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.

    Any news on Moreno ?

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

      He's still out. Probably till after Christmas(?)

      1. Salarrivederci
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        Dang it.

        Would have loved to save transfers for the upcoming DGW.

        My team is good enough to hold, but I would hate to lose TV due to him dropping...

        Courtois
        Monreal, Otamendi, Mariappa
        Salah, Sterling, Hazard, Zaha, Richarlison
        Kane, Firmino

        (Speroni, DCL, Masuaku, Moreno)

        1 FT

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

    We will probably have more news tomorrow, but which 2 would you bench?

    A) Mee
    B) Duffy
    C) Otamendi
    D) Richarlison
    E) Gross
    F) Calvert-Lewin

    I'm probably unlikely to bench Otamendi; Richarlison may get ruled out anyway, but it's all food for thought. Mee vs. Gross & Duffy is a thinker though.

    1. John wick
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Guys help me
      A. Moreno to kennyy
      B. Ward to jones for a hit
      C. Any1 right now leaning towards B
      The logic behind the hit for ward next 2 fixtures are spurs and utd
      And want to catch up the price rise of jones
      Any other suggestions

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

      AB for me. And would have Duffy coming first from bench. Maybe I am way off but have a feeling this is a good timing for Brighton to play Burnley. Could see Gross getting returns.

      Benching those other players not an option unless you're captaining Kane.

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

        Thanks. Probably should have mentioned that I can't bench Mee AND Duffy, but every other combination is fine.

        I can see a Gross return, but we know Burnley's defence is good. Toughie.

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

    How was the Burnley presser? How long is Ward out for?

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

      They will "make a late call" on Ward. Mee and Loweton both have a chance of starting.

      Given Mee was a "late call" last GW, I think it is likely Ward gets benched. No need to risk even more injuries.

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

        Assessing him tomorrow. Wasn't clear wether that was an injury assessment or a fitness assessment.

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

      The rest of the year is my guess

  4. 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.

  5. CelticBhoy1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Keep Gross or sell?

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Keep

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

      Would keep

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

      Think about selling, but may wait until after Watford. Not this week as at least you know he'll play.

      Actually has some decent fixtures but seems he may have stopped over-performing of late; other options rearing their heads.

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

    Willian punt anyone?

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

      Will surely start after that performance

    2. Concrete
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Risk of not starting?

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

      Big rotation risk.

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

      I would if I didn't have triple Chelsea. He was superb against Huddersfield.

  7. Concrete
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Moting to Sterling or Silva?

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

      B

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

      Sterling but i wouldnt be suprised of he starts from the bench. Long term

    3. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      I still think sterling has most points potential in long run, but Silva in form and less likely to be rested.

  8. NorwichCityLad
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Gross > Lingard a good move?

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

      Lol never

    2. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Nope

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

        Why

        1. We Will Klopp you
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 18 days ago

          United don't have many goal in them, Lingard never plays the full 90 and could be benched at any time

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

            Thanks lads

  9. We Will Klopp you
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Getting in Masuaku for Ward but will now have a bench headache unless Richarlison is ruled out.

    Bench one of these please

    A) Dunk (Burnley H)
    B) Masuaku (Stoke A)

    1. +
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      I'd bench Masuaku

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        Thanks

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

    Any changes needed?

    DDG - Speroni
    Otamendi - Christensen - Tarkowski - Kabasele - Kenny
    Hazard - Sterling - Salah - Shaqiri - Surman
    Kane - Firmino - DCL

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

      No

    2. Yellin' in my Ear
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Replace Hazard with Sane to complete the midfield set

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

    G2G ?

    DDG
    Otamendi Christensen Ogbonna
    Hazard(C) Salah(VC) Coutinho Richarlison
    Kane Morata Niasse

    Elliot Mee Long RLC

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Would start Mee over Niasse but other than that GTG

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

        Thanks, mate! Going to do this for free (got exact cash):

        Daniels, Naughton > Christensen, Ogbonna

        So you like it, aight? Cheers!

        1. We Will Klopp you
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 18 days ago

          Yup, good moves

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

            Hm... Just seen that Mee's about to drop. I could sell him @4.7M. His fixtures are bad after BHA(A).

            Isn't it better to keep Naughton? And do:

            Daniels, Mee > Christensen, Masuaku

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

              Swansea fixtures are also pretty bad. I'm looking to get rid of both..

  12. John wick
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Guys help me
    A. Moreno to kennyy
    B. Ward to jones for a hit
    C. Any1 but leaning towards B
    The logic behind the hit for ward next two fixtures are spurs and utd

  13. YoungPretender
    • 11 Years

    Kiko out for who?

    A) Kabesele
    B) Kenny

  14. seanmcging
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    What to do with Ramsey? I plan to get Pogba & Sterling in GW19, ideally it would be for Ramsey & Coutinho, but not comfortable having him on the bench when it’s Niasse 1st sub!! Thoughts?

