FFS Cup

FFS Cups – Results and Quarter-Final Draws

We take some time this evening to find out who has made it through to the quarter-finals of our two Premier League cup competitions.

Topping the bill among the last eight ties is a Live Hall of Fame top ten derby between Mark, whose rank of 297 makes him the highest-placed remaining manager, and the 423-ranked My Pretty Pony (aka Peter Kouewenberg). While Mark has the rank advantage, Peter’s second placing in the Live Hall of Fame, compared to Mark’s sixth spot, could see him prevail.

Choppers13, who conquered Patio Kev in round five, takes on Team Fosu-Mensah, who is at 3,474 – 2,506 places behind his top 1,000-ranked opponent.

The third quarter-final looks likely to be another close affair, with Sleepysi ranked just 960 behind 1,192-placed Fouad Khan.

Given the current rank of the other six managers through, both 364,588-placed K3lviN and 229,821-ranked The Shaman will be breating a sigh of relief as they face each other in a clash of the competition’s lowest-ranked remaining managers by some distance.

The full quarter-finals draw can be found here.

Choppers13 is the Members cup’s highest ranked-manager – and the only one still in both competitions. He has, on the face of it, a far easier tie in the Members cup, when he takes on 132,642-ranked Barwood.

The giant-killing exploits of 46,996-placed rogerbarton have taken him into the quarter-finals. Fresh from seeing off an 88th-ranked Pukka in round four, Roger defeated 20,109-placed Dr Ennet in the final 16 to set up an encounter with aspern, another higher- ranked manager, who sits in 12,763,

Cheltnamshire lalala, who currently sits at 3,056 and defeated community writer Kryten in the last 16, will square up to 59,241-ranked Malaikat Jahad.

Elsewhere, 13,579-placed Dynamic is the favourite in his quarter-final tie with Thecrystalball, who is the contest’s lowest-ranked manager at 171,998.

The full quarter final 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.

        Gab has two games though

    3. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      Bench king if you want a high bench score only.

    4. Jazz!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      King should be the first man on your team sheet (after the DGWers arguably). Forget the pricist clowns above 😉

      Err tough one but Alli marginally ... *Gulp*

  3. Pique boo

    Triple Caltain Hazard this GW
    Bench Boost next GW
    Is that a good plan?

  4. Athletic Nasherbo

      Aye

      1. Athletic Nasherbo

        Guessing that's a yes?

  5. For Fuchs Sake

    How many minutes are we expecting from Gabbi in the first DGW?

    1. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      2 x 59 = 118.

      I can't decide whether to avoid altogether.

    2. Pique boo
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      Anywhere between 0-90

    help needed, who'd you start:

    Yosh or JWP???

    1. FPL Pillars

      Yosh

  11. Black Belt Jones
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 26 days ago

    Okay... I think that I'm finally there with my WC team. Any comments/suggestions hugely appreciated as always.

    Caballero (Pickford)

    Alonso Monreal Yoshida (Stephens Huth)

    Hazard Sanchez Sane Alli King

    Jesus Kane (Anichebe)

    I have 0.3m in the bank at present, so I'm thinking of doing Huth>Blind, although I'm concerned over Blind's game time.

    1. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      I'd almost be tempted to play Huth over Yoshida.

    2. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      could go Kos over Monreal with extra cash

      1. Black Belt Jones

        Thanks mate- I was thinking about that too... just enough. Do you think he's better/more nailed-on?

  12. You've got red on you.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 26 days ago

    Drawn towards b) but really like the idea of c) both Sane and Jesus. Finally, stick with a) and do b) or c) for free next week.

    a) Alonso, Sane and King (Benteke on bench)

    b) Alonso, King and Jesus (Albrighton on bench) -4

    c) Davies/Huth, Sane, Jesus (King on bench) -4

    1. Reggie Nainggolan
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      B is much better

      1. You've got red on you.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 26 days ago

        So Jesus over Sane then?

    Bailly to Monreal FT?

    1. Jazz!

      Yes.

    Alrights FFS, For three days I've been trying to figure out what on Earth to do with my team without a WC. I've had ideas of a -12 to just a single transfer, I just can't make my mind up

    DDG*/Pickford
    Alonso/Valencia*/Chambers*/Yoshida/Holgate
    Sanchez/Alli*/Eriksen/Zaha*/JWP*
    Kane/Lukaku*/Benteke*

    1 FT
    0.0 ITB
    * = Players I would be OK with removing.

    Jesus, Hazard, Ozil, Azpilicueta, Costa all tempt me I just know I can't fit em all and am having trouble deciding which ones to pick.
    Any thoughts whatsoever appreciated (Apologies for the RMT style post)

    1. Reuser
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      Playing Bench Boost in 37.

      For me, priority this week should be Hazard and Jesus - is that possible by shipping out Lukaku, Benteke and Zaha (and bringing in Anichebe)? -8

      Bringing in Monreal for Valencia for a further hit should pay off over the remaining game weeks.

      1. Reuser
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 26 days ago

        That first sentence should have ended in a question mark......

        1. Slam
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 26 days ago

          Yeah, that's the plan.
          Something like a -8 or -12 now and then ship Chambers -> Stephans for GW37 for a lovely 200 point bench boost week 😉

      2. Slam
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 26 days ago

        Look below, I was just considering this.
        Thanks a ton Ipswich, I'm off to have yet another think now 🙂

        -12 is unfortunate but hopefully will pay off handsomely over the next 3 weeks

        1. Reuser
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 26 days ago

          Great minds think alike... ☺️

          As Jazz says, wouldn't touch DDG and Alli at all. If you are looking for a cheap replacement for Chambers, Swansea have some cheap defenders and play Sunderland in 37 and WBA in 38.....

