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.

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

Good luck to those still involved and if you would like more information on the schedule and prizes click this link. Due to the busy festive fixtures, the competition will not take place in Gameweek 20, with the quarter-finals to be played out in Gameweek 21.

    This is a boring transfer, but...

    With Kone leaving soon, I'm looking at the sideways (in funds) transfer to either Nyom or Chambers. I prefer Nyom due to WBA's fixtures, but is it certain that he isn't going to AFCON or going to get punished for not going?

    I'd hate to bring him in only to see him not play for a month.

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

      Don't knew about him acon but Nyom for me

    2. Helia
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Nyom

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

      Id say chambers. Nyom has refused to go to AFCON so FIFA might step in & impose a ban.

      1. BananaNose Maldonado
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Cheers. That's why I'm reluctant. I might just sit on it until things get sorted and deal with a possible Kone drop and Nyom rise.

    If you had to sell one of Evans or Holebas which one? (Selling Evans frees a 3rd WBA spot for Rondon if wanted)

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

      Evans

      1. Tansey

        Low self-confidence eh?

      2. Evans

      Holebas is on 8 bookings if that helps.

    3. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Holebas, turning into a bit of a liability

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

      Even when Holebas got 2 assists he managed to spoil it with a yellow. I flogged him and got Aké as my fourth def.

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

        I'm probably doing Holebas>Ake before this GW

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

      Holebas! I cant wait to get rid of him. Keeps getting booked. 2 more YC & its 2 match ban

    what ye think of this lot?;
    valdes, love, kone, hull-dawson, de roon, leko, winks, carrick, coq, mahrez, anichebe, batshuayi, negredo, rondon, origi

    all owned by somone in current top 5 in the world

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

      Not the same person I would guess? 😉

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

        no but they've an average of 3 each. just goes to show your bench means nowt. top 10 as a lot of really really random players

        1. Get up ya bum
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          It means nowt until it means a lot.
          They are top 10 until they aren't.

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

            well i can't argue with that 🙂

            yeah it'll probably catch up with them, but maybe not, never know

            1. Get up ya bum
              • 16 Years
              9 years, 3 months ago

              🙂 I've gotten away with not needing my awful bench. Pity my first 11 returns are awful too 😡

    2. Evans
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Probably as bench fodder ...see winks , Carrick , coq etc

    3. noquarternt

      Got Leko in a while ago, glad I'm in esteemed company.

  5. The Bandit

    9 years, 3 months ago

    Computer noob question again

    I transferred a load of albums from my Windows Media library (yes, I know but I like it) onto a USB stick for my car but when I use it half of the files are missing. When I put it back into my PC they are all still there. Some were CD rips, some purchased downloads and some were torrent downloads. Some are mp3, some mp4 and some wma but there is no pattern, ie some of every source and type of files work and some don't. Any suggestions? Nothing too complicated though 🙂 Any help appreciated

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

      Aargh I've had problems with this before, on my hi-fi. Like you say the files are still there, it's just choosy about which it plays. I think I decided it had to be to do with the software on the USB sticks themselves, never did find a solution though. 🙁

    2. Get up ya bum
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Probably just audio codec's that are incompatible. Fairly sure same file types can use different codec's. I have the same issue playing certain video files from usb on my telly.
      No easy fix.

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

      Oh well, cheers anyway gents

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

      Get some software that can convert from one format to another, and use that so they're all the same. And maybe a new car. And stop drinking and eating so much.

      1. The Wise Owl
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        This. Aside from the drinking bit, do what you like it's Christmas.

        1. Pasqualinho
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          It's WR we're talking about. I didn't tell him to stop drinking, just not so much. These quantities would kill a horse.

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

            I've not had a drop today 😀

    5. The Wise Owl
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Is there a correlation between the files playing and the file type? I'm pretty sure what files don't work on every audio player.

      1. The Wise Owl
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Wma

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

        Nope, some of every type work and some don't

    @Mark

    What is your position on buying Aguero?

  7. Klopp For The Kopps 😆
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Boro is Stubborn,
    So Ibra will Suffer.
    So Captain :
    A) Hazard
    B) Costa
    C) Sanchez

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

      C

    2. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      C, I captained Sanchez first and changing my captain usually ends in tears due to overthinking.

      1. Klopp For The Kopps 😆
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        I also captained Sanchez first but really tempted by CHE assets after LIV vs STK game.

        1. We Will Klopp you
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Hmm, Costa could go crazy but Chelsea have also looked content with 1-0 victories in recent weeks. Sanchez vs a poor Palace defence isn't something I'd pass on though.

  8. Moose™
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Repost sorry.

    Foster

    Alonso Ake Nyom

    Sanchez Hazard Siggy Snoddy

    Zlatan (C)osta Kane

    Sub: Jaku Amat Fletcher Chambers

    GTG?

    1. Evans

        Cheers.

      2. Moose™
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Might switch him to Phillips. But, I am just keeping for the whole season bar injuries.

    2. leocarter27
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Doing the same gw 21. Looks good

    3. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 9 Years

      Planning ahead that far and keeping Snodgrass in your squad?

