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.

      I'm on Kompany. I don't really trust his minutes though.

      1. Scheister
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Indeed. Any recommendations?

    On WC3...for DGW37;

    A. Bailly (tot, sot) and Clichy (LEI, WBA)/Blind (tot,sot)

    B. Alonso (wba, WAT) and Holgate (WAT)

    Thanks.

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years

      B looks better

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

      I have gone B.
      I think they are a better combo anyway for 37 and the A option does not appear as nailed to me.

  5. Virgil Hilts
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Can we just accept that by W36 and BB37 we are going to have benching headaches 36 & 38?

    The whole point is to have a strong bench for 37 and cover any end of season rotation as well.

    I have decided it's going to be a nice problem to have.

    1. jia you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      True, I'd love to have a benching headache this week as it would mean that my squad is in good shape!

      1. jia you
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        My bench: Pickford, Mawson, Gibson, Gestede. Rather comical really 😉

        1. Pep says
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Mawson could surprise you

          1. jia you
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 11 months ago

            He'll prob be coming into my team for Valencia, so I hope you're right Pep!

        2. Virgil Hilts
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Reverse benching headache!

          Alfie Mawson is a legend though, on & off the pitch. He won't let you down.

          1. jia you
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 11 months ago

            Haha, I suppose you could call it that. Yep, think I'll hold Alfie for the duration.

    rrp

    Current back 5: Baines Val Gib Brunt Amat

    Do
    Gibson, Amat > Kompany,Bertrand?

    And play Kompany Bertrand Valencia ((baines brunt))??

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

      you know the risks with Kompany - eyes wide open if you do it
      I would not risk it.

  7. GGMU11
    • 10 Years

    Gab and Sane or Redmond and Jesus? Saw some quotes from Jesus saying he feels ready to start at boro.

        Cheers for all replies.

    I need a 1 week midfield punt for 8.1 or less. Any suggestions?

    1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Arnautovic/King if u dont have him

      1. Venom Snake
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        I don't know if I can trust King/Bournemouth. I have considered Arnie and also thinking maybe Tadic

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

      Tadic, Mahrez

      1. Venom Snake
        • 12 Years

        Mahrez is 8.9 lol

  10. jia you
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    I wish FFS would have a separate forum for RMT style posts. The articles are just overloaded with them, especially over the past few days with rmwct posts. It's hard work scrolling through all of it to find some informative/intersting posts!

    1. Licious Lizard
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      There was a HT at some point, but Nobody was using it anyway

      1. Pep says
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Ya but reddit delete posts if there posted outside the RMT thread. Should be the same here. Have an article stickied on the homepage saying 'have you team rated here by other users' or something.

        Or else, members who are here queit frequently should just use a separate (older) article to post on. It would eventually catch on

        1. jia you
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          I like this.

      2. jia you
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Fair point actually, even if there was it probably wouldn't stop it, there must be a solution?

      Hopefully it ends today... 😳

      Worse thing is all teams are pretty much same 😮

      1. Licious Lizard
        • 13 Years

        I Think a lot of People will be WCing for GW36 as Well

      2. jia you

        exactly that's what makes it much more frustrating, almost template teams by the 100s 😉

    Thoughts on this team?

    Heaton / Pickford
    Alonso / Bailly / Maguire / Stephens / Gibson
    Sanchez / Alli / Firmino / Zaha / King
    Kane / Jesus / Gabbiadini

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

      I think it looks like a perfectly fine team.

    2. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Holgate for me. Everton's home defensive form - albeit against some pretty woeful sides - is solid enough to chance it.

      On the other hand, I don't see any way Boro keep City out.

  19. Scheister

  22. LakhaneeFC
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Would you swap out Lukaku for Gabbi for this week? For a hit?

    The other 2 are Kane and Tekkers.

    Everyone seems to have Gabbi in, but I was hoping to get him next week

    Thoughts?

    1. MFC86
      • 10 Years

      I've gone benteke this week then changing to gab next week

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

        Yup, that's my plan as well 🙂

    2. jia you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      No way, not for a hit taking out the top goalscorer in EPL. I'm not getting him at all, fixtures poor and both Long & Austin (who may be back very soon) will get minutes. But yes, he seems very very popular on here!

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

        Thanks! Just last minute panic I suppose.

        Stick to the plan it is then 🙂

    is aguero worth a punt on wc?

    1. jia you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Depend on your overall SV, if this is on the low side he's just too expensive if you want Kane, Sanchez, Hazard, etc. Also minutes might be less than expected going forward imo with Jesus back.

    2. MFC86
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      I've gone for him on WC, can't decide between him and Kane

  29. Manilaman
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Play Jesus or Sane?

    1. MFC86
      • 10 Years

      Sane

  30. Holmes

    What to do with Valencia? 😮

    Any chance he play both games in next double? 😳

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

      Might shift to Baily on my WC next week - don't think he'll start both

    2. jia you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      If I hadn't others to attend to I'd get rid for sure, too much doubt over minutes. Unfortunately I'll have to stick with him. I think he'll just play one of them.
