FFS Cup

FFS Cups – Results and Fourth Round Draws

Ahead of this weekend’s fourth round stage of our two Premier League cup competitions, we look back at the events of the previous clashes and some of the most eye-catching match-ups.

Mark is now the only surviving former winner in our open to all cup after seeing off tkmlim 72-65 in round three. He next faces What Divock?!, who defeated reigning champion A Manager Has No Name.

Joining him through the exit door is Wild Rover, who was crushed 90-70 by the contest’s highest-ranked manager 50th-placed pitstop1.

The unlucky boss to next face pitstop1 is The Shaman, who is ranked just 373,401.

Another former winner to fall was Donnellyc, who was dispatched by Who Divock Is Origi.

Joining Mark as other representatives of our live Hall of Fame top ten in the next round are Dronny Imp (aka David Meechan), whose score of 92 was enough to beat Jurgen Can Karius and set himself up a match against Quinntessentials.

Another elite manager to prevail is My Pretty Pony (aka Peter Kouewenberg), who scored 89 in his victory over Prophet and next takes on Donnellyc’s conqueror Who Divock Is Origi

The full fourth round draw can be found here.

In our Members Cup Fenghh, who beat former winner Trigg in round two, makes it through to the fourth round after defeating 2,208-ranked christian steinbauer.

But things do not get any easier for our 36,596-placed giant killer as he now faces the competition’s top-ranked manager Hana, who is 170th in the world.

Elsewhere in the round four draw, community regulars RoysCallerAnne and Dr Ennet face each other, with the former’s 829 rank making him the favourite over his 19,528-placed opponent.

There will also be a community writers derby when Career Hall of Fame analyst TopMarx takes on Kryten, who has written extensively on bandwagons and the effect of European cup involvement on Premier League teams. With a rank of 13,069, compared to Kryten’s placing of 27,609, TopMarx is the slight favourite for this battle of the scribes.

The full fourth round draw can be found here.

There is £350 in Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk vouchers up for grabs for the final top three managers in both tournaments.

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

    Anyone else considering Lukaku > Benteke and upgrade to a United mid in 34?

    1. GoonerByron
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      I would ideally do this, but can't see it's worth it for hits when I have decent players in those positions

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Fair point. Easier if you've got a 5th mid fodder you can upgrade.

        Both Palace and United have excellent fixtures in 35 as well to along with the DGW. Lukaku vs Chelsea is a clear blank. So I'm definitely leaning towards selling him after this GW.

    2. The Nuttman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Not personally, Lukaku going for Golden Boot and Palace midfield better than Benteke and way cheaper.

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        1 return in the last 7 for Lukaku away. His points generally come at home against weak opposition. Neither of his GW34 nor 35 fixture fit that bill.

        1. The Nuttman
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          I think 8 Away goals is o.k so not worried by 34, accept Chelsea at home is tough.

          Would you not prefer Zaha or Townsend over Benteke even if you worried over Lukaku though?

          1. Team Cruel
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 11 months ago

            I've already got Zaha. Considering two, maybe even all three. Cheap, seemingly fixture proof, in good form. And then get rid on GW36 WC.

  2. Sz21
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    A save this GW then I think.
    Only BB + AOA left amongst the chips for me though.

    Hope things will be ok with this lot.
    What would u be looking at next?

    Pickford.
    Bailly, Davies, Holgate.
    Alli(vc), Sanchez, Hazard, Zaha.
    Kane(c), Aguero, Origi.

    Valdes, Yoshida, Gibson, De Roon.

      Hi Jony, with the DGW announced, will their be an article about when to play your TC chip? For those with their BB left, they will probably play it in 37 so would like to know what others are doing with the TC chip. DGW in 34 or 36, or a SGW like this week with Kane/Lukaku....

    c) 37

    For me 5,4, 13.

      From the ticker I see that Everton, Bou and Crystal Palace have fav SGW fixtures. Still those with a WC should target 10-12 DGW players for 37. Ergo it makes sense to be ambitious for DGW 34 if one is using WC in 35. Only drawback is this strategy will be heavily weighted towards Arsenal and Soton players.

    10. DOG GOD IT - KEANE 15

      6 for 34

    Planning to WC in 34 or 35?

    1. JÆKS ⭐
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      35, probably bench boosting in 37 and wasting my TC chip somewhere else

    2. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      35 (TC36) or 36 (TC32/34/38)

      1. Deulofail

        TC33*

    3. Jersey

    DDG, Pickford
    Valencia, Luiz, Yoshi, Vertonghen, Fabio
    Sanchez, Pedro, Alli, Redmond, De Roon
    Ibra, Lukaku, Deeney

    0.7 ITB, but what to do with my FT?

    A) Sanchez ➡ Hazard/Coutinho
    B) Save

    Afternoon everyone, I've been battered in the last few weeks owning Valencia, Walker, Siggy, Sanchez and Llorente.

    Any suggestions here:

    Pickford (Foster)
    Walker / Bavies / Valencia (Holebas / Amat)
    Sanchez / Alli / Coutinho / Siggy (Clayton)
    Aguero / Lukaku / Llorente

    2fts, TC, WC, BB & AOA all to be used

    Llorente, Sanchez & Walker > Kane, Zaha & Gibson?

    1. GE
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      I would do Aguero and Walker -> Kane and Yoshida

  13. Lingardium Leviosa.
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    I owned Zaha two times already and he has given me virtually zilch. Here's to hoping third time lucky.

    Disclaimer: Since I've got im he'll probably blank.

