FFS Cup

The winner of our FFS Cup competition revealed

Our second FFS Cup competition of the season came to a conclusion in Gameweek 37, with a new winner crowned following Monday’s match at the Etihad.

Our final was a clash between two managers who were – and still are -lurking just outside the top 1,000 in Fantasy Premier League.

LOKOMOTIV emerged as the winner, beating Scout moderator Rotation’s Alter Ego by 50 points to 44.

Captaincy choice effectively sealed the contest, with LOKOMOTIV banking 16 points after handing the armband to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£10.8m).

Our gallant runner-up opted to captain Sergio Aguero (£11.8m), who chose an inopportune time to register his first blank of the season when starting in a home Premier League fixture.

Seven players featured in both managers’ starting XIs, as the images below show.

Rotation’s Alter Ego’s team for Gameweek 37 (above)

In our third-place play-off, Skogen89 defeated Ibra-gum 55-43.

Again, captaincy played a big part in proceedings.

Skogen89 handed the armband to Eden Hazard (£11.0m) – whom he brought in for a hit – while Ibra-gum captained Aguero.

Congratulations to LOKOMOTIV and a very well done to the three managers who came close to glory themselves.

    Congratulations Lokomotiv 🙂

    Must admit I thought I had you coming into the gameweek, but Doherty and Auba smashed it for you!

    Well done!

    1. OldBenKenobi
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      The Auba(c) killed you. Close though

        Haha thank you!

        I specialise in failing to qualify, so no idea where this came from 😉

    3. Amey

    Son + Jota --> Redmond + B. Silva
    Looks ok, right? . Or would you put Son on the bench, play JWP and ship out Jota + Jiminez?

    Would leave me with:

    Lloris
    TAA - Robbo - Laporte
    Mane - Hazard - Redmond - B. Silva
    Aguero - Vardy - Jiminez

    (Ryan - JWP - Valery - Peltier)

    1. Emm7980
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      I'm leaning towards playing JWP, and prob valery actualy. Won't get a better fixture for them

  7. Rash
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Was eliminated by the team that finished 3rd. Well done Skogen89

  8. Amey

    So the last article from this gw will last for 2 months ??

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam

      I think they have articles in between Amey.

  9. Karan14

    Better option for this week?

    A) TAA & B.Silva
    B) Laporte & Redmond

      Bilva is on great form playing for the team with goals - Redmond plays for Southampton!

      1. Annie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        He hasn’t been getting points though

        1. pingissimus
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          Yes he is

          Two big hauls in his last 5 matches - at least matching Redmond.

          1. Annie
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 10 months ago

            You mean one.

            1. pingissimus
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 10 months ago

              No two.

              United and Fulhan

              1. Annie
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 11 Years
                4 years, 10 months ago

                That was GW32, you can’t discount a game he played in.

  10. Mattymo23
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    I'm 40 points clear of my ML rival. I have two FT. Is Son and Jiminez to Lucas Moura and Wilson a good move? He has both Moura and Wilson.

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      To be honest I think you are pretty safe with 40 points .

    2. Konstaapeli
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      yes

    3. Treadstone
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      I would ..cover his team as much as you can.They are both good picks for this game week anyway.

  11. Werkself

    Congrats to Loco, who knocked me out in an earlier round.

    1. Lokomotiv
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Thanks 🙂

  12. Emm7980
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Play JWP or Jimenez?

    Have Valery but no other wolves.

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      JWP

  13. czechow
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Does anyone know when press conferences will be this week? Given that all games are on Sunday will they be Friday and Saturday?

  14. Now I'm Panicking
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Only Brighton are predicted to score less goals than Wolves this week based on speed betting mid-points (Brighton 0.65, Wolves 0.75, Cardiff and Huddersfield 0.8)

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Really want to bring in Redmond but a City defebder might be the safe play.

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Shame that Robbo is Injured.
      Can do with double pool Defense this gw

    Lloris
    Taa Doherty bednarek
    Salah sterling son* Jota
    Aguero jiminez llorente

  18. xtina

    11PTs ahead in mini-league. Me & rival only have Wilson & Jiminez the same. Rival has Sterling & Aguero.

    Do i:

    1) Salah -> Sterling? A Brighton defender would have to play

    2) Salah -> Sterling + Firmino -> Aguero (-4). Would leave me only 7 points ahead

    2) Firmino -> Rondon

    1. xtina
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Mucked numbers up :P. 3) Firmino -> Rondon

    Congratulations to all 3 winners and thanks guys for organising this.
    Looking forward to the next one(s) next season

  20. Bendito Fantasy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Who do you consider a bigger must have in the last day?
    B Silva or Aguero?

    1. bautasten
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Aguero

  21. smix
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Which of these moves for a hit?

    A. Jota to Redmond
    B. Jota to Pogba
    C. Jimi to Zaha
    D. Jimi to Wilson ?

  22. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    A: Start Jimenez or Kola
    B: Jiménez > any forward up to 8m (-4)

    Bench would be one of Jiménez/kola, Doherty, Gray

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      I'm doing Jimenez to Vardy (-4)
      In your case I'd keep Jimenez (Mitrovic/Rondon looks good though tbh)

  23. drughi
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Think I will bring in Pogba after all, Cardiff at home and last game of the season. Surely a penalty coming united way

  24. Van der Faart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    44 point lead in ML. Should be safe right?

    Ederson

    Laporte TAA VVD

    Mane Sterling Son* JWP

    Wilson Rashford

    Foster Boly Jota Jimi

    Jimi to Vardy
    Son to who? For -4

    A) Fraser
    B) Mili
    C) Redmond
    D) someone else up to 7.2m

    Thanks

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      C for me. Doing exactly same transfers

    JWP Bilva Jota Salah*
    Jimmy Laca Kun

    Ryan Doherty Duffy Son**

    2FT 0,8 itb

    Toughts ?
    Robbo and Salah to Sterling and Laporte/TAA ?

    1. bautasten
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Salah will probably play and I would wait for news on Robbo, but if confirmed out, maybe Robbo to cheapie and Son to Mane.

  27. bautasten
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Evening! Which move do you prefer?

    A) Son -> Hazard (lei)
    B) Duffy -> Laporte (bri)
    C) Son -> Redmond (HUD)
    D) Son -> Bernardo Silva (bri)

    If A I'd probably have to do it tonight (exakt cash). It's tempting but Hazards away form a concern.

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      C

      1. bautasten
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Thanks. Probably should add that I also got JWP. Would that sway you to another option?

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          If you don't want to double up on Southampton attack, I'd do B.
          City CS is a good shout imo. I have Hazard & enjoyed his © haul last gw, but won't bring him this gw Because of away form + Leicester in form + EL possible Rotation.

          I'd only get b Silva if Fernandinho is back fit because that'd allow him to play on RW instead of Midfield 3

          1. bautasten
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 10 months ago

            Bilva played rw last game (foden cm, gundo cdm) but it didn't really work out.

            Thanks for the input!
