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.

    https://fantasy.premierleague.com/a/team/1554450/event/17

    Any suggestions? 2FT (willing to make 3/4) and team very much in decline. Wanted Kane out until DGW but now unsure if I have too many issues elsewhere. Sanchez is the real luxury pick i want in but just lost at this point. Help

    1. Flynny
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Similar to me....

      If kiko and richarlison out I'll replace both - even for a hit..

      Just to get out 11

      1. Dohers
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 17 days ago

        Similar dilemma too, then. Not sure whether aiming for 11 or an attack and (c) I'm happy with will earn more points short/long term. Feel like I've gotten quite lucky to this point and that started running out a few weeks ago

      2. Dohers
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 17 days ago

        How do you think Moreno, Rich, Kane > Jones, Sanchez, Murray looks..? (-4) but gives me an out for Niasse when I get Kane back in, gets me an 11 out and Sanchez, who I feel will smash it until I want Kane back. Decisions...

  2. arndff_

    Any WC suggestions here? Think to use it LATER this month.

    DDG Elliot
    Otamendi Christensen Mee Ogbonna Long
    Hazard Salah Coutinho Richarlison RLC
    Kane Morata Niasse

    1. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Obviously some minor issues, but it's a good squad. Leave it til you feel you need it..injuries racking up or changes in form of the big hitters

      1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 17 days ago

        I agree with Legomane

    2. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Elliot to someone cheaper, Niasse upgrade (depends how much in bank). Could lose Rich depending on injury news, although that might happen before WC. A city mid would be nice.

  3. Legomané
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 17 days ago

    Strongly considering
    Davies+Ward/Daniels >
    Jones+Smalling (-4)?

    Good moves? Any other suggestions? Cheers (1FT, 0.3ITB)

    Pope
    Davies Christensen Ward
    Hazard Salah Coutinho RLC
    Kane Aguero DCL

    I have just enough to do Daniels to Jones before tonight's price rise.
    But I need one of Morata or Richarlison to play.

    Should I pull the trigger?

    1. Assisting the assister
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Thinking of Ward>Jones tonight so Daniels> is a good shout

    2. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      I did it. Will be taking a hit tomorrow if necessary

    3. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      I'm keeping Daniels for now, good fixtures on the horizon, and at least he should play if I'm struggling for numbers

    4. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Nope.

    5. ooooo
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Yes

  5. Redranger
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 17 days ago

    Gross to Silva or Mahrez?

    1. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Silva if you have a good rank. Mahrez if you're chasing.

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 17 days ago

        Dont really understand that kind of reasoning. Surely you should pick the one who is getting most points?

        1. We Will Klopp you
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 17 days ago

          This

        2. Ajax Hamsterdam
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 17 days ago

          yep

    2. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Silva, has potential to be a season keeper. Mahrez certainly doesn't at his current price point.

  6. JoeSoap
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 17 days ago

    A. Ward>Williams
    B. Kiko>Kenny/Holgate/Ogbanna
    C. Gomez>Kenny/Holgate/Ogbanna
    D. B or C & Ward>Jones (-4)

    Assuming bench are all crocked.

    Elliot
    Maguire, Duffy, Gomez
    Hazard, Salah, Gross, RLC
    Kane, Vardy, Lukaku
    Fab, Richarl, Ward, Kiko 

  7. ooooo
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 17 days ago

    DDG
    Otamendi Ward *****
    Hazard Salah Sterling *****
    Kane Morata

    A) Gomez + Rich
    B) Christ + D.Gray.

  8. Little Frank
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 17 days ago

    Morata -> Vardy for a free?

    Will give me enough ITB to do RLC -> Silva next week.

  9. wbm
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 17 days ago

    Take a guess which team has the highest xG conceeded the last 4 GWs

    1. Viper
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Man U I'd guess with all the saves De Gea has been making

      1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 17 days ago

        But he's a monster so no problem, triple Utd def here we come!

        1. wbm
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 17 days ago

          Quite a bit easier fixtures coming up as well

    2. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      United!!!

    3. wbm
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Correct!
      I bet that doesn't happen very often, but really loads of chances conceeded lately 😀

    4. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Praying for a Rondon masterclass at the weekend. All the hits taken for De Gea and Jones destroyed.

