FFS Cup

The latest FFS Cup fixtures and results

The draws for the fifth round of the FFS Members Cup and the sixth round of the FFS Cup have taken place following the completion of Gameweek 19.

As planned, we skipped Gameweek 20 due to the swift turnaround between the two sets of fixtures.

We’re down to the final 32 Fantasy managers in both tournaments after the Boxing Day games.

    Any suggestions?
    I was thinking Mane in for Salah.

    Ryan
    TAA Rico Soyuncu
    KDB Salah Traore Alli
    Rashford Ings Vardy

    Button Maddison Kelly Lundstram

    0.8m itb

    1. OldBenKenobi

      4 years, 4 months ago

      Pick one and stick with them. You could end up chasing last weeks points and keep getting blanks. I’m on Salah and very happy to stick with him over Mane

    2. Winter_is_coming
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      No way Mane to Salah, it`s a burn of a transfer and everytime we (FPL players) do this - the other player scores 😉
      I would save FT and think about Everton defence and Maddison from next week.

      1. Flynny
        • 9 Years

        Duxbury in?

    3. Sharkytect
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I am literally considering mane>salah to catch the next inevitable point-swing!

      (Not worth it)

  2. Saka Punch
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    For those who watched the Pool game - How did Salah look yesterday (particularly compared to Mane)?

    Thanks

    1. C'mon the Fylde
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Neither had an impressive performance.

    2. El Matador
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Salah looked more dangerous to me

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

      Not in the game realy

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

      Salah missed a sitter off a beautiful TAA cross. Very unlucky not to haul tbh.

  3. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Abraham owners selling or keeping ? And if selling for who ?

    I'm tempted by selling for jimmy

    1. Stimps
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Keeping for next 3 then asses

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah fixtures are not bad aren't they.

    2. Mortal.Swinbat
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I sold him for DCL so I could fund bringing TAA back in (why did i take him out for 24,8 scores smh. If i had him and no fires though I might keep, but then i already have Jimi

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

    What to do here guys? Prep to get the Mane/Salah combo? 1.2itb 1FT

    Henderson (Button)
    TAA Soy Kelly (Rico Lund)
    KDB Salah Grealish Alli (Cantwell)
    Vardy Rashford Ings

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

      Grealish to Adama seems sensible.

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

        Cheers. You wouldn't do Rashford + Grealish > Greenwood + Mane in prep for GW24 onwards?

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

          I would. Rashford isn’t good value in my opinion, I have martial.

          1. thegaffer82
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            7 goals & 3 assists (+baps) in his last 10 games.

            Erm, what are you expecting for 9.0mil exactly?

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

            Turns out I'm 0.1 from doing that - typical! I think the priority will be to find a way of getting Mane in for GW24.

    2. Firminooooo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      TAA and Robertson can both haul, even without CS.

      1. Firminooooo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Wrong post.

  5. YuvalFPL
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Double liverpool defence or attack is a season defining decision in my opinion.

    After benching TAA and selling Mane, I have dropped from 5k to 20k.

    After lots of research, I am advocating Mane, Salah and TAA.

    I predict if Liverpool score the first goal in their upcoming games (lets say once their fixtures ease up), they will look to blow teams away. Having such a health lead at the top of the table should promote even more expansive and attacking football.

    The real question is what do you fear most? Not having liverpool defence double up or attacking double up?

    Lots of comments on this topic but I need to spew out my thoughts before I lose my mind.

    Good luck everyone.

    1. Stimps
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I'm thinking TAA and VVD with one of Salah, Mane

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

        I like VVD instead of Robbo, good luck.

      2. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Can't afford Salah so sticking with mane in midfield . Have taa. Leaves me with 3 options Robertson gomez or firmino. Firmino is too unriable and getting Robbie would mean downgrading Abraham to a 6m striker . Will end up getting Gomez probably

    2. Lingard’s Shin Guards
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      TAA, mane, Salah

      Simple

    3. Old Gregg
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I cannot afford Salah + Mane. The defence is the next best option.

      What about Taa-Mane/Salah- Firm?

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

        you can’t afford? or not willing to sell certain players to afford?

        bobby isn’t the best fantasy asset but a good option nonetheless.

        1. Old Gregg
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Yes, I guess not willing. It would take some surgery.

          I have tried with options like DCL and Traore but still short

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

            my plan is to downgrade chilwell and aurier.

            already done richarlison to adama this week.

            jimenez to DCL and maddison to mane in time for gameweek 24 leaves me comfortably in budget.

            only qualms are no tottenham attack and selling jimenez is going to hurt.

