The FFS Open Cup and the FFS Members Cup continue in Gameweek 17 – 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

Although YNWA91 (4,117th) successfully progressed to the sixth round after a tight 79-78 victory over Schiffy11, the honour of highest-ranked manager now belongs to Athletico Timbo (1,771st).

The new leader won 93-84 against an unlucky Terry22, one of three to depart despite recording 82 or more points, alongside Frazek HotSpurs (83) and stooshermadness (82). Yet Waxfoot only needed 61 of them to get past jaxxden.

Two managers bettered Timbo’s tally: thalliday1985 (98) and BilboBaggins (96).

Next up, the former has a really tight encounter against ekiekiwapang. Ranked 60,159th and 65,749th in the world, only two points separate them.

Meanwhile, Ze_Austin, down around 2.52 millionth overall, is facing rascalbear.

FFS MEMBERS CUP

In both competitions, all former champions have already been eliminated.

Wilkas44 (7,506th) remains the highest-placed manager, having narrowly got past FPL Bielsa in an 80-78 win.

He’s about to face the lowest-ranked team of Luggy10 (887k), but maybe it’s not quite the ‘David v Goliath’ initially assumed, as the latter bagged a huge 103 points thanks to Triple Captain Bukayo Saka.

This defeated an unlucky jacknz, bowing out on 82 points, just like Macboro. Also out are Yanti2 (81) and Mendip Muppets (81).

After Luggy10, the best Gameweek 16 scores came from Dempele (98) and Asim Ahmed Khan (97).

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.

    Would you buy Cherki (own Foden & Haaland) if it meant you needed to bench Minteh to play him??

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      14 hours, 48 mins ago

      No I would not.

    2. The Night Trunker.

      It's certainly more tempting with Doku out, and as a non Foden owner knowing they won't go there, he could be a great sword & shield henceforth.
      Definitely in my thinking.

        Are you thinking triple Citeh attack then?
        Interesting, I think most will not though.

    3. Obi 1 Kenobi 0

        Just done it, Wolt & Bruno G to Ekitike & Cherki

    4. FCSB

      Raya
      VVD Senesi VanHecke
      BrunoG Fernandes Foden Minteh
      Thiago Mateta Haaland

      Dubravka Munoz Stach Gudmundsson

      5FT, 2.0itb

      I'm thinking I'll do Munoz >> O'Reilly...

      Then anything else:

      1. BrunoG >> Wilson
      2. Mateta >> Ekitike
      3. Both

      Any of suggestions?

      1. BrockLanders

      Jiminez (played 90 mins tonight) to DCL?

      1. CoracAld2831
        • 4 Years
        13 hours, 55 mins ago

        Do you they have anyone else that can start as CF?

          13 hours, 49 mins ago

          Some dude called Asare but he ain't up to much

      2. Captain Mal

        13 hours, 49 mins ago

        How do you know he played 90 minutes? We're 15 minutes away yet. Are you a time traveler? Blink twice if they're standing behind you.

          I know this Friday's Euro million results also.

          1. Captain Mal
            • 1 Year
            13 hours, 19 mins ago

            Do you also know how many goals DCL scores against Palace? That's the real million dollar question.

      3. The Night Trunker.
        • 2 Years
        13 hours, 44 mins ago

        DCL has actually come out of the Pantomime and gone into Shakespearian wannabe territory.
        Will he succeed...It's up to you to decide.

        1. Tommy Template
          • 11 Years

          Jimi is a problem. Spent the last 15 mins an absolute passenger out there for Fulham. His old legs cant do this with no other option

          1. The Night Trunker.
            • 2 Years
            13 hours, 26 mins ago

            I can't disagree.

    8. Pies Have Come
      • 7 Years
      14 hours, 35 mins ago

      Anyone watched the City v Brentford game confirm why Foden came on as sub after 19 mins then went on 82? Did he get injured or just being rested?

      Thanks.

      1. KunDogan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years

        Rested

          Thanks.