  10. Frank Koscielny
    • 9 Years

    Pope/Elliot
    Ota/Christensen/Daniels/Mee/Long
    Haz/Salah/Richarli/Sterling/RLC
    Kane/Firmino/DCL
    1 FT 2.1 ITB

    Would you wildcard this lot now or wait? If yes - any tips to what I should do? Both mee and Daniels set to drop tonight. Really unsure what to do!

    "Two former winners bow out at the second round stage after Wild Rover lost 56-39 to AnytimeScorer ..."

  12. FPL Maldini

    Who should I sacrifice for Ogbonna?

    A) Daniels (0.6 ITB)

    B) Azpi (2.3 ITB)

    C) Kola ( 1.7 ITB)

    • 9 Years
    8 years, 17 days ago

    I wanted to save my transfer but should I pull the trigger:

    A) Moreno,Ward > Jones,Moreno -4
    B) Save ft with doubts to Moreno,Ward, Morata, Richarlison
    C) just use 1ft on injured player

    1. GE

      C

  15. Assisting the assister
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 17 days ago

    Worth doing Ward>Jones? Guess Ward may not play - but a fit Jones is a must anyway surely. Have Azpi, Ota, Kenny and Hunemeier. Was planning on Hune > Ogbonna but getting Man U defender seems a must

    1. GE
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Yup

    2. @FPL_liverbird (liverpoolfa…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      I'm thinking about Ward and Moreno > Jones, Ogbonna
      just realized I can afford it and I'm so so tempted to pull the trigger even for a hit. Long term its a quality move and think will repay

  16. F4L

    Any other FUT investors on here?

    1. JONALDINHO
      • 8 Years

      For Futmas?

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 17 days ago

        yeah. Do you think it will be like last year with player SBCs or will they release special FUTMAS player cards into packs do you think?

        1. JONALDINHO
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 17 days ago

          Think they will just stick with SBCs but might spice it up a bit. Hopefully they do anyway.

          1. F4L
            • 11 Years

        True enough 😉

  22. mental fortitude
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 17 days ago

    Does anyone other than me see the huge potential in Fabregas. Best passer with chances for assists and also potential goalscorer in all games I have seen. I feel he is hugely underated and not written about. He is under th radar and despite his unfortunate (to me) returns, stays in my team and is a vald way into Chelsea moving forward. I have Alonso, Fabregas and Morata.
    Your thoughts please.

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      not for me

    2. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      I agree he;s a good passer, but he's got less points than both Kante and Bakayoko!

      Fair play for not being a sheep, but I'm not convinced.

    3. TheBrat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Agree, will haul soon

      1. mental fortitude
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 17 days ago

        Thanks for all your thoughts. I will hold him. His record is too good historically and he is playing in similar ways. Bakayoko and Kante are both good, but do not continuously drive this team forward and provide probabilities all the time. I am just surprised that he is not written about more often. Anyway, we shall see. Maybe, I will hav made the wrong call, but still feel there are several double figure gameweeks ahead. Fingers crossed and brain relaxed!!!!

      Why would Moyes change a system that's gotten him the most success since he's been at the club?

      1. More Tragic

      2. Oven Glover
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 17 days ago

        I’ve watched the last three games and I’ll admit that they’ve looked very good defensively but that’s been the MO against those top teams. They need to score goals against the lesser sides and they’ll need to change their tactics to do so imo.

        1. badgerboy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 17 days ago

          This. Will be looser in defence.

        2. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 17 days ago

          Would M play instead of Cresswell? Think Bilic did that a couple of times

          1. Oven Glover
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 17 days ago

            Bilic played Antonio at rb. He did a lot of weird things. Pretty sure Cresswell is the main man at lb.

            1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
              • 8 Years
              8 years, 17 days ago

              Indeed. I would agree, just hoping not to have to make an easily avoidable transfer! 🙂

        3. We Will Klopp you
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 17 days ago

          I think Moyes will give this current system at least a couple of games to see if it produces goals as well as defensive solidarity, could also put the lack of outfield goals in the new system down to the defensive quality of the opposition they played.

          1. Oven Glover
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 17 days ago

            I guess but I think we haven’t seen the woods for all the trees in this case. Opponents and lack of striker being the trees.

    Where should i upgrade?

    1. +
      • 10 Years

      Richarlison > Silva/Sterling. Obviously makes it harder to get Morata back in, though

  25. Sz21
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 17 days ago

    Morata back in for Firmino (if he is confirmed fit) or wait another GW?

    Played my WC last GW with this move in mind but not 100% set in stone.

    (2.3m in the bank).

    Own Hazard and prob will capt too.
