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.

    Keep Alli on 1 week punt Martial on WC?

    1. Kiwivillan

      • 11 Years

      *or

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

      Keep Alli

  3. GoonerByron
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Is it worth doing Monreal -> Gabriel if it means I can afford Sane -> Eriksen?

    1. Max City
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Not sure if Eriksen is better than Sane ..

      1. Phil Dagger ⭐
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        he is

        1. Max City
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          If so then go for it

          1. The Head-Ake
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 11 months ago

            Gabriel isn't nailed but I'd want Eriksen in somehow

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

    Anybody know when YMA's captaincy article comes out, or will there be one this week?

  5. Don Rogers FC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Please RMWCT

    Cabalerro (Cech)
    Yoshida, Alonso, Stephens, (Holgate, Monreal)
    Hazard, king, Sanchez, Sane (Eriksen)
    Rashford, Costa, Gabbiadini (c)

    1.0 itb

    I see Rashford as a week link and can't decide whether to downgrade Sanchez to upgrade rashford to Kane

    Planning to TC 36 and BB 37

    All suggestions welcome

    1. Don Rogers FC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Weak

    2. V-2 Schneiderlin
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      I'm wondering the same thing. Downgrading Sanchez to Ozil would free up funds - risky though

      1. Don Rogers FC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        I know + I'm hoping Sanchez comes good so I can TC in 36 with confidence.

    3. Neo-Viper
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Sanchez for TC GW 36

      1. Don Rogers FC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        I think so

        It's just that I've been burned all season by 'under Kane-ing' I"m 400k and would probably be 100k if I had Kaned it more.

  6. Lucky_Z
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    What about this WC team for GW36? Anichebe as an enabler/bencher in GW36 and 4-pointer in GW37, maybe more with Swansea at home.

    Caballero • Pickford
    Yoshida • Alderweireld • Gabriel • Monreal • Alonso
    Sane • Alli • Hazard • Redmond • Sanchez
    Gabbi • Kane • Anichebe

    1. The Head-Ake
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Gabriel out for Blind as he isn't nailed and I'd want Forster instead of Willy so King for Redmond?

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

        Thanks. Can't trust any of ManUtd asstes ATM. Gabriel should be nailed with Mustafi out, great form at 3 at the back. Redmond gives me 2 more games than King.

  7. dhamphiir
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Which one is better?
    A. Alli + Costa + Gabriel + Fletcher + Alonso (Bought at 5.9)
    B. Coutinho + Jesus + Monreal + King + Vertonghen

    1. Don Rogers FC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      A.

  8. The Man Pastore
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    On WC, good to go?

    Cech Pickford
    Kompany Alonso Vertonghen Daniels Yoshi
    Sanchez Hazard Alli Sane King
    Kane Gabbi Anichebe

    0.0ITB

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

      Would gamble on Redmond for King for DGWs

  9. _Freddo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Morning DZ, who are you all captaining this week?

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

      Kane

    2. Rolls-Royce
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Kane. NLD should be goal fest right.

      1. zizoo10
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        you think? i want to believe that, since i have kane, alli, eriksen, sanchez and want to wc because of it

        1. Rolls-Royce
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Final NLD in Lane. expecting fireworks. Spurs will really go for it imo.

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

      King

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

      Switched from Kane to Benteke today. He did me proud last week so I'll give him another run at it.

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

      They've been pretty low scoring games since Poch has taken over, can't think of many open ones.

      Woken up with no clue, looking for the biggest leap so currently on Gabbiadini but the stats say Benteke and Kane.

  10. Give Me the Mane
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    With respect to DGW 37 for bench boost :

    1. Cech, Kane, chep striker( will be left with 4.9)

    2.Caballero, Costa, Gabbi

  11. zizoo10
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Anybody with no TC still WCing this week? I have a shocking defence, and really want to bring in king, sane

    1. Rolls-Royce
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Yeah. lots are doing it

    2. kennethrhcp
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      O/

    3. Max City
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      I'm not

  12. money face bandwagon
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    playing anichebe and hopes he gets >2 points is not very realistic right?

