The draw for the first round of the 2019/20 FFS Cup

FFS Cup December 27

FFS Paddy Power Cup – Quarter Final Draw

The Paddy Power Cup has reached the Quarter-Final stages and with our final eight now having qualified for the Fantasy Football Scout Shield at the end of the season, they turn their attentions to their next opponent, on the trail of cup glory.

Former Fantasy Premier League leader Iyad Zahlan and his side, Giavara555, was the name that everyone wanted to avoid but it’s MileHigh who gets the “privilege” of that particular match-up. The sure-fire certainty for the televised tie, MileHigh goes into the weekend sitting in 224 position in the world, just 218 spots behind Iyad, and will fancy his chances of a giant-killing, having enjoyed another climb in Gameweek 19.

JMS was the other high ranked manager in the draw. Now sitting 149th in the world, he will face Mr.KK in last eight, with “ange1range1” taking on “Ricky Smokes lets go” and “Wild Rover” facing “Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad” in a stormy community head-to-head battle.

All ties will be played out over Gameweek 20 this weekend. Good luck to all involved.

1	ange1range1	Vs.	Ricky Smokes lets go
2	JMS	Vs.	Mr.KK
3	Wild rover	Vs.	Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
4	Giavara555	Vs.	MileHigh

Hi all

My defence is on the ropes...

Guzan (Tremmel)
Davies Nastasic Clyne (Gorkks) (Shorey)

I'm surviving on those 3 starting defenders at the moment. Can anyone see a change that's worth a hit there? Or should I just leave it again this week. I have a mil to spend. Thanks.

    yeah that is probably the only one that is worth a hit. guaranteed started and a DGW coming up means you should get your 4 points back and will help if mancini decides to drop nastasic.

Morning lads (apologies for the repost)

Any of these transfer combos worth a 4pts hit?

A question that is surely on a lot of peoples mind:

do you wild card before or after the DGW?

some considerations:
1 - both WHM and ARS have good fixtures before AND after the dgw (thou WHM better)
2 - are there teams that have a very clear great run of fixtures that will make you want to load up in a wildcard?
3 - January transfer window will surely shake things up at some key teams (liverpool/arsenal/chelsie/newc for the very least - and imagine a team like villa or fullham acquiring an unhappy siggy for example)
4 - price changes potential
5 - ML tactics - WC early and you revealed your hand

opinions?

  After. Take hits before it to build up your team full of 'em and use the WC after to fix your team. Simples.

    but how much clearing is really needed?
    WHM fixtures are great and arsenal is not bad either - would you risk bringing players early and them injured/rotated or woudl you just shoot all eth changes on teh week before to make sure you pick teh in form playing players?

  11 years, 4 months ago
  I think it's because he is considered past his best like Lampard and Suarez was doing everything up until a few matches ago. There's a lot of plus points (he takes pens, he likes to shoot on sight) but his price tag makes it hard to buy him. If he was 7.5/8.0 he'd be in most teams like Yaya is. He's way better than Yaya as a choice.

Getting rid of Baines is a weight off my shoulders. He just hasn't been producing so I brought in Sagna for him and got Yaya out for Bale all for no hits. I now have this team pretty happyjust need to downgrade Snodgrass.

Bego - Federici
Nelsen - Cameron - Sagna - Clyne - Cuellar
Bale - Michu - Mata - Snodgrass - Walcott
Berbatov - Tevez - RVP

  Michu is owned by a lot of people so that will come down to the bench in most cases. So maybe it's two doubts of real concern 🙂

afternoon all

I can survive the next week with no changes but wondering if I should dump Sterling and Suarez for Bale and Hernadez/Berba for a 4ph

Here's the current team:
Jussi, Bego
O'Brien, Mertes, Riise, Cuellar, Gorkss
Michu, Sterling, Carloza, Pienaar, Sess
RVP, Defoe, Suarez

OPtions:
1. Suarez ----> Berba/Hernadez
2. Suarez + Sterling----> Bale + Hernandez/Berba
3. Nothing

Certainly would like Bale/Defoe for Reading but think the best option might be nothing this week. Sunderland are looking much better atm.

Any thoughts?

Thinking about dropping Morrison to the bench. His been a shock move no points at all over the weeks i've had him whilst Pienaar has been raking in the points.

Anyways i'm thinking of playing Noble this week or maybe swapping Morrison for Nolan, or should i sort out my defence first?

Trem, Bego
