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:

    Worth -4?

    Robertson/Jota > Kelly/Mane (TC)

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Not imo. Nobody else you can lose but Robbo?

    2. Mino Raiola
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      if j sint got salah already yes

      1. Mino Raiola
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        *if u aint

  2. Codetto
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    De Bruyne + Eriksen -> Salah + 5.7 mid (deu/babel/redmond would probably be benched anyway) -4?

    Already have Mane and Robbo

    1. Mino Raiola
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      if u gonna bench and tc salah its worth it if u are chasing ml or something like that!

  3. MikeLowrey
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    G2G? Doing Laca > Firmino

    Ryan
    Laporte TAA Doherty Duffy
    Salah (TC) Sterling Son Jota
    Firmino* Jimenez

    (Foster Llorente JWP Bednarek)

    1. Mino Raiola
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      hard one. firmino is playing the worst team in the league and they have to win sooo i guess yes

  4. Lignja
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Need Salah to secure lead in mini leagues. 40 pts lead in two cash leagues

    A. Aguero, Jota to 4.6m (bench), Salah -4
    B. Eriksen, Jota, Tripier to Salah, 4.3, 3.9m (bench)-8

    Rivals have Eriksen and Salah but not Aguero

  5. Kante Touch This
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    6 points behind my ML leader...

    thinking i need Trent in this week, how does this sound?

    Duffy + King > Trent + Barnes (-4)

    1. Mino Raiola
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      not worth the hit imo

      1. Kante Touch This
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        might just have to hope for a duffy CS

    • 14 Years

    What is considered a safe lead in ML at this point?

    1. Mino Raiola
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      70 p

    2. AndyCook
        7 years, 1 month ago

        20 points a week probably catchable at most so 60

    3. FPL Maldini
      • 11 Years

      Safe to do transfers tonight or wait?

            • 9 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Thanks all! I wouldn’t mind squeezing in Laporte or Ederson. May have to wait until next week.

      6. Winners900
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        DCL nailed the next games?

        Everton in good form.

        Thoughts?

        1. Sideways Backwards
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Probably

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

        Thinking of saving this week so I have 2FT. Thoughts? If not maybe KDB > BSilva? 0m ITB. Thanks all.

        Lloris
        Laporte - Valery - Robbo
        Mane(C) - Son - Eriksen - Jota
        Aguero - Jimenez - Gray

        (Foster) - Duffy - Bertrand - KDB

        1. Sideways Backwards
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Team looking good, if you move KDB on, who would you bench?

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

            gray

          2. The Count of Monte Cristo
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Would have to be Gray I think?

        2. The Count of Monte Cristo
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Similar team to mine but yours is better.

          I was only really considering KDB + Eriksen --> Sterling + Moura (-4) but I'm not convincing myself, hence I'm tempted to save and would thus give you the same (and probably incorrect) advice. Having 2FT next week might well be useful.

          Lloris
          Robertson -- Doherty -- Duffy
          Mané (c) - KDB - Son - Eriksen
          Aguero - Jimenez - Wilson

          Foster - JWP - Valery - Bednarek [0.3m ITB / 1FT]

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

            Good team and thanks for reply 🙂

            1. The Count of Monte Cristo
              • 13 Years
              7 years, 1 month ago

              No problem. Would you start JWP over Valery if KDB not in XI?

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

                KDB won't be in XI. Would start JWP over Valery yes

      8. SomeoneKnows
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Is taking a -4 hit when chasing my ML rival that's leading by 29 points a dumb move?

        1. Men in green tights
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          depends who it is for ,what players you have the same and what chip you have got left if any compare to him

        2. syke63
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Only if you're getting the same players.

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

        A) Lloris + Martial -> Guaita + Mane
        B) Martial + Gray -> Mane + Long

        Lloris Foster
        VVD TAA Laporte Duffy Valery
        Sterling Eriksen Son Martial Højbj
        Aguero Jimenez Gray

        Thanks!!

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

          Im targetting a midfield of
          Sterling Eriksen Son Mane
          obviously

          1. Sideways Backwards
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Not worried about spurs rotation over the next 2?

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

              A bit. Eriksen directly to Mane is an option. But I wont like dumping him either..

              1. Sideways Backwards
                • 10 Years
                7 years, 1 month ago

                Yeah, I'm keeping both for this week

      10. Sideways Backwards
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Thoughts very much appreciated here

        Lloris
        Kola, Laporte, Robbo
        Son, Erik, KDB, Deulefeu
        Kun(c), Jim, Vardy

        Ryan, JWP, Duffy, Valery

        2ft, 1.0 it

        Obviously KDB to be moved on, but rival has Mane and I'm chasing so probably avoiding him.
        He also has Kun so was thinking Kun and KDB to Sterling and Bobby?

        Saving my TC (rival doesn't have his anymore) for 37/38

        1. Men in green tights
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          would still get Mane and sterling if poss

          1. Sideways Backwards
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Just don't think I'd have a chance of catching, worth a gamble and bringing in a matching player is a waste of a transfer with only 3 weeks to go

        2. jdp219
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Kun has done decently against Burnley, so I'd be wary of dropping him.

          How would KDB, Jim > Bilva, Bobby work out?

          1. Sideways Backwards
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Yes could work

        3. Gorbitz
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Downgrade Kola, and get Sterling for KDB

          1. Sideways Backwards
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Yes, would be. 4.1 max but other defence would cover anyway

          2. jdp219
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Ohh, I'm a fan of this move, too, despite my idea above.

