FFS Cup

The latest FFS Cup fixtures and results

We are down to just two former winners in the latest Fantasy Football Scout Cup.

Wild Rover was eliminated in the second round of the competition, which took place in Gameweek 30.

Lal Toofan held the ex-champion to a 57-57 draw after both managers scored 61 points off a -4 hit.

The tie was decided on Overall Rank which sent Lal Toofan through to the next round, who was placed 2,641st.

2EyedTurk‘s score of 87 ensured he swept aside Bornello, who could only manage 45 points.

Meanwhile, donnellyc beat PEP_TALK by a 64-44 scoreline.

Aside from the former winners, there were some impressive giant-killings.

Being ranked 476,424 in the world did not stop AMEY breezing past XI, who finished Gameweek 30 at 259 overall. That tie was settled by a score of 78-55.

Elsewhere, Disco Stu, ranked 245,810, beat 191st-placed Team Canada 62-55.

But the biggest shock result saw 24th-placed Forza eliminated by JCA, ranked 139,144) who won 69-55.

The draw for the third round can be found below.

    Anyone know if Charlie Daniels is nailed?

    1. Ziyech on the Bench
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 17 days ago

      Rico has not played for a while and adam smith injured

  2. The Polymath
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    Have 11 players for a -4 hit. Should I do another hit to swap Fraser for Hayden even though hie's playing and I also have Wilson?

    1. Buck The Trent
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 17 days ago

      If you think Fraser (NEW BUR) can outscore Hayden (bou CRY) by 4 pts, then go for it

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 17 days ago

      If you have playing 11 for -4 don’t take hit - you will be ahead of many

    3. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 17 days ago

      Na, reckon I would go in as is, you'll kick yourself if Hayden outscores him or he doesn't cover the hit (as unlikely as that may be).

  3. Samwise
    • 5 Years

    Transfered Salah to mane to facilitate kamar and rashford to wilson and vardy.

    Good move?
    Or too risky?

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 17 days ago

      You will know Sunday night but high risk albeit with big upside

    2. jia you
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 17 days ago

      People still own Salah? 😉

  4. Tsparkes10
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 17 days ago

    For 31 and 33 defo doing:
    Son, Pogba, Rash to Haz, Fraser, Wilson unless major injuries (-8).

    That gives me 10 playing.

    Fab
    VVD TAA Digne
    Haz Salah Fraser Felipe A
    Vardy Wilson

    Do I:
    A) Moutinho to non pool mid (-4)
    B) Jimenez to King/Hig (-4)
    C) VVD/TAA out for Bourne defender so can bring Mane in for Moutinho (-8)

    1. wolvesmad
      • 7 Years

      B

  5. Kiwivillan

    Trying to find reasons to take hit for Hazard for 31/33 besides rank protection. Last 2 vs Everton home and away 0-0

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 17 days ago

      Depends who other mids are and how many you goy playing atm

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 17 days ago

        Back out of hiding. What about Mane at the weekend.

        1. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 17 days ago

          Who's been hiding? Glad I had a Mane but no C

          1. DA Minnion (Former great)
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 17 days ago

            T sparks .

            1. Kiwivillan
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              5 years, 17 days ago

              I thought he posts 24/7 😆

    2. tucaoneo
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 17 days ago

      I watched the previous encounter. Hazard created a lot of chances but they were wasted. Alonso hit the woodwork. Past seasons are not that relevant given they had different managers.

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

      Looking at your team you have 7 players if Lascelles fit. So you either need 3 transfers (like getting Vardy Hazard Wilson in) to get 10 players or FH

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 17 days ago

        Wilson is certain. Those 3 have been my intended transfers in

      2. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 17 days ago

        I'll take -12 for 31/33 if I think will pay off. I consider 0pt move to get 2 appearances vs none

    4. Spark Dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 17 days ago

      I hear ya Kiwivillan, I'm doing it in the hope he does smash it v Everton but more for that tasty game in 33 at home to West Ham.

    5. bigbudgie
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 17 days ago

      Can you not engineer to just bring him in for 33? Getting another FT once GW 32 starts right?

