The FFS Open Cup and the FFS Members Cup will continue in Gameweek 14 – and the latest results and draws can be found here.

FFS OPEN CUP

Two former champions progressed in Gameweek 13, while two bowed out.

sandgrounder narrowly made it past jwm478 by 58-54, while TFO had a more convincing 76-48 win over Boomtizzle.

HOCHOKI and Gargamel await in round three.

2EyedTurk and TH14, however, lost to Coyiii and Hilarious Pun FC by small margins.

Our then-highest-ranked manager, FPL Amateur, was hammered 77-30 by Studs Up.

Berries, who rose to 1,314th in the world last time out, is our new high flyer. Kekn.87 awaits in Gameweek 14.

FFS MEMBERS CUP

Four of our former winners – Mayanyi, Gazza2000, rrcmc and Chabs – won in round one.

Gazza2000 defeated Mukkulan Reipas 71-48, Chabs saw off Francisdanielwilson on a tiebreak after a 49-all draw, rrcmc beat GaribaldiT 50-44, and Mayanyi edged MB10 44-39.

They now face Emre Can Pie, Skonto Rigga, Struijk it lucky and Stooshermadness respectively.

Fellow ex-champs Scrumper and Rossaldinho are out, however. They suffered 15-point defeats to Zampa88 and GTL.

The lowest-ranked manager in the competition, IvanGeorgiev, made it through after a 58-33 win over IanGJones.

And, just to prove the magic of the cup, our then-highest-ranked entrant, pkilleen, lost to dA4s by 53-54.

The aforementioned Berries is now our top-ranked manager. They take on CathyM in round two.

Werkself, who squeaked through in the 256th and final qualifying spot, secured a thumping 76-47 victory over Jumpers4GoalPosts, who is inside the top 20k.

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.

    If you can play only one, would you rather play:
    A) Guehi
    B)Recce James
    C) Thiago

    Appreciate your help and reason.

    Thk you

    1. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      11 days, 6 hours ago

      C. He’s on fire

    2. NZREDS
      • 12 Years
      11 days, 5 hours ago

      C for sure - probably get another penalty!

  2. dansmith1985

    G2G and roll FT here? Only have 1 at the moment

    Sels
    Calafiori VVD Munoz
    Semenyo Enzo Saka Kudus
    Mateta Haaland Welbeck

    Dubravka Reijnders Gud Senesi

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 days, 6 hours ago

      Yes

    2. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      11 days, 6 hours ago

      Maybe sell Reindeer

    3. Jinswick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 days, 5 hours ago

      Any cash in the bank? I’d be tempted with Kudus -> Bruno/Gakpo/Minteh/Rice if you can afford. Reijnders probably also needs to go soon too.

    4. FourLokoLeipzig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      11 days, 5 hours ago

      Thought Gud might have lost his starting spot? You might have only two defenders if so if the Arsenal predicted line-up is right with Cala being rested

  3. Rasping Drive
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years

    Guehi. Don’t think James starts and don’t see Brentford scoring.

    1. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 days, 6 hours ago

      Sorry, reply meant for Zensum

  4. The FPL Units
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years

    G2G? Cost me a hit for this lot.

    Dubs
    Guehi Timber VvD
    Saka Bruno Anderson Enzo BrunoG
    (H)aaland Thiago

    Pope* Senesi* Andersen Kroupi

    1. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      11 days, 6 hours ago

      Looks good

  5. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    11 days, 5 hours ago

    What would you do here? Have 6FTs to use over the next 2 weeks. Would like Bruno but that means losing Semenyo & using a bunch of FTs…also think Gakpo is a good pick:

    A) Pope, Senesi, Sarr -> 4.9, Thiaw, Gakpo
    B) Pope, Senesi, Sarr -> Raya, O’Reilly, Minteh
    C) Pope, Senesi, Sarr, Semenyo -> 5.1, Thiaw, Bruno, Minteh
    D) Pope, Senesi, Sarr, Semenyo, Xhaka -> Verbruggen, Thiaw, Bruno, Gakpo, Miley

    Pope
    Timber, Richards, Senesi
    Saka, Mbeumo, Semenyo, Sarr
    Haaland, Mateta, Woltemade

    Dubravka, Rodon, Xhaka, Alderete
    Bank 0.8m, 5FT, no chips

  6. SpaceCadet
    • 12 Years
    11 days, 5 hours ago

    Gakpo or Minteh?

