68m

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

        I looked I saw 50 million to 70 million, but yes they did say 68 million, which again maybe the worst deal ever.

        1. Freshy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          1 year, 8 months ago

          On the Chelsea side 146 for Hazard to RM is the topps

  10. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Who to bench?

    1. White v MCI (A)
    2. Gabriel v MCI (A)
    3. Stones v ARS (H)

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

      2

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Probably Gabriel but it's 2 weeks a way and a lot can happen.

      England v Brazil on Saturday should feature 2 of them.

      I'm guessing Ben White won't be watching at Wembley!

  11. _Greg
    • 15 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Please blank Watkins. Just for me mate. You've got a lovely way about you.

  12. romperstomper
    • 16 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Why didn't palmer take the Chelsea penalty?

    1. The Night Trunker.
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      To get to the other side.

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

      They want to keep it close.

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

    Muniz is an awkward pick if you have BB remaining as he has Liverpool in 34 and City in 37

    1. Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      He's currently fixture proof

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

        Yes but one game only, they have no fixtures to rearrange

        1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
          • 5 Years
          1 year, 8 months ago

          No-one is going to have 15 DGWers on a BB in either of those weeks surely

          1. AC/DC AFC
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            1 year, 8 months ago

            Don't many set their season stall out just on that.

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

            I might? And if not I’d ideally like the sgw players to have a decent fixture. You’d imagine mid table Fulham who are safe from relegation but not threatening to get into Europe and with little to play for may not get much against Liverpool and City chasing the title.

            I’m not saying Muniz is a bad pick, he has been class, with great stats, and at 4.5 little to no risk. Just doesn’t suit BB

            1. AC/DC AFC
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              1 year, 8 months ago

              Tbf he is home in those fixtures.

              2 tough ones
              3 easier ones
              4 medium ones

              Seems a reasonable bet.

        2. THFC4LIFE
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          1 year, 8 months ago

          Pool fixtures will be rearranged if Pool reach fa cup semi

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

            Yes, this would change things. I’ll probably FH in 34 due to my City and Pool players missing and BB 37. Muniz dgw would still be Pool and City though right?

        3. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          1 year, 8 months ago

          If he keeps doing the business week to week he's worth it at that price

          Especially if you want Salah, Haaland and expensive midfielders too.

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

            Yep, but so many enablers that you can get that anyway with 3 forwards that have doubles.

            1. AC/DC AFC
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              1 year, 8 months ago

              Which ones would you prefer?

              I'm highly likely making it a permanent switch this week.

    2. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      He a first off the bencher

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

      Oooo-eer! H/T taxi for Sterling... Palmer coldly puts it away

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

    Sterling... next shot will probably hit a car outside. Just gets worse and worse

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

    *Insert generic Sterling comment*

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      He's involved...

      Well, not for England anymore.

  19. tiger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    This time Sterling passes it...so it ends in a goal from Palmer

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

    Palmer is the one G

    1. g40steve

    Dear god how bad is Sterling

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

      Just assisted.

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

        And? He has been shocking

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

          Wouldn't get an assist if he was that bad.

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

    Cool Palmer G

  24. Sgt. Schultz
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    never in doubt lol

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

    And then he goes and does that haha.

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

    Awful finish from Sterling, wasn't on target haha. Don't understand why he doesn't go across the keeper there

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

    Credit to him for the good assist for Palmer.

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

      Should have done that last weekend...

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

    Look what happens when Sterling squares it to Palmer...

  29. romperstomper
    • 16 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    At what point does Palmer's output start to look like bad business from city

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

      It already does.

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      He didn't want to leave but he did want to play and didn't want to be Pepped.

      Fair play.

      Pep let him go too which is fair enough as well.

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

    Cole Palmer is the opposite it is a joke that he did not cost 100 million.

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

      This.

      Chelsea have done some daft things in recent years, but buying Palmer was an absolutely genius move.

      I know us QPR fans are supposed to hate everything and anything to do with Chelsea, but I love Cole Palmer!
