FFS Cup

The FFS Cup – Sponsored by FanDuel – Second Round Draw

This evening we roll out the second round draw of the 13th instalment of our open to all Fantasy Premier League cup competition.

For this latest contest, there are more than £1,000 worth of prizes for UK based entrants courtesy of our partner FanDuel, as well as £350 in Amazon vouchers to the top three managers at the end of the competition.

In addition, the top scoring manager for each round will receive £30 FanDuel credit, with £10 FanDuel credit for the next four best scores.

Among our former winners, last year’s victor I Casillas Winning overcame Sticky Toffee Pudding, 66 to 49. He takes on Tufs, who is ranked more than 600,000 places below him.

Meanwhile, moderator and contributor Stilicho knocked out another former champ Wild Rover and goes on to face Tinyswede in the next round.

Mark and I, also crashed out to end our dreams of a second title, to Buzzedagain and Bash Villa respectively.

Former champ Gribude faired better, overcoming Optimus Clyne, as did Ninja Fit Saints, who stays in the race to become the first to win twice by beating R32omon.

While Gribude’s next opponent Allgonepozzo is ranked just 8,721 places behind him, Ninja Fit Saints has a far tougher test, taking on Jurgen, who is ranked 486,634 places higher.

MCH is another winner to progress, after seeing off Sporting to set up a second round clash with Shem Bayley.

JazzyJ87’s score of 79 sees him win the £30 FanDuel voucher for the highest score of the round.

The four managers to win a £10 FanDuel voucher for having the next highest scores were Pipermaru, galactijoe, Schmeichel Sea and Jinkys Oars.

Another manager to look out for is Pink Unites, who beat 2012/13 FPL champion Tom Fenley 49 to 27. He faces Shanev13 in round two.

Elsewhere, the only Scoutcast regular to go through to round two, Andy85wsm, will be squaring up to Lardy, who is 600,000 places above him in the overall rankings.

Other notable second round match ups include applebonkers’ clash with Back to Back Ballacks and mikeharbrw’s encounter with The Normal One.

The highest ranked manager left in the competition is Simonsimondock, who is currently 211th in the world. Sigfried Sassoon, who is ranked just inside the top 500,000, has the dubious honour of facing him in round two.

The first round results can be found via this link, while the full second round draw can be found here.

    The re emergence of Giroud makes me think I need to ship 1-2 of Wally/Sanchez. Best option here?

    A)
    GW13: Wally & Defoe -> Anichebe & Haz
    GW14: TBC

    B)
    GW13: Sanchez -> Haz
    GW14: Wally & Defoe -> Philips & Kane

    Cech
    Clyne, Stones, Amat
    Sanchez, Cout, Firm, Wally
    Aguero, Defoe, Austin

    Pickford, Capoue, Collins, Kone
    Bank 0.1m, 2FTs

      Nice copy/paste 😉

      1. Easy Street

        7 years, 5 months ago

        I dont like either of those options btw.

        1. Jinswick
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Don't fancy Haz & Kane to do well?

          1. Easy Street
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            Yes but not at the expense of Alexis/Theo

    2. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Both options are terrible imo

      1. Jinswick
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        constructive

        1. La Roja
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Honest

        2. Easy Street
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          You love a RMT dontcha Jins 😉

    3. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 9 Years

      Keep Sanchez for this week

    4. Bolivian Seaman
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Difficult to get Kane and Hazard in that situation

      1. Jinswick
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Little worried as a Wally/Sanchez owner.

        Wally has to be considered a rotation risk again and with sanchez out wide and ARS not playing very well he's starting to look expensive...

        1. Bolivian Seaman
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          arsenal have such good fixtures, i've kept walcott I think he starts most games. Sanchez is expensive

  2. StoichkovFPL
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    when I look at Gunners today (1 shot) I'm not sure if that tactic is good and if Gru will start vs Bou

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      PSG was always going to be a tough game compared to Bournemouth

    2. Worzel Gummidge
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Not sure why Arsenal playing rubbish has anything to do with Gru or if he will start or not. Sanchez, Ozil and Ramsey have been running about like headless chickens. They have been far worse.

    3. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Is this worth -8 hit?

      Lukaku Redmond Mustafi ➡ Gru Coutinho Vvd

      1. Easy Street
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Definitely not.

        1. La Roja
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Thought so

      2. Buck The Trent
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        I'd do it.....Cout, VVD are long term investments

    4. Scotty B
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Is Lukaku > Giroud a good transfer this week if I already have Kane & Aguero?

      1. The Nuttman
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Could be indeed.

        Wow. Get in my team.

        1. Licious Lizard
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Having the exact opposite reaction.

        2. Ibracadabra
          • 14 Years

          lol that success rate will return to the norm unfortunately...

    6. Greenbackbøøg…

      Very sneaky Sanchez extending his foot to get fouled https://my.mixtape.moe/bdqzjd.mp4

      1. Bolivian Seaman
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah definitely played for it

      2. Easy Street
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Everybody does it. If i were sanchez i would have done exactly the same. PSG antics are terrible too.

