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.

  4. Pariße

    9 years, 1 month ago

    No United coverage and A would mean a benching headache in GW36, however United have 3 away games after this GW along with a more important game on Thursday.
    A) Monreal & Alli
    B) Bailly & Özil

    1. Lav
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      A

  5. Lav

    Please help. Dropping Gibson, 6.4 ITB. Current defense:

    Alonso Bailly Yoshi Holgate

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Not worth using a FT if you can start A, B & Y.

      1. Lav
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Is going to drop in price and I want to get rid

        1. CloudSky
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          WCing next week?

          1. Lav
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            No WC available

            1. CloudSky
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Monreal would be my pick then.

        2. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Kompany / Daniels for a punt.

          Monreal if no WC.

          1. Lav
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Monreal it is

  6. VFORVANDETA
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Bench 1?

    Hazard
    Eriksen
    King
    Coutinho
    Alli
    Kane
    Gabb
    Benteke.

    1. Prison Mike
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Probably one of Alli/Erik couldn't call which though!

    2. DeadStarComing
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Tough call. Alli for me as you have enough Spurs cover.

    3. enrico.palazzo
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Alli

  7. Prison Mike
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    T.Carroll -> King (-4)

    It would mean benching one of Lukaku/Sanchez

    Yay or Nay ?

    1. enrico.palazzo
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      No. Especially if you have a wc

  8. camarozz
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Guys in losing my mind here. I'm using my WC and I hit wildcard button,pick new squad and then I press make transfers and it only allows me cancel WC again and not confirm . If tried 4 times now.

    1. nkhoughton
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      You need to make enough transfers to incur a hit, then you activate wildcard then go to transfer them out like a normal transfer

    2. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Move the screen up/down

  9. nkhoughton
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Who would you captain?

    Kane
    Gabbiadini
    Alexis
    Hazard
    King
    Couts

    1. Mini Mane Mo
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      King atm...tempted to go with Kane as Kos might not play

    2. VFORVANDETA
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Gabbiadini

    3. Prøfeßör …
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Kane.

    4. enrico.palazzo
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'm going either Kane or KDB, whoever I tf in

      1. nkhoughton
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I'd get Kane over kdb

        1. enrico.palazzo
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah seems to be the vote. Thanks for reply mate

  10. Pigeon
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Lukaku to Gabbi in gw36 or stick? Have Benteke and Kane.

  11. CloudSky
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Anything worth a hit guys?

    De Gea
    Alonso Valencia Davies
    Zaha Eriksen Coutinho Sigy
    Kane Lukaku Gabbi

    Pickford Robertson TCarroll Amat

    6mil itb. Wc intact.
    Was thinking of TCarroll to Haz, King or KDB but dont know if its worth a hit? Would bench Sigy then. Captaincy currently between Gabbi and Kane.

    1. Mini Mane Mo
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Valencia might be rested for EL

      1. CloudSky
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Robertson can cover that.

  12. pls
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Since price changes may affect my wildcard for next game week would you do

    Lukaku > gabbi

    Since Gabbi is most likely gonna rise?

    1. MartialMatas
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Thats what I just did

    2. nkhoughton
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Gabbi will rise is by 2:15

  13. MartialMatas
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    RMT says kane to get most points in my team but to captain gabbiadini?

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Hedging bets 😛

    2. enrico.palazzo
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Kane loves a derby

    3. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Harry's got 45pts in his last 3 home PL starts...

  14. Prøfeßör …
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Different crowd.

    Which one would you start with?
    (A) J.Ward (BUR)
    or
    (B) Alonso (eve)

    Thanks,

    1. enrico.palazzo
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers!

        I'm using AOA but I'll end up playing both if Valencia is rested.

  15. LobsFF
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Please help with major benching dilemma with my front 8 after wc...

    Eriksen ARS (H)
    King SUN (A)
    Sanchez TOT (A)
    Sane MID (A)
    Hazard EVE (A)
    Gabbiadini HUL (H)
    Benteke BUR (H)
    Kane ARS (H)

    Wish I could play AOA but since I can't, who do I bench?

    A. Sanchez (most expensive and a class player but looking out of sorts lately and up against a title chasing spurs defence at home)
    B. Sane (looking a bit jaded on Thurs and may get rotated?)
    C. King
    D. Other?

    1. rl248
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      D - Eriksen

    2. enrico.palazzo
      • 13 Years

    9 years, 1 month ago

    Bench one:

    A - Redmond

    How accurate has FPL statistics been this week with price rises and falls?

    1. enrico.palazzo
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Fpl stats is, and has always been the most accurate. Normally it's pretty close

      1. Eddie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Just wondering with WCs flying whether this week it has been as accurate as normal.

        1. enrico.palazzo
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Oh, I see. I'm not too sure sorry. Hoping gabbi doesn't rise so I can get him in wc easily; money will be tight

    2. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Pretty off.

  21. Chucky
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    When are my players going to rise?

    1. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      In 15 minutes if you have Gabbi.

      1. Chucky
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        good

  22. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
    • 17 Years

    On -4, £4.3 itb

    Heaton
    Valencia / Stephens
    Firmino / Alli / Sigurðsson / King / Zaha

    Jakupovic / Alonso / Davies / Maguire

    1. nkhoughton

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'd play Alonso ahead of Zaha

  24. ScottyMaz12
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Play it safe or risky to finish my wildcard?

    a) King & Costa
    b) Sane & Jesus

    1. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Id go A and evaluate next week again.

    3. nkhoughton

    Are you able to search for specific users on this site?

  26. Ozist
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    How is this team for WC
    Willy Pickford
    Azpi Gabriel Davies Yoshida baily
    Hazard Eriksen king sane Coutinho
    Gabbi Lukaku Kane

    1.8 ITB
    Any suggestions ?
    Don't have arsenal cover though, Might get Ozil or Walcott next week

    1. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Davies might lose the place with Rose around.

      1. Ozist
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks will swap to vertonghen

    2. MidTableFantasy
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Davies is going to be dropped once Rose is back.
      Lukaku no DGWs... what about Costa?
      Otherwise not bad. Risky with no Sanchez.

      1. Ozist
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah plan was to get arsenal mid in gw 36 and Costa or Jesus by gw 37

  27. Old Wulfrunian
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Defoe over Gabbiadini for gw35?

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      no imo, but he's a decent punt

      1. Old Wulfrunian
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        thanks

  28. Greenbackbøøg…
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Walker should start vs Arsenal right? Thoughts on spurs cs chances?

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Think so, experience etc and v Alexis. Not too confident on a c/s, fancy a few goals at both ends.

  29. mattmcc
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    I have Negredo but want gabbi, I have 0.3 in the bank if Negredo drops to 6.1 and gabbi rises to 6.5 I'll not be able to afford him, do i do the transfer now for -4?

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yep

    2. mattmcc
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Or does Negredo hold his value for a bit?

  30. Holmes
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Gabriel Jesus or Coutinho for next few weeks?
