FFS Cup

The latest FFS Cup fixtures and results

We’ve reached the last-32 stage in our FFS Open Cup and FFS Members Cup after the latest rounds of both competitions played out in Gameweek 30.

There are £300-worth of prizes up for grabs in each tournament, with the Gameweek 35 finale drawing ever closer.

FFS OPEN CUP

The results from the fifth round of our FFS Open Cup can be viewed here.

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


The two highest-ranked managers of round five bowed out of the competition.

The Fighting Cock sits at an impressive 626th in the world but after squeaking through in a fourth-round tie-breaker thanks to his lofty rank, his run in this year’s tournament has come to an end.

stonerrocks was the victor over the high-flying Spurs fan, prevailing 63-52.

ZeleniMD sat just outside the top 1k going into Gameweek 30, meanwhile, but was edged out by ronaldez, who is now the lowest-ranked manager left in our FFS Open Cup following exits from Wulfrunian and the Chaser.

Six managers who currently lie in the top 10k have made it through to round six, with kenzo. – who sits in 3,357th place – boasting the best rank among them.

Goldtop73‘s Gameweek 30 score of 75 was the best of the fifth round, while pk all stars can consider himself the ‘unluckiest’ manager of the last 64 as he was defeated by RobinHuth despite racking up an impressive 69 points.

FFS MEMBERS CUP

The results from the fourth round of our FFS Members Cup can be viewed here.

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


Mr. Rabbit had a super Gameweek 30, as his score of 74 was not only enough to beat G00Li0 but also the joint-best of the FFS Members Cup fourth round.

The cherry on the icing is that Mr. Rabbit is now the highest-ranked manager left in round five after climbing to 1,416th in the world.

Armaan.ag was the erstwhile highest flyer in this competition but despite losing that tag, he still made it through to the last 32 after a 64-61 win over Whitty.

There was a hard-luck story involving KevIRL, whose commendable Gameweek 30 score of 71 was bettered by few other managers in the fourth round.

Unfortunately for him, opponent Mohd Rodzi – who next faces the aforementioned Mr. Rabbit – matched that score and progressed by virtue of having a better rank.


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.

  1. Bucket Man
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 18 days ago

    Gundo to Lingard next week. Watkins and Rapha to
    A) Iheanacho and Neto
    B) Vydra and Jota

    Martinez
    Dias, Shaw, Rudiger
    Salah, Bruno, Mount, Gundo
    Kane, Bamford, Watkins
    Areola, Rapha, Cresswell, Dallas

    1. Werner Bremen
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 17 days ago

      Watkins has a DGW soon, wouldn't get reed so soon

      1. Bucket Man
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 17 days ago

        Yes. But is it worth holding for all the weeks in between when he and Villa haven’t been firing. Tough one

    2. Il Capitano
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 17 days ago

      Tough one, can't really argue against the fixtures for Leicester and Wolves leaning me toward A. With Salah already, maybe you can bring Jota in for Mount in 33?

      1. Bucket Man
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 17 days ago

        Could do. I’m not sure what to do with Gundogan either, but seems wise to keep this week. Think I will FH 33

        1. Il Capitano
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 17 days ago

          Think it makes sense to hold Gundo this week. FH in the bank will be nice for 33, but looks like you can put out a decent side in 33 with only ~2 blanks after planned transfers. Keep an ear out for the DGW35 rumblings, might be able to get more out of the chip that week possibly?

          1. Bucket Man
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 17 days ago

            Thank you for your help. Edging to Neto and Ihenacho like you say I already have Salah and Wolves and Leicester have some good games coming up. Best of luck!

            1. Il Capitano
              • 3 Years
              3 years, 17 days ago

              Good luck to you too!

  2. Moxon
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 18 days ago

    Is there any space for fodder in the current time or are you aiming to have a full playing bench?

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 18 days ago

      As always, 3 fodders, one backup.

    2. Well you know, Triffic
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 18 days ago

      If you have bench boost then probably worth having a full squad. Not as hard as it seems with Forster, Phillips etc

    3. MARVELLUS
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 17 days ago

      On WC and have one fodder (Smith Rowe). Rest play, but am including Philips, Holding and Kelechi in that.

    4. Brehmeren
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 17 days ago

      Depends on the players in your starting 11. If they include Man City or Chelsea you need to have a playing bench.

  3. b91jh
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 18 days ago

    Another no Son WC draft. Hoping those nice 32 fixtures could cover it. Thoughts?

    Mendy Forster
    TAA Castagne Cresswell Coady Rudiger
    Salah Bruno Jota Lingard Maddison
    Kane Iheanacho Wood

    GW31: bench Cresswell, Castagne and Maddison
    GW32: bench Wood, Rudiger and Coady

    1. Christina.
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 18 days ago

      so you reckon Nacho is better than Maddi?
      😕

      1. b91jh
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 18 days ago

        Emmm tricky one, a in-form Iheanacho vs a better player but not 100% in-form Maddison...

