The fourth round of our FFS Cup took place in Gameweek 32+, with 64 Fantasy managers whittled down to 32 after its conclusion.

The fifth round is scheduled to play out in Gameweek 33+, the deadline for which is at 11.30am BST on Saturday.

ALL RESULTS FROM THE FOURTH ROUND CAN BE VIEWED HERE
THE FULL DRAW FOR THE FIFTH ROUND IS AVAILABLE TO VIEW HERE

Former winner Wild Rover saw off Hafizi39 in the round of 64 and will now take on Cailean_2 this weekend.

billybly was our highest-ranked FPL boss left in the competition but exited in the fourth round and dropped out of the top 1k in the process.

Manisaspor, who sits at 1,591st in the world, now takes on that mantle, with Dial Square just 35 places behind.

Johnnex023 was the only one FPL manager in round four who posted a triple-figure score in Gameweek 32+, racking up exactly 100 points.

Every single one of our remaining 32 managers is ranked inside the top 300,000.

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+
Round 3 – Gameweek 31+
Round 4 – Gameweek 32+
Round 5 – Gameweek 33+
Round 6 – Gameweek 34+
Quarter-Final – Gameweek 35+
Semi-Finals – Gameweek 36+
Final and third-place play-off – Gameweek 37+

WHEN ARE THE FIXTURES RELEASED?

Where possible, the fixture list for each round will be published before each Gameweek deadline.

    Martinez
    Sais taylor taa (kiko lascels)
    Mane kdb brno son (gundozi)
    Jimi rash vardy

    Which
    A) Vardy gundozi son -4 to mahrez puli grenwod
    B) vardy gundozi to mahrez/puli grenwod & leave son for gw34+ then out

    1. Rolls-Royce
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      B

  2. Crashjct
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Keep Son or transfer for a -4 to:

    A. Mahrez
    B. Martial
    C. Pulisic

    Thank you, kindly.

    1. Nightf0x
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Same dilemma, will probably leave him for gw34+ then out, now cant decide puli or mahrez, 1 now 1 in 35+

    2. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      None of those are worth a hit. Son still a good option

    3. Powers106
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I'm doing Son to Mahrez for free -- tough call with a -4, probably would hold.

      1. Crashjct
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Went Leno > Pope with my FT. I figured that was a bigger priority, as I didn’t want to face Wolves with Martinez.

  3. kysersosa
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Double up on Burnley defence today, Pope and Taylor (over Aurier)?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      probably yes

    2. Jullepuu
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah

    3. Rolls-Royce
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Aurier for attacking threat

      1. kysersosa
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Would you play him over DCL? I have him upfront?

  4. FCSB
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Repost for comments

    If in early team news Connolly was benched who would you play here??

    1. Connolly (hope he gets a cameo goal)
    2. Lascelles (hope the ‘cut’ doesn’t keep him out)
    3. Cantwell (hope Norwich fight)

    Thanks.

    1. Rolls-Royce
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      3

    2. Jullepuu
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      2 and 3 first on bench

    3. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      2

    4. n14mul
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      3, but xonnolky plays 🙂

  5. Rolls-Royce
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Who would you captain out of this lot?
    A) Mane
    B) Marital
    C) Bruno
    D) Mahrez

    1. Woy_is_back
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      So haaaaaaaaaaaard
      Martial will probably troll us

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        this!

    2. Jullepuu
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Martial

    3. Cojones of Destiny
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      all options are good except B

    4. Jason M
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Add Salah to the mix instead of Martial and I'm in the same dilemma.

      Have a 53 point mini league lead but really fancy Mahrez captain. Should I play safe and go Salah.

      2nd place has Salah and Mane and will prob captain one of them.

      Crunch GW this

    5. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      D.

    6. n14mul
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      mane, or martial, home advatage for me

    7. Easy Cheesy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Given noise I would probably go B as the only absolutely nailed person out of this lost. Admittedly C will play if these articles are fake (which they are probably are) but why take the risk?

    8. mysteryDave
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      It is tough. TAA also an option. I'm assuming you have only 2 LIV.
      I'd go Mane/TAA.

      If you have only 2 MUN then Bruno ahead of Martial ( but maybe check for late team news) I don't think Martial will get a hattrick again but Bruno is always involved.

      If you capt LIV player then give vice to Bruno, if you capt Bruno give vice to TAA/Mane in case a whole game is postponed.