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

      Leave him. Bit punty and possibley a waste of a transfer getting a mid in for one week.

  15. KingOllie
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    A) Alonso + tarroll -> ogbonna + silva
    B) morata + tarroll -> dcl + kdb
    C) alonso + tarroll -> jones + shaqiri

    Basically wana lose 1 chelsea asset and upgrade my fodder

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

      A

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

      A

    3. V-2 Schneiderlin
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      B but with Silva over KDB (bank the money)?

  16. raoulduke71
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Long term who would you have?

    a) Coutinho & Richarlison
    b) D Silva & Pogba

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      B by far !!

    2. Kun Tozser
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      B maybe

    3. More Tragic
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      B

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

      B costs slightly more, but is slightly better.

    5. V-2 Schneiderlin
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      at the moment B

  17. Kun Tozser
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Decisions!

    1. Smalling DSilva
    2. Smalling Pogba
    3. Christensen Pogba
    4. Azpi Gross

    1, 2, 3 or 4!

    Any Richarlison news?

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

    2. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years

      1 for now, Pogba still suspended

      1. Kun Tozser
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        Ha I know, longer term thinking!

        1. We Will Klopp you
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 18 days ago

          Still 1 for me tbh, Silva looking a great option, smalling part of a solid United defence

    3. Lumberjack
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      1

  18. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 11 Years

      No

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 11 Years

        Thats a bummer thanks 🙂

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

    Shameless repost!

    How does this look for -8
    Rangel, RLC, Morata > Jones, Silva. DCL

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

  20. C-Dawgg
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Drunkenly rage transferred Sane -> Silva last night to get consistency over Xmas.

    Incoming Sane brace and Silva rotation.

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

      Silva will play and get a rest in the League Cup in mid week.

      1. C-Dawgg
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        I appreciate the support man.

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

    Daniel's worldie incoming then he is off my team.

  22. Monkey Hanger
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Teams seen to be getting more and more template. Lack of decent striker options not helping. Just hope this upcoming DGW shakes things up, or the game could become dull, and boring.

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Double gw is very hard to plan though , think I ll just have kane treble captain and maybe a west ham asset. Not even sure about tc

      1. Monkey Hanger
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        The blank the week before the DGW negates loading up with Hammers and Spurs. Can't see too many having more than four DGW'ers.

  23. Jet5605
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Hey guys, still have my WC which I will play within 3 GWs. I want Ota, Jones, Rooney, Silva, Mahrez who are all due to rise tonight, Should I play it tonight to avoid the price increases or wait?

    A - Play WC
    B - Mariappa > Kenny and hold WC

    DDG
    Christ - Kabasele - Mariappa
    Salah - Haz - GroB - Richarlison
    Kane - Morata - Vardy

    Elliott - Mee - Carroll - Mbemba

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

      If we knew Morata was out this weekend, then definitely yes. I probably would.

  24. Marv25
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Mustafa to Jones

    Or

    Zeegelar to masuaku

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

      2nd

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

      Zeegelaar to Masuaku. I think Mustafi will be back for Newcastle.

  25. Stevie B
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Would you wildcard this team or what would you do? Help is appreciate.

    Courtois, Elliot
    Kabasele, Tarkowski, Ward, Duffy, Fernández
    Hazard, Salah, Sterling, Richarlison, Loftus-Cheek
    Morata, Kane, Murray

    Value of the team is 102.9, 0.3 in the bank and 1 FT.

    Thank you!

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

      Yes, if Morata is out this weekend.

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

      Wait for the pressers to finish tomorrow. I can see 4 to 7 players that could be freshened up depending on injuries.

  26. Lumberjack
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    4 players on a flag, 1FT. Think I need to get rid of at least 1 of them to try and get 11 out. So which one (or 2) should go:

    A - Moreno (4.5m SV)
    B - Ward (4.9m SV)
    C - Richarlison (6.5m SV)
    D - Morata (10.7m SV)

    Cheers

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

      D if out for this weekend as he frees up the most funds.

      If Morata is ok, then A + B.

      1. Lumberjack
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        Yeah fair enough. Lots of rises tonight but I’ll have off until tomorrow. Thanks

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

    Sell who:

    (a) Mee @4.7M
    (b) Naughton @4.5M

    1. Twisted Saltergater

      B

    2. RamaJama

      B

    3. +
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      A if you have another Burnley defender

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

        Long, which is Mee backup 🙂

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

          *who

    4. Blanka
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      C) Both.

      I'm getting rid of Mee first as possible drop tonight.

  28. pakornk
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Ward > Masuaku or Maguire?

  29. Butcher
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Play Foster or Elliot this weekend? I know not the best position to be in!

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

      Foster. If Brom carry on where they left off last night and United play like they did last night theres a chance of a cleanie. Plus Elliott prob won't play anyway.

      1. Butcher
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        I do think Elliott will be back. Darlow not been too great and Rafa been getting alot of criticism for playing him

  30. ZeBestee
