Having recently announced the launch of the 13th instalment of our open to all Fantasy Premier League cup competition, we thought we’d give you another reminder to make sure you enter in time.

As we revealed last week, this year’s contest is sponsored by FanDuel, who are donating more than £1,000 worth of prizes for UK based entrants on top of the £350 in Amazon vouchers we are offering to the top three managers at the end of the competition.

In addition, all UK entrants who take part in the cup get a £10 free credit from FanDuel added to their account when they play their first game. This can be used at any time as soon as you register with FanDuel.

Sign up to this latest Cup competition via the entry form here. The deadline for entries is Monday November 7.

Timetable

The first round will consist of 1024 teams and, as usual, all the competition’s previous winners who enter will gain a bye into the first round draw where they will join the top scorers from Gameweek 11. FPL standing will decide who progresses in the event of tied positions. Previous winners must enter to be included.

The cup will then be played out according to the following Gameweek schedule: 

Note that some Gameweeks are skipped due to tight turnaround times.

    anybody else on Foster/Pickford?
    don't really rotate well anymore.
    Plans?

    1. Demí
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Just stick em in and forget. Only Spurs and Arsenal have been keeping predictable enough clean sheets anyway. Never expect anything from your goalies apart from save points

      1. The Count of Monte Cristo
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Wise words

    2. oispakaljaa
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I have the same duo and always bench the wrong one. Can't really do anything about it 🙂

      1. Demí
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Benched the right one last 2 weeks, so i've got lucky. Gonna play Pickford this week

        1. oispakaljaa
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I'm on Pickford too so be warned 🙂

  2. Alnair

    Score predictions?

    1. Helia
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Mainz 1 - 0 bgb

      1. Alnair
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Valencia 2 - 3 Barcelona

  3. internal error
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Which of the following would cause the biggest rush of transfers?

    Allen scores
    Holebas scores
    Costa scores 2 and gets a yellow card

    1. applebonkers
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      holebas. allen has been scoring for weeks already

    2. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      All 3

    3. Alnair
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Allen, Costa will try to get booked so he misses the EFL cup.

      1. Ógie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        He always trys to be fair to him

        1. Bun Rab
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Yet failed in the last few games and got 3 bonus both times. He's rubbish at it!

  4. The Polymath
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Play Allen or Rashford this week?

    Thanks

    1. ZLATAN'S PONYTAIL
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Allen

    2. Krul Runnings
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      A

  5. FootballFanatic365
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    throw some light!

    foster // pickford

    bellerin Walker holebas // amat francis

    sterling sanchez firmino Antonio

    Benteke lukaku Defoe

    3.6 itb

    1. ZLATAN'S PONYTAIL
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Gtg. Maybe Antonio to wally

      1. FootballFanatic365
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        how about benteke + antonio + amat = deeney + wally + clyne (-8)

        1. ZLATAN'S PONYTAIL
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Amat is a good cheap defender. Clyne is expensive and Liverpool don't do CS's regularly.

          Deeney and Benteke are not too far off each other in terms of potential. I think the Antonio to Wally move should suffice. Good luck!

    2. MANGE TOUT RODNEY
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Who is your 5th mid?

      1. FootballFanatic365
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        capoue

  6. The Count of Monte Cristo
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Redmond -->

    A) Snodgrass
    B) Allen
    C) Other

    1. neilddd
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      B

      He is cheaper and doesn't play for Hull

    2. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      If Redmond is fit to play, keep.

      1. The Count of Monte Cristo
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers guys. Tempted to save it and maybe even start Capoue over Redmond for this GW...

        1. Emp
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          dont be mad

  7. TheD
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    How about Foster & Sterling -> Grant & Payet? For free.

    1. Krul Runnings
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Grant has a very short shelf life.

      Don't ditch Foster if you're other keeper isn't nailed on

    2. Darwen
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      No way. Butland due back any week and Sterling about to hit some great fixtures.