    9. AC Pilkington

      • 10 Years
      14 hours, 35 mins ago

      Did Foden get injured? Saw he got subbed off after being subbed on

      1. Bigbars
        • 14 Years
        13 hours, 51 mins ago

        Oscar Bobb got injured, Foden came on, then was withdrawn later on, no injury for Foden.

      Woltemade on for Wissa (72'). Fulham now playing a 443 formation.

    11. Tommy Template
      • 11 Years
      14 hours, 31 mins ago

      Livra gone off injured too. Looks like knee potentially

    12. tucaoneo
      • 7 Years
      14 hours, 27 mins ago

      Might be time to chase whichever attacker against Newcastle lol

      1. Kaneyonero
        • 9 Years
        13 hours, 22 mins ago

        Enzo or Palmer

      2. RICICLE
        • 3 Years

        Why?

    13. Stimps

      • 12 Years

      Szobo, Raul -> Wilson, Eketike (-4)?

      1. BR510
          13 hours, 28 mins ago

          No

        • The Night Trunker.

          Sits well with me.

        • No Professionals
          • 8 Years

          Probably

      2. BR510
          14 hours, 27 mins ago

          Who to upgrade first if Thiago to Guiu?

          1. KDH to 7.8 or below and play 352
          2. Andersen to Van Dijk/Gvardiol and play 442
          3. Rice to Bruno F and play 442

          1. I have no Wirtz
              13 hours, 35 mins ago

              3.

              Took me a while to acknowledge, two missed penalties did not help, but now I am there.

            • No Professionals
              • 8 Years
              13 hours, 11 mins ago

              Why take Thiago out? Have I missed something?

              1. BR510
                  13 hours, 2 mins ago

                  Sorry it’s for next week. Keeping for wolves

                13 hours, 17 mins ago

                Unlikely. They didn't do anything about the Semenyo neck grab.

            • Stranger Mings
              • 5 Years
              13 hours, 59 mins ago

              Really toennon whether oreilly worth -4? Otherwise have to play vvd and can see spurs scoring 1 or 2?

              1. No Professionals
                • 8 Years
                13 hours, 13 mins ago

                Not worth a minus 4 imo

                Liverpool defence much improved, spurs awful at home, vvd base is probably 3 points.

                1. Stranger Mings
                  • 5 Years

                  I expect him to get 4, Spurs were abysmal in their last one. Whu will concede a lot, but no-one would be surprised of Bowen scoring one. I am annoyed with VvD, but he is place holder for Gabriel. Arsenal will tighten when he is back.

                Which looks best combination for the next couple of weeks ?
                1. Semenyo/ Cunha + Guiu
                2. Le Fee + Bowen
                3. Cherki + DCL

                    Tough one. I like 1 with Cunha from 18/19, own him and with the amount of big chances he is getting, coupled with the fixtures and 4% ownership, he is an awesome pick

                      It's tricky alright. Currently have Szobo and Guiu in those spots. Waiting to hear Liverpool team news. Also have Bruno but no Foden

                      1. BR510
                          6 hours, 2 mins ago

                          I think 1 then because it saves a FT

                    Best replacements for Munoz and Burn? Remaining defenders in my team is Timber, O'Reilly, Esteve.

                    Virgil, Van Hecke, Chalobah, a second Arsenal def?

                    1. BR510

                              Wilson looked knackered after the match tonight, looked like cramps. Might hold off any early transfer

                                  He looked knackered half way through. Was hoping he would be taken off at the hour mark, but stayed the full 90. Worrying for the weekend.

                                This site is dying on its arse. The threads are such poor quality, the likes of Virgin are allowed run roughshod over anything and nobody takes action, very few even read the articles, and when you report something, they do nothing for hours, if at all. You need to improve or die. You may be dead already.

                                  They could kill the H2H Leagues while they're at it. No one has updated those since GW12

                                    Nobody cares. They are all far too interested in self promotion on Twatter or YT

                                      Andrews on Thiago not being in the squad: "I had to make some changes, with Dango going away and a couple of knocks to Thiago and Henderson."