        1. Greenbackbøøg…
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          I wouldn't

    7. Heavy Data
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Dam i am soo tempted to do ditch Aguero and Sanchez for KDB and Giroud. It would leave me with 0.1itb and give me enough funds to upgrade Anichebe to Costa. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

      1. StoichkovFPL
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        chill

      2. Greenbackbøøg…
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        I would definitely do Aguero Sanchez Ani > KDB Giroud Costa

        1. Heavy Data
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          It is very tempting i have to admit. Ive already made two transfers this week, which is the only thing putting me off doing it. Dont really fancy dropping 16 points this week.

          1. Greenbackbøøg…
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            Fair enough

        2. StoichkovFPL
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          remember that Kun has Burnley, Sanchez has Bou and Costa has spurs, Giroud is not nailed? And it would be for a hit too.

      3. Smurf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Why get rid of Anichebe after only just getting him in?

        1. Heavy Data
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Ive had him a couple of weeks. I play 3-5-2 so he just sits on my bench but with some of the fixtures coming up im looking at going 3-4-3

    8. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      How's gundog looking? Reckon he'll be out for yaya at the weekend?

    9. El-Kloppico
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Ohhh.. 0.1 short of doing Kun + Bolasie >> Gru + KdB :'(

      1. Konstaapeli
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Ouch. It's always the 0.1 innit.

      Stindl red card

    12. ★Kuntheman★
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      RC Stindl! Deserved it. Been fouling everyone.

      1. Bolivian Seaman
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        I would never have seen that if I was the ref

    13. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Aguero Allen ➡ KDB Gru

      -4

      Yay or nay?

      1. IWR
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Probably

      2. Smurf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Nay.

        Gru has done nothing before the pen.

        1. La Roja
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Gru has done nothing?

          He has 10 shots on target overall and 9 goals

          1. StoichkovFPL
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            in last 20 Ars games?

          2. Smurf
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            I'm talking about this game.

            1. La Roja
              • 12 Years
              7 years, 5 months ago

              Do you think I am making decision based on this game?

              1. Smurf
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 14 Years
                7 years, 5 months ago

                Well seems a knee jerk either way getting in a player who hasn't been starting in the PL and losing the best striker in their league.

                1. La Roja
                  • 12 Years
                  7 years, 5 months ago

                  Now you have a fair point

        2. Slam
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Neither had any other Arsenal player tbf

      3. Easy Street
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Lol no

        1. La Roja
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Why not?

          1. Easy Street
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            I just don't even consider losing Aguero, but that's just me..

      4. Slam
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Yes

    14. shirtless
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Just seen I lost my cup tie on rank...tied on 39! The chance of that!

    15. OptimusBlack
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      How's Aguero Playing ?

    16. IWR
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Is Ozil and Lukaku to Cout and Kane worthy of a double hit? Funds are tightish with prices rising and dropping for Lukaku.

    17. tm245
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Just started watching Arsenal PSG, how was the first half?

      1. Bolivian Seaman
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        slow, psg had a lot of possession, not much happening for arsenal

        1. tm245
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Cheers. Just saw that it was a PK in stoppage time for the equalizer.

      2. Smurf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Ramsey makes it very dull. He breaks up Arsenals play better than Veratti and Motta.

    18. JIM BOB
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      How old is Lucas Moura?

      He looks about 40

      1. Easy Street
        • 7 Years

        Obafeme Martins' long-lost brother.

      Ospina statuesque.

    20. Heavy Data
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      From what i recall last season when Giroud played and Sanchez played out wide, Sanchez didnt really score that many points. Am i remembering correctly? I distinctly remember being high most of last season.

      1. Smurf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        You must have been high.

        It's a myth that Sanchez scores poorly from out wide and isn't worth the money. He's scored a fair fee hat tricks from out wide. He's played the majority of his Arsenal games out wide and has clearly produced the goods.

        1. Heavy Data
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Good to know. I only started following football last season when i started playing fantasy football with the guys in work. So id say 90% of what i know ive read on here.

          1. Konstaapeli
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            Thats some heavy data 😀

      2. Bolivian Seaman
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        He was massively explosive, when he came back after christmas he was slow and injured so he just got loads of 2s but did well towards the end of the season

    21. andymck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Pickford / Marshall
      Vertonghen / Williams / Holebas / Evans / Amat
      Hazard / Coutinho / Firmino / Son / Fletcher
      Aguero / Lukaku / Son

      1 ft and 1.3 itb so Lukaku > Costa? Would rather do it before price changes tonight.

      1. andymck
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years

        Austin instead of Son upfront oops

    28. FPL Virgin

      Are Walcott owners worried about him not starting tonight or happy that he is being rested?

      1. Konstaapeli
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Happy. (As long we steal a win.)

    29. Clickzy
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Lukaku & Allen out for Austin & Siggy worth a -4?

    30. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      • 14 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      10-10 men each.