  9. Helia
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    A) walcott, kane > sanchez, 8.7 (giroud, rondon, etc)
    B) walcott, kane > sterling, aguero

    Foster
    Alonso, koscielny, vvd
    Hazard, eriksen, sigurdson, walcott

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

    Gonna get both over 2 weeks but who to get first

    JROD or Philips.

    coincidently they play each other

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

      drop J.rod

  11. leocarter27
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Wanted to get opinions on these transfers for gw 20? 2 FT'S

    Carroll -> Costa
    Payet -> Chadli

    ? Thanks

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Nice transfers but would rather have Cabaye/Phillips than Chadli

  12. Jönny
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    So, do we think Walcott will drop tonight?

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

      96% on fpl stats

      1. Jönny
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Looks likely then eh?

        Lallana in? Been looking for a more radical/Exciting alternative for 8.0 or less, but can't find one...

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

          Sterling ?

  13. We Will Klopp you
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Which transfer would you do first? Don't really want to take an 8 point hit in defence.

    A. Ake for Pieters
    B. Brunt for Cedric
    C. Neither

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

      C neither for a hit

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        If not I have to play Gibson away to United.

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

      b

    3. Moves like Dejagah
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I like B

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        For a hit

  14. Chicken-Mandy
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Can't afford Pickford to Heaton without taking a hit. Should I get a different GK ( if so, who ) or wait a week and get Heaton in?

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

      How much to spend ?

      1. Chicken-Mandy
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        4.7. Not set on the hit after the last few weeks I've had. Considering saving the transfer to give me the option of getting aguero

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

          Foster ?

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

      take a hit, chicken

    3. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I would just take the hit, worst case scenario it is only -2 unless he gets an unexpected card/goes off injured. With save points good chance you will make it back

    4. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      No for a hit. Make a trade and save some money in the bank. If Heaton gets 2 points you're -2 behind. He needs to score 4+ to make it worth it. I wouldn't.

      1. Chicken-Mandy
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Thx all. Maybe I should get valses, but Heaton is clearly the best value GK. How can a keeper get 3 bps from making just 2 saves!

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

          Heaton is a beast, I'm taking courtois out for him so I can bring in pedro along side haz and Alonso

  15. CREAM
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    So ibra is most popular captain for this week...

    1. Moose™
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Costa for me. Enough rest and raring to go.

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

        he will get 1 no more

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

      Mainly those who missed him last week points chasing, the cool kids are on Chelsea or Sanchez 😉

      1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        I'm on Hazard ; )

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

          hazard his on fire but costa takes his shine a bit.

          1. Kiwivillan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            Hazard has been crap. 21pts in the last 5 games before last week's 10pts 2 goals 0 assists in 6 games!

            1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 3 months ago

              Have you watched him play?

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

        true, I had ibra captain lapped up them points.. I almost went back to ibra seeing everyone take him now you change me mind again haha

  16. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    .......and the dead zone awakens.......

  17. RVP fc
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Made the decision to hold Kane. Saving the transfer to bring aguero back next week. Looking forward to costas and lukakus braces to completely alter my plans

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

      This

    2. James101
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Ha. Lukaku is actually petty tempting.

      1. RVP fc
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Looked at trying to get him in as a third striker but just think you lose too much flexibility in midfield. I do think he will score well. I won't be enjoying that match tomorrow

  18. James101
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Gtg?

    Grant.
    Ake. Alonso. Jones.
    Eriksen. Hazard. Siggy. Sanchez (vc).
    Costa. Ibra(c). Origi.

    Subs. Pickford. Phillips. McAuley. Francis.

    ...it'd be madness to take a -8 hit to upgrade Pickford and downgrade a defender, right?

    Eg Pickford to Heaton (so I don't get 0-2pts from grant) and jones to holegate or someone.

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

    GW20 i am looking at transferring out Siggy for Phillips as West Brom have Hull and Siggy's fixtures go down hill in GW21. It means that i am left with 1.9 itb and could upgrade Coquelin to a 6.2 midfielder or upgrade Holebas to a 6.5 defender or Amat to a 6.0 defender. Team currently looks like

    Heaton/Pickford
    Alonso/Holebas/Amat/Ake/Brunt
    Sanchez/Can/Siggy/Lallana/Coquelin
    Aguero/Ibrahimovic/Costa

    Peoples thoughts please? Thanks

    1. RVP fc
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I would upgrade coquelin to cabaye

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

        Cabaye?? Thats quite an interesting thought. What makes you say that?

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

      Siggy to Phillips and then upgrade Can. Rest looks great, wish I could get this team.

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

        I want to upgrade Can as Arsenal have better fixtures but i cant help feeling that Can will play more with Mane off and Cout out injured, dont you think? Or is that just wishful thinking. He played well in the games he played 90 minutes.

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

          I feel like either Can or Coquelin will just stay as bench fodder with the remaining 8 playing every week so its more money efficient to have the cheaper Coquelin instead

    Jeez, selling Eriksen in a -4 for Walcott last week (to fund Costa > Ibra) while keeping Origi has really screwed me for this week.

    Now I have 1 FT to sort out Walcott and Origi :S Losing 0.1m on Wally tonight.

    Solution:
    i) ditch Walcott.
    ii) ditch Origi.
    iii) -4
