On the eve of Gameweek 19, we can reveal those who prevailed in the sixth round of our open-to-all Fantasy Premier League cup competition to earn a place in the last sixteen stage, which takes place over the next set of fixtures.

For this cup 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.

In addition, the highest scoring manager each round will collect a £30 FanDuel credit, with Big Phil Soccer Team winning that accolade for the second week in a row. He is also the competition’s highest placed manager, with an overall rank of 5838, and faces David Brains in round seven after seeing off TorresMagic 95 to 76.

Despite losing out, TorresMagic’s tally was enough to earn him a £10 FanDuel credit as one of the four next highest scorers in round six.

Among the closest ties in round seven is the clash between 9,047 placed Bashvilla and Real Sociopath, who has an overall rank of 11,415.

Another similarly ranked battle involves 8,265 placed DillyDingDillyDongFC against Back on the Horse, who sits in 21,192nd.

The competition’s second highest ranked manager and another recipient of a round six highest score prize of a £10 FanDuel credit, is 6426th placed Simonsimondock. He takes on Moin, who is just 9,000 places below him in the overall standings.

The competition’s lowest ranked manager at 1,006,807 is 808AllDay, who saw off 31,470 placed jurgenklopp.8 in round six and also earned a £10 FanDuel credit for his tally of 75. This giant killer has a slightly easier tie in the next round when he takes on 157,004 placed malvernangells.

Meanwhile, Lowlifegimpe, who also claimed a round six highest score £10 FanDuel credit, takes on Hazardousblue.

The final round seven clashes sees Dumbo Delap face Urchin, another recipient of a £10 FanDuel voucher for a high round six score.  Meanwhile, A Manager Has No Name squares up to Jacknap.

    Looks like if I want to do Wally to Micky it has to be tonight. Have exact cash and Wally falling tonight. Hmmm...

    1. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Not fancy alli instead or do you have eriksen? Basically what my decision comes down to after dithig eriksen for Walcott last week like a numpty.

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Already got Eriksen and Kane

    2. Respect My Authoritah
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I'd do that without hesitation. Had to settle for Firmino myself

  2. WDT
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Hmm. So the masses seem to be going Ake. I went Smith last night thinking he's more nailed and feel his Ppg is likely to be more sustainable. Did I go wrong?

    1. bojack
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Probably sensible.

    2. Numb
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Nah

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Only time will tell.

    4. John t penguin
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Playing in midfield, but from what I have seen he doesn't look suited. Maybe Stan coming back will move things around

  3. SheBangsTheDrums

    9 years, 3 months ago

    Hi lads,

    Thoughts on Muniesa to Holgate for a FT?

    Rest of defence is currently:

    Alonso - Jones - Holebas - Amat

    1. Espen8
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Holgate is great considering the price and fixtures. Could easily be dropped though if Everton plays one or two bad matches. But with the price its worth the risk.

    2. Monkey Hanger
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I'm getting him.

  4. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    I'm going for an 8 timer

    8 captain fails in a row now that's what you call a talent

    1. bojack
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      It's roulette.

    2. Pipermaru
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      So, how do you call 11 in a row?

    3. Ninja Fury
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      for reference... who you captaining?

    Repost:

    Replacement for Lovren.

    1. Brunt (have McAuley)
    2. Jones (worried about rotation)
    3. Cedric (worried about rotation)
    4. Gibson
    5. Ake
    6. Other? Looking for under 6.0m, not Rose

    Cheers in advance!

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      The answer is ALWAYS Brunt.

      1. Geoff
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Do we think he is 100% nailed?

    2. Espen8
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Brunt, huge differential and sexy fixtures.

      1. Geoff
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Would Brunt, McAuley, and Philips be too much?

        1. Camp No No
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Not if you think WBA will do extremely well.

          1. Geoff
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            haha well that's kind of a non-answer isn't it.

            Double ups make me nervous in defence and I don't know if I want to have a cheap fourth mid

  6. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    How hard is it to spell a name right? It's Eriksen.