      Only consider Mahrez of he's your only City asset but even then the others have better fixtures and you never know who starts with Pep.

    9. Rolls-Royce
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Cheers all.

  6. mysteryDave
    • 17 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    A) Get Mahrez bench DCL
    or
    B) Get Jesus bench Saka?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      A

    2. Pomp and Circumstance
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      A

    3. Jullepuu
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      A

  7. Tonyawesome69
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Who to bench:
    1. Greenwood
    2. Ings

    1. Jullepuu
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Ings

    2. n14mul

      ings

  8. Reg83
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    So many articles on Pogba and Bruno injuries in training ground. Is it something minor or Bruno is really a doubt? I am planning on captaining him.

    1. Jullepuu
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I think it's just bs

  9. ManeManeManeMane
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    FH Team gtg?

    Schmeichel
    TAA Stevens Evans
    Mahrez Pulisic Bruno (C) Salah Martial
    Rashford Pukki

    Nketiah Robinson Rico

    1. BERGKOP
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Stevens and Evans?

      1. BERGKOP
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Pukki? There's a few I wouldn't even consider.

        Not convinced by Leicester either.

        1. mysteryDave
          • 17 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Attack is toothless but defence isn't bad.

  10. Cojones of Destiny
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    bottomed

    play;
    a. Jota
    b. F.Fernandes

      B

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • 10 Years

          • 8 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          thx mate

  11. Miguel Sanchez
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Is Krul to Pope gonna be worth a hit in the long term?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      tricky 35 and 36 fixtures

    2. Cojones of Destiny
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      glad i got pope two gws ago, still not too late imo

    3. n14mul
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      nope, I dont see why most teams have pope as arguably they will want to transfer him out in a couple of weeks.

  12. n14mul
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Morning,

    Right think I have sorted my wc but really would appreciate some input please!

    Patricio / Martinez
    TAA Doherty Taylor / Basham Holgate
    Salah KDB Mahrez Bruno Martial
    Jimi Greenwood / Connolly

    I plan to go mahrez > foden next week allowing me to also do connolly to ings and upgrade one of the defneders later. I need a decent bench so I can play BB later on, thank you.

    1. mysteryDave
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Big midfield!

      1. n14mul
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        I think all the points are in the midfield atm, we are being spoiled

    2. Don F
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I havw changes my WC and it is quite similar to yours....... but, I am adding Lloris instead of Patricio.....(same price)

      1. n14mul
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Never thought of lloris tbh. Did flirt with the idea of aurier but then saw how shocking spurs where at the back vs shef utd and had 2nd thoughts

  13. Salarrivederci
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Gtg?

    Kepa
    Doherty-Azpi-Justin
    Son-Fernandes-Martial-Pulisic
    Jimenez-Rashford-Kane

    (Martinez, Traore, Aurier, Taylor)

    1. Salarrivederci
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Rash (C)
      1 FT
      0 ITB

    2. n14mul
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      decent but don't fancy the double Chelsea defence

  14. Easy Cheesy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Martial or bruno for one week punt ahead of WC next week?

    A - martial
    B - bruno

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      B

    2. n14mul
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      martial if a punt. Arguably you could want both

    3. The Man Pastore
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      B

  15. Rolls-Royce
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Kinda like Mahrez captain because he should be on pen and other setpieces if KdB doesn't start. Southampton's home record also has been poor of late with 4 losses out of last 5 home games.

    1. The Man Pastore
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      KDB should start though

      1. Rover
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        But why? Pep had an unused sub, the game was comfortable wrapped up. If he was going to start KdB 3 days later he would have taken him off for at least 10 minutes’ rest

    2. Eze Really?
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Poor of late? Always 9 0 poor too

      1. Rolls-Royce
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah. They have been much better away

  16. Dream Killers 2.0
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    A)Martial and Fernandez
    B)Pulisic and AWB
    C)Mahrez and Fernandez

  17. The Man Pastore
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Repost.

    Need your help for this week's transfer. I am tworn between 2 options :

    Patricio Martin
    TAA Doherty Maguire Lascelles Kiko
    KDB Son Bruno Martial Richarlison
    DCL Jiminez Nketiah

    2FT / 0.7IT

    A) Richa + Son --> Foden + Salah
    B) Rich --> Mahrez and save FT

    Thanks!

