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.

    Cheers!

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

      Valencia not getting played a risk.
      Gabbi
      I'm taking a risk on Sane. I know he had a poor game but I think he'll get another shot. Pep likes him

  4. Sarnab
    • 14 Years

    Please RMWCT

    Caba Pickford
    Alonso Kompany Gabriel Stephens Holgate
    Sanzhez Hazard Eriksen King Albrighton
    Kane Gabbi Benteke

    Enough in the bank to do one of these next week:

    Benteke to Jesus
    or
    Benteke to Costa

    1. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Don't like Gabriel - would go Blind instead
      But otherwise spot on

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

        Thanks. Gabriel seems nailed on to me. Arsenal will play 3 at the back

        1. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          And because of that they'll continue not to keep CS's

          1. Lone Wolf
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            and Mustafi is out for another 2 weeks. he's nailed for now

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

            Didn't they keep one on Wednesday?

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

    Play Ben Davies or Son?

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

      Son

  6. SheBangsTheDrums
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Worth taking a hit on Valencia to Bailly?

  7. NATSTER
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Take (-4) to do Valdes -> Caballero ?

    Team for GW35 now.

    Jaku (Valdes)
    Valencia - Alonso - Yoshida (Stephens, Baines)
    Sanchez - Coutinho - Alli - Eriksen (Zaha)
    Kane - Lukaku - Gabbiadini

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Not for me. Too risky as you are relying on a clean sheet.

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

        Thanks you. That sounds reasonable.

  8. Jacket Potato
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Negrado to .. For a one week punt ?

    A) Vardy
    B) Benteke
    C) Gabbi

    Front 8:
    Zaha, Alli, Sterling, Sanchez, JWP
    *Negrado, Lukaku, Kane (C)

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

      I went with Gabbi

      B

    3. Salah'd n Sauce

    5. Rones
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I did C (and plan to captain Kane)

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

    Anyone thinking about going without alexis for the double ? Özil gives you 2.1 extra itb to play with

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

      The mating call of the loser that is :p

    2. MANGE TOUT RODNEY
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Yes I've got Ozil. Allows you to upgrade 2-3 other players.

    3. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Yep. Sanchez will have to look a lot more explosive this week to make it worth it.

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

    Thoughts on getting Rose on a WC this week looking forward to a BB next week? Would like a Spurs defender for GW36,37 and would anyway be benching them this week.

    1. MANGE TOUT RODNEY
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      No guarantees he'll be back

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

        Ok thanks 🙂
        I got confused by the flag going from red to yellow and then the price dropping also, but it's back to red now.

    2. MANGE TOUT RODNEY
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      How about Vertonghen?

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

        That's a good option. I'll probably do that then. Although Rose back would have been nice. His points ceiling is so much higher.

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

      No guarantee that any Spurs fullbacks will start both matches.

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

        True... That's why I'm swapping Walker out in the first place after holding on to him since the very beginning. Oh well, have to settle for a centre-back then.

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

    Morning,

    Been toying with WCs, leading all my MLs so it's fairly (very) template

    Currently have Jesus, Alonso, Montreal & Jwp (24.4)

    Any suggestions? Just unsure of Jesus, perhaps Benteke as a place holder but would be without city cover against undoubtedly one of the worst sides they'll face this year

  12. Rex Lapis
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    which one?
    A. Coutinho, Benteke
    B. Tadic, Jesus

    rest of the front 8
    Sanchez Hazard King Eriksen ___
    Kane Gabbiadini ___

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

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

      If you on WC So B
      But This GW A

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

        So Difficult

        1. Rex Lapis
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          ya..same problem like yours

          Benteke most likely sit on my bench next GW

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

    Which is better to Pick on WC ??
    A- Benteke & Coutinho
    B- Costa & Ozil

    A is Better for this Week BUT Gonna Change both player for GW 36 & 37

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

    Decent alternatives for JWP under 5.0?

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

      Albrighton?

    2. Totally J
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Albrighton

    3. Sarnab
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Albrighton I have gone for

    4. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Albrighton? Don't laugh.

