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.

    (Jakupovic, Friend, Robertson, de Roon)

    Which one would you do for FT?

    a) Snoddie -> King
    b) Zaha -> King
    c) nothing

    1. Killitzer
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      B for sure

      1. Killitzer
        • 16 Years

    This is my team-
    Heaton Jakupovic
    Alonso Valencia Walker Yoshida Friend
    Alli Firmino Sterling Zaha De Roon
    Kane Lukaku Gabbi
    5.4 itb.... Already used FT.... Anything worth a hit?
    Sterling - >Hazard or Sterling->Sanchez? But seeing both of Sanchez and Hazard's fixtures and looking at Sterling's fixtures, I'm not too inclined? Any suggestions?

    1. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Then wouldn't do it for a hit. Check sterling's performance this gw

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

    captain--Benteke or Gabbi?

    1. kennethrhcp
      • 15 Years

      Tekkers

    2. fellainiisbetterthanzidane
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Benteke. On form.

  5. jai1212
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Tadic (C), too risky?

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

      If you're going to punt on someone go with someone who can actually score goals

      1. jai1212
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        well, he is on penalties

    2. irfanm66
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Risky..he may frustrate you..

  6. The Red Devil

    8 years, 10 months ago

    Heaton Pickford
    Alonso blind Valencia Robertson olsson
    Siggy zaha Alli King Fletcher

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

      Siggy and Negredo to Hazard and Gabbi?

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

    Set up my team whilst drunk last night. AoA good option?

    DDG
    Alonso Valencia
    Hazard Zaha Coutinho JWP Alli
    Kane (c) Benteke Lukaku

    Bench: Stephens Davies Holgate

    1. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Yep

  8. irfanm66
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    hello everyone..need help here..i want a Man City cover between Sterling and Sane..i fear Sane maybe rested...Sterling is fresh i think because he was rested 2-3 before this..Jay-sus is back..maybe Pep want to give him game time..Thoughts on who should i transfer in?

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

      Definitely not Sterling. Can't hit a barn door

    2. Hand of clod
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I think Sane will play. He is in great form and Pep loves him. Jesus may get 30mins or so. I'd go with Sane or Aguero Myself, but its a lottery really....any could get benched knowing Pep! Frustrating as im in the same boat wanting City attackers...

    3. VS10_
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Sterling was dropped.

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

      Imo all of them have a rotation risk. Jesus offers most potential so him.

  9. Sid07
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    On wc
    Caballero pickford
    Alonso blind Stephens holgate 4.5

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

      B. Jones or Kelly

      1. Sid07
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Any changes recommend in front 8 to get arsenal defence ??

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

    I cant create good wc team with Hazard and Kane. Its easier with Alli and Costa... who is going withouth Hazard. Is he more importat for wc like Sanchez?

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

      Not essential or important but he is a good pick for rest of the season

    2. Astronautovic
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I am going with haz alli kane

      1. Doar1986
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        I'm going Kane, Hazard, eriksen

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

    Worth a punt on PVA?

  12. L'Aeroplanino
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    utd att one week punt anyone?

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

      Martial

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

        interesting--is anyone considering this?...

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

        I'm tempted too. Will he start, though?

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

          I reckon, he will. Tho I went for Coutinho due to lure of MNF.

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

            Have Firmino so I'm in for MNF but my plan to get Martial might be a risky one...
            Sanchez & Lukaku -> Martial & Kun (C) -4. 300 points ahead in ML and want to differentiate from my cup opponent, who has an identical team as mine.

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

              Well, it could payoff big or back fire. Only concern would be if Sanchez starts as striker vs Spurs.

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

                Think I might risk it tbh. Need something different this week.

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

      Thinking of Alli or Eriksen >Martial then Sanchez next week

  13. shapply
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    2FT, 0.2 itb, wildcard next gameweek, what would you change?
    Thinking of gettin Kelly for Friend, what else?

  14. YankeeDoodleDandy
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Bench one:
    A) Son
    B) Sanchez
    C) Rashford

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

      Rashford

  15. seanysheep
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    I think there is a template forming

  16. jai1212
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Rashford to Gabbi?
    For a -4?

    Have Tadic and no other United cover

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

      Rashford probably wont start, so yes

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

    For all those chasing a mini-league title:

    How many points behind/in front of your rival are you and what do you desperately want to happen this week?

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

      80. But rival doesnot have his WC. I'm hoping to cut it upto 40 by GW 37.

  18. Astronautovic
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Is caballero nailed on?
    How long is bravo out?

    1. 404_FC
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      yes
      no hav news to confirm yet

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

      They say few weeks, so Cabellaro should be fine

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

    Willy/ Pickford
    Alonso/Yosh/gabriel/Baily/Holgate
    Hazard/Sanchez/Alli/King/JWP
    Kane/Gabb/Benteke

    On WC. Anything I should change? Maybe some City attack?

    1. Astronautovic
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Benteke will u have him in 37 too?

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

        Don't plan to. Was more of a one week punt (in comparison to my ML).

        1. Astronautovic
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Which forward will u get then?

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

            Been looking at Jesus but that may involve too much tinkering. F all ITB

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

    Wake to find Siggy has dropped and can no longer afford the WC draft I was going for.

  24. Beautiful Game
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Do we think Rashford will start?

    Or rather is Rashford -> Gabbi for a hit Yay or Nay?

    1. fellainiisbetterthanzidane
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Rashford might not start. Rotation with Europe League coming. Gabbi good choice, DGW coming.

    2. Sterling is £11Mill..…
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I would keep him this week it's not worth a -4 what sub u got?

  25. StormYouDown
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Who would be best option for this GW only? Lukaku or Augero??

  26. SuperMario
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    DDG
    Valencia - Davies - Pieters - Ward
    Alli - Zara - Siggy
    Aguero (c) - Kane (cv) - Lukaku

    Pickford - lanzini - fletcher - Amat

    1. SuperMario
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      1m bank, WC next week, any changes needed?

  27. FPLAdmiral
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Could do with some advice chaps!

    0FT and 0.2m ITB. I don't have my WC but still have BB. My bench is a shambles and need to take some hits to prep for GW37. Would you take a hit on anything this week in preperation or leave for now? Thinking M.Wilson > Stephens (-4) and play over B.Davies.

    Heaton
    Valencia, Baines, Brunt
    Hazard, Alexis, Alli, King (vc)
    Gabbiadini, Kane (c), Lukaku

    (Jakup)(Zaha, Baines, M.Wilson)

  28. januzki
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    34pts behind the leader in ML. Both have WC intact.

    Should I wildcard this week or leave it for the next week as the leader could copy my team when wildcarding GW36?

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

      Leave for next week if your team is decent enough

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

        Yeah I think so. Cheers.

  29. Lord Flashheart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Is gabbiadini on penalties?

    I'm looking for a tie breaker between two options:

    1 benteke (c)
    2 gabbiadini (c)

    ?

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

      1

  30. ILOVEBAPS
    • 13 Years

    Worth a hit to do Heaton > Cabby?
