FFS Cup

The latest FFS Cup fixtures and results

The draws for the third round of the FFS Members Cup and the fourth round of the FFS Cup have taken place following the completion of Gameweek 17.

We’re down to the final 128 Fantasy managers in both tournaments after last weekend’s games.

FFS CUP

The results from the third round of the open-to-all 2019/20 FFS Cup are available by clicking here.

The fourth round draw in full can be accessed here.

No former champions remain in the FFS Cup, with ex-winner A Manager Has No Name bowing out after a narrow 71-69 defeat to CMJC.

FPLchewitt, the only manager in the third round draw who was ranked inside the top 1k before the Gameweek 17 deadline, exited the tournament after a comprehensive 94-45 loss to DARK.

A new entrant inside the top 1,000 lives to fight enough another day, though: Yemop squeaked past Gilderoy Knockaert 68-67 and moves to 971st in the world in the process.

Doos11 was unlucky to fall at this latest hurdle, having been defeated by TOMYG84 despite scoring 85 points – his opponent having a superb Gameweek in accumulating a score of 98.

On the mods’ front, Rotation’s Alter Ego fell 72-61 to Aragorn but G-Whizz progressed by defeating Egg Fried Reus 65-61.

In the fourth round, there will be an all-top 10k clash between Limit80 and Delaware Rovers.

Emm7980‘s opponent, pricewise987, appears to have had their account deleted (at the time of writing).

Our highest-ranked manager, Yemop, will take on NielsvanDelft, while our lowest-ranked FPL boss, Ujjwal, faces Dreaming Of Irene.

FFS MEMBERS CUP

The scores from the second round of the 2019/20 FFS Members Cup are available by clicking here.

The third round draw in full can be accessed here.

There will be a new name on the FFS Members Cup this season, with former champions rrcmc and Waltzingmatildas having both fallen to 69-65 defeats to TorresMagic and Scubasmithy respectively.

Two members of the top 1k (one a new entry) have progressed to the round-of-128.

frankiem, ranked at 104th, beat Campo72 by 77 points to 57.

ActorJeff edged past Jeremy T after 72-all draw, with the former’s higher rank (606th) seeing him through.

One Fantasy manager hit a century in Gameweek 17 to make it to the third round.

Why Always Me leapt from the 150k mark to 29,531th in the world after a score of 100 points, which was more than enough to see off gaetandb.

In round three, the only manager left outside of the top one million, spadecooley, takes on bfg13destroyer.

ActorJeff and frankiem‘s rewards for their victories are ties against Pseto and PepRoulette.

    Quick quiz, which team has conceded the most shots on target in the last 6 GW...no cheating

    1. jimmyabs1987
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Most shots sorry, not on target

      1. GreennRed
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        West Ham.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Correct!!

        1. CRO KLOPP
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Richarlison (c)?

      2. jimmyabs1987
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        100 shots in 6 GW and 40 on target! Only Brighton conceded 42 on target

        1. Tempestic
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Crikey, I'm currently choosing whether to bring in Alli or Richarlison and that might have persuaded me to punt on

    5. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      DCL

  5. Braddam

    4 years, 3 months ago

    Pope – Button
    TAA- Rico – Aurier – Soy – Lund
    Mane – KDB – Alli – Maddison – Zaha
    Vardy – Abraham – Greenwood

    Pick one???

    Option 1 - Zaha + TAA to Son + Kelly
    Option 2 - Zaha + Abraham to Grealish + Rashford
    Option 3 - Something else

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      1

  6. KUNingas
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Would you get rid off Maddison if purchase price is 7.4?

    A) Martial in
    B) Grealish in
    C) Kep Maddison

    1. KINGS
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Just do it

      1. KUNingas
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Who in then?

        1. KINGS
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          B

          1. KUNingas
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Thanks

    2. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      B. Why is purchase price so important? You want an upgrade?

      1. KUNingas
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Just thinking if I would want him back. Always easier to sell players which has no value tied up

        1. KINGS
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          You are losing only 0.2m

    3. bronzadonis
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      You are out of your mind to sell an in form player who has 2 points less than Son and cost you 7.4m

      Bc of two fixtures?!

  7. sirmorbach
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Lads, I'm using my 2 ft, for I will WC this week or the next anyway.

    So for the next one-two fixtures, aside from Salah to Son:
    Mount out, Grealish/Richarlison/Martial/Zaha in (who?)
    Abraham out, Rashford in

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Grealish.
      No.

      1. sirmorbach
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Appreciate it! Cheers!

  8. Mortal.Swinbat
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Mane & Nakamba > KDB & Grealish for free?

    Would give me this week....

    Ryan
    Soyuncu, Lundstrum, Aurier
    Son, KDB, Grealish, Hayden
    Vardy, Abraham, Jiminez

    Button, Reid, TAA, Salah

    Or do I lose TAA & Nakamba for Kelly & Grealish and keep Mane & Salah

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      B

  9. Do I Not Like Orange
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Hendo
    Lundstram Soy Kelly
    Alli KDB Grealish Dendoncker
    Kane Vardy Jimenez

    No bench, 0.9 ITB. Anything here worth a hit? Would be upgrading Dendoncker or Reid if so.

    1. KUNingas
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      No way

    2. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Den to Traore possibly, or Reid to Targett/Fernández/Rico. Given that you will want a strong bench for Christmas I'd consider the latter.

  10. Monkey Hanger
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Most popular captain currently 18.25 per cent.

    Ever been one with a lower percentage?

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Don't know, but that DGW last year when some were captaining Duffy must have been pretty low.

