The FFS Cup – Sponsored by FanDuel – Sixth Round Draw

This evening we reveal who has made it through to Gameweek 18’s sixth round fixtures of our open to all Fantasy Premier League cup competition.

For this 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 will win a £30 FanDuel credit, with Big Phil Soccer Team winning that accolade after defeating Funkyav 74 to 51.

He squares up to the FFScout moderator and contributor crew’s last remaining representative, TorresMagic, in what looks like being one of the last 32’s toughest clashes. Just under 10,000 places in the overall rankings separates this pair.

The next highest scoring managers in round five, Tutankhamun, Real Sociopath, Moin, DillyDingDillyDongFC and A Manager Has No Name all win a £10 FanDuel credit.

Among this group DillyDingDillyDongFC will be a favourite to progress, as his rank of 7,316 makes him the highest placed manager left in the competition.

He faces one of the competition’s lowest ranked managers, Space Cadete, who is positioned at 1,033,108 in the overall standings.

Other eye catching community regular ties in round six include Bashvilla’s match with Pinky Unites and The Shoe Makers fixture against Back on the Horse.

The fifth round results can be found via this link, while the full sixth 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.

    How much was Suarez in his final Pool year on FPL?

    1. Big Red Dog
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      didnt reach 14 but pretty sure he was over 13 at some point

    2. The Big Fella
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Often wondered this. Can't remember

  2. Colonel Klink
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Origi to keep going a couple weeks, at least, no?

    1. Get up ya bum
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Don't see why not. Even when cout returns we have a mane shaped hole to fill somehow

      1. Colonel Klink
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Been making me think that Wijnaldum might be a good get after New Years.

        1. Get up ya bum
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Could be a good sneaky one. I have him in my draft team and yet to find a reason to drop him.
          Dunno though, there's many ways klopp could play it.

          1. Colonel Klink
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Would you rather Herrera or Wij in draft team?

            1. Get up ya bum
              • 14 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              Tricky. Wij has the bigger scoring potential I think but Herrera's starting spot is more secure. I prefer Wij but depends what you need

              1. Colonel Klink
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 10 Years
                7 years, 4 months ago

                Cheers. Herrera is more dependable, but as you say, Wij is more the goal scorer. Maybe sacrifice Redmond?

                1. Get up ya bum
                  • 14 Years
                  7 years, 4 months ago

                  I'd actually rather keep redmond tbh. Jesus below however has a much higher potential upside than all of them

    2. SC not pearls before swine
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Could be rotated with the 3 matches in a week but that could happen to anybody.

  3. Canary_Kid
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Heaton (Pick)
    Walker Alonso Holebas (Pieters McAuley)
    Mane Sanchez Siggy Eriksen (Capoue)
    Origi Llorente (Costa) 2 FT .1 ITB

    Thinking of Llorente + Costa + Eriksen > Wally + Ibra + Negredo
    Any other suggestions?
    Thanks!

  4. Rhinos
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Every man and his dog has done either Kane or Costa to Ibra but anyone thinking of doing Ibra to Costa straight back? i know Ibra fixtures excellent but he could be rested and Midd wont be pushovers anyway, Costa utterly nailed and arguably the best player in the league right now, im really tempted, will make a few bob on the move too

    1. Scratch
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Thinking of Kane -> Costa

      1. Rhinos
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        thats an easier decision though. Id be losing Ibra after one match

      2. noquarternt
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Definitely this.

    2. Get up ya bum
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      kane to costa is the plan. Costa Ibra Benteke front line

      1. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        That's front 3 I want but need 1.million saving elsewhere which is a pain!

        1. Get up ya bum
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          The bonus of getting benteke waaaaay too early 😛

    3. dcarlito
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Did Kane to Ibra. Benching Costa, he's a season keeper for me. Also got him early so would be difficult getting back.