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 17 days ago

        Yeah I could. Just fear but I suppose I start off -4 behind anyone that Haz for free

  6. jia you
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 17 days ago

    I made a bit of a blunder this week, the more that I thought about it the more that I decided the best move was to sell Son. Now I've ended up selling him for Fraser. If I'd done it earlier would have saved 0.2 but also could have upgraded Colin Quaner to Wilson.
    Instead I'm stuck with the highly differential DCL 🙂

    1. tucaoneo
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 17 days ago

      I missed out on the Salah Christmas because of 0.1. Not fun at all.

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 17 days ago

        sometimes these 0.1s can make a huge difference!

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 17 days ago

      Quanerr to Rondon or Barnes would have been ok ?

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 17 days ago

        Have Rondon but couldnt stretch to Barnes as a straight swap, DCL was the best of a bad bunch at the time.

  7. Tabbara
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 17 days ago

    Which trio is better:
    A: Brooks, Vardy and Van djik/Robertson
    B: Wilson, Rice and Mané

    Players that will be transferred are: Aguero, Puncheon and Bennett

    Thanks

    1. jia you
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 17 days ago

      That seems a close one! A. with Robertson probably.

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 17 days ago

      A with Robbo but I would want Wilson too!

  8. Viper
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 17 days ago

    Really not sure whether to do Jimenez - > Wilson or not.

    If I decide to go for Jimenez in gwk 32 on free hit I'd have to pay 0.6m more for him.

    I reckon I'd end up just avoiding him out of stubbornness 😆

    1. tucaoneo
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 17 days ago

      I am on the fence too. Although, if you ditch Salah in 32 you can save tons of money there.

      1. Viper
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 17 days ago

        That's true. Its a difficult one though. I could be giving up 0.6m for 4 extra points. That extra 0.6m could harvest a lot more than 4 points in dgwk32

        1. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 17 days ago

          If you think Wilson or Vardy will only give you 4 points over 2 games it’s not worth it

    2. jia you
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 17 days ago

      I sold him back in GW23 on wildcard....that one hurt despite being happy with how my team has done overall. Wolves season could possibly peter out (on the beach as they say) from here on though so now might be the time to sell him.

      1. Viper
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 17 days ago

        What do you reckon with Doherty?

        1. jia you
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 17 days ago

          A def sell for me, Jimenez is tougher!

  9. BlzE_94
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 17 days ago

    Would you downgrade Higuain to Barnes to upgrade elsewhere? (On FH chip)

    Boruc
    Azpilicueta TAA Digne
    Salah Hazard Mane Fraser
    Higuain Vardy Wilson

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 17 days ago

      I prefer Barnes vs Leicester defence but who you upgrading? Rest look fine. Rice vs Hudd over Digne vs Chelsea

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 17 days ago

      I've Barnes. Don't really rate Hig and Chelsea not setting the world alight.

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 17 days ago

        +1 on Hig and Chelsea

  10. jia you
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 17 days ago

    XI if Lascelles plays, X and maybe an extra point if he doesnt haha
    GTG?

    Alisson
    Robertson / Luis / Rice / *Lascelles
    Hazard / Mane / Fraser(c)
    Vardy / Rondon / DCL
    (Speroni, Sterling, Pogba, AWB)
    -4
    2.4 ITB

    1. Jammyfpl
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 17 days ago

      Team looks good very brave call on the Fraser shout! As a Newcastle fan I hope you’re wrong but we could have quite a weak defence without schar and possibly lascelles

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 17 days ago

        Cheers, yeah, if Lascelles is ruled out I might punt on him as my 16th captain of the season 🙂

  11. Viper
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 17 days ago

    I'm thinking about selling Doherty & Jimenez.

    I'd be bringing in Wilson & Azpilicueta (-4)

    Id lose 1.2m in value so far I'd pretty much be done with both players.

    Go for it?

    1. jia you
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 17 days ago

      Think I likely would and screw the value! Points over pounds and all that jazz!

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 17 days ago

        how many players do you have if you hold onto them btw?

