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.

    Price Changes - 29th April 2017

    🔼  Hazard, Gabbiadini

    🔽  Lukaku, Lallana, Origi, Walters, Mannone, Defoe, Sigurdsson, Deeney, Lanzini, Klavan, Negredo, Gooch, Mason, Barton, Gestede, M.Olsson, Elabdellaoui

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

      Wow lots of drops. Cheers.

    2. Petr Cech the Table
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Origi --> Gabbiadini a success

      1. Sess!
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Only points equal success.

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

        lol. At this point of the season, really? A success?
        *Massive sigh

        Origi is a great option this GW and Gabbi is a classic FFS bandwagon, perfectly set up for a big fat fail.

        1. Pierce34
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I mean, he has twice the number of games over GWs 36 and 37. Even if he scores in only one of them it will be the same as Origi scoring in one of two, plus extra points for showing up.

          1. Sess!
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            I actually agree with both of these points.

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

            Incorrect. Southampton have twice the number of games. That doesn't mean Gabbiadini does. The truth is he most likely doesn't. 😕

            RCA is correct. Gabbiadini is a classic FFS bandwagon to follow Negredo, Rashford and a long, long line before that. Most of them budget forwards. And most of them a washout.

              Hi honey.
              Are you coming back?
              😉

                • 11 Years

    3. Teahupo'o
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Huh, was expecting more risers.

      2-0

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

      2 risers 🙂 kaku dropped 🙁 Thanks TM 🙂 Night

    5. Holmes
      • 12 Years

      Barton 😛

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

      Got Olsson in instead of Mawson in GW28. His 6 points for my team has cost £0.3m. Worst transfer of the season!

      Cheers TM.

    7. Pariße
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Well that's disappointing, there's probably going to be an explosion of risers tomorrow..

    8. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Cheers. In time to avoid the drop and gain.

    9. Lav

      Cheers. Lukaku drop sucks. Him to Jesus soon

      1. Virgil Hilts
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers for that.

        Phew, good news for WC tomorrow that more didn't rise.

    10. jia you
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Thanks TM. Damn Gestede, didn't expect that as I thought I was his only owner haha!

  2. For Fuchs Sake
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    All agreeing with Gabbi's polling? Have Kun, Alli, Kaku, Erik and Sanchez as other Captain options....

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

      Nah, think Harry is the best. You haven't got him?

      1. For Fuchs Sake
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Nope, Gabbi best out of these lot?

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

          Yeah, just about.

    2. Nigawan

  5. mattmcc
    • 11 Years

    won't let me do the transfer boys

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

      too late

    2. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Last chance is usually 2:10 AM.

  6. Blue Gaffer
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Son % chance if starting?

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

      Impact sub imho, 3-4-2-1 w/Bavies LWB.

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

    is Blind nailed now?

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

      Kind of, the young lad could cover but maybe not yet.

    2. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yup

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

    In the last two Prem games between Boro & City at the Riverside, Boro average 5 goals compared to City's 0.5 goals.

    People buying Jesus, captaining Kun...

    Surely it should be (N)egredo this GW? 😛

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

      Triple captain Negredo this week for me. 😛

  9. ⚽️ Omardiola ⚽️
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    aguero or jesus ?
    Gabiadini or Kanr for the (C) ?

    1. ILOVEBAPS
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Jesus

      1. ⚽️ Omardiola ⚽️
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        sure that jesus will start ?

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

          Worth the risk with his price, they could play together as well and in this line-up Aguero drops back a little.

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

      Jesus and C gabbi.

      But Kane always scores against arsenal. Hmm tough. i will leave that to you.

    3. NotsoSpursy
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Re Jesus. Wait a game then see. I bought benteke then to swap to Jesus ...maybe

  10. ILOVEBAPS
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Posted at a bad time obvs.
    Lil help? Spend 1 FT (hit ok) and WC available. 0.7itb

    Pickford
    Alonso Valencia Clichy
    Sánchez Eriksen Alli King Zaha
    Lukaku Kane

    Heaton Negredo Fabio 3.9

    1. ⚽️ Omardiola ⚽️
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      negredo to gabbi

    2. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      There's a chance that Valencia will not start and Saints DF can do well.

      Negredo is unlikely to get points, so he's out and option to bench Zaha.

      Or you may use FT on GK, but low ceiling of points.

      1. ILOVEBAPS
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks Nats,

        So
        Fabio > Blind/Baily/PVA??
        Or
        Negredo > Gabbi
        Or
        Heaton > DDG/Caballero

        1. NATSTER
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          If it was before price change, I would be leaning to Gabbi as his potential points should be highest.