    4. Hurricane Gilbert
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Ibra won't be rested. Physical monster.

  5. Scratch
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    A bit spoiled for choice this week. Do I play

    Foster away to Arsenal
    or
    Pickford away to United

    1. Rhinos
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      foster, arsenal have a pen miss in them, ibra will bury it

      1. SC not pearls before swine
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Who takes penalties for arsenal when Cazorla/Giroud aren't on the field? Sanchez get another crack at it? Not sure whether I want that or not...

        1. Rhinos
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          think its wally although girould may start anyway for his physicality against brom

          1. SC not pearls before swine
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            true. Wally missed one earlier this year too. Guess maybe ozil could take a crack at it.

            1. Rhinos
              • 10 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              Costa yellow sooooooo good for us non owners, dont have to deal with the suspension and can get him back .3 cheaper. Cheers lad

    2. Chris_White
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Pickford. Save points.

      1. dcarlito
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        This.

    3. alangreat
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      same dilemma, currently on pickford....

    4. InSaneMan-e
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Ouch. Now that's being stuck between a rock and a hard place

    5. Get up ya bum
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      lol

  6. Colonel Klink
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    When Mkhi returns, who exits? Rooney, Herrera?

    1. Dušan Citizen
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Great Britain

    2. dark91
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I would say Lingard

      1. Colonel Klink
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I would think Martial, Rashford or Mata would oust Lingard.

  7. Colonel Klink
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Will West Brom or Everton defenders keep more clean sheets til end of season. Strange seeing them side by side in league table.

    1. Hurricane Gilbert
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Probably Everton tbf. WBA is more attacking this year.

      1. Colonel Klink
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Cheers. WBA are a hard team to figure out right now.

    2. noquarternt
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Tricky one to predict, on current form Everton probably. But if you're looking for a defender from either- Brunty baby.

  8. _Ninja_
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Pieters to Jones worth -4 with the fixtures coming up?

    Heaton
    Walker Holebas Amat
    Hazard Sanchez Eriksen Siggy Allen
    Ibra Origi

    Pickford Costa Evans Pieters

    1. Hurricane Gilbert
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Now it seems VLN is on his way in. Adds to the insecurity of the preferred United CB pair.

    2. Colonel Klink
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Maybe. Is Evans definitely out?

  9. Knowledgeable meerkat
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Been a couple of long days at work, just got back and have seen that hazard is flagged? Any info on why this is would be fab (sorry if it's been said 100 times already)

    1. Get up ya bum
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Geez you must be the least knowledgeable meerkat I've met 🙄
      Same knock that didn't keep him out last week apparently.

      1. Knowledgeable meerkat

        What about Timone ? . I asked him if Hazard was fit and he burst into song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xB5ceAruYrI 😡

        1. Get up ya bum
          • 14 Years

          😆 yeah he's pretty useless too. I asked this guy and he tried to sell me insurance 🙄 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0mXUC0cUPg

            😆 . What about John Terry's Dog this was his reply https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAy0lkB00JE 😡

            1. Get up ya bum
              • 14 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              I laughed way too much at this one!

    2. Rhinos
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      small issue apparently so kept back whilst others have been given time off. Sure he'll be fine

    3. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Hazard is still undergoing treatment on the knee injury sustained from a kick he received against West Bromwich Albion earlier this month.

      Thanks folks

  10. Mooster©️

    7 years, 4 months ago

    what to do??
    walker - cedric - smith (amat, kingsley)
    sanchez-antonio-lallana-siggy-hazard
    ibra-anichebe(costa)
    2,6 in the bank
    already did kane->ibra
    would you take some hits? defense? anichebe->?
    help!

    1. Hurricane Gilbert
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Yes. Kingsley to Alonso. Chelsea defender is too good to miss out on.

      1. Mooster©️
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        you probably right. kingsley not playing. but cedric is annoying too...
        and anichebe, doing nothing ....

    2. Colonel Klink
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I have Cedric. He has done nothing for me yet, really, plus rotation.

