Lokomotiv and Leon Harris are still flying the flag for the former winners of this competition.

The appropriately named the special one amassed the biggest score of Gameweek 27, defeating Archie Kendall by 119-71.
Munchen KfC can count themselves unfortunate to bow out, with their score of 90 – which was 12 more than the average tie winner posted – not enough to see off Pessi Pete, who managed two points more.
Golden Gelhaars meanwhile progressed despite scoring just 48, which was still enough to eliminate arun777akj.
The Fighting Cock is our best-performing remaining entrant, sitting at 307th in the world.
Our only other round three participant who has a top 1k overall rank is EJAAZ11, who lies 539th in the world.

GivetNgog‘s 51 was the lowest winning score of the round and enough to see off COSTALOT by four points.

The aforementioned EJAAZ11 is still fighting on two fronts having made it through to round two of the FFS Members Cup.
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.
