As our two Premier League cup competitions reach the last 16 stage, we take a look at some of the key Round Six encounters.

Mark, the open to all cup’s only remaining former winner, saw off hishamkmr by a 20-point margin in Round Five to set up a tie with Cars and Mane.

Mark’s rank of 270 makes him the contest’s highest-placed manager, but his opponent will be no pushover – he’s ranked a mere 326 places behind him and is one of five other top 1,000 managers left in the competition.

Another of this elite group is the 849-placed My Pretty Pony (aka Peter Kouewenberg), who takes on NUFC Fifer,  the contest’s second-highest ranked manager at 279th.

The remaining top 1,000 derby involves the 843-ranked Choppers13 squaring up to Patio Kev, who is 438 places above him.

The open to all cup’s lowest-ranked surviving managers, 256,208-placed The Shaman and K3lviN, who is 392,260 in the world, will be breathing a sigh of relief at avoiding one of those high-fliers.

However, with K3lviN taking on the 30,712-ranked Pilgrim and The Shaman encountering 50,328 rogerbarton, they both still have plenty to do to progress to the quarter-finals.

The full Sixth Round draw can be found here.

Rogerbarton takes the title of giant killer in chief in the Members Cup after seeing off Pukka, who went into Round Five ranked 88th in the world. Placed at the 50,328 mark, Roger faces another tough tie when he meets up with the 15,676-ranked Dr Ennet in the final 16.

With Pukka sent packing, Choppers13 is now the highest-ranked remaining manager as his dream of a cup double remains on track. He has a favourable Round Six clash with the 369,310-placed FrankieTheGent.

Community scribe Kryten was another to emerge victorious from Round Five. He next tackles Cheltnamshire lalala, who, with a rank of 3,177, is 7,963 places ahead of him.

The full Sixth Round draw can be found here.

There is £350 in Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk vouchers up for grabs for the final top three managers in both tournaments.

Good luck to all those involved, and if you would like more information on the schedule and prizes click this link.

      I'd bench Tadic or Zaha, possibly Zaha given you have Benteke playing

        • 9 Years

    8 years, 10 months ago

    Caballero, Pickford
    Alonso, Blind, Gabriel, Yoshida, Holgate
    Sanchez, Hazard, Alli, Sane, King

    WC Team with £0.1m left ITB. I can go to sleep in peace, right?

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Best team I've seen

    2. TaiwanHC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Are Blind, Gabriel and Jesus nailed?

      1. bring_on _the_fantasy
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        blind must be fairly nailed, other two arnt at all, sane looked poor last game

      2. ManUtdFan_UK
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        I'd say Blind is fairly nailed at the moment, the latter two I agree are a worry, but it's a risk I've got to take with the money available!

  4. Dirty Harry
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Downgrade 5th mid Zaha and upgrade Barragan with the following. I have exact money and 2FT

      1. Dirty Harry
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Unfortunately cant afford Bailly then. Would only have 5.4 for a defender (Bailly 5.5)

        Thanks! You don't think 37 is too far off to judge right now in picking a team?

        1. Dirty Harry
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Not at all

          1. Teahupo'o
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

  17. Viper
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Would you start Zaha ahead of any of these?

    Hazard Alli Coutinho King

    Lukaku Kane Gabbiadini

    1. Athletic Nasherbo
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      No

    2. @FPLMason
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Nope

  18. kirwy
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    WC defence so far: Alonso, Stephens, Holgate ... x ... x

    A) Yoshida & Bailly

    B) Gabriel & Blind

    Which one?

    1. @FPLMason
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      B

    2. Vague88
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      A for me, mostly because Mustafi will probably be back for at least part of GW 37 so Gab isnt nailed for both DGWs.

  19. Vague88
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Used wildcard before last GW, and set up to have 16 DGW players for my bench boost in GW 37 while having 6 for GW 36 so had to do Teke -> Gabbi today in case of price rises. My plan barring injuries with my next FTs before the big one is to do Zaha to Pedro and Friend to a Sunderland def, sound good?

    DDG
    Yoshida Bailly Davies
    Sanchez Zaha Alli Hazard
    Gabbi(C) Rashford Kane

    Cech, Redmond, Monreal, Friend
    0FT 1.1 ITB

    Good to go? I really feel like I should be playing Redmond especially as he was rested last week but can't see who I would bench for him any advice would be great. Who would you bench?

  20. @FPLMason
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    A) Benteke + 1.2 for this week
    B) Go directly with Jesus

    On a WC as well

  21. Tickle Me Enzo
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    How's the WC team lookin'? Appreciate any feedback!

    Pickford Caballero
    Alonso Daniels Yoshi Huth Holgate
    Sanchez Hazard All King Zaha
    Kane Gabbi Tekkers

    1.6 ITB, will FT Benteke > Jesus GW 36

  22. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    So no one is captaining Aguero?

    I keep shifting it between him and Kane..

  23. A Betting Man
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Is Lukaku > Benteke for -4 silly?

    Ahead of Sig > Arnautovic

  24. Rinseboy
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Chances of Sterling starting this week?!

    Really don't know whether to bench and play Zaha!

  25. MartialMatas
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Best 1 week punt before WC
    A) Martial
    B) Kun
    C) Coutinho

  27. Nazz

  28. Sune

    Bench one

    A) Zaha
    B) King
    C) Coutinho
    D) Sané
    E) Alli

  29. Burger

    • 10 Years

    Final wildcard cut:

    Caballero, Cech
    Gabriel, Kompany, Yoshida, Stephens, Alonso
    Hazard, Ozil, Eriksen, King, Coutinho
    Gabbiadini, Kane, Vardy

    Any areas to improve?

    1. dhamphiir
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Kompany to Bailly

      1. Burger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Could be tempting, ta.

  30. Ibracadabra
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Bench Boost A (35) will certainly lag Bench Boost B (37) but not significantly. Would you play this in 35 knowing it is a vital H2H mini-league match with rival, even though in overall points it may lag about 4-12pts?

    35: ZAHA (H Burnley); Pickford (H BOU); Stephens (H Hull); Chambers (H Boro)

    37: ZAHA (H Hull); Pickford (Swa, Ars); Stephens (boro, United); Chambers (H SOU).

    The difference is 6 games versus 4 games if Pickford Stephens play both in the double. Worst case a loss of 12 points, best case a loss of 4 points...
