The FFS Cup – Sponsored by FanDuel – Semi-Final Draw

This afternoon we reveal who has made it through to the semi-finals of our open to all Fantasy Premier League Cup competition, which takes place over Gameweek 22.

For this cup competition, 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.

Back on the Horse’s excellent score of 106 earns him a £30 in FanDuel credit’s for the round’s top score. After seeing off David Brains in the quarter final he now squares up to Moin, whose 102 to 85 victory over malvernangells earns him a £10 FanDuel credit.

In terms of overall rank, this first pair of sem-finalists are evenly matched, with Back on the Horse placed at 5,759, while Moin is at 6,395 in the overall standings.

Both also have their second Wildcard, Triple Captain and Bench Boost chips intact and may opt to use one if they fancy prioritising cup commitments.

They also have very similar teams, with Chelsea duo Eden Hazard and Marcos Alonso, Arsenal’s Alexis Sanchez, Spurs striker Harry Kane and Manchester United’s Zlatan Ibrahimovic all potential captaincy candidates. West Ham’s Michail Antonio also features in both squads.

This means that Back on the Horse will be hoping for a strong performance from key differentials Liverpool’s Adam Lallana and West Brom’s Matt Phillips.

While Moin will be relying on Southampton’s Nathan Redmond, who is at home to Leicester City, and Burnley striker Andre Gray, who has a far trickier tie away at Arsenal.

The other semi final sees 28,322 ranked Hazardousblue who defeated Bashvilla, take on A Manager Has No Name, who is 10,000 places ahead of him in the overall standings and saw off Urchin in the quarter finals.

Again the chips are all place for this pair, who both have Kane and Ibrahimovic available as key heavy hitters. Elsewhere, there are a raft of differentials.

A Manager Has No Name will be looking for a good performance from Middlesbrough forward Alvaro Negredo at home to West Ham, as well as Dele Alli away to Manchester City, and key captaincy contender Alexis Sanchez at home to Burnley.

Meanwhile, for Hazardous Blue, a strong showing from Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud, Chelsea schemer Eden Hazard and Palace playmaker Yohan Cabaye will be crucial if he is to prevail. The smart money will be on him captaining Hazard for this encounter.

Hazardous Blue, A Manager Has No Name and malvernangells join Moin in claiming a £10 FanDuel Credit for their high quarter-final scores.

      Na everything Conte said sounded positive.

    Seeing a lot of questions on here; people asking whether to Captain Kane over Sanchez.

    As bad as City defense is - do we really think they will concede more goals than;

    Bur away to Ars
    or even
    Hull away to Che

    Yay or Nay?

      Its all about Haz/Costa, Sanchez or Ibra captaincy right now.

      1. Pep bites Kun
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        I agree with that. But the speculation that City def is so bad that they will concede like a bottom div side is ludicrous. They've been too inconsistent to even begin to speculate - that's my point. (and small rant 🙂

          Bet365 har City as winner tomorrow judging by their odds. I would not captain Kane.

          1. Pep bites Kun
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Me nether - but not too sure I'd trust the odds posted by a betting shop either as they 'rack rate' their odds 🙂

          2. Pep bites Kun
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            I prob should add - I rate City tomorrow for 3. I don't think it'll be an upset either. They're bound to bounce back - enough talent and 1 week to polish it.

    Front 8 currently:

    Sanchez Eriksen Firmino Pogba Capoue

    Rondon Ibra Stuani

    Would you
    A) Transfer Pogba - Philips to free up cash for Rondon to Giroud (4pt hit).

    B) Pogba - Philips and wait.

    C) nothing/something else?

    Any help much appreciated.
