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
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 11 months 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
      8 years, 11 months ago

      A

  5. Lav

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

    Alonso Bailly Yoshi Holgate

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

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

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

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

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

          WCing next week?

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

            No WC available

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

              Monreal would be my pick then.

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

          Kompany / Daniels for a punt.

          Monreal if no WC.

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

            Monreal it is

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

    Bench 1?

    Hazard
    Eriksen
    King
    Coutinho
    Alli
    Kane
    Gabb
    Benteke.

    1. Prison Mike
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

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

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

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

    3. enrico.palazzo
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Alli

  7. Prison Mike
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    T.Carroll -> King (-4)

    It would mean benching one of Lukaku/Sanchez

    Yay or Nay ?

    1. enrico.palazzo
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      No. Especially if you have a wc

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

      Move the screen up/down

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

    Who would you captain?

    Kane
    Gabbiadini
    Alexis
    Hazard
    King
    Couts

    1. Mini Mane Mo
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

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

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

      Gabbiadini

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

      Kane.

    4. enrico.palazzo
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

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

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

        I'd get Kane over kdb

        1. enrico.palazzo
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Yeah seems to be the vote. Thanks for reply mate

  10. Pigeon
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

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

  11. CloudSky
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months 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
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Valencia might be rested for EL

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

        Robertson can cover that.

  12. pls
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months 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
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Thats what I just did

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

      Gabbi will rise is by 2:15

  13. MartialMatas
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

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

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

      Hedging bets 😛

    2. enrico.palazzo
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Kane loves a derby

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

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

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

    Different crowd.

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

    Thanks,

    1. enrico.palazzo
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Cheers!

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

  15. LobsFF
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 11 months 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
      8 years, 11 months ago

      D - Eriksen

    2. enrico.palazzo

        • 16 Years

        Yeah will be 3-4-3 this week. Not worried about the expense on the bench as ozil and monreal are there for gw 36 tbh

  18. rl248
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Bench one:

    A - Redmond

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

    1. enrico.palazzo
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

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

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

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

        1. enrico.palazzo
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 11 months 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
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Pretty off.

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

    When are my players going to rise?

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

      In 15 minutes if you have Gabbi.

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

        good

  22. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …

    8 years, 11 months ago

    Holden or holgate on wc?

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

    Gtg?

    On -4, £4.3 itb

    Heaton
    Valencia / Stephens
    Firmino / Alli / Sigurðsson / King / Zaha
    Kane (vc) / Lukaku / Gabbiadini (c)

    Jakupovic / Alonso / Davies / Maguire

    1. nkhoughton
      • 10 Years

      Nah your good

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

      I'd play Alonso ahead of Zaha

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

    Play it safe or risky to finish my wildcard?

    a) King & Costa
    b) Sane & Jesus

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

      Id go A and evaluate next week again.

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

      a

    3. nkhoughton

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

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

  26. Ozist
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months 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
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Davies might lose the place with Rose around.

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

        Thanks will swap to vertonghen

    2. MidTableFantasy
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months 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
        8 years, 11 months ago

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

  27. Old Wulfrunian
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Defoe over Gabbiadini for gw35?

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      no imo, but he's a decent punt

      1. Old Wulfrunian
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        thanks

  28. Greenbackbøøg…
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

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

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

      Yep

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

      Or does Negredo hold his value for a bit?

  30. Holmes
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Gabriel Jesus or Coutinho for next few weeks?
