FFS Cup

FFS Cup competitions reach final weekend

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.

    Sane > Son on a free makes sense. Doesn't it?

    1. SuperHam
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      That's what I've done this week

  2. SuperHam
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Which one for this week only?

    1. Hazard
    2. Auba (-4)

    1. ZimZalabim
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      no

    Change of sport; Any Cheltenham racegoers worried that it maybe cancelled this, I’ve been going religiously since best mate won his 3rd Gold Cup in 2004... I’ll miss the Guinness village

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      should be okay I'd guess, they've acted pretty quickly

    2. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Not sure - I imagine there will be massive commercial pressure for it to go ahead though.

      1. Warby84
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I’m backing the Irish if it goes ahead...

    3. Millie7
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      good chance it will be cancelled if they've found it has spread

      1. Warby84
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I think in Australia it took 6/7 months to get back to normal.. If Cheltenham is cancelled then the Grand national will be next

    4. XABI 15
      • 8 Years

      I have a ticket on the Wed, hoping it goes ahead!

  4. SADIO SANÉ

    wish there was an option (that you could choose to tick if you wanted it) which means that any player that plays less than 30 mins gets autosubbed - would make the game less luck-based/annoying imo, also makes some players better options

    1. ZimZalabim
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      no

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        no I don't wish that? okay

    2. JohnnyMagrinho
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Arguably that’s where understanding of the team and their situation comes into play and so luck is less of a factor.

        High-risk high-reward strategies are nice and it’s an entirely different way to play the game than a safer approach.

        1. SADIO SANÉ
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          maybe, but it also makes bench players more important and lessens the risk of unknown injuries/knocks affecting your team too much for the week - widens the list of potential options too, I'd much prefer it personally

      Ryan
      TAA - VVD - Doherty
      Pogba - Salah(c) - Son - Almiron
      Aguero - Rashford - Llorente

      Speroni - Camarasa - AWB - Digne

      4,2 ITB ... worth a hit for Llorente -> Lacazette ????
      Cheers

      Whats this about Mendy? Pep doesn't even know where he is?

      1. Warby84
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        As far as he knew, he was in Barca, Mendy put up a joke on insta about being in Hong Kong and then deleted straight after...

        1. Bubz

          😆 wtf

    5. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      Play Rich or Anderson?

      1. SuperHam
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Anderson

    6. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Fab, 4.0
      Robertson, Luiz, Digne, AWB, Jonny
      Salah, Pogba, Sané, Rich, 4.5
      Aguero, Jiminez, Rashford

      1FT

      Thoughts on which option is best this week?
      A) Sané -> Son
      B) Aguero -> Aubameyang
      C) Both transfers for a -4

      Thanks!

      1. SuperHam
        • 7 Years

        A

    7. StayoutheSpiceZone
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      Llorente or Rondon this GW.

      Neither is not an option 🙂

      Cheers

      1. TheDragon
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Llorente

        1. StayoutheSpiceZone
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Ok thanks mate. I was thinking the same - Rondon in for gw27 tbh

      2. JohnnyMagrinho
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Llorente this week but Rondon going forward.

          If it’s a case of bringing Llorente in Id keep Rondon but other way round is hold Llorente then swap for Rondon next week.

          1. StayoutheSpiceZone
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Thanks mate. No have both, just want to know who to play

      3. Tsssst
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Kola
        Doherty
        Bednarek
        Laporte
        TAA

        bench one...

        1. TheDragon
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          TAA won’t play anyway will he? I’d bench Laporte

          1. JohnnyMagrinho
              5 years, 1 month ago

              That’s a wild assumption to make in such a blase manner on here.

              He’s trained and Klopp said he might be available. It’s 50/50 at best I’d say but can’t be saying he definitely won’t play.

              1. JohnnyMagrinho
                  5 years, 1 month ago

                  *-definitely

                  Lol - where did I say he ‘definitely’ won’t play?

                  Hint: question marks are for questions

            EO’s this week

            Salah 200%
            Pogba 100%
            Rashford 100%
            Liv defender 100%
            Jimenez 80%
            Doherty 80%

            So much fun! 😮

            1. Bubz
              • 10 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              😆 so true. I'm so bored of this season. My rank has barely changed at all in the last 15 weeks

              1. Bubz
                • 10 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                You can add Son about 80% too

              2. TheDragon
                • 5 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                It is frustrating - I’ve got a decent rank but just no progress either way for at least 10 weekd

                1. Bubz
                  • 10 Years
                  5 years, 1 month ago

                  Same, been hovering around 15k forever

                  1. TheDragon
                    • 5 Years
                    5 years, 1 month ago

                    Last 10 weeks I’ve pretty much scored the top 10k average +/-2 and very gradually fallen from 500ish to nearer 2k