      1. lindeg
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        never forget

  11. lindeg
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    hoping arteta isnt in charge this gw to prevent the bounce

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Can't see how he can do any more than meet the players. Arsenal will have to travel up from London Friday afternoon and stay in Liverpool overnight as it is an early kick off on Saturday. Apparently Ljungberg will still be in charge for one last game. Ditto Ferguson for Everton.

      Ri(c)harlison

      1. Tempestic
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        The new manager bounce often isn't to do with the new implemented tactics tho. Its often just due to the players being motivated again to play for the manger, mindset can really make a big difference. Surely they'll be playing to impress Arteta? Will it even make a difference or are they just too bad?

        1. Miguel Sanchez
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Completely agree that new manager bounce has a psychological impact and players put in more effort but in terms of defensive organisation I doubt it really changes anything until the manager has had time to implement their tactics.

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Do 2 bounces cancel each other out?

      1. lindeg
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        not sure, uncharted territory

        1. Fulchester's New Centr…
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Great minds etc.

    Guaita McG
    Robbo Lund Soy Rico Pieters
    Madd KDB Ali McGinn Mane
    Rashford Vardy Ings

    Any ideas what to do with this lot??? Only 0.1 ITB, 1ft

    Mane, McGinn, Madd, Soy, Robbo all question marks

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Just save

  13. sirmorbach
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Would you play Chilwell (mci) or Kelly (new)? Feels wrong to bench Chilwell for Kelly, but City away...

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Palace v Newc has nil-nil written all over it.

      1. Tempestic
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        agreed, Kelly for me

    2. iL PiStOlErO

        1. Punk as Fuchs

          We have very similar teams, and I've just done option A. I have a second FT but going to roll that one I think.

    Guaita
    Lund Soy Rico Kelly
    KDB Son Grealish Zaha*
    Vardy Tammy

    Button - Greenwood Mane* TAA*

    Think I want to ship Zaha this week due to his lack of stats but who is best to replace him?
    A) Richarlison (with money to get Aurier in next week, could move to Maddi in a couple weeks if he doesn't work out)
    B) Alli
    C) Save

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      A - could be good this week and gives you lots of options

      1. Tempestic
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Richarlison captain over Son if I did?

        1. Fulchester's New Centr…
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          I think I might if I had him, Ars have conceded 100 shots in last 6 GW and 40 on target (according to thread higher up).

          1. Tempestic
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Its true but they're xGc is still only 9th worse in the last 6. They are calamitous at the back tho so do still concede a lot. Ri(c)h is very tempting if I did

  16. allaboutthemagic
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Start montoya or tielemans? I’ve got Lundy and Henderson starting for SU already

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…

      Montoya, think Leicester might do ok, but Tiel not getting in the points at all

  17. Ninjaa

    Any thoughts on what I do here
    0.4m itb and 2 transfers. 1st wildcard still available.

  19. GreennRed
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Not sure how reliable Football Insider is?
    Ancelotti likes Digne and Richarlison. Digne return date is uncertain though.

    'Three-times Champions League-winning manager Ancelotti regards the pair as Everton’s most valuable playing assets, a stance shared by the board'.

    https://www.footballinsider247.com/ancelotti-seeks-assurances-about-everton-players/

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Will Ancelotti’s football philosophie give us more or less Richarlison goals, do you think?

      1. GreennRed
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Not sure. But hopefully goals and less yellow cards. I somehow think that Richarlison likes Ferguson's 'robust' approach.

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Someone also said he like Brazilian players

      1. Now I'm Panicking
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        That's not what he meant when he said he likes a Brazilian.

        I need it for this hectic month anyway... the amount of work I've done today is shocking. Still no closer to deciding on my Mount replacement 🙁

    Need a bit of advice please.

    Do you think it's worth doing Mane > Son (-4) this week, followed by Maddison > Salah (FT) next week?

    I bought Mane for 11.7 and would be selling him for 12.0. Alternatively, I won't do the transfer and will bench Mane this week for his blank. Dendocker would play in his place then. Thanks!

    Pope
    Soyuncu - Lundstram - Kelly (Simpson, TAA)
    Ali - Maddison - KDB - Dendocker (Mane)
    Vardy - Abraham - Ings

    Foster
    Targett Lund Soy
    Dend Pulisic Son Maddison
    Abraham Ings(c) Vardy

    Gazza - Tomori Mane* TAA*

    1 FT 0itb What to do?

    A) Tomori + Pulisic ➡ Aurier + Zaha (-4)
    B) Tomori + Pulisic ➡ Aurier + Grealish (-4)
    C) Tomori + Mane ➡ Aurier + KDB (-4)
    D) Dend + Mane ➡ Grealish + KDB (-4)
    E) Other???

    Thanks

          Yes. You can make 11 with him on the bench.

    2 ft and 1 M in the bank. What to do?

    Kelly - Söyüncü - Lundstram - Aurier - Tomori
    Guendouzi - Saha - Mane - KDB - Son
    Vardy - Jesus - Jimenes

    Tomori has to go, but to who?
    Also thinking Jesus to Rashford

  29. YuvalFPL

    Henderson
    TAA, Chilwell, Aurier, Lundy, Kelly
    Mane, Son, KDB, Maddison, Mount
    Vardy, Jimi, Greenwood.

    1. Mount >
    a) Dele
    b) Richarlison

    2. TAA >
    a) Best defender under 5.3m (would have wanted Wan Bissaka but 0.1 off)
    b) Best defender under 6.1m

    All replies appreciated, really torn on this one...

      1b only, keep TAA

      1. YuvalFPL
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        can't unless I sell TAA, which I think is the right move.
