FFS Cup

The second 2019/20 FFS Cup is now open for entry

Fantasy Football Scout users can now register their teams for our final Fantasy Premier League cup competition of the 2019/20 campaign.

We are launching our latest open-to-all tournament ahead of Gameweek 28, with £300-worth of prizes on offer as usual.

Sign-up for the open tournament can be found here.

The roll call of former cup winners looks like this: donnellycJoeGribudeGoonerdaveNinja_Fit_Saintssleeping masterMchWild RoverTdubb05 , CMIFLFCMarkLeon HarrisA Manager Has No NameSleepysiTH142EyedTurkMan-Chest-Heir, LOKOMOTIV and reigning champion Philman.

As former winners, those listed will gain a bye to the first round of the tournament should they enter with the same username.

If you’re new to our cup competitions, read on for an FAQ, offering all the details.

HOW DO THE CUP COMPETITIONS WORK?

The FFS Cup is very similar to the Fantasy Premier League’s own cup game.

Entrants who qualify for the first round will be randomly drawn against each other and the winner of the tie is whoever has the highest score from that Gameweek, minus points spent on transfers (like in the original game and in head-to-head scores).

In the event of a tie, the manager highest in the overall FPL rankings after the tie will progress.

WHEN DO THEY START?

The qualifying round for the Fantasy Football Scout Cup will take place in Gameweek 28, with the first round proper running in Gameweek 29.

Fantasy managers can enter their teams from now right up to 10:30am on Monday 2 March, when we’ll stop entries and make the first round draw shortly after.

Previous winners must enter with the same usernames listed above to gain their bye.

Entrants must also have registered their teams in Fantasy Premier League ahead of Gameweek 1.

HOW DO I ENTER?

Sign up for the open-to-all FFS Cup via the entry form here.

You will be sent a confirmation email to verify your entry and you’ll be asked to confirm your FPL team ID at the point of entry. If your FPL team is incorrectly entered, we cannot amend this at a later date.

Your entry is only completed once you have confirmed your FPL team ID as part of the process.

To check that you’re entered correctly, please scan the list of entries below.

The open-to-all FFS Cup list is here.

HOW DO I FIND MY FPL TEAM ID?

Your FPL ID is your unique ID for your FPL team. This is found via your Gameweek History page – the link to which is found in the right-hand menu under your FPL team strip. When you visit your Gameweek History you will see a number in the URL (as opposed to the XXX below).

https://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/XXX/history

Place this 1-7 digit number, or your Gameweek History URL, in the FPL ID field on the entry form.

WHEN WILL I FIND OUT IF I’VE QUALIFIED?

Results from the Fantasy Football Scout Cup qualifying round will be published shortly after Monday 2 March and then weekly, after the completion of each Gameweek, from that point on.

WHAT IS THE GAMEWEEK SCHEDULE?

The FFS Cup competition will be played out according to the following proposed Gameweek schedule:

Fantasy Football Scout Cup Round Dates
Qualifying – Gameweek 28

Round 1 – Gameweek 29
Round 2 – Gameweek 30
Round 3 – Gameweek 31

PRIZES

Overall Prizes
The prizes for the FFS Cup is as follows:

1st Place: £150 Amazon voucher
2nd Place: £100 Amazon voucher
3rd Place: £50 Amazon voucher

DO I HAVE TO ENTER IF I’M A PREVIOUS WINNER?

Yes, because your FPL team ID will have changed so we will need to record your entry again. As a previous winner, you will be given a bye to the first round proper.

DO I NEED TO BE REGISTERED WITH FANTASY FOOTBALL SCOUT?

We ask you to supply a Fantasy Football Scout username so we can feature you, as a member of our community, in any articles associated with the tournament.

Ideally, you will already have a username with us, but this is not essential to enter.

You must, however, supply a username for the purpose of the tournament so you can be identified in articles.

You must not change this username throughout the course of the tournament. Should you do so without permission, should you enter multiple teams, or if your FFS account comes under moderation for any reason, we reserve the right to remove you from a tournament at any stage.

    Which move:
    A) Auba+Grealish to Vardy+Barnes (money ITB to switch back to Auba)
    B) Grealish+O'Connell to Barnes+R James
    C) Auba+Grealish+Traore to Vardy+Bruno+Snodgrass (-4)

    I know it’s a commonly asked question, but is there an update on who’s playing in game weeks 29 & 31?, many thanks for your patience:)

    1. Old Gregg
      • 7 Years

      31 decided after rd 5 of fa cup which is being played Mon-Thurs next week.

      no idea about 29

          City vs Arsenal, could be announced later this GW for DGW29 if Arsenal are knocked out of Europa tomorrow
          or
          City vs Chelsea, could be announced next GW for DGW29 if one or both of them win their FA Cup 5th round ties.

