The next rounds of our FFS Open Cup and FFS Members Cup will take place in Gameweek 15.

We’ll bring you the latest draws and results in this article.

A total of £600 worth of prizes are on offer across the two tournaments, with a full breakdown towards the bottom of this piece.

FFS OPEN CUP

One of the two remaining former champions who entered the competition bowed out.

TFO fell 67-62 to the temporarily titled Change name.

However, donnellyc lives to fight another day after a 65-56 victory over Revival.

They now play FPL Bielsa in the third round.

Notlob Legin, our top-ranked manager sitting at 3,549th in the world, also survived: they saw off Jimgranty 58-52.

Brandy’s Geordies, at 1.4 million in the world, are up next for Notlob.

Of the other three managers in the top 10k, givetngog and GenlyAI progressed but Creetle was eliminated 74-65 by Meganuts.

Our lowest-ranked remaining manager at just over four million in the world, RedLightning, edged past BRUIK and now faces SH@KTIMAAN.

Epic Fail was unlucky: a Gameweek 14 score of 79 would have beaten many others but it was one short of what opponent Bagheri Arce – stop sniggering at the back – posted.

Bazim‘s score of 93 was the best of the round and some 36 points more than what Mostafa Khaled could muster.

The second-round results are available here.

The third-round draw is available here.

FFS MEMBERS CUP

The FFS Members Cup – which is one round shorter – took a brief hiatus in Gameweek 14 in order to align the competition with the FFS Cup.

There’s just a draw to bring you, then, rather than a results round-up.

Former champion Chaballer, ranked at 79k in the world, next takes on Team Splendiferous, sitting some 450,000+ places further back.

Our only other former remaining winner, Mohd Rohzi, faces TonyE in round two. The latter is almost a million places ahead of our ex-champ, at 289k.

Three managers sitting inside the top 10k go again in round two.

Werkself (6,812th), Creetle (7,820th) and Genly Ai (9,480th) take on Boleyn Boy, sandgrounder and Super Paul McShane.

RedLightning also remains our lowest-ranked remaining entrant in the FFS Members Cup and now faces The Lighthouse Keeper, who lies around the 366k mark.

The full second-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.

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

    3. Conners
      • 6 Years
      12 months, 3 days ago

      I purposely didn't get a bye so that I can lead my future opponents into a false sense of security.

          1. have you seen cyan
            • 6 Years
            12 months, 3 days ago

    2. mookie
      • 12 Years

      Cheers!

      Did Gandhi say anything about “never two without three”? Rico scored in the last two vs. Palace...

      1. Andy_Social
        • 13 Years
        12 months, 3 days ago

        And .... i've sold Lewis for Virgil 🙁

  6. Superflymonk
    • 11 Years

    My cup opponent wildcarded this week, the one week I had to take a hit to field 11 players, lol! It's over before it even started

  7. Jordan.

    1. Geriatric Unathletic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      12 months, 3 days ago

      Hooray :). Nice one.

  8. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 11 Years
    12 months, 3 days ago

    Who would you start next GW?

    A) Rogers (nfo)
    B) Wood (AVL)

    1) Hall (LEI)
    2) RAN (IPS)

    1. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      12 months, 3 days ago

      Easily B, for the 2nd its closer, Hall for cleanie chance and RAN more attacking. Think i'd lean RAN.

    One player in my family and friends mini-league has played his Bench Boost with three players from the Merseyside derby in his squad!

    He must have been aware of the postponement, because he's moved them to his bench, but he forgot to cancel the Bench Boost - or did he activate it by accident?

    1. ☈☾
      • 8 Years
      12 months, 3 days ago

      he likes to troll

    2. JBG
      • 7 Years
      12 months, 3 days ago

      This is the kind of ML I want to be in... stop playing because everyone in my former MLs started copying "experts". Wasn't fun anymore, 4-5 similar teams in a ML of 9-10.

  10. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    12 months, 3 days ago

    bored cuz no game rn

    1. David Parkinson
      • 3 Years
      12 months, 3 days ago

      Seriously?

  11. have you seen cyan
    • 6 Years
    12 months, 3 days ago

    Nunez shot into row z

    1. evilfish
      • 9 Years
      12 months, 3 days ago

      He was stood in row x but still an impressive spurt.

  12. Bleh
    • 8 Years
    12 months, 3 days ago

    Was Sanchez’s benching a one off last week or do we think it could happen again? Thinking to bring him in for Pickford.

    1. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      12 months, 3 days ago

      Manager said it was just a rest and he starts this GW. But my uninformed reading is that if he underperforms, he gets dropped sharpish.

      1. Bleh
        • 8 Years
        12 months, 3 days ago

        Hmm thanks, might be safer to go Onana/Raya. But Chelsea’s fixtures look soooo good.

