In case you missed the original article, which came out during the FA Cup lull, our third and final Fantasy Premier League (FPL) cup competition for the 2025/26 campaign is now open for entry.

Once again, there are £300-worth of prizes on offer.

This tournament is for paid subscribers (aka Chief Scouts), 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 GMT on Monday 16 March. 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 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. 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 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

    Play Wilson or hill?

    1. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      Always start the attacker. Let's talk FPL charged me £25 for that advice.

      1. ‘Tis the Season
        • 8 Years
        6 months, 19 days ago

        Lol

    2. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      Wilson, but it's close

    3. lilmessipran
      • 14 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      W

  2. FPL Virgin

    I have entered the scout cup but if I win I will be denied the prize by manual intervention by the writing staff who ignore me 🙁

    1. DARE TO BISCAN
      • 8 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      Preemptive whining. A new, new low 😀

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 months, 19 days ago

        New?

  3. DARE TO BISCAN
    • 8 Years
    6 months, 19 days ago

    Hello. Couple of questions:

    Raya
    Gab, Virgil, O'Reilly
    Semenyo, Bruno(c), Dango, Wilson
    Thiago, Haaland, JPedro(vc)

    (Dub, Rice, Senesi, Chalobah) 1FT, £0.1m

    1) Haaland > Ekitike this GW, or roll
    2) bench one of Rice, Dango, Wilson
    3) start O'Reilly or Senesi

    Guess the main one is: who scores more points in gw30, Robot or Ekitike?

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      Ekitike

      Dango

      O'Reilly

    2. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      Roll.
      Wilson.
      O'Reilly.

    3. DALEDOBACK
      • 6 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      I think team looks good and you have bench order correct. Roll you will need the free transfer next week.

      1. DARE TO BISCAN
        • 8 Years
        6 months, 19 days ago

        If I use the 1FT this week. I'll only need 1FT next week.
        It'll most likely be Haaland and Rice out, next week, if I roll.

  4. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    6 months, 19 days ago

    Pedro or Rice?

    The Pedro move uses 2 FTs.

    It's only for Gw30 and 31 to upgrade Guiu and play 11 in Gw31 then wildcard into a revised squad for the blanks/doubles etc.

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      Pedro is a priority in this form

    2. DARE TO BISCAN
      • 8 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      Prefer to have Pedro, based on info forthcoming from you

  5. SIMBOBIANTHEIII
    6 months, 19 days ago

    Long term:
    A Pickford + Gabriel
    B Raya + Timber + 0.5

    1. SIMBOBIANTHEIII
      6 months, 19 days ago

      And why please?

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 months, 19 days ago

        A. Because you have to have Gabriel one way or another.

    2. lilmessipran
      • 14 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      A

      1. SIMBOBIANTHEIII
        6 months, 19 days ago

        Even with arsenal double?

        1. Ze_Austin
          • 7 Years
          6 months, 19 days ago

          You have enough FTs before then to get a double up that includes Gabriel

          1. SIMBOBIANTHEIII
            6 months, 19 days ago

            I cant afford gab and another arsenal.

            1. Ze_Austin
              • 7 Years
              6 months, 19 days ago

              You'll be able to by then. It's 3 FTs away

              There's a mid you can sell for Anderson/KDH/Stach, a defender you can sell for Hill, etc

              They'll become much easier to sell after they disappoint in BGW31

    3. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      Gabriel is still the priority

  6. Joelinton Travel Tavern
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    6 months, 19 days ago

    Sell Rice for:

    A) MGW
    B) Tavernier
    C) Keep Rice, sell next week

    Play one of:
    A) H Wilson
    B) Dalot

    Cheers

    1. SIMBOBIANTHEIII
      6 months, 19 days ago

      C A

    2. lilmessipran
      • 14 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      CA

    3. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      C, for Anderson

      Wilson by some distance. Dalot isn't nailed. Wouldn't even have him as first sub

  7. Koflok
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    6 months, 19 days ago

    Play Chalobah or Hill?

    1. SIMBOBIANTHEIII
      6 months, 19 days ago

      Hill

    2. lilmessipran
      • 14 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      H

    3. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      Start Hill. Chalobah third sub

  8. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 10 Years
    6 months, 19 days ago

    Which option:

    A) Tavernier Anderson(NFO) Haaland
    B) Rogers Semenyo Pedro

    WC in 32

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      Depends on which City attacker starts

      Form (over months) says Pedro Semenyo Anderson, if you can get to that combo

  9. cescpistols1
    • 11 Years
    6 months, 19 days ago

    Who we do think scores more points this week - Rice or MGW?

