The FFS Cup – Sponsored by FanDuel – Fifth Round Draw

With a break in our open to all Fantasy Premier League cup competition during the midweek fixtures, we spend some time this evening to see who has made it through to fifth round, which takes place during Gameweek 17 this coming weekend.

A reminder that, 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 highest scoring manager each round wins a £30 FanDuel credit, with community regular Moin earning this prize after his 65 point Gameweek 15 haul. He next faces msq22 in round five.

The next four highest scoring managers in round four win a £10 FanDuel credit. These will be handed out to Pinky Unites, who scored 63, DJDave1979, who scored 61 along with twobitgooner, and BC1, Bashvilla, Hagop, who all hit the 60 point mark.

The highest placed manager left in the competition is 216 ranked Bacuna Matata, who along with Pink Unites, won a £30 FanDuel voucher for the top highest score back in the third round.

The unfortunate manager to face this early frontrunner to win the competition is lowlifegimpe, who is ranked 337,555.

In a closely fought contest, our only remaining Fantasy Football Scout staff representative, TorresMagic, has made it through to round five, after squeezing past Zambhino10 by just a single point.

The moderator has another tough encounter in store when he takes on Smooth Rossi, who at 6,687 in the overall rankings is more than 7,000 places above him.

Other eye catching ties taking place in round five include Funkyav’s clash with Big Phil Soccer Team and Cobberlsnz taking on Bash Villa, who incidentally sent me packing back in the first round.

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

Good luck to those still involved and if you would like more information on the schedule and prizes click this link.

    Captain Alli against Hull. Madness?

    1. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      very nice differential
      if you are chasing - very interesting

    2. Kip
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Good punt if you are chasing bigtime

    3. Johqvist
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      I'm tempted by Eriksen which seems just as mad. Will probably play it safe ang go Kane though, since i'm chasing in my ML.

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

  2. Kip
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Looking to upgrade 4th mid Allen.

    Would you:

    A)Allen=> Antonio
    B)Allen=> Lallana
    C)Stick and do Allen+Lovren=> Theo+Holebas next gw

    If i go with A or B i'd probably get Daniels for Lovren next week

    1. Moore FPL
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      I did B last week

    2. Profa Benitez
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      If you already have any Liverpool midfielder I would go for Antonio. Otherwise B.

      1. Kip
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        1. Profa Benitez
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Then A

    3. Robert Jarni
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Considering A and B myself, I am going with A

  3. Moore FPL
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    1 FT, 0.1M ITB, G2G?

    Heaton Pickford
    Alonso Walker McCauley (Smith Holebas)
    Sanchez Mane Siggy Lallana (Capoue)
    Costa Kane Defoe

    1. Kip
      • 10 Years

      Top notch

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

      Looks great. Save FT imo. You could use two the upcoming weekend.

      1. Moore FPL
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks guys

  4. FPL Blow-In
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    I do love midweek BPL

    1. RustyBz
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      won't be saying that when half your players are rotated 😆

  5. RustyBz
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Anyone tempted by San(C)hez? Kind of a differential in my ML at the moment, and Everton have collapsed a few times already this season...

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

      I am. but will play it safe with Kane.

  6. Salah Fingers
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Start Lovren or Pieters? Currently have Alonso - Amat - X

    1. tordud
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      I'm pondering the same - currently on Pieters.

  7. RustyBz
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Isn't Yaya Muslim? How can he be caught drink driving?

    18 month ban...

    1. Over Midwicket
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      You can still drink and be a Muslim..

  8. SpaceCadet
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Which two would you bench?

    a. clyne
    b. evans
    c. pieters
    d. amat
    e. holebas

  9. theboijones
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Is this worth a -12pt hit??
    Koscielny + Can + Austin >>> Gabriel + Eriksen + Anichebe

    Or stick with:

    Karius
    Vertonghan Koscielny Barragan Francis
    Can Lallana Hazard Siggy
    Costa Kane

    Subs: Pickford Holebas Capoue Austin

  10. The Tinkerman
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Play one:
    A) Can
    B) Anichebe

    1. Hasselbaink Forever - Defoe…
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Probably Anichebe, tough one though

    2. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      isnt Can a doubt

  11. Doar1986
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Sorry Gents, bottomed

    Do I get Sanchez in now?
    Worried about rotation over the festive period but i can imagine him tearing Everton apart?

    Heaton (Grant)

    Lovren Alonso Barragon ( Smith Amat)

    Hazard Allen Walcott Siggy (De Roon)

    Kane (C) Costa Nacho

  12. Bob_the_builder
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    With the risk of rotation looming large, it is one of the few times that VC selection is equally important.

  13. Johqvist
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Just a friendly reminder to people bringing in Antonio for their juicy fixtures: he's on four yellow cards.

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

      solves the rest/rotation conundrum a bit

  14. Hasselbaink Forever - Defoe…
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Pick 3 to play, playing ABC currently -

    A) Alonso (sun)
    B) Ake (LEI)
    C) Pieters (SOU)
    D) Holebas (mcy)
    E) Amat (wba)

    1. Hakchak
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Seems right to me

    2. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

  22. arkom
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    I asked yesterday here: "is it crazy to captain Eriksen over Kane? I would like to do something differently and surprise my opponent in our league!

    1. arkom
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      And then captain Kane.. Why I listened again to others. I should have trusted my own instincts, byhyy!

    2. BlzE_94
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Should of gone with your gut feeling. If kane smashed it today, you would of sat there quielty taking all of the credit.
