Round three of our latest FFS Members Cup takes place in Double Gameweek 33, where 64 remaining Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers are competing for a £300 prize fund.

A tournament for Premium Members, this is independent of those you can see on the official FPL website.

We’ll bring you the latest results in this article, plus the second-round draw, with a full breakdown of prizes towards the bottom.

FFS MEMBERS CUP

A complete list of round two results

Having safely made it through the first set of opponents, all four former champions have now been eliminated.

Chaballer lost 88-94 to Flekken Beacons, someone who had already eliminated the highest-placed manager heading into round one. Another scalp secured.

As well as Mayanyi and Mohd Rodzi, we’ve also seen rrcmc unluckily go out in a 91-94 defeat to Kiss The Badge – one of a dozen losers with at least 85 points. Meanwhile, glennloite (76), Chewibb (76) and SESSYLU (77) all progressed.

An even harsher defeat came to Insertpunnynamehere, on the wrong end of a 92-102 encounter with thesmed. Only one manager beat the 102 also achieved by Robben Me Blind, and that was LeSharks. There, a Bench Boost including Rayan Ait-Nouri and Joao Pedro brought in a whopping 116 points.

Elsewhere, the highest-ranked CasaBanter is still in, having beaten otacheer 94-84. But the next-best Zoinks is out – he lost to Cornish Pasty Man in the biggest match, based on the competitors’ combined positions being a very low 5,155th.

The winner is also in this week’s crunch clash, as he and TD Jakes are both around 4,000th in the world.

At the other extreme, schniggu (ranked 4,847,161st) has successfully reached the next round after an 84-77 win over Steve.

The full third-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.

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.

Fantasy Football Scout Members Cup Round Dates

  • Qualifying – Gameweek 30
  • Round 1 – Gameweek 31
  • Round 2 – Gameweek 32
  • Round 3 – Gameweek 33
  • Round 4 – Gameweek 34
  • Round 5 – Gameweek 35
  • Quarter-Final – Gameweek 36
  • Semi-Finals – Gameweek 37
  • Final and third place play-off – Gameweek 38

WHEN ARE THE FIXTURES RELEASED?

Where possible, the fixture list for each round will be published before each Gameweek deadline.

PRIZES

    Am I crazy for thinking of benching Salah tomorrow? Current team:

    Verbruggen
    Munoz* | Kilman | Kiwior* | Ait Nouri
    Salah | Saka* (TC) | Rogers*
    Marmoush* | Wood | Isak

    Pickford, Mbeumo, Murphy, Livra

    1. the dom 1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Yep, play Mo !!!

    2. SalahFingers
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I would never bench Salah

      1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Yeah, that's what they said about Palmer, as well. I won't do it, but am fully prepared for Mbeumo to haul and Wood to blank.

        1. Stockport Hatter
          • 9 Years
          1 year, 1 month ago

          Salah is a different beast. It’s not even a consideration.

    3. FantasyClub

      Sign off and throw your phone/Pc away. Go to sleep or something bro…this double making people loco

    4. Deus
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Hat-trick incoming

  2. the dom 1

    Is it worth switching Merino > Saka or too sideways?

    Worried about minutes for both players TBF...

    thoughts?

    1. SalahFingers
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I don't feel it's too sideways, but is it for free?

      I have decided on Palmer -> Saka (instead of KDB) for this week purely because I think Saka will play more minutes from now to the end of the season compared to KDB.

      but I don't like the looks of Merino and Trossard. Merino has been playing 90, but then 15 mins last week. Trossard just isn't good enough to me. He plays, but he doesn't score very highly.

      Honestly... Merino could far outscore Saka, especially if Saka gets his 23 minute games again, so who knows.

      1. the dom 1
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Thats the big thing really, who knows is right!

        Thanks for the reply

        1. SalahFingers
          • 8 Years
          1 year, 1 month ago

          Yeah sorry for the big flip flop back and forth, but I'd feel bad if you switched and Maeino did well.

          Saka is obviously the more famous one but his minutes are dodgy (like his hamstring), so for this week, Merino seems 'safer', but for the rest of the season, I would only want Saka. I would be trying to sell Merino asap after the double.

          Good luck either way.

  3. Positive vibes

    Who is best defender for 35 onwards?
    (Not from Arsenal, Man City, Palace and Villa)

    Is Milenkovic is good option?

