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.

    8 years, 10 months ago

    No Arsenal cover, can't afford Sanchez

    Should I go for Özil or will Eriksen score more than Özil till end of season?

    1. #Swish41
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Ozil double doubles look hard to resist

  2. #Swish41
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Kane really a better captain pick than Aguero?

    1. Messiah Hazard
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Nope. Most won't have Aguero and so captaining Kane

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

        This

    2. Salah'd n Sauce
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I have neither which makes it even more "fun" choice

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

    who would you bench and you would you captain from this?...

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

    1. *sigh*
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Bench Luka captain Gabbiadini

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

      Kaku
      &
      Tekkers (should get 90mins) over Gabbi

      Anything can happen between Spurs n Gunners and it could get out of hand.

  4. Cocky Spaniel Alves
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    A) Caballero Gabriel Vertongen and JWP
    vs
    B) Cech Yoshida Maguire and King

    1. Dirty Harry
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Is King/JWP 5th mid?

      If so. 1.

      1. Cocky Spaniel Alves
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        4th with Albrighton

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

      A

  5. Abel Xavier
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Southampton have the 15th best home record in the league, with a goal difference of -1.
    Southampton have scored 17 goals in 15 home matches. Only Sunderland and Middlesbrough have scored fewer home goals.
    If they win both their two home games in hand, they will join Watford and Hull on 28 home points from 17 games.
    Hull have been terrible away from home, but are Southampton good enough to take advantage?

    1. *sigh*
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Yeah I'd say so only because they have a true centre forward playing for them now.

      1. Abel Xavier
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        He looks good but managed minutes returning from injury?
        He's only lasted 90 mins once in 6 appearances.

  6. spursmad

    8 years, 10 months ago

    1. *sigh*
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Very good.Id maybe chance Stephens instead of Holgate because of the two extra fixtures.

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

        That's a good idea. Thanks

    Pickford Caballero
    Alonso Blind Davies* Yoshida Stephens
    Sanchez Hazard Eriksen Sane Albrighton*
    Kane Jesus Gabbi

    how important is King, to downgrade one and upgrade Albrighton?
    Davies, Huth or Gabriel ?

    1. *sigh*
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Albrighton to Fraser maybe? He played well last weekend and is 4.6 I think.

      1. *sigh*
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Huth has "goals imminent "

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

          i want him, but he will play against man city and kompany good at set pieces and spurs has one of the best def

    1. pax888
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

    1. Luis Suarez Ate My Homework
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I'm thinking of doing this for -8 and keeping Hazard for the rest of the season. Look at their fixtures. They're gold.

    2. Mr Q
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

  20. Burger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Anyone captaining Eriksen? Great form recently, and I'm chasing in my mini league so fancy a roll off the dice. Or maybe King or Gabbiadini would be better?

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Gabby or King

  21. Moose™

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

    Do you think Monreal's place isnt 100% nailed with 3 at the back?
    I think I'd prefer Kos on a wc but wondering if it's too risky bringing him in injured. I don't need him this week but what if he's still injured next week?
    What do you tnink!?

    1. sminkypinky
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Imo he should be nailed but didn't need the risk so went for Cech instead.
      Don't bring in, monitor. Ive got my eye on Gabriel next week for Bailly. Monreal with more attacking threat.

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

      The fact that he can play lwb ad well as lcb makes him nailed on imo

      1. Mark-O
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        The fact that the back three can be gab kos holding with Gibbs as lwb makes him not so nailed on imo

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

      Thanks. I think I'll take a risk on Kos.

  26. sminkypinky
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Morning guys!
    Which would you have:
    Cech+JWP for a fifth mid
    Or
    Pick+Sane for a fifth/fourth (with King)

  27. pax888
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    What would you do with 1 transfer & 3.0m in the bank?

    Pickford
    Walker Alonso Valencia
    Alli Eriksen Coutinho Zaha King
    Lukaku Benteke

    Heaton Brunt Negredo Amat

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

    2. kennethrhcp

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

        Had Sanchez for ages and decided to downgrade to ozil cos of form. But then thought I will do courtinio this week instead and transfer oz in next week.