    Not Erickson. Not Ericcson. Not Erikson. Not Eriksan. Not Eiriksen. Not Ericksen. Not Eriksson. Not Erikssen. Not Ericsson.

    Eriksen.

    1. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Call me Erik

    2. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      But how do you pronounce it

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Eriksen

        1. Camp No No
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Obviously.

    3. the axolotl
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      carzola says hello

    4. Whazza
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      What about Lorrente lol

    5. bojack
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Firmino. Firminho. Firminiho. Fermino. Ferminho. Ferminiho.

    6. Camp No No
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      One word:

      Kebab.

  7. Legomane
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Mane > Firmino... Madness or inspired? 🙂

    1. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Maybe a week early

      1. Sess!
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        ...or 2 if mane stays for subderland game

    2. Emiliano Sala
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      For now madness

    3. Legomane
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Obviously a recent check on Fffix has nothing to do with my question. Bought mine for 8.9, so going to lose value tonight. Though, more annoyed with Kane dropping tomorrow before opportunity to assess Sergio TBH.

  8. Valar(Keith)
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    A lot of nyom talk.. but no Ake anywhere. Janmaat to Ake seems a no brainer to me ATM. Is there some Injury news I've missed out on?

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

      Though tbf I just logged on and browsed page 2 🙂

    2. Heavy Data
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Is there Ake news?? :/

  9. George Sillett
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    What's the deadline for players to comit to ACON? Thinking particularly with reference to Zaha.

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      GW20 is his last

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        He's going

        1. George Sillett
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Thought Southgate was trying to persuade him that he was English and fat Sam trying to keep him here.

            1. Camp No No
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 3 months ago

              Better chances to win something with Ivory Coast anyway. Obvious choice.

  10. PMz
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    1FT and 0.3 ITB. Any changes necessary?

    Heaton (Pickford)

    Evans Azpi Holebas

    Allen Haz Sanchez Eriksen

    Ibra (c) Kane Origi

    Subs: Pieters Hojbjerg Amat

  11. Espen8
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Jones or Valencia long term?

    1. Emiliano Sala
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Valencia

    2. Espen8
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Jones 4.9 and Valencia 5.4.

  12. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone over 80% is at risk of a price fall as has been shown frequently. If you need the money don't take risk, or least don't come crying about it tomorrow 😉

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Exactly.

    2. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Good advice.

      1. Flynny
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Yup....lallana at plus 79.

        Think I need to do firmino to lallana now so I can afford Kun next week...

    3. the axolotl
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      wise, i'm taking this advice and going off-line tomorrow

    4. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Well it is a fairly high percentage

    5. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Dont fuel market panic Rover things are volatile enough 🙂

  13. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Get Siggy, Sterling or Phillips as week replacement for Walcott?

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      1 week

      1. Totti
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        same dilemma
        having walcott and don't know what to do!
        thinking for leaving him

  14. rdamjan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Wally to Phillips or JRod?

    1. jayzico
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Phillips. Fixtures. +form(ish)

    2. Emiliano Sala
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      J rod

    3. Jolly Good
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Think Jrod has fixtures too ... Is he nailed though?

      Don't want to get someone not nailed with rotations likely.

  15. ZeBestee
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    is anyone out here considering Lukaku as Kane replacement?

  16. Dirty Harry
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Walker situation. Sell value is 5.9 for me so I can take his next drop

    But do I:

    1. Keep and do Peiters > Ake instead
    2. Rose
    3. Baines
    4. Brunt

    Back line is:
    Alonso Walker Holebas Pieters Amat

    1. Hurricane Gilbert
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I like your structure of the defence. It's between 1 or 2 for me. I would probably seize the opportunity and go 2 because Rose is one of the best defenders in the game

      1. Hurricane Gilbert
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        That is because I love goal scoring defenders and Rose carries a huge threat

  17. jayzico
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Sorry for repost. But why heaton/Valdes over THIS>

    Pickford for Mannone. Out to prove himself in a certain relegation team. easy fixtures supermann-one to save the day.

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Sunderland will be missing half their players by next week. Not worth it.

      1. jayzico
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Cool. Good answer.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      If they are a relegation team then no fixtures are easy.

