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.

    is monreal the best def of arsenal to go for?

    1. Lav
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      If money isnt an issue Kosc. When fit Mustafi. Then Monreal.

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

      He is in this system.

    3. Eddie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Yes, for as long as they keep playing three at back, though might get rotated with Gibbs. Kos most nailed.

    4. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      He's not worth £5.8m if he's playing LCB.

      1. Eddie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        LCB?

        1. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Left Center Back. Monreal started there on Wednesday. Moved to LB when Gibbs went off and they switched formation.

          1. Eddie
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 11 months ago

            I didn't realise this. What? In place of Kos?

            1. Eddie
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              8 years, 11 months ago

              Gab or Holding? I completely missed this game.

            2. Rainer
              • 9 Years
              8 years, 11 months ago

              Bellerin Gabriel Kosc Monreal Gibbs

              Is how they started. Welbeck came on for Gibbs and they switched back to 4.

              1. Eddie
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 13 Years
                8 years, 11 months ago

                Thanks Rainer, appreciated. What's your predicted lineup going forward? Or is it anyones guess?

    5. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Have a sneaky feeling that Gibbs will be in DGW37. Not sure you need an Arsenal defender for DGW36.

    6. Nigawan
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Gambling with Gabriel for me. HAHA

  2. Lav
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

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

    3.5 ITB 2 FT

    Anichebe to Gabbi

    6.4 for Gibson replacement. Who to get?

    1. Nigawan
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Probably someone cheap like stephans then upgrade aniche to Gabi ?

      1. Lav
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Anichebe to Gabbi is done

        6.4 ITB need a Gibson replacement

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

    RMWCT?

    DDG Caballero
    Alonso Blind Daniels Yoshida Holgate
    Hazard Eriksen King Coutinho Alli
    Kane Gabb(c) Benteke

    3.2 itb

    1. Lav
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Great. Teke to Jesus and Sanchez in for 37?

      1. VFORVANDETA
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        yep.

    2. Pariße
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Is Blind a guaranteed starter?

  4. Bill Car
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Excuse me gents, what time are price rises?

    1. Lav
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      35 minutes

      1. Bill Car
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Thank you kindly sir

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

      Changes are around 02-10 bst

  5. Geri-hatricks
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Best one week punt before my WC?:

    A) Gabbiadini (HUL)
    B) Sane (mid)
    C) Shaqiri/Arnautovic (WHU)
    D) Any other 6.6m FWD or 7.9m MID

    1. That Was Easy!
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Surely A and you'll keep him anyways, he'll likely rise. I really like C though.

      1. Geri-hatricks
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Yeah, will definitely have Gabbi in my WC so I'm leabing him. Will have Sane too but scared hes due a rest.

        Stoke player vs West Ham at home os tempting though, love a differential. Probably not the smartest move with TV in mind though!

        1. Nigawan
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Agreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

    2. Lav
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      A

    3. janowsc
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      A for sure

    4. Rex Lapis
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      A

  6. That Was Easy!
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Which one to bench? ML leader has Hazard, no Sanchez.

    A. Sanchez
    B. Hazard
    C. JWP
    D. Eriksen

    1. janowsc
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Jwp

    2. Lav
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      C

  7. janowsc
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Grant or Heaton this week? Cheers

    1. Lav
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Heaton

    2. Nigawan
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      i dont think grant plays anymore

  8. Eddie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    For this week only, Sane or Coutinho or other 9 mil mid and why?

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

      Coutinho 100% or Firmino because Sane may be rotated with City attacking options and having already played two grueling games this week.

      1. Eddie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Yeah, I'm just thinking that City could run riot over boro and Watford could be surprisingly resilient. But your right, Cout or Firm for security of start.

    2. janowsc
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Both are great options imo, points look very likely from both

  9. Mickey Tyrion™
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Wildcarding tomorrow.. and leading by 34 in ML. I have BB. Rival has TC and BB.

    A . Bench Negredo and play Zaha.
    B. Bench Zaha and do Negredo > Gabbi for -4?

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

      A

      1. Mickey Tyrion™
        • 10 Years

        Thanks. Needed that.

  10. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Just want this GW to get started to forget the horror of last GW. Completely knocked the stuffing out of me for the season with a 3.5m GW rank.

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

      Ouch! Bad luck mate, it was a tortuous week for sure.

      1. fedolefan
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        So many regrets. Was that close to getting DDG & Benteke. Decided on Rash instead, which also ruled out DDG since I was maxed on United. Such fine margins.

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

          My transfers stank but I was lucky with what I already had in place, for once they did their job 😆

  11. semiconductor

    1. FPL Puppy

  14. FPL Puppy
    • 10 Years

    Good WC moves?

