The finals of our FFS Open Cup and FFS Members Cup took place in Gameweek 20.
But with the quick Fantasy Premier League (FPL) turnaround from Sunday to Tuesday, we thought we’d leave the results round-up to a quieter period.
And here we go…
FFS OPEN CUP
FINAL
| Team 1 | vs | Team 2 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Name | Score | Rank | Name | Score | Rank | |
| rascalbear | 38 | 586368 | vs | BilboBaggins | 41 | 136378 |
It was a narrow win for BilboBaggins in the FFS Cup.
The two finalists only shared five of their starting XIs and, in a low-scoring week when no player on either side managed a double-digit haul, the little differences mattered.
A ‘keeper clean sheet was effectively where it was won, with BilboBaggins benefitting from Bart Verbruggen‘s shut-out as rascalbear’s Caoimhim Kelleher drew a blank.
Otherwise, none of the other difference-makers scored more than five points. It was bits and bobs from Morgan Rogers and Elliot Anderson on one side, unlikely DefCon points from Jarrod Bowen and Rayan Cherki on the other.
THIRD/FOURTH PLACE PLAY-OFF
| Team 1 | vs | Team 2 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Name | Score | Rank | Name | Score | Rank | |
| ekiekiwapang | 45 | 20578 | vs | HOCHOKI | 65 | 274421 |
The most one-sided of our four matches saw HOCHOKI bag third place with a 20-point win.
They were helped by a well-placed Wildcard, with over half of their total coming from the defence: Verbruggen, Malick Thiaw and Gabriel Magalhaes combined for 33 points.
Jack Grealish and Harry Wilson bagged attacking returns for the higher-ranked ekiekiwapang but to no avail.
FFS MEMBERS CUP
FINAL
In a more high-scoring FFS Members Cup showdown, the finalists had one 17-pointer apiece: Thiaw on one side, Igor Thiago on the other.
Bruno Guimaraes‘ 10-point haul for Drizzle was significant, as it was the only other double-digit return scored in the final.
Studs Up’s defence scored a grand total of two points, with modest returns from Bowen and Rogers unable to peg back the deficit.
THIRD/FOURTH PLACE PLAY-OFF
A high-scoring play-off saw both managers halve their overall ranks with excellent Gameweek 20 totals.
Kosh14 had both Thiaw and Thiago, as well as Gabriel Magalhaes, while Santigold owned Brentford’s hat-trick hero, Florian Wirtz, and two members of the Brighton backline that shut out Burnley.