  13. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    12 months, 3 days ago

    Salah fail

  14. Mother Farke
    • 1 Year
    12 months, 3 days ago

    Let's pretend
    Let's pretend
    Let's pretend there is a game

    Oooooooooooooh

    1. have you seen cyan

      TAA down

    2. Skonto Rigga
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 8 Years
      12 months, 3 days ago

      Interesting 3-box-3 set-up this from Dyche, with Ashley Young inverting into the '10'

  15. Conners
    • 6 Years
    12 months, 3 days ago

    Would be ideal if 'Pools game is moved to GW19, freeing up the later, bigger DGW's for BB and FH.

    1. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      12 months, 3 days ago

      No way either team agree to reschedule it to new years eve/day.

  16. David Parkinson
    • 3 Years
    12 months, 3 days ago

    Close, Salah through 1 on 1...

  17. Mighty Duck
    • 1 Year
    12 months, 3 days ago

    DCL incredible double already to this minute. Dyche and Slot clashed in melee combat on the touchline. Jesus, what's going on?!

  18. OrmskirkFC
    • 13 Years
    12 months, 3 days ago

    Turned on the game here in the States to see a 0-0 scoreline and it took me embarrassingly long to realize they were airing a Liverpool-Newcastle replay.

  19. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    12 months, 3 days ago

    Through from McNeil, Gomez fumbles and DCL shoots

    GOAAALLLLL

    Var check!!!

    /offside

    1. Fat Frank
      • 8 Years
      12 months, 3 days ago

      McNeil assist or no?

      1. Yes Ndidi
        • 6 Years
        12 months, 3 days ago

        Would have been. DCL went too early. Looking lively though

  20. David Parkinson
    • 3 Years
    12 months, 3 days ago

    Tarkowski off for pulling Salah's 'hair' off! Bedlam out there.

  21. Andy_Social
    • 13 Years
    12 months, 3 days ago

    Dyche deaf to the chants of "You're getting fired in the morning!"

    1. Yes Ndidi
      • 6 Years
      12 months, 3 days ago

      He's heard it all many times before.
      Normally the day before he gets sacked

  22. mookie
    • 12 Years
    12 months, 3 days ago

    Elite 1000(FPL Review) captaincy:
    Palmer - 81,7%
    Haaland - 6,2%
    Salah - 5,9%
    Saka - 4,8%

    1. Fat Frank
      • 8 Years
      12 months, 3 days ago

      I sold Haaland this week, dreading it, know I’ve messed up now before a ball is even kicked

      1. Strike me a Gakpose
        • 12 Years
        12 months, 3 days ago

        It’s fine you’ve got 25 more players to play

        1. Fat Frank
          • 8 Years
          12 months, 3 days ago

          No good if Haaland hauls as he isn’t one of them

    2. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      12 months, 3 days ago

      People who capped Salah should be shamefully removed from that list for being top .01% luckers

    3. mookie
      • 12 Years
      12 months, 3 days ago

      Players owned by over 90%:
      99,6 - Palmer
      93,8% - Pedro
      92,6 - Salah
      91,6 - Gabriel

  23. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    12 months, 3 days ago

    Who would be your budget GK of choice? Or don't bother and stick with Flekken/Fabianski?

    1. David Parkinson
      • 3 Years
      12 months, 3 days ago

      Try and find some wedge for Alisson. Better than Raya and you save a pip.

    2. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      12 months, 3 days ago

      I'm considering Kepa for Flekken next week. People are commenting on Bournemouth defence and good fixtures, yet he's not in the conversation.

      1. Atimis
        • 9 Years
        12 months, 3 days ago

        Just wanted to note him, looking good in terms of saves and PSxG

        https://fbref.com/en/comps/9/Premier-League-Stats#all_stats_squads_keeper

  24. Strike me a Gakpose
    • 12 Years

  26. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years

    1. David Parkinson
      • 3 Years
      12 months, 3 days ago

      No because weather can change. It didn't though, good forecasting.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 8 Years
        12 months, 3 days ago

        FPL say no assist for DCL - intended destination was Pickford but he sliced it 50 yards in the wrong direction

        1. Merlin the Wraith
          • 9 Years
          12 months, 3 days ago

          Jeez! U lot playing Subbuteo?

          1. Fat Frank
            • 8 Years
            12 months, 3 days ago

            It’s being played indoors, you not watching?

        2. Fat Frank
          • 8 Years
          12 months, 3 days ago

          Seen them given, could argue DCL header was an attempt on goal

  30. Fat Frank
    • 8 Years
    12 months, 3 days ago

    Trent G

    1. Fat Frank
      • 8 Years

    2. Sir Matt Bugsby
      • 6 Years

      1. FantasyTony
        • 8 Years
        12 months, 3 days ago
