FFS Cup February 9

The latest results and draws for the FFS Cups

The quarter-finals of our FFS Open Cup and FFS Members Cup competitions will take place in Gameweek 23.

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.

FFS OPEN CUP

The full results from the sixth round can be viewed here

The full draw for the quarter-finals can be viewed here

All former winners are already out but Plasticnancy comfortably beat flavio 83-59. In a week where she dropped to 20th globally after not using the Triple Captain chip, she is the lowest-scoring victor and the score of 83 was actually bettered by four of the eight eliminated teams.

Optimus, in particular, will feel very unlucky to lose. A very decent 98 still wasn’t good enough versus the 116 of WEAK BECOME HEROS, who now faces Plasticnancy in the quarter-finals.

Meanwhile, The Cloud Watcher bagged 117 points, alongside fellow centurions being DLI and 5,069-ranked Colombo Geezers.

FFS MEMBERS CUP

The full results from the fifth round can be viewed here

The full draw for the quarter-finals can be viewed here

Like above, no past champions are still involved and Plasticnancy wasn’t able to pull off a second victory. She lost 106-83 to Lionac, one of three managers to record a triple-digit score and the highest-ranked remaining team after Shiregeriatrics was also eliminated.

The lowest-ranked quarter-finalist, Alcmckay, is 486,561st in the world but won a close 95-93 encounter with Yanti2.

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.

Both these cup competitions will be played out according to the following proposed Gameweek schedule, though this could be subject to change.

            i own Bruno - and dont own Saka - but am veering away from the original plan of going Bruno to Saka

            feel there will be more goals in Leeds return game and if Antony remains out, Bruno will dominate that right channel like he did last night (esp in the 2nd half).

      Any advice appreciated.

      A. Bruno to kdb free(I think he plays both games)

      B. Patterson and martinelli to odegaard and Ake -4. ( One eye on blank gw and also odegaard is nailed)

      C. Toney and martinelli to odegaard and mitro -4 ( One eye on blank gw and also odegaard is nailed)

      Will have to take a -4 in the next gameweeks to get to 10 for the BGW.

          Yeh I think you're right - it would require a haul to pay off the respective hit.

          I'm thinking of saving FTs and to focus on LIV and CHE players to cover 25 and hopefully 28 too.
          Maybe bring Tarkowski in too.