            • 8 Years

            ooooh good shout, a refreshing differential to the likes of Stephens.
            Also, with something to play for, thanks for your help again mate.

            You on a WC?

              7 years, 26 days ago

              I actually played my wildcard in 32 - turned out really well and after a handful of hits am pretty set for bb in 37 (may need to address Bailly and Stones next week - probably for Monreal and maybe a Swansea defender)

              Jaku, Pickford
              Alonso, Bailly, Stones, Stephens, Robertson
              Sanchez, Hazard, Alli, Eriksen, Sane
              Kane, Jesus, Anichebe

          But of course you are replacing 3 sgw players with 3 dgw players (in theory). With Valencia rotation, arguably 4 with 4.

          So that's 4 extra games for 12 points..... With better players (with the honourable exception of Anichebe).

          Bargain....

          1. Slam
            • 8 Years

            I do really like your thinking 🙂

    2. Jazz!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      Same situation here mate 🙂 No WC.

      Would definitely not want to remove Alli at all. Get that * away!!! DDG too!

      Lukaku + Benteke + Valencia to Jesus + Costa + Stephens (-8) possible? It'll be tight ...

      If not, then Lukaku + Benteke + Zaha to Jesus + Anichebe + Hazard. Yes, I know Anichebe is a bit lame but 4.5m for a very likely starter in both games and enables Hazard without having to sell Alli.

      1. Slam
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 26 days ago

        You know what, that second option there is something I was just considering right now.
        Do you think Valencia -> Monreal would be worth an additional -4 in that case? Would bring the total to -12 though, but wouldn't mind if it strengthens the team significantly

        1. Jazz!
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 26 days ago

          Hmm. Valencia will miss some PL games, so judging the hit individually as we should - for sure it should pay off. 🙂

          1. Slam
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 26 days ago

            Perfect, thanks for your help Jazz, feeling much better now.
            Any transfers in mind for yourself this week?

            1. Jazz!
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 26 days ago

              Will be a -8 for me. Already rage transferred Lukaku out. Have to prioritise Hazard now so will be doing Zaha + Gibson to Hazard + Holgate (-8) - I have funds ITB 🙂

              So we're going down a similar route.

              Good luck to us. 🙂

                Nice, wildcarding early didn't make me go up in rank much but it certainly prevented me from falling as the team I had before was utter dogshite.

                It is what it is, just waiting for the season to end at this point 🙂
                Good luck indeed

    3. Virgil Hilts
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      I'd get rid of Chambers, Zaha & Benteke and replace with 3 players that have DGWs

      1. Slam
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 26 days ago

        Thing is, with 0.0ITB the replacements in that price range is quite poor.

        1. Virgil Hilts
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 26 days ago

          Add in Lukaku to Jesus to free up funds as well if needed

    Kane, jesus, gabbi

    1. For Fuchs Sake

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Evening all.
    I need some 'chip' advise. I still have my triple captain, bench boost and wildcard all left to play. In what order should I use these?
    Part of me is thinking of using the triple captain for Kanes DGW.
    Any advise appreciated.

    1. Parm
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      I'd wildcard this week, bench boost next week, triple captain Hazard last GW.

    2. @fpl_phenom
      • 8 Years

      Im going to captain Hazard in 37.

      Utd dont give much away at the back.

  17. @fpl_phenom

    Thoughts now on Blind with united defenders coming back from injury?

    Thinking he will just take left back spot? Shaws gone for the seaon....

      1. @fpl_phenom

    PIPITA 😀

  19. istanbul05
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 26 days ago

    Willy, Pickford,
    Alonso, Gabriel, Yoshida, Stephens, Holgate,
    Sanchez, Hazard, Allí, King, Carroll,
    Kane, Costa, Jesus.

    £0.7m short for the above team, is the only option Alonso to Monreal?

    Thanks.

  20. For Fuchs Sake
    • 14 Years

    Dropping Gabbi to Anichebe allows more options, but a Double DGW comes around very rarely.

  21. Razmataz
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 26 days ago

    A) Azpil & Koschelny

    Or

    B) Cahill & Monreal

      7 years, 26 days ago

      B

    2. FPL Pillars

      50/50

  22. Ed
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 26 days ago

    A) Eriksen & Cech

    or

    B) Alli & Cabalerro

    Also got Monreal in defence. The Alli/Eriksen decision is very hard, feel like Alli's goals could potentially come back to bite.

    1. I Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 26 days ago

      B

      Wouldn't double up on Arsenal defence. Spread the risk with Willy.

  23. martyhan
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 26 days ago

    A. Play Davies
    Or
    B. Play Kos but with a -4

  24. FPL Pillars
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 26 days ago

    Cech, Willy,
    Alonso, Monreal, Yoshida, Stephens, Holgate,
    Sanchez, Hazard, Allí, King, J.Morrison,
    Kane, Costa, Jesus.

    GTG? 0.0 itb playing 3-4-3

      I don't rate Clichy either but giving him a one year deal is hardly the end of the world is it? He's used Kolarov at CB a lot and I'm sure he intends to buy a LB.

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • 10 Years

        He is not even good as back up. He can't cross, he can't shoot, he can't defend. Useless waste of space.

      If Albrighton to Carroll would allow Gabriel to Monreal, I'd go B

      If you're still 0.2 short, I'd do A and be tempted to change Cech and Pedro to Pickford and Walcott for a punt... then can always get Pedro for 37

        0.2 short unfortunately, will consider the other thanks.

      A but Put King into A instead of Pedro and use £ to upgrade a defender if you can

        Ty for reply, if i go Pedro > King would leave me 0.8 so could perhaps go Stephens > B.Davies...any good? Thanks.