  8. GoonerByron
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Is Allen on penalties?

      1. Parm
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Allen needs to be put back on the corner ranks too, Shaqiri takes most of them now.

    1. Ruth_NZ
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I suspect Bony might take it if they get one.

      Otherwise Arnautovic took 3 last season and scored them all.

      1. Sjaugen
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        If Bony takes a pen I'll cry

        1. JIM BOB
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I reckon he'll get the next one for 'confidence'

  9. nick_pkt_12
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Team:
    Foster (Jaku)
    Walker, Smith, Valencia (Baines, Kingsley)
    Ozil (C), Bolasie, Antonio, Firmino (Capoue)
    Lukaku(VC), Costa, Deeney

    2 FT, 4.3 ITB

    A. Sell Capoue and make 0.2 off of him for (Stanislas/Allen/Milner)
    B.Sell Capoue for a more expensive mid
    C. Baines to Mustafi

    Any suggestions for midfield/defensive moves

    1. umerlfc
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Bolasie to Walcott or KDB & Baines to Mustafi

  10. Rolls-Royce
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Which one?

    a. Koscielny
    b. Mustafi

    1. Krul Runnings
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      B now due to price

      I would get Kos if they were both the same £

      1. Rolls-Royce
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers, but Mustafi also has better goal threat and baseline BPS, no?

        1. Alnair
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah and will probably outscore A over the season, plus A is more injury prone and has heavier international duty.

  11. beanz87
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Grant (Pickford)

    Stones Lovren Holebas (Smith Kingsley)

    Antonio Coutinho Sterling Sanchez(C) Allen

    Aguero Lukaku (Deeney)

    A,B or C guys????

    (A) Start Sterling and leave Deeney on the bench
    (B) Start Deeney and leave Sterling on the bench
    (C) Sell Sterling for Walcott for -4

  12. Dynamic
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Foster Jakupovic
    Valencia Stones Pieters Friend Amat
    Sanchez Firmino Redmond Snodgrass Capoue
    Aguero Costa Benteke
    1.3m ITB

    Would you save the free transfer or do something else?

    1. KLOPPS AND ROBBERS... the s…
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      one of Redmond Snodgrass Capoue needs to be upgraded imo

  13. Mortiis
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Foster
    Valencia, Van Dijk, Evans, (Amat, Mee)
    Hazard, Sanchez, Payet, Bolasie, Capoue
    Aguero, Lukaku, (Diomande)

    Thinking of doing Hazard and Diomande to Walcott and C.Wilson/Austin.
    Worth doing?

    Not sure between Wilson and Austin, former tells me Austin but heven never looks like scoring and manages to be right place right time once per game, can that continue? Also he has Man C and Che up next

  14. ryacoo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Which do you think scores more this week:

    A) Walcott (C) + Sterling
    B) Walcott + Sanchez (C) -4

    1. Helia
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Walcott, sterling (c)

  15. d1sable
    • Has Moderation Rights
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Cant believe how perfectly set up this is for an Aguero hat trick and him being somewhat (at least on here) of a differential skipper.

    Aguero (C) who's with me! (Screamed like Mel Gibson)

    1. Hands Guber
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Luke,my dude,all this Aguero speculation is total nonsense. I'm with you with bells.

      1. d1sable
        • Has Moderation Rights
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Till death do us part

    2. GoonerByron
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I messed up not captaining an Arsenal player last week and was disgraced as an Arsenal fan... Not sure I can do it again this week 😛

      1. Henryyy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        same

    3. Numb
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Arsenal have a much better fixture and are more on form.

    4. applebonkers
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      on him. had it on arnie for 2 days and suddenly thought i'd rather be the guy who has it on aguero when arnie scores a hattrick than visa versa

    5. JIM BOB
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      oh yes

  16. French Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Pick 3 please :

    A) Holebas (swa)
    B) Lovren (WBA)
    C) Stones (SOU)
    D) Pieters (hull)
    E) Amat (WAT)

    1. d1sable
      • Has Moderation Rights
      9 years, 1 month ago

      First 3 I think

    2. Sylas
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      A, B & D.

  17. FantaCity
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Guardiola "When Sergio decides to leave it will be his decision". ... WTF !!

