There are some big names to aim for in the Second Round of the FFS Members Cup. Site regulars such as Evs – who sits sixth in the FFS Members League – and Jonah, who is sixth overall, are both through to the final 256, while The Tinkerman will be hoping to replicate his 124 point haul from the previous round.

Some of the old school posters also stand out – Pompeyfan, Dribbler, Rasping Drive and Denial have all been around these parts for quite some time. Doosra is in there, too – whether he has Jonty’s dog with him is maybe a matter for another day.

          No probs, saw you just above me! The game rewards flair (no point makings a safe team and finishing average) so suits you perfectly 🙂 Won a small amount finishing fourteenth in the open pool where you bet money. Many other FFSers would have won if they'd entered the open pool.

        We play at Manchester Central on third generation astroturf (ie. Actually resembles grass). Not a league but we play twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays, rotating the players between teams each week.
        I play with a lot of Greek Cypriots, they're really entertaining. We had a Greece v Rest of World match recently! We lost big time but felt a bit better when we found out two of them had been in the squad of Cypriot teams - one had been in the squad (not first team) of APOEL Nicosia!

      Ah sorry, I see, if Debuchy is nailed on, as far as I'm aware he is then could be a decent move. The reality is that returns from defenders in the mid table and under teams are a bit of a lottery.

      No problem.

      Bertrant, Demel and Guthrie could all play, making any transfer slightly more risky.

      If you think any won't play, now might be as good a time as any to shift and perhaps get an extra player on the pitch this week (and perhaps in GW29 if the fixtures are riddles with blanks). Only do it if the replacement is decent of course.

      Who can you get for Guthrie?

      Looks a decent move to me... -4 points would tempt me to field xi though... not sure whether I'd go striker or try and talk myself into taking a hit for a defender though.

      Could have said the same of Bale or Aguero who both got zero returns against the club at the bottom of the table. Chelsea have also failed to score against them. I have RVP, is normally my first captain choice, however not if I feel another option is better. Walcott is playing at home, against Villa who are a defensive shambles, if he achieves a score close to RVP as a mid the returns will be about the same.

    0 - spurs away - Blank = 2 point vs spurs if lucky and -4 for hit so 6 in total
    Im sure a defender will score more than 6 in the next 3

      Its not that its overrated. Its when a top side like Barca have no plan B when they are losing, they continue to play their predictable style that all clubs over the world are learning how to defend.

      They need to learn how to play direct, attacking football, or they won't win a big competition such as Champions League.