  18. Geoff
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Also have Heaton and Pickford.

    Who is the consensus to move Pickford for, when paired with Heaton?

    Might just go Foster..

    1. Conte Cristo
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Foster, nice fix and has many saves

  19. Rhodes your boat
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Play 2
    Amat, sigurdsson, Evans, capoue

    1. Emiliano Sala
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Evans sig

  20. FPL_Hazards
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Do we expect Mkhitaryan to start?

    1. Emiliano Sala
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Yes

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      You're the gambler, you tell us.

    3. Numb
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I do

    4. JustPark
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      He sure will

  21. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Pondering options. What do you think of this 3-5-2?

    Heaton Pickford
    Alonso Walker Holebas Evans Love
    Sanchez Hazard Eriksen Mkhi Phillips
    Ibra Costa Grabban

    Costa over Kun just makes such a difference to the rest of the team...

    1. Emiliano Sala
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      No sense

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Holebas > Brunt

      1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        This is exact money. I imagine Pogba Brunt is better than Mkhi Evans actually but no rush to do either.

    3. Hurricane Gilbert
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Very good but you definitely need a LIV mid. As sure as Chelsea is keeping CS, LIV will continue to score plenty of goals.

      Also I can't decidd if Phillips + a better defender is better than Origi/Rondon

      1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Probs Coutinho when fit or Firmino again, over Erik/Mkhi or whoever. I'm four transfers away from this team and currently have Origi but speculating.

        I'm in the same boat regarding your last statement.

    4. Balotelli
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Both Haz and Costa is too much In my opinion with Chelsea fixtures in mind. Spend money elsewhere. I'd also ship out Walker.

  22. Heavy Data
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Ok im still a little confused weather Zaha is off to AFCON or not? Is he? Thanks

    1. Emiliano Sala
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      He goes 95%

    2. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Leaves after GW20

      1. Heavy Data
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        awesome cheers. Shame i would of liked him in my team from GW 20

  23. Legomane
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Chadli or Philips?

    1. Hurricane Gilbert
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Phillips more safe as Chadli faces competition from Morrisson.

    2. Emiliano Sala
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Any other options ?

    3. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Personally I prefer the cheaper nailed on option. Chadli on pens when he plays though.

    4. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Cabaye

  24. Hurricane Gilbert
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Wally rising tonight or tomorrow?

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Won't rise for a while.

    2. Emiliano Sala
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I think falls tomorrow

    3. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      You mean Willy

    4. Hurricane Gilbert
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Sorry falling*

  25. Conte Cristo
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Cant decide, whose btter? Alli or Eriksen

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Eriksen. Set pieces and shots.

      1. Differentiator
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        This, just. If Alder is back, may get the odd corner assist too.

        1. Team Cruel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Got one yesterday.

    2. Emiliano Sala
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Alli playin front.

    3. punkINdrublic
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Ali or Eriksen? Tough call
      Mosty people are going to tell you Eriksen and having watched him play I should probably say Eriksen too, because he has looked amazing. But I am probably going to get Ali instead, for these reasons.
      Ali can get points all through out the season I think and has more chance of scoring then Eriksen, where as Eriksen is a bit more patchy if you look at his previous seasons, and probably is more likely the one to enable the goals rather then be scoring them
      Current form, Eriksen is sick but long-term I think Ali will pay off and is a fair bit cheaper

      1. Whazza
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        That last sentence though, Eriksen is the definition of a long-term good fantasy player

  26. Freshy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    How many flare points do I get to Ship Walker for Belli

    1. Differentiator
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Like

    2. The Bandit
      • 15 Years

    The members stats on Sterling say he's only had one assist over the last 4 GWs when he's actually had 3. Are the other stats like goal attempts accurate for him? Any mods?

      Winning a penalty isn't an Opta assist.

      We keep the members area using Opta data rather than the Fantasy Assist used in FPL.

      Official assists only?

      Sigh.

    With Redmond suspended, does it make J. Rod that little bit more assured of gametime?

    Is this a good WC team with the 3 up top? Defense is light but that forward line!