      1. Mooster©️
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        same for me, took a -4 to get him in. earned me 2 points in total so far...... cedric->alonzo?

        1. Colonel Klink
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          I also took that hit. I think that would be a good move, but Cedric still should pan out, right? I sound too desperate there, don't I?

          1. Mooster©️
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            i'm not so sure.. maybe a CS or two in the next 10 gw's. overrated fpl player I think.... not my best buy

          2. FPLtfs
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Cedric still a good option imo. Got rested because he was ill, no? And Southampton has good fixtures for the forseeable future. Would keep him.

            1. Mooster©️
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 7 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              ok, I will listen to this. Kingsley to Alonso then instead?

              1. FPLtfs
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 7 Years
                7 years, 4 months ago

                Definitely. Your defence needs an upgrade, and its the perfect time to get rid of dead meat now before the festive period

                1. Mooster©️

    3. The Big Fella
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Chelsea defence

  11. Hurricane Gilbert
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Have to react and solve my crisis with currently no Chelsea defender. Which of these options do you prefer?

    A) Alonso, Brunt, Coutinho, Walcott, Origi (or Rondon)

    B) Alonso, Walker, Brunt, Coutinho, Phillips, Origi (or Negredo)

    C) Alonso, Walker, Coutinho, Walcott, Phillips

            I'm confused. B has 6 players, A and C have 5 players

            1. Hurricane Gilbert
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              Sorry C has Diomande, and A has Evans. Will change that until next time 😉

                • 7 Years

    4. kalmoffit

      B with Origi

        B as brilliant cheers mate

  12. Lizard Lips

    Heaton
    Alonso Vertonghen Holebas Friend
    Sanchez (vc) Hazard Eriksen Siggy
    Kane Zlatan (c)
    [Subs: Pickford, Anichibe, Evans, Fletcher]

    Got 1FT. Anything you would do here?

    I'm tempted to do Vertonghen and Eriksen to Azpil and Theo for a hit.

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Is Vert injured? I'd play him against Southampton if not. But Azpi is almost a captain option these days.

  13. kalmoffit
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Evans to Jones seems like a sensible move.
    Anichebe to Origi and play AOA instead?

    1. Hurricane Gilbert
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Hold that Jones move. I smell rotation because he is an injury prone player. And VLN is on his way to United early in january it seems.

      1. kalmoffit
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I do think Jones could soon be out. Origi too could have a short shelf life.

        1. Colonel Klink
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Rojo more secure?

          1. Hurricane Gilbert
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Not sure.

          2. kalmoffit
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            I doubt it. Bailly/Jones or Bailly/Smalling is my guess

      2. Colonel Klink
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Not getting VLN--who dat?

        1. Hurricane Gilbert
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Victor Nilsson Lindelof from Benfica. Young swedish guy nailed on in a CL-team. Talented. Don't know if he will take a spot instantly though.

          1. Colonel Klink
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years

            Hm. Thanks for the heads up.

  14. Lizard Lips

    If in a draft league, how early would you bring in Gabriel Jesus? He will be eased in, but once he shows, someone will snap him up. Already on the waiver wire...

    1. Get up ya bum
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      You have to get him straight away. Not available yet in my league, I've been on the lookout

      1. Colonel Klink
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I just picked up Slimani, but Jesus is coming?

        1. Get up ya bum
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Damn some real quality on your waiver wire. Try and get into knocks and niggles next season for a real challenge. Real slim pickings on the waiver wire

          1. Colonel Klink
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            I've been dying for a playing forward--there were none until someone stupidly dropped Slimani. I don't know why, maybe ACON (league transfers frozen for month of Jan).

            1. Get up ya bum
              • 14 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              Slimani a brilliant pickup. Carry him through acon, no biggie.

