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.

    Pickford Cech

    BDavies Bailly Stones DLuiz Stephens

    Sanchez Hazard King Sane JWP

    Gabby Kane Costa

    GW 36 TC Sanchez and bench boost in 37 (might swap King out for a dgw then).

    Thoughts?

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

      Bavies not nailed with Rose coming back, have a feeling Bailly will be rested too. How much itb?

      1. TeddiPonza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        0,0 🙂 but on wc. Rose been out for a while. Sure he will get his position back?

    2. FF Dirtbag
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Don't like not having Eriksen. Or Alli tbh

  5. Lawrø
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Caballero
    Alonso / Bailly / Yoshida

    Benteke / Kane(c) / Gabbiadini

    Pickford / Sane / Vertonghen / Stephens

    1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…

        2-0

    2. Heavy Soul

      1. Lawrø
        • 14 Years

        Thanks!

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

      Nice team.. What's your team value??

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

        Just wildcarded so I've lost a lot of value but it's currently 105.2m with 1.2m in the bank 🙂

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

      Sane over Sanchez

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

        Boldest of calls... benching the highest scorer in the game playing OOP in a derby game, not sure I have the balls...

    5. Nazz
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      did u play ur wildcard this week

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

        Yep

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

      Pretty similar to mine. Went Costa for Tekkers though.

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

        Do you have a Jesus route? You must have ridiculous TV!

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

          Nope. Similar to yours. I left out Sane. Too much of a risk the both of them at this point imo. Will see for 37. Che have amazing fixs then, Kane is Kane so its got to be Gabbi.

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

            Didn't leave any itb either. Pick got upgraded to cech.

    7. p_laski
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I wish I had that.

      My TV is some 5 millions less and I currently with this

      Cabbalero / Pickford
      Alonso / Kelly / Yoshida / Monreal / Maguire
      Hazard / Sanchez / Sane/ Ward-Prowse / Pugh
      Kane / Gabbi / Costa
      0.7 ITB

      Should I keep Costa or try to upgrade i midfield?

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

        Get rid and upgrade that midfield!!!

  6. Heavy Soul
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Gibson to:

    A) Alonso
    B) Cedric
    C) Blind/Baily
    D) ?

    1. jimmy.floyd
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      A

  7. ScottyMaz12
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Best option to finish this wildcard team folks?

    Caballero, Pickford
    Alonso, Monreal, Blind, Stephens, Holgate
    Sanchez, Hazard, Alli, JWP, xxxxx
    Kane, Gabbiadini, xxxxx

    a) King & Costa
    b) Sane & Jesus

    1. Dasher0303
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Need city attack so b or even king and Jesus

  8. Dasher0303
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Stephens or Yoshida in for chambers??

    Are they both nailed??

  9. Man Chest Hair United
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Using all out attack this week.

    Which two to start in defence
    A Blind
    B Valencia
    C Alonso

    ?

    1. jimmy.floyd
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      AC

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

    is it a good shout or just really stupid to captain jesus ? Got a feeling. And is my lineup/Bench order right ?

    Pickford

    Alonso - Valencia - Stephens

    Sanchez - Hazard - Coutinho - Zaha

    Kane - Jesus - Gabbiadini

    Jakupovic - Townsend - Stones - Azpilicueta

    1. Super-Anders
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Pretty stupid, might just get 10-15 minutes and the match is already won.
      Im picking him now on my WC but dont expect much this game week.

    2. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I have Jesus but I don't think he's worth captaining

  11. jimmy.floyd
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Sanchez Zaha Alli Coutinho Tadic
    Kane Gabbi Tekkers

    Bench one?

  12. RVP20
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Siggy > King for a hit?

  13. FPL Pillars
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    King a good captain punt this week?

    1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      100%
      check his last 2 months' scores

      1. FPL Pillars
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        I need not check, had him for that time 🙂

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

      Yes.

  14. Super-Anders
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    On a WC and trying to decide my 5ht cheap mid. Will be used for benchboost GW37.

    A. Pugh Bou 4.6
    B. Davies Eve 4.6
    C. Ndidi Lei 4.7
    D. Can Liv 4.7
    E. Caroll Swa 4.1
    F. Fletcher Wba 4.5

    1. Dasher0303
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      C since DGW, maybe JWP if you can afford

  15. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    King or Costa captain?

    1. Dasher0303
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      King

  16. Dasher0303
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    What to do with this team??

    Heaton
    Valencia Brunt Davies
    Sanchez Alli Sane Zaha
    Lukaku Kane Negredo

    Jaku Cahill T.Carroll Chambers
    1ft 2.7itb

    Thinking chambers to Yoshida and Negredo to gabbiadini for a hit, or maybe Lukaku, T.Carroll to Gabs and Hazard for a hit??

