FFS Cup

The latest FFS Cup fixtures and results

The draws for the fourth round of the FFS Members Cup and the fifth round of the FFS Cup have taken place following the completion of Gameweek 18.

We’re down to the final 64 Fantasy managers in both tournaments after last weekend’s games.

FFS CUP

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

The fifth round draw in full can be accessed here.

Our highest-ranked manager in round four exited the competition this weekend.

Yemop fell to a 53-45 defeat to NielsvanDelft and dropped out of the top 1k in doing so.

Teddy Brewski, sitting at 1,452nd in the world, takes over Yemop’s crown as the manager with the best overall rank in the competition.

He defeated Underdogs AFC 57-34 in Gameweek 18 and will next face Jeanz.

Ujjwal, the only site user left in either of our cups who has an overall rank in excess of one million, will take on Chap of Steel in round five.

Moderator G-Whizz was among those progressing to the last 64, too.

FFS MEMBERS CUP

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

The fourth round draw in full can be accessed here.

Our highest-ranked entrant left in the competition lives to fight another day.

frankiem was a comfortable 66-41 victor over PepRoulette, with the former’s captaincy of Danny Ings an inspired move.

frankiem is now up to 27th in the world, with all of his chips bar the first Wildcard still intact.

sandgrounder is the Fantasy boss charged with the unenviable task of stopping him in round four.

Another FPL boss having a superb season, ActorJeff, beat Pseto 64-43 and moved up to 159th in the process.

His reward is a fourth round tie against sledger, who sits just outside the top 200k.

There are two all-top 10k clashes in round four, with Bubber United facing prbaker1980 and FPL Cot taking on Bun Rab L4D3.

Moderator TorresMagic and staff writer Paul also made it through round three.

    Thoughts on captaincy and bench ??

    Guaita
    Kelly Lund Aurrier
    KDB Alli Mane Salah (C)
    Vardy Jimenez Tammy

    Bench - Taylor Soy Donker

      Not sure on salah cap, rest looks good.

      1. Eleven Hag
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Mahrez has had a field day against chillwell hence the salad cap...any early goal cud open the game up which should suit liverpool

    2. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I expect Tammy would have the shortest any time goalscorer odds, based on the match odds I saw but leave it to you to check.

    Morning dzzz, thoughts on the following combo's on a WC team

    1) Digne + Otamendi + Grealish or
    2) Kiko + Targett + Rashford.......in both cases rest of Defence is Taa + Lundy + Rico in a 343

    A) Targett + Rashford or
    B) Aurier + Tammy

    X) Maddison or
    Y) Tammy

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Digne, Kiko, Grealish

      B

      Maddison

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

    With McGinn out, surely Grealish reverts back to his old pivot role? All this talk about bringing him in - am thinking of selling!

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      assess vs NOR

    2. NATSTER
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Got him last week with a goal. It sounds logical for him moving back a bit, but wait & see.

  4. Eleven Hag
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Looks like a lot of dead teams have progressed through the cup last GW because of having no spurs players and no cap on Son

  5. Wally banter
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Thoughts on the below lot
    Guaita
    Aurier Rico Lord Soyancu Guilbert
    Salah Mane Pogboom Alli Maddison
    Vardy Ings Martinelli

    1. Wally banter
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Never mind, i cant go w/o kdb

      1. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        The fear is real

  6. Bruno Commando
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Best GK to replace Pope with the sea of red fixtures coming for him? I have 2 FTs and not sure what to do..

    A) Henderson - Away games to Liverpool and City upcoming
    B) Ramsdale
    C) Foster
    D) Keep Pope!

    Squad:

    Pope
    TAA // Kelly // Lunds
    KDB // Mane // Alli // Cantwell
    Kane // Vardy // Tammy

    Stekelenburg // Soy // Doncker // Rico

    1. Thomas Shelby from Birmingh…
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Ryan or Guaita

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

      Foster can be a good differential

  7. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Which combo would you pick this week?

    a) Rashford + Salah + Grealish + TAA
    b) Rashford + Alli + any mid under 10m + TAA + 4
    c) Pukki + Salah + TAA + Alli
    d) any def up to 5m + Salah + Rashford + Alli

    Cheers

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      A

    2. Carlton_Goal
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      C

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Cheers both.

    4. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      A and C are the best 2.

  8. King Kohli
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Best captain pick from this lot?

    A. Salah
    B. KDB
    C. Vardy
    D. Alli

    1. norab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      That's tight. KDB I'd say but its gotta be close

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

      I would go for Alli but any of them should be fine, especially Salah

    3. Carlton_Goal
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      All good options. Personally would go Salah or Alli

  9. Carlton_Goal
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Think I've finally settled on a Wildcard team. Leaves 0.2 ITB and Aurier can make way in the future to raise funds if need be

    Guaita
    TAA Aurier Lundstram
    Salah Mane KDB Grealish
    Vardy Ings Pukki

    Button Soyuncu Rico Romeu

    Would appreciate people's thoughts

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Could struggle hard in GW20 with suspension and rotation.

