Our third and final Fantasy Premier League (FPL) cup competition for the 2023/24 campaign is now open for entry – and £300-worth of prizes are on offer.

This tournament is for Premium Members, who can sign up for the tournament via the entry form here.

In our FFS Members Cup, our list of previous winners is as follows: 

Those listed above will gain a bye to the first round proper of this new FFS Members Cup should they enter with the username listed.

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

HOW DO THE CUP COMPETITIONS WORK?

Our cups are very similar to the Fantasy Premier League’s own Fantasy 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 Members Cup will take place in Gameweek 29, with the first round running in Gameweek 30.

Fantasy managers can enter their teams in the FFS Members Cup until 23:59 GMT on Sunday 17 March. We will make the first-round draw after Gameweek 29 ends.

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

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

HOW DO I ENTER?

Enter the FFS Members Cup via the entry form here. This form is only visible to Premium Members and you will need to log into the Premium Members’ Area to view the form.

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. Your entry is only completed once you have confirmed your FPL team ID as part of the process. If your FPL team is incorrectly entered, we cannot amend this at a later date.

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

The FFS Members 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 1-8 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 Members Cup qualifying round will be published shortly after Gameweek 29 ends and then weekly, after the completion of each Gameweek, from that point on.

WHAT IS THE GAMEWEEK SCHEDULE?

The cup will be played out according to the following proposed Gameweek schedule:

Fantasy Football Scout Members Cup Round Dates

  • Qualifying – Gameweek 29
  • Round 1 – Gameweek 30
  • Round 2 – Gameweek 31
  • Round 3 – Gameweek 32
  • Round 4 – Gameweek 33
  • Round 5 – Gameweek 34
  • Quarter-Final – Gameweek 35
  • Semi-Finals – Gameweek 36
  • Final and third place play-off – Gameweek 37

WHEN ARE THE FIXTURES RELEASED?

Where possible, the fixture list for each round will be published before each Gameweek deadline.

PRIZES

Overall Prizes
The prizes for both cups are 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.

*please note that our Cups page will be updated later in the week

    What are you expecting tonight in Europe?

    a) West Ham go through at home (trail 0-1 vs Freiburg)
    b) Aston Villa go through at home (0-0 1st leg vs Ajax)
    c) both
    d) neither

    1. Pipermaru
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Villa will go through, West Ham very erratic so anything possible.

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Both to go through. West Ham have already beaten Freiburg in the group stage. Ajax are a shell of their former selves.

    3. Studs Up
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      a

    Last Man Standing GW28 (184 teams)

    Safety score = 52
    Top score = Crunchie with 81

    30 teams to be removed, 154 teams through to GW29
    Up to a minimum 18% out next GW
    Congrats to all the survivors!

      Ouch, that´s me out then! Surprised I had a good run this season..
      Thanks once again for running this TM, I´ll be back next year.

  3. Big W
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Would you FH this? 1FT
    Areola
    Doughty Kabore Regulion
    Bowen
    Watkins

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Definitely

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      yes

    3. The Final Boss
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Probably yeah, but if you havent taken hits in previous game weeks may be take a -8 to bring maddy son toney in?

    4. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Nowhere near enough attackers for me, so yes FH territory. Too many hits to bring in the same players as everyone else means you'll never make gains

    5. Mozumbus
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Get Son and Maddison for -4 and thank me later

  4. FPL Sanky
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Areola
    Regullion Doughty Konsa Porro
    Son (C)
    Watkins Morris

    Should I take a -4 to get Toney and Bowen?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      You'll sleep better, both have been out of form though. Depends on who you sell.

      1. The Final Boss
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        Bowen scored a hatrick couple of weeks ago mate..

