FFS MEMBERS CUP
There’ll be a new name on the FFS Members Cup trophy this season after our one remaining former champion, rrcmc, was knocked out at the weekend. It was an unfortunate exit, however: a Gameweek 16 total of 75 points was one of our highest losing scores of round two. donnellyc, a one-time winner of our FFS Open Cup, was the victor in that tie.
Quinnie211‘s ascent in the overall ranks continued with a score of 79 points, which was enough to lift them to 64th in the world while seeing off The Hope That Kills in their second-round tie.
Another manager inside the top 500, Minostat, bowed out after a 70-57 defeat to npch but 677th-placed ZIKOFLY saw off wayne50 to progress.
Lillepull‘s score of 95 points was the best of round two and enough to beat our very own Pro Pundit, Zophar.
The full results from round two are here.
FFS OPEN CUP
Our three remaining champions, donnellyc, TH14 and 2EyedTurk, all made it through to the fourth round after defeating 1 Goal Conceded, Ryyuuu and Mike in Gameweek 16.
All three of our past winners will be facing managers with better ranks than them in round five in the shape of Immortals38, kevl77 and GreenWindmill.
The aforementioned Quinnie (64th) and elfortu (108th) both had yet another excellent Gameweek to move up the ranks and progress to round four, but another manager having a stellar season, DonieFPL (439th), bowed out after a 77-60 defeat to The StrongSide.
Not content with being the top-scoring manager in our FFS Members Cup, Lillepull repeated the trick in our FFS Open Cup and moved inside the top 5k.
The full round three results can be viewed here.
The fourth-round draw is available here.
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.