    Thanks.

    1. SalahFingers
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I would say yes, or Aina if he's back by then.

  4. SalahFingers
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    I decided on this... 5FT

    AM -> Arteta
    Gabriel -> Kiwior
    TAA -> Gvardiol
    Dango -> Rogers
    Palmer -> Saka

    This leaves me with 1mil in the bank and 1 carry over transfer so I should be able to switch out Arteta and someone else for 10 playing players in the blank.

    Best Murphy replacement for BB33?

    A: Savinho
    B: Merino
    C: Rashford

    *already have Salah Saka Rogers Sarr

    *FHing in 34 (which will include Murphy)

    1. Deus
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I like Merino punt, Rashford is the safe choice here, and Savinho is a minute's risk

  6. Ruinenlust
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Will Dias start both games?

  7. Freshy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    1. Jet5605
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Don't like Bradley or Konsa long term

    2. Jet5605
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Murphy to Rogers is good

      1. SpaceCadet

        1 year, 1 month ago

        Thanks

    3. The Philosopher

      Murphy -> Rogers a no brainer if FH34

  9. Jet5605
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    A - Murphy to Rashford ( & bench Isak)
    B - Play Isak and roll FT

    1. Bavarian
      • 8 Years

      Roll

      1. Jet5605

    Thanks

    1. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      10 votes lol. Better chance of running for president and winning.

      I'm leaning that way.

    2. xuwei
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      No

    3. Drop Dead Tsimikas

      1 year, 1 month ago

      I keep going back and forth on a TC. Honestly couldn't call it.

      1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Feck it. Going with Saka. Better fixtures and they still have that hope for a miracle.

    4. Legohair
      • 10 Years

      Captain Saka

    5. djman102
      • 16 Years

      I'm on Sa(c)ka

    6. Tambling5
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Predicted Teams feature on here doesn't think Saka will start.

  11. SpaceCadet
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Best option to complete this bb defence? Can’t be from arsenal, city or palace.

    Raya Areola
    Saliba gvardiol Munoz Bradley xxxx

    1. xuwei
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

        Oh already have Bradley

        1. SpaceCadet
          • 12 Years
          1 year, 1 month ago

          Budget 4.9m

    2. Waylander
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      There aren't many - Ait Nouri, Konsa, Wan Bissaka? None are ideal.

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Might get Konsa for the double

    3. djman102
      • 16 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Wan Bissaka for me. When in doubt, target the promoted teams.

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        He’s flagged though?

        1. djman102
          • 16 Years
          1 year, 1 month ago

          Yeah, I saw the comment below after replying. Neale has him starting, and FWIW, I trust his call. Though on BB Konsa is the safer pick.

          1. SpaceCadet
            • 12 Years
            1 year, 1 month ago

            Cheers man. Already have Bradley who I’m hoping will make it to 60 mins. Don’t want to fret about another players game time. Konsa seems the safe bet.

  12. Manani
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    A. Livermento > Dias
    B. Play Isak

    1. Manani
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Or do
      C. Murphy + Saliba > Kiwior + KDB

    2. djman102
      • 16 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      What's your risk/reward tolerance? CAB from highest to lowest.

  13. The Philosopher
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    What am I hearing about Wan Bissaka the fker being 75% on the app?

    1. Waylander
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Potter said he's got a toe injury and is playing through it with injections. Potter said he should be ok to play the game and he needs wins so I'm betting on Wan Bissaka to start.

  14. Evasivo
    • 15 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Raya Sa
    Saliba Muñoz Gvardiol Schar Milenk
    Saka Rogers Salah Murphy Sarr
    Isak Mateta Marmoush

    1) Who to bench

    Also 3FT £0.0itb

    1. Waylander
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Bench: Sa, Schar, Milenk, Isak/Murphy

      1. Tambling5
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Yep. I'd play Isak over Murphy but must be best to play the DGWers.

      2. Evasivo
        • 15 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Thank you, Murphy been in such great form, prob gotta be Isak out the two

  15. Waylander
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Are either or both of those worth a -4 each?

    A) Murphy > Rogers -4 (I have FH GW34 top get Murphy back)
    B) Livramento > Ruben Dias -4
    C) A+B for -8

    Thanks.

