Mingo691476vsthalliday19856017348

Bench Boost and captaincy fails couldn’t stop Scrumper recording a 73-61 victory over alblack12 in the final of our FFS Members Cup.

Scrumper got just four extra points as a result of deploying the chip, while the captaincy of Harry Kane also fell flat.

Luckily, their opponent also backed the Spurs forward with the armband.

Scrumper’s selection of Aaron Ramsdale and a double-up on the Liverpool defence helped seal victory, despite alblack12 clawing back some of that advantage with a Vladimir Coufal clean sheet.

In the third-place play-off, a Jarrod Bowen captaincy was the main difference-maker as Mingo saw off thalliday1985, who handed the armband to Trent Alexander-Arnold. The defeated manager also took a minus four, to extend Mingo’s winning margin.

The final of our Members Cup was a humdinger, with TallestJohn almost overturning Fusen’s sizeable lead going into Thursday and falling short by a single point.

Fusen was sitting pretty after a successful Kevin De Bruyne captaincy, leading by 17 points going into the final day.

TallestJohn handed the armband to Diogo Jota, however, and his haul all but wiped that advantage out.

In the end, Fusen prevailed as Ben White and Bukayo Saka matched Aaron Ramsdale and Mohamed Salah‘s contributions, resulting in an 80-79 victory.

In our third-place play-off, the mysterious ‘Restored’ team saw off rocco10, with Gabriel Martinelli‘s red card ultimately costing the latter a victory.

    Morning.
    How was your game week?

    1. Holmes
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Okish. small red with 70pts.

    2. nico05
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Morning, a rare good GW for myself ha how did you get on mate

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Not bad. I got 76, I just have to remind myself about effective ownership. Those Jota goals meant nothing which is kind of sad.

        1. nico05
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          Decent score there mate. I know almost everyone in my work league has him too, soo annoying!

    3. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Pretty poor. 53 with no Jota.

      I thought he might be rested for that one, surely he'll be rested next game.

    4. el polako
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Risky decisions to captain certain Egyptian backfired massively but I was bailed out by Jacob Ramsey so only dropped few places.

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Damn. That’s crazy.

    5. denial
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Atrocious. 58 points, Kane cap, dropped 100k

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Really unlucky with Kane. Feel that was a good idea considering form and he came really close twice.

        1. denial
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          Yeah. He was good in the cup too. Could've gone Jota, Bowen, or Pool/City defenders for cap too.

    6. Silecro
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Great actually, 84 pts with 451 formation, KDB good as captain. Digne, Watkins and Foden only ones underwhelming

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Smashing. 🙂

    7. boc610
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      77, jota (c) saved me.

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Damn that’s a sweet one.

        • 4 Years

        ditto

    8. Sun God Nika

    9. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      75. Run of the mill. Broja on bench again.

      He has got over 36 points on the bench for me this season (out of a total of 169 🙂 )

  5. D.Glynn
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Looking for some chip advice, trying to long term plan transfers, gw 26 and 27 seem grand but will probably only have 2/3 players for bgw 30. Have 1 FH, will I need it in the down the line? Will there be worse bgw.?

    1. Holmes
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      GW30 is probably better for FH

      27 should be easier to navigate with transfers.

      1. D.Glynn
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah I'll be grand for 27, but what about later in the season?

        1. Holmes
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          30 should be last one with multiple blanks. after that, I dont think there will be many BGWs. maybe one or two with couple of teams missing out.

  6. El_Gigante

    Ramsdale*
    Dalot, Cancelo, TAA

    1. D.Glynn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      I'd chance 1 more week without Salah. DGW is worth it

    1. denial
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Don't really have an obvious captain, but then is Ronaldo an obvious captain?

    1. nico05

      Shaw if you can, more nailed and better going forward

    Think with one of my free transfers I'm going to do KDB > Bruno and then CR7 & Bruno > Salah & Kane in GW26
    Would go straight to Salah but 0.1 short and don't want to take CR7 out before the double. Thoughts?

    Also who would you captain, Bruno or CR7?

  16. _Gunner

        I know. I could WC and get him in I guess ?

        1. TopBinFC

          I think hes essential but if you have gone this long without then maybe continue without

    1. Jota and Salah
    Or
    2. Salah and Son?

      2

    2. TopBinFC

      Jota, Salah and Son

  21. Yome
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    On WC, keep Bowen (has NEW next gameweek) or go with Raphinha for his double in 26?

    1. The Mentaculus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Bowen. Im playing him in 26 too

    2. Sun God Nika
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Bowen is a long term keep till end of season. Imo

      1. Yome
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Yes, risky going without him with his ownership so high.

    3. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      100% Bowen. Ralph’s double is crap anyway.

      1. TopBinFC
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah United are crap, Leeds should do ok there

      2. Yome
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        That is what I thought, I am always a bit tempted to get players with a double. But Bowen could outscore him with a juicy Newcastle at home

        1. TopBinFC
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          Newcastle are like Norwich now, teams wont score many against them. Tightened up alot. Leeds always attack no matter who they play.

    4. Il Capitano
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Bowen

  22. Henning
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Have de Gea and Dalot for this dgw should, I get Bruno in for Bernardo for free or Salah in for kdb.
    Just have 4 dgw 26 player at the moment.

    1. Yome
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Get Bruno and captain him. KDB might be rested with UCL game on tuesday

      1. Henning
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Thats why i was tempted to do salah in for Kdb

        1. Yome
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          I would get both Bruno and KDB. I wildcarded to get Salah back (would have cost me -8) and bring im double players

  23. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    A Team and bench gtg-risk another week with no Salah and possibly a KDB benching.

  27. AC Yew

    I own Jota Son and Bruno. Who should I lose for Salah this week? Bearing in mind Bruno has a double. What would you do in my position?. Planning to lose Bruno after the double anyway.
    Thanks

    1. Il Capitano
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Go without this week

      1. AC Yew
        • 5 Years

        Too scared!

    2. vova
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Jota I guess, I'm in a similar position. Want to bring in Salah but would have to be for Jota.

      1. AC Yew
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Need multiple transfers to afford it.

    3. Yome
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      No need to own both Salah and Jota.
      Sell Jota, he wil be rotated with Diaz

      1. TopBinFC
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        I feel Jota is the main man now after Salah, hes been exceptional. Will play the most mins out of the rest

        1. AC Yew
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          I'm happy to own both tbh.

      2. AC Yew
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Just realised I'm short of cash to move from Jota to Salah..and thats with two moves!

  28. Biggsy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Just twenty minutes of Salah and I was clenching all the way through as a non-owner. Combined with a worry about KDB minutes, any of these appeal? I'm playing FH in 26

    A. KDB to Bruno (free)
    B. KDB + Antonio to Salah + Weghorst or other £7m striker (-4)
    C. KDB + Gray to Salah + Ramsey (-4)

    Don't have the funds to do KDB to Salah for free.

  29. gellinmagellan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago
