Amid a hectic schedule of three Gameweeks within a congested ten-day period, we take time out to reveal who has made it through to the third round of our Fantasy Football Scout Cup and the second round of the Members tournament.

Fantasy Football Scout Cup, Round 3

Two former winners bow out at the second round stage after Wild Rover lost 56-39 to AnytimeScorer and Brucey99 edged past me in a closely fought 44-43 encounter.

This leave a quartet of ex-champions to go into battle once again, with Mark (ranked 37,201) squaring up to Marc Overmata (ranked 120,182), while Gribude (ranked 64,335) has a tough tie against 3,917 placed anthonyheredia.

Sleepysi (ranked 46,917) faces 632,206 placed stephane and Ninja_Fit_Saints (ranked 487,709) encounters FDMS All Starz (ranked 106,873).

Round three’s giant killer to watch out for is Toby Lerone (ranked 76,724), whose Gameweek 17 tally of 33 was enough to see off the second round’s highest placed manager Whats the mata, who plummeted from 82 to 575 in the overall rankings after scoring just 26. Toby takes on the role of Goliath in the next round when he squares up to 262,622 ranked TDJakes.

The highest ranked manager in the competition is now Elvarus, who takes his 154 ranked team into a round three tie with 299,521 placed warsworn.

The full second round results can be viewed here, while the full third round draw can be seen here.

Members Cup, Round 2

There will be a new name on the Members Cup this time around after previous winner Malaikat jihad was beaten on rank after matching his round one opponent Drieet’s score of 48.

Another high profile manager to fall at the first hurdle is the leader of our FFS Members league Heroes & Villains, who, with a rank of 31, was the tournament’s highest-placed manager. His score of 55 was not enough to overcome 8,085 ranked Fozilla28’s tally of 57.

The round two draw also sees Mark encounter the similarly placed Deanamo Jammy (ranked 32,363), while I take on Gypsum Fantastic (ranked 97,128) and Paul (ranked 476,219) faces 19,188 placed lonecomander

The competition’s new top placed manager tisza (ranked 197) will surely fancy his chances against 728,296 ranked Big Mac 24.

Other notable match ups include a top 10,000 clash between the Scoutcast’s Az and community regular Zoumasbloomers, and former FPL champion Tom Fenley’s tie with Spike.

The full first round results can be found here, while the full second round draw can be found here.

      You need another 6 players to get a squad

      No grav

          • 8 Years
          8 years, 18 days ago

          Points are plural

  4. The Overthinker

    Views ? 1FT, .1 ITB

    Courtois
    Azpi - mee - Valencia - otamendi - Gomez
    Salah - sterling - gross
    Morata - Kane

    Elliot rlc niasse Ramsey

    1. Scout Pics
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      You've over committed in defence. I'd be looking to ditch Ramsey for a start.

    2. Matt Sk
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Would downgrade one from Azpi Valencia (probably Azpi as you have courtois) and upgrade in midfield

  5. ZeBestee
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Choose 1 long term

    1) Kabasele (excellent short term fixtures)
    2) Kenny (fix are ok but in a much better team)
    3) Masuaku (Plays virtually as a winger and improved defence with good fixtures).

    1. Scout Pics

    2. OldBenKenobi

      I’ve went 3) also for the DGW

    3. ooooo
      • 8 Years

      3

  6. Coach Taylor
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Best bet defender around 4.8? (already have Smalling, Kenny, Dunk & Ward)

    1. ooooo
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Gomez or ogbonna

      1. Coach Taylor
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        Gomez not facing the risk of rotation too much for you?

        1. OldBenKenobi
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 18 days ago

          Kabasele

        2. Funkyav
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 18 days ago

          as a gomez owner I wouldnt recommend

  7. ooooo
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    So do Azpi + Rich to Christ + Sterling(-4)?

    DDG
    Christ Otamendi Ward
    Hazard Salah Sterling Gray
    Kane Morata DCL.

    Elliot RLC Yedlin Dunk

  8. OldBenKenobi
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    In your case - Kabasele

    Will Richarlson play this week lads.

    1. Scout Pics
      • 8 Years

      Owner but I doubt it

    2. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Press conference tomorrow. But Silva's comments about resting him when the fixtures mount up and what looked like a groin tweak i'm not hopeful.

    3. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Expecting him to get rested but keeping

    4. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      I think it's almost certain he misses the Huddersfield game, if injured.

  11. Karan_G14
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Pope
    Ward! • Ota • Christensen
    Haz • Salah • Cout • Sterling • Richarlison!
    Kane • DCL

    (Elliot / Wimmer / Kiko! / Niasse)
    1 FT & 1.4 ITB

    A) Ward ➡️ Jones
    B) Kiko ➡️ Jones
    C) Kiko & Ward ➡️ Jones & Masuaku (-4)
    D) Ward/Kiko & Richarlison ➡️ Jones & Shaqiri/Lanzini (-4)

    No idea whom to sell/keep.

    Appreciate your thoughts!

    1. Kuqi Monster

      A

      You have Pope so might as well cash in Ward. Wouldn't bring in Jones personally but that seems to a be popular move.

  12. Jake Donahue
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Daniels to.....
    A. Jones (will he play)
    B. Cheap hammer

    1. Kuqi Monster

      A

    2. justmatt
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      I’m considering Ward to Jones myself. Ditched Daniels last week.

