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.

    Dilemma 1: Best 5th mid to play in 37 for 4.5 or under?

    Dilemma 2: keep Bailly or get vertonghen now instead of in acouple of weeks?

    On that captain choice thing: Harry Kane has never not scored against Arsenal when he's faced them in the Premier League.

      Neither has messi

      1. enrico.palazzo
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        But he's actually played arsenal in the PL

        Why is it a joke?!

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

          Well, anyway. Kane has scored against Arsenal every time they've played in the PL. It's helped make my mind up!

    Aim is TC Sanchez in 36 and then Bench Boost in 37 (14 DGWers at present i think)

    Willy || Pickford
    Monreal | Vertongen | Stephens || Holgate | Kone
    Sanchez | Hazard | Alli | JWP || Capoue
    Kane (C) | Gabbiadini | Jesus

    1. enrico.palazzo
      • 13 Years

      Jones doesn't seem to be nailed anymore

      1. enrico.palazzo
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Kone ***

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

          Are there any nailed DEFs, with DGW incoming, under 4.3?

          Other than Yoshi, Stephens, Holgate of course!! lol

    2. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

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

      Holgate, Capoue weak leanks for DGW.

      1. Park the bus
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Holgate home to Watford! Good pick for the cash he has to spend on that slot. Can kone go to someone else? Yoshi?

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

          Only if i got rid of JWP...

    4. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Id lose Sanchez, bring him in next week and shoot for someone with a good fixture this week...then youre not stuck with both JWP and Capoue too...

    5. Totti
      • 9 Years

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

        No, but i think eventually Pep will give in to his love for Jesus

    1. Lav
      • 9 Years

      Nice

  13. Football Heaven
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Should I take -8 for gabbiadini eriksen and willy- I currently have rashford alli and grant (heaton is my main choice)

    1. Athletic Nasherbo
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

  14. dra_mit
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    As Valencia is not gonna start against Swansea
    Should I go -4 and who would you get instead
    (have Alonso, Smith, Yoshida and Nyom)

    1. enrico.palazzo
      • 13 Years

    3.5 ITB 2 FT

    Who goes this week?

  17. McQueen
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Haz or Gabbi for free?

    1. M00N
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Gabbi

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

      Gabbi this weekend.

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

    Why no love for Kun on these 1 week punts?

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

      Jesus calling.

    2. M00N
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Too expensive. Most require major surgery to get him in. A great punt if you can afford to.

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

      I'm torn between him and Gabbiadini. If Jesus was still injured I'd go Kun all day long but now worried he'll be rested

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

      Too expensive even for a 1 week punt

    5. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Under threat!

  19. L9

    rate my wc team
    caballero pickford
    alonso monreal kelly holgate stephens

    unfortunately no space for king

  20. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Pick one please;

    a) Start Zaha and save FT.

    b) Bench Zaha and do Negredo > Gabbiadini.

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

      A

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

        Exact same decision and I'm doing B. Used my WC last week so I'd probably take a hit next week for Gabbi anyway. Plus, that 0.1 after tonight makes a difference to future transfers.
        Already have Benteke so some CPL cover.

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

    Siggy + Negredo -> Hazard + Gabbi for -4

    Yes or No?

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

      Yes

    2. M00N
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I would

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

    Will hazard rise tonight?

    1. M00N
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Hard to tell with all the wildcards being activated. Its going to be close, I'll guess no.

  23. mike_89
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Caballero Pickfor
    Bailly Huth Alonso Monreal Yoshida
    Alli Eriksen Alexis Hazard King
    Gabbi Kane Anichebe

    Is this gtg?

    Other option is to change Alli/Eriksen for Albrighton and get Benteke instead of Anichebe and some money ITB for potential Benteke Jesus swap? Some advice would be appreciated.

  24. Feed tha Sheep
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Do we know for definite that Bravo is gone for season? Was there even a city presser today?

  25. richard.antal
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    A) Smith to Stephens
    or
    B) Valencia to Bertrand/Yoshida

  26. Atwood
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Using my wildcard next gameweek, so I can use Bench Boost in GW37. Anyone worth bringing in for this week only?

    Pickford
    Brunt - Bailly - Valencia - Alonso
    Coutinho - Alli - Eriksen
    Lukaku - Kane - Benteke

    Grant - Capoue - Holgate - Carroll

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

      Maybe Yoshi for Brunt?

  27. Dazzler365
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Does anyone think this would pay off?
    Heaton to caballero
    Gibson to blind
    Siggy to king
    Zaha to Arnie
    Cheers

    Costa > Benteke for one week only? Free transfer.

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

      Costa looks decent!

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

        Ugly as f*** if you ask me, but I expect some goals from him in nearby future.

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

          Hah fair point
