FFS Charity Football Tournament

In just under a fortnight, on Saturday 24th February, around 30 Fantasy Football Scout community members will be putting away their keyboards and dusting off their replica kits as they get ready to play a round-robin, seven-a-side charity football tournament.

The event takes place at Hendon Football Centre, Barnet, NW9 5PE, between 12-3pm and has been organised by myself and TopMarx.

The day is being staged in memory of Simon Humber, who lost his battle with ocular melanoma in 2015. Simon was the creative director of EA’s FIFA team, a Portsmouth FC fan and a popular member of the Fantasy Football Scout community as ‘Absinthe’. 

All the money raised will go to The Melanoma Research Foundation – a charity identified and verified in our recent contact with Simon’s family.

More information about Simon, together with an opportunity to donate, is available at this Just Giving page.

Please note that donations are expressed in dollars, rather than pounds, so a donation of $10 will be around £7.20 (based on the exchange rate on the morning of 12th February 2018).

The current squad lists (which may vary on the day) are below, but even if you are not playing or spectating please spare a few moments and a few quid by clicking on the Just Giving link and making a donation.

In addition to donations, a strict punitive system will be operated on the day with fines in place for diving, being nutmegged, late tackles and anything else the FFScout community can suggest. We are hoping to get some footage of the matches but can’t promise Sky Sports standard broadcasting.

        I text my guy this morning. Said he was out (and the rascal had taken him out of his own team)... but there was talk of him being given a late chance... didn’t want to jeopardise my 100% record, so bottled it.

        Plus, it was past deadline.

    I dont care that i have Ogbonna first on bench.

    Just wanted Alonso to play so had someone to cheer on in the game. Even Two points would have been ok as just wanted an interest in game. Will not bother watching now as will just be having negative thoughts of not wanting Hazard to score

    Hey, is McCarthy expected to continue to start on goal for Southampton, or to be dropped - for example, because Southampton has kept on conceding with him on goal. And you know, after his debut against ManU, he's conceded 50% of the non-penalty shots he's faced in PL (plus one penalty that he conceded). That isn't even improvement on Forster! ManU match included his save percentage is 57%, less abysmal, still not good. It's the Hart & Mignolet territory.

      Hard luck Alonso owners. I feel your pain as a Christensen owner.

      Had a strong feeling Alonso was the scapegoat for that Bournemouth loss

      May have played his last game for Chelsea as Conte isn't so forgiving

          Full 90 minutes. Bit strange you didn't notice him, since he was the match's most active shooter with 4 shots.

        As slippery and turncout as you are Bemba, Conte is even more of a slime ball and has done stuff like this in the past, almost living up to his hilarious mafia-esque persona, so I will begrudgingly agree.

        Well, dropping him against Watford really solved all their problems.

          Yep, with Mee first on the bench. Good fixtures all around and my defenders ended up with 5 points between them.
