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.

DRAWS AND RESULTS

The full draw for the second round of our FFS Open Cup can be viewed here.

The full draw for the first round of our FFS Members Cup can be viewed here.

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.

    Any idea guys of what to do with 1ft and 0.5 itb ?

    Martinez
    Cancelo Dias Shaw
    Salah Bruno Son Gundogan
    DCL Kane Watkins

    Button Coufal Fodder Fodder

    1. Baron Penguin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I’ve given up on DCL and the seemingly unlikely DGW 28 and moved him out for Antonio.

  2. corderz

    Play one:

    A) Martinez (Wolves H)
    B) Johnstone (New H)

    1) Bamford
    2) Raphinha

    Bruno and Pereira -> Auba and Alder (-4) In preperation for gw29. Who is the most nailed at Spurs back 4?

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

    I’m going to help Bruno owners by benching him. Last six matches against the ‘big six’ Man Utd haven’t scored and I have double Man City defence. What could possibly go wrong????

    1. Nolberto Solano
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      All the stats point to a Bruno blank this week

  5. chaser123

    Bruno to Bale : Yay or Nay?

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yes

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

        I’m considering Bruno -> Auba. Not sure about Bale just yet

        1. The 12th Man
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          just made that move myself.

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

            I need to downgrade Pereira or Digne to a Spurs def to afford it. Who would you pick?

    2. Nolberto Solano
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Bale risky if you are banking on him to play in the bgw29

  6. Weak Become Heros
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Kane C locked in.

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

      KdB here. I know the risk, buts its KdB and its a dgw

      1. Weak Become Heros
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Yep. I have Gundo Cancelo Dias, I just cant trust that they get the full DGW.

        United game i think will be dull maybe 0-0. Soton could be anything though.

        1. St Pauli Walnuts
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Gundo rested last game, not rotated that much anyway so stands a pretty good chance of starting both.

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

        I'm bringing him in too for a hit and captaining. Would makes sense that he plays both and then if needed rested against Fulham before CL game.

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

      Ederson (c) here. Not sure I’ve ever captained a GK before

  7. timawflowers
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    watkins or antonio?

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Ant

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

      Antonio for me

  8. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Should I save here? Basically no bench.

    Martinez
    Diaz,Cancelo,Coufal
    Salah,Son,Bruno,Gundo(C)
    Antonio,DCL,Bamford

    4.0, Mitchell*,Barnes*,KWP

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

      Save.

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

      Itb? Would get at least one playing on the bench.

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

      kwp to konsa

      1. Jebiga
        • 12 Years

        but after dgw 🙂

    4. F_Ivanovic
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      barnes to raphina looks a no brainer

  9. Shultan
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Thoughts on bruno & DCL to Son & antonio

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Nice

  10. Corgz Dark side of the Loon

    Morning guys. Some help please.
    Play one.
    A, Maguire (A) City.
    B, Lowton. (H) Arse
    C, Dallas. (A) WHU.

    I am currently on Lowton, as I can see Burnley 9 man defence for the 1pt

  11. The_FF_King
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Thinking about Salah to KDB for free. But think I’m gonna stick and save a transfer for next week?

    KDB could be rested in one of the games, and Liverpool/Salah misery has to end soon right?

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

      Despite Liverpool's run lately, Salah's stats are impressive. Probably worth holding.

  12. estheblessed
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    I hit the wild card button!!!

    How does this look? Any changes you would personally make??

    Martinez
    Rudiger, Dias, Cresswell
    KDB(c), Gundo, Son, Salah, Lingard
    Kane, Antonio

    Johnstone, Konsa, Veltman, Brewster

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Would try to make a stronger bench.

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

    I'm a little confused. I can see my tie for the FFS cup but it doesn't appear I'm in the members cup round despite reaching the qualifying score. Did you have to register for this seperate?

    1. Baron Penguin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yes

      1. DeadStarComing
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        "Fantasy managers who registered their teams and scored more than 79 points (after hits) qualified for round one of our FFS Members Cup automatically"

        I took the above as I would be entered? Oh well.

        1. St Pauli Walnuts
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          You had to register for them both separately, if you only registered for the open one you won't be in the members one.

          1. DeadStarComing
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Ah damn, ok. I didn't realise there was 2 entry forms. The line i've copied and pasted above is a little misleading then.

  14. The Senate

    (A) Barnes to JWP, bench DCL
    (B) Barnes to Lingard, bench DCL

      1. DMP
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Changed to Dallas, because of the higher goal threat.

    City clean sheets with Stones = 12/15 games (80%)
    City clean sheets without Stones = 1/4 games (25%)

    Machine.

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

      I think City’s cleansheets count is thinning as Pep’s rotation increases

      They’re still not conceding many, but only have 2 cleansheets in the last 6 compared to 11 cleansheets in the prior 13

      With 3 cup competitions, 2 blanks, and no doubles in the last 10 GW’s - I’m not sure I’d expect a big uptick in that department tbh

  23. FFFoxy

    Then team is
    Lloris
    Reguilon - dias - Robertson

    Do we think McCarthy is definitely dropped ?

      Yep

  29. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Guys, would you transfer out Watkins to bring in Antonio ??

    1. Baron Penguin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Depends on your BGW 29 plan. Seems not worth it unless you are FH 29.

  30. Baron Penguin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Captain Cancelo one risk too many?? Or just play ‘safe’ with Gundo. Or Kane/Son? Aaaaaarrrrgghhh.
