FFS Cup

The latest FFS Cup fixtures and results

Qualifying for our FFS Members Cup competition took place in Gameweek 26, as did the first round proper of our FFS Open Cup.

Fantasy managers who registered their teams and scored more than 79 points (after hits) qualified for round one of our FFS Members Cup automatically, while those who scored exactly that only progressed if their overall rank was 519,858th or better.

Four of our former winners also submitted entry forms and were handed a bye to the first round. They were: waltzingmatildas, Malaikat Jahad, Pep Pig and rrcmc.

A total of £300-worth of prizes are on offer as usual in this tournament, with a full breakdown towards the bottom of this article.

Due to the tight turnaround between deadlines, we are unable to bring you much analysis of the respective results and draws – we’ll be back with a regular round-up after Gameweek 27.

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.

    3. Rog.

    4. Saosin
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Maybe. You don't need Raph in BGW 29?

      1. Ruinenlust
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I need Son too

    5. acidicleo
      • 8 Years

      You don't have a Salah or Bruno to sell?

  2. hawkeyes

    Is this week the best week for triple captain?

    Or are there better upcoming fixtures?

    1. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Spurs should have a dgw

    2. Ron_Swanson
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Probably is.

  3. Pukki Party
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Those getting KDB, who are you selling?

    1. Ron_Swanson
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Mo

    2. ‘Tis the Season
      • 5 Years

      Bruno sold

  4. FPL ElasticO
    • 9 Years

    Will you do these transfers for free?

    Shaw & DCL >> Maitland-Niles / Antonio & bench Watkins

    1. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years

      No

  5. Obamawang
    • 5 Years

    I'm a bit stuck with my defence this week.

    Should I:

    (a) play Dinge (v Chelsea);
    (b) play Tarkowski; or
    (c) Tark to Reguilon for a -4?

    Thanks.

  7. Bobby_Baggio
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Morning all. Anything worth a -4?

    McCarthy
    Stones - Coufal - Dias
    Gundo - Bruno - Salah - Raphinha
    Kane - DCL - Bamford

    (Martinez) - Mee - Alioski - H.Barnes

    1. Ron_Swanson
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Salah to KdB

      1. Saosin
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Then he need to take -8 and that's not worth it imo.

      2. Bobby_Baggio
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Got 3 city

      3. Tinkermania
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        One is playing Fulham. The other is playing UTD and getting a rest on Wednesday. I will choose the one facing Fulham.

    2. tom2224
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      McCarthy not no.1 anymore is he not?

      1. Rassi
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        We don't know yet.

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

    Start Martinez or McCarthy? Currently on Martinez

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Martinez by a country mile

    2. Rog.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I’m on Martinez too and have both

      1. chaser123
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Because of higher expected points? Or cuz you don’t think McCarthy will play?

        1. lankdog
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          My personal opinion as a Saints fan is that McCarthy will start (Forster looked a little bit shakey last week, and Hassenhuttl said something about the start just being due to Fraser needing games ahead of the upcoming cup game(s), which makes me think he's not necessarily 1st choice) - but even so Martinez still prob the better choice

    3. chaser123
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I’m torn on this too...DGW is very tempting

  9. Peter Ouch
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Best Fulham defender???

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Aina

      1. Peter Ouch
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Why didn't he play full 90 mins in the last two?

    2. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Areola

      1. Peter Ouch
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I am on a WC.
        Defender, not GK

    3. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Not much between them Adarabioyo

  10. Kaptenen
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    A bit of a benching headache, which two would you start?

    Bamford or Watkins

    Rudiger or Konsa

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Bamford Rudiger

      1. MOTHRA
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        That

  11. Erez Avni
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    pick one

    A. Dias
    B. Cancelo

    Bottomed last page....

    Planning WC in GW30/31, taking fixtures into account until the end of the season would you guys mind rating this team? Also have BB available so want to have a decent bench for when the time comes.

    Mendy/Forster
    Rudiger/Cancelo/Saiss/Pereira/Reguilon
    KDB/Mount/Gundo/Neto/Jota
    Kane/Vardy/Antonio

    1. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Is that team for this week or the one you want to WC to?

      1. tommo-uk-
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        It’s the one I want to WC too from 30/31 onwards mate.

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I’d avoid Wolves defence.
      Needs Bruno.
      Raph over Neto.
      Wouldn’t pick Vardy

      6/10

      1. tommo-uk-
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Even from 30/31 onwards? Wolves have great fixtures up to GW35 so really tempted by them.

        I’m a United fan and I worry about our run in, some tough games and can’t see Bruno hauling much, therefore wanted to use the money elsewhere.

        As with Wolves, Leicester have some solid fixtures from 32-35 and battling for top 4.

        Appreciate the response mate.

    3. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Not sure if this is your current team or WC draft?

      1. tommo-uk-
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Sorry mate that’s the team I am looking to wildcard too.

  13. Stormbringer22
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Play one:

    A. Bamford
    B. Raphina

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      B

      1. Stormbringer22
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers Rafa, GL mate

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Why not both mate?

