Gameweek 38 saw the final and third-place play-off of our second FFS Members Cup of the season play out.

We’ve also got news of the Scout Picks Community Champion winner at the foot of this piece.

FINAL
NameScoreRank NameScoreRank
**Farke Life**584275vsChaballer6717257

There was a heavyweight clash between two managers with a combined nine top 10,000 finishes to their names in our final. In a joint 28 Fantasy Premier League (FPL) seasons between them, their lowest rank is 100.4k.

**Farke Life**, indeed, has moved up to 70th in our Hall of Fame as a result of his latest top 5k finish.

Chaballer claimed victory by nine points even though he took a -4 hit on the final day.

Harry Kane, Andrew Robertson and Reece James (a combined 26 points) were the real difference makers for our new champions, with **Farke Life** eating some ground back with unique picks Eddie Nketiah and Kai Havertz (13 points).

Both managers captained Son Heung-min and shared six starters in total.

THIRD-PLACE PLAY-OFF

glennloite4961992vsPeteski29651290

In our third-place play-off, Peteski29 secured victory as he consolidated a fourth successive top 10k finish.

Our two managers once again captained Son and, yes, once again shared six players.

glennloite had some final-day success with Harvey Barnes and auto-sub Matty Cash but Peteski29 was a comfortable winner in the end, with Robertson, James and James Maddison doing the business.

Our victor also took one hit fewer than their opponent.

    My average rank in 16 years of playing FPL is now 89,913th. Which is not great.

    In the last five years I've either been near the top, or completely off the pace, but I don't think I played differently in the good years.

    2017/18 - 2,308
    2018/19 - 366,59
    2019/20 - 1,453
    2020/21 - 230,507
    2021/22 - 356,887

      Covid seems a factor for you.

      You deserve parachute payments for some of those drops 😎

    Gamweeks in which most goals scored by players in my team,
    GW1 - 6 goals and GW38 - 7 goals.
    Find this quite amusing 🙂

      And 5th place!

    2. RogDog_jimmy

      GW1 and GW38 were my highest GW ranks by far - 8,680 and 20,464.

      GW1 was 10 goals and 5 assists. Such an awesome start.

    5-4-1 or 4-4-2 next year?

      It's too early to say but I'd probably favour 4-4-2 in the absence of any other info. It's a bit more flexible to get to 3 strikers from if they start firing (and likewise still easy enough to get to 5-4-1 if they don't).

      1. Skonto Rigga

        • 6 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Yeah, I like that. As you mention, it's too early to say for sure until we've seen prices/fixtures but there's a naivety in assuming that the same patterns (big at the back, forwards being poop) will carry over from one season to the next.

      Ah, no problem at all. A huge well done! Was admiring your absurdly consistent season history when putting together the above.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years

        Ah thanks mate, that 100.4k still haunts me a bit lol

      Congratulations for the win Chaballer. And agree with you with the articles from Neale, thanks!

        Well played, Pete. What's your secret over the last four seasons!?

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years

          Thanks! Planning ahead and thinking of all transfers as a -4, with a little luck mixed in along the way

      Congratulations for winning the cup Chaballer!
      It was a close final between us until the Robertson goal late on, he's been a thorn in my side for weeks!

      Hope you see this as there are some new articles.

      Have a great summer

    I heard rumours of change to the game for next season. Has there been hints what these might be?

    1. The Knights Template

      3-4-4 will be an option apparently.

    Looks like Son and Vardy are going up in price tonight.

    How does Fabio Borges do it

      He went down to the crossroads

    2. Sheffield Wednesday

      Every time someone moans that "it's all luck.. it's all random.. casuals rewarded," etc there should be some sort of bot response with a link to Fabio's FPL history.

    It would be interesting to see Peter Allaway(third place in the cup) in the Meet the Manager video series to talk for his last four 10k consecutive seasons.