      11. jdp219
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Split decision when asked before. Tie breaker?

        Start one:
        1) Jota @ wat
        2) JWP v. BOU

        1. Bonus magnet
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Jota

        2. Sterling Malory
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Jota for me.

          They'll want FA cup revenge.

          JWP isn't much of an flp asset imo, only there because he's cheap. Jota can actually bring you a nice haul.

        3. jdp219
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Thanks! Jota it is.

      12. :
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        So, who gets rested tomorrow out of this high ownership lot?...

        Alisson? Robertson? VVD? TAA? Salah? Mane? Firmino?

        I'd say at least two of them.

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

          Wait, Robertson's nailed.

        2. aborg
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          They will all play !

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

            I'd say that was doubtful.

            1. Sterling Malory
              • 10 Years
              7 years, 1 month ago

              Why?

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

                They know in their hearts that the league was lost on Wednesday and they have a European Cup "final before a final" looming next. So why risk any silly injuries to important players when their girls team could take care of Huddersfield?

                1. Sterling Malory
                  • 10 Years
                  7 years, 1 month ago

                  Disagree.

                  Either City or Pool will drop points before the season is over.

                  Matter of time. Wouldn't fancy risking it.

        3. jdp219
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          TAA seems most likely if at all, but otherwise, not sure.

          1. syke63
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Including CL he's been subbed on the hour mark twice in last five, I think, so he's getting rest, and not sure Gomez is ready for start. Obviously I own him so trying to convince myself.

            1. jdp219
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 1 month ago

              I don't own TAA, but seriously considering that double with Robbo. Rotation is the only reason I've hesitating. I imagine TAA gets the start, but could see Gomez at halftime if it's a bloodbath.

        4. Mino Raiola
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          every week is a chance of rotation, but pool has one of the more settled teams in the league and there is no chance they will start resting players at this time of the year. if i was klopp i would start all and hope for an early lead and take out valuable assets around 60 min if he want fresh players for barca

          1. Sideways Backwards
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Yeah, this.

            League is more important for Pool

      13. HD7
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Most will C Salah or Mane.
        I have Mane personally but wonder if Sterling are Son are better choices... they will probably play more time...

        1. Men in green tights
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          got no liv mid , tripled up on def going with sterling or son not sure yet

        2. Mino Raiola
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          those are good c optins for sure! but personallh gonna do what most gonna do and cap a pool player vs hudd at home

      14. Gorbitz
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Would you prefer A or B

        A) Guaita Mane Gray
        B) Lloris Mane Long

        1. jdp219
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years

        Hi all please have a vote been messing with my mind all day...

        A. KDB + trippier -> Mane + TAA -4
        B. KDB + Kolasinac -> Mane + TAA -4
        C. Pogba KDB + trippier to Salah, Redmond (will start deulofeu) + TAA -8
        D. Pogba KDB + tripper to mane Bernardo Silva and TAA -8
        E. Lacazette KDB + tripper to firmino mane and TAA -8

        League leader is 12 ahead of me, I need to triple captain a pool mid perhaps C for Salah?.

        Thanks.

            So don't go Salah?

              C looks good but obviously higher stakes with the -8

                Not many the same at all but I suspect he will get a pool mid in atleast and it will be mane,. He has TAA

        Lukaku+ Eriksen-> Salah + Rashford (-4)

        Yay or nay

        1. Duffy Dunk
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Decent pair of moves. I mean, Rashford should be able to get some points with those fixtures.

            Sounds like a plan

        4. Mino Raiola
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          decent!. im considering aguero and eriksen out for the same for free

      18. Lukakwho
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Is KDB and Dunk > Bilva and Robbo good moves (no mane)

        1. Duffy Dunk
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Yes

        Really want 3 Liverpool for this week...

        A) Vardy -> Firmino (seems crazy)
        B) Get VVD for a -4 (probably funded by Eriksen to Jota)
        C) Save
        D) Other

        Lloris
        Robbo Laporte Duffy
        Mane(c) Son Eriksen Deulofeu
        Vardy Kun Jimenez

        Foster / JWP Doherty Valery
        0.5ITB 1FT

        1. Sterling Malory
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Similar boat as me.

          How about Hazard in for a spurs mid. And then bring in Trent for - 4?

          1. Sterling Malory
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Also, Doherty on the bench is never a good idea, regardless of fixture.

            1. E25
              • 11 Years
              7 years, 1 month ago

              Doherty had scored 1,1, 1,1,2,0 before this dgw :/

          2. E25
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Highly likely Trent is rotated for Gomez in this game I think. Also, Haz is done for me now!

        Haven't watched any Leicester.
        Are they good at defending?
        Thinking of saving TC to use it on Sterling at home v LEI in gw37.

          saving mine for bri game last week

      21. Gorbitz

        Gray’s minutes on the pitch to be quite limited in the run in when Deeney is back?

        Nord much to lose bringing in Long?

        How does this look? (-4)

        Ryan

        Duffy Laporte Robertson (Doherty Valery)

        Salah (c) Mane Son Jota Redmond

        Aguero Jimenez (Llorente)

          What would the transfers be for the hit ? You sold on Salah for the captaincy ? He's been getting more shots off than Mane lately but Sadio tends to play more centrally and still appears higher on xGI.

        Is anyone taking a hit to go Mane -> Salah for the TC?
        Leading my ML by 6 atm and I know that my rivals will both have Salah too....

          suicidal. -4 for a more expensive player with equal chances of scoring? (or even slightly less?)