              3. Millie7
                • 10 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                Change it up and take some risks then

                1. Bubz
                  • 10 Years
                  5 years, 1 month ago

                  I kind of do though to be fair. I went without Salah. I tripled on Man City mids last gameweek for the double. I've tried various things that don;t work

            2. RAFA THE GAFFA
              • 7 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              How would this effect a TC this week? I’m over 300k and chasing

              1. TheDragon
                • 5 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                If you are thinking of triple captaining Salah then that ownership would make it less explosive

                Alternatively Aubameyang triple captain could be a huge differential although personally I wouldn’t be considering triple captain this week

              2. fr3d
                • 6 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                If Salah scores 10 points, the average team will get ~20 points and you will get ~30 points

                • 6 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                Exactly what I’m thinking Rafa!

                I’m 227k and wanting some greens to get me back up top!

              well everyone is complaining about the template but no one is taking any risks 😀

              1. TheDragon
                • 5 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                They are template players for a reason. Other than Son there haven’t been many ‘good risks’ to take last 10 weeks (in my opinion)

                I’m all for risks which have a clear upside but risks such as no Liverpool (to date) is just lots of downside risk

              2. fr3d
                • 6 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                These are rock solid players atm so can’t really go without 🙁

              3. Bubz
                • 10 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                The template keep outperforming any risks though

                1. altan8797
                  • 7 Years
                  5 years, 1 month ago

                  thats true, haven't seen a more consistent template in 5 years.

            I have a triple captain hit to use.
            When is the best time to use it?
            During a double GW or just a game of confidence?

            1. altan8797

              Sane was the man, they said...

          5. RAFA THE GAFFA
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            If you have all your chips left, is now a good time to hit the TC? Thinking FH in 32 for the double and BB35 after a 34 WC.

            Any other good time for the TC? Another Salah single game or a chance of a Chelsea double? Cheers 🙂

                depends on your FH strategy yeah, I'm probably FHing in 31 and using TC in 32 but we'll see - if not the Hudd game should be another good option for Salah

              Sterling and Sane for Son & Mane for a hit??

              City blanking, rotation risks and schedule being considered

              1. Bubz
                • 10 Years

              • 5 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              why is 50%+ so keen on salah as captain? 2 blanks in a row and last goals coming from lucky rebounds and penalties - not like he is dribbling anyone and scoring lately.

              1. Bubz
                • 10 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                Fear

              2. C'mon the Fylde
                • 8 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                Your opponents are likely to captain Salah.
                If you take a punt and Salah performs, it'll be costly.
                Bournemouth don't look great.
                I'm, personally, tempted to captain Son or Rashford, as a punt.

              3. MinuteFong
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 9 Years

                For: rarely goes more than two games without blanking; his haul against Bournemouth away; rivals not clear-cut (Pogba/Rashford minutes with PSG; Aguero has Chelsea; possible Auba illness...); lucky goals are still goals.

                Against: form as you say; Bournemouth may park the bus; Pogba/Rashford/Aguero all on good form even with reduced minutes.

                So in conclusion: not sure.

              GTG??
              Any changes between starting XI and bench?

              Fabianski
              Doherty/Shaw/WB
              Salah(c)/Mane/Son/Pogba
              Auba/Rashford/Jimenez

              Hart/Bednarek/Digne/Puncheon

              jeez, if Pep had said Mendy 'remains unavailable' before the DGW I almost definitely would have TC'd Sane and got Danilo 😀

              Good to go?

              Fabianski
              Trippier - Bennett - Bednarek
              Salah - Sterling - Son - Richarlison
              Firmino - Rashford - Mitrovic

              Hamer - AWB - TAA - Schneiderlin

              2.4m in the bank. No hits.

              Plan is Firmino + Richarlison ➡ Anderson + Aubameyang next gw. Thoughts please? 🙂

              Rondon (wol), F.Anderson (cry) or Richarlison (wat), who takes the most points?

                5 years, 1 month ago

                Mr. Anderson

                  5 years, 1 month ago

                  No chance against AWB. Richarlison, Rondon, Anderson would be my order.

            11. The Head-Ake

              Patricio
              Luiz - Robbo - Shaw
              Son - Salah(c) - Pogba - Sane
              Auba - Jiminez - Rash

              Bench: Button - Bednarek - AWB - Puncheon. 1 FT and 0.2 ITB. Should I save for this week? If so, what moves should I do later on?

              Hazard & Ings ➡ Jota & Auba (-4)
              Yay or better wait a week?

                Transferring in two questionable starters seems mental

              Auba likely to start? Was he in training today?

              Watford beating Everton to go 4 points clear of them with a game in hand is not an unrealistic possibility this weekend
