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.

    gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh

    20 points behind leader with the usual wc36 bb 37 coming up. He has no chips left.

    Get Aguero in for -4 or Benteke/Gab?

    1 week punt and rival has neither players

    safe or -4 balls out?

    1. korbendallas82
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      In a situation like this, Maby gabbiadini or benteke. Sure to start. Aguero has Jesus to rival for time.

  2. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Based just on this week alone who scores more points

    A- Gabbiadini
    B- Afobe

    1. korbendallas82

    Best move this week before WC?

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

      Think I dumped the useless lump before he even played, I was that confident 😆

  5. zizoo10
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 10 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

    1. Bruno Bruno!!
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I have Alderweireld instead of Eriksen but I feel similar to you

    2. Master Kane
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Got the same 4 players. Keeping as I reckon there are points in the derby. Probably bring in Gabbi. But show I captain Gabbi or Kane?

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years

    Ddg
    Valencia* Vertongen Stephens

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

      Eriksen/Jesus > JWP/Costa?

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

        Would give me 4 Soton but 2.1 ITB to upgrade Stephens to 6.2

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

          my draft looks like this

          Caballero • Pick
          Alonso • Bailly • Bavies • Yoshida • Holgate
          Haz • Sanchez • Sane • King • JWP
          Kane • Costa • Gab

  11. Hurricane Gilbert
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Coutinho or Zaha to Josh King this week?

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

      Zaha

    2. E25
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Punt or for the season? Zaha out for me

      1. Hurricane Gilbert
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        For the season! Sanchez coming in next week for the one who I'll be keeping

        1. E25
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Hmm. That's very close imo.
          I'd still lose Zaha but be prepared to be frustrated whatever you do!

  12. E25
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Bottomed
    On a WC... Pick best of these two options.
    Any last minute help would be very much appreciated guys.

    1) DDG + Monreal
    2) Cech + Bailly

    A) Costa + Anichebe (352 playing Josh King every week)
    B) Benteke + Gabbi (343/352 benching headaches)

    1. Donblaster
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      1 and (just) A

      1. E25
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Thanks, was starting to think it was an impossible question

  13. FPL Puppy
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Price changes in about an hour, correct?

    1. E25
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Just over an hour

  14. BLANKET DEFENCE
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Whats the template wildcard at this stage

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

      Eriksen Sanchez Haz Sane King
      Gab Jesus/Costa Kane

      Front 8 anyway.

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

    Choose 2 to bench:

    Baines (CHE), Yoshida (HUL), Brunt (LEI), Maguire (sou), Valencia (SWA)

    1. E25
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Yuck. No AOA?
      Baines, Maguire Brunt I guess... although Valencia likely wont play so Brunt will come in

      1. King Megnus
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        No AOA 🙁
        Currently I have Yoshida, Brunt and Valencia, with Baines to come on if Valencia doesn't play.

        1. E25
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Sorry I mistyped before. Play Yosh Brunt Valencia. Baines off bench seems the best option if you cant make a change?

          1. King Megnus
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            I have no FT, I don't think that a hit is worth it..

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

    yoshida & gabriel

    or

    stephens & blind

    will blind play both in 37?

    1. King Megnus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Y&G
      He won't if Smalling/Jones are back, which is a possibility

    2. E25
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Y&G for me.

  17. mahone24
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    50 points ahead of rival. He has Sanchez but no Son. Do I...
    A/ Cover and bench Son
    B/ Bench Sanchez

    1. E25
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Bench Son. You're not seriously gonna bench Sanchez right?

  18. KISSES
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    New crowd, play JWP or take him out for King

    1. E25
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Out for king for me mate

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

      Play JWP if no WC.

  19. IWR
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Gabbi the captain to go with if chasing? ML leader is 30 in front and won't have him. 90% sure he'll captain Kane.

    1. E25
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Yeah, time to roll the dice. It's a big gamble and could put you further behind but you gotta do it assuming you dont have any major chips over him?

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

        I have BB, and he's all out of chips. Slowly getting my team ready so I'll have a strong bench for 37.

        1. E25
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Hmmm, that complicates it, depending on his team for DGWs - If you have a big upper hand on DGW players I would probably cover with Kane

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

            Thanks mate. Might go with the crowd on Kane.

            I'll be able to build a much stronger team than him as I've got an extra 4m TV as well.

  20. woody3260
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    can we trust Kompany to stay fit? or get otamendi?

    1. E25
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Lol. You can trust Kompany to be fit as much as you can Studge, Woody 😀

    2. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      You can never trust his fitness, only hope. Stones may return soon so it 's all a bit risky isn't it? Willy's probably the best bet tbh.

