We’ve reached the semi-final stage of our second FFS Cup of the season.

The quarter-finals were resolved after the final two matches of Double Gameweek 35 on Wednesday evening and all of our semi-finalists broke the 100-point barrier in this round of fixtures.

Roger150 did likewise but was unfortunate to come up against
Ibra-gum, who prevailed by 123 points to 109.

Ibra-gum is the lowest-ranked manager left in the competition but his successful Bench Boost in Gameweek 35 lifted him 97,000 places to just outside the top 100k.

FFS moderator Rotation’s Alter Ego continued his fine season with a 110-71 win over HPCAMPBELL, who had an overall rank of 262 coming into Double Gameweek 35.

Rotation’s Alter Ego now has an OR of 1,716, with a Triple Captain chip still to use.

Our highest-ranked remaining manager is LOKOMOTIV, who is positioned at 1,298th – that being his best rank of the season so far.

LOKOMOTIV, who beat dark91 102-81 in the quarter-finals, also has a Triple Captain chip still up his sleeve.

Skogen89‘s successful deployment of the Bench Boost lifted him inside the top 20k for the first time since Gameweek 10 and helped see off Hi Ho Silva Lining by 115 points to 82.

Skogen89 is another FPL manager who still has their Triple Captain chip intact.

The full quarter-final results were as follows:

Hi Ho Silva Lining8262631vsSkogen8911517965
HPCAMPBELL71829vsRotation’s Alter Ego1101716
dark9181701011vsLOKOMOTIV1021298
Ibra-gum123101067vsRoger15010973131

The two Fantasy managers who lurk just outside the top 1k, Rotation’s Alter Ego and LOKOMOTIV, have been kept apart in the semi-finals.

The full draw is as follows:

Skogen8917965vsRotation’s Alter Ego1716

    Thoughts are welcome guys 🙂

    Think of starting Redmond and Gray over Jota...
    Redmond and Gray scoted in their last home games, Jota is also playing good at home but away...

    *Jimenez is starting of it matters

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      i wouldnt

    2. St. Joseph
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      This

  2. jia you
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Has KDB been ruled out fo the weekend or is there still a glimmer of hope?

  3. pressdpm
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Any ideas on what to do?
    1FT and 0.6 spare. TC available
    Thinking of holding, as I can't really upgrade Llorente with 1FT.

    Ryan
    TAA - Bednarek - Duffy
    Sterling - Son - Salah - Eriksen
    Aguero - Jiminez - Llorente

    Foster - Bennett - Boly - Hojbjerg

  4. De Gea is GOAT
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Best differential for this GW please. I'm thinking Mtro or Redmond? Thanks guys

    1. pressdpm
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Vardy, if he counts as a differential

    2. EMBOLOFAN
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      son (c) is the only one i like. none of these awful budget players should be starting for you.

    3. IRBOX ⚽
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Siggy

    4. :
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Glen Murray due.

      1. De Gea is GOAT
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Agreed! but need to make up 30 points in ML so a risk has to be taken. Should i save FT instead?

        Guaita
        TAA Robbo Dunk Duffy
        Son Eriksen Sterling Mane
        Jimi Vardy

        Pat Wilson Kola Jota

        1. pressdpm
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          30 points in three weeks isn't actually that much. My rival made up a similar gap in less time.

          Just captain Mane, no need to be too clever.

            • 9 Years

            Roger! Hows the bench order? Thanks mate

  5. IRBOX ⚽
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Think I’m done with Kun Aguero. Aguero > Firmino this week and Eriksen > Sterling next week (c) vs the Foxes at home.

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Hat trick next game for Aguero

  6. Jammyfpl
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Lloris
      Robbo TAA Laporte
      Salah (c) Eriksen Son Doucoure Redmond
      Kun jimenez

      Foster Dings Duffy Valery

      I think il roll ft but is my bench order right or anything you would do differently?

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Duffy 1st bench, would be tempted to play him over Doucoure

        1. EMBOLOFAN
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          this

        2. Jammyfpl
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Interesting, thanks mate!

        Repost -

        hey guys, when you guys using the TC chip ?

        this week on Mane/ sterling or probably last game of the season?

