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.

    Does free hit let you roll over a free transfer?

  4. Garam MOSALAH
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    2 FTs

    A) Vardy Traore Saka > Nketiah Mahrez Willian (-4)
    B) Vardy Traore Saka > Ings Foden Willian (-4)

    1. Sicaholic
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      A. Ings poor fixtures, foden played full 90 so mahrez more likely to start

    2. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      A for reasons above.

    3. Garam MOSALAH
      • 12 Years

      Thanks guys

  5. Jokesy87

    Pope (Martinez)
    TAA Aurier Lascelles (Robinson, Holgate)
    KDB Bruno Martial Saka (dendonker)
    Auba Rashford Jiménez

    (Sub order - Dendonker, Robinson, Holgate)

    Or...FH team below

    Pope
    TAA Laporte AWB
    Mahrez Foden Bruno Willian Salah
    Rashford Jiménez
    Bench - woodman, Connolly, 2x 3.9 def

    Do I save FH or go for it?!

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

      Save FH. Can’t you just sell Auba ?

    2. Garam MOSALAH
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Save

    3. Shineonme
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Play FH because KDB likely to be rested. I've done the same.

  6. jammerz888
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    I had a 16 point lead in my League and just took a 16 point hit to make transfers :/

    Worth it?

    Pope
    Saiss Soyuncu VVD
    Salah Mahrez Bruno Dbruyne Pulisic
    Rashford Jiminex

    1. Sicaholic
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Looks good but can't say worth or not without knowing your previous team.

  7. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Mo Salah has scored 49 Premier League home goals in 59 appearances for Liverpool and Chelsea combined.

    Salah captain v Villa for his hatty, he might even grab a bonus point 😛

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

      Think he is determined to join Henry and Shearer with three consecutive golden boots

  8. Rinseboy
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    1. Is Son to Mahrez worth a -4?
    2. Captain Salah or Martial?

    Thanks!

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

      1 nah dont think so

      1. Rinseboy
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        captain for you Christina?

    2. Sicaholic
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      1. No.
      2. Salah to be "safe", martial if you're chasing

    3. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      1. Don't know. If you intend to keep Mahrez the rest of the season then yes.
      2. Salah for me.

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

        Agree with this

        1. Rinseboy
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          thanks Camzy I do and it frees up cash to upgrade DCL to Ings in a few weeks

          1. Camzy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Okay then yes, do it I'd say.

            People are often afraid to take hits but if you're gonna do it later anyway, it gives you a transfer the next week to improve your squad further that you otherwise would be using on last week's transfer.

            1. Rinseboy
              • 14 Years
              6 years, 1 month ago

              thanks!

    4. Shineonme
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Salah cap

    5. DandyDon
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I’ll also transfer in Mahrez for a -4 and will be captaining Martial again. Utd have a lot more to play for where as whilst I think pool will win Villa are fighting for survival. Salah also due a rest after playing 90 minutes. Hope I prove to be right but could easily go the other way

  9. Sicaholic
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    A. Kane + Pulisc
    B. Salah + greenwood

    My bench is nketiah, saiss, holgate

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

      B given the strong bench. Probably irrelevant as greenwood seems nailed anyway

    2. Garam MOSALAH
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      B

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

    I am wondering if it's a good week to TC Salah?

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

      If Salah starts then bizarrely it would give me more confidence to TC him in one of the next two Liverpool games. Probably Burnley

      At this stage you don’t know if Klopp going to ring the changes now and future weeks

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

        True, thanks

    2. Shineonme
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I can't see any other TC options better to the end of the season can you?

  11. MOZIL
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Start Cantwell or Abraham

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

      Abraham surely!

  12. JB_FC
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    On WC which is best (already got Mahrez & KDB)

    A) Pulisic & Saiss
    B) Foden & Doherty

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

      A safer? (Foden could be rotated?)

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

    Start dcl or Aurier?

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      DCL. Spurs defence awful

    2. MOZIL
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      DCL

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

      Dcl

  14. Mr. Sitter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Would you rather have:

    A) Salah + Foden
    B) Son + Mahrez

    1. Front 442
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      A

  15. lifes a pitch
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Which one???

    A) Salah+ Son+ Greenwood
    B) Martial+ Mahrez+ Vardy

    1. FCRS BGD
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Tough one, i would go B

    2. MOZIL
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      B

  16. FCRS BGD
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Guys,
    Antonio, Jota , Pepe,
    Who to bench for this gameweek?

    Thanks

    1. FCRS BGD
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Pepe, right?

  17. Blue Bombers CFC
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    On a free hit. What do people prefer:

    A. Azpi and Mane

    Or

    B. Sterling and VVD

    Thanks!

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

      Probably B. Sterling is surely due a purple patch

  18. Ha.
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    I’ve just WCd KDB out

    Send help

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Poor decision.

