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.

    Rank these players for this week only:
    (A) TAA (BOU)
    (B) Digne (wat)
    (C) AWB (WHU)

      ACB (though A probably won't play)

      1. JasonG123
        • 10 Years

        But shouldn't I be worried about a cameo from TAA?

          Fair point - he might be eased back with a few minutes. Tough call.

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

      Would be brilliant (C) or he gets 30mins before that off the bench

    2. Srv210
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      team structures will change if he comes back all guns blazing

    3. Stimps
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Son will be enough I think

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

    Chasing like mad. So tempted by a -4 to get Auba too. What you think of this -4 team?

    Fabianski
    Kolasinac • Doherty • AWB
    Mané • Rich • Salah(C) • Son • Martial
    Rashford • Aubameyang
    (Button / Bedranek / Digne / Kamara)

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

      I'm considering the same (means benching Rich too though) - not sure who you're removing but nice team

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

        Kun it would be mate

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

          that's too tough to call, I guess in theory taking Kun out for a hit isn't usually a great idea but who knows - GL whatever you decide

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

            Yeah, close call. What about Salah(TC)? Got all my chips left and seems a great time?

    2. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Hold off as long as possible, but looks good yes.
      Tough defence benching this week - one of the defenders benched will inevitably score well.

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

        Why as long as possible?

        1. Fpl Richie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          In case there is more news on Auba etc.

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

            Ah ok. Thanks mate and GL to you 🙂

  4. Richd

    Any saints fans here ?

    Tell me about Valery?

    Think he starts v Cardiff ?

  5. pressdpm
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Sterling/Aguero > Son/Aubemayang (-4)

    Good or bad move?

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      No way

    2. MTPockets
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I wouldn't, but who knows

      • Shark Team
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Not this gw i think wait for the blank

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

      Mendy in Hong Kong was speculation just saw a live Insta from Barcelona, where he was meant to be

    4. Disco Stu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Better move next week in preparation for GW31

      Sané >

      A. FAnderson(HUD)

      B. Fraser(NEW)

      1. MTPockets
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Anderson has better fixtures, although not yet confirmed game in 33 unlike Fraser

          1. Disco Stu
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Might just be using the Free Hit in 33

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

        Sane out for Mane a good move?

        Other issues are TAA and Auba. 1 FT

      3. DOGS
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Who's Triple Captaining Salah this weekend?

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

          See below. Very very tempted

      4. Zebras
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        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. Mo Mané Mo Problems
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Wasn't that the last minute goal that Auba assisted? Or was that another home banker for Arsenal?

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

            Sure he got the assist but that's not exactly the kinda return that would have me rushing to get him back in, especially for an away fixture

        2. avfc82
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          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.

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

            Right. Leaning more and more on the side of keeping Kun n just bringing in Kola

      5. Fpl Richie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Is TAA likely to be a play or no-show situation?

        1. Srv210
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          cant say for sure...klopp comments dont give a clear picture

        2. Richd
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          I think it’s unlikely he starts.

          Need Valerie info or I’ll be not saving my FT

        3. Shark Team
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Full training for him on thursday so yes i think he will start

      6. BananaMan
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Who to bench?

        Leno - Stekelenberg
        WB - Doherty - Robertson - Digne - Alonso
        Salah - Jota - Sane - Camarasa - Pogba
        Augero - Rashford - Kamara

        I'll make a start, you guys pick the other 2

        Stekelenberg - Kamara - ??? - ???

        1. pressdpm
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Digne, Alonso

          1. BananaMan
            • 13 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            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 think City v Chelsea will be a very dull game.

        2. RUUD!
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Camarasa obviously and then probably WB

          1. BananaMan
            • 13 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Wasn't expecting this!

            1. Pep Pig
              • 7 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              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

      7. Pieterke30
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        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

        1. HamezMace
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          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.

        2. MTPockets
            5 years, 1 month ago

            1. Pieterke30
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 7 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Good chance I would regret not playing BB if none of my bench players come in then...? Looking at Bednarek and Redmond.