          But it's DF move that I may want to do now if you don't have AOA.

          I'm preferred United among the choices you gave. Not sure about possible rotation, but leaning to Blind as he is usually a candidate for BAPs.

    3. Nigawan
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Valencia might not play and clichy doesnt play the previous game. Much thinking to do bro.

      1. ILOVEBAPS
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Tah

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

    Gtg? Wc team. 2.8 itb

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

    3 def and King with no 2x gw but decent fixtures.

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

      Superb attacking players. Pretty similar with my WC draft. But i would get a chelsea defence for DGW thou.

  12. Pierce34
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Which combination do you prefer?

    A) Costa, Ozil, Vertonghen, Monreal, Evans (TC Ozil or Gabbi)

    B) Costa, Sanchez, Gabriel, Stephens, Brunt (TC Sanchez)

    C) Jesus, Sanchez, Vertonghen, Monreal, Stephens (TC Sanchez)

    In scenarios B and C, Stephens would only play in GW37. In B Brunt would start the next 2.

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

      c

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

    Bench Brunt or Vertonghen?

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

      Vert just incase Tony doesn't feel like starting Brunt.

    2. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Probably Vertonghen actually.

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

      Has to be Brunt. Vertonghen playing for better defense against an okish attack

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

      I'm taking a punt on a well rested WBA side beating Leicester and have gone Brunt, benching B Davies.

  14. Blue Gaffer
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Considering Son might not start would Son----Sanchez in prep for 36 & 37 be a bad move?

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

      Solid move.

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

    Would you play Jesus or Sane this gw?? I know the risks but Jesus could have a haul v m'boro if he plays and if he's fit I reckon pep will play him ...

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

      I've a feeling Sané could be benched tomorrow. Maybe both, but Jesus' more explosive.

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

      On Sunday*

  16. Pariße
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    On WC, punt on:
    A) Benteke
    B) Bailly
    C) Both
    D) No punts, prepare for DGW now with Jesus & Alli
    E) No punts, prepare now with Costa & Sané

    1. ILOVEBAPS
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      C. Great time for a punt

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

        A bit reckless but could be worth it. 🙂

  17. Hurricane Gilbert
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Was a bit slow so missed Gabbi price rise, but Lukaku to Gabbi done and feels good.

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

      Every move feels good untill final whistle 😉

      1. Hurricane Gilbert

        Yup mate good luck

  18. My neck my back my Saed Kol…
    • 11 Years

    Any idea who to bring in for a one week punt for sigurdson?

    1. Elvy
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      J King, Arnie, Redmond

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

      Mahrez

      1. Hybrid.power
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Jesus. Mahrez. He was so essential last season. I haven't owned him at all this season.

  19. norwegian-forest-cats

    9 years, 1 month ago

    What do people think the chances of Valencia playing are?

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

      Zero I'm afraid, holder btw.

      1. jmcclory123
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Why so certain?

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

          1 game a week man atm, and always the difficult one. Utd have a few options at FB so he can and is being rested.

      2. norwegian-forest-cats
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Argh - is switching to Blind a logical move then?

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

          Yeah or Bailly.

  20. ⚽️ Omardiola ⚽️
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Aguero Or Jesus Who will start ?

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

      Who knows! If you are chasing take the risk with Jesus

  21. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    WC Team:

    De Gea (Caballero)
    Bailly, Kompany, Yoshida (Huth, Dawson)
    Hazard, Sanchez, Eriksen, King (Albrighton)
    Jesus, Gabbiadini, Kane

    Happy with the team this week, 3 double players the following week, bench boost week after that

    1. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Meant to say, any suggestions?

  24. Gruu

    Zaha to Coutinho for a hit?

    1. ILOVEBAPS

      No.

    2. NotsoSpursy

      Nope

    3. Twisted Saltergater

      yep

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

    I bought Gabbiadini at 6.8m, so it was nice to see a 0.1m rise rather than a drop for once!

  26. liner

    Is Baines to Kompany worth a hit? Is kompany nail for next match anyway?

    1. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Not worth a hit, but Kompany will play as long as he's got. He's a rock in their defense

      1. Hybrid.power
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        As long as he's fit I mean

  27. AZERTY
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    A) Caballero + Monreal
    B) Czech + Kompany

  28. Blue Gaffer
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Is there any chance either Forster or Cech could be dropped in next few weeks?

    1. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Only if they're injured.

  29. Fingerspitzengefühl
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Siggy to

    A) King
    B) Sanè
    C) Coutinho

    1. Gruu
      • 9 Years
