FFS Cup

The latest FFS Cup fixtures and results

The latest rounds of our FFS Open Cup and FFS Members Cup competitions will take place in Gameweek 19.

There’s a total of £600-worth of prizes on offer across the two tournaments, with a full breakdown towards the bottom of this article.

Here, we’ll look at the previous results from Gameweek 18 and the draw for the round that starts on Sunday.

FFS MEMBERS CUP

There were wins for several managers who are currently in the top 1k overall: Minority Laporte, ZIKOFLY and I Member.

The latter had a big clash with Geirrard who – himself ranked at 1,704 – was very unlucky to face such a strong opponent when his score of 67 would have defeated 21 of the 32 winners. The week’s highest score belonged to the lowest-ranked progressor, as Notlob Legin (592,019th) secured a 78-51 victory over prichardson311.

Elsewhere, there were narrow wins for Congers, Mingo, Caospilot and Bantam Belles, as a 55-55 draw between HUGO1995 and TG04 was settled by the former’s higher global ranking.

Pro Pundit tedtalksfpl was eliminated by Batmaniac.

The full results from round four are here.

The fifth-round draw is here.

FFS OPEN CUP

The headline here is the elimination of former FFS Open Cup champion donnellyc, who lost 61-55 to a previously deleted ‘restored’ team – a nameless conqueror ranked below two million in the global FPL rankings.

I Member also progressed here, just like 101st-ranked elfortu. While Machine_Gunnerz was eliminated with 64 points, Andrey Blinov was successful with just 47.

The third and fifth-highest ranked remaining sides had to face off too. Jay_ (2,625th) ended up with a 66-49 win over noobpunter (3,281st) to secure a place in round six. High scores also saw progression for TwiggsJameson, Mullered in Maenam and AntyChosenOnes.

The full round five results can be viewed here.

The sixth-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.

    Is Jesus worth a gamble? (For Dennis)

    1. AW127
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I was thinking about selling him - minutes are a concern and I assume Foden and Grealish are back for this week.

    2. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I wouldn’t

    Salah, Raphinha and Jesus ---> Son, Martinelli and Ronaldo

    Is this a good hit to make?

    1. BUZZBOMB
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      60/40. I believe so. -8 is steep but landscape has changed. Im doing it for -4 Raph is Mount. Martinelli may rise tonight but wait if u can.

    1. BUZZBOMB
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Wife and I have been arguing Packie. Is/are Darts singular or plural?

  5. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 10 Years

  7. Burger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Take a 4pt hit to bring in Foden for Jota? Am down to 9 currently.

    1. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Will Foden play is the question?

      1. Burger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah that'll smart 😆

  8. waldo666
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Had planned McGinn to Martinelli, Jota to Martinelli now the better plan?

    1. Kane5
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Depends on how many numbers you have. I am holding Jota as will want him as soon as he is back

  9. MysticMac17
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    First FH draft? Thoughts ?

    Ramsdale
    Cancelo James Dalot
    Son Mahrez B.Silva Bowen Martinelli
    Kane Ronaldo

    Subs: Alonso, Williams, Simms

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Nice, make me feel better for my non-FH team. Got some of them.

    2. AW127
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Would prefer DCL/Lacazette to Mahrez

  10. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Ramsdale
    James Cancelo Dalot Targett
    Bernardo Foden ESR Salah*
    Antonio Watkins

    Raya* TAA* Jota* Hwang*

    Which option do you prefer?
    A. Salah > Son
    B. Salah > Martinelli, Hwang > Ronaldo (-4) bench Targett

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Probably A

    2. Kane5
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      A

  11. Gooner97
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    DDG (Bachmann)
    Alonso Cancelo Livra (Amartey, TAA)
    Silva Foden ESR (Jota, Salah)
    Watkins Broja (Dennis)

    1FT, 2.9ITB

    What would you do? Free Hit or not?

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Won't FH. Would you consider Dennis Salah > Ronaldo Bowen?