  13. WrightnBright
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    I think another -8 ison the cards! Really fancy a 5 man midfield

    How does this look?
    Rangel, RLC, Morata > Jones, Silva. DCL

    Speroni
    Otamendi Jones Ward
    Salah Coutinho Silva Sterling Haz
    Kane DCL
    Subs: Hennessy Kenny Niasse Mariappa

  14. _figu

    Good luck every one still in FFS Cup and Fpl Cup. Out of both, filthy casuals and dead teams killed me 😛

    1. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Same here. I have gone around 11 greens in last 13 gw's until gw16 when i faced a certain George who had his best score of the season (i had 65 to his 72) and of course gw17 lost to a dead team with Kaku captain and Aurrier in his team.

      1. _figu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        Benched Ota against United as I didn't want him to do well. Opponent had him coming in from bench and won me in the FFS Cup haha. I blame Lukaku.

        1. ZeBestee
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 18 days ago

          I think if you want to do well in fpl, be an FPL supporter rather than your own team when making decisions

  15. Kuqi Monster
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Ogbonna or Masuaku?

    1. Jake Donahue
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Ogbonna

    2. Scout Pics
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Oggie

  16. Prison Mike
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Ward & Daniels -> Jones & Ogbonna (-4)

    Yay or Nay?

    1. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Not for a hit.

      1. Prison Mike
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        Good long term move that should pay off the hit maybe?

        Ogbonna could be Robertson or a Watford defender...

        1. _figu
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 18 days ago

          Yeah, I guess. Just don't like Jones in this time of the year. Possibly bringing him in January if he survives without injuries. I would very much prefer Robertson actually if you don't need that cash difference short term for any moves.

          I actually took a hit last gameweek for 2 defenders so not against it 😛 Daniels, Fernandez out and brought in Kabasele (why???) and Kenny. But it enabled me to do Quaner -> DCL this week.

        2. badgerboy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 18 days ago

          Ogbonna's fine. But one of them HAS to keep a clean sheet to break even, no guarentees on that. Good log term move but will be even better with an extra 4 points with it.

          1. Prison Mike
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 18 days ago

            Yeah good point, thanks guys!

    2. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Hits for defenders are risky. Do one this week and the other for free next week.

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Unless ruled out by Silva I would play Richarlison over Duffy with Kenny first on bench

  18. justmatt
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Ditch Ward for who...

    A - Jones
    B - Smalling
    C - Maguire
    D - Kenny

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Jones

    After 6 weeks of getting just above or below the average for the GW I have dropped from 77k to 235k. Need to turn things around. Any suggestions.

      Daniels > Jones or upgrade Elliott, but you can also save

  21. arndff_

    Exact money to do this for free:

    Daniels, Naughton > Christensen, Ogbonna

      yes

      Yup

    3. _figu

      I like it.

        Thanks!

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      yep, very nice. DCL very likely to come on for Richarlison, I suspect.

  23. Pranav Santhosh
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Can I save the FT with this team?
    Pope Elliot
    Christensen mee dann otamendi mbemba
    Sterling salah hazard richalrson loftus cheek
    Kane morata Calvert Lewin
    1FT 0.1ITB
    I'm happy with my forwards and midfield so don't want to take anyone out from there. Not happy with my defence want to get rid of dann eventually and mbemba can probably stay one more week as non playing 5th defender until the fixture get real crazy gw19-22 and Elliot is also a problem. What would you do for this team?

    1. arndff_
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Save.

      1. Pranav Santhosh
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        That's what I was thinking as well thanks

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Yep, save. Mbemba may drop this GW (-97.2), if you're precious about that thing.

      1. Pranav Santhosh
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        Yeah might go early to avoid drop because planned moves are dann to ogbonna Elliot to speroni and mbemba to dunk which is a -4 and leaves 0.0 itb so can't afford price drops

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 18 days ago

          I don't mind missing price rises, but price drops are annoying.

          1. Pranav Santhosh
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 18 days ago

            Yeah would mbemba to long be a bad move? Or just stick to upgrading to someone like dunk

            1. Twisted Saltergater
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 16 Years
              8 years, 18 days ago

              I've brought in Long this week as my 5th defender lol. I'm not expecting him to start many games, but hopefully I won't need him too and he was a makeweight in being able to move Wilson on for Rooney.

  24. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Hmmm 162 points off first... I think there is still a chance...

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      😀

      I daren't check.

    2. arndff_
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Not many of us could catch him. 🙂

    3. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      So you're telling me there's a chance.

    4. AllanM
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Definite chance. Need to get ahead of others getting the right players in a week early. The guy on top will just bring in popular players to try and stop others catching.

  25. ZeBestee
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Whos is with me Kane (C)? o/

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Am still thinking about it. Wouldn't be totally surprised if Man City's win streak comes to an end this weekend.

    2. arndff_
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Going with Hazard but expect him to score 2-3pts. 🙂 Don't know what Kane'll do.

  26. arndff_

    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years

    I bow out of one, but survive another.

    Good luck Gypsum Fantastic, but obviously not too much 😉

    1. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Good luck to you too. Whom you captaining?

      1. J0E
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        Has to be Haz. Happy to reveal as I'll have to say it on the scoutcast later anyway.

        Tho will be keeping a close ear on press conferences for any hints of rotation from Conte.

        Salah my other top option.

  28. Over Midwicket
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Thoughts on Kiko + Ward -> Jones + Masuaku(-4)? Will surely pay back the hit with fixtures and dgw. Especially if he former two are injured.. Yay or nay?

    1. arndff_
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      I'd do it.

      Going for Ogbonna tho, but can't afford Masuaku. 🙁

    2. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Can you get 11 men out without the hit?

    3. Karan_G14
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Depends if you have 11 starters without a hit.