  17. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    On a wildcard, who would you go for; Blind or Bailly? And why?

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

      Bailly. Will play even if one of Jones and Smalling come back.

    2. Dasher0303
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Blind, both nailed but more attacking and

    3. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Bailly, since he is nailed and Blind isn't

  18. MartialMatas
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Which 1 Week punt?
    A) Robertson -> Blind
    B) Lukaku -> Aguero

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

      B

  19. dhamphiir
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Any improvement needed in this WC team?
    Caballero, Pickford
    Alonso, Bailly, Gabriel, Yoshida, Holgate
    Sanchez, Hazard, Alli, Eriksen, Fletcher
    Kane, Costa, Gabbi

    1. Dasher0303
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      No city attack?? Alli to Sane for me and then Fletcher to king or JWP.

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        This

    2. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Anything itb?

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

        0.0 ITB

    3. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I presume Fletcher, holgate and Pickford are just the cheap enablers? Can you get any double gameweek players for their prices?

    4. Warmsy
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Yes some needed

    5. lordkippe
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      would probably look at downgrading costa. if you go for afobe you could get a pool/City mid for fletcher & Monreal over gabriel possibly.

      1. Camp No No
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Why would you downgrade Costa?

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

        Costa to Jesus and Fletcher to King?

    6. Camp No No
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Gabriel-Holgate double up, I get why, but wouldn't do it.

      Also, I don't think Sunderland defence, Pickford included, will get you much points.

      I, too, am a bit put off by Pep's unpredictability, but I'd still like more than a GK from City.

      The rest I like a lot. I understand that with that attack 7 you have to make sacrifices elsewhere.

  20. Coaly
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Blind Daniels or Monreal Stones?

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

      Gabriel and Daniels instead? Otherwise A, Stones may not get back in the team with Kompany and Ota doing well

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

        Mustafi expected back in GW37, otherwise that would be a great option

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

        Could do Monreal and a cheaper Bournemouth d like Smith

        Monreal has the extra game over Blind

  21. De_Roiste
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Who is gonna partner Kompany going forward? Otamendi or Stones?

    1. Dasher0303
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Stones

    2. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      They'll rotate

  22. Scratch
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    For a 1 week pre-WC punt

    Arnautovic or King

    1. Dasher0303
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Arnie

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

      Slightly favouring king

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

    A. Siggy>King
    B. Lukaku Siggy > Gabbi Haz (-4)
    C. Sanchez Siggy > Haz Coutinho (-4)

    1ft 0.0itb WC BB
    10pts behind rival who has Haz, Sané and Aguero...
    Thoughts very much appreciated.

    Pickford
    Alonso Valencia Pieters
    Sanchez Alli Eriksen Sigurdsson
    Kane Lukaku Benteke

    (Heaton ASmith Gibson TCarroll)

    1. FPLord
      • 16 Years

      A

      1. Legomane

        Cheers

  24. FPL Pillars
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Any WC with Fletcher can improve 😀

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

    A Gibson > Blind -4
    B Play Gibson or Valencia (will most likely be benched)

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

    Any suggested WC improvements appreciated. 2.3 in bank.

    A bit worried about having no City attack this week.

    Caballero, Pickford
    Bailly, Monreal, Yoshiba, Smith, Maguire
    Sanchez, Hazard, King, Erik, Caroll
    Benteke, Kane, Gabby

  27. Nobodinho
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Lukaku > Tekkers(-4) as an 1 week punt. Did Negredo to Gabbi earlier.

    Yay or nay?

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

      Luk will score

  28. WE GO FOR IT
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Pick one(till the end of the season):
    A. Gabriel
    B. Clichy/Sagna/Zabaleta
    C. Ward
    D. Yoshida (already have Cedric)
    E. Monreal (Have to get Benteke/Rashford instead of Jesus)

    Pick one for this GW:
    1. Hazard (eve)
    2. Sanchez (tot)

  29. Mickey Tyrion™
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Activating wildcard tomorrow. 1 FT with 7.2 ITB. Who to get in? A punt, or potentially someone who's rising in price?

    Heaton (Jaku)
    Kelly - Valencia - Pieters (Friend, Davies)
    Cout - King - Zaha - Alli - Lanzini
    Kane - Kaku (Negredo)

    So, Im 65 points behind the Ml leader (he's 300 overall). The only player we have in common in our starting 11 is Valencia, these are my differentials

    Alonso, McAuley, Hazard, Alli, Coutinho, Zaha, Kane, Lukaku, Gabbiadini

    I have my WC & BB. He has TC.

    Hit me with it, do I have any chance?
