FFS Cup

The FFS Cup III – The Final Results

10 December 2010 1039 comments

Akers

After a record number of entrants for the third Fantasy Football Scout Cup, sponsored by Paddy Power, over 1300 fantasy managers fell at one of ten stages leaving just one to claim the top prize.

Joining FFS Cup I winner donnellyc and FFS Cup II winner Jonty, gooner dave takes his place in our Hall of Fame, becoming the first winner from the continent. Saving his biggest win for the final, he absolutely trashed tippman 69 – 36…

In a reasonably low-scoring week, a double-figure haul from Samir Nasri, an eight and a nine point return from captain Carlos Tevez and Paul Robinson respectively, saw him ease over the line with an excellent score. So, along with his second top-scorer prize, gooner dave receives a free £200 bet courtesy of Paddy Power, meaning he comes out of the competition with his pockets lined with £250 worth of free bets.

In contrast, tippman had a miserable week. When Paul Konchesky is your top-scoring player, you can’t really hope to beat anyone. Couple that with the most, erm, surprising choice of captaincy I’ve ever seen in Raul Meireles, and the runners-up prize of a free £100 bet courtesy of Paddy Power, looks a welcome consolation.

Elsewhere, in our 3rd place play-off, The Von successfully used an eight-point hit to narrowly beat DRP 64 – 61 and claim a free £50 bet.

Well that’ll do it then. Thanks to everyone for taking part, I hope you enjoyed it whilst it lasted for you, and thanks also to SUPERIOR BEING for his help throughout.

Coming Soon: The Fantasy Football Scout Cup IV…

I'm swaying towards Torres against a dilapidated NUFC defence and to celebrate the birth of his baby.

  Torres i'm not sure, the birth of a child will, imo, only make him more tired from lack of sleep! also torres is quite unpredictable and his record away from home is far from impressive

Worth a four point hit to do two changes to remove the doubtful Barton and unreliable Milner for Cahill and Bale? It would give me this line up

Jaask
Knight, Jagielka, Samba
CAHILL, Nani, Nasri, BALE, N'Zogbia
Carroll, Drogba

Any better suggestions than Bale for the next couple of weeks?

Any thoughts on a better transfer to do this week than Drogba out for Torres?

Current team:

Schwarzer (Al-Habsi)
Cashley, Vidic, Jones (Kolarov, Jara)
Nani (c), Kuyt, Jarvis, Bale (N'Zogbia)
Carroll, Drogba, Elmander

Planning on doing Tevez in for Carroll perhaps next week then will see when its best to ditch Schwarzer before he fecks off.

Evening

Usual difficult decision of who to bench out of

Nani, Brunt, MGP, Malouda, Nasri.
Drogba, Torres, Elmander

I am leaning towards Elmander but would really appreciate thoughts.

Going to captain Torres on the basis that Newcastle in a justifiable sulk and Torres wanting to impress his new child!

Thanks all

Does anyone have any idea if Jarvis will play tomorrow? not sure whether to stick or twist with him! I could bring him anyone for him as a 1 week punt and then get gerrard for fulham at home? if he's fit he is as good a punt as any surely?

14 years, 12 months ago
Guys, i need some help on a mid-term decision. Whichever one i choose will stay in my team for the next 6 GWs at least. In this time, i may not be able to change my FF team so I dont want to buy anyone who might score highly tomorrow then go missing for three weeks afterwards. cheers.

1) Jarvis to Silva
Drogba to Torres (4pt)
2) Drogba to Balotelli
3) Jarvis to Silva
4) Any of above, except change Jarvis to Dunn
5) Nothing
6) other

Team is:

Foster Krul
KToure Kyrgiakos Samba GCahill Coleman
Nani Nasri Dunn Brunt Jarvis
Drogba Tevez Carroll
4.4

Point hits are totally fine up to 8pts. Any ideas will be appreciated. 😀

  If you can't touch your team for 6 weeks Dunn is far too risky. Don't rate Silva though, although also risky, VDV should be back next week.

    I was thinking of bringing in Torres for Tevez this week, and then swapping out Jones and Malouda for Tevez and a cheap midfielder the week after... Tevez and Torres both look like great options from next week but I want to keep Jones this week because he's against Blackpool.

    Yeah although his stats are excellent. He's assisted or scored in nearly every game this season, home or away, even when the team as a whole was playing awfully.
    
    I couldn't drop him unless the whole sacking business affects his form.

        I agree that people worry too much about value, and often make ridiculous transfers (or more often, make transfers too early).
        
        But a little consideration for price changes goes a long way imo.
