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.

    Jesus owners looking fwd to your 1 pt cameo ? 😉

    1. Captain Blanks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Could bench this week if i get anyway...

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 17 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        That would be a shrewd move me thinks

    2. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Always 😉

    3. Feed tha Sheep
      • 13 Years

      Scud for non owners

    4. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      That's my secret, I'm always disappointed

    5. *sigh*
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Oh no do you mean his goal will be marginally offside again?

  2. Chris_White
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    I'm really struggling between King and Sané.

    King has one less game, but more likely to play every game and get 90 mins. He also enables me to play Zaha(HUL) on the bench boost in 37 compared to Carroll(sun) or someone else cheap for a hit.

    Would you just go King? I'm getting Jesus this week anyways.

    1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      King

    2. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I would def go king. Sane looked shattered last night so not sure he'll play every game

    3. Feed tha Sheep
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      King best value for money in FPL

    4. WVA
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      If your getting Jesus then King but personally I'd get Sane and a different striker, Jesus injury and rotation risk atm.

      1. Chris_White
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I'm willing to take my chances on Jesus. I think he'll play every game from now on, Pep wants to get him involved again.

        1. Spike ⚽️
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Is that what he actually said or are you wishful thinking?

    5. Chris_White
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Cheers fellas. Looks like I'm bringing in King tonight 🙂

    6. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      King all day....

  3. FirminoIsBetterThanYou
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Who to go for Clichy (for a risk) or Bertrand?

    1. Chris_White
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Bertrand. Clichy will share gametime with Kolarov.

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Neither. Clichy a rotation risk. Bertrand not worth the price over Yoshida with their fixtures / defensive form.

    3. Camp No No
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I wouldn't pay the City defence prises for a defender that is not nailed on. That means any City defender except a fit Kompany.

      If I was buying a risky City defender, it would be Stones, because he is cheaper.

  4. Prøfeßör …
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Choose one to play please.

    A) Ward
    or

        • 9 Years

        Thanks both!

        You've convinced me, I'll start with Alonso.

  6. JJeyy
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

  8. AYEW KI-EDEN MEE
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    6 foot 5 Llorente up against 5 foot 11 Blind. Don't say I didn't warn you

    1. Feed tha Sheep
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      He might not have as much luck against 6'2 and in-form Bailey

  9. oedyb22
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    A) Siggy and Negredo to Hazard and Afobe for -4

  18. Mickey Tyrion™
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Bottomed. 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)

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Needs Haz imo

    2. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Or Gabbi for Negredo

    3. mahone24
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Hardly a flair move but maybe De Gea?
      Otherwise Haz for Zaha or Lanzini

  19. mahone24
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Cant decide whether to pull the WC trigger this week:

    A/ Current team
    Heaton (Pickford)
    JEvans Valencia Bavies (Amat) (Gibson)
    Sanchez King Cout Ali (Son)
    Benteke Lukaku Gabbi (will transfer in for Ibra)

    B/ WC
    Willy (Pick)
    Blind Yoshida Stephens (Gabriel) (Holgate)
    Haz Cout Ali King (Sanchez) Cout to become Eriksen next week.
    Kane Gabbi Jesus

    Back and forth all week

    1. Mickey Tyrion™
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Without digging into detail, that WC team doesn't look too much better than your current for GW 35. Might as well save until tomorrow.

      1. mahone24
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks - needed to hear that. Will hold fast

        1. Mickey Tyrion™
          • 10 Years

          Cheers. Chime in above would be appreciated m8

  20. richard.antal
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Need to free up 0.2 to do Negredo-> Gabbi, what should I do?

    A) Smith -> Stephens
    B) Valencia -> Bertrand
    C) Valencia -> Yoshida

    Or any other reccommendation? Thanks!

    1. *sigh*
      • 14 Years

  21. Coaly
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    How is this defence?

    Willy Pickford
    Alonso Monreal Cook Holgate Stephens

    0.2 itb

    Cook and Holgate no DGWs but not seeing much else around those prices

    Ranocchia another option @4.5

    1. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Seems fair.

  22. TeddiPonza

    Cech Pick
    Blind Monreal Vertongen Stones Stephens
    JWP King Alexis Hazard Sane
    Gabby Kane Costa

    TC Sanchez 36, BB 37

    1. enrico.palazzo
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I think so - but this injury may change things, look at willy instead for 4.7

            1. mahone24
              • 16 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

  23. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
    • 14 Years