        1. Christina.
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 18 days ago

          Dont think Nacho is nailed now that Maddi is back

    2. b91jh
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 18 days ago

      Options are open with the TAA+Maddison+Wood slots. Could become:

      A) Phillips+Son+Wood
      B) Phillips+Neto+Vardy
      C) TAA+Son+Davis

  4. Il Capitano
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 18 days ago

    1 FT - 6.6m ITB - Only TC remaining

    Martinez
    Stones Azpi Digne
    Bruno Gundo Lingard ESR Raphinha
    Kane DCL

    Fabri - Bamford Cresswell Targett

    Raph to Jota this week, then Gundo to Son next week seem reasonable?

    1. Bucket Man
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 18 days ago

      Looks nice.

  5. Stewarts11
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 18 days ago

    will amartey keep playing or is someone nearly back from injury?

    1. Il Capitano
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 17 days ago

      Think he was covering for Soyuncu who might be back this weekend I believe

    2. lets talk about 6
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 17 days ago

      soy will be back

  6. George James
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 18 days ago

    Best move for this lot
    1FT 4.2m ITB

    Ederson
    Lowton / Dunk / Shaw
    Son / Gundo / Bruno / Lingard / Raph
    Kane / DCL

    Areola / Bamford / Targett / Dallas

    A) Bamford >> Jesus / Vardy

    B) Raphina >> Jota

    C) something else

    1. Bucket Man
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 17 days ago

      B

    2. Il Capitano
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 17 days ago

      B for me, will let Bamf ride the bench until that nice run of fixtures at the end as no replacements really standing out

  7. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 17 days ago

    Probably has been asked, which LIV combo would you prefer?
    A. Jota TAA
    B. Salah Phillips

    B is favorable for captaincy option but thinking about viability of Jota [C]

    1. lets talk about 6
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 17 days ago

      a

  8. HD7
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 17 days ago

    WC 31 managers,

    Are you getting someone from City only for this Gw
    Sterling is a short term punt as he is likely to play this week?

    1. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 17 days ago

      zero interest in sterling
      we've been here before and would only keep short term anyway
      as usual, picking their lineup is always the mystery

  9. Stranger Mings
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 17 days ago

    Any love for Alonso over shaw on WC?

    1. lets talk about 6
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 17 days ago

      neither

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 17 days ago

        Who are you going for instead?

  10. Alli In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 17 days ago

    There are a lot of WC teams with Rudiger. I have him too. He seemed to be holding his hamstring and limping in the last minute last night, though it may have just been cramp. Does anyone know if Tuchel said anything about this afterwards? Anyone else worried about this? I don't see anyone talking about it so maybe I missed something.

    1. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 17 days ago

      nothing reported on it, wait till the friday conference

      1. Alli In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 17 days ago

        Thanks!

    2. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 17 days ago

      It was cramp

      1. Alli In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 17 days ago

        Thanks. Is that from what you observed, or did he/Tuchel say that afterwards?

  11. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 17 days ago

    Maddison it is. Stones + Lewis + KDB to TAA + Coady + Maddison for -4. Right moves?

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 17 days ago

      Looks good still don't like Coady, just personal preference

  12. shiraz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years

    How does this wc look? Thanks
    Mendy

    1. Big Hands Barry
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 17 days ago

      Other than Vardy over Son it's template. Good to go!

    2. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 17 days ago

      i'm also dropping son, going just Kane
      originally earmarked Vardy but he's not had much impact for a while now, better value elsewhere

    3. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 17 days ago

      Looks good. I've also got a no-Son draft and quite like it!

  13. fpork
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 17 days ago

    Best sub 7.0 million forward excluding Iheanacho?

    1. Big Hands Barry
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 17 days ago

      Davis 4.2

      1. b91jh
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 17 days ago

        Wood if you could bench him in 32.

  14. Werner Bremen
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 17 days ago

    Play Son or Watkins?

  15. Werner Bremen
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 17 days ago

    Play Areola or Martinez?

    1. Brehmeren
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 17 days ago

      Areola

  16. leocarter27
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 17 days ago

    Thoughts on this WC draft please?

    Mendy / Forster

    Rudiger Coady Dias / Phillips Fofana

    Salah Jota Lingard Fernandes Son

    Kane Iheanacho / Bamford

    Thanks

    1. lets talk about 6
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 17 days ago

      lose dias get taa somehow. maybe vdra for bamford

    2. MARVELLUS
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 17 days ago

      Similar to mine, I have Vardy/ESR/Holding compared to your Bamford/Lingard/Rudiger. Looks good, Bamford prob ain't great but could score any week.

    3. Werner Bremen
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 17 days ago

      Watkins instead of Bamford. He has the DGW coming

  17. MIGHTY JOE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 17 days ago

    WC ACTIVATED - best draft?

    Draft 1:
    Martinez/Forster
    TAA* Dias* Coady Coufal* Shaw
    Bruno Son Mount* Jota Lingard
    Kane DCL Wood

    Draft 2:
    Martinez/Forster
    Rudiger Phillips Coady Shaw 4.4
    Bruno Son Salah Jota Lingard
    Kane DCL Wood

    Leaning towards draft 2. Open for any feedback! I'm chasing so need a punt like Wood.

