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.

    Kane - Jesus - Gabbiadini

    £0.1m ITB

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

      Looks good, many (including myself) are going with Benteke as a 1 week punt though before switching to Jesus.

      Get Dawson out there btw!

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        What's wrong with Dawson?!

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

          He plays for WBA, they aren't even trying anymore

          1. FPL Virgin
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 11 months ago

            It's a DGW punt.

    2. @chapellefpl OR 577TH
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Really dissapointed in this mate!

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Why?

        1. @chapellefpl OR 577TH
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Blind and Jesus rotation risks. Huth? Dawson?

          No Eriksen or Alli!

          1. FPL Virgin
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 11 months ago

            Blind is nailed until Jones or Smalling is back.

            Jesus starts over Aguero. We learnt that from last time.

            Huth and Dawson are for the DGWs and have a few decent fixtures either side.

            A Spurs double/triple up makes no sense unless they have plum home games.

            1. @chapellefpl OR 577TH
              • 9 Years
              8 years, 11 months ago

              Carrick can displace Blind. Trying to second guess pep is not clever. Wait and see with Jesus.

              Huth and Dawson plain bad picks. Better off going Stephens or decent sgw. Spurs are on fire home or away with eriksen and alli raking in the points why do you suddenly think this will stop?

              1. @chapellefpl OR 577TH
                • 9 Years
                8 years, 11 months ago

                Just noticed Coutinho. Did you miss the palace game.?

                I would start again mate.

                1. FPL Virgin
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 9 Years
                  8 years, 11 months ago

                  Appreciate the constructive criticism, thanks.

    3. IWR
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Looks great. Some very nice differentials in there.

      Spurs mid over Cout and a City def over Dawson would be my only suggestions.

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        If Spurs had some juicy home games left, I would double or triple up.

        1. Coaly
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          No to Cout

          1. FPL Virgin
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 11 months ago

            Liverpool are the highest scoring team in the league. I'd rather have a stake in the Watford game than go double Spurs against Arsenal.

            1. Coaly
              • 13 Years
              8 years, 11 months ago

              Unlucky

  14. For Fuchs Sake
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Do we think Aguero will start?

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

      Yep

    2. Chris_White
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      No clue. I think Jesus will start though...

  15. Nazz
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    who to play out of

    1) Pickford and Caballero?

    2) And two from Alonso/Gabriel/Stephens?

    thank youu

    1. Sideways Backwards
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Caballero

      Alonso and Stephens

  16. Buck The Trent
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Help me to bench one ?

    A Davies (ARS)
    B Alonso (eve)
    C Ward (BUR)
    D Yoshida (HUL)
    E Valencia (SWA)
    F Zaha (BUR)

    1. Petr Cech the Table
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      A

      E might not even play.

    2. Sideways Backwards
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Valencia probably won't play

  17. Sideways Backwards
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Is it really possible to bench the highest scoring player in the game?

    Hazard, Sanchez, Eriksen, Sane, King

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

      Has to be him out of those.

    2. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Is that person Sanchez? I am playing Zaha ahead of him this GW.

      1. Sideways Backwards
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Yes, although after this week, Hazard may have overtaken him

    3. WVA
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      King imo

  18. Big_Andy_GAWA
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Hi Guys,

    W/C done. Have had to do Stephens instead of Yoshida so to be able to afford Sanchez. Thoughts? I don't see who else can play central defence other than he & Yosh...

    1. Sideways Backwards
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Depends whether caceres gets a game in the doubles

  19. nkhoughton
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    On a WC, I wanna finalise it before morning

    Cech Pickford
    Alonso Yoshida Holgate Stephens 4.5
    Alexis King Hazard Eriksen Coutinho
    Kane Costa Anichebe

    Thoughts, Suggestions?

    I am tempted to go Gabbiadini until 37 then switch to Costa
    Same with couts to ... in 37

  20. korbendallas82
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    I listened to scoutcast on facebook, while i coldent get onto this site.

    I liked the idea of Pep handing Jesus a start against Middlesbrough. Teerrible form for them, and at same time he can let Aguero get a rest.
    Then in the much tougher Palace game, he can have Aguero fully rested.

    Has enyone bought in Jesus yet? 1.1 % TSB.

  21. ScottyMaz12
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Best option to finish my wildcard team folks?

    a) King & Costa
    b) Sane & Jesus

    1. korbendallas82
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      A. King, Costa.
      King,Jesus?

    2. Sideways Backwards
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      a, but monitor Jesus

  22. Ibracadabra
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    First to three - Lukaku to Kane - Yes or No?

    1. Chris_White
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      yes

    2. woody3260
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      kane

    3. nkhoughton
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      yes

    4. Ibracadabra
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Forgot to add that it is for a -4. I am an idiot. Still make the move?

  23. Sweetboi
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    To (C)?

    a) Kane
    b) Coutinho
    c) King

    1. korbendallas82
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      b.

    2. Petr Cech the Table
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      A

  24. woody3260
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Clueless, any thoughts?

    Caballero
    Baines McAuley Bertrand
    Firmino Coutinho Alli King
    Aguero Lukaku Benteke

    Jaku Walcott Davies Ake

    0.9ITB 2FT?

    1. @chapellefpl OR 577TH
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Baines to yoshida.

  25. Ghost86
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Which is the better pick on WC?

    A) Bailly Coutinho
    B) Alonso Sane

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

      B

  26. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Best move here guys?

    A) Save FT, reassess next week
    B) Son -> Hazard (bench Zaha)
    C) Grant -> Forster/Willy (bench Jaku)
    D) Son & Kaku -> Haz & Kane (-4) (bench Zaha)

    Jaku
    Valencia, Brunt, Stones
    Sanchez, Eriksen, King, Zaha
    Gabbi, Lukaku, Benteke

    Grant, Son, Bavies, Robertson
    Bank 5.0m, 1FT, no Wildcard

    1. mahone24
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Tough. I've got the 3 Spurs conundrum and can't get Kane without getting rid of Son for a hit which I feel could backfire. Its a dull move but maybe C

    2. Tony Moon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      A

  27. zizoo10
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Anyone else have Kane, Alli, Eriksen & Sanchez? It's putting me off and making me want to wc this week instead of next

  28. For Fuchs Sake
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Aguero to Benteke for just this week? WCing next week.

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

      No way.

  29. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Did I bench the right players - http://prntscr.com/f225my ?

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Close between Bavies and Alonso, maybe the latter edges it on goal threat.

    2. Prøfeßör …
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      The consensus earlier was to bench Ward instead of Alonso.

    3. Donblaster
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Nice team. I'd def play Alonso ahead of Davies and maybe even Lingard ahead of Zaha but less sure on that one.

    4. Dušan Citizen
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Cheers all

    5. Ibracadabra
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      bench boost maybe.

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        nah, will save it for dgw

        1. Ibracadabra
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          using mine this week with Pickford, Zaha, Stephens and Chambers all at home and just hoping for one of the 4 to return as in a fierce H2H mini league battle and need the win, but see the logic if a points title is your only concern...

          Up 40 in my points mini league so OK with losing the 5-15 pts extra I would've taken saving it for 37 where I have a weaker H2H opponent.
