The latest rounds of our FFS Open Cup and FFS Members Cup competitions will take place in Gameweek 22.
A reminder that these are the old-school cups that we run via our own site, rather than the ones you may see in the ‘Cups’ tab on your FPL team page.
A total of £300-worth of prizes are on offer as usual in each tournament, with a full breakdown towards the bottom of this article.

Highest-scoring was Yanti2, whose 96 points defeated the 75 of James Joseph, whilst Optimus found a way to progress despite a low 74. Unlucky eliminations came for Sultan Saeed and Ayew Being Served? on 82 and 83 points respectively.

Like above, no past champions are still involved and Plasticnancy overcame the challenge of Dazzler. Next up is Lionac, who drew with Fitzy but progressed due to a higher overall rank. This is also how MAZYRUN defeated fpl_dastan.
Elsewhere, panoslfc9 was lucky to squeeze past Yes Don with just 67 points – a lower score than 10 of the 16 eliminated teams.
In 3,079th place, Shiregeriatrics successfully overcame Pieman.
HOW DO THE CUP COMPETITIONS WORK?
The FFS Cup is very similar to the Fantasy Premier League’s own cup games.
Entrants who qualify for the second 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.
WHAT IS THE GAMEWEEK SCHEDULE?
Both these cup competitions will be played out according to the following proposed Gameweek schedule, though this could be subject to change.

Anyone been counting the defensive actions in the Manchester United v Leeds game? Cunha looks so out of place. Like a diamond in a river of crap.
»Also more punts, you can now take bigger risks short term and know if it doesn’t work out it’s not the end of the season It’s going to negatively impact those who are conservative and risk adverse but for those who like to have fun this is great
»How is it more fun though when the rest of the managers will also benefit from it? It's not like the new rule will only apply to you. It only increases the average pts score. Rank gains are only influenced by how many pts you get in comparison with everyone else. No good sitting there looking at your team on 100pts with loads of assists when everyone else has also scored 100pts plus and you are still on a red arrow!
»Exactly and they need to compete with other games -uefa, fifa, pauper week games It’s made me more excited for the new season, the same old game was getting boring
»I'm not against the industry that's grown around it. Except that most creators have the same recommendations. But that's because the stats do give the highest chance of success, the creators do tend to get high ranks. But where's the fun! Maybe FPL will charge for access to stats, maybe they already do - I don't know.
