The latest round of the FFS Cup wittled down our selection of moderators left in the competition.

Blank Gameweek 33 proved costly to G-Whizz, whose score of 58 was beaten by Insanity Later‘s 75.

That denied us the chance to see a Moderator Derby in the sixth round, although Rotation’s Alter Ego still made it through unscathed.

He saw off sirangepostapoosalot by a 85-81 scoreline.

Ranked the highest in round five, at 332 in the world, HPCAMPBELL secured passage to the last 16 with an 83-55 win over Yasar Khan.

Fellow high-flyer Lal Toofan, ranked 639, beat pkalogirou by just one point in an 80-79 victory and is now set for a showdown with Rotation’s Alter Ego.

Vulken is the lowest ranked remaining competitor, currently at 851,620th worldwide.

    All feedback gratefully received.

      Great team

    2. Amey
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Triple Brighton Defense not for me.

    3. Don Kloppeone

      6 years, 10 months ago

      You’ve gotta have a high TV!

      Do you have.any cash itb?

      Personally I would go for Lloris over Ryan.

      Downgrade Mané and bring him back for GW36?

      1. The Polymath
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        0.2 ITB, Mane idea could work.

    4. shearer9
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Midfield is set up for a weekly bench headache. And you're gonna bench Doherty this week I'm guessing? He could do well.

      1. The Polymath
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Yep. Ready for DGW35 BB

    5. MGD
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Nice!

      Downgrade one of Salah/Mane?

      Why Vardy? Fixtures not that great and only SGWs..

      I would also go for Lloris as spurs looked pretty good defensively of late and fixtures are good

      1. The Polymath
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Vardy on form. Could deliver.

    6. No Salah
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Insane TV! Looks impossible!

    7. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Not convinced on Aguero, or Salah

      Firmino and Sterling is a better pairing IMO.

      You are going to be benching Jota most weeks it seems...seems a waste.

      Maybe downgrade Jota to a JWP and cover the Spurs defence with Lloris/Trippier

  2. sovietrockettes
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    -8 with Kane

    1. Andy'81
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Could be a few of them knocking about this GW. For the rest of us it's like starting the GW with a green arrow already which is nice.

  3. lindeg
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    who would you choose between kun and sterling for the rest of the season?

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Aguero

    2. The Sociologist
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Points tally suggests Sterling

    3. Majestic Chanka
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      The first name I come to looking down the total points column on FPL site.

  4. Flynny

    Hi...ant views on better wildcard to bb35 options here?

    Foster Ryan
    Vertonghen XXX Doherty duffy valery
    Sterling mane eriksen son xxx
    Xxx jiminez deeney

    A ....robbo jota vardy (lose vardy for 35, maybe laca)

    B. ...TAA jota lukaku

    C.....TAA JWP kun (wonder if kun and sterling is too much city with rotation)

    Thanks

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      I’d lose sterling for Mane/KDB/maybe Salah then go from there you’ll end up happier

  5. Hands Guber
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Anybody looking at Jesus as an option now?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Definitely not. Aguero still the man at city imo

      1. shearer9
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        I see what you did there

    2. Ask Yourself
      • 9 Years

      No reason to

  6. sovietrockettes

    Duffy TC - insane or worth a go?

    1. lindeg
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      definitely a punt, would do if chasing

    2. Ask Yourself
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Can’t go much worse than my Sane TC 1 pointer

      1. Rocky FPL
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Amen

    3. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      if you wont be disappointed if he ends up with 2-3pts, then its fine

      1. shearer9
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        What kind of an answer is that

      2. shearer9
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Does this not apply to each and every TC option all season?

    4. If it pays off you will be my hero

      1. sovietrockettes
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        I’m doing it.....partly because I’m angry about Kane’s injury after a -8 to bring him in...partly because I’m 45 points behind the ML leader and I need a big shift in momentum.....

  7. simong1

        Cheers boys

  11. Invincibles
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    I’m getting Vardy on the WC and want to shift him next week (for laca).

    Is it worth getting Camarasa this week if it takes a -4 to remove him for 35

    A) Yes
    B) No

    1. TheDragon
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Planning -4’s a week after wild carding isn’t typically a good idea

    2. The Sociologist
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Who are you shifting Camarsa for? JWP a strong option, or Romeu if you're short of funds.

      I'm not even sure I'd swap Vardy for Laca in GW35, and I'm an Arsenal fan...

      Arsenal poor away from home, Vardy has hit his stride, and West Ham are all over the place defensively. Vardy against Arsenal in GW36 looks like the kind of game he'd likely to enjoy too.

