Enter our FFS Members Cup now and win prizes

Our third and final Fantasy Premier League (FPL) cup competition for the 2024/25 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: 

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 that offers 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 who is 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 30, with the first round running in Gameweek 31.

Fantasy managers can enter their teams in the FFS Members Cup until 23:59 BST on Thursday 3 April. 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 (especially as the turnaround from Gameweek 30 to 31 is so tight). So doubly make sure you’ve got the correct ID!

To check that you’re entered correctly, please scan the FFS Members Cup entrants list.

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 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
  • Qualifying – Gameweek 30
  • Round 1 – Gameweek 31
  • Round 2 – Gameweek 32
  • Round 3 – Gameweek 33
  • Round 4 – Gameweek 34
  • Round 5 – Gameweek 35
  • Quarter-Final – Gameweek 36
  • Semi-Finals – Gameweek 37
  • Final and third place play-off – Gameweek 38

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.

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

    Give THE MENTACULUS what he wants, Scout! He's a ruddy good bloke and needs to be welcomed back into the fold. Show him some love and reinstate his mod powers.

      It's not really a case of one or two simple demands that could be offered to bring me back. What I'd like to see is a fundamenal reorientation of how FFS engage with the community and clear channels of communication opened between those responsible for the site's direction and mods/members/users. But I guess that will take years if it happens at all, and right now I think I at least need a break from worrying about that.

      Although actually I do have one simple request which is being denied - trying to cancel my membership & being met with this message "Unable to cancel subscription. Please contact support@fantasyfootballscout.co.uk". Had heard about this from other members and it really is outrageous to not be able to process this request immediately and automatically.

      1. Merlin the Wraith
        • 8 Years
        1 month, 3 days ago

        Wow! I'd heard various tales of this but that really is shocking. This is going to make a lot of peeps think hard before signing up no matter how they talk up any 'benefits'. Good luck fella!

        Doesn't that just sum it all up 😆

        Hi The Mentaculus,

        I can confirm your membership is cancelled and will not renew further. This issue happens from time-to-time and all support email queries are answered promptly. I have elevated the issue to the tech team. Have a good rest of week!

          FFS must have a different definition of 'prompt' than most

        I guess you are extremely irked if you are cancelling your membership as well. Can you not be a simple mod for a while and put the sweeping reforms on the backburner? As you can see, there is a lot of affection for you on here. Sam seems like she is happy to open a line of communication to work on things in the medium term.

      On WC:

      1. Bruno Evanilson
      2. Elanga Mateta

      1. Merlin the Wraith
        • 8 Years
        1 month, 3 days ago

        2 if Mateta confirmed fit. (officially). Difficult dgw32 but can score against anyone.

      2. TheBiffas
        • 4 Years

      Is it worth taking a -4 for Haaland just before WC or get Marmoush for free?

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        1 month, 3 days ago

        Neale has been musing that Marmoush may not be selected or do well against a low block.

      2. FFScout Tom
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years

        Would you captain him over Mo?

      Crazy man, used a free hit last week and hit my best rank of the season so far but it’s all smoke and mirrors. Now I have 4 players flagged 75% Palmer, Wood, Watkins, Robinson and Dunk at 50% and Cunha 0% = and that is after ditching Hall and TAA with my 2FT this GW! I

      A. -4 to have at least 9 players
      B. -8 to have at least 10 player
      C. At least 2 of Palmer, Wood, Watkins, Robinson will start…
      D. Time to WC

      Thanks!

      3. Camzy

    8. Udogie-style
      • 1 Year
      1 month, 3 days ago

      Thoughts on current GW30 WC?

      Raya (Pope)
      Munoz, Kerkez, Milenkovic (Timber, Lewis)
      Salah (VC), Kluivert, Bowen, Sarr (Gordon)
      Haaland (C), Mateta, Evanilson

      Plan is to do Haaland to Isak for GW31 and then will find a way of getting him back if needed for a City double.

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        1 month, 3 days ago

        No Isak, start again. He's one of the most essential players imo with good fixtures and a DGW in 32.

        1. Udogie-style
          • 1 Year
          1 month, 3 days ago

          I wrote underneath - will do Haaland to Isak in GW31.

          1. Camzy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            1 month, 3 days ago

            I think it's quite a crummy plan tbh. You float tons of money. I'd just find a way to get both in and drop Evanilson.

