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.

    1. Rolls-Royce

      8 years, 10 months ago

      One should consider the opposition he played against also.

      Exactly the same as the other 3000 on here

  4. Weeb Kakashi

    RMWCT

    Caballero Pickford
    Koscielny Luiz Vertonghen Yoshida Holgate
    Sanchez Hazard Alli Pedro King
    Kane Gabbiadini Anichebe

    For Gw 37
    Gabbiadini > Jesus is the plan!!

    1. Neo-Viper
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Solid!
      can you fit in Sane instead of Pedro ?

      1. Weeb Kakashi
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        I can....but il get Jesus in for some City cover!!for gw37

        1. Neo-Viper
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Fair enough Mate! Rock solid Defence that!

  5. Rolls-Royce
    • 12 Years

    G2G lads? 0FT, £0.6

    DDG
    Alonso Pieters Maguire
    Sanchez Hazard Alli Coutinho King
    Kane Benteke

    Pickford | Negredo Stephens xx

    Worried as no City cover....

    1. Net Gains
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Take our DDG for Caballero (as Bravo is out for the season). Compare Utd's remaining fixtures to City's... loads of clean sheets on their way for City.

      1. Rolls-Royce
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        For hit?

    2. Net Gains
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Ah sorry, didn't realise it would be for a hit. No, I'd wait until next week because Utd will probably keep a clean sheet this week anyway.

      1. Rolls-Royce
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Cheers. WCing next week.

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

    A) Play Siggy
    B) King -4
    C) Arnie -4

    WC next week

    1. Denis Tueart on the wing
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Don't waste -4 if wildcarding next week

    2. The Man Pastore
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      A

    3. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I did Siggy to Arnie for free if that helps

  7. HammersFan
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Heaton > willy
    Valencia > kompany

    Both for a hit and hope city keep that clean sheet. Feel kompany could be a great punt good for a goal and baps

    1. Net Gains
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Great moves. Good luck!

  8. The Man Pastore
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    On WC, pick one:

    A) Montreal
    B) Kompany

    1. Rolls-Royce
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      B

      1. Uncle John from Jamaica
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Kim pant better player but Montreal gets you one more game plus potential out of position so I say him.

        1. Uncle John from Jamaica
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Kompany even

  9. Neo-Viper
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    This Eh lads is my WCT :

    Pickford || Willy
    Baily Alonso Stephens || Gabriel Benalouane
    Sane Haz King Sanchez || JWP
    (K)ane Tekkers Gabbi

    how is she ?

    1. Neo-Viper
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Anyone ?

    2. kennethrhcp
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Looks good. I'm not sure on Bena and Stephens but understand the calls

      1. Neo-Viper
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        If only Bavies was sure to start the rest of the games...

        1. kennethrhcp
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          I hear ya!

  10. EmreCan Hustle
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Some last moment WC doubts.

    A) Bailly or Kosc(more nailed on)?
    B) Coutinho or Firmino?
    C) Gabriel or Sane?

    Thanks.

    1. Neo-Viper
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      A ) Baily (Kos injured currently)
      B) Tough but will go with the little magician!
      C) Sane

      1. EmreCan Hustle
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Cheers.

  11. Moose™
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Worth to bring KdB in your WC team?

    Willy (Pickford)

    Alonso Vert Daniels (Yoshida) (Holgate)

    Sanchez KdB Hazard Alli (Tarroll)

    Kane Benteke Gabbiadini

    1. Neo-Viper
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      A diffrential , yes!!! But then you will have to go with that defence..
      Downgrade to Sane / Sterling..

      1. Moose™
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Whats wrong with it? Alonso and Vert were good picks imo. Daniels fixtures also quite easy till end of season. Yoshida and Holgate just enablers.

      2. kennethrhcp
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        That defence is grand imo.

    2. kennethrhcp
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I wish I could afford kdb. Your tv must be high enough

    3. kennethrhcp
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      If you did do kdb to sane could you afford costa for testers next week?