      2. FPL Sanky
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        I was planning on selling Gordon and Solanke.....was planning to WC from GW30 anyway and don't see me keeping Bowen and Toney on a WC considering there are plenty of better options available elsewhere

    2. The Final Boss
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Get maddy who has luton in 30..

      1. FPL Sanky
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        I'll get him in on a WC for 30....was asking just for this 1 week

    3. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      I think it pays off - the choice of players to bring in really depends on moves beyond 29 though

    4. Mozumbus
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Bowen without hit

  5. Biggsy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    From end of last article. Doing KDB to Maddison to give me 9 players. Only issue is that one of those is Adebayo. The news from Edwards this week was positive but he didn't make the bench last night, so (given its a hamstring) it seems unlikely he gets more than a cameo vs NFO.

    Assuming that there is some positive news of his involvement at the weekend, would you?
    a. Keep Adebayo and hope for something, even if its a 1 pointer
    b. Muniz (-4)
    c. Toney (-4)

    I am probably going to WC in GW31 and will be playing whoever I keep n GW30 (Muniz vs shu making me lean towards B)

    Areola,
    Pau, Porro, Doughty
    Son, Maddison, Bowen
    Watkins, Morris, Adebayo*

    1. The Final Boss
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Toney

    2. golfboy
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      -4 for Toney

    3. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Thanks both - Toney (bur, MNU) better than Muniz (TOT, shu)?

      1. Karan_G14
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        Toney imo.

      2. The Final Boss
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        Yes, he is proven and nailed we don't know with muniz broja and even jimenez lurking..

  6. Steavn8k
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Thoughts on current FH team: (fairly template I know)
    Flekken
    Doughty-Reguilon-Porro
    Bowen-Kudus-Son-Madders
    Watkins-Morris-Toney
    (Kaminsky-Gibbs White-Coufal-Konsa)
    Kind of want to bring in Wissa instead of Wissa and then do Flekken to ??

    1. Steavn8k
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Wissa instead of Morris that is..

      1. The Final Boss
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        Luton attack at home is different, morris home on pen for me above wissa..

    2. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      After the Luton capitulation last night, I think the gains are to be made in the Forrest assets so would probably prefer MGW in over Kudus. Wissa vs Toney (which I assume is what you mean at the end) sort of depends on gut feel and how far you want to stray from the template

    3. golfboy
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      looks decent to me GTG

  7. golfboy
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Areola
    Taylor Udogie Doughty Reguilon
    Son
    Watkins

    A) Free Hit
    B) -8 for Madders and Toney (9 players)

    1. abaalan
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Think A (just)
      Fact you have lots of defenders isn't ideal as I don't see any clean sheets. A -8 and still only 4 attackers doesn't seem great, plus youd presumably be losing players you want to keep longer term i.e halaand /foden/saka/palmer

      1. golfboy
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        Very true. Thank you. Hitting the button

  8. abaalan
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Fh active - which 2 to start ?
    A. Morris
    B. muniz
    C. Elanga
    D. Bailey

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      BD

    2. Pipermaru
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      AC

    3. Limbo
      • 15 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      DC

    4. Mozumbus
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      AB

  9. AppleDunk
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Which is more appealing?

    A) Solanke -> Toney
    B) Foden -> Maddison

    B allows for Bowen to Salah in GW30 and Watkins to Haaland in GW31

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      A

    2. Pipermaru
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      With that follow up B is better.

    3. Somnus
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      B if A knocks you out of Salah and Haaland

    4. Mozumbus
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      B

  10. Zdrale87
    • 7 Years

    Any love for Hudson Odoi in FH?

    1. AppleDunk
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Better options I feel

  11. OptimusBlack

    Trippier Garnacho Soalnke >>
    Udogie Maddison Wissa
    For -8 and play with 9 players ?
    Yaaaay
    Nope go with FH

    1. AppleDunk
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      FH

    2. boc610
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      FH

    3. GC123
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      8/9 is plenty. Keep your powder dry on the FH for a DGW. I’m writing-off GW29 and only going with 6. I know I’ll drop rank but the ceiling is much higher in a DGW and it could be a relatively low scoring week, even for those fielding 11. The key is having a few of the big boys like Son, Watkins etc