          2. Uncle Baby Billy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 4 Years
            1 month, 3 days ago

            I'm wildcarding as well and had the same plan regarding moving Haaland to Isak in 31, mate.

            What puts me off the idea is that playing a wildcard with a locked in transfer planned for the next week seems a bit counter productive. That combined with the (real) possibility that Haaland goes on the rampage against Leicester means you'd be selling FF royalty a week after he monster hauls convinced me to start again. Another eventuality to consider is that if you get unlucky with injuries happening you could end up having to sell Haaland (of all people) for a hit.

            I chopped and changed to find a combination that includes both. It'll go pear shaped, no doubt, it always does.

            Now to get back to the drama surrounding this mod lad telling the Politburo where to stick their job... you know, the really important stuff.

        2. Mozumbus
          • 3 Years
          1 month, 3 days ago

          Exactly

    9. TheBiffas
      • 4 Years
      1 month, 3 days ago

      Crazy to go Wood over Mateta on wildcard?

      1. x.jim.x
        • 10 Years
        1 month, 3 days ago

        See how Mateta gets on this weekend but all signs point to 'yes'

    10. CONNERS
      • 6 Years
      1 month, 3 days ago

      Not exactly groundbreaking I know, but I've come to the conclusion that a GW30 WC squad doesn't look dramatically different to a GW31 WC.

      Haaland, Salah, Kluivert, 3x Palace, 3 x Newcastle, 2 or 3 x Arsenal and 1 x Forest defence.

      It's really just your final midfielder, keeper and 1 or 2 defenders that might change across the two WC's as far as I see it.

      For those currently without Haaland or any Palace players for GW30 (like me), I think it's likely you'll lose more than you'll gain in waiting an extra week.

      1. x.jim.x
        • 10 Years
        1 month, 3 days ago

        That's the logic most have been working on I think - you're basically gambling on the DGWs confirmation to attack the City and Palace fixtures.

        1. CONNERS
          • 6 Years
          1 month, 3 days ago

          Yeah, pretty much.

      2. TheBiffas
        • 4 Years
        1 month, 3 days ago

        Is there any need for 2/3 Arsenal?

        1. CONNERS
          • 6 Years
          1 month, 3 days ago

          I'm trying to get double Arsenal defence on WC.

          If we get a clear update that Saka's return is ahead of schedule, then of course he'd be the third, but it would require some shifting around of funds to accommodate him.

      3. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        1 month, 3 days ago

        Yep. I came to this conclusion in GW29 and activated WC immediately after deadline.

        Those remaining slots are cheap and you just fill them with players from teams that are through in the cup.

    11. Merlin the Wraith
      • 8 Years
      1 month, 3 days ago

      No confirmation of Gvardiol 'injury' yet? Am struggling to think of any City I'd want to gamble on for their poss DGW apart from the obvious Haaland (that I wouldn't be able to afford). Just a risky Marmoush at the moment.

    12. Boomerang V
      • 8 Years
      1 month, 3 days ago

      which NEW triple up is better:
      A) Burn, Trippier, Isaak
      B) Burn, J. Murphy, Isaak
      ?

      1. TheBiffas
        • 4 Years
        1 month, 3 days ago

        B

      2. TheBiffas
        • 4 Years
        1 month, 3 days ago

        Despite their defensive performance in the cup final, Newcastle are still leaky at the back

        1. Boomerang V
          • 8 Years
          1 month, 3 days ago

          thanks!

    13. FDMS All Starz
      • 9 Years
      1 month, 3 days ago

      Early thoughts, roll FT?

      Still have FH,WC,BB,TC & 3FTs
      Team:

      Henderson
      Munoz Gabriel Milenkovic
      Salah Mbuemo Kluivert Bowen
      Isak Wissa Haaland

      Sa Dango Castagne Mykolenko

      1. TheBiffas
        • 4 Years
        1 month, 3 days ago

        That looks almost like a wildcard team. Easy roll

      2. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        1 month, 3 days ago

        Yes, roll that for sure

    14. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      1 month, 3 days ago

      Early thoughts on this lot? Wissa to Mateta if fit seems logical however Brentford on a very good run of away form.

