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

Hey folks

I have 1 FT and £1.3m in the bank.

Begovic, Ruddy

Nelsen, Enrique, Demel, Cuellar, Gorkks

Mata, Michu, Bale, Yaya Toure, Sterling

RVP, Aguero, Berbatov

Was thinking of bringing in Walcott for Yaya Toure?

Or just upgrade Gorkks to Sagna?!

Thoughts please?
Thank you!!

  I like Wallcott for Yaya, but dont think you will be able to field 3 defenders if you do that. Maybe Nelsen to Davies and next week wallcott for Yaya ?

Good gameweek, up to 22,000th, my highest position yet. However, I’ve got a few stokes in the fire and don’t know how to handle them. Never have I needed advice more than now!

Begovic, Jaaskelainen – these two are fine
Baines*, Hughes*, Cuellar, Mertesacker, Nelsen
Silva*, Mata, Michu, Sterling*, Puncheon
van Persie, Suarez, Berbatov

2FT and 0.1 in the bank.

What would YOU do?