      1. Invincibles
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        I would like Jota for 35. To leave me with a mid of:
        Son Eriksen mane sterling jota

        1. The Sociologist
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 10 months ago

          I'd say that's probably the ideal midfield for 35!

          1. Invincibles
            • 12 Years
            6 years, 10 months ago

            Cheers. It’s going to come down to either getting jota this week or next.

  12. Majestic Chanka
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    RMWCT (no BB)
    Ryan
    Robbo Duffy Laporte/Mendy Doha
    Sterling Son KDB Eriksen Salah
    Jimi

    Guaita Long Valery Quan

    Enough ITB to change Duffy to any Defense I want after 34.

    1. Don Kloppeone
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      I think that bench is way too risky with so much rotation on the cards.

      I would drop KDB to Jota/ JWP and use to upgrade striker

    2. Invincibles
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Salah > mane, Laporte over mendy.

      Get deeney. Gives you options for 35 and beyond

  13. Shatner's Bassoon
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    If I was free hitting I'd go with KDB, but on WC surely we'd back Sterling to outscore him over the final 6 games?

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Depends who has a role in the big UCL games. If KDB is the talisman to win the title then he is the optimum WC pick

      1. Shatner's Bassoon
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        I'd still put Sterling / Kun as talismen above KDB personally. See what you're saying though.

    2. Majestic Chanka
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Both?

      1. Shatner's Bassoon
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Possibly... tough, given I want Eriksen + Son as well though!

        Power five returns...

        There's so many decent looking budget midfielders though - JWP/Jota/Watford mid. Feels silly to pump cash there.

    3. Old Gregg
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Really tempted by KDB on WC. So difficult to call

  14. #FPLBhuna

    gtg?

    ryan
    duffy(c) - dunk - trippier/vertonghen
    son - eriksen - sterling - pogba - mane
    rashford - ings

    foster - jiminez - robertson - laporte

    1. KingOllie
      • 10 Years

      not sure you will want double united after they get punished tonight

      1. #FPLBhuna
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        haha let's see

        the luxury of being on a wc aint it

    2. Amey
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Ha
      All eggs in Brighton basket.
      Good luck buddy.

      I'd start Jimenez over ings ( Insgy 😛 )

    3. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Ings over Jimenez this week, why?

      Reports now says herrera might be out whole season, if Pogba was an option despite reason loss of form he is not now, at least that´s what i think

      seems nice otherwise, not sold on sterling myself but this Kane injury makes it hard to actually use all money.

    4. The Sociologist
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Some differential picks there, but I imagine that's what you're going for?

      I think Ings is a yellow flag waiting to happen... no love for Troy? I fear that Arsenal don't have the 'cojones' to keep him out...

      1. #FPLBhuna
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        i'm considering deeney in place of rash possibly, gives me 2.1m itb

        haha not deliberately going for differentials just going for a team i think that could do well haha

        1. The Sociologist
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 10 months ago

          I'd probably make that move!

  15. dark91
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    I wouldn't mind the honour of being the "lowest ranked remaining competitor" but I can see that Vulken is 😀

    1. Majestic Chanka
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      I was thinking that when I looked at the draw!

      1. dark91
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        I see it as an 'honourable' mention 😉

    2. RedLightning
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years

      I spotted that too, and have reported it to David.

      1. dark91
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Ok thanks 🙂

  16. Simon69
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Have the cash to free hit Vardy > Aguero... Worth it? Newcastle a juicy fixture but I'm wary of being without Kun for the run in.

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Can not save and do 2 transfers next week ?

  17. TaiwanHC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Thoughts on this WC team? 0.0 ITB.

    Lloris - Ryan
    Robertson - TAA - Laporte - Duffy - Valery
    Sterling - De Bruyne - Son - Eriksen - Jota
    Firmino - Jimenez - Deeney

    Thanks guys!

  18. SuperDan
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Do I take a hit this week or next to get Kun in for Barnes?

  19. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    I'm gonna.atop worrying about who starts and.who might get rotated. Son is close from essential he could even get return with limited minutes

    1. Amey
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Exactly same thinking 🙂
      We have bench strength anyway.

  20. Trilly
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Here's my WC team:

    Ryan Foster
    Val Dunk Duffy Robbo Doh
    Eriksen Son Mane Sterling Jota
    Aguero Deeney Jimi

    0.7M ITB BB35

    I wanted to ask if downgrading Jota to a 5.8M is worth upgrading Ryan to Lloris. Any advice would be appreciated! Cheers

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Nice !!

    2. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      KDB instead of Sterling and then Lloris for Ryan is an option? Otherwise, JWP for Jota?