    1. Cojones of Destiny
      • 8 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      MGW

  10. -GK22-
    • 14 Years
    6 months, 19 days ago

    GTG?

    Raya
    Gabriel, VVD, O’Reilly
    Semenyo, Bruno (c), Dango, Wilson*
    Haaland, Ekitike, Thiago (vc)

    Dubravka, Andersen, Rodon, Summerville**

    1. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      Switch captaincies.

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 14 Years
        6 months, 19 days ago

        You high?

        1. FPL Virgin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          6 months, 19 days ago

          Spurs are decimated... Mentally and with injuries.

          1. Ze_Austin
            • 7 Years
            6 months, 19 days ago

            It's still not made me trust Ekitike enough to cap

            1. FPL Virgin
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              6 months, 19 days ago

              Depends on if you're chasing. Bruno the Safe pick.

    2. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      If you have a FT, Summerville to Anderson

      Your bench might come down to just Rodon, and this is the riskiest week for that

  11. Cojones of Destiny
    • 8 Years
    6 months, 19 days ago

    which option lads 2fts:
    a. Haaland to Eki
    b. Wilson or Rogers to Tav (which if yes ?)

    1. ball c
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      B. Rogers

  12. ‘Tis the Season
    • 8 Years
    6 months, 19 days ago

    Play Wilson or take out Barnes for Thiago for a hit

    1. ‘Tis the Season
      • 8 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      And play 343

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE

      Wilson

    3. Ze_Austin

      Wilson

    How vi much of minutes risk you think there is for Ekitike next gw31? Obviously very tempted to bring in against Spurs, but looking at 2 gw horizon here

    1. Sir Michael Taker
      • 12 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      Two week gap after 31 until the cup game. He might get called up by France for the break but that's not Liverpool's problem really.

    2. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      Alternatives with form and mins: Pedro, Sesko and Bowen

    Caicedo on who the most underrated Chelsea player is:

    “Joao Pedro. People don’t know how good he is. So, for me, he’s one of the best, not just in the Premier League, but in the world, because of his movements, how he plays, how he scores. He has everything for me as a striker.”

    Iam really cashing what do u think of these moves
    A- Keep Wilson & Haaland + 2FT

    B- Haaland & Brobbey >
    Pedro & Ekitiké (Bench Wilson)
    Get Pedro & Ekitike

    C- Try to get 2 Differental players for next two GWS

    1. Cojones of Destiny

      hard one , if I was chasing i’d go crazy and go for differentials by now

  23. Big Mike
    • 4 Years
    6 months, 19 days ago

    A) Haaland
    B) Ekitike
    C) Bruno
    D) Semenyo
    E) Thiago

    Who would you captain?

    1. jonnybhoy
      • 13 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      Between A and C

    2. Dynamic Duos
      • 13 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      B

    3. Conners
      • 7 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      C feels safest

    4. threeputt
      • 17 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      All valid. I have a similar dilemma although I don't have Ekitike (debating).
      My concerns: Semenyo due a rest ? Hunch Utd could struggle v Villa. Haaland doesn't seem to know where the goal is. Thiago v Wolves is tempting

    5. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      (C)Bruno (V)Gabriel for me

      I don't trust Ekitike or Thiago in a single GW. Would rather have them and catch the random hauls

      Haaland hasn't been the same since GW18. Not an option until Pep changes something or you get lucky with a pen

      Semenyo is normally reliable, but I'm not as sure of a start as I was last GW

  24. abaalan
    • 10 Years
    6 months, 19 days ago

    Gyokeres to Ekitike ?

    1. Big Mike
      • 4 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      Short term, Gyokeres. Long term Ekitike.

    2. jonnybhoy
      • 13 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      I would

    3. Il Capitano

      Yes

    4. Big Mike
      • 4 Years

      Sorry, mis read question. Yes.

    5. DARE TO BISCAN

      6 months, 19 days ago

      Yes

    6. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years

      Yes - terday

    7. Cojones of Destiny
      • 8 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      do it

  25. jonnybhoy
    • 13 Years
    6 months, 19 days ago

    Not sure what to do here. 0.3TB 2FT. Between A an D ATM as plan to WC32. If i do D not sure who I bench from the front 8 as I think Wilson starts but concerned around J Pedro ownership and Salah could be a great differential.

    Sanchez
    Gabriel Timber Munoz*
    Bruno F Dango Wilson Mbuemo
    Haaland Ekitike Thiago

    Dubravka Alderete Enzo Gudmundsson

    A) Roll and Play Alderete (BHA H) if Munoz out
    B) Sanchez to Kelleher