      1. kennethrhcp
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Tekkers

        1. Moose™
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Yep. Can afford.

          1. kennethrhcp
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            I'd nearly do that

    4. TokyoRisingSun
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Nope, Sane better

      1. Moose™
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Looks really tired against United. Can see him being rested this weekend.

  12. Forsom
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Is Son likely to play ? Change to who otherwise ?

    Also worth downgrading Sanches or bring in Costas instead of Luka ?

    0 FT, 0.0 ITB

    Jaku
    Valencia - Cook - Pieters
    Sanchez - Eriksen- Son - King
    Kane (c) - Negredo - Luka

    Foster-Capoue - Gibson - Amat

    0FT, 1.2 ITB

    1. kennethrhcp
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I read dembele might be out so son may strat. I'd try save my hit for the dgws unless you still have wc.

      I'd keep sanchez for sure for dgws

    2. Net Gains
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      In my opinion, it's a good team and you shouldn't lose points for any transfers. But next week, I'd probably do Sanchez to Hazard and Negredo to Gabbiadini (DGW for him).

  13. kennethrhcp
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Morning lads, has been a long week tinkering with my wc...

    Landed on a back 5 of bailly, blind, yoshida, Luiz and Gabriel

    Thinking of switching one of united lads to bavies, what's the craic with rose? Back soon I hear

    1. Neo-Viper
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Still training with the 1st team their twitter page say.. Had Verti , shifted to Bavies and then again people told here a strict no so went Bailly instead.

      1. kennethrhcp
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Cheers neo

  14. Pomp and Circumstance
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    bring in Kane or Gabbiadini, or wait until WC for GW 36?

    1. kennethrhcp
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Who are your current front 7 or 8?

      1. Pomp and Circumstance
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Alli, Eriksen, Hazard, Sanchez, King
        Benteke, Lukaku, Negredo

        thanks!

        1. kennethrhcp
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          That's a strong front 8 pre wc!

          I'm captaining him bit would you want 3 spurs vs arsenal?

          If you brought in gabs I guess it's for negredo... who'd you bench?

          1. Pomp and Circumstance
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            yeah, I think will stay with it, and bring in both Kane and Gabbi for GW 36 WC

            considering how to use 1 FT--perhaps bring in Caballero?

            1. kennethrhcp
              • 15 Years
              8 years, 10 months ago

              Has a great fixture and wild card coming up I can't see much downside to that move (with out knowing your current gks that is)

    2. Don Rogers FC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Negredo to gabbi

      1. Pomp and Circumstance
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        who to bench then--and captain Benteke or Gabbi?

        1. Don Rogers FC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Captain Gabbi

          See what you mean about bench decision, quite tough. Maybe one of Your Spurs Mids?

  15. LADY ARWEN'S ARMY
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Whose to bench and whose to capt :
    Hazard alli eriksen zaha king
    Gabbi kane lukaku
    Thanks for reply and suggestion

    1. kennethrhcp
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Now that's a pickle 🙂 any answer seems crazy re bench but maybe zaha. Can't see you benching spurs lads

      1. LADY ARWEN'S ARMY
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Benching headache between erik and zaha , and whose to capt .., thanks for reply mate ..

        1. kennethrhcp
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          I'm gambling on kane... good luck with benching headache. Gonna be a long few hours 🙂

  16. Legomane
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    How can I improve this WC draft ? Thoughts much appreciated.

    Caballero Pickford
    Alonso Blind Gabriel Holgate Stephens
    Sanchez Hazard Alli Eriksen Ward Prowse
    Kane Jesus Gabbiadini

    0.1ITB

    1. Takedog1
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Jesus a starter ?

      1. Legomane
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Will see later..WC active 36

    2. athreya
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      One of eriksen or Alli to Cout and then get back the Spurs MF for 37.

    3. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Gabriel a starter when Mustafi back?

      1. kennethrhcp
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        When's he back?

  17. Butters_lfc9
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Thoughts on wildcard side?

    Caballero
    Alonso-Huth-Stephens
    Sanchez-Hazard-Alli-Sane-King
    Kane-Gabbi

    Pickford-Anichebe-Gabriel-Holgate

    0.7ITB

    1. kennethrhcp
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      How much is huth? I'm guessing around 5. Maybe go blind?

