FFS Cup

The latest FFS Cup fixtures and results

Only eight Fantasy managers remain in our FFS Cup following the completion of Gameweek 34+.

The quarter-finals of this competition are now set to take place in Gameweek 35+, the deadline for which is at 11:30 BST today.

ALL RESULTS FROM THE SIXTH ROUND CAN BE VIEWED HERE
THE FULL DRAW FOR THE QUARTER-FINALS IS AVAILABLE TO VIEW HERE

Former winner Wild Rover, the only manager remaining who sits outside the top 100k, has reached the last eight after an 86-81 win over Moore Rovers.

Wild Rover will now take on Manisaspor, one of three FPL bosses who sit inside the top 10,000 who are still alive in our FFS Cup.

We’ve got an all-top 5k clash in the last eight, with graslauk facing Powell.

Bencaraway reached the quarter-finals by virtue of their superior overall rank, having drawn 63-all with wilkinson.

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.

  1. All about that Baines
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    HELP ME CHOOSE..

    A) Son to Salah + KDB to Willian
    B) Son to Mane + KDB to Willian
    C) Son to Salah + KDB to Pulisic
    D) Son to Mane + KDB to Pulisic

    I own Bruno, Greenwood, Rashford, Sterling, Jiminez.

    And... should i use my TC this week?

    1. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      A for me

      Mo might not be great this week but he’s the one I’d want over the next 4.

      Willian over Pulisic but close call. Think he may just be less rotation prone and has pens

      See why you’re thinking of ditching KdB but I’m not going there. May just lose Bruno instead next week or 37. Similar profile to KdB with both being boosted massively by pens - overperforming.

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      D

    3. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Do you have 2 FTs?

      I would do Son to Mane (just in case Salah is rested) and roll the other FT.

      Re TC, perhaps next week (City Bournemouth, Chelsea Norwich) would be a better time to use it.

  2. Harvey Spector

    Chasing 40 odd points.

    Captain:
    a)Sterling
    b) Bruno
    c) Rasford

    Thinking a or c but worrying about their limited minutes.

    1. Twisted Melon
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Any news on the Jimenez baby? Due in the next couple days got a bad feeling he's making a no show Sunday.

    2. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      If chasing, you are right to consider a or c. Probably a

    3. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      A

  3. davies
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Play Aurier or Saiss?

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      is Aurier injured ?

      1. davies
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Nope

    2. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔

      Saiss

  4. Nightf0x
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    After last gw, chasing ML 41 pts, which ?

    A) kiko son to sterling pieters/bardsly/long, Will bench him this gw, FH 36+, 37+ jimi to ings, 38+ puli to Dsilva

    B) jimi son to vardy/jesus & mahrez/antonio, FH 36+, 37+ vardy/jesus kiko -4 to burnley def. & Ings, 38+ puli to dsilva or -4 with antonio to city mid

  5. zizoo10
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    are we expecting KDB to get benched? seriously considering KDB > Sterling (C) because i recall him limping in the last game

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      likely yes

    2. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I don’t think he’ll be benched

    3. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Noone really knows. One could argue that he'll play this week and then get rested for the Bournemouth game since it's 3 days before the Cup semi.

      1. zizoo10
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        appreciate this point

    4. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      More likely Bournemouth

      Agree with Rasping Drives point about the Cup - falls in a similar way to the Burnley rest iirc.

      Also KdB throughout the season just hasn’t been rested by Pep. He played through Xmas pretty much - the beating heart of the team. Haven’t checked but suspect he has more minutes than any other premium. Decent 3 month lay off too

    5. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Got rid a few weeks ago after he sneezed.

  6. La Roja
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Anybody else tempted to FH on GW36?

    Some tasty fixtures there...

    1. Nightf0x
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yes fh 36 tc 38

      1. LegendMoon
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Who will u TC in 36?

    2. LegendMoon
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I'm going in 38 and getting William and silva for last games so will be on pens plus all golden boot challengers

    3. Pompel
      • 10 Years

      O/

  7. Lignja
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Gtg? News on Holgate?

    Pope
    Taa, Doherty, Holgate
    Salah, Kdb, Mahrez, Martial, Bruno
    Greenwood, Vardy(c)

    Martin, Saiss, Lascales, Connolly

    1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I would prefer to play Saiss over Holgate personally

      1. Lignja
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        He will come in if he miss, i split like this if he play rather than double up

  8. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Really stuck, what to do here?
    DDG(Button)
    TAA Doherty Aurier (Lascelles)(Simpson)
    KDB Mane Fernandes Foden Mahrez
    Jimenez Rashford (Nketiah)

    1ft, 0.3itb

    Rashford to Greenwood? or save maybe?

