The FFS Open Cup and the FFS Members Cup continue in Gameweek 16 – and we’re bringing you the latest results and draws here.

Both contests have £300 worth of prizes on offer, with a full breakdown towards the bottom of this piece.

FFS OPEN CUP

All five former champions are already eliminated from this competition, where the highest-ranked remaining managers are split by only two points: YNWA91 (4,115th) and Athletico Timbo (1,614th).

The latter recorded this sample size’s biggest Gameweek 15 score, beating TopMarx 76-67. This was very unlucky for Scout’s own staff member because most other winners did so with fewer points, including rascalbear (39) and Essan (46).

Meanwhile, two names from outside the overall top three million enter round five: schnuggi (3.21m) and Ze_Austin (3.14m).

FFS MEMBERS CUP

There aren’t any previous winners left in this one, either.

Sticky Toffee Pudding racked up 80 points at the weekend, one of four to receive at least 73 of them.

Kosh14 was a lucky victor on 41 points, considering Emre Can Pie (67), The StrongSide (64) and DanHurwood1 (64) were all defeated. The latter drew with wilkas44, but couldn’t progress because his opponent is doing better, now the highest-ranked remaining manager (8,257th).

Whereas Luggy10 is down near 1.89 million. He gets to face jacknz (32,764th).

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.

      Didn’t know anything about this. How do you qualify for the Membership Cup? How is this different to the one FPL says starts in GW23?

      Can't get to Bruno Fernandes, and kind of don't wan't him now that everyone will get him in.

      But I'd like a Man U asset for the fixtures, is Cunha more nailed now with Mbuemo out?
      Call it a punt, but he could be a good asset.

      1. Philosopher's Stones
        • 5 Years
        27 days, 22 hours ago

        Why is Mbeumo out? The next Copa America won't take place before 2028.

        1. Alexis Nonsense
          • 9 Years
          27 days, 22 hours ago

          Mbeumo and Amad go to AFCON soon as far as I know...

          1. MJF

            You've been reeled in there.

            plonker finally got attention, well played

          • NZREDS
            • 12 Years
            27 days, 21 hours ago

            Got em!

        3. F4L
          • 11 Years
          27 days, 22 hours ago

          for sure more nailed

          good punt. owned him alot this season already, not now but no doubting his quality. think he just needs that one match where he bags a goal or 2, motm and gets really going

          only question mark is how much does losing amad and mbeumo affect their attack as a whole

      2. F4L
        • 11 Years

        is it possible to justify getting Palmer in this GW? like if maresca gives a positive update before everton i.e in full training all week

        its a while until chelsea play a tough midweek fixture, so some good rest time for now until after the Villa match in 3 GWs. by then youd hope palmer is properly up to speed

        or just nah, forget it? annoying having too much money itb, want to use it

        1. Miguel Sanchez
          • 9 Years
          27 days, 22 hours ago

          I expect he starts and plays closer to 65 mins but Chelsea look cooked right now and playing on fumes. I expect Everton to keep it tight and possibly come away with a clean sheet.

          1. F4L
            • 11 Years
            27 days, 22 hours ago

            cheers

            ah fair enough, makes sense. while not ideal think if hes predicted to start will just get him in, want to start saving FTs after this GW and not have transfers planned

            also just really dont want to wait on palmer and potentially miss out on a haul on the off chance he hits the ground running

          2. MJF
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years

            Chelsea are a real Jekyll and Hyde team, I wouldn't be surprised if they stuffed Everton nor if Everton won 1-0.

        2. MJF
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          27 days, 22 hours ago

          When was the last time Palmer looked like a player you'd want in FPL? Not saying it won't happen, it probably will, but I want to see it first.

          1. F4L
            • 11 Years
            27 days, 22 hours ago

            honestly there was that 30 minute cameo where he changed the game vs brentford was close to a brace even

            then bayern away straight after looked elite again, again nearly a brace think he had a class goal ruled out for offside late on. then united match where the groin issue evidently became too much

            i get second half of last season was a huge drop off. if he was really carrying this groin injury that long though, can go some way to explaining the drop off

            1. MJF
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 7 Years
              27 days, 22 hours ago

              Yeah there have been flashes, no doubt. Should've scored the other day - v Leeds was it? Put a good chance wide.

              But I want to see him doing 90 mins a couple of times and score before I shell out 10.5, and I want to have enough confidence to cap him.

              1. F4L
                • 11 Years
                27 days, 22 hours ago

                cheers, fair enough

          2. F4L
            • 11 Years
            27 days, 22 hours ago

            and of course came up with the goods in back to back finals, 2 assists vs betis and then tore psg a new one

            like hmmm. its palmer, he's generational imo. class is permanent 🙂

            1. Miguel Sanchez
              • 9 Years
              27 days, 22 hours ago

              I agree that he’s class but I think it’s better to be a week late when he hauls rather than 3-4 weeks early

        3. el polako
          • 8 Years
          27 days, 22 hours ago

          Palmer has been poor since spring this year, don’t get people rushing in to get him.

            andersen if you just purely want a slightly better chance of a cs and/or defcon

          Leaning towards Andersen considering the long run.

          With 4FT should I do the following?Mateta + Xhaka > Guiu + Bruno

          Any other transfer suggestions?

          Raya
          Timber, Lacroix, Burn
          Saka, Foden, Semenyo, Minteh
          Haaland, Mateta, Thiago

          (Dubravka, Xhaka, Senesi*, Gudmundsson)

          1. C0YS
            • 10 Years
            27 days, 21 hours ago

            Looks good, no other pressing transfers imo

        8. Jet5605
          • 11 Years
          27 days, 21 hours ago

          Has there been any update on Gabriel return or are we still none the wiser?

          1. snow pea in repose
            • 5 Years
            27 days, 21 hours ago

            'Rumors' are he will be back before Christmas

        9. C0YS
          • 10 Years
          27 days, 21 hours ago

          Which Chelsea/Everton defensive combo would you pick long-term?

          A. Pickford + Chalobah
          B. Sanchez + Tarkowski

          Or are they about equal?

          1. NZREDS
            • 12 Years
            27 days, 21 hours ago

            A for me

          2. elpiratacordobes
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            27 days, 21 hours ago

            B for me

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          27 days, 21 hours ago

          Ndiaye to H Wilson worth it?
          Or roll FT one week for more flex (3FT left)

          1. Amartey Partey
            • 6 Years
            27 days, 21 hours ago

            I'd probably make the transfer, but it could backfire as Everton could do well against Chelsea.

        11. Amartey Partey
          • 6 Years
          27 days, 21 hours ago

          Anyone else wondering if Rice will be rested for the Wolves game because of his illness?

        12. Count of Monte Hristo
          • 12 Years
          27 days, 21 hours ago

          Evening folks, should Andersen or Minteh start ahead of my current Xl?

          Raya

          Timber Hincapíe Guehi

          Foden Semenyo Szsobozlai Kudus

          Thiago Haaland Bowen

          1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
            • 9 Years
            27 days, 20 hours ago

            Andersen over Guehi

        13. BlzE_94
          • 11 Years
          27 days, 21 hours ago

          Bench one:

          A) Mateta vs MCI (H)

          B) KDH vs CHE (A)

          1. Bobby Digital
            • 8 Years
            27 days, 21 hours ago

            B

        14. Udogie-style
          • 2 Years
          27 days, 21 hours ago

          Better to have Bruno and DCL or any other mid up to 7.4m and Woltemade?

          Current alternative mid options would be Dango, Rice, Merino, Kamara...

          Cheers.