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 17 days ago

      B i am sure you will find better value than DCL to maybe get TAA in?

      1. MIGHTY JOE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 17 days ago

        Would be lovely, but having a hard time finding the funds... Will puzzle a bit more. Cheers!

        1. Crunchie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 17 days ago

          Even if it is Davis Fodder, will get Taa over Philips and your bench would be still strong enough to cope (Like Holding for Arsenal for example)

    2. Big Hands Barry
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 17 days ago

      2

  18. HD7
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 17 days ago

    Is TAA worth the place in the WC teams?

    He may get attacking points but I dont rate Liverpool to get a lot of cleanies?
    Maybe its better Phillips for the 3rd slot and upgrade Nacho to Vardy?

    1. MIGHTY JOE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 17 days ago

      Without knowing anything more about your team, I think yes

      1. MIGHTY JOE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 17 days ago

        (to the first question)

    2. b91jh
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 17 days ago

      Not really sure whether Nacho to Vardy is an upgrade..

      1. Crunchie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 17 days ago

        Only nailedness

    3. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 17 days ago

      I think Trent is worth it. Our defensive stats are improving significantly and we have the fixtures and now he'll have even more reason to get involved with goals as we need to be winning games.

  19. GROBARI
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 17 days ago

    Thoughts on my WC,i think this is my final selection.
    £0.6m itb,have BB for GW32,have my plans for future moves
    GW32:Sterling>Son
    GW33:Laca,Son>Antonio(if fit),Salah
    Team:
    Mendy Forster
    TAA Coady Rudi Coufal Shaw
    Bruno Jota Neto Lingz Sterling
    Laca Kane Nacho
    Thank you all

    1. MIGHTY JOE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 17 days ago

      Like it

    2. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 17 days ago

      can't condone the sterling pick after being burnt earlier
      who will you bench if Nacho is a continual play?

  20. tommo-uk-
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 17 days ago

    Wildcard Active, currently sat with this team.

    Mendy - Forster
    Coufal - Phillips - Rudiger - Shaw - Coady
    Bruno - Salah - Jota - Lingard - Neto
    Kane - Laca - Nacho

    Want to bring in Son for the DGW, so may need to sacrifice Bruno...

    Thoughts?

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 17 days ago

      Sacrifice Laca to fodder and Neto to Son

    2. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 17 days ago

      dont love the defence but think you've got good attackers
      based purely on rank and going against the high EO, i'll just have Kane from Spurs

  21. Silecro
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 17 days ago

    Anyone going with Kane captain? Strongly considering it, personally i always go with the captain easier fixture but this gw i dont have Pool players and Gundo is far from nailed to start, i have these options to consider:

    A) Kane
    B) Bruno
    C) Lingard
    D) Vardy

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 17 days ago

      This week it is Salah over Bruno and Kane. At last a difficult Captains call 🙂

  22. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 17 days ago

    Which combo on WC
    A) Vardy+Phillips+Coufal
    B) Iheanacho+TAA+Fofana/Castagne

    Other defenders would be Rudiger,Shaw and Holding and I'll play 3 at the back most of the weeks

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 17 days ago

      I still like B

  23. b91jh
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 17 days ago

    Got Cresswell 5.1 and find it difficult to drop in WC... has been a legend this season.

    1. b91jh
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 17 days ago

      At 5.1*

      1. Crunchie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 17 days ago

        Depends if you think how many points he will get with Rice out?

  24. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 17 days ago

    Vydra or aston villa Davis as bench player considering gw33 ?

  25. Crunchie

    hey everyone

    current WC

    Mendy (Forster)
    Rudiger, Shaw, XXX, XXX, Holding
    Salah, Bruno, Jota, Son, XXX
    Kane. Ineanacho, XXX

    A. My original plan before Monday.. TAA, Fodder (4.2), Antonio, Lingard (which was my original plan before Monday)
    B. TAA, Dias, Maddison, Vydra

    A or B?

    A: Trent - Phillips - Dias - Rudiger - Holding
    B: Azpilcueta - Dias - Castagne - Phillips - Coady

    Mendy in goal

    1. Wayne Enterprises
      • 11 Years

      A probably

    2. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 17 days ago

      I'd want Trent but I wouldn't want a LIV def double up ....

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years

        1. Don Kloppeone
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 17 days ago

          I know but i don’t think we’ll be immune from leaking the odd goal so a double up will hurt more

      Interested to know whom are you not including among Son, Salah, Bruno, Jota.

      Anyway I'll go for Greenwood, Lingard and Robbo.

    Looking like we won't get the Son and/or Veltman price drops before deadline :/

      Son is like the KDB debacle before - doesn't matter how low it looks ..... he will go when they want him to!

    Forster's place in doubt now that he has conceded 2 to Burnley and 2 to Brighton? Has he been poor or just the defence? cheers

      It's the defence.. He had a great game.