          1. Gazwaz80

            City vs Chelsea seems very likely then??

          3. FantasyHero
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            City vs Chelsea? Why are these part of DGW? That game wasn't cancelled yet.
            What am I missing?

            1. FantasyHero
              • 7 Years

              Oh nvm bringing forward a city game that would be cancelled in gw 31. Hmm so is this likely?

    Anyone else selling the egotistical Egyptian soon? He Has looked garbage lately

    1. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      He has been poor. Watford and BOU games should get him back on track though. Favourite clubs to score against.

    2. Gazwaz80
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Probably sideways to Mane...

    3. I Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      4 goals and an assist in his last 4 league games. I think I'll keep.

    4. Long ago I drew a walrus
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Blank followed by horrible fixtures, now is the perfect time. Not sure why you'd want Trezeguet anyway, he's nowhere near the quality of Grealish

      1. Gazwaz80
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        ?

      2. Stormbringer22
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        😀

      3. OverTinker
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Trezeguet?? He was talking about ElMohammady

    5. Maddi Son
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Salah has a knack of looking garbage but also delivering the goods. He gets so many chances that he can afford to miss 5 or so a game and still get good returns. Sterling is the same.

      1. Rhinos
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        missing chances hasn't been the issue, its more his ability to beat a man and link up with team mates that's been lacking, has looked way off it tbh

    6. linkafu
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Sell please

    7. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      His record this season with & without Mane is quite telling

      Albeit small sample size (4 games) without Mane he averages somewhere around 12 points per game - which is just bonkers

      With Mane on the pitch however, its closer to 6 points per game - still not terrible but more 230-250 points a season than 300 a season level

  5. King Kohli
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Points prediction for these in the next 3 games?

    A. Vardy (nor,AVL,wat)
    B. DCL (MUN,che,LIV)
    C. Bruno (eve,MCI,tot)
    D. Richarlison (MUN,che,LIV)

    1. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Don't think you can accurately predict even the next game, let alone 3 games but if I could guess, I would go:
      Vardy - 18ish
      DCL - 8-9ish
      Bruno - 12-14ish
      Rich - 12ish

    Bench, button, Egan, Saka, kdb

      Save

    2. nolard
      • 9 Years

      traore to barnes, dependent on how much adama plays in the week

  7. Dr. Agabuse
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Did No one watch James and Chelsea play Yesterday?
    How did he do?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Spent most of it chasing back Alphonso Davies who was immense. Would avoid Chelsea assets (Chelsea fan)

      1. Long ago I drew a walrus
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Agree with this. However not sure last night's game makes any difference really, getting the run around from Bayern shouldn't be informing decisions on a match against Bournemouth

        1. Miguel Sanchez
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          We have been incapable of keeping clean sheets all season really and can see sides nicking goals against us even when we do win.

    2. I Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Bayern absolutely battered them.

    3. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Can’t really judge James off of last night, Bayern were streets ahead - Alphonso Davies will be ruining right backs for years to come.

      Still think he’s a decent option if you’re after Chelsea players.

    4. Lavecli
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Worst game in a Chelsea shirt for him but it was vs Bayern so want the heck. Really attacking tho and creates loads of chances each game. I've got him in my team personally

    6 Nations Rugby, Ire vs Ita, suspended due to Covid-19 threat. I appreciate it's in Ireland, but (as I stated last week here) I feel there could be issues for this GW28 and beyond, tin hats on, it could be an FPL dream scenario (which is utter chaos and loads of fixture permutations etc).

    Sorry i just posted this on another article by mistake.

    1. Long ago I drew a walrus
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Pretty sure that's because of Italy rather than Ireland.

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Off due to traveling Italians.

        Fairs, of course okay.

      Most of Airlines stopped flights to Italy now. Over reaction considering low 2.4% fatality rate but then they care a lot for their oldies

          I can tell you the truth depending on how.old are you 😉

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Is Henderson definitely missing this GW and GW31? Due to playing parent club. Makes sense to transfer to Pope?

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Yes, Hendo blanks in 31 regardless.

      Probably.

    2. HNI
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Patricio/Dubravka seem best

  10. Old Man
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Yes, I admit I've been having thoughts along the
    "What happens to footy if Coronavirus gets a real hold in the UK?"
    lines? Fixture carnage? Matches played but behind closed doors? Ignore the little b****** and go ahead anyway?

