We’ve reached the final of the FFS Cup following the completion of Gameweek 36+ and £300-worth of prizes will be on the line over the next five days.

The final and third-place play-off of this competition will take place in Gameweek 37+, the deadline for which is at 16:30 BST today.

RESULTS FROM THE SEMI-FINALS CAN BE VIEWED HERE
THE DRAW FOR THE FINAL IS AVAILABLE TO VIEW HERE

Manisaspor saw off Joax2 65-58 in our first last-four clash.

The latter’s score would have been enough to win our other semi-final, which finished 50-46 to Powell.

The losing manager in that tie, Sharpey, will now take on Joax2 in the third-place play-off.

Our two finalists are having a super season, with Manisaspor lurking just outside the top 1k and Powell comfortably in it, sitting at 516th in the world.

Good luck to those involved.

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?

    Good to go, cpt ok?

      Looks good

  2. ZeBestee
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Is Wood (C) a bit too far?

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Depends on your situation

      I’m personally 40 points behind in my ml but 50 clear of the next, rank is nowhere so I’m taking the risk.

      If you’re protecting a lead something like Bruno cap is probably safer

      1. ZeBestee
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        I am protecting a lead, around 50 points. But thats not important, the most important thing is to finish in the top 10k, which I am around 40 points off..

        1. Deeney-is-a-god
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          does wood have good numbers? My feeling has been that burnley have struggled a little in attack, but looked good in defense after coronabreak. So not sure if it is wise to captain him?

        2. Tinkermania
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Then Wood makes sense. He could get a brace.

          1. Steve The Spud
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Reasonable stats over last few, NOR are their usual self. Roll the dice!

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

    Some thoughts on this please?

    Pope
    TAA Doherty AWB
    Salah KDB Mahrez Bruno Pulisic
    Jimenez Greenwood
    Bench: DCL, Kiko, Simpson

    Pulisic is the obvious issue here but not totally against playing him.

    A) Play Pulisic and have 2 free transfers for the final week in order to get the right City assets
    B) Pulisic > David Silva. He will clearly play GW38 but can we trust him to play 37 as well? (Do we think he plays FA cup?)
    C) Pulisic > Foden. Same as above. Thoughts on minutes?
    D) Kiko > Burnley defender and bench Pulisic. Gut says this is a boring move and a waste and the game is always more fun cheering for goals than clean sheets.

    Gut says A but would be good to get some thoughts!

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

      I’m considering a combo of B and D but going William to D. Silva.

    2. mr messi
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I would play Pulisic and have 2 transfers for next week.

  4. ididnt
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    captain Martial or Bruno?

    1. ZeBestee
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Martial just

  5. Ajaxeeding
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Repost: A, B or C:
    A) Salah, William and Lacelles to Sterling, Mahrez and Bardsley (for -4).
    B) Salah, William and Lacelles to Sterling, D. Silva and Saiss (for -4).
    C) William and Lacelles to D. Silva and Saiss (for free).

    Any advice much appreciated!

    Current team with 0.8 ITB with 2 FTs

  7. Pique and De Bruyne
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on this please, team, bench/order and cap choice look about right?

    Pope
    VVD / Tarkowski / Lamptey
    Salah(c) / Martial / Mahrez / Foden
    Auba(vc) / Rashford / Jesus

    Schmeichel / Saka / Aurier / Justin

  8. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Auba cap anyone?

    1. ZeBestee
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Inconsistent

  9. Fiona B
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Any Vardy captainers here?

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Just sold for a hit. He did look good last game tho so I won't put you off.

    2. Ajaxeeding
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Not for me. But I am keeping him in my team for this week

  10. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Good to go?

    Pope
    TAA Doherty Pieters
    Salah(VC) KDB Fernandes Martial(C)
    Jesus Vardy Greenwood

    (Foden Holgate Taylor*)
    2ITB 0FT, no chips left

    1. mr messi
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Are you not tempted by Ings? Can't decide if I should get him for Greenwood.

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Would rather go for Wood tbh

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

    Who scores more this week alone between Salah and Sterling? (Not for Cap)

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

      I wish we knew :p

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

        I wanna say sterling because i have him

    2. antis0cial
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Sterling if he starts. Big if though.

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 17 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        I pray for Sterling

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

    Bruno, Martial or Ings for C?

    1. Werner Bremen
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I'm going with Martial

    2. antis0cial
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Martial

  13. Better Call Raul
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    A) Dawson -> Tarkowski and have zero fit defenders on the bench
    B) Lascelles -> Pieters and have Dawson as backup

    Leaning towards gambling A) as Watford have 2 tough fixtures.

    Defence for gw37 and 38 would be TAA-Doherty-Tarkowski

  14. Magic Box
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Set on TC this week and BB next.

    Who gets the nod?
    A) Sterling (TC) vs wat
    B) Bruno (TC) vs WHU

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

      Sterling more exciting option

      1. 272MK
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        And man you are gonna cry so hard if he gets 1 pts (coming off the bench)

        Fernandes is better. Whether he starts or don't play at all right

  15. theBoose
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Start TAA or Pulisic?

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

      Taa

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

      Pulley

    3. Magic Box
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Pulisic

    4. antis0cial
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      TAA

    5. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      TAA for me

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

        Play both and bench Greenwood?

  16. SpaceCadet
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Cap Bruno or rashford?

    1. Kroneek
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Probably Rash

  17. 272MK
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Chasing ML leader. 11 pts behind. He has Martial

    Willian --> Salah (or others)
    Or
    Willian AWB --> (Tarskowski Martial) -4 hit

    Playing BB now. FH

    1. 272MK
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Next GW. BB seems good. Might be able to overtake just with BB

  29. Geezer
    • 15 Years

    FH next week. 1FT, 0,0 m itb and have no idea what to do. So please help.

    Pope
    TAA Saiss Boly
    KDB Salah Bruno Martial
    Greenwood Jesus Ings
    Martin Foden Holgate Lascelles

    I could do Lascelles to Pieters but don’t want to play Pieters over wolves. Use a FT for a bench player is boring But I can’t just burn the transfer.

  30. Jdpz
    • 6 Years

    1. Stupendous

      1. Jdpz
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Play him or Lascelles?
