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.

FFS CUP

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

The sixth round draw in full can be accessed here.

Our highest-ranked manager in round five (more of whom below) made it through to the round of 32.

Teddy Brewski, still chasing a cup double, beat Jeanz 70-39 in Gameweek 19 and will next face robharr.

Our only all-top 10k clash in Gameweek 20 sees beetlejuice take on Mataatti, who saw off another manager inside the top 10,000, Bury94, in round five.

Two of our three remaining site users who lie outside the top 150k, Coquelino and A Team Has No Name, meet each other in round six.

FFS MEMBERS CUP

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

The fifth round draw in full can be accessed here.

Our highest-ranked entrant left in either competition is now up to a remarkable 14th in the world.

frankiem, who first entered the top 1k four months ago, saw off sandgrounder 66-64 in Gameweek 19 and will meet Emm7980 in the fifth round.

ActorJeff, who has an overall rank of 630th, also progressed and will next play OlivierGiroudsHair.

A further seven managers in the round-of-32 draw are also in the top 10k after Gameweek 20.

One of those, the aforementioned TeddyBrewski, will face moderator TorresMagic in the first Gameweek of 2020.

    Captain KDB was a saviour.

    Last minute switch from Salah saved my GW. Still a red arrow, but a less embarrassing one.

  2. Mooster©️
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Selling Salah?

    1. Pinturicchio10
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Considering it for the first time this season.

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Why so?

      1. Mooster©️
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Not delivering considering the price...

    3. FPL.team
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Just got him 2 weeks ago. Of course not. 3rd best mid in the game.

      1. Mooster©️
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        But I can afford one good mid and one good forward instead.

  3. In Carrick we trust
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Is double liverpool defence good idea?

    1. BNMC
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I'm planning to do it for the DGW.

      1. In Carrick we trust
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        What about doing it now?

        1. BNMC
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          It takes a couple moves.

    2. The_Fish
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I have the funds now for Tomori to Robbo but not sure whether to wait a week and do it for free or do it now for a hit.

    3. Ynwalfc
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I have TAA and just brought in Gomez aswell can’t see him being benched now he’s VVD’s best partner and cheap at 5.1

  4. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Keep Tammy or get Jimenez?
    Could also do Grealish to Martial?

    1. KEN YA DIG IT
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Get Jimenez asap

  5. BNMC
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Worth bringing in Fornals or Antonio for the DGW? There could be a new manager bounce. But at the same time it's Moyes...

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      maybe not

    2. Karhumies
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Lanzini has been the quality player recently. But he's a short term asset, so you will burn 1 transfer in and 1 transfer out which could be better used elsewhere.

      1. BNMC
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        I'll see how they do in the next game or two then decide. The other player I like at that price range is Sarr at Watford.

        1. Karhumies
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Too bad that Deulofeu is FWD instead of MID and Deeney on penalties. I feel that Sarr and Traore are very similar players, but Traore is actually cheaper and has a slightly better team around him than Sarr. Hard to fit all midprice mids in, when you are competing vs Alli, Martial, Maddison to be included as 3rd, 4th mid. Mooy is an excellent 5th mid btw, way better than Cantwell or Gosling.

          1. BNMC
            • 6 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            I already have Jimenez. Traore has been great but I'm not too keen on doubling up.

    3. el polako
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Stay clear from Fornals - dont let his 1st goal fool you.

      Antonio - maybe.

  6. Botman and Robben
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    2FT 0.3ITB

    What to do folks? Zaha to Willian? Or better move?

    Pope
    TAA Rico Soy
    KdB Alli Zaha Mane
    Vardy Jimi Tammy

    Henderson Cantwell Kelly Lundstram

    1. Old Gregg
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      difficult.

      I like Willian. Just not sure about Chelsea.

      Zaha > Traore do you fancy double Wolves?

      or

      Pope> ?

  7. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    With the PL title almost lost to Liverpool, is it time to ditch our Man City assets, as Pep may now just concentrate on the cups ?

    Do you think Pep has done the unthinkable and given up on the PL league title as early as Dec ?

    1. BNMC
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Let's see how far they get in the UCL. They have Madrid in the last 16, which I doubt they'd win unless Laporte is back in time.

    2. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      KDB worth holding. Maybe Kun and Sterling due to their explosiveness. Others, not so much.

      Could be, UCL is the priority

        1. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Pep - City will never give up

          https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/50908726

      2. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        a bit of reverse psychology ? Klopp in the news today saying the title is far from won

        https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.bbc.co.uk/sport/amp/football/50921185

    3. The Train Driver
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      You can argue the same with Pool, with the title already won time to ditch? No way any manager would reason like that until it's definitely over...

      1. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        you don’t think Pep has given up and thrown in the towel yet then ?

    4. FPL.team
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      No. Not according to what Pep and the players are saying. Getting CL next year for them is just as important.