      Pickford
      Milenkovic, Ait Nouri, Munoz
      Salah, Palmer*, Mbuemo, Bowen
      Isak, Wood*, Wissa

      Fab, Munetsi, Robinson*, Tarkowski

      2ft and 3.1itb

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years

        *1ft not 2

    15. Boomerang V
      • 8 Years
      1 month, 3 days ago

      Is Wood injury bad?

      I am on WC. Thinking about downgrading to J.Pedro but I have .8 invested in him so I am reluctant to remove him…

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        1 month, 3 days ago

        I read initial updates was that it’s not deemed to be serious but need a full update after he returns to Nottingham. They play Brighton on Saturday anyway so we will have an update before deadline

    16. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      1 month, 3 days ago

      Munetsi has been playing since gw25 and they still haven’t given him an image on FPL. Harsh

      1. Merlin the Wraith
        • 8 Years
        1 month, 3 days ago

        Ghosts into the box so difficult to catch a pic of him.

    17. FPL Sanky
      • 1 Year
      1 month, 3 days ago

      How's this WC draft looking? Obviously will monitor the FA cup results during the weekend

      Kepa Areola
      Gvardiol N.Williams Munoz Burn Anderson
      Salah Sarr Kluivert Rogers MGW
      Haaland Isak Mateta

      Exact 1.5 ITB to get Howe in GW31

      1. TheBiffas
        • 4 Years
        1 month, 3 days ago

        I'd try and get some arsenal defence... Could raise funds by doing MGW to Elanga?

        1. FPL Sanky
          • 1 Year
          1 month, 3 days ago

          I can do MGW to Elanga and Kepa to Raya....will still leave me some money to upgrade Anderson to a 4.6m and still have 1.5 ITB....thanks

          1. TheBiffas
            • 4 Years
            1 month, 3 days ago

            Cool, I'm on Howe AM too, best of luck

        1. Merlin the Wraith
          • 8 Years

          15 days of contemplating my wildcard & scratching my runes. Still no clear vision.

      Roll and save WC?

      Pickford
      Saliba, Aina, RAN
      Salah, Bruno, Bowen, Kluivert, Palmer
      Isak, Wood

      Fab, Wissa, Robinson, Davis

      1. Bleh
        • 8 Years
        1 month, 3 days ago

        Yep. Would start Wissa ahead of Wood because at least we know he’ll play 90 mins.

      2. Debauchy
        • 12 Years
        1 month, 3 days ago

        In the main yes , you could and perhaps should also bring in a Palace player this gw and WC 31.
        Wait for further news of course as to likely starters.

          Oh! Thanks for the heads up.
          I might prioritise BB32 over Manager chip which i think I have time to use.
          FH can wait

        Of course you can change after FA cup results but if set on BB 32
        then Elanga over CHO perhaps ? otherwise looks good for 32.

          Thanks.
          Elanga is there in the watch list.
          What are the chances he'll outscore CHO in the coming GWs?

            I would think he will , but you will only want him for 32 and 33 if Palace win their FA cup game . You will likely bench most games after.

              After kind responses from fellows here, did CHO > Sarr. Do you think it's a good move?

        I would not be picking Semenyo on WC given he’s on 9 yellow cards so 1 away from 2 game ban- no Palace surprising given they double in 32 and could double in 33- Munoz and one of Mateta/Sarr/Eze as a minimum

          Thanks a bunch.
          Did CHO + Semenyo > Sarr + Kluivert

          Agree , missed Semenyo there

        It's a bit different but looks fairly good.

        Pedro could be a good pick with Lei in 32 then a possible double.

        The only criticism would be the midfield structure, specifically the number of cheap mids which would make it difficult to upgrade to Bruno or Saka (if they double in 33) without a significant downgrade elsewhere.

          Thanks
          Idea is to have a team with Salah, Haaland, Isak and heavy Arsenal defense.
          In the mid, I'm now doing CHO + Semenyo > Sarr + Kluivert after the above comment.
          Trying to keep funds for the manager chip.
          Had 2.0 ITB, now 0.5 after these two changes.

            Sounds good.

            The AM chip does make it a bit more difficult with the reduced budget and other chips to plan for.

              That's a concern yes. I might need to offload one of the Arsenal defenses and use a transfer to generate funds.

      Anything need changing here? 1.0 ITB.