    1. NZREDS
      • 12 Years
      11 days, 5 hours ago

      Im in the same boat
      A) Keep Graelish and save a FT (not producing much but is a differential in my league.
      B) Graelish -> Gakpo
      C) Graelish -> Minteh

      Looking at B at the moment as will be only Liverpool cover

  7. Tripleh123
    • 5 Years

    Need some advice here, should I transfer out Pope and if so who to replace him with?

    1. FourLokoLeipzig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      11 days, 5 hours ago

      Think I’m going to prioritise getting rid of Senesi this week, but I looked at Pope options enough to have decided on Verbruggen myself unless Pope’s back starting soon. Henderson and Sanchez are the others I think could be good options, but not sure they’re worth the extra cash over Verb

  8. JT11fc
    • 7 Years
    11 days, 5 hours ago

    Start Schade or Timber?
    Feel like Timber might get a rest to be honest

    1. FourLokoLeipzig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      11 days, 5 hours ago

      You might be right but I’d still start Timber

      1. JT11fc
        • 7 Years
        11 days, 5 hours ago

        Thanks

  9. Von Lipwig
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    11 days, 5 hours ago

    A) Foden
    B) Minteh
    C) Gakpo

    leaning Foden, but i hate having city players, epsecially with the upcoming fixture congestion.

  10. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 9 Years
    11 days, 4 hours ago

    Sarr to;

    A) Rice
    B) Minteh

    1. Von Lipwig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      11 days, 4 hours ago

      I'm also consideing Foden and Gakpo. Not sure. Same boat. Anyone have an opinion?

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 9 Years
        11 days, 4 hours ago

        I have Gakpo. Wont go Foden because of fixture congestion and Pep.

    2. PaladinVargas
      • 8 Years
      11 days, 4 hours ago

      Minteh would have more secure starts. Less likely to be rotated.

  11. FantasyClub
    • 4 Years
    11 days, 4 hours ago

    Im not a pro analyst but anyone notice BrunoG playing really deep due to Hall and Livramento bombing up the field?
    Just trying to figure out if BrunoG is a good move...im likely to brung in Hall though.

    Anyones input with a better eye would be appreciated

    1. Sandy Ravage
      • 9 Years
      11 days, 4 hours ago

      Hall is a great pick. Bruno has been getting into the box more often this season, but I've gone Barnes in NEW MID.

  12. SpaceCadet
    • 12 Years
    11 days, 4 hours ago

    Best cap pick this gw?

    a. haaland
    b. saka
    c. semenyo
    d. gakpo
    e. mateta

    1. Casual Player
      • 5 Years
      11 days, 4 hours ago

      f. Salah

  13. Letsgo!
    • 9 Years
    11 days, 4 hours ago

    Senesi to thiaw or necowilliams for -4?

    1. Letsgo!
      • 9 Years
      11 days, 4 hours ago

      Or lewis hall?

  14. PaladinVargas
    • 8 Years
    11 days, 4 hours ago

    Snookered this week and need to take a hit for sure.

    Raya
    Andersen VVD Richards Rodon Senesi*
    Caicedo* Sarr* Bruno F Semenyo Ndiaye
    Guiu Mateta Haaland

    Thinking the following:

    Caicedo & Sarr > Minteh & Gakpo? Or Rice and Foden?

    Defender doesn't seem worth a hit unless Senesi to Chalobah?

    1. PaladinVargas
      • 8 Years
      11 days, 4 hours ago

      1FT and £4.4m ITB.

  15. FantasyFooty01
    • 8 Years
    11 days, 1 hour ago

    Dubravka
    Richards Timber O’Reilly
    Mbeumo Saka Semenyo Miley
    Haaland Pedro Mateta
    Pope Keane Rodon Sarr
    0.0 ITB 0 FT
    Should I take a -4 hit and get Minteh in for Sarr or hold out and hope Miley starts? If I get minteh in I can upgrade semenyo to for cunha and take the -8 hit.
