Round five of the latest FFS Members Cup will take place in Gameweek 35, where 16 Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers remain.

A total of £300 worth of prizes is on offer, with a full breakdown towards the bottom of this piece.

FFS MEMBERS CUP

As all former cup champions had already been eliminated, the headline news is that the highest-ranked participant, Berries (previously 847th, now 934th), lost 58-60 to Off the Clough (809k).

It’s one of four cases where a team below the half-million point has progressed. Two of these, Manshizzle (1.19m) and Hawk Eye (542k), were the joint top scorers on 76 points.

Manshizzle’s opponent, FPLJabroni, was unlucky to go out on a score of 68, as were the 69 points of Chemical76. Especially when UpminsterTrainman (106k) won a 50-50 draw with JoleTouriste (274k) because of his higher worldwide position.

However, Berries was certainly not the only high-ranked departure, as fellow top 10k manager Johnny 8 lost to Team Dependant (597k). In fact, just one of the best 10 to enter Gameweek 34 was successful, DaveZubie (12k). Nobody else in the fifth round is currently inside the top 75k.


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?

This cup competition follows the proposed Gameweek schedule below:

      hold BB til next week. Next week you can bring in some from those 3 teams depending on number of transfers you have.

      I don’t mind it all 5 defenders are good picks? Why Senenyo last on bench?

      1. DEO0420
        • 1 Year
        1 month, 17 days ago

        Semenyo looked rubbish last game and got subbed early

    Doing well in alot of mini leagues, winning 3/5 and top 3 in the 2 others. Not sure who to bench this but this is what I'm currently going with.

    Bench: Darlow Ampadu Hill Travenier

    Is my bench order correct here, toss up between Van Hecke and double Bournemouth defence or Travenier?

    Thanks

    1. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      1 month, 17 days ago

      Looks good whether you play Hill or Senesi either way. I rather splitting the risk and playing VanHecke with one of them. Even though I am saying play one Bou defender I don’t love the double so the bench order I might change to
      Tav Ampadu (Hill or Senesi)

      1. Ëð
        • 10 Years
        1 month, 17 days ago

        Senesi seems more likely to pick up BPS I think

        1. Steve Stiffler
          • 9 Years
          1 month, 17 days ago

          thanks mate

      2. Steve Stiffler
        • 9 Years
        1 month, 17 days ago

        That was my reasoning too, split the difference hope Van Hecke gets something. Do you mean youd start Ampadu and Travenier?

        1. Albrightondknight
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          1 month, 17 days ago

          Nope just bump them up the bench order and have Hill last. I would say Tav first but Ampadu has Bur but even then he is not exactly a legend for attacking potential.

  6. Albrightondknight

    Am I crazy to play 3 Che attackers and benching 2 BOU ? getting the wild card back not great after a nice FH.
    Also 1 FT - looking to hold. If Timber is not back I will go to Saliba next week with 2FT as I think the defence is good this week or would you use a FT this week. Was thinking Palmer to Eze but no Arsenal attacker minutes look secure.

    Darlow

    Gabriel O’Reilly Struijk

    BrunoF Palmer Enzo Semenyo

    Haaland (C) Pedro DCL

    Verbruggen Tavernier Hill Timber

    1. SpaceCadet
      • 12 Years
      1 month, 17 days ago

      Yes 3 che is overkill. Maybe start Tavernier over Enzo? And Enzo > Sarr next gw?

      1. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        1 month, 17 days ago

        Not a bad shout. But in that case I might bench Palmer not Enzo. If Enzo stays in the 10 - looks like what the new manager wants - he looks much better it’s not just the fa cup goal. Thanks

        1. SpaceCadet
          • 12 Years
          1 month, 17 days ago

          Could work, good luck

    2. Ëð
      • 10 Years
      1 month, 17 days ago

      I think G2G, I wouldn't make any changes. See how Chelsea do this weekend with change in manager

      1. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years

        Thanks

  7. Ëð

    Anything worth doing this week? 2FT, £0.8m ITB

    Petrovic (Verbruggen)
    Gabriel, O'Reilly, Senesi (Struijk, Van Hecke)
    Semenyo, Bruno, Tavernier, Palmer (Groß)
    Haaland, Pedro, DCL

    1. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 month, 17 days ago

      Nope to this week. More fun with upto 3FT for the double next week.

    2. Steve Stiffler
      • 9 Years

  9. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    1 month, 17 days ago

    From Gabriel, Senesi, Justin and O’Reilly, Justin the one to bench?

    1. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 month, 17 days ago

      Maybe Senesi but most might say Justin.
      Slightly better odds on a Leeds CS and more attacking,
      Senesi had the DC and how much rotation Will there be with CP. if you think CP are on a rest day go Senesi but I am not sure.

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        1 month, 17 days ago

        Cheers, difficult.. Could also bench Palmer or MGW, but the latter has form and the former is a differential

  10. Bavarian
    • 8 Years
    1 month, 17 days ago

    Who to start?

    A- Rodon (BUR-H)
    B- Hill (CRY-H)
    C- Van Hecke (NEW-A)

  11. Chemical76
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    VAR

  12. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years

    So RMT suggests to bench Semenyo from this lot. Agree?

    A) Semenyo (eve)
    B) O’Reilly (eve)
    C) Hill (CPL)
    D) Justin (BUR)

    1. Cowboy John
      • 13 Years
      1 month, 16 days ago