    1. applebonkers
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      not sure what else he's meant to say. he's basically trying to tell the press they are idiots without insulting them

      1. FantaCity
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Agree it's probably nonsense, but it's still a very odd conversation to have about your 'star' player

        1. applebonkers
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          it's a big compliment

    2. Rhinos
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      He's getting the 11.30am from Piccadilly on Sunday

    3. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      My main worry is didn't he say the same thing about Hart at the start of the season?

  18. Kane Train
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Antonio > Walcott for free ???

    1. KISSES
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      YES

    2. some witty pun
      • 13 Years

    3. Krul Runnings

    4. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      1 more yes.

    5. Worzel Gummidge
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Dropping Antonio or WHU player is a good move.

    6. some witty pun
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Transfer in , which is better long term?
      A) Holebas
      B) Pieters

    7. Henryyy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Walcott or Sanchez C???????

      Cant make up my mind!!!

      1. d1sable
        • Has Moderation Rights

        Do you own a coin?

    8. Chris_White
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Would you do Defoe -> Austin this week?

      Given up on Sunderland and Southampton are on the up. Citeh aren't keeping clean sheets so not too worried about the worse match-up on paper...

      1. Rhinos
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        No. West ham not proves that they can defend yet

        1. Chris_White
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Anyone can defend against Sunderland.

      2. Bun Rab
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Not for me, Saints upcoming fixtures are not looking good. Maybe get something against City, but Chelsea, Liv, Eve all upcoming.

    9. zakard
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Choose one to play !
      A) Heaton
      B) Pickford

      Cheeeerrssss

      1. Chris_White
        • 14 Years

      2. Bun Rab
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

      3. Valar(Keith)
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Heaton no contest for me. The guy is slowly becomin an FPL legend

    10. Emp
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      ant to son/alli -4 ?

      1. Bun Rab
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I like this for Alli, but not for -4. Wait 24hrs and do it for free.

    11. Salah'd n Sauce
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Repost Sorry... Just spotted the new article...

      G2G? I'm not convinced on Rashford but....

      Heaton
      Mustafi / Valencia / Williams
      Son / Lallana / Capoue / Walcott (c)
      Rashford / Costa / Aguero

      Foster/Chadli/Stones/Amat

    12. some witty pun
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Which is better?

      A) KDB - Walcott - Payet
      B) Sanchez - Walcott - Firmino

      1. Annie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        this week B

      2. George James
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        A with Firminio

        1. some witty pun
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          thats odd, any reasoning? i thought that West Ham play the worst team in the league

          1. Annie
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            You think West Ham will offer up more midfield point potential than Arsenal? Likewise City over Liverpool? Really?

      3. Helia
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        A is more exciting

    13. Henry Hill

      What do people think of Shaqiri as a one week punt? On all set pieces against a hull team that can't stop the ball going into their own net

        like any stoke player this week if it's a 1 weeker

          True cheers mate, getting Iwobi was a poor error in judgement by me so need to rectify that.

        odd timing imo, he just scored at last

        Did that last week lost points

        Must admit it's tempting coz fixtures ropey but I'm keeping. He can tear anyone apart on his day anyway

        Would keep him this week, expect him to shine.

        No. Finding a new position as 2nd striker atm. Runs in behind Costa, gonna get more opportunities, give him a game or two to settle then reassess.

    16. Can you change your grav immediately please.

      I am having a Jontyesque time of it this season, teetering on the edge of the 1M mark and decided to throw some hits at it. Did a minus 8 to get this squad out this week:

      Pickford
      Williams/Holebas/Amat
      Sterling/Sanchez/Countinho/Walcott
      Lukaku/Aguero/Austin

      Bench: Foster, Capoue, Valencia, McCauley