                That restricts the options. Maybe we can work around the fringes. I've all of a sudden got a lot of strikers anyway

      1. Get up ya bum

        Hard to say with Pep but certainly big competition for aguero

    3. noquarternt

      Wouldn't get him at all. Get someone who is likely to play 90 mins every week.

    So after costa ban is over do we think he will start rising in price straight away?

    I'm thinking keep Kane if he scores this week and Watford next and hopefully buy costa back at 10.7

    Costa yellow sooooooo good for us non owners, dont have to deal with the suspension and can buy him for gw19 .3 cheaper. Cheers lad

    1. Colonel Klink
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Riht, but I still can't believe he used to be 9.5. One of the biggest mistakes I've made, not getting him.

    2. Chris_White
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Lol @ Costa non-owners

    3. kalmoffit
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      And sell him again for wk20 Spurs away.

    4. jia you
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      0.3 cheaper, most have made more than that on him and got his points so happy to bench. But yes good for players who planned to get him in.
      What I can't understand on here are the players who are thinking about selling him (or have sold him) for huge losses just for one week, blows my mind!

      1. Big Red Dog
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        True, obviously depends how cheap they got him tho

        1. jia you
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          but selling just for one week to by him back the next is just crazy. A couple of posters on here bought him at 9.6/9.7 and were considering this!

    5. Big Red Dog
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Havent had him all season and am at 200k. The reason I hve dropped 160k in the last 3 or 4 weeks. God damn yellow card put me off

      1. Rhinos
        • 10 Years

        me neither but only coz have had haz all season

    Hey guys,

    What would you do with this bunch, please? 1 FT, 0.4 ITB.

    Boruc
    Ogbonna - Jones - Stones
    Sanchez- Firmino - Hazard - Zaha
    Carroll - Kane - Ibra

    Pickford - Capoue - Amat - Kone

    Stones high on my firing line. Tempted with a cheeky United double up with Stones - Rojo, but the likes of Firmino and Kane are hardly free from the axe, I realise.

    Thanks for any help at all 🙂

    1. Big Red Dog
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Would do one of Boruc to Heaton, Ogbonna or Stones to Gibson or Cedric.

    3. noquarternt

      Never had the bottle to do things like that, scared of being laughed at. But imagine capping Alonso/Azpilicueta for the last few game weeks.

    1) What do I do? I'm not getting any points at the moment.
    2) Am I right to leave Costa on the bench and play Amat?
    3) play Pickford or grant?

    My team at the moment:
    Grant
    Walker Cedric Holebas Amat
    Sanchez Hazard Eriksen Siggy
    Ibra(c) Defoe

    Pickford; Fletcher, Evans, Costa

          gtg then. Stick with grant

    2. kalmoffit
      • 10 Years

      From what I heard about Amat's weekend you might need to check who you have coming in for him.

    3. FPLtfs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      1. Your team looks fine, point will come
      2. Yes, avoid hit imo.
      3. Grant - because it will make Pool v Stoke more exciting for you on the 27th 😉

    Top 5 HOF GW18 so far

    Hope you find this interesting - even the top 5 from the career HOF aren't doing that great...

    career HOF rank / squad value / ITB / transfers made so far this gw / current FPL rank /
    #1 / 102.2 / 1.7 / 1 / 109,703

    #4 / 102.9 / 1.6 / 1 / 845,911
    #5 / 104.5 / 0.1 / 2 / 16,483

    - lowest rank in the last 3 seasons for any of the top 5 is 4,324
    - highest rank in the last 3 seasons for any of the top 5 is 49

    GW17 moves

    *(c) GW17: Kane x3, Eriksen, Costa
    *all made at least 1 transfer with one team taking a hit and making 2 transfers
    *players in: Eriksen x2, Jones x2, Origi, Lallana
    *players out: Firmino, Iheanacho, Pedro, Antonio, Evans, Stones

    *players in all 5 teams: Kane, Costa, Sanchez
    *players in 4 out of 5 teams: Eriksen, Sigurdsson, Alonso, Amat
    *players in 3 out of 5 teams: Hazard, Lovren, Foster, Heaton, Pickford
    *all have a 3-4-3 formation
    *3rd strikers: Anichebe x2, Benteke, Origi, Rondon

    career HOF rank / squad value / ITB / FPL rank Saturday midday / (previous GW rank)

    #5 / 104.6 / 0.1 / 14,410 / (24,911)

    Hopefully some reassuring news for a few people, one last thing I noticed is that Firmino is now in only one team and 3 of the 5 teams have no Liverpool attacking players at all! Make of that what you will.