    I get a feeling Pukki will explode again at the end of the season. Just look at his fixtures...

    1. HNI
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      He will explode if he gets enough chances. His conversion is impressive but the team.rarely creates big chances anymore

    2. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Get him in now

    https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/first-team/388326-training-photos-melwood-liverpool-watford-premier-league

    No VVD in training. Live scenes from FPL Subscribe's house suggests he is having a party as he is 0.01% closer to his indisputable knowledge.

    1. UTD - HATED, ADORED, BUT NE…
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Wow, things turned sour very quickly for those that opted for double defence

      1. goriuanx
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Time to move to double United defence. Can see Liverpool bottling the title too chief, watchya reckon?

    2. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Owners punished for not getting the more sensible pick in Gomez

    3. OverTinker
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      VVD to Matip right ?

    4. I Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Nice of Jurgen to give big Virg the day off.

    5. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      So is VVD injured?

  13. BNMC
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    The one reason I don't want too many blanks in GW31 is that everyone who uses the free hit will have an identical team.

    1. El Presidente
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      There will be a lot of blanks and everyone is banking on having Liverpool assets available, which will not happen at all. Liverpool is going for the FA Cup as well, so forget it. We will have 4 fixtures max.

  14. psyurmh
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Bruno or Martial?

    1. linkafu
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Bruno at the penalty spot

  15. Long ago I drew a walrus
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Just watched some highlights of the Wolves v Norwich game to see how Doherty did down that right side. Reckon Pereira could do the same?

    Will there be a 2nd FFS Members Cup too?

  17. rnrd
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    ON FTs, would you do KDB to Richarlison if it enables you to do DCL --> Vardy?

  18. Lignja
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Lundstram and Grealish to Boly and Barnes

    Swap Traore to Mount -4 yes/no

    1. nolard
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      first two aye

      the third, depends on your team

      1. Lignja

        4 years, 2 months ago

        Pope
        Taa, Robo, Lascales, Rico, Boly
        Salah, Traore, Barnes
        Vardy, Ings

        Kdb, Auba, Dendoker

    2. Fit_to_drop
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I wouldnt swap Traore to Mount based on what i saw last night.

      Last week after watching them against Spurs - I would. But not after last night. Chelsea are a bit all over the shop IMO at the moment.

  19. slove
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Grealish to Barnes for -4? Means benching Traore this week?

    1. nolard
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I am pondering the same, or moving Traore to prepare for a wolves defender instead.

      1. slove
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Doherty is virtually the same price as Traore and it is looking like he will be doing more attacking as well as all of the benefits of being a defender

      Ship out Alonso and get one of Leicester wingbacks and maybe get Armstrong for Southampton in mid ,not sure about doubling up on its, would go with Bruno though,you could also then ship on vvd and get s cheap Southampton Def then get

      If you're Mongolian, today is the start of the new year.

      It's called Tsagaan Sar

        I'm not Mongolian unfortunately. I'm stuck on this rubbish Gregarious calendar - out almost every night socialising.

    I am not keeping up with all these leagues and cup compo's in FPL.

    I have enough to deal with just by concentrating on my OR 😀

      Just enter this one and stop fannying around. You don't need to do anything after you've entered.

        I entered a previos competition on here. Cannot remember what it is called, not sure if it is even on anymore lol.

        First season where I have taken FPL seriously as well since joining last year. Ha ha.

      You join the competition and forget about it till you reach semis 😉

    Best gk to replace Ramsdale?

      Someone else mentioned Dubravka which is a good shout with his fixtures but you would have to be content to scoring every second week as they tend to concede away from home...

    How will we be supposed to pick only 3 pool players next year when Werner will have signed for the reds in the summer ?

      • 5 Years

      Simple, Taa Robbo & Mane 😉

        You cant change how you look. FFS mirrors your real self

    A) Auba to : Ings or Firmi

    B) KDB to: Maddison or Martial

    1. Fit_to_drop
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      If just for one week? OK then A (firmi) or B (Marty)

      But Id be holding both Auba and KDB beyond that.

    I can't decide who I should bring in for Grealish since I already have Maddison. What about Mount?

    1. HNI
      • 11 Years

      Bench him. Traore and Barnes not 100% nailed. Only good options are lil.more expensive at Martial/Bruno

      Was keen on Mount after watching Chelsea v Spurs last week but have re-assessed my view after watching last night. Granted Bayern look Champs League contenders but Mount looked like a boy amongst men last night. Dont fancy Chelsea right now. All over the place.