      1. boc610
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        your not factoring in a lot of people easily getting prepared for next DGW with WC's and other chips being played ike BB knocking some of the force off the FH chip. why drop rank now when you easily avoid a rank drop without a FH chip now by the time the next DGW comes around

        1. GC123
          • 4 Years
          1 year, 9 months ago

          Each to their own. Every week we make individual decisions and judgement calls. This is no different. GW34 & GW37 offer good opportunities. I’m not saying people shouldn’t free-hit. I’m just not planning to. Sometimes gambles pay off, other times they bite you on the butt. That’s the fun of the game. If we all did the same every week it would be dull. 8, 9, 10 & 11 players may not actually offer that much

    4. Studs Up
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      FH

    5. OptimusBlack

      Thxxxxx

  12. Nightf0x
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Which ?

    A) solanke -4 to toney
    B) solanke -4 to wissa

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      B in form

  13. The Final Boss
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    A) Guys when would we know the bou double? As a wc 30/31 and fh 34 bb 37 guy i would like to know the info before I wc. If it falls on 34 then no need to go big on them in wc is what I think.

    B) If wolves win this week in fa then they are certain to double in 37?.

    1. The Knights Template

      B

  14. Sam (Team Sam)
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Areola

    Doughty, Taylor, ***

    Son, Bowen, ***, ***

    Watkins, Toney, ***

    I can get this with a -4.

    Reckon it's worth a free hit to cancel the -4 and gain 4 additional players?

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      I’d FH that.

    2. Somnus
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      I'd FH that team. Also, who was the -4 for? You will lose them for 30 with the FH

      1. Sam (Team Sam)
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        -4 is for Bowen and Toney, but in 30 I'll be taking a -4 to swap them both for Salah and a cheap striker (8th attacker) anyway

  15. AZERTY
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    For a 1 week punt:
    A) Bowen
    B) Maddison

    1. The Knights Template

    Current line up

    Areola

  19. ratski
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Notts Forrest people, what's the score with Chris Wood? They have an interesting run and I'm only interesting in nailed players. He played 90 against Brighton last game but not much before that. Was that due to injury ? Or just not playing ?

    1. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      I'm not a Forest fan but I do know he has just returned from injury. I think Awoniyi was injured when Wood got his last run of starts so not sure if either is super nailed

  20. Roshen
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Areola
    Doughty Taylor Porro
    Son
    Watkins Fofana

    Would you go extra hits to bring some other players? (not planning to WC next week)

    1. Mozumbus
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Yes
      Maddison and Bowen

      1. Roshen
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        And what to do with them after? You prefer Bowen and Maddison over Saka and Foden?

        1. Mozumbus
          • 4 Years
          1 year, 9 months ago

          You must have two more midfielders

  21. grooveymatt65

    Thanks guys!!!!!!

    1. Conners

      Is Reguilon ok?

      Team looks same as mine otherwise

        Seems like manager say he should be fine against burnley? If not nvm i have my bench to go in

  23. SpaceCadet
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Toney or wissa?

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Toney, Wissa only an option alongside him

  24. Kane Train
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Would you trade Solanke > Toney?

    1. Conners
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Yes (that's what I'm doing)

    2. PartyTime
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Yes

  25. Somnus
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    No FH BDG29. Can get to 10 players with my free transfer. Plan to WC GW31

    Question:
    1: Solanke to Toney (bur & MUN), also means I play Saka vs City in GW30
    2. Saka to Maddison (ful & LUT), also get Solanke vs Everton in GW30
    3. Take a hit and do both, which gives me Maddisons 2 fixtures, and Toneys 2 fixtures in GW29&30

  26. PartyTime
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Poor Luton play attractive football. They deserve to stay up 🙁

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Only new team I want to stay up.

    2. x.jim.x

    I this enough to save FH:
    Areola
    Pau
    Son-D.Luiz-Bowen
    Watkins

    GW29 transfer: Foden to Maddison and maybe: Estupinan to Udogie/Doughty for -4 giving me 8 active for GW29

      I’d say 8 is enough but rather go for two attackers. Maddison and Toney or a Forest player.