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

      Realistic

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

    hey guys which of these three defenders is most nailed for the rest of the season to wildcard in this week,

    clichy, blind, bailly

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

      Blind and Bailly I guess

      1. Neo-Viper
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        This!

    2. Max City
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Bailly

  14. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Should I get Big Willy in for a hit?

    My other keepers are Jaku / Valdes

    1. Rolls-Royce
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Play Jaku

    2. Perthite
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      I wouldn't do such surgery lightly.
      I recommend you just do the best you can with what you have.

  15. The Red Devil
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Valencia to Daniels
    Negredo to Gabbi
    For a hit
    Have Robertson on the bench

  16. Shifty
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    another Gabbiadini price rise would be great this coming week. Unlikely with all the WCs in play...

    I think GW35 WCers need to save that FT in 36....we need need to get rid of Gabbiadini by then. Stinks of a Negredo-like shift to him at the moment.

  17. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    How's she looking gents

    Jaku
    Blind Bailly Bavies
    Sanchez Hazard Eriksen Zaha
    Kun (K)ane Tekkers

    Grant Olsson Amat Hojbjerg

    No hits, WC next GW then BB after.

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

      Looking good

    2. Lucky_Z
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      GTG, but your bench is something. Risky with Bailly/Blind in XI

  18. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Rashford against tired legs?

    Would you start him knowing he will probably be benched

  19. zizoo10
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    would you wc 1 week early for these key changes this gw?

    DDG
    Chambers • Robertson
    Alli • Eriksen • Siggy
    Lukaku

    TO

    Caballero
    Yoshida • Bailly
    Haz • Sane • King
    Costa

    1. Rolls-Royce
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Could pay off.

    2. Sahil Yadav
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      I'll prefer Lukaku over Costa for this week

    3. Pieterke30
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      You should keep Alli or Eriksen somehow

      Apart from that it's good

  20. Hazardous1983
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    What to do with this mess

    Foster (jak)
    Alonso yoshida valencia (robertson kingsley)
    Alli eriksen sanchez zaha (de roon)
    Gabbiadini lukaku kane(c)

    2.3m in bank. Ft already used.

  21. Perthite
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    When are people considerig on using their TC chip?
    WC GW35. BB GW37, so probably GW36?

    1. Sahil Yadav
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      I don't have a WC so probably GW 37 for me

    2. Don Rogers FC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Exactly that

  22. Sahil Yadav
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Would you do Bernardo to Yoshi just after today's deadline to avoid price rise or wait?

  23. MarkoSD
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Wc team, 1.7 in the bank to uprgrade gab and cab if they are not nailed for 37, or morrison otherwise

    Cabb pick
    Yoshi baily gab smith stephens
    Alli alexis morrison sane king
    Gabby jesus kane

    Gtg?

  24. Mockingbird
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Bench 1: Kompany, Alonso, Stephens

    1. Sahil Yadav
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Stephens

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

        think chelsea can keep it clean vs eve?

        1. Sahil Yadav
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          But the goal threat is always there

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

    Bet of the day: Stoke & Palace double. Odds around 5/2 or a little more.
    WHU are so poor and with Stoke at home, can't see anything other than a win. Palace to have too much for Burnley who haven't been looking great of late.

  26. EmreCan Hustle
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Is Kosc fit? Still flagged.

  27. Legomane
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Pickford
    Alonso Valencia Pieters
    Sanchez Alli Eriksen King(v)
    Kane(c) Lukaku Benteke

    (Heaton ASmith Gibson TCarroll)

    0FT 1.4ITB WC BB

    G2G?
    A. Heaton (cpl) have Benteke
    B. Pickford (BOU) have King

    Kane(c) has 5in5 v ARS
    King(v) has 3in3 v SUN

    Transfer made: Siggy > King. Regret not getting Hazard in for a hit...

  28. SpursSon
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Firmino or KDB for one week punt?

    1. Sahil Yadav
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Firmino for me
