With the Members-only version wrapped up, all our attentions turn to our third and final Cup competition of the season. The FFS Cup IV is down to just 32 Fantasy Managers, and the upcoming Gameweek 34 sees them face-off to be cut in half once more. The fourth round results can be viewed right here, and the draw for the fifth is here. Here’s a brief round-up of all the notable fourth round action…

Reigning champ Gooner dave came off second best in his match-up with SammyC, losing 83 – 72. His amazing hot-streak had to come to an end, but he will still have high-hopes of a top 100 finish for the season. As for SammyC, he moves on to a showdown with Wonderboys.

In another big round four match-up Green_Libero defeated Locarno 85 – 80. Things don’t get any easier for the victor however, with a fifth round tie against the previous rounds top-scorer, hamyai_hamyai. He’s coming in of the back of a momentous 128 – 91 annihilation of gledy.

In total there were seven centurions this past gameweek. Along with hamyai_hamyai there was honkey (102 – 82 droghedans), daniel.mf (113 – 93 gatzi), Pocket Beatnik (108 – 86 hassyg), jamrockfc (109 – 60 Mansi), redsareback (101 – 97 Arsenalblood) and Pez (117 – 98 Up The Alex).

There were no drawn ties in the fourth round, with the closest any two Fantasy Managers got to each other being two points. Kevin84 scored 84 points (obviously), which saw the end of Leisure and his 82 points, and Morpheus beat top-ranked Off Regularly 89 – 87.

Kevin84 will now take on omar little in the next round, and Morpheus has been drawn with daniel.mf.

Commiserations to those leaving the competition at this stage, and good luck to the 32 Fantasy Managers hoping to end their season on a high.

    So who’s everyone captaining? Think it’s common sense just to captain RVP for this one. Lampard’s record against West Ham isn’t great and RVP has scored in every full away game he has played this season. As for DGW players, not as tempting as usual, bit of a gamble to captain them but then again it could be very profitable.

      Think RVP would be a good pick, Arsenal will score and he's in great scoring form. I believe all the DGW players are a risk too because you can never really guarantee their points

      Doesn't Lampard usually score against West Ham? I may be wrong, but I'm sure he usually does well against them.

      Bobby Z it is for me though.

    Sorry for the repost guys, need some advice!!

    My current team is:

    Al-Habsi (Foster)
    Luiz Vidic Walker (Coleman) (Kelly)
    Barton Nani Fabregas Adam Lampard(C)
    RVP Carroll (Odemwingie)

    I have 1.4M in the bank.

    Do these transfer sound wise?

    Al-Habsi to Begovic
    Barton to Etherington.....4 Point Hit

    Looking for sone Fulham coverage and was thinking to bring Hughes or Baird for Coleman, does that sound wise?

      its a big gamble taking points hits for players you won't particularly want after the dgw. If they misfire, you've taken a hit to get them in and may take a hit to get that out. I've brought in Dempsey for Adam. I am considering leaving it at that and hoping the teams don't do that much. I masy consider Kelly to a fulahm defender for a 4 point as Kelly is out.

        yeah I agree with you, I think the most pressing transfer is to bring in Begovic because I think he rotates well with Foster till the end of season so I will want him in.

        I reckon I will just do Kelly to Hughes/Baird or Coleman to Hangeland.

        Only player I was considering was Etherington bacause he has Blackpool the game after but I'm not sure

    Hey guys,

    My team at the moment is:

    Foster, Begovic
    Baines, Walker, Samba, Luiz, R Johnson
    A Young, Malouda, Nani, Nasri, Adam
    RVP, Rooney, Zigic

    I have one free transfer this week. I am thinking of downgrading one of Baines, Samba or R Johnson to make enough money to then do Zigic OUT, and one of Zamora, Carroll or K Jones in.

    How does R Johnson OUT, Smalling IN. And Zigic OUT, Zamora IN look?

    I have 0.4 in the bank.

    If you can see any other moves I could consider, please let me know.

    Thanks in advance for any help!

        Thanks - I need to downgrade one of Baines/Johnson/Samba to make way enough to fund the Zamora move. Who would you downgrade out of them, and who would you suggest as a suitable replacement? Huth, maybe?

        Would you sell Nani instead of Nasri for Dempsey if budget constraints mean you can't do Nasri->Dempsey,DJ->Sturridge for a 4 pt. hit?(Falling just 0.1 short).Rest of the team is as follows:

        Foster/Al-Habsi,
        Coleman/RJ/Simpson/Luiz/Djourou,
        Nani/Nasri/Barton/Lampard/Adam,
        DJ/RVP/Drogba.(0.0 in bank,1 free transfer)

        Other option is to do Nasri->Dempsey,Adam->Etherington for -4 but not sure if Adam is out.

                Adam is a doubt and I have a feeling Bale will perform this weekend, he's a differential for me in the mini league. May change my mind on Sat morning when I decide to play it safe with the "Undifferential"

                  Well I think Utd will play Hernandez and Rooney together for the foreseeable future in which case Rooney will play deeper in the Sniedjer (fabs, ahem) role, linking the play between midfield and attack. If that's the case, i personally think 2 more defensive midfielders are suited to playing in the midfield behind Rooney, not someone attack minded like wesley. I do think he's an absolute brilliant player, he would just unbalance the team. I'd prefer M'Vila to Sniedjer... crazy days.

