This evening we reveal the managers who have made it through to the third round of the 13th instalment of our open to all Fantasy Premier League cup competition.

For this latest contest there are more than £1,000 worth of prizes for UK based entrants courtesy of our partner FanDuel, as well as £350 in Amazon vouchers to the top three managers at the end of the competition.

Last year’s winner I Casillas Winning’s score of 55 saw him overcome Tufs to set up a round three clash with Allezlechef. Just 10,000 places separates this pair in the overall rankings.

Gribude is another former cup holder to make it through. He beat Allgonepozzo in round two and faces Cok3y5murf next.

Ex-champ MCH also progresses, after seeing off Shem Bayley. He takes on community regular Rhinos in round three.

Sadly, the second round marked the end of the road for another former winner, Ninja Fit Saints, who was beaten 70-49 by Jurgen.

The highest scoring manager of the round and recipient of a £30 FanDuel credit was DaJoeyNdo Show, whose sensational score of 95 left Stoorey’s tally of 40 for dust and saw him leap from 346,603rd in the overall rankings to 57,443rd.

Teguh D Puncak, who he faces next, is unlikely to be worried though as he sits more than 50,000 places higher within the top 5,000.

The four next high scoring managers, who all receive a £10 FanDuel credit, were Captainjpd, Delt_eple, DJDave1979 and Dogba.

Andy85wsm, the competition’s only Scoutcast representative to make it past the first round, marches on. He beat Lardy to set up a third round tie with Anuliz.

Two other members of our moderator and contributor team also make it through. Greenwindmill will face Archie, while Stilicho squares up to lowlifegimpe in round three.

Other notable match ups in the next round include Lateriser12’s encounter with The TinMan, Parm’s tie with TommyJ and What the Fans Say community article writer Bolivian Seaman’s clash with Al Fresco.

The manager to draw the short straw in round three is 433,854 ranked Malvern Angells. He faces Dempele, who at 177th is the highest placed manager remaining in the tournament.

The second round results can be found via this link, while the full third round draw can be found here.

        9 years, 19 days ago

        I remember that awful tournament before making a transfer and after making a transfer. It's just that when I'm about to make the transfer I always forget about it and end up transferring in an AFCONer

    1. Camp No No

      Resting the key player for the PL round now that this match is already lost. 😉

    Is it the finalists of the League Cup who get a DGW or the semi-finalists as well?

    1. Ziegler1988
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 19 days ago

      Finalists

    2. Hurricane Gilbert
      • 9 Years

      1. Hurricane Gilbert

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years

      It was awful......

    2. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 19 days ago

      Cant believe he was not booked for it

  8. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 19 days ago

    Need a goal. Take out your most talented player and bring on a lampost

    Bilic on weed ? 😀

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 19 days ago

      To be fair Payet did assist Man Utds 3rd goal apart from that he has been terrible

  9. Kante Be Bothered
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 19 days ago

    Assists in English domestic football this season:

    Mesut Özil – 1 in 12 games.

    Henrikh Mkhitaryan – 2 in 48 minutes.

    1. The Fantastic Mr Fox
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 19 days ago

      Miki played half a game vs City as well

    2. Bunk Moreland
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 19 days ago

      He played 45 minutes against City. Only three minutes in tonights match??

    3. makaveli123
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 19 days ago

      Messi - 0 assists

  10. KingNidge
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 19 days ago

    Payet transfer request incoming

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 19 days ago

      I don't think any Top 6 side would want him

      A bit of a hanky ball player at times who doesn't do enough

      1. Jazz!
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 19 days ago

        He's class.

      2. KingNidge
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 19 days ago

        His talent is such though that personally i wouldn't give him any off the ball duties just wave the magic wand when he's on it.. like a French chubby cheeked Matt Le Tissier lol

        1. Bazzalona
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 19 days ago

          Most of the better teams in this country have their forwards working hard though don't they. If he went - which isn't a given - I think he'd go abroad

          1. KingNidge
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 19 days ago

            Good point Bazz you're probably right

            I love the guy

            1. Bazzalona
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 19 days ago

              He is great I just don't think he does enough given his talent.
              I could be biased due to him being my fpl equivalent of Trollkaku.

      3. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 19 days ago

        Good player but heavily reliant on set pieces. Turns 30 this season. Only someone desperate would pay WHU's asking price.

        1. KingNidge
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 19 days ago

          It's his age that makes me think he would be even more desperate to get out.. no disrespect to West Ham but he has the ability to play for a huge club and could be his last chance

          1. Davido989
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 19 days ago

            PSG maybe

    2. Bazzalona
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 19 days ago

      Great player but a 'highlights' player

      1. Syd.
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 19 days ago

        He is very much so

    3. Somalion
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 19 days ago

      Apparently West Ham are due to offer him a further contract improvement worth something like £125k a week.

      Sounds like the big fishie wants to swim to a bigger pond.

  11. The Fantastic Mr Fox
    • 11 Years

    Arsenal eliminated

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 19 days ago

      The conceded the game with that line up

      Wenger not interested in the EFL Cup

      1. The Fantastic Mr Fox
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 19 days ago

        Tbf, Soton had 8 changes from the weekend. So B team on both sides

      If Utd can carry this form into the league it would take a brave man to bet against them getting that Europa league spot

      1. Hurricane Gilbert
        • 9 Years

        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