    1. The_Fish
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Save

    2. Hulk Smash
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Get Greenwood

  9. The_Fish
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    FH team

    Ederson
    Robbo Laporte Dawson
    Mane Sterling Bruno Pulisic Martial
    Vardy Greenwood

    Anything obvious there?

    1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Strong team, I love it!

    2. shapply

      looks juicy

    3. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Antonio instead of Pulisic?

      1. Hulk Smash
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Don't do this

    4. The_Fish

      Cheers all

    5. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Why are you FHing?

  10. shapply
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    could you help me, please? I don't have a clue what to do with my strikers
    1FT, 1.5itb

    Henderson
    Doherty, Digne, VVD (Hanley, Simpson)
    Fernandes, KDB, Mane, Pulisic (Guendouzi)
    Rashford, Jimenez, DCL

    1. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      DCL to Ings or Greenwood

    2. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Or sell Jimenez - Everton's run in is rather tasty.

      1. shapply
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I'm just worried about:

        while Moise Kean will be hoping for a look-in as Dominic Calvert-Lewin's struggles in front of goal drag on. Ancelotti indeed said on Friday that he "wants to keep it fresh and do some changes", with less than 72 hours separating Gameweeks 34+ and 35+.

        1. Rasping Drive
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Yup, solid argument.

          1. shapply
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            I did Jimenez+Guendouzi to Greenwood+Antonio
            DCL on the bench this gw. I'm going to use my TC on Bruno in gw37 and BB in 38.

    3. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      DCL out looks a no brainer even if he starts

      Greenwood or Ings? Don't see much between them here on in. Ings is likely to remain a touch off template but comes at a price

  11. fc_skrald
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Two free transfers and one of the most difficult gameweeks for me to make a decision:

    a. Simpson + Jiménez -> VVD + Greenwood
    b. Doherty + Jiménez -> Lamptey + Vardy
    c. Jiménez + Auba -> Vardy + Greenwood
    d. Guendouzi + Jiménez -> Foden + Greenwood

    Martinez
    TAA, Doherty, Aurier
    KDB, Salah, Pulisic, Fernandes
    Jiménez, Auba, Ings

    Button, Lascelles, Guendouzi, Simpson
    2 free transfer, 0.0 million in the bank, wildcard, free hit and bench boost chips

  12. antis0cial
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Cpt

    A) Sterling
    B) Bruno
    C) Salah

    1. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Sterling

      Think people are overlooking how Brighton let in 3 against Liverpool and United. The 3 relatively decent defensive performances came against ten man Arsenal, toothless Norwich and less than rampant Wolves.

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Same

        1. antis0cial
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Thanks all, I’m on Sterling with Bruno vc but lots seem to be going Bruno so just checking my sanity!

    2. gellinmagellan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Sterling. Can’t afford him without a -8. But would captain him if I had him

    3. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      B

  13. Nightf0x
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    After last gw, chasing ML 41 pts, which route ?

    A) kiko son to sterling pieters/bardsly/long, Will bench him this gw,
    FH 36+
    37+ jimi to ings
    38+ puli to Dsilva

    B) jimi son to vardy/jesus & mahrez/antonio,
    FH 36+
    37+ vardy/jesus kiko -4 to burnley def. & Ings
    38+ puli to dsilva or -4 with antonio to city mid

  14. The Tinkerman
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    I only C flops, had Fernandes C for his only blank since GW25. I’m going to C him again this week, so fair warning - change your captains.

    1. sminkypinky
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Snap

  15. EL tridente
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Who to captain?
    A) Salah
    B) Bruno

    1. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      B

  16. olidooley
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Salah’s underlying stats are great
    He has 6 double digit hauls at Anfield this season
    He’s chasing the golden boot
    Klopp has spoken about his goal scoring records
    He is the record top scorer in a season in the history of fpl

    Why not captain if you have him?

    1. The Tinkerman
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Because if he is going to be rested, this looks like the most likely fixture. Mane was only 1 goal behind him in golden boot last week, he was rested.

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      It would be his 4th start in 9 days tbf

      Firmino was rested in GW33, Mané rested GW34, we’re now in GW35 - what’s the next rest in that sequence (if any)?

      There are certainly factors that could be interpreted as supporting his start (as you rightly point out above)

      But there are (probably more) factors that could be interpreted as supporting his benching imo

      We’ll find out soon enough anyways!

  17. WE GO FOR IT
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    How's this as a FH team?

    Allison
    Robertson Cresswell PvA/AWB
    Mane Sterling Pulisic Bruno Antonio
    Greenwood Vardy

    Gayle (Rest bench fodder)

  18. Plagued by indecision
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    I have one more FT to use and would really like a differential replacement for Son (or bench him and play Saka?) I can go up to 10.1m.