                      I don't think you can replace scholes, it's like trying to replace ronaldo, or messi, or dare i say fabregas. You have to change the way your team plays. I'd love it if we got Gotze in the summer, infact scratch that it... i'd LOVE it.

                        I look at it the opposite way, rooney keeps coming deep to get the ball and play, if sneider was ther, there would be no need for him to do it, he could play as a proper striker!

                        The Stock - He was class against Bayern and Leverkusen, that's good enough for me!

                        Snoochie - He's not a DM no, but he could play on either wing, rotating with Nani, Valencia, Park or Giggs, or play in the AM role if we go 451 in europe or tough away games. People seem to want another Nani style winger bought, but Gotze is more Fabs with the ability to play as a winger too.. his technical ability is unbelievable jeff. As i wrote earlier, as a DM i'd like to see M'Vila. I was up for Rodwell but he's Hargreaves Mk II on the injuries, thats the last thing we need.

                    It wasn't all that bad on Tuesday, was it? there was a few Hernandez diving comments, then someone played the glory hunter card and you got all huffy.

                    There is normally some wumming when united play, but that's mainly because there are so many bloody United fans on here!

                    plus, I'm pretty gutted it's not wrestling, saw "WWF" in the recent comments section and was all over it.

                  that means it will take a 2 goal lead for 50 million wasted pounds to have a run, like against wba

                  it depends on wether they are playing with 1 striker
                  but last game he did well starting in lennon's spot at right wing in 442 and then switching to the middle so still a good shot regardless and he's on penalty duties

            Scott Parker - 5 goals, 3 assists, he must have won it for his defensive qualities, oh wait... 58 goals against, the second highest in the prem, and West Ham are, unfortunately, still second from bottom. Baffling decision.

              It doesn't look like you've watched him play this season. He's held West Ham together and they'd be a lot worse off without him.

              So it should be impossible to be Player of the Year if you play in one of the poorer teams? I don't think West Ham would have been (very) much higher if they had a young Zidane in their team instead of Parker, and following your logic, Zidane should then not stand a chance to get Player of the Year.

                    i think he's pointing out that all those players play for top teams. Its certainly been a trend previously to give it to a player in a top 4 team. There is an opinion held this year that its a lot easier to look good in a good team than in a team thats struggling. This may well be why they have gone for Parker this year. I think they've got a point and Parker is as good a pick as any. He's certainly been consistant.

            Hello,

            I am thinking of doing:
            Nani out –> Silva in
            Zigic out –> Sturridge in
            for a 4 pt hit.

            Does that make sense to you?

            I am afraid that Nani will be a constant doubt until the end of the season due to rest/rotation. And I think that 10 M£ for a player that stays on the bench or plays less than 60 minutes is a waste. In addition, the three next fixtures are not so easy for ManU (EVE, ars, CHE). The two last fictures will be easy, but they might already be champions by then.
            Silva will have a double game week, rather favorable fixtures until the end of the season (bla, WHM, eve, TOT, STK, bol), including a dgw. And Man City will probably be motivated until the end of the season.

            Sturridge is a more straightforward choice: double gameweek (not an easy one though), then favorable fixtures, and he is in the team of the guy behind me in the mini league I am leading.

            So, good or bad idea overall?

              I'd definitely keep Nani for this GW his form at OT is very good.

              Zigic > Sturridge looks a decent move though for no hit.

                Nah I don't think that's a problem. Klasnic and rodrigo aren't the solution, davies and elmander are already starting every game.
                Coyle loves his side playing good football and I get the impression he loves helping sturridge develop.

                  judging from last season's run even stoke conceeded 7 when they had their mind on a vacation a bit too early, not to mention testing replacement for the likes of cahill and elmander who are likely to leave in the summer

            Thinking of doing Rooney > Drogba - have no Chelsea mid/forw cover and while Rooney will likely play tomorrow, think minds will turn to CL once a goal or two in front. Good idea?

            I'm not sure which other two players to bench out of my team. The only definite one I've decided on is Samba.

            Begovic, Foster
            Kolarov, Luiz, Walker, Samba, R Johnson
            A Young, Malouda, Nani, Nasri, Adam
            Rooney, RVP, Zamora

            Thanks in advance for any help.

              I'd say between Rooney and Nasri.

              Rooney's record vs Everton is pretty terrible whilst Arsenal vs Bolton (under Coyle) is 4 wins out of 4 and scoring 2-3 goals a game on average.

                  rooney always gets a good end of season run, especially with valencia back

            Would you guys say that Adam or Barton to Walters or O'Hara would be a good shout?

            Thinking of Barton - O'Hara, but it will be a 4 point hit. Worth it?

                what about A Young to Dempsey? I dont really have a viable captain choice, and i need one i think!

                  dempsey and o'hara are not good captain choices imo. I reckon young might outscore dempsey this week.

                      wolves are screwed without doyle. Since he's been out they've lost 4-1 and 3-0 vs newcastle and everton. They'll struggle to score 2 goals against fulham and stoke imo.

            A) Huth (goal threat, likely clean sheet against Wolves) and Dempsey (poor form of late)

            OR

            B) Hangeland (likely to keep 2 clean sheets) and Etgerington (set piece taker)?

              hangeland more likely to keep 2 cleanies rather than huth

              but i wouldnt say fulham is likely to keep 2 clean sheets period. if that were the case then hes worth a transfer regardless of what else you do.

              I personally brought in A myself. Im hoping Huth lets the dogs out!
