Gameweek 36 brings the quarter-finals of the latest FFS Members Cup, where eight 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

In this unpredictable competition, the sole manager to start Gameweek 35 inside the world’s top 75,000, DaveZubie (12k), achieved a small green arrow while also being eliminated in a 56-58 defeat against the Wildcard-using Team Dependant (586k).

Because of this, the best-placed quarter-finalists are J Aravind (68k) and UpminsterTrainman (85k). Joining the latter on a high 65 points was Off the Clough (724k) – one of four left that’s beneath half a million.

He’ll meet the lowest-ranked Manshizzle in Gameweek 36, who rose to 1.11 million after defeating GaribaldiT (179k) 63-48.

Hawk Eye (593k) could be labelled a lucky winner, only requiring 51 points to progress, as SpartaBhoy (146k) went out on 59.

Additionally, there was a 58-58 draw between ploskon23 (184k) and Barry St Germain (126k), decided by a slightly higher global placing.


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:

Fantasy Football Scout Members Cup Round Dates

  • Qualifying – Gameweek 30
  • Round 1 – Gameweek 31
  • Round 2 – Gameweek 32

  • Round 5 – Gameweek 35
  • Quarter-Final – Gameweek 36
  • Semi-Finals – Gameweek 37
  • Final and third-place play-off – Gameweek 38

WHEN ARE THE FIXTURES RELEASED?

Where possible, the upcoming round’s draw will take place before each Gameweek deadline.

      DCL-> Gyokeres

        Not enough money

    Thoughts on these moves for GW 36? 2FT, 0.0 ITB.

    Virgil + Gordon -> Kadioglu + Sarr

    & then Rogers to Saka for GW37?

    Raya Dubravka
    Gabriel Virgil O’Reilly Hill Rodon
    Bruno Gordon MGW Rogers Cherki
    Haaland J.Pedro Thiago

      okay do it

      Would prefer Lacroix and Minteh, or 2nd best Canvot and Minteh, if you need cash for Saka move. What about Thiago to Welbeck and Virgil to Lacroix, enough cash for Saka in 37?

      1. Count of Monte Hristo
        • 13 Years
        1 hour, 13 mins ago

        Minteh barely gets any points, I would avoid him.

    Saliba > Munoz GW36, then Palmer > Saka GW37?

    1. Pompel
      • 12 Years

      Why not both this gw?

      1. Don’t want to take the hit, I’m very highly ranked, even though I played Stewth it’s Stuijk over Joao Pedro last GW.

          Taking hits is much more fun - my OR sucks though 😀

        flying would be pretty good ,could abuse dcl and gyokeres from 5 feet above them and just fly off,wouldnt have to pay thousands to watch either

        1. With flapping arm movements? I think that would be better.

        Is Gabriel worth two free transfers this week?
        Would be Justin & Pedro to Gabriel & DCL
        Would be benching Pedro/dcl
        Zero Arsenal Defensive cover

        Where do you manage your FPL team? I manage mine in the bath.

        If you were thinking about taking a wizz in the bath, would you tell anyone?

          If you're struggling to pee, going in the bath actually helps.

            I use the shower head to get things going. Just difficult to affix the hose to my whatsit

                I’m now in Barcelona with a view of the Sagrada Familia, but the real joy is that there is a bidet. I’m still getting used to scooping out the poop, but it’s worth it, if only for the novelty

        0, 1, or 2 Palace defenders for this week? Would doubling up on Arsenal D actually be better until end of season?

      • The Knights Template
        • 12 Years
        1 hour, 20 mins ago

        Struijk third on bench or straight to dungeon?

      • The Knights Template
        • 12 Years
        1 hour, 20 mins ago

        Codpiece - well-worn or ornate?

      • Atimis
        • 9 Years
        1 hour, 20 mins ago

        Feels a trap a bit as both DCL and JPedro could do well this week but at the same time they are template so you are really not gaining anything anyway. Would you already sell DCL or JPedro for Gyo? Alternatively wild punt on Richa? Sesko (if fit)? Other?

      • The Knights Template
        • 12 Years
        1 hour, 19 mins ago

        Still in the bath, if that helps?

      • The Knights Template
        • 12 Years

        Hee-Chan for the run-in? The Wolves players will be looking for new suitors.

        If you don't have any Crystal Palace players, is it worth getting any in? We have no idea who will start both games and, when it comes to the Premier League, they are well and truly on the beach.

        1. La Hot-croix-bun!

            The bun has a soggy bottom ... from sitting on the bench in the double!

        With 3 gameweeks to go, how many points behind your target rank would warrant a differential captain -- for example this week someone other than Haaland? 25 points behind? 50 points behind?

      • FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        1 hour, 12 mins ago

        If you owned Bowen and Thiago, what would you do? Bench? Sell for Welbeck or Gyökeres?

      • Conners
        • 7 Years
        1 hour, 12 mins ago

        If you have triple Arsenal defence, would you stick, and target a differential from another team, or sell one to bring in Saka / Gyokeres?

        1. FPL Virgin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          39 mins ago

          Zoph will castigate you and say you've snookered yourself there. You need at least one attacker for Burnley in 37.

          1. Conners

            Yeah, possibly.

            But what are the chances I pick the correct one for a single GW?

        If you have vanquished over 13.003 million players, are there any more worlds to conquer?

        If you only had one Arsenal slot left, who would you go for ... Gyökeres or Saka?

        1. Pornchef
          • 2 Years
          1 hour, 8 mins ago

          I've got a feeling Gyokeres could do well in in th same boat

          Sensible head says Saka but heart says Gyokeres scores big across the last 3 games and gets a few pens

        Play Verbruggen (WOL) or Raya (whu)?

        West Ham have scored considerably more goals at home than Wolves have managed away this season.
        Have a defender from Brighton and Arsenal playing too.

        1. Silecro
          • 8 Years
          11 mins ago

          Always target Wolves. And Brighton themselves are good defensively of late, so Verbruggen

          1. Brighton at home have conceded roughly the same as Arsenal on the road in the EPL. So yeah the maths favours Brighton.

        I’m in Barcelona till Sunday morning. What can I do? Should I be concerned?

    3. Pornchef

      A. Saka to Prob

      C. DCL to Gyokeres

      1. Pornchef

      A) Wilson, Watkins to Saka, Osula for free this week?
      Or
      B) Stick to the original plan of Rogers, Watkins to Saka, (well originally it was gonna be J Pedro for last 2 games but not confident on that one no more) a striker, next week after holding the Villa pair for Burnley ?

    5. Morning all,

      Is Mateta a good choice or not nailed to play? Any other Palace fw/mid better option?

      Thanks!