      1. Trilly
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Cheers. KDB is something I would advise others to do but I'm leading in ML and rival has Sterling. I'll go JWP for Jota and maybe consider Redmond who's passing the eye test quite nicely these days.

    3. ã…¤Rising
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      You might as well downgrade him since you will bench him outside of 35 anyway,too much money on bench, I would go JWP

      1. Trilly
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Cheers, makes a lot of sense. I'll do that

    4. simong1
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Literally the exact same as my team currently! I'm debating on switching to the below defence to get Lloris in though...

      Ryan Lloris
      Val Dunk Duffy TAA Doh

      So basically Foster & Robbo > Lloris & TAA. Which do you think is the stronger option? Would be nice having a Watford defender also!

      1. Trilly
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        I think TAA and Robbo are basically equal. Trent is slightly more dangerous but also slightly more at risk of rotation meaning it comes down to Foster v Lloris. I would take Lloris.

        Can you afford

        Foster Lloris
        Val Dunk Duffy TAA Doh?

        1. simong1
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 10 months ago

          I'd be just short of that unfortunately. Guess I could downgrade Doherty to Coady and afford it, or else just roll with the triple BRI defence

  21. cigan
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    ... for the 4th & 5th midfield pick respectively

    A) Deulofeu
    B) Doucoure
    C) Jota

    &

    1) JWP
    2) Hojbjerg

    1. cigan
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      currently on

      Lloris Foster
      Laporte TAA Doherty Duffy Valery
      Sterling Eriksen Son Deulofeu JWP
      Aguero Vardy Jimenez

      1 Brighton defender enough?
      Could also get Camarasa and then change to a SOU mid next week but worried about the potential need for other transfers

    2. Trilly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      A and 2

      Jota is quality but more consistent, we know Deulofeu is just as if not more talented but he seems a lot more inconsistent. Doucoure is a shout if his advanced role is permanent but seems an unnecessary gamble compared to the other two.

      Hojbjerg a lot more influential in open play and I don't like relying on a direct set piece goal or assist (unless it's a certain Crystal Palace CM).

      1. cigan
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Thanks!

      2. cigan
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        good points - A2 gives me 1.1 to spare too, which would make getting more LIV in later easier

        1. Trilly
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 10 months ago

          I seem to be the only person recommending Hojbjerg ahead of JWP though so be warned!

      I'd be tempted to try and squeeze Robbo into there somehow. Highest scoring defender with a pretty tasty run of fixtures. Maybe Rashford > Deeney to gather some funds?

    No love for Alli?

      If fit, sure!

      Think Eriksen and Son are better options for now though.

        Yeah, heard about that.. waiting for pressers from Poch but if he’s fit I will pick him over Eriksen

          There's that interesting stat about Alli stepping up whenever Kane is injured...food for thought but Erik+Son just makes too much sense.

    Any love for Lloris / Gunn GK combo for the rest of the season?

    Other than the DGWs I think I'd struggle to find a GK out of Foster/Ryan that I'd actually feel confident about playing...

      I’m on Lloris, Foster
      I only have Foster for DGW35 due to lovely fixtures

      If you need the 0.3 cash then Gunn over Foster should work

    2. bench boost for every gamew…

      for me it´s all about that DGW for Watford, i really want to have a defender and while Gunn is a very good choice on his own i prefer one of their defenders instead and Watford have none defenders i actually think will play twice bar Foster. Having a 4.6 goalie for some weeks without playing him is really not an issue for me. With this kane injury budget is much easier to manage as well.

      A if you have Jimi

  26. Emiliano Sala

    Lucas moura or alli ??

    1. DAVESAVES
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Alli if Poch says he’s fit

      1. Emiliano Sala
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        But moura may play as CF?

        1. DAVESAVES
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 10 months ago

          or Son or Llorente.

          Could be a great pick. Too risky for me

    A laca and knockaert (to jwp gw35)
    B pogba and Murray (to deeney gw35)

    My first of many iterations I'm sure!
    WC + BB35

    Ryan - Foster
    TAA - Robertson - Duffy - Trippier - Valery
    Mane - Pogba - Erikson - Son - Pereyra
    Augero - Murray - Jimenez

    Captain for 34:
    A)Murray
    B)Duffy

    Captain for 35:
    No idea!?

    Any input would be greatly appreciated!

    1. The Sociologist

      Any love for Doherty? I'd fear TAA is a rotation risk. Would rather Sterling over Pogba too if funds allow.

      (C) for 35 has to be Jiménez surely?

    2. Phil's Stamps

      Is Pereya fit?
      Trippier not nailed and injury risk.
      TAA slight rotation risk.
      I have the same big hitters and Murray but will probably go with Eriksen as captain unless Son definitely confirmed as starting.