  21. RoysCallerAnne
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    The pages go by too fast these days, FPL twitter an all bringing in too many RMTers,
    The forum aspect of FFS is broken beyond repair.
    Who remembers the good old days.
    Just sell it to FPL Mark, or just float it on LSE. It makes me sad what this place has become.

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

      Only this bad at this time because of the WCs floating about

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

        But I agree this is pretty bad

      2. E25
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        This.
        Plus a lot of folks just ask for advice without giving any.

    2. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Yup

    3. Jinswick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Last time I checked nobody was forcing you to stay.

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

        Last time I checked, you were posting an RMT . What a surprise.

  22. Old Wulfrunian
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Which one guys?

    Jacupovic
    Valencia Brunt Yoshida
    Alli Sanchez Zaha Siggy
    Kane Benteke Lukaku
    Pickford-Clayton Vertonghen Gibson
    1ft 0.1itb

    A)Siggy+Lukaku->Sane/Coutinho+Gabb/Defoe
    B)Siggy->Arnie/Tadic
    C)Lukaku->Gabb/Defoe

    1. E25
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I'd only bring Arnie in on a 1 wk punt if you're WCing in 36.
      Avoid Defoe and Tadic. Hope that helps

  23. Boetticher
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Who'll get more?

    - Origi away to Watford;
    - Afobe away to Sunderland;
    - Vardy away to West Brom?

    Thank you!

    1. E25
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Would probably go with Afobe, not excited by any though.

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

        My instinct is saying the same. And what do you think of Lukaku's chances against Chelsea?

        Thank you!

        1. E25
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          From a Lpool fan who just watched Benteke come back to visit I think Luk can easily get points vs a chelsea backline without a clean sheet in 11 or so games.

    2. Belalugozi78
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Afobe

    3. korbendallas82
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Vardy. He is a pretty decent choice i think.

  24. For Fuchs Sake
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    GTG or worth a -4 anywhere?

    Grant
    Pieters Holebas Valencia
    Eriksen Sanchez King Alli
    Kaku Gabbi Kun

    Pickford Capoue Chambers Olsson

  25. FPL Puppy
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    WC or not?

    Current team:
    Foster - Heaton
    Alonso - Valencia - Gibson - Yoshida - Robertson
    Alli - Sanchez - King - Eriksen - Zaha
    Kane - Lukaku - Benteke

    WC team:
    PICKFORD - CABALLERO
    Alonso - BAILLY - Stephens - Yoshida - HOLGATE
    Alli - Sanchez - King - Eriksen - HAZARD
    Kane - Lukaku - GABBIADINI

    Will not be able to afford it after tonight's price changes.
    Worth it?
    a) Yes
    b) No

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

      No, don't WC.

    2. Belalugozi78
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      no

  26. camarozz
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Rate my WC team guys.

    Caballero/Pickford

    Alonso,Yoshida,Daniels,Stephens,
    Holgate

    Eriksen,Sane,King,Hazard.Sanchez

    Jesus,Kane,gabbiadini

    Will have to bench Jesus this gw. (Prob won't play)

    What changes should I make. I have 0.5 itb to do Daniels to Bailly for dgw

    1. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Heyyyy! You wildcarded 🙂

      Did you do last minute tonight?

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

      Sane to Albrighton.

      Stephens to Kos of Monreal.

      You need an Arsenal defender and more DGW 37 players.

    3. E25
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I like this quite a bit.
      Jesus is the obvious risk for doubles, but who isnt!

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

    Play one?

    A) Davies
    B) Pieters
    C) Holebas

    1. Man Chest Hair United
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      A

  28. Man Chest Hair United
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Good to go?

    Jaku
    Alonso Blind
    Sanchez Hazard Coutinho Alli king
    Kane(c)gabbi tekke

    Grant Valencia Brunt Friend

    All out attack

    1. Donblaster
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Nice, g2g

    2. E25
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      V nice

  29. Ange Ball
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Taking out Sanchez for a punt. Who should I get in that will score.

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

      Who else have you got?

      1. E25
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        For a punt? Arnie

      2. Ange Ball
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Alli Eriksen Zaha Sane

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

          Form & fixture? King, but if he blanks at least you can say you were wrong for the right reasons. Mahrez is a more leftfield pick, but as punts go he's not bad.

  30. FPL Mentor
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Thoughts on WC draft #1 for GWK37?

    Bench boost active:

    Pickford Caballero
    Alonso Holgate Monreal Walker Yoshida
    Albrighton Pedro Sanchez Sterling Tadic
    Aguero Kane Rashford

    Thoughts?