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

        Ty

  19. Tingate
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Used my WC this week.

    Going to BB next GW, this G2G?

    Pope
    TAA - AWB - VVD - Mendy
    Salah - KDB - Mahrez - Bruno - Martial
    DCL

    Martinez - Deeney - Nketiah - Kiko

    £0.1M ITB. Thanks!

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Why would you possibly get Mendy? Huge rotation risk.

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

        This I think Zinchenko will play this week surely!

    2. Shineonme
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Zinc will play instead of mendy this week

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

      of your planning for a bb then I would want a better bench. Would down grade mendy and use the money. Rest is good not too keen on dcl but striking options are limited!

  20. Akshay9971
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Triple captain Salah this GW or Bruno next GW?

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

      Or Bruno this week!? Bournemouth are worse than Villa currently I would say.

    2. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Salah has a higher ceiling

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

      has to be this week for either

  21. cutch
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    With only AWB from Man United, is it worth doing a FH in order to bring Bruno and Martial (at the expense of KDB)?

    I would bring Willian and Saint-Maximin as well.

    Thanks in advance!

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

      Yes

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

      Great transfers in

    3. rhysmd
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I would, yes

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

      sounds like a plan on a fh!

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

    Start which one??

    A) DC-L (tot)
    B) Saiss (ARS)
    C) Holgate (tot)
    D) Nketiah (wol)

    1. balint84

      A

    2. Ha.

      B

    3. TheDragon
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Surely DCL (I know he is very upsetting to own)

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

      a or b

  23. balint84
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Bench 2 pls

    Gomez, Boly, Pva, Söyüncü, Awb

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

      Pva. Boly

      But how did you end up with a defence like that ?!?!

    2. Ha.
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      If you’re benching AWB, you’re doing it wrong

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

      pva soy. Leicester ain't looking good

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

    1) Salah + Saint-Maximin + McGinn
    2) Bruno + Martial + Grealish

  25. zotter
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Best captain out of these. Want to play it safe more than anything but don’t know if that means go for Salah or avoid Salah !

    A. Trent
    B. Salah
    C. Pulisic
    D. Bruno
    E. Martial

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Defo salah

    2. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      B

    3. Von Lipwig
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I think I'm going Martial... But I'm not confident about it lol

    4. cutch

      B

    5. Shineonme

  26. Garam MOSALAH
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    2 FTs

    Pope Martinez
    Maguire Doherty Aurier Lascelles Holgate
    KDB Bruno Son Traore Saka
    Jimi Rashy Vardy

    A) Vardy Traore > Ings Mahrez
    B) Vardy Traore Saka > Nketiah Mahrez Willian (-4)
    C) Vardy Traore Saka > Ings Foden Willian (-4)

    Looking forward to Chelsea assets
    Ings won’t give harm in next 3 imo

    1. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      CAB

  27. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Pope
    VVD, Doherty, AWB
    Fernandes, Martial, Mount, KdB
    Ings, Jimenez, Aubameyang

    Henderson, Henderson, Lundstram, Egan

    Play Egan or Henderson over Mount?
    I feel Doherty vs Arsenal is worth playing.
    Mount out for Pulisic/Willian/Foden/Sterling?
    The red flagged Lundstram out for Laporte?

    All would be for hits. Thoughts appreciated. Trailing in most competitions.

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

      think if you downgrade auba it would help your team. You're would be able to get in puli mahrez instead of mount and also strengthen your bench for the run in where there maybe some suprise rotation

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

      Yes on Doherty

      I don't think you need hits. GTG.
      Lund to Laporte ok on a free.

  28. jason_ni
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Who do I bench?

    A)DCL
    B) Foden

    Rest is
    Salah(c) - Bruno f - Puli - Son
    Jimi - Rash

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

      Foden for sure

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

        You really thing DCL will outscore Foden?

        I'd play Foden and DCL first sub.

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

          Yes. Foden will likely be on the bench

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

            Thanks!

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

      foden

  29. rhysmd
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    De Gea
    TAA Soyuncu Basham
    Foden KDB Mane Bruno
    Rashford Jiminez DCL

    3.9 Fernandez Saiss Dendoncker

    1ft 1.3 itb

    Good to go? I’m giving DCL one more week

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

      Looks ok. Bruno(c) or TAA?

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

        I might punt on Rashford as I have got ground to make up in a mini league - not many others have him

  30. TAT
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Which move to make? Tempted by doing the second one.

    1. DCL+Traoré > Greenwood+Mahrez (-4)
    2. Foster, Auba, Traoré > Pope, Mahrez, Rashford (-8)
    3. Hayden > Foden (playing 3-5-2, benching DCL)

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

      Can you not do Auba, Traore -> Rashford, Mahrez ?
