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.

    2 questions from me.

    1. Do you think Lingard will start?

    2. Should I do Davies to Blind (would take a hit to bring some mid or striker then also)?

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

      1. Yes I think so
      2. No don't take a hit.

    2. DaveZubie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      1) Yes
      2) Don't take hits for defenders (as a normal rule) - so no

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

      I'm considering this for a hit. It may be my frustration from last week coming out - I nearly spent 4 points doing Lukaku to Benteke but resisted.

    2. Dannyb
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I'm so close to that move myself, would allow me to either swap Negredo for Jesus, or Son to De Bruyne. HELP!!!!!!!!

  6. FirminoIsBetterThanYou

    Want a Defender under £5.5m, I've got Davies, Mawson & Chambers, any suggestions?

  16. zizoo10

    8 years, 10 months ago

    anyone with only wc/bb wcing this week instead of next? doing it a week early means i can get king, sane, soton defenders on field instead of siggy,chambers, robertson,etc.

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

      I´m wc ing now

    2. Prøfeßör …
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      The difference is only a few hours. Most will WC straight after the 2pm deadline.

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

      My team looks a lot better this week with a WC for this week and I can't see it being much different if I did in GW36.

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

      Plans always go a different way.

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

        yeah i know but want to see how jesus fairs over the next 2 gw's and coutinho i think worth over sane this week

        1. Sideways Backwards
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Can you afford those switches?

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

            yes can afford
            coutinho > sane and tekkers > jesus

            1. Sideways Backwards
              • 10 Years
              8 years, 10 months ago

              Ah yes, I have similar but blind in defence makes those out of reach for me.

              Maybe I need a rethink

    3. Sideways Backwards
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Like it. Who are you benching this week?

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

        not sure was actually thinking hazard/sanchez

        1. Sideways Backwards
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Similar dilemma, I'm thinking Eriksen or Sanchez

    4. zizoo10
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      no to gab, mustafi will be back

      1. Zizou

  18. Jimmers
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Plan to have Sanchez for his 2 DGW's. Should I get him in this week or hold on to Coutinho for one more week?

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

      Would hold cout.

    2. Chris_White
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Hold for sure

    3. DeadStarComing
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Hold. Coutinho has a good fixture and Sanchez has a tough one.

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

      Evans to. Holgate.

  25. Petr Cech the Table
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Pickord
    Valencia - Stephens - Robertson
    Sanchez - Zaha - Alli - Sane
    Lukaku - Kane (C) - Origi

    (A) Origi --> Gabbiadini
    (B) Valdez --> Cech
    (C) Lukaku --> Jesus/Costa

    Which 2 to do? No WC so be keeping them for DGW.

    (D) Or do all 3 for -4

    1. Petr Cech the Table
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Bench is Valdez - Ben Davies - Holgate - De Roon

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

      i'm in the same boat 🙂
      negredo to gabbi
      lukaku to jesus
      valdes to willy
      2 ft 🙂
      can't decide
      but i'm leaning towards gabbi and jesus
      what do u think?

      1. Petr Cech the Table
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        I don't want to miss out on the Jesus points and price rise (assuming he does well) but I am concerned he doesn't start.

        I can wait for Cech next week since I will play Pickford, so definitely will do Origi --> Gabbiadini but not sure which other one.

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

          me too will do negredo to gabbi
          but no need to cech this week
          you either save the other transfer or get jesus

  26. EWH2020
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Start Son? Or do you think he will start on the bench? He changed the game when he came on mid week

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

    front 8
    sanchez alli hazard king zaha
    lukaku kane gabbiadini
    who to bench?

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

      Zaha

  28. JÆKS ⭐
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    What's going on with all the Blind love seriously, the guy hasn't started a game since gw 25 before he played both games in 34 and now all of the sudden he is the most nailed on ManUtd defender? 😀

    1. Petr Cech the Table
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Rojo, Smalling and Jones are injured.

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        The only thing that changed is the Rojo injury though. Smalling and Rojo back soon, so one of them will replace Blind is what I would think?

    2. Sweetboi
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Given the state of their defence, yes.

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

      Love is Blind

  29. Dr Kenneth Noisewater
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Consensus thus far is C - doth thou agree??:

    A) Cech - Darmian - Sane
    B) Cech - Kompany - Herrera
    C) Caballero - Blind - Sane
    D) Caballero - Kompany - Walcott/Pedro

    Edging towards B or D as I already have Valencia, but I feel like Sane is the better choice of mid-priced mids.

    Rest of team:

    Pickford - *****
    Valencia - Vertonghen - Yoshida - Stephens - *****
    Sanchez - Hazard - Alli - **** - JWP
    Aguero - Kane - Anichebe

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

      Nah both big rotation risks. D with either. Probably just lean Pedro

    2. Petr Cech the Table
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Yeah C

      Maybe do Valencia --> Arsenal defender next week.