      1. Stormbringer22
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Mate, have Kane, Antonio, Son, Salah, Gundo, Bruno, Raph, Bam.... 😀 One needs benching haha

        1. RAFA THE GAFFA
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Jesus! Bam then I guess. He’s on pens though in a very attacking team. I don’t think there is an easy answer here though

          1. Stormbringer22
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Cheers Rafa, pens kind of swing it for me in favour of Bam over Raphina. You made a good point about the pens

            1. RAFA THE GAFFA
              • 8 Years
              3 years, 2 months ago

              It’s a horrible decision as Raph is in great form. Flip a coin or just go with your gut. I think they’ll both score points

  14. Forgetmeknot
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Am I the only one with triple soton this week? Terrible idea I know 😀

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Who?

      1. Forgetmeknot
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Vest, ward prowse and ings on BB

        1. RAFA THE GAFFA
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Interesting. GL

          1. Forgetmeknot
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Ta you too

    2. PL Ball
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Who knows.. returns vs SHU + appearance points v City. Could happen.

    3. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Not if they score well. Good differential.

  15. Van der Faart

    Foden to who? Need to sell to make room for KDB

    A) Saka
    B) Tielmans
    C) Soucek (already got Lingard)
    D) someone else max 6.6

    1. Boly Would
      • 7 Years

      A

    2. MOTHRA

      D. Jota

  16. JonSnow
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Advice please, ML rival has kane and no bruno!

    Martinez / Pope (1FT)
    Mee / Robertson / Stones / Maguire / Dias
    Salah / Gundo(C) / Fernandes / Son / Raph
    Bamford / DCL / Antonio

    A) Fern + DCL > Kane + Lingard (-4)
    B) roll the transfer

    1. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Can probably roll FT this week and get away ok

  17. Nespinha
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Bench one

    Watkins
    Rudiger
    Bamford
    DCL

    1. Dee Lixon
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      DCL

  18. Dee Lixon
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Went WC in despair after last GW. Not the best move probably but here we are...

    Very grateful for any advice on this bunch:

    Martinez (Forster)
    Dias, Rudiger, Coufal (Dallas, Dunk)
    KDB, Sterling, Son, Lingard (Raphinha)
    Kane, Antonio, Bamford

    Means 10 for GW 29. I know Gundo prbl should be in there but have just think KDB's return will impact him quite a bit.

    Cheers!

  19. tinear
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Gundo
    Kane

    Who to cap?

    1. tommo-uk-
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I’m going Gundo just because of DGW.

      1. tinear
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Me too. Only worry about gametime now.

  20. MaRooney 5
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    DCL to Antonio for -4?

    1. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I did it as part of a -8 even

    2. MOTHRA
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Y

  21. Drexl Spivey
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Anywhere worth a hit?

    Martínez
    Cancelo - Stones - Konsa
    Salah - Son - Gündogan (v) - Lingard - Raphinha
    Kane (c) - Vardy

    (Fabri - DCL - Dallas - White)

    Reluctant to even buy Antonio now since deciding to captain Kane.

    1. Drexl Spivey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      £1.6m itb.

  22. Slitherene
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Gundogan, Son, Kane, Ings

    Captain?

  23. Peekay
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    No love for Sterling for the double?

    1. Tinkermania
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      For those of us who still have him. I will captain despite the risk of playing only 90 mins. Worth it.

      1. Peekay
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I own him too. Considering selling for Son. Good move??

        1. Jusagoras
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Definitely keep for this week

    2. Jusagoras
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Would require too many transfers to get in and (probably) out

  24. Fiorentina
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    G2G? Rolling transfer...

    McCarthy
    Stones Cancelo Cresswell
    Bruno Salah Gundo (C) Son
    Richarlison Watkins Bamford

    Areola Konsa Dallas Barnes

  25. Jebiga
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Play:

    1. Bruno
    2. Rapinha

    Transfer out Maguire to:

    A: Konsa on bench (have Targett also)
    B: Dallas on bench(have Rapinha also)
    C: Save FT

  26. WD27
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Too soon for Jota or worth a punt ..

    1. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Good punt i think

    2. MOTHRA
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I did. Salah -> Jota. LFC need to act up front. Jota is only option. Also enabled me to bring in Kane for DCL.

  27. Garfield1001
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Play one:

    Dallas
    Digne
    Coufal

    Thanks!

    What triple captain double gameweek options are possibilities between now and the rest of the season?

  29. michaelington
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Bamford to Antonio for free?

    Have Watkins and Kane.

    1. Jebiga
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      nope, Lingard

  30. Salah_Fingers
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Gtg? 1ft - Was tempted by DCL to Antonio but can't see who to bench if I did

    Martinez
    Cancelo - Stones - Coufal
    Bruno - Son - Salah - Gundo - Raph
    Bamford - Kane

    (Forster - DCL - Struijk - mee)

    1. Cowboy John
      • 11 Years

      GTG. Who's your captain?

      1. Salah_Fingers
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks, it's on gundo currently
