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 have a theory that chelsea are going to rotate their defenders at DGW and conte is going to choose terry or ake, or maybe both to play at least one of wba or watford. It's terry's last games at the team and Ake has been outstanding at the FA cup semi final. Maybe cahill and azpi to drop out?? Depends on the title race of course.

    What are your thoughts on chelsea's defenders in DGW 37?

    1. Zareos
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Alonso for me, the rest as you say could be rotated for Terry in his final games.

    Bench ONE from:

    Sanchez (TOT A), Eriksen (ARS H), Zaha (BUR H), King (SUN A), Rashford (SWA H), Costa (EVE A), Kane (ARS H)

    1. Man Chest Hair United

      1. rogerbarton

        I think you're right, though I have a funny feeling Sanchez might blank again...

    2. jam

      Rashford. Last 20 mins probably.

    3. FF Dirtbag

    Time to use my AOA with this squad?

    Pickford - Cech
    Alonso - Bailly - Yoshida - Stephens - Gibson
    Haz - Alli - Alexis - King - Zaha
    Benteke - Kane - Gabbiadini

    If I play AOA I will bench Stephens, Gibson and Alonso I think.. If I don´t play the chip I have no idea on who to bench.

  6. upforgrabs

    Bench one:
    Sánchez
    Alli
    Sané
    King

      Sane, gone off the boil and serious competition for minutes

    3. FF Dirtbag
      • 14 Years

      Sane

    Pickford
    Valencia Stephens Robertson
    Hazard(C) Alli Eriksen King
    Lukaku Kane(VC) Benteke

    Valdes JWP Holgate Gibson

    Should I save or do Valdes to Caballero?
    Any other moves?

  8. Lav
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Desperate for help here, have got no answers today.

    Plan is Sanchez in GW37

    Henn (Pick)
    Alonso Bailly Yoshi (Gibson Holgate)
    Hazard Alli Eriksen Zaha King
    Kane Lukaku (Anichebe)

    3.5 ITB 2 FT

    Who goes this week?

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

      Lukaku to gabbi? This week, anichebe to Jesus next. But then no money for Sanchez. Assume you don't have wc?

  9. rocky7st
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Cech/Caballero
    Alonso/Blind/Monreal/Yoshida/Stephens
    Sanchez/Hazard/Eriksen/King/Ndidi
    Kane/Jesus/Gabbiadini

    How does that WC look, BB GW37 and option to change King to Sane

  10. Sergeant Garcia
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    How does this look?

    Jaku
    Pieters Valencia Alonso (Byram, Gibson)
    Sanchez Alli Sané Arnautovic (Grosicki)
    Benteke Lukaku Kane

    Anything worth a hit?
    A) Gibson > Blind, and start him ahead of Pieters
    B) Sanchez > Firmino/Coutino

  11. TeddiPonza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Pretty happy with this WC team. Thoughts?

    Cech Pick
    Nacho Blind Vertongen Evans Stephens
    JWP Alexis Hazard Sané King
    Kane Costa Gabbi

    TC Alexis in 36 and BB in 37. Might trade King for DGW player then.

    Thoughts?

    1. adey70
      • 15 Years

      NICE!

    2. jam
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Blind might let you down if Jones or Smalling return.

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

        Can have Bailly

        1. jam
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          More reliable I think.

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

    Alonso Davies Valencia Evans Kelly

    Who to play? Alonso Valencia Kelly? Or should Davies get a look in?

  13. Bullet Eder
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Who to captain?

    A. King (sun)

    B. Kane (ARS)

    Valencia owners - shipping or keeping?

    1. andy85wsm

      • 15 Years

      Keeping but not expecting him to play 🙂

        this

    2. Sergeant Garcia
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Not sure... It's never been more stressfull to watch the ManU teamsheets since owning him...

    3. dra_mit
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I think to get rid of and go -4.
      Looks like Mourinho will give him a rest

      1. Sergeant Garcia
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        I'm thinking the same. Gibson or Byram to sub in and trust neither...
        Who'd you get?

        1. dra_mit
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

    1. Junior ⚽

      Arnie

  20. Junior ⚽
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Bench 2 players.

    Alonso (eve)
    Pieters (WHU)
    Walker (ARS)

  21. My Pretty Pony
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Please help - price changes, 12:15am or 1:15am? Any clear indicators of risers or fallers beyond the FPL statistics predictions?

  22. cuppatea78
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    I'm think of bringing Gabbiadini in for Kun so I can bring in Sanchez next week ready for his 2 double game weeks. This would also allow.me.to bring in another double game week player if I wanted as I'd have enough money spare.

    A) Yah
    B) Nah

  23. Junior ⚽
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    A) Lukaku
    B) Aguero -4

  24. Old Wulfrunian
    • 9 Years

    Do you think Pva will start?

    1. Junior ⚽
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      50/50

    2. FF Dirtbag
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Yes

  25. Chicken-Mandy
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    not great options but who do i start between these:

    holgate (chelsea home)
    fernandez ( man utd away )
    gibson ( man city home )

  26. Totti
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    2 FT plz choose 2

    A) valdes to caballero ( own pickford )
    B) negredo to gabbi
    C) lukaku to jesus

    1. FF Dirtbag
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Just B for now. Save the FT for next week.

    2. Krafty Werks
      • 11 Years

      AB

  27. andymck
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Chances of Valencia starting this week?

    1. FF Dirtbag
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      They haven't got many defenders. So think he will start imo

      1. Sergeant Garcia
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Darmian, Young & Shaw could line up on the backs, so wingbacks enough.

  28. mcrayeps
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    If i do wildcard
    1. can i get advantage on price increase? If i buy at monday and he gain 0.2 price increase, and i sell him again, can i get 0.1 from him?
    2. If i sold a player at monday, and his price drop the other day, what price will i get if i buy him again after drop?

  29. bojack
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    If you were in the dubious position of owning Origi would you sell for a -4 to Gabbiadini or retain for Watford (a) in the hope he plays?

    1. Sergeant Garcia
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      He'll play, so I'd keep.

    2. FF Dirtbag
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Keep.

  30. dra_mit
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Who would you have on the bench?
    A. Heaton vs. CRY
    B. Jakupovic vs. SOU

    1. FF Dirtbag
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Bench heaton

    2. mcrayeps
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I do B