      1. Carlton_Goal
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        cheers, didn't realise Grealish was so close to suspension as well as TAA and Lundstram. Perhaps it might be worth paying the extra 0.1 for Dendoncker over Romeu. That and Rico being back from suspension should get me through it hopefully

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Decent chance of Vardy rest.

  10. Thomas Shelby from Birmingh…
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Pope Ramsdale
    Soyuncu Lund Dunk Willems Rico

    Any replacement for Willems with a player from different team than what my current defense consists?
    I am thinking of Kelly/ Otamendi

    1. Carlton_Goal
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Kelly would be a good pick

  11. Bojaninho
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Drop one

    Kelly, Taa, Lundstram, Aurier,

    Basically between taa and Kelly?

    1. norab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Kelly for me

  12. gellinmagellan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Pope
    Kelly Lundstram Dunk
    Salah KdB Alli Zaha
    Kane (c) Vardy Ings

    Button Soy Dendoncker Rico

    Good to go?

    1. Carlton_Goal
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Good to go, good luck with Kane captain

  13. NATSTER
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    I misunderstood formation and asked wrong question previously. Let me try again.

    Which DF to start?
    (A) Kelly (WHU)
    (B) Tomori (SOU)

    Which attack to start?
    (1) Cantwell (avl)
    (2) Jimenez (MCI)

    Leaning to A2 now but unsure.

    1. Pieterke30
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Id start A2 too.

      Would you start Richarlison (BUR) or Jimenez (MCI)?

      1. NATSTER
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Surely Richarlison.

    2. Wally banter
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      A, 50/50

    3. Carlton_Goal
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      A2

    4. NATSTER
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Thank you all. I think it's conclusive for Kelly over Tomori.

  14. Trovsmash
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    no other pressing transfers, pope > ramsdale make sense? anyone else better for 4.7? Gazzaniga?

    1. Wally banter
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Its a good move

  15. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Really tough decision this

    A: TAA + Maddison + Tammy
    B: Aurier + Sterling + Ings

    Rest of team is
    Ryan/Button
    Lundy Otamendi XXX -- Rico Kiko
    Kdb Alli Salah Grealish XXX
    Vardy XXX -- Greenwood

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Trent better than Aurier
      Maddison better than Sterling
      Not much in Abraham or Ings

      So A

  16. Wally banter
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    What is Mane owners and Salah non owners thinking? Planning to double up?

    1. norab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Considering it below

    2. Carlton_Goal
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      That's most likely the plan for me. Only because I am Wildcarding this week so can do it easily

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

      Double up or only Mane

      Team value is pretty low, having four premium assets weakens other spots in starting XI

      1. Wally banter
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Currently on Mane only, only way to get salah is sacrifice maddison and Rashford for Ings, Salah.
        Is it worthy?

        1. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Dont think so, not atleast this week

    4. Bojaninho
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      owned mane up to the blank, there are momentum shifts in the season between the 2 so I've gone back to Salah think he may hit some form now. Theres chance one of them will get rested over the next 2-3 gws. Risky but hey ho

  17. norab
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Which of these options?

    A. Son to Sissoko and Jimenez to Kane -4
    or
    B. Son to Salah and Mount to JWP -4

    If I get Kane he's (C) for the next 3. Getting Salah doubles me up with Mane and I like that as a differential.

    1. Wally banter
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Dont like JWP if he is to be a regular starter

      1. norab
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        He'd be bench cover for rotation until after festive fixtures. Then sold off for garbage to raise funds.

    2. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      B - Not just for Mo but Jim

  18. _Gunner
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Do you guys think Gazzaniga is still first option? ( till Lloris is back)

    1. norab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Absolutely

    2. NATSTER
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      A bit worried with his form, but I hope he keeps the place.

  19. Whats the Huth
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Start ings or Maddison (I’m playing tomori)

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Ings

    2. SpaceCadet
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Ings

    3. Carlton_Goal
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Ings

    4. _Gunner
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Ings

  20. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Everyone's got KDB 🙁

    The fear is indeed real

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      We've always had him

  21. Jamb0
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    How's it looking on WC? 0.3itb.. Gazza decent fixtures but a transfer waiting to happen?

    Gazza
    VVD Lundstram Kelly
    Salah Grealish Maddison KDB
    Ings Kane(c) Vardy

    4.0 Cantwell Soy Rico

    1. Lilac Breasted Roller
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      You have some time left;

      Dec 20: "It's difficult to set up a date, I would say February. I probably would not be far from it and February goes from the 1st to the 29th this year."

