FFS Cup

FFS Members Cup III – First Round Results

Despite scoring 100 points or more, as many as 12 managers bit the dust in the First Round of the FFS Members Cup. The highest scoring losing entrant was Gustad, who was edged out 108-107 by ff addict. Overall, the highest scoring manager in Round 1 was The Tinkerman, who registered 124 points – that earned him 398th spot in the Gameweek 26 standings.

Mark and Granville both made early exits, though. Mark was knocked out 93-84 by Shiffo, while Granville was sent packing 92-79 by AR Diab – we’ll be keeping an eye on that pair’s progress over the course of the campaign. Behind the scenes, we’re sorting out the draw for the Second Round right now – that should be with you tomorrow:

        My advice with knitting is never do it with tired eyes, as rubbing them can be fatal. 😉

      With no match in GW29 then now would be the best time if there was in fact a good time to sell.

      It all depends who you bring in of course and how you use the extra cash.

        I was pondering Aguero and Suarez, would feel nice to own both. Is the Man Utd blank in GW29 as likely as Everton/Arsenal?

          It's pretty hard to say about the United blank to be honest. There are quite a few factors to take into account that frankly no-one is sure about. Hopefully we'll get confirmation soon.

          What would your team look like if you chose to sell him and what would it look like if you kept him?

            Well I'm thinking of getting Aguero in this week so RVP > Suarez could be the one I'd look at leaving me with a front 8 of Michu,Wally, Mata,Punch, Bale, Aguero, Suarez, Benteke

              I prefer RVP Sturridge Benteke if I'm honest, unless Aguero hits form and show some consistency.

              I do think at the end of the season we will look back and say "I should have sold RVP then" but there have been a few occasions where I've been close and I'm so glad I haven't yet.

                and by "then" I mean a particular week. Not saying it's GW28... or that I even know when that week is. My guess would be around GW37 😉

      Yeah he is always capable. And if qpr score he will definitly be in the mix. His stats are great and going on those alone he should be getting regular big scores.

      The fact that that is not the case is indicative of him playing for a team which is bottom of the league. I personally think he is the best at his price point but you get what you pay for.

            Could be one of those scorelines but for those odds not worth it. less then 2/1 for any of those scores. you'd have to bet big for it to be worth it.

      It's okay if it's a long term transfer. A looks the best to me. Evans should be able to get 2 points, so that's (-2). I'd take it.

    I don't know if I really buy this 'it's only a 2 point hit really' getting a defender in for a player who has a blank. Unless you get really lucky and the defender gets baps or a goal/assist...you're looking at taking a 4 point hit to get a 2 point advantage if they keep a CS.

    It might 'only' be a 2 point but remember that if a defender concedes 2 you're looking at a 3 point hit, and if they get a yellow, you're looking at a full 4 point hit...all things that are not that unlikely with defenders on a given day.

    A 2 point loss is still minus points if they concede a goal. Why bother even trying to gain 2 points from a CS? Is it even worth the hassle?

      I would agree. I personally only take hits for two reasons.

      1) I couldn't afford a player if I did not
      2) I'm going to captain that player if bought in for a hit.

      This rule has generally served me well.

        the second reason is something I also take into account. The two times I have taken hits this season I have captained the player I was eager to get for the hit. I think it sort of justifies the decision because you're saying you are confident they will score very well that GW and doubling it means you're backing that gut feeling.

      I think this is directed to my comment above, yes it does sound negative for the same gameweek, but it saves you an important FT for the next GW too, so that you can have 2 freebies in GW29. And if it's long term, why not go for it now? Everyone has their own reasoning. You have your own.

        Cheers Tinkerman.O'Neill likes him so he'll probably go back in at Bramble's expense. Ideal price, fixtures and a hint of attacking returns. As long as he starts he's going in. Gonna keep Gerrard, Michu, Sturridge and Davies and start with 10. Will have 4 decent players back door GW28. Cautiously quite sure a -4 wouldn't pay itself back. Might take a hit when DGW comes round.

    Long post about Liverpool finishing in the top 4 next season.

    We lack consistnecy, game changers and experience. A few signings should change this. Gutted we missed out on Walcott, he's a great versatile player we could've done with. Nevertheless, Coutinho and Sturridge are positive signings and are showing their class.

    Ins: Begovic, Lovren (CB), Wanyama, Alonso and Turan/Eriksen.

    Outs: Reina (hopefully), Coates, Downing and Assaidi.

    It's going to be hard to sign experience under FSG's age policy but Alonso is a great, realistic signing we could make. I hope the links with Turan/Eriksen only get stronger, but there's a great chance it's BS. Wanyama is a player I would personally love at Liverpool. Might not ease into the first 11, but is young and looking lively. Lovren has been linked with us previously and I can see this one happening the most out of the names I've given. Begovic could be pricey, but he's a great keeper we could sign, especially with Stoke signing Butland.

    ---------------------Begovic---------------

    ----Johnson-----Agger-----------Lovren-------Enrique

    ---------Lucas-----------------------------Gerarrd-------

    ----------------------Coutinho-------------------------

    -----Turan/Erikssen-----Suarez------Sturridge-----

    Kelly, Skrtel, Henderson, Wanyama/Alonso, Shelvey, Allen, Sterling, Borini on the bench

    This squad is one I would love to have. Could realistically finish in the top 4, and push higher once gelled together effectively. Chances of this happening? Low.

    Sorry for this irrelevant comment but it's painful being a Liverpool fan sometimes.

      skrtel is good enough - enrique might be a more pressing issue
      also sturridge will play central striker with suarez behind him and coutinho on the wing.