        1. Kanga roo
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Mane this week is as good as any other to come.

      3. Niho992
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        TC this or next week and why lads ?

      4. John78
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Eriksen to Mane? Have Son and Salah.

        or roll FT?

        1. Metropolis
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Yes

        2. pressdpm
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          If I had the cash spare I'd be doing that move

        3. :
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Mane essential.

      5. Metropolis
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Who to bench:

        A) Deulofeu
        B) Jota
        C) Jimenez

        1. :
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          NOT Deulofeu.

        Hey DZ. What do you think Trippier's chances are for starting vs
        A) West Ham
        B) bournemouth

        ?

        1. EMBOLOFAN
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          75% / 75%

        2. pressdpm
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          90%
          50%

        It seems the 'six-game projection' tool has been removed from member's area.

        1. :
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Useless anyway.

          1. EMBOLOFAN
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            has been very useful for me

        2. EMBOLOFAN
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          quite annoying

      9. Tsparkes10
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Fml. Addicted to hits.

        KDB, Lukaku, Gray, to Salah, Firminho, Long is really tempting me 🙂

        1. Tsparkes10
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Or... KDB, Lukaku, Lucas to Salah, Mane, Ings hehe

        2. Marlen R
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Can you just do Kdb Lukaku to Salah and Firmino?

      10. Kub3
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I think one of Salah or Mané will be rested, regardless of what Klopp says. City will breeze past their last 3 games and I think the league is done. I think one will be rested because Barcelona is a huge game for them.

        1. EMBOLOFAN
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          thanks for the insight

          1. Kub3
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            I’m just telling like I see it mate. You don’t have to believe me

        2. pressdpm
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          I actually think the same. Can see Salah being rested.

          1. Hy liverpool
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Check JK Presser...
            Noway he is going to rotate.

      11. pressdpm
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Can you cancel Triple Captain once you've activated it?

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Sure can

          1. pressdpm
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Thanks. Paranoia seeping in.

        2. ㅤRising
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          you can try

      12. Weilong7
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        For gw36.. salah mane or mane firmino? Probably sterling and carry out for a hit though. Thanks

        1. Citytilidie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          I've kept Raz and gone Firmino and Mane myself. Straight swap, KDB>Mane.

      13. Point-one short
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Which move?

        A) Trippier -> Robertson
        B) Laca -> Firmino

        (Rest of team is
        Ryan Foster
        Laporte, Taa, TRIPPIER, Valery, Masina
        Mane, Sterling, Son, Jota, Redmond
        Kun, LACA, Jimenez
        0.8itb, 1ft.) Thanks

      14. waldo666
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Most likely using TC this week, wondering what others thoughts are on these options (1FT):

        A) Pogba/Eriksen/Son to Salah
        B) Jota to Mane

        1. Marlen R
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          A

        2. Point-one short
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Pogba to Salah

          1. waldo666
            • 15 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Yeah, assume most people will say Pogba as the one to go, was keen to hold him for Cardiff and Huddersfield.

        3. EMBOLOFAN
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          i've (in a rondabout way) done pogba to salah. plan is to get rash next week and pogba the week after

        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Watford have Wolves number this year. Been great against them in the league and the cup semi final. If you have Deulofeu play him

        1. EMBOLOFAN
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          watford are not playing well atm

        Does anyone know if eriksen is playing this gw?

        Aguero, Jimenez, Firmino

        (Foster, Valery, Duffy, Ward-Prowse)

        G2G or should I change the bench order?

        1. waldo666
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Think I would go Duffy, JWP, Valery.

        2. EMBOLOFAN
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          duffy first

      22. waldo666
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I'm chasing pretty hard atm so bearing that in mind and having both Son and Eriksen would make sense if I was to ditch one to go with Son as the more highly owned?

        1. OldBenKenobi
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Keep Son

        2. EMBOLOFAN
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          keep son

        Eriksen and Aguero > Salah and Firmino -4?
