FFS Cup

FFS Cups – Results and Fifth Round Draws

Our two Premier League cup competitions have reached the last 32 stage – time to take a look at the some of the key Round Five encounters.

Our open-to-all cup’s only former winner, Mark, marches on, after seeing off What Divock?! to set up an encounter with 22,229th-ranked hishamkmr. With a 468 rank, Mark looks the favourite to proceed into the sixth round.

Another manager to draw the short straw and face a top 500 manager is the 21,317-placed Not Much Klopp, who takes on 339-ranked NUFC Fifer -the contest’s highest remaining manager.

Among the other eye-catching ties is the contest between Bake Baines on toast and My Pretty Pony (aka Peter Kouewenberg), who along with Mark is another representative of our live Hall of Fame Top Ten.

Peter’s 817 rank puts him in the driving seat for this encounter, given his opponent is 89,964 places below him.

The full Fifth Round draw can be found here.

At 88th in the world Pukka is the highest-placed remaining competitor in the Members Cup and takes on the 57,394th-ranked rogerbarton in the last 32.

Hana, who is 106 in the world, defeated Fenghh, the conqueror of former winner Trigg in Round Two, and next takes on Choppers13, who is another highly-placed manager, with a rank of 1,242.

Elsewhere, Round Four’s community writers derby saw Kryten emerge victorious over TopMarx. His reward is a match-up with Tramp, who at 70,119 is 53,496 places behind him.

De Ennet, who is 15,780 in the rankings, beat RoysCallerAnne and takes on another community regular in the next round, the 56,691-placed Rossendale Rover.

The full Fifth 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.

      A seems pointless if WCing next GW.
      Possibly C and hope Valencia misses 1.

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

      Maguire to Gibson or PvA or Bailly.

    3. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      E Olson to Gibson and move Maguire or Bavies to first sub

          There are several sites.
          The main one I play is Yahoo Fantasy Golf which is mid season but can be picked up at anytime. ( runs from Jan > Sept every year)
          Others are ~ playfantasygolf.com
          fantasygolf.pgatour.com run a weekly one and done game and a conventional one too.

          If you want to spend money on it DraftKings do a golf game as well which I've never tried.

          No, no just online chess. But a break should do us all good. 😉 Stressful season this.

  5. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Play Jaku over Pickford?

    1. DeadStarComing
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      If you still have a wildcard I'd take a chance on a dgw goalie. Hennessy or De Gea if you can.

    2. Dreams
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Pickford. Have been trolled enough by jaku.

    3. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      But the scout squad picked Jaku over Pickford!

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

        I know. Every time I pick jaku over him, Pickford gets more points. So I have stopped rotating. Pickford is the go to goalie for my team.

    4. TheTinman
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Same predicament. Would you go for DDG -4?

      1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Yes- good 3 game punt until WC Week 36

    5. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      I dont have enough itb to get DDG,I think Jaku,Pickford have decent fixtures so no need for a hit

  6. Moves like Dejagah
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Anything worth a hit?

    De Gea (Pickford)

    Alonso, Toby A, Valencia (Holgate, Stephens)

    Alli, Sane, Zaha, Walcott (Redmond)

    Kane, Origi, Ibra (c)

    REPOST

    Hey guys! I have 2 questions and hope you guys drop your opinion.

    1) a) aguero and lukaku out for Zlatan and Negredo/Rashford
    B) Aguero and Baines out for Zlatan and Bailey
    2) Should I drop Ali or Son to Play DGW (de roon)

    Current team for dgw34

    Grant
    Valencia Baines Gibson
    Alli Couthino Sanchez Deroon
    Aguero Benteke Lukaku

    Bench: jaka, son, davies holgate

    1. Moves like Dejagah
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      B and absolutely no way should you drop Alli or Son.

    2. Dazzler365
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Aguero to zlatan, play son

  8. Dazzler365
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    Judgement day on the transfer front for gw 34 lads!!

    1. Make Arrows Green Again
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Man United Europa league destiny you mean?

      1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Man U wins.... many of their assets slide into rotation question

      2. Dazzler365
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Exactly it, the difference between a -4 or not

  9. QPRUTD
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    1) b
    2) no

    1. Dazzler365
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      B

    2. QPRUTD

  10. samaael
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Playing WC next week

    heaton
    walker/ luiz/ valencia
    sanchez/ zaha/ arnautovic/ alli/ De Roon
    lukaku/ ibra

    robinson/ amat/ carroll/ evans 1ft 2.0IT

    a) heaton to DDG
    b) heaton to DDG - Arnie to someone with DGW -4
    c) sanchez to 8.2 - Carroll to Kane -4

    1. Bagheri Arce
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Wouldn't be ditching Sanchez

      Maybe Heaton>DDG plus would consider Amat to Gibson and bench Walker (might be rotated anyway leaving you with only 2 defenders)

  11. Albrightondknight
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Play Bavies or Alonso?

    1. Moves like Dejagah
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Alonso for me.

    2. MTPockets
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Alonso.

    3. only2
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Can someone please tell me who to get from borogh defence after Gibson?