    5. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      you can reassess this argument at the end of February not 1st week of January. Klopp/Liverpool won't let it slip this time so no chance they take their foot off the pedal

      1. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        I need to assess it now to decide what players to get now, not in Feb. Just had a one pointer and one minute from Sterling ... can’t afford that sort of money for a one pointer

        1. FPL_Crisis
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Fair enough. Kdb still the only city asset to own imo. As you said can’t have ~12m mid who gets benched. To answer the question nothing has changed, both city and pool will continue full strength but city rotation won’t stop

  8. The_Fish
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Might get Fabs now.

    1. The_Fish
      • 8 Years

      Reply fail to BNMC

      1. BNMC
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        I'd do it but only on a WC. Goalkeeper transfers always seem like burning a transfer.

    2. FPL.team
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Are West Ham suddenly good defensively now?

      1. Lebowski85
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        With him & Moyes....yeah

        1. FPL.team
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Can't see that being the case but if you think so, go for it!

  9. FPL Doctor

    1 FT and 1.0 ITB
    Any suggestions or g2g?

    Guaita
    TAA Soy Rico
    Salah KDB Maddison Alli
    Vardy(c) Ings Abraham

    1. Kip

      G2G,save ft

  10. Kip
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Got 2ft and no idea what to do with it. I’ll be shifting Tammy/Grealish later on to fund Robbo but for next gw a strong front 8 seems needed.

    Where would you use a Ft? 0.1 itb. Atm i feel like Guaita => Fab/Ryan. Can it get any duller?

    Team:

    Guaita 4.0
    Taa Soy Lund Rico Kiko
    Mané KDB Alli Maddi Grealish
    Vardy Jimi Tammy

  11. konrad.sygula95

    What would you do with this team?
    Should I use a WC ?

    Pope/Krul
    Lundstram/Kelly/Rico/Soy/Robbo
    Salah/Kdb/Lucas/Martial/Cantwell
    Vardy/Abraham/Connolly

    1. Kip
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      You are fine.

      Downgrade Moura (traore?) and upgrade connoly to maupay/dcl

    2. Sparky6670
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Using WC would be madness

      Just upgrade Connolly - Maupay, Deeney, Ayew etc

    3. Christina.
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      yes, WC.

      Post your team please after you are done.

  12. Cruz88
    • 11 Years

    Bench one:

    A) Martial
    B) Ings
    C) Maddison

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      wow. B

    2. Azathoth

      C

    3. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      have we not learn already - playing with fire to bench Ings (have the same dilemma as i want to play Traore this week).
      Would be a typical game for Martial to blank

  13. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Do we think VVD will rise before deadline?

    Just realized I have just enough $ itb to do Reid & Zaha -> VVD & Dendo. gulp

  14. FPL Doctor
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Play 1:

    A) Rico
    B) Kelly (have Guaita)
    C) Lundstram

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Rico I guess.

  15. Rash
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Any changes needed or hold?

    Schmeichel 
    Trent sidibe aurier

    Im rocking with this:

    Fabianski
    TAA Soy Kelly
    Salah Mane KdB Alli
    Vardy Ings Ayew

    4 DGW's in place for 24

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Mine's better

      Fabianski
      TAA Rico Kelly
      Salah Mane KDB Martial
      Rashford Vardy Ayew

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Rotating Ayew with Cantwell?

        1. NABIL - FPL otai
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Maybe. Or just play Ayew.

          Another option for me is like this:

          Salah* Mane* Antonio* KDB Martial
          Vardy Ings (Ayew)

          I think this one is even better.

  17. Lukakus talking

    1. Ynwalfc
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      You could do the Liverpool double up and bring in Gomez also

  19. Pep Roulette
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    DCL or Jiminez?

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Might lose one this week to strengthen 2nd player.

          Losing Rashford and Alli is a big debt.

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Not viable going with both Mane & Mo

      1. FPL.team
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Why? 2 of the top 3 mids in the game, both scoring plenty of pts.

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Cost, not outscoring cheaper options by that much, can only captain one etc etc etc

          1. FPL.team
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years

            Ah ok.

  22. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Ayew best option below 5.7 to rotate with Cantwell?

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Wondering why he becomes an option, got him around GW13-17 was not a good ride at all

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        To fund Salah, Mane, Kdb

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 15 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Zero point to having both, i learnt the hard way, and not once have they both hauled for anyone who has both. Far too expensive, and will damage rank, trust me, been there done it, doesn’t work.

      2. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Mousset also an option, but less nailed and worse fixtures

      3. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Played him in GW7-13.. the ride was fun, at 5.1 was doing good actually.

    2. Top Dog
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Can’t afford DCL?

      If not then def Ayew

  23. LewanGOALski
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    1) play: Cantwell (CRY) or Grealish (bur) ?

    2) (C): Vardy or KDB or Salah ?

    rate my boring transfers that i already made so whats the point but just to let me know your thoughts:

    Grealish and gazzaniga (what a horrible WC keeper that was...) out

    traore and Fabianski in

    for free

        their fixtures are far from appealing, figured traore should match grealish and free some moeny
        but who knows...

    Lost a lot of ground in my leagues this week after Salah (c) backfired and everyone else went Vardy with Kane/Rash/KDB (v).

    2ft - any suggestions?

    Ramsdale
    TAA Aurier Soyuncu
    Grealish Salah KDB Alli
    Vardy Abraham Jimenez

        Need to lose one to redistribute funds, Mane and KDB other midfielders.