    1. BERGKOP
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Tough. Probably B

    2. mysteryDave
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I like A. Liverpool going to have a reaction.

  18. Who Ate All Depays?
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Any suggestions with 1FT & 0.5m itb?

    Patricio
    Stevens, Doherty, Lascelles
    KDB, Sterling, Bruno, Martial-8
    Rashford, Auba, Jiminez
    (Martin, Luiz, Lund, Simpson)

    A) Save FT
    B) Auba & Martial -> Maupay & Salah (-4)
    C) any other suggestions

  19. kubos27
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Guys help, I have 2 FT. I plan to make transfer and then play FH for the same GW. Will the transfer I did before I had played FH remain?

    1. mysteryDave
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      The transfer won't register. FH the same GW and you lose the second transfer. It will revert back next GW and you'll only have 1 free.

      If you really need the free hot them accept it, if not try to use 2 transfers this week and save free hit.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      • 17 Years

      No

  20. primal33
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Captain Mahrez, Salah or Bruno?

    1. pukunui
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Salah

      1. Woy_is_back
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Villa defensively improved

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Salah

    3. mysteryDave
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I don't like Mahrez for capt as his fixture is worse and you never know if he'll play.

      Salah or Bruno. I'd go with the team you have fewer players on the same team of from those two and (VC) the other

  21. el polako

    Saturday off work, cup of coffe sport news on TV and last minute tinkering - oh how I missed it 🙂

  22. Woy_is_back
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    So down to Mahrez or Fernandes on csptaincy, whos your pick?

    1. Christina.
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      did you sell Son for Mahrez?

      1. Woy_is_back
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah

      2. Woy_is_back
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Spurs look really cack

        1. Christina.
          • 16 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          you benching KgB again?

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Bruno from those two - central to everything they do and plenty of roots to points

    3. pukunui
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Fernandes

    4. OverTinker
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Why not salah?

  23. OptimusBlack
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    If U still have TC would use it this GW and for whom ?

    1. Jafalad
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Salah for me..and about to play it.

      10ppg at home/Villa/backlash/no rot = stars aligned.

      1. Woy_is_back
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Will he start though?

        1. Jafalad
          • 16 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Defo. Only played twice since restart.

    2. n14mul
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Thank Yooou

  24. Craigj28
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    How does my free hit team look?
    Alisson (nyland)
    TAA, Alonso, Richie (Taylor, Lamptey)
    Foden, Fernandes, KDB, Salah, Mahrez
    Greenwood, Rashford (Maupay)

    To much on Man City and Man United? Who could I change?

    1. BERGKOP
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Pretty solid. Alonso is a ? and will Richie start?

      1. Craigj28
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Any suggestions for richie replacement?

  25. mysteryDave
    • 17 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    It is tough. TAA also an option. I'm assuming you have only 2 LIV.
    I'd go Mane/TAA.
    If you have only 2 MUN then Bruno ahead of Martial ( but maybe check for late team news) I don't think Martial will get a hattrick again but Bruno is always involved.

    If you capt LIV player then give vice to Bruno, if you capt Bruno give vice to TAA/Mane in case a whole game is postponed.

    I'd only consider Mahrez of he's your only City asset but even then the others have better fixtures and you never know who starts with Pep.

  26. Slitherene
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Apart from Dawson, who is the most nailed Watford defender?

  27. manu4life99
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Start Foden or Aurier?

    1. Christina.
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      F

    2. n14mul
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      thats a though one, aurier as foden played full 90 on Thursday I think

      1. Christina.
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        aurier was taken off because he cant defend

  28. proczell
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    WC team. Good to go

    Pope
    VVD-Doh-Alonso
    Fernandes-Salah-Mahrez-Pulisic
    Rash-Jim-Greenwood

    Nyland-Foden-Holgate-Simpson

    1.4ITB
    Will do Salah->KdB next week. Could use money itb to upgrade greenwood to Ings.

      Are mahrez and pulisic nailed? Looks good if so.

        Pulisic should be. Taking my chances with Mahrez. He should start the next two at least

      Looks good. Quite similar to Ben Crellin’s likely WC team who I respect a lot.

    Im very confused as to what to do with this lot...would like martial and maybe Salah but not sure. Im thinking just use 1 of my ft's and release some value from Pickford.... can anyone offer more exciting suggestions?