        1. Viper
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 17 days ago

          I have 8 but I could sell Bednarek to get to 9, keeping Doherty, Jimenez, Pogba, Aguero & WB

          1. jia you
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 17 days ago

            I wildcarded in 23 so I dont really have that kind of value tied up in any players apart from Pogba and AWB. I had originally planned to field 9 for 31 but decided to go for XI. Big reason being that 33 is a BGW also and getting in players that will play both for players that blank in both looks a good play. I'm doing this with no WC so I'm well aware its going to cost me hits down the road. Make the points first and spend some on hits later doesnt seem a terrible move though, I'm hopeful 🙂

    This will be the game that Salah explodes . Expecting a hattrick at the very least !

    1. hueycho

      u wish, another close but miserable night for him I hope!

    2. Jammyfpl
      • 5 Years

      That’s the spirit smix, we deserve one for sticking with him

    Current wk31 team 10 active players. Strategy FH 32 WC 34

    Wk31 FT made - jimi - wilson

    Maddison rising tonight? have exact money for him but would prefer to wait until Liverpool play Munich

  15. juho

    Is AWB -> BOU defender for a hit crazy?

    (I already own David Luiz)

    1. jia you
      • 7 Years

      Stats people are bigging up BOU defence but I'm not buying it!

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years

        What BOU home record since Boruc replaced Begovic?

        1. juho
          • 6 Years

          Ah you may have a point

      2. juho
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 17 days ago

        Not sure if their defence can be trusted

    Hope Middlesbrough don't get promoted. Their boring defensive football is terrible for FPL. My favourite thing is captaining/picking players that play against awful defences. Can't wait for Norwich to go up for that!

    1. Jammyfpl
      • 5 Years

      Excrutiating pain watching your captain blank against wall of defense

    Alisson
    Robbo TAA Digne
    Hazard Fraser
    Wilson Vardy Higuain

    I am two players short for BGW 31 and willing to take -8. budget is not a problem.

    But absolutely out of ideas which two to add to above? Please suggest.

    1. Pilgrim62
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      FAnderson/Snody and Azpi/Ake

    2. Jammyfpl

    FH team... Any thoughts?

    Boruc
    Robbo, Azpi, Rice

    just did jimmenez to wilson, was afraid of further price drop/increase :

    1. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 17 days ago

      Apart from price which does not matter so much at this stage of the season ( until .1 short of ideal WC team) probably a good call anyway.

      1. hueycho
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 17 days ago

        yes, and I am guessing most people will be doing this, or at least contemplating about it

    2. Jammyfpl
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 17 days ago

      Wilson a great pick for the rest of the season good move mate

  24. b91jh
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 17 days ago

    My ML rival is using FH this week and I am quite sure he will own Hazard (and Fraser maybe). 42 points behind with no WC from him until the end of the season.

    Then,
    Sterling->Fraser or Sterling->Hazard?

    Cant see any reason getting Haz except ownership, but it could be a huge factor tho.

    1. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 17 days ago

      Probably Haz as cover but rival will probably have both on FH

  25. SpaceCadet
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 17 days ago

    Wilson or Firmino?

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 17 days ago

      Wilson.

      Firmino May be a good differential but I rate Mane Salah (yes, still) Robbo taa vvd ahead of him as FPL prospects

  26. The SK
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Thoughts on the transfers? Worth taking hits to field 11?

    Fabianski Button
    Robertson Kolasinac Schar AWB Bednarek
    Salah Hazard Mane Lanzini Hayden
    Higuain Vardy Rondon

    Thanks!

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years

      Sell Schar for a GW31 & 33 player

  27. akhilrajau
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 17 days ago

    Arnautovic -> Vardy is good?

    1. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 17 days ago

      Carlsberg

      1. akhilrajau
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 17 days ago

        My aim is Pogba -> frazor/lanzini so at Arnautovic -> vardy

    2. Batchain
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 17 days ago

      So sell Arnie with Huddersfield at home. Why would you do that?

      1. akhilrajau
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 17 days ago

        Yea thinking because of he is not played 90 minutes last gw also the return of lanzini.
        Otherwise Pogba,
        A. Kamara -> obiang, Vardy so can play 3-4-3
        B. Simply Pogba -> frazor/Anderson/lanzini
        Which one u prefer

    3. Batchain
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 17 days ago

      I guess so re Arnie. Either of those is good, but B. Pog to Fraser.