    1. Evasivo
      • 15 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Maybe B but prob not for me

  16. marpy016
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    This worth a BB, have 10 doublers + Salah?

    Verbruggen - Isak - Livra - Neco

    1. Waylander
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Verbruggen, Livra and Neco not ideal. The question you need to ask is which GW you will have a better bench so take a look at the GWs going forward.

      1. marpy016
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Agreed, not ideal. I'm FH34 so worried about potential injuries over next few weeks.

        1. Tambling5
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          1 year, 1 month ago

          It's the squad rotation going forward too, with the teams still in Europe resting players. Saka for example, is I my team, but no idea how many minutes he'll get. I've decided to bench boost this week as think will need subs from bench in last few weeks.

          1. marpy016
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            1 year, 1 month ago

            Yeah definitely part of thinking as well.

            Then I can stop thinking about my bench and hang a good 15.

            BB33 it is

  17. Drop Dead Tsimikas
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    This is totally not me trying to convince myself that benching Mbeumo over Wood is OK. He has blanked in five of six home games and the only "haul" was a five-pointer. Last big haul at home was GW15 (13 points vs. Newcastle).

  18. Meta12345
    • 1 Year
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Captain salah or marmoush?

    1. Waylander
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Marmoush gets you 2 bites at the cherry.

      1. Meta12345
        • 1 Year
        1 year, 1 month ago

        But it is leicester, and it is salah

  19. DropkickMurphys
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Hi guys, which TWO to start?

    1- Burn (avl)
    2- Cucu (ful)
    3- Kerkez (cry)
    4- Milenkovic (tot)

    Thanks a lot…

    1. Waylander
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Cucu, Kerkez

      1. DropkickMurphys
        • 5 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Hey man, cheers. Why do you think Kerkez over Burn? I’m in between, feeling like Crystal will want some kind of redemption at home.

        1. Waylander
          • 9 Years
          1 year, 1 month ago

          Cause I think Villa score against Newcastle where as Bournemouth could keep a cleanie and Kerkez has more chance of an attacking return over Burn.

          1. DropkickMurphys
            • 5 Years
            1 year, 1 month ago

            Good points man, thanks.

    2. GE
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      3 and 4

  20. SKENG
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    A) Triple Captain Marmoush
    B) Bench Boost this bench - Martinez Joao Pedro Livramento Burn?

    TC I could use in DGW36, but I don't think I will have a better bench...

    1. GE
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      B

    2. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
      • 11 Years

      A

    3. djman102
      • 16 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      That wouldn't be a bad bench in 36 depending on what the rest of your squad looks like.

  21. Johan Queef
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Got 2 frees and looking to bench boost:

    1) Murphy -> Rogers
    2) Livramento/Milenkovic -> Kiwior
    3) Both
    4 Neither

    Cheers!!

    1. GE
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      3

    2. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      3

    3. FantasyClub
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Problem with 3 is you’re gonna want a Forest defender straight after

      1. Johan Queef
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Maybe Tino out then? As I can get him for the Ipswich game on FH

        1. FantasyClub
          • 5 Years
          1 year, 1 month ago

          Yeah sorry Tino is part of the equation so yeah not Milenkovic

  22. TheSteel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Foden or Rashford?

    1. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Rashford

    2. djman102
      • 16 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I have Rashford in my FH right now, FWIW.

  23. GE
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Savinho -> Luiz Diaz (-4)?

    1. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      No

  24. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Saka (c) locked. The fixtures outweigh the unnecessary concern about minutes in my opinion

  25. Lucky Z
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Raya | Areola
    Saliba | Gvardiol | Konsa
    KDB | Salah | Saka | Sarr | Rogers
    Marmoush | Mateta | Isak

    Anything worth a hit for this BB team? 0ITB

    1. Lucky Z
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Munoz | Livramento

    2. djman102
      • 16 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Who are your other 2 defenders?

      1. djman102
        • 16 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Just saw your follow up. Livra is the weakest link, but not worth a hit IMO unless you're chasing.

    3. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Who you captaining?

      1. Lucky Z
        • 8 Years

        Marmoush

  26. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

      For TC either A or C. Saka is too big a risk as his minutes are likely to be managed. I’ve got the same conundrum this week and haven’t decided yet.

      Bench Savinho.