  18. Rolls-Royce
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Can't wait to play WC later today. Will be going balls out 15 DGWer.

    1. kennethrhcp
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      It's harder than it looks to do... bournmouth fixtures and prices too good

  19. Takedog1
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    I need a nailed on Man City defender ??

    1. Uncle John from Jamaica
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      There isn't one

    2. mcrayeps
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Caballero

    3. kennethrhcp
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Haha its been discussed all week... unlucky 🙂

      1. kennethrhcp
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Ps by unlucky I wasn't being smart. Just that there's none we reckon. Kompany closest thing but his injury history makes you think he'll get a rest

        1. Takedog1
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Haha yea I know. No probs! I've not been on all week! Thinking of taking a chance on clichy.

          1. kennethrhcp
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            Kolarovs left back start vs united has changed many a wc

  20. SpaceCadet
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    She lookin good to go folks? Cap choice will come down to gabbi v tekkers.

    Ddg
    Blind Luiz Bertrand
    Eriksen sane zaha king
    Kane benteke gabbi

    Randolph Pedro Toby Gibson

    1. kennethrhcp
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Looks good. I like the Bertrand call.

      If I had tekkers I'd capt him

  21. athreya
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Who to bench out of this front 8

    Alexis/Hazard/Alli/King/Cout
    Tekkers/Kane/gabby

    I am looking at benching either Alli or Alexis.

  22. Legomane
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Is Kante a shout for 5th mid? Good fixtures over the double and only 4.7

    1. athreya
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Will give you 4 points. For a few pennies more you can have Albrighton or jwp with some upside.

    2. A.T
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      No. Defensive mids are useless in FPL.

  23. mcrayeps
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Need final help on this :

    Bench Alonso Valencia or Stephens

    1. athreya
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Stephens. Valencia will mostly be rested so it shouldn't matter.

  24. THFC4LIFE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Start 3 of these lads

    A Valencia
    B Vertonghen
    C Yoshida
    D Alonso

    1. athreya
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      ACD but B will probably come in as auto sub for A.

  25. Oven Glover
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    How crazy is this?

    Sanchez & Lukaku -> Kun & Martial

    My cup opponent and I have pretty much identical teams and I want to take a chance and make a move that could send me through to the last eight. Martial will become Hazard in 36 and I might get Sanchez back for 37 if looks back to his best.

    Go or no go in your opinion?

    1. Oven Glover

      The move is for -4

        Insane

        Sanchez has 5 games over next 3 and Martial not even nailed on.

        1. Oven Glover
          • 10 Years

          One week cup punt as mentioned

  26. Takedog1
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Is Aguilar nailed on?

      • 12 Years

      Aguero ++**

        Minutes may be limited by Jesus return.

    Chaps

    Is Lukaku to Kane for a -4 madness. Will clearly need Kane for wk 37 anyway.

    One week punt before WC.

    1.Gibson > Daniels
    2.Alli or Erikson > Coutinho or Arnie

      A

      Not b north London derby alwats high scoring

      1. Oven Glover
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        1-1, 2-1, 1-1, 2-2, 1-1. Last five NLDs. Not always high scoring.

          You must be wrong... it's been posted at least 3 times on here that it's always high scoring... please remove your facts 🙂

      1

      I fancy Coutinho this week.

  29. Gilles
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Best sub 9.5 mid for this week only ?
    Coutinho ? Firmino ?
    Sané ?
    Ericksen ? Alli ?
    Other ?

    1. HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Coutinho

      1. Gilles
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Thanks.
        My midfield is Haz Sanchez King Cout Alli, and Coutinho will certainly go for a DGW player next week, so I can replace him for a week punt.
        But he can be the punt obviously...

    2. Oven Glover
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I'm thinking Martial

      1. Gilles
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Not a bad idea

      2. Gilles
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Will he get enough gametime though ?
