FFS Cup

The latest FFS Cup fixtures and results

The second round of our FFS Cup took place in Double Gameweek 30+, with 256 managers whittled down to 128 following its completion.

We go again in Gameweek 31+ and, with Tuesday’s deadline hurtling into view, the quick turnaround means that this round-up will be briefer than normal.

All results from the second round can be viewed here
The full draw for the third round is available to view here

With Joe and reigning champion Philman bowing out, Wild Rover was the only previous one of our winners who made it through to round three.

He faces a tough task in Gameweek 31+, however, with Euroalien, currently ranked 827th in the world, standing in the way of a place in the last 64.

Two other managers in the third round of the FFS Cup are currently inside the top 1k, with rdamjam and Forza ranked at 43rd and 325th respectively.

They will face ChromeDome and FPLchewitt in round three.

There were some huge, triple-figure scores in Double Gameweek 30+, with TomTraubertsBlues and stamfordbridge both scoring 141.

HOW DO THE CUP COMPETITIONS WORK?

The FFS Cup is very similar to the Fantasy Premier League’s own cup game.

Entrants who qualify for the first round were randomly drawn against each other and the winner of the tie is whoever has the highest score from that Gameweek, minus points spent on transfers (like in the original game and in head-to-head scores).

In the event of a draw, the manager highest in the overall FPL rankings after the tie will progress.

WHAT IS THE GAMEWEEK SCHEDULE?

The FFS Cup competition will be played out according to the following proposed Gameweek schedule:

Fantasy Football Scout Cup Round Dates
Qualifying – Gameweek 28

Round 1 – Gameweek 29
Round 2 – Gameweek 30+

    Morning all, Grealish > Foden as fifth mid frees up funds for Egan > Digne, have exact money, decent moves would you say?

    Terrible team value so risking it with triple United attack. Ideas for improvement? Thanks!

    Dubravka Martinez
    TAA Doherty Saiss Lascelles Holgate

    Rashford DCL Jimenez

    1. bigbudgie
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      very similar to my first draft before I started panicking about no Salah
      I have Boly over Saiss and 3.9 instead of Holgate, and Foster over Dubravka

    2. drughi
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      very similar to my team, I have mane over son though

  3. S.Kuqi
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Salah/ Mane looks standout captain to me but lots of plp seem to favor Fernandes. What am I missing?

    1. reo19uk
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      SHU defense! No Henderson and 2 defenders missing

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Sounds bit over reacting to me. Not saying Fernandes isnt good option.

    2. Catastrophe
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      No Henderson or Egan. Salah or Mane look good to me. Prefer Mane for some reason.

    3. Sgt Frank Drebin
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Uncertainty over minutes I guess

  4. Catastrophe
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    On FH:

    A) Rashford, DCL, Salah, Lascelles (Guendouzi)
    B) Vardy, DCL, Martial, VVD (Aurier)
    C) Ings, DCL, Salah, AWB (Lascelles)
    D) Rashford, Ings, Richarlison, VVD (AWB)

    Rest of Team:

    Pope
    TAA, Doherty, X
    Mane, Son, Fernandes, X
    Jimenez, X, X

    Basically who best to exclude out of Vardy, Ings or 2nd United attacker?

    Cheers!

  5. Neo-Viper

    Son Tammy or Bergwijn Rashford

    1. Catastrophe
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Not overly keen on either. Giroud a concern for Tammy and I believe Mourinho made some comments about Bergwijn fitness/rotation (not injured)

      1. Neo-Viper
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Son and a 6.9 forward? who would it be?
        Can't afford Rashford and Son both.

        1. Neo-Viper
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          KDB Mane Fernandes XXX St. maximin.
          XXX Jimmi DCL

          16.6 M to spend

    WC TEAM, any thoughts?

    Pope Button

    TAA Doherty Maguire Aurier Lascelles
    Bruno KDB Son Martial Hayden
    Auba Jimenez DCL

    1. n-doggg
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Maybe downgrade auba ans upgrade someone to mane?

    2. Catastrophe
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      too many options up top to stick with Auba. Downgrade to Rashford/Ings/Vardy and upgrade elsewhere (Salah or Mane ideally).

  7. One Man
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Ings or Jota ?

    On FH have Jimmy and Calvent L.

    1. Catastrophe
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Ings

  8. How I met your Mata
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    If money wasn't an option

    Justin or Soy
    and
    Boly or Saiss

    1. DeathoftheParty
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Soy and Saiss

  9. n-doggg
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    A. Doherty and alli
    B. Doherty and richarlison
    C. Saiss and son

    1. TheDragon
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      With a heavy heart - B.

    2. How I met your Mata
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      defo not A, C safer, B more exciting

  10. The Polymath
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Worth it doing the following?

    Lascelles-->Fernandez
    Martinez---->Button

    1. n-doggg
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Na

    2. TheDragon
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      I think that’ll be worth 4-5 points easily by the end of the season so yes

  11. FDMS All Starz
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Would you keep KDB on a WC with 2 hard fixtures next and a rotation risk?
    Bought him at 9.7, he is now 10.7(10.1 selling value) keep or sell?

    1. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Personally I would keep. I had him from the start so lots of value built up, but also he's the sort of player who can score big against anyone and is worth tolerating the odd rotation for. An option I'm considering is getting both him and Foden.

    RMT:--

    Martinez Nyland
    TAA Doherty Aurier

  13. Big_Bear
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    My team value is currently 99.7m.
    Have you ever finished the season below 100m?

    I'm not doing brilliantly but currently 50k in world so I would be pretty high up the a lost value league I recon!

    1. Nightcrawler
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Im on 100.5 but ranked just outside 10k

      I thi k ive been bailed out by some excellent budget forwards all season. Ings DCL pukki(early on)

      1. Big_Bear
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah maybe it's been a different season. I think my captain choices have helped me when my team has let me down.

  14. Bucket Man
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Missed out on 100 points by 5 points. Free hit a good decision though.

    Good to save baring Salah fitness? Might risk Richarlison if he is out but think he will be OK.

    Pope
    TAA, Boly, Lascelles
    Salah, KDB, Fernandes, Barnes
    Auba, Jiminez, Ings
    Luiz, Stevens, Stephens

    1. n-doggg

      1. Patron
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago
