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.

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.