              1. MTPockets
                  5 years, 1 month ago

                  Putting a lot of faith in wolves and palace (and Southampton) clean sheets, but if you fancy it and worried about the stars aligning again then sure why not

                  1. Pieterke30
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 7 Years
                    5 years, 1 month ago

                    I missed Redmond 11 pointer last GW (was on my bench), and now he faces Cardiff. Have to play him!!

                    Bench Sané and save FT???

                    1. MTPockets
                        5 years, 1 month ago

                        Really don't know. Has to be your decision but sounds like you're keen.
                        Can't be worse than my 3pts for Sane via chip...

            2. Numb
              • 9 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Tomkins being out is putting me off starting AWB now

              1. Pieterke30
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 7 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                That, + Arnautovic being fit

                1. Numb
                  • 9 Years
                  5 years, 1 month ago

                  Yep

                  1. Pieterke30
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 7 Years
                    5 years, 1 month ago

                    But then again, wouldnt be the first time WHU would disappoint and be terrible all over the pitch

              2. Mo Mané Mo Problems
                • 9 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                Feels like an Arnie brace is due.

              3. MTPockets
                  5 years, 1 month ago

                  That's settled my Ederson vs Guaita quandry

                • Fpl Richie
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 8 Years
                  5 years, 1 month ago

                  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.

                • ZimZalabim
                  • 7 Years
                  5 years, 1 month ago

                  same here

                  swapped him to first sub and got bednarek starting now

                • Pep Pig
                  • 7 Years
                  5 years, 1 month ago

                  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

              4. pressdpm
                • 11 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                Can I hold an FT?

                Fabianski
                Bennett - Robertson - Kolasinac
                Salah - Sterling - Richarlison - Pogba
                Rashford - Jiminez - Aguero

                Speroni - Wan Bissaka - Digne - Biling

              5. RAFA THE GAFFA

                TC Salah is SO TEMPTING!

                1. pressdpm
                  • 11 Years
                  5 years, 1 month ago

                  Can't see it. Personally expect Liverpool to drop off massively from here on.

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

                    I don’t. I see them exploding at Anfield tomorrow

                2. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
                  • 10 Years
                  5 years, 1 month ago

                  Surely Sane TC....

                3. Miguel Sanchez
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 7 Years
                  5 years, 1 month ago

                  Do it!

                4. DOGS
                  • 6 Years
                  5 years, 1 month ago

                  YES.
                  Two blanks in a row, Anfield will be pumped, hatrick incoming

              6. S.Kuqi
                • 11 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

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

                Sterling -> Son
                Siggy -> 4.8 bench fodder
                Success -> Auba
                -4 hit

                1. Shark Team
                  • 6 Years
                  5 years, 1 month ago

                  Absolutely brilliant i did the same

                  A - Salah, and if you still have your chip, Triple Captain him

                Can only make one change (don't want to take a hit)

                A: Haz-->Son
                B. Aguero --> Auba

                Own Eriksen, Llorente, and Sane. Leaning A but not keen on Spurs triple attack.

                I have to play one of these, really can't decide?

                Bednarek, Shaw or Llorente. Currently on Llorente

                  Thoughts on these options lads?

                  (A) Sane, Dilva, Kamara -> FAnderson, Hayden, Auba (-8)
                  (B) Sane, Kamara -< Hayden, Auba (-4)
                  (C) Dilva -> FAnderson

                  Robbo - Digne - Shaw
                  Son - Salah - Sane* - Pogba - Dilva*
                  Rash - Jimenez
                  ------
                  Button - Bednarek - AWB - Kamara*

                  Nice stat - Aguero has not blanked in any of the 9 PL home games he's started this season and has goals in 7 of them, with an assist and two assists in the others.

                    5 years, 1 month ago

                    and he has 5 goals in his last 5 vs chelsea

                    Yep, many removing Aguero for Aubameyang - some even for a -4! I actually think Aguero will score more this week.

                  Struggling with the captains choice
                  Made a big mistake with Sane last week, so

                  A. Salah
                  B. Rashford
