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.

  1. Coaly
    • 13 Years

    Vertonghen or Bailly?

    1. Garth Marenghi
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Bailly

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

      Bailly.

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

    Is there a better 4.4 defender than Maguire who has DGW's? I already have Yoshida and Holgate.

    1. Garth Marenghi
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Not really, maybe Stephens, then a stretch is Holding. Gabriel is close at 4.8

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

      Stephens for me.

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

    Quick vote lads:

    1. JWP+Blind
    2. Albrighton+Baiily

    (Unfortunately I cant do JWP+Bailly - 0.1 short)

    1. Garth Marenghi
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      1

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

        Is both JWP and Albrighton on set pieces? One of them will be my 5th mid

        1. Garth Marenghi
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Pretty sure jwp is

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

      Number 1 just.

  4. Haz84
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    hello guys
    what do you think about this WC draft :

    Caballero , Pickford
    Alonso , Stephens , Yoshida , Holgate , Gabriel
    Hazard , Alli , Sanchez , King , Firminho
    Benteke , Gabiadini , Kane

    1. Garth Marenghi
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Not a big fan of Roberto, would prefer a dgw player.

      1. Haz84
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        would do
        Firminho to Eriksen
        King to Albrighton
        Benteke to Jesus

        over the next 2 GWs
        ifnothing goes wrong

        1. Garth Marenghi
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          * I don't have my wildcard, so I was viewing it in terms of transfers from this week to 38, versus just a lineup for 35

    2. Garth Marenghi
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Benteke after gw35 is suspect as well.

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

      Firmino is a no no. Benteke? Is he out for. Jesus?

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

    Has the world found an answer for the Alli vs Eriksen dilemma yet?

    Currently on WC, I can sell Alli for 9.0 and get Eriksen for 8.8, which would be give me 0.2 itb for the last GWs.

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

      I would say if trying to catch pick the one your rival hasn't got, and the same player if leading.

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

        Nice one. Cheers.

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

      Eriksen has more double digit scores recently.

  6. upforgrabs
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Caballero - Pickford
    Alonso - Monreal - Yoshida - Stephens - X
    Sánchez - Hazard - Alli - Sané - King
    Kane - Gabbiadini - X

    For the empty spots:
    A) Bailly & Benteke
    or
    B) Holgate & Jesus

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

      A for now then you can always make that move later on if Jesus is looking good

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

      A right now.

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

    Siggy to who?

    A) King
    B) Arnautovic
    C) Coutinho
    D) Firmino
    E) Silva (David Silva of Man City)

    1. Garth Marenghi
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      A or B

    2. XABI 15
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      King

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

      King

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

        I thought there would be more votes for Liverpool players tbh

  8. Tomas Brolin ate all Depays
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Bench one

    Alli
    Lukaku
    King
    Sanchez
    Eriksen
    Zaha
    Benteke
    Gabbi

    1. Maarrrr17
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Zaha or Gabbi

    2. Krafty Werks
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Was just about to ask pretty much the same, between Zaha and Eriksen i guess?

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

      Zaha

    4. XABI 15
      • 10 Years

  9. Maarrrr17
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    For those who still have Wildcard, Triple Captain and Bench Boost, Whats your plan?

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

      WC 35, TC 36, BB 37.

      BB 36 and TC 37 is a maybe a gamble worth taking.

      1. Maarrrr17
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        37 TC Hazard?

    2. FF Dirtbag
      • 14 Years

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

        I've considered doing this with King, just can't get rid of either Spurs mid from my team

  15. rogerbarton

    Regretting the choice to go for Negredo over Benteke last week.