      1. akhilrajau
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 17 days ago

        Ok so no -4 hit and happy. little bit worried of not have Vardy but I accept u

      5 years, 17 days ago

      Nah. I got 12 too and can't be bothered taking a hit though I would like rid of Fanderson for Fraser.
      Lots taking hits this week use it to your advantage for OR rise.

      1. Wakanda
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 17 days ago

        ok understood

  29. FantasyNik123

    This seems like very important news and I haven't seen it posted anywhere and I think it will help you avoid taking unnecessary hits this GW in preparation for GW31 & GW33.

    -

    Watford play Crystal Palace in the FA Cup this weekend. One of them are guaranteed to go through, meaning that one of their fixtures in the prem is GUARANTEED to blank on GW33. If WAT beat CRY, WAT and FUL players WILL NOT play in GW33. If CRY beat WAT, CRY and NEW players WILL NOT play in GW33. So, what does this mean?

    -

    What we know is that both Fulham and Newcastle play in Blank GW31, but they are not guaranteed to play in Blank GW33. However, they could play in GW33, as could either Crystal Palace or Newcastle. Because one of the fixtures is guaranteed to blank, it means that if you currently have a combination of these players, at least one of them will play in GW33.

    -

    ***MAIN INFO***

    -

    If you own at least one player from each team of this pairing:

    CRY & WAT

    CRY & FUL

    NEW & WAT

    NEW & FUL

    THEN you will have at least one player playing from that combination in GW33.

    -

    Say if you currently own both Wan Bissaka (CRY) & Mitrovic (FUL) (CRY & FUL is a viable pairing from the combinations above). This means that GUARANTEED either Wan Bissaka OR Mitrovic will play in Blank GW33. Same for Rondon (NEW) & Deeney (WAT). Either Rondon or Deeney will be guaranteed to play in Blank GW33.

    -

    However, with a combination of players like Deeney (WAT) & Mitrovic (FUL), there is NO GUARANTEE that either will play GW33. Either both will play, or both won't play. Same with Wan B (CRY) & Rondon (NEW). Since CRY & NEW are not a viable pairing from the info above, either both will play GW33 or both won't play.

    -

    This is extremely important information for those who own a combination of these players. If you own a Newcastle & Fulham player for Blank GW31 (both teams play GW31), and are unsure if they will play GW33, it is GUARANTEED that at least one will play GW33, because NEW & FUL are a viable pairing from the info above.

    -

    This info is extremely valuable for people who also own 1 player from Watford and 1 player from Crystal Palace. Both teams don't play in GW31, so it seems obvious to let go of both of these players. However, since CP & WAT are a viable pairing from the info above, one of the players is GUARANTEED to play in GW33. Therefore, although you might have 10 players playing for GW31, if you own both a Watford & CP asset, you will actually have 11 players available for GW33! Meaning you might not need to take that ectra -4 this week to bring in an 11th player! Quite the magic trick! I hope this helped!

    -

    Please ask me questions in the comments as I know this is confusing. However, this is extremely important info, and it could save you from taking an unnecessary hit this GW!

      If your team is full of players from all of those clubs you are toast anyway, just get better players that start both blanks 😉

      How important is it that I read this?

      1. FantasyNik123
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 17 days ago

        If you currently own both a CP & WAT player and are thinking about shipping them out, then READ THIS. You can afford to bench them this week and save yourself a transfer as one of them WILL PLAY in GW33!

      If you take the extra -4, you get 11 players vs 10 this week.
      If FH32, you get a FT in 33.

      1. FantasyNik123
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 17 days ago

        The argument I see is that if you take a -4 to say bring in David Luiz. It actually will cost you 0, because he plays in 31 & 33 (2+2 negates the -4). However, if you have 10 players this GW and bench a CP & WAT player, then one WILL play in GW 33. Therefore you'll have a combined 21 players over both blanks and no -4 and a FT. Compared to 22 players over both blanks a -4 and a FT. The first strat with 21 players would save you 2 points. Fine margins, but still. Would help.

    2. Batchain
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 17 days ago

      There's the that comes on and scores about 2 goals a game. And then there's the one who looks at the pitch and is injured.