    4. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      One takes massive investment the other doesn’t

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

        they cost that much for a reason.

        1. Eat my goal!
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Mané
          12.3 38.0% 6.7 132

          Aubameyang
          10.8 17.9% 6.7 121

          Rashford
          9.1 28.7% 6.6 120

          Abraham
          7.8 32.5% 3.9 110

          Salah
          12.3 24.5% 6.3 110

          Sterling
          11.8 24.0% 5.7 109

          Ings
          6.6 16.6% 7.3 109

          Alexander-Arnold
          7.4 34.9% 8.7 106

          Jiménez
          7.5 17.7% 5.1 104

        2. Eat my goal!
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          The point of this list is that cost doesn’t necessarily translate to points - if choosing several big hitters means you can’t afford the mid priced assets achieving the same results then it’s of detriment to your team

    5. Le Bluff
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      It is a really big decision, IMO.

      Despite their upturn in clean sheets, Liverpool don still look vulnerable at the back. That VAR call on Wolves' goal was millimetres, and Wolves still had chances in the game even with a second string team. If they take one of those, both TAA and Robbo/VVD suddenly have 2 pointers.

      Salah and Mane absorb a lot of your budget but both are heavy hitters and capable of doing very well in the DGW.

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

        couldn’t have put it better. Double liverpool defence takes less investment ofcourse, but ~ £13.5-14.5m for two defenders who get you 4 points isn’t pretty either.

        Mane and Salah if they both haul will be a monumental differential.

        As you can see, i’m trying to talk myself into it... it’s working.

        1. Le Bluff
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          What it also relies on is your cheap/mid-priced midfielders and strikers also scoring points.

          For instance, Ings has been a god-send for me at 6.0 so I'm able to invest more money in other areas. Also have Grealish.

          However, I'll need both of those to try and keep up with the likes of Martial and Jimenez which a Liverpool defensive double-up would be able to afford instead. With Ings' fixtures and Villa's form, I think that'll be difficult so it really does rely on both Mane and Salah hauling, or at least nailing the captaincy.

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

            they’re the best attack in the league by a mile, and it’s because of those two.

    6. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Vardy & KDB are running away with the points at 9.5 while Salah & Mane squabble over who is the best 12.5 Liverpool forward

      Treble pool defence

      Vardy perma cap

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

        good luck. I can’t rely on liverpool keeping clean sheets. they’re more bothered about scoring goals this season.

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          They have the best defence in the league though

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years

          Would be tempted by Maupay, probably not much in it though!

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

      I would play Maupay instead of Kelly

      1. Rhodes your boat

        Thanks defo considering it

        1. OldBenKenobi

          Oh yeah def drop one of your defs for Maupay

  16. OldBenKenobi
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Play Kiko or Rico?

    On Kiko currently due to home fixture and form but will be playing Jimenez against Watford (hate playing an attacker against my own defence)

    1. Rhodes your boat
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Kiko for me

      1. OldBenKenobi
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Think I agree tbf

    2. Tshelby
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Rico

      1. OldBenKenobi
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Any particular reason?

  17. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Thinking about the following moves:

    1) Tammy to Jim
    2) Targett Grealish to Doherty Traore/Sarr
    3) Targett to Walker/Sidibe

    Could add Grealish to Martial to option 1

    1. OldBenKenobi
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Kinda like 2 if it’s for free

    2. claretparrot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      If 2 FT, I'd be tempted by 3 and then reassess next week

  18. MJFainty
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Morning all,

    Would 2FTs on Tomori and Kelly to Sidibe and Kiko be a bit much?

    Current team is

    Ryan
    TAA / Tomori* / Lund / Chilwell / Kelly*
    Mane / KDB / Mount / Alli / Cantwell
    Vardy / Tammy / Ings

    Cheers

    1. claretparrot

      • 7 Years

      1. kennethrhcp

        1. OldBenKenobi
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Ah ok. I assume you have the likes of Lundstram etc to rotate with him? If so then yeah you need KDB in

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

      1. OldBenKenobi
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        I’m so so tempted

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          4 years, 4 months ago

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      It could be legendary

  25. Greasy Grealish Gang
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Swapped Grealish out for H. Wilson. I'm such a wild boy. I can already smell the regret..

    1. OldBenKenobi
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Might actually work out for you.

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

      Trossard would have been better 😉

      1. Greasy Grealish Gang
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        I've gone with Trossard for most of the season but Potter likes to sub and rotate too much for my liking 😀 He'll be back soon enough though!