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

        Albrighton is the best

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

        Pretty set then... not a rotation risk?

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

      Albrighton

  15. Totally J
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    How's my WC team

    Willy pick
    Alonso koc bailly yosh huth
    Sanchez hazard sane albrighton jwp
    Costa gabbi vardy

    No spurs. Yikes

    1. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      No Spurs and you're relying on Albrighton or JWP
      Needs work imo

  16. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Never been so u sure about Captain pick or transfer options

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

      Really akward captain pick this week.

    2. Sonic Huth
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Kane,Gabbi,King,Tekkers how can one even decide

  17. Lone Wolf
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    I know that I will run my WC team for sure..I saw this:

    "More than 3 players selected from Southampton."

  18. No Pirlo No Party
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Willy - Pickford
    Alonso - Gabriel -Yoshida - Stephens - Holgate
    Sanchez - Hazard - Alli - King - JWP
    Kane - Costa - Anichebe

    Playing around with Costa - Anichebe - JWP

    Costa + Anichebe ---> Benteke + Gabby?
    With this I am 0.4 short of Benteke to Jesus next GW

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

      Not if you go eriksen instead of alli

  19. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Quick morning poll - Best GW transfer with a view to keep until GW38?
    A Valencia to Blind

    Or Gibson to
    B Blind
    C Monreal
    D Kompany
    E Daniels

  20. Sonic Huth
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Not seeing any Spurs defenders is many teams. Am i missing something?

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

      You're missing one of Kane, Alli or Eriksen

      1. Sonic Huth
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Even with only two of them, Many have gone 0 spurs in defence. Is it the away form?

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

      A lot have Alli Eriksen Kane like me

      1. Sonic Huth
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Well a spurs defender is not a wrong choice in any way, right?

    3. MANGE TOUT RODNEY
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I have Vertonghen. Most nailed and cheaper than Toby

      1. Sonic Huth
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Same

  21. _Gunner
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Who is a better pick?

    A- Yoshida
    B- Cedric

    1. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      A imo

    2. MANGE TOUT RODNEY
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      A

  22. Vic Rattlehead
      8 years, 10 months ago

      On a WC, pick one:

      A) Monreal + Alli

      B) Kompany + Eriksen

      I already have cover from City in Caballero, by the way.

      Thoughts?

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

        A

      2. Rones
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        A for me (prefer Alli and worry about Kompany getting injured)

    • Sarnab
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Just to bring the crowd to my side:

      Costa will really do well till the end of the season. How many going with him?

      1. KLOPPS AND ROBBERS... the s…
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

      2. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Trying to work him in too
        Will know more after this week if he's still hungry

      3. Vamonos
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Money there for him or Jesus after this weekend

    • KLOPPS AND ROBBERS... the s…
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      For DGWs
      A, Ozil, Sane
      B, Sanchez, JWP or similar

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

      Who to Bench?

      Hazard, King, Sanchez, Sane, Eriksen
      Gabbi, Benteke, Costa

      1. KLOPPS AND ROBBERS... the s…
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Sanchez?

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

          I think I'm getting to the same conclusion

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

            At least if he has a blinder I can TC him with confidence next week to ease the pain

      2. La Roja
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Sane

      3. OptimusBlack
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Sane

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

      Who would you start?

      a. Stephens (HUL)
      b. Pieters (WHU)

      1. TLF
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Pieters, Hull are playing well at the moment and likely to score

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

          Cheers. Thats my thinking as well

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

      On WC. Keep Alli over Eriksen if nearest chaser 42pts behind has Alli and grab Martial for 1 week then to Sanchez next week. Most of Spurs games away and Alli better stats then Eriksen

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

        Yep, keep Alli. Not much in it probably...

    • Doar1986
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Good to go on WC?

      Plan for Hazard to Sanchez next week, can't think of any other Arsenal players worth having.

      Willy - Courtois

      Rose (gamble) Valencia Bertrand Prodi Colgate

      Hazard JWP Sane Eriksen King

      Kane Jesus Gabbi

      Thinking go King (C), i'm not chasing, won the ML, just want to finish with a good Overall rank after an awful week last week