    1. Get up ya bum

      4 out of the 5 are doing brilliantly.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        None are in the top 10K, I wouldn't say brilliantly. They seemed quite normal to me. It is a tricky season so far

        1. Get up ya bum
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          It's only halfway. Four of them are well on track for their usual finishes

    2. Rhinos
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      i wouldnt expect the hofs to be doing well, so many options this season that finding a sample of any 5 people getting them right is gonna be tricky

      1. Get up ya bum
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Yet they are. Everything to play for for 4 of them.

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      4 of those probably crack top 10K at end of season.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 11 Years

        Still hope for those of us with similar ranks, no need to panic yet!

        1. Get up ya bum
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Seriously if you have a similar rank at this stage, ie top 100k. It should be the opposite of panic. I'm starting to get a bit worried having slipped down to 500k 🙁

          1. TopMarx
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            I dropped out of the top 100k this week, but I guess my point is that I always imagined the top 5 HOF would be consistently near/in the top 10k especially as none of them have finished below 4,324 in the past 3 seasons. That's not the case. Given their incredible track record I thought it would be instructive to look at what moves they are making, perhaps more so than looking at trends for the current top 10k given where the HOF are likely to finish. Although I do appreciate I'm only looking at 5 fpl managers, albeit the 5 best over recent seasons.

            I think it is interesting that this week they all made an early transfer, and looking at the SV and ITB amounts I'm guessing Costa to Ibra has been a popular move. We shall find out on Saturday...

    Only problem with me getting Costa is i cant see me ever captaining him over Hazard. Mmmmmmmmm cold water maybe poured on that idea then

    1. Get up ya bum
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Really? Why? I'm more inclined to the reverse.

      1. Rhinos
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        pens, goals worth 1pt more, cs point will be regular, more explosive

        1. Get up ya bum
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Fair points on the first 3. Hazard has never been an explosive scorer though apart from that small run this season. Mr consistent.

          1. Rhinos
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            i got 38 points off him the other week so maybe im biased. Kickstarted my season

  26. dark91

    Firmino dropping like this is really good for us Mane owners who would want a Liverpool replacement when he leaves to AFCON

    1. Rhinos
      • 10 Years

      coutinho way ahead of firm

      1. dark91
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I don't see him getting 100% back to his form pre-injury, he will need time

        1. Rhinos
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          dont see why not, not that bad an injury

          1. Rhinos
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            plus the way Firmino been playing lately a one legged Coutinho could still be better

            Injury effect is one thing, and Mane's departure might mean new/different roles for Coutinho

      Really good for everyone if he can find some form again, and he actually looked better agains Everton. Coutinho has dropped a lot too, if you want to replace Mane.

        I think it is just a matter of time till he starts securing points, and as for Coutinho i would need to see how he returns before i get him

      Close call. 98.6 on fplstat and still missing some transfers, but ffix says yes.

    Really enjoyed the scoutcast tonight.

    Granville makes a big difference to the show. He challenges Mark's team, Mark hits back and the ensuing debate reveals a hidden layer of FPL thinking.

    And Jonty's PPM data on Chelsea was a real eye opener. I really want to show Hazard the door now ... if only he didn't have those 2 plum home fixtures.

    Andy has also kinda convinced me to captain Sanchez at the end there, as well.

        It's a good 'un. The 4 Musketeers were in fine form.