      Just remember to save that ft

      1. Lilac Breasted Roller
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Although personally I wouldn't tie up future transfers on a wc

      2. Jamb0
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks mate, I was more concerned by his terrible form! But yeah, thinking Ramsdale might be better

    2. Stinglikeabee
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Maddison to Moura for a few weeks.

    3. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Don't think Kane is good value for money

  22. Lilac Breasted Roller
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    WC thinkering

    A) Madison / aurier
    B) alli / kelly

    1. Carlton_Goal
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      B

    2. Jamb0
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      B

    3. Lilac Breasted Roller
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      thanks all. On to the next decision hurdle

  23. Roy Rovers
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Why no City (Sterling) love on here, next 6 GW’s are great?

    1. Stinglikeabee
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I've had him for weeks, hes dropped .2 and just isnt delivering. I swapped him out for Salah.

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

      Performance not worth his price tag

    3. el polako
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I guess Sterlings returns apart from freak GW1 are so far rather underwhekming for someone with his price tag.

    4. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Suspect Mo has hoovered up all of the Son upgrades and People simply distrust Sterling and are happy to roll with KdB who is better in every respect

      1. Roy Rovers
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Got him in last week on WC as place holder for Salah so may have to stick with him this week!

        1. Roy Rovers
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Ryan
          Aurier Lundstram Rico
          Son Sterling Alli KDB Grealish
          Vardy Rashford (C)

          Martin Kelly Greenwood Soy.

          1. pingissimus
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            I’d be more than happy with that

            Had I been sober when Son was carded I’d have probably gone Sterling 🙂

  24. Jenas
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Morning lads. Just enough money for Zaha to Salah but no FT any chance Salah is rising in price?

    1. el polako
      • 6 Years

      fplstatistics.com

    2. Roy Rovers
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Nope

  25. Shark Team
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Who scores more in the next four fixtures?

    A)Abraham(SOU, ars, bha, BUR)
    or
    B)Rashford(NEW, bur, ars, NOR)

    Thanks a lot

    1. SB8
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      A imo

    2. OLLY G
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I would keep Tammy personally. I own both atm. United have been struggling against the lower, less attacking teams.

    3. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      B

  26. Bojaninho
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    armband?

    Kane
    Salah
    Kdb
    Vardy

    1. OLLY G
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Kane for mr

    2. el polako
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      KDB - form and class the only worry is that his minutes might be managed.

      1. Bojaninho
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        my worry too esp after the bit of cramp he had. Its a tough game so Im expecting him to start and maybe get taken off if they are winning

    3. NATSTER
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      If you have Kane this week, why not him?

    4. _Gunner
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      am going Kane again

    5. Jamb0
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      (K)ane

  27. OLLY G
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Which cappo please?

    (A) KDB
    (B) Tammy
    (C) Rashford
    (D) Grealish
    (E) Lundstram

    Thanks.

    1. FCSB
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      KDB ?

      1. FCSB
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        That’s KDB I think, maybe Tammy

    2. Bojaninho

      Personally l would rather Guaita and Hennesey on WC.

        I will change that way in a week or so but to afford the outfield I need I need to keep Henderson for now

      But I wouldn’t get Hendo - Guaita for me. The run from 20-24 is horrid and makes Hendo an odd WC choice.

      Also dislike Aurier and would get Dunk every time.

      1. FCSB
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Just can’t afford Guaita with that outfield I’m afraid...

        1. pingissimus
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Even if you lose Aurier? He’s very pricy for low cs odds and the odd attacking return

          1. FCSB
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            When Alli rises I can afford to do Aurier Henderson >> Dunk Guaita, but I mean do you think Dunk is a good pick?

            I was thinking have Henderson v WAT then swap to Ramsdale Ryan Foster perhaps ?!

            Any other alternatives to Aurier?

            Otamendi is an option, you’d think city will start cleaning soon... is he nailed?

            1. pingissimus
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 4 months ago

              Think City defence might just be sound and like last season they’ll end on a roll but no one is nailed so you need a back up.

              Dunk? Just think he’s better value than Aurier. Brighton are proving to be an ok bet and he offers something in attack, just see him and Guaita as the better value combo.

              You could of course just go Ryan. Wrote him off at the start of the season but he’s more than held his own in the 4.5 stakes

        Consider how many weeks you’ll have before WC2. Odds are that you’re getting a keeper who’ll blank anyway in 5 of 12-14 anyway. Save points exist of course but Guaita has very decent odds of at least 2 cs more in that spell

    Looking for ideas for a 1 week punt before WC next week. 2.0ITB

    Guaita
    Robertson Kelly Lundstram (C)
    Mane KDB Maddison Alli
    Vardy (VC) Ings Moussett 
    Pope Soy Dendoncker Rico

    1- Robertson to any defender
    2- Moussett to cheap striker
    3- Buendia or Cantwell
    4 - anything else

      Sterling from Mane?

      Depends on value of course but as someone on Mane Mo I suspect KdB Sterling could be the killer combo for one week.

      1. AC Yew
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Got a lot of value tied up in Mane which is why it wasnt one of the options.

    Really confused about whether to go for an extra premium on a WC on not.