      1. Gooner97
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        I'd keep Salah till LEI, but can't see what else to do instead... maybe a playing defender instead of Amartey? Or a new striker?

        1. Magic Zico
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          I presume you want to keep TAA as well. Amartey > Dalot?

          1. Gooner97
            • 10 Years
            2 years, 4 months ago

            Would you pick Reguilon or Dalot?

            1. Magic Zico
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 5 Years
              2 years, 4 months ago

              Dalot if bench fodder. Reguilon if week in week out.

    2. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      If you're ok losing Salah, then no need to free hit. Salah to Son and then maybe a hit to get 11 playing (Dennis most likely candidate)

      1. Gooner97
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Wouldn't you sell Foden instead and also take a hit for a striker?

  12. Biggsy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    I think Salah to Son is probably the move this week. Which of these looks good to also bring Ronaldo in:

    A. Salah & Antonio to Son & Ronaldo.

    B. Salah, Dennis & Gallagher* to Son, Ronaldo & Ramsey (-4).

    *Or Silva or ESR

    A leaves me without a bench.

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I like A

  13. Ady87
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    What’s this FH news then? What’s official and where can I read about it?

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      On the FPL site.

  14. Digital-Real
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Foden will sit this one out again.

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      What about Bilva?

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      source ?

      1. Digital-Real
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        There is no source. Pep sending out a message.

    3. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Based on?

    4. Pino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Sell him and you will regret it, keep him and you will regret it. Sell him or keep him and you will regret it either way.

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Is this game called 'Regret mania'? 😛

  15. RWB_1991
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Was Watford game cancelled because of Wolves or Watford covid cases? Presumably whichever team it was will not be playing on 28th either?

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Watford. But they did say they expected to fulfil the West Ham fixture

    2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Watford

  16. Kane5
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Left with only 9 available players (please no more cancellations).

    A) Salah to Son and Dennis to CR7
    B) King to Broja and Dennis to CR7 (holding Salah)

    I feel like A is the obvious move but keen to hear other's thoughts 🙂

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I'd be all over A if I could do it without a third transfer.

  17. Ci Siamo
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    How likely is this Chelsea game going ahead?

    That is what really decides the free hit or not

    1. The White Pele
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      no one knows really.

  18. Flynny
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Hi.....would you free hit this team please? In addition to lpool question marks over Antonio foden and esr

    Ramsdale
    Cancelo James alonso (livra)
    Foden* bilva esr* (jota salah)
    Antonio* laca (king)

    Alternative is - 4 or - 8

    Wonder if u free hit now and navigate 22 with no free hit...thanks

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Would do -4, enough I think

  19. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    so 2nd wc available from gw20 or gw21 ?

    1. C0YS
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      After the Boxing Day fixtures

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        cheers

  20. C0YS
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Any point in playing FH now rather than during a BGW if I can have the following team of 10 for -4?

    DDG
    Cancelo James Alonso Reguilon (TAA)
    Son Bowen Gallagher Bilva (Jota)
    Watkins (King Dennis)

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      You'd need to compare it to your FH team draft.

      1. C0YS
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        DDG
        James Dias Cancelo Reguilon (Alonso)
        Sterling Son Bowen Mount (Fred)
        Ronaldo Maupay (Broja)

  21. AW127
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Everton trained with Pickford at CDM! Surely the game can't go ahead?
    If it did, is anyone interested in an attacking GK on freehit?

    1. AW127
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I'd love it if he actually played there to make a mockery of the Premier League. He'd be able to pass better than most!

  22. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Bowen/Ronaldo (-4)

    Or

    Son/Ronaldo/Diop (-8)

    Or

    Son/Ronaldo/Regulion/Tierney (-12)

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      First one

  23. The White Pele
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Ramsdale
    James Alonso Cancelo White
    Salah* Bilva Ødegaard
    Ronaldo Dennis* pukki

    Steele TAA Jota * 4.5*

    A) Salah to Son

  24. Damien Sartip-Zadeh
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Great article love it.
