The latest results and draws for the FFS Cups

The semi-finals of our FFS Open Cup and FFS Members Cup competitions will take place in Gameweek 24 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL).

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 quarter-finals can be viewed here

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

Recently sat at ninth in the world, Plasticnancy is now out of both cup competitions. By captaining Eddie Nketiah over Erling Haaland, she lost by four points to WEAK BECOME HEROS, who wasn’t made to pay for benching Luke Shaw’s 12-point haul.

He will now face TwoTon Ted, ranked all the way down at 557,654th, after a 69-57 win over Narcos.

Yet both other losing teams would’ve comfortably beaten this pair. DLI (77) and The Cloud Watcher (76) were eliminated by Spectrum (88) and Colombo Geezers (85) respectively.

FFS MEMBERS CUP

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

This wasn’t the case in our Members Cup, where the four defeated scores were indeed the four lowest-scoring teams.

Highest-ranked is Lionac, finishing on a brilliant 97 points due to owning the double-digit hauls of Bukayo Saka, Kevin De Bruyne, Riyad Mahrez, Haaland and Shaw.

Up next is Whitty, whilst Mani10000g will face Alcmckay in the other semi.

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.

        Why never?
        Ederson - vs Forest, you would hope is about a 60% chance of a clean sheet.
        Tarkowski - Playing for a rejuvenated Everton under Dyche and Leeds aren't exactly free-scoring right now (haven't scored in three of their last five)
        Bueno - Against Bournemouth who have scored TWICE in their last SIX!
        Martinelli - In a race for the title more than ever now against an Aston Villa side that have conceded SEVEN in their last TWO!

        Jinswick, if you want to play it I don't think it's the worst week to do it personally, people talking not a DGW this or DGW that, but how many times in the past 10 seasons has holding a bench boost benefitted until then. Also perks of using it now you can slowly bring in some proper fodder knowing you won't have to use that chip going forward and can maximise your budget for a strong XI w/ one super sub maybe?

      You may get lucky but no, just line up a better bench in a double game week to give you a better chance of a haul ... maybe next week with those players ?

      I had 26 points on my bench this week but wouldn't have bench boosted, just the way it falls sometimes

    Haaland (c), Kane, Nketiah

      I do not know if all the advance planning will do anything. Only one player has to get injured and all the planning is gone. I think it is important to have Saka on the team. It hurt me a lot that I did not have him. He also scores penalties at Arsenal.

        Not really, as you can see all my transfers are free, so a slight tweak here or there maybe but I think in terms of generally forward planning that is about as good as I can navigate the weeks and doubles?

        I would like Saka but just can't get him in, yet.

          I have to lose three of Shaw, Rashford, Bruno, Trippier, Burn, Mitoma. I lose 0.1 on transfering Rashford out and bringing him back and I'm hoping sales of him in GW25 make him drop 0.1 again anyways.

      Transfers look good but I'd keep Shaw this weekend and then do a double transfer next week of: Shaw Bruno and Burn to Salah Kilman and Tarkowski for -4. That will give you 11 then.

        That's not a bad shout. Let me make sure the following weeks tie up. You really think Shaw is going to keep a clean sheet against Leicester though?

        Ahh, sorry, to point out. I have 2FTs this week. So no point wasting it, that's why I'm in a rush to make a transfer this week. Guessing you're going to say Burn > Kilman this week in that case? The thought of benching him against BOU though will be a killer.

          Team above looks good yes, wouldnt get rid of Kane hes one of the the most consistent player this year so far. Martinelli to Saka would be nice but a bit sideways, just unlucky you didnt go with Saka over him last couple of weeks