    Foster -> Pickford
    Heaton -> Caballero

    Gibson -> Stephens
    Robertson -> Holgate
    Zaha -> Hazard
    Benteke -> Gabbiadini

        any suggestions ?

  16. DeadStarComing
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    I really don't know what to make of Lukaku this week with the likes of Gabbiadini available. Lukaku has been great at home this season but has never scored against Chelsea in the league. What are most people's thoughts on him this week?

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

      Holding for this one, fancy goals, open game etc... then he becomes Costa.

      1. Eddie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Someone just mentioned best home defence against best away defence.

        I'm thinking Lukaku's home form vs Lukaku's big team form.

        Really undecided whether to ship him or not. Captaining him last week is still hurting.

        1. Captain Phillips
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Tell me about it! 🙁

    2. janowsc
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      I'm keeping, don't think his departure from my team is worth a hit, plus WC next week. I have a feeling he'll be up for the game, could bag a goal for sure.

    3. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      I'm doing the "attacker vs Middlesbrough" tactic:

      Lukaku > Jesus this week
      Benteke > Costa next week

      Everton playing Watford at home in GW37 is my only pause for concern.

      1. Captain Phillips
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        So you reckon Jesus will start? I am so keen to do Kaku to Jesus!

    4. Captain Phillips
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Him and a few other have single handedly ruined me this year, but bias aside, I genuinely can't see him doing anything against Chelsea, even at home! btw I'm a current kaku owner, which hurts even more!

    5. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Good player. I'd sooner have Costa on the away team though.

    6. DeadStarComing
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Cheers all. Some good thoughts but i'm still confused. I'm trying to think what would frustrate me more - getting rid and him scoring a goal or two or not changing to Gabbi and him getting a goal or two.

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

        I'm a Lukaku owner as well but really thinking about selling him. Everton's home form has been great but the only top team they've played in that run was Man City.

        Southampton
        City
        Bournemouth
        Sunderland
        WBA
        Hull
        Leicester
        Burnley.

  17. Baconfaen
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    wc team, ready to go or any tips for chasing 80 points (1.8 itb to maby go Jesus to Costa if he doesnt get any time before 37)

    Caba - (Pick)
    Yoshi - Smith - Kelly - (Gabriel - Holgate)
    King (vc) - Alli - Sane - Hazard (Sanchez)
    Kane - Gabbi (c) - Jesus

    Taking a chance on Jesus and only got 2 def with 2x gw but decent fix on the 3 others + King.

    And no idea who to bench this week so im at Sanchez atm

  18. Teahupo'o
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    WC activated. Current team. Thinking of sticking and taking a hit next week for Jesus/Costa. Thoughts?

    Willy Pickford
    Alonso Yoshida Stephens Holgate Gabriel
    Hazard Alli Eriksen Sane Sanchez
    Benteke Kane Gabbiadini

  24. That Was Easy!
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Monreal + Stephens or Yoshida + Gabriel?

    I'm leaning towars the former for safety.

  25. Pariße
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Who is actually nailed in the City attack?

    1. Geri-hatricks
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      KdB maybe?

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Not even KDB, GW27 showed us that.

        Only nailed players are Willy & Kompany.

        1. Pariße
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          I think that's more like it unfortunately.

    2. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Sane

    3. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      Jesus, Sané, KdB and Silva when all fit.

        Eeek! I have Davies on the bench

      I think 3-1 Spurs too.

      4-2

      Last game at WHL, a lot can happen.

    Are Rashford and Valencia pretty much guaranteed not to start?

      Likely but not guaranteed. Especially Valencia as he's had a few rests already recently

      I'm gonna disagree with everybody on here.

      Last nights draw means that United now have two routes into CL football next season...either through the EL or the PL...

      Mourinho now has more to think about than he did before last nights game... 50/50

      The uncertainty over him is killing me. So much so, that I think he needs booted

      As a Tony V holder I'm resigned to a no show. I'd be concerned about Rash's minutes, but he should at least feature.

    Lukaku to Jesus for a -4?

    Chasing a 27 point lead in my ML. Opponent has Lukaku.

      THIS!!! I reckon I'm just going to do it, I've realized that fortune favors the bold in this game, I'd rather take initiative than hope for someone potentially doing something...

        I'm without a WC and 99% sure I'd want to do the move next week anyway. Keen

    Is Stephens (Southampton) nailed or shall i just go for Youshida?

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

      Caceres has yet to test the pecking-order so we don't know. If it's seniority then Yoshi is more nailed.

        Thanks, I might wait for a week then and see

    WC active. Think double Ars and Sou will pay off in 36-37? Better suggestions?
