We have reached the final weekend of the Fantasy Football Scout cup competitions.

After the semi-finals took place in the divisive Double Gameweek 25, we are down to just two contests in the public and Members tournaments.

Public FFS Cup

Very fine margins could determine the next winner of the public FFS Cup.

Going into Gameweek 26 there are six players present in the squads of both finalists Get It Inter Ya (981) and Man-Chest-Heir F.C (124,414).

They are Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£4.5m), Leroy Sané (£9.7m), Paul Pogba (£8.7m), Mohamed Salah (£13.6m), Raúl Jiménez (£6.7m) and Marcus Rashford (£7.8m).

But interestingly, there is further overlap in their defensive coverages.

The tie’s favourite Get It Inter Ya has Matt Doherty (£5.3m) and Virgil van Dijk (£6.5m) while his opponent is in possession of Andrew Robertson (£6.8m) and Ryan Bennett (£4.1m).

Both managers may have to make a call on Sané after his disappointing Double Gameweek 25 performance, while Get It Inter Ya may also want to factor in his Chelsea double-up into his transfers.

Neither one of David Luiz (£5.9m) or Eden Hazard (£10.9m) will play in Blank Gameweek 27 after their difficult trip to Manchester City this weekend.

No transfers have been made by either finalist at this stage.

FFS Members Cup

There are plenty of interesting battles all over the pitch to be fought between FFS Members Cup finalists Jay # (59,782) and Jambo17 (99).

The pair took slightly different approaches to Double Gameweek 25, with the former covering it with a double-up of Sané and Raheem Sterling (£11.3m).

However, his opponent Jambo17 did not have the disappointment of owning the German international, Triple Captaining Sterling as well as owning Aymeric Laporte (£5.9m) and Sergio Aguero (£11.4m).

Jay # will likely look to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.2m) as his answer to facing Aguero, although his opponent does have the possession of Pogba over him, who faces a plum away tie at Fulham.

          Had been planning on doing the Kun>Auba move all week, but his "illness" has got me reconsidering as it would also be for a hit (doing Digne > Kola as well).

          What I haven't seen mentioned on here yet is the fact that Arsenal only managed 1 goal in the reverse fixture with no involvement from Auba. So this may not be the easy haul we are all expecting. And of course his illness makes him vulnerable to rotation.

          tl;dr is the hokey cokey a trap for Auba?

            1 goal in his last 6 on the road. Arsenal's away form in the PL hardly inspires confidence too, they haven't won since November.

              I have this at the minute but I have vague recollections of Alonso doing well against City in the past?
              Could be my imagination!

                I'd want Digne to play over Camarasa. I still don't think he is starting though should make an appearance, Warnock mentioned they need to be careful with him. Digne definitely has a point to prove

          Having no WC left, it will be tough for me to have 15 DGWers later on. Hence my plan to play BB this weekend, with Patricio (NEW), AWB (WHU), Bednarek and Redmond (CAR).

          But there is a catch. I expected/hoped TAA, who was in my starting XI, would have trained more than once this week. And now there is a risk he wont play, or just for 15-20 mins and bring me 1 point.

          What to do??
          A. Keep TAA and play BB
          B. Keep TAA, but dont play BB (see full team below)
          C. Replace TAA with Kolasinac/Pereira and play BB as planned.

          My team...
          Guaita
          Doherty TAA* Robbo
          Salah Pogba Son Sané**
          Batshuayi Aubameyang Rashford
          (Patricio, AWB, Bednarek, Redmond)

          **My planned FT was Sané to Jota. Now Im thinking Sané and TAA out for Kolasinac/Pereira and Mané/Jota for a hit, and play BB.

          Thanks for sharing your views guys

            I think TAA plays, and I'd say go with BB.
            If you don't have a strategy to use it over the doubles, then now looks as good a time as any.

                    Yes indeed, Tomkins is a big influence there.
                    Owning TAA AWB and Digne is a tricky one this week. All have issues, the latter just being in a team bereft of form. Will bench two.

                    I agree. I'm currently set up with a 4-3-3 with Deulofeu, AWB and Camarasa benched in that order.
                    I think we might be fooled into thinking there will be a high CS percentage this week. I really don't think there will be and will probably roll out a 3-4-3

                  Think I'll keep Sane and sell Sterling instead. How does this move look?

                  Sterling -> Son
                  Siggy -> 4.8 bench fodder
                  Success -> Auba
