The Gameweek 30 deadline may have passed but our third and final Fantasy Premier League (FPL) cup competition for the 2024/25 campaign is still open for entry – although only until midnight tonight.

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

£300-worth of prizes are on offer, too.

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.

      How's this for a WC draft?
      Not too sure about Mateta/Gordon tho; could always go Watkins/Savinho instead or get Watkins by downgrading Kerkez

        Tough but probably Savinho for me.

      2. WVA
        • 9 Years
        8 months, 8 days ago

        Rogers so inconsistent and playing the best defence in the league?

      3. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 months, 8 days ago

        Rogers IMO. Forest are good and wasn't too long ago everyone on here hated him as a 1-2 point merchant.

    • FPLCEO
      • 16 Years
      8 months, 8 days ago

      For those of you who have already used free hit (like me) what are you planning for WC?

      Thinking ideal would be to wait to GW34 but there may be a way to work it before then.

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        8 months, 8 days ago

        You don't want to WC in 34. WC in 34 means having Newcastle and Chelsea players for that week who then have poor fixtures in 35-38.

        I'd either WC sooner to take advantage of the upcoming doubles and aim to squeeze past 34 or else try to WC in 35.

      Tends to be reliable with fixture announcements

      Gabriel is expected to be out for "number of weeks", more scans to be done today.

      Timber is expected to be fine
      @SamC_reports

      This is taken from that Sam guys tiltok account, where he started sharing news.

      1. mookie
        • 12 Years
        8 months, 8 days ago

        Timber fine means he could play CB. Was looking forward to CCs who WCed to start talking up Kiwior.

        BREAKING: Gabriel Magalhaes is set to miss both legs of the Champions League quarter-final vs Real Madrid. ❌

      3. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 11 Years
        8 months, 8 days ago

        Cheers. I can afford to bench this week then will reassess depending on fixtures announcement

    • Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 12 Years
      8 months, 8 days ago

      Hurry up and announce the fixtures!

    • Tommy Template
      • 11 Years
      8 months, 8 days ago

      Those Arsenal triple defence wildcarders... ouch. I heard Pras was thinking about this masterstroke so no doubt plenty followed him in blind. Already got themselves a booked in defensive transfer and those future cleans have just significantly reduced in likelihood.

      1. mookie
        • 12 Years
        8 months, 8 days ago

        Would've done it as well had I WCed last week. The double up can still work out, but it doesn't look as appealing.

    • Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 months, 8 days ago

      Mateta could actually be the worst pick on wildcard.

      If he's really not with it and gets subbed early/potentially loses his place to Nketiah it's a real problem and he also takes up a valuable Palace slot.

      I'm currently benching him this week as well. Starting to regret picking up. He was more of a 'I don't know who else to pick' selection. Forwards on this wildcard are so unimaginative, and if you did decide to go different you were probably running with Evanilson or Pedro who are both kind of meh options as well.

      There's just no one nice to go for.

      1. WVA
        • 9 Years
        8 months, 8 days ago

        Can’t fit two palace mids in really though

      2. Podorsky
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        8 months, 8 days ago

        Solanke

      3. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 11 Years
        8 months, 8 days ago

        Evanilson was a great pick and I just did the sheep and went mateta

        1. Camzy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          8 months, 8 days ago

          Great is certainly an overstatement. He doesn't often play 90 mins, and Bournemouth have lost 4 of the last 5. I don't like any of the forwards outside of Isak and Marmoush.

      4. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 months, 8 days ago

        No one else there to go for
        Haaland injury sucks!
        Even half considering Jackson and Solanke, it's that bad!

    • RoyaleBlue
      • 14 Years
      8 months, 8 days ago

      Gabriel, Trippier, Isak all on my GW30 WC :’(

    • RoyaleBlue
      • 14 Years
      8 months, 8 days ago

      Sadly neither Glasner nor Emery getting table bonus in 31.

      Is it worth going Frank 31-> Glasner 32/33 and booking in that transfer? Or do I just go straight to Glas and forget about the table bonus this week

    • Tonyawesome69
      • 6 Years
      8 months, 8 days ago

      Here we go!

      DGW33 and BGW34 schedule as predicted.

      https://x.com/OfficialFPL/status/1907765409475899782?t=yzRjcRGP1Q7dEeb8f5FKzQ&s=19

        The Honourable Emissary of Info 🙂

    • Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 months, 8 days ago

      Now that the fixtures are confirmed. What would a GW31 wildcard look like and how different is it to a GW30 one? Is it just Saliba in for Gabriel?

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

        - team dependant on BB32 v 33
        - maybe Saka instead of Palmer
        - maybe switching to AM Arteta after Gabriel injury
        - no mistake with picking Foden

      2. Defcons are for Kinnear
        • 12 Years
        8 months, 8 days ago

        Someone hurry up so I can copy and lock in the WC

      3. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 months, 8 days ago

        Teams basically will be the same ex. Gabriel. No advantage to WCing 31 really.

        1. Sun Jihai
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          8 months, 8 days ago

          Main thing that could shake it up would be if Palmer goes big tonight. Then I think a Saka + Palmer combo team is doable with the Haaland money.