    1. WVA
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      He's got me loads of points on my bench 🙁

  14. My Pretty Pony

    An all Dutch affair in the cup then vs Who Divock Is Origi, or at least half-Dutch vs Dutch. Succes!

    2. My Pretty Pony

      Haha. Great (if random!) points, gents.

  15. Gruu
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Only BB left amongst the chips.
    What would u be looking at next?

    Grant
    Valencia | Davies | Robertson
    Sanchez | Alli | Eriksen | Zaha
    Aguero | Lukaku | Origi

    Jaku Siggy Stephens Chambers

    How does this sound for a -4pt?
    Heaton > Valdes (mainly for DGW and to enable Kane)
    Vardy > Kane (I do have Alli and Erikson already)

    A. Worth it
    B. Dont bother and just do Heaton > Valdes
    C. Dont do either!

    GW33 transfers?
    My current team: Heaton /Foster
    Baines / Valencia / Alonso / Verthonghen/Kingsley
    Hazard / Eriksen / Siggy / Coutinho / Fletcher
    Kane/ Lukaku /Llorente
    TV: £105.6, ITB: £0.7m
    1:Sigurdsson -> Zaha
    Transfer ideas (-4 hit):
    2- Fletcher -> Zaha Baines -> Jagielka
    3- Fletcher -> Zaha Heaton -> Pickford
    Struggling to pick one. Best options? or any better ideas?
    Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks a lot

    Just had some satanic attack or divine intervention idk, time will tell. Did Sanchez+Origi>Coutinho+Kane 😀 . Will it pay off?

    1. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Probably an improvement, but not worth the transfers (or hits?) imo. That's why it might not pay off

      1. sunzip14
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        I only owned Sanchez since gw31 and he did not pay off. Maybe u could benefit from my sale if you own Sanchez 😀

        1. Deulofail
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          I haven't owed him for a while, and I've gotten a bit lucky, so we're in the same boat now with Coutinho and Kane. Except that I also still have Origi. He could punish you too!

  20. Ibracadebruyne
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Pick one trio for GW33...

    A. Mirallas, Lukaku, Aguero

    B. Sanchez, Origi, Kane

  22. Deulofail
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    I finally understood why TC Kane in GW32 is only worth 2 points, TM. I'm a week behind. Unconsciously trying to give Arsenal more time to get it together this season.

  23. LordRougeGrog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    All this talk of DGWs in 36 and 37, but surely with there being just one more GW in 38, for many people it is important to consider fixtures in that week also?Look at fixtures in GW 38 when choosing the DGW players. We all know that GW38 can be a crap shoot as we all hunt around for that elusive Theo hattrick or this season's Stoke vs Liverpool, but no point taking too many risks if you have ML leads to defend.

    1. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Agreed, and I think most people will WC with GW38 in mind, so just remember to listen to your own advice 😉

    2. Klopp For The Kopps 😆
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Good Point!
      But with all the Key teams like City, United, Spurs, Chelsea and Southampton having really Good fixtures in 38, Strategy should be to Cover these Big Teams.

      1. LordRougeGrog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        I m crossing my fingers that the race for the Prem league title goes to the wire. Imagine for example Chelsea being 4 points clear of Spurs and Spurs 4 points clear of 3rd place going into GW38? Covering the big teams for the double could cause rotation headaches.
        Whatever happens I ll spend GW38 behind the sofa!

    When to use WC and when to use TC ?
    WC GW35 & TC GW37 ??

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      WC36 if you don't have BB.

      1. c10™️ ⚽
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        No.. dont hv BB.

    2. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      If you've used your BB already then 37 would be best for TC. Something of a differential TC too in a way, with so many BBing that week. May as well WC in 36 though unless you feel the need in 35

  25. Baked baines
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    GW 37 DGW means I'm reluctant, but have to lose some players. Josh King(After the Spurs game) has 5 glorious games. Unfortunately GW37 falls on him playing Burnley at home. What a gutter.
    Also spare a thought for the reliable Tom Heaton, Grant, Lukaku and Coutinho.

  26. Wild Rover
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Crushed? Bit harsh 38 of his pts were from Son and scabby auto subs 😛 Good luck to all still in 🙂

    1. Wild Rover

      *37pts. Could have been worse, Zaha was left on the bench 😉

  27. Lecky Legs FC
    • 8 Years

    How many DGW 34 players are you all having in your team? I'm going to have 4 maximum 5.

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years

        Yeah no need to overload don't think it will be better than 37 like.

    Who scores more next gw?

    A) Kane (-4)

    B) Walker

      A
      Walker might not even Play I feel

    2. Lingardium Leviosa.

      Next week as in vs Arsenal? Or this week vs Bou?

      In both cases, A

      Hard to say, but I think A is safer, despite the hit

      cheers all

      don't understand the comparison, since they can not be swapped for one another . . . there must be at least 2 other players involved.

    Surely GW 35 is a better week to activate your WC than 36 if you have both TC and BB left right?

      Could also go ahead and TC Ibra next Week
      That looks better to me

        Burnley and City away? Would be happy with 1 goal from him I think 😀

          Ibra has a Really Good Away form and also currently is in form
          Too much uncertainty regarding Sanchez
          Also the plus side is you can hold on to the non DGW players for Longer
          Also Closer the WC is to DGW, easier to plan cuz injuries can be easily dealt with.

      unless you use the TC before then. Kane or Luk this week, Ibra or someone else in 34. if not, then yes.

      seems to me the BB should be used in 37.

    Is anyone worried about Palace rotation in GW34? I guess they won't be guaranteed of staying up by that point. Big Sam also strikes me as the kind of manager that sticks with a winning formula although I'm just guessing.
