Down to the final 32 in the FFS Members Cup, we roll out the Fifth Round Draw, which takes place over the upcoming weekend. Former winner Fuzzy Dunlop remains in with a chance of becoming the first Fantasy manager to recapture the crown, while Rodallega Bombs will be confident of clinching a place in the last 16 after seeing off Evs last time out. Elsewhere, Rory OConnor is the highest ranked manager left – he sits in 127th spot overall – while Paul keeps the Contributors’ hopes alive:

1 Just_Ty Vs. fodowd
2 cuihe_508 Vs. Old Glory
3 Zizo Vs. drakesdrum
4 SQUEAKYBUMTIME Vs. Rodallega Bombs
5 Avenger Vs. apmorley
6 HitHappens Vs. diz
7 HeartOfTheCity Vs. Fadge87
8 Fuzzy Dunlop Vs. Caversham feltchers
9 NA_Owlstars Vs. www.msospace.com
10 Acquafresca Vs. Conroc coffee
11 12 inch of fury Vs. Toxicmama
12 stewpot Vs. United13
13 Nick Vs. Eunuch Jelly
14 Maddocio Vs. Lonecomander
15 mcginley50 Vs. Teacher42
16 Paul Vs. bgs

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      DDG has the Linde factor. I think Cech is Chelsea's safest player (more than Cole, as they have Bertrand).

      Now convinced with Kagawa this season as he's not nailed on and his Opta stats suggest he's been over performing FPL wise.

    usually when I see an international break on the horizon I have no worries as half my players usually end up with a chest cold or a toe cramp or a tender tummy

    I see this go round is mostly WC Qualifying, thus a bit more serious

      Good reasoning.

      I am finding it hard to resist using mine, but think my team looks decent enough for this week.

      J Evans I want long term and Reading game looks good, so half tempted to throw caution to the wind, but not 100% he'll play on weekend anyway (but will start majority once the midweeks etc come in to play).

    Current Team:

    De Gea Bunn

    Evra Zab Bassong Davies Clyne

    Walcott Sissoko Bale Gerrard N'Zog

    Suarez Rooney Lambert

    So...

    I'm tempted by the following moves:

    N'Zog - Caz. (Better player, plus dgw)
    Lambert - Remy (on fire)
    Zab - Barnett (sponsors the Caz move)

    That would leave me with the following squad:

    De Gea Bunn

    Evra Davies Bassong Clyne Barnett

    Walcott Sissoko Bale Gerrard Caz

    Suarez Rooney Remy

    No FTs left this week but could take a hit of some scale.

    Could use some other opinions. Particularly re timing.

    What say ye, madness?

      Most say GW 36. But I think it depends on your team and who loses the FA cup between che and Utd. Cause if United have a double GW and you lack united players than I would go for a GW33 Wildcard. Well you basically get my point. I for one will go GW 33 WC if United win, and gw 34-36 if Chelsea win. Cause I only have Rooney from united and no everton players.

    I know I have been annoying you all with my endless posts about what transfer to make, but I'm not going to be around tomorrow or Saturday to make me transfers so I'm going to have to do it tonight.

    I think I have settled it.

    Michu ➡ Maloney

    Sturridge ➡ Rooney (can't afford RVP)

    -4 points.

    Opinions please. 🙂

        Really? I suppose Mata is off form and I would be getting Lampard in for him in a week or two anyway.

          After this week I'm ditching Mata and avoiding Chelsea altogether.

          Schedule is too condensed and too much rotation headache in the side..

      Might be just my perception but I can't remember you asking for as much advice prior to reaching dizzy heights, and since you stared to slip back a bit you seem to ask more?

    Lingegaard will not get another game this year mate

    What about his winner's medal? Doesn't he need 2+ appearances before the end of the season? Whilst this may mean a cameo appearance, once the title has been won, you'd imagine Fergie to give the rest of his squad a run out.

      he may easily start one of the games in dgw.
      and definitely some youngsters will be playing more if the title is won. (can't think of any who isn't out on loan though....)

      Yeah I would have thought Fergie would let him play a couple of games.

      That being said though. Anyone got any examples of Fergie or anyone letting players play just to get their medals? I can't think of any off the top of my head.

      I just bought DDG back, but regardless of any conventions regarding medals, still expect SAF tol give Lindy a run out - probably for more than a couple of games. It's the sort of thing he does with his squad.