      1. n-doggg
        • 11 Years

        You doubling?

        1. only2
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          yes, if valdes can get fit... have had him for ages though. cant get gibson, too expensive

      2. Dreams
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Chambers if fit. Read the hot topic.

        1. only2
          • 11 Years

          thanks for the reply!

    4. timPgoodwin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Worth a hit on anything? 3.1M in the bank.

      Pickford - Grant.
      Alonso - Valencia - Maguire - Mawson - Brunt.
      Zaha - Siggy - Eriksen - Alli - Grosicki.
      Ibra - Kane - Carroll

      1. n-doggg
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Carroll to benteke or Negredo.

        Maison to Gibson

        1. timPgoodwin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          For a -8? What's the thinking?

          1. Moves like Dejagah
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 11 months ago

            It's effectively only a -4 as they both play twice.

            1. timPgoodwin
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              6 years, 11 months ago

              Nail on head. That's why I am thinking of doing it - What do you think of the player choice for the -8?

      2. Moves like Dejagah
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Maybe look at getting De Gea and Gibson.

        1. timPgoodwin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Not keen on any Boro defender with Valdes out and almost having to play more attacking to stay in the league. Will leave them open.

      3. MTPockets
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Carroll?

      4. MTPockets
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Reckon dgw GK or Gibson/Bailly worth -4?
          (have Jaku, Valencia. And Davies who'd have to be benched).

        • TheTinman
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Chance of Spurs clean sheet? What do we think?

          1. Moves like Dejagah
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 11 months ago

            Hopefully very high. Could always concede a wonder goal I guess.

          2. Netley Lucas
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 11 months ago

            7/5, so 41.67% chance.

        • Moves like Dejagah
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          If you're chasing in a mini league you could look at De Gea or maybe Gibson. Depends who your rivals have.

          1. Moves like Dejagah
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 11 months ago

        • RubberDucky

            Think the season ticket is playing up, has Man Utd fixtures top for attacking

              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 14 Years
              6 years, 11 months ago

              7 games left and better fixtures than Arsenal/S'ton.

              1. RubberDucky
                  6 years, 11 months ago

                  Not exactly 'blue' fixtures but ok take your point, thanks

                • 7 Years
                6 years, 11 months ago

                Pick:
                1. Grant to Valdes (if fit)
                2. Grant to Hennessey and Robertson to Chambers -4 (would have to play him over Alonso or Walker)

                  For just DGW34? I'd do 1. Can't see CPL keeping a CS.

                Agüero to Ibra FT?
                No WC so this will likely cost me 4 points in planning up to GW37.

                I have exact cash for Lukaku --> Ibra for a ft.

                If united gets eliminated tonight the transfer is a no brainer right ? Not sure id do it if united progress tthough.(then doubling up on bailey and rojo could be the way to go

                Thoughts ?

                  If they get eliminated and Ibra plays, it means Ibra playing = losing 😉

                Worth trading out Davies for Bailly for -4? Would free up a Spurs spot to bring in Kane next round...

                  should have done it earlier. bette late than never 😉

                  He's a transfer out waiting to happen (owner) if you think CPL will score then go for it.

                    Are you a Bailly or Davies owner?

                      Davies owner considering the same move.

                Have finally boiled the alternatives down to a few solid ones:

                A) Brunt, Llorente -> Gibson, Negredo (-4, benching Maguire)
                B) Llorente, Grant -> Negredo, DDG (-4)
                C) Grant + A -> DDG + A (-8)

                Want to play aggro to keep ML lead, but took a -8 hit this round as well... your opinion? Cheers

                    Even in a double? Surely better to play the mid in a double rather than a defender in a single?

                Would you ditch Lukaku for Ibrahimovic if United progress tonight?

                  I've decided on keeping kaku. apparently always scores against WH

                Worth swapping out Jaku Hennessey for a hit?

                Already have Robertson. Have already played wc so looking at sustainable changes.

                  Oh - other keeper is Pickford.

                Hi all.Which move is best?
                a) Llorente to Negredo for a hit?
                b) Play DRoon and bench Llorente.

                  I find that Llorente just has to go. Getting rid of him this week for a hit