    Martinez
    AWB / Saiss / Doherty
    Mahrez / Martial / Salah / Son
    Vardy (c) / Jimenez / Greenwood

    Subs: Pope / Saka / Aurier / Lascelles

    1. sminkypinky
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I have your differential below. What do you say?

      1. Plagued by indecision
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Good shout. I’ve gone Willian though

  19. sminkypinky
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Hit worth it?

    Ddg
    Aurier taa Doh
    Mo Bruno Kdb son
    Ings Jimmy Mason

    4.0 ASM Holgate Robinson

    Thinking son+Jimmy->Antonio+Vardy for a hit. Is my bench sufficient though?

    1. sminkypinky
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Or am I better off going son+Jimmy->Raheem+Nacho? I guess not. Having second thoughts about Antonio/Sterling

    2. -GK22-
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Bench is a slight risk if all still injured but expect most of your 11 to play at some point!

      I did those guys out to willian and vardy but also fancied Antonio do press the button!!

      Son and Jimi have been terrible

      1. sminkypinky
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Agreed. Cheers!

  20. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Any chance of greenwood ring rested? thinking about putting the armband on him for a bit of a different choice

    1. sminkypinky
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Not likely imo. Subbed early enough plus Oles comments

    2. WE GO FOR IT
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Nope. He's gonna start unless he gets injured in training.

      1. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Cheers fellas, have gone for it on the gut feeling, I’m sure Bruno will punish me suitably

  21. Kno
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    How much of a ML lead would you want at this point to feel safe ish?

    Managed to claw a 50ish lead in my money league but still dont feel like its over

    1. WE GO FOR IT
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I'd say 50 is fairly safe. He has to take a few punts on captains. Chips would make it interesting. If he TCs a player you don't own and he hauls, it might get close.

      1. Kno
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah, as far as chips go we all have FH left but everything else is used. We do have quite similar teams as well, 10 of the same players. Which surely is a big plus in my favour.

        Cheers for the thoughts 🙂

    2. CONNERS
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I'd say 100 points is safe. 50 is still catchable with a couple of poor (unlucky) captain picks.

    3. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years

      150pts

  22. robdag
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    A) Foden to Willian (captain Bruno)
    B) Rashford to Vardy and then captain Vardy

    1. WE GO FOR IT
      • 8 Years

      A

    2. The Knights Template

    Morning dzzz, stuck between four moves...with 1FT and 4m itb

    DDG
    Taa • Doherty • Kiko -- Holgate Lamptey
    Mahrez • KDB • Bruno • Pulisic -- Guendouzi
    DCL • Jimmy • Rashford

    A: Ddg + Guendouzi >> Patrício + Martial (-4)...finally get a 3rd utd attacker
    B: Guendouzi + Rashford >> Sterling + Greenwood (-4)
    C: Guendouzi + Jimmy >> Foden + Vardy (-4) + 1m
    D: DCL >> Vardy

    1. -GK22-
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      C for me I recjon

    2. MrFrodo
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      B for me i think Sterling will do well this week but rotation for future weeks will be a concern.

  24. -GK22-
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Morning everyone! Quick GTG question before I can begin my day!! Anything look terrible with this lot? Top of my MLs so I guess I am playing it safe

    Pope
    Aurier, TAA, Saiss
    Salah, Bruno (c), Martial, Willian, KDB
    Vardy, Greenwood

    3.9, DCL, Lascelles, Robinson

  25. Slitherene
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Week after BB, chasing a 66 point lead.

    Martinez
    VvD Gomez Cresswell
    Sterling Bruno Mahrez Antonio Sarr
    Vardy Rashford
    Krul Saiss AWB DC-L

    Correct first 11 & bench order?

  26. olidooley
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Anytime goal scorer odds?

  27. Pompel
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Likely that Sterling gets rrsted in one of twp last GWs? Eant to bring him in as 3rd City mid , but hesitant of his minutes for the run-in.

    1. WE GO FOR IT
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      All City players will have their minutes managed. Sterling can score even after coming from the bench, like he did against Newcastle.

      1. Pompel
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Yes, but just as likely a 1 pointer in case of a cameo

  28. MrFrodo
    • 12 Years

    I'm trying to maintain my lead in my mini league and am 37pts clear at the moment I can't decide what to do with Son & Jimiinez.

    A. Leave and carry over the transfer
    B. Son > Antonio
    C. Son + Jiminez > Antonio + Jesus for -4

    Thanks

      In the same boat with 24 point lead.
      Currently I’m leaning to C but with Vardy.
      Then I see teams with sterling and want him...

        I'd love to get Sterling in but that would only leave me with 6.6 for a forward.

    is Rashford --> Vardy and DCL --> 5.9 or less forward a good move or no?

    Do you think Rashford has stopped running at his opponents as much as before because of a tactical switch or is it because of confidence issues or something else? He opts to pass more in recent games.
