Gameweek 37 brings the semi-finals of the latest FFS Members Cup. Only four 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.

Barry St Germain68177,050vsTeam Dependant94489,334

Of the remaining lot, Manshizzle again enters as the lowest-ranked. But the momentum of eight green arrows has skyrocketed him 4.45 million after Gameweek 28, to 936k now.

Both he and his defeated opponent Off the Clough activated their Triple Captain chip in Double Gameweek 36, but it was decided by a four-point hit and Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s (£5.8m) goal.

He’s an unlucky loser because those 89 points were more than winning pair J Aravind (81) and UpminsterTrainman (84) managed. The latter’s adversary, Hawk Eye, put a captain’s armband on Nico O’Reilly (£5.3m) rather than Erling Haaland (£14.7m).

Meanwhile, Bench Boost user Team Dependant had a comfortable 94-68 victory.

Below are the upcoming semi-finals:

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 3 – Gameweek 33
  • Round 4 – Gameweek 34
  • 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.

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    1 month, 11 hours ago

    Thoughts on the below team and what to do with 1 ft and 0itb

    Kelleher
    Gabriel, Nunes, O’Reilly
    Palmer, Bruno, Cunha, Bruno, Kdh
    Haaland, Pedro

    Verbruggen, DCL, Cash, Bijol

    Open to losing Palmer/Pedro for more Arsenal for -4. Could also sell Nunes for MLS for free.

    Thanks in advance

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      1 month, 11 hours ago

      Not sure about MLS, but do like the idea of another Arsenal defender

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      1 month, 11 hours ago

      Palmer to saka if you can afford

  12. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 11 Years
    1 month, 11 hours ago

    Dub Andersen Rogers out
    Pickford Keane hinchelwood in

    Raya pickford
    Gab O'Reilly Munoz hill Keane
    Bruno f(c) semennyo Wilson gross hinchelwood
    Haaland Thiago Bowen

  13. Conners
    • 7 Years
    1 month, 11 hours ago

    Team below after 1FT used - which of the following looks best please? ( 1 FT / 1.0m ITB )

    Raya
    Gabriel - Saliba - O'Reilly
    Wilson - Bruno G - KDH - Semenyo - Fernandes
    Haaland - Thiago

    Kelleher / Bowen - Alderete - Hill

    a) Wilson to Hinshelwood
    b) Semenyo to Szoboszlai
    c) Roll FT
    d) Roll FT and start Bowen over Wilson or Semenyo

    1. Conners
      • 7 Years
      1 month, 11 hours ago

      ** (Just to clarify, I still have 1FT left so the moves are for free)

    2. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      1 month, 10 hours ago

      C

      1. Conners
        • 7 Years
        1 month, 10 hours ago

        Thanks

    3. WVA
      • 9 Years
      1 month, 10 hours ago

      Lovely looking team, I predict Hinshelwood to score again

      1. Conners
        • 7 Years
        1 month, 10 hours ago

        Cheers - yeah, I am tempted to bring him in. It's mostly just the fixture that makes selling Wilson a tricky decision, despite his form / minutes.

    4. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      1 month, 10 hours ago

      C

      1. Conners
        • 7 Years
        1 month, 10 hours ago

        Thanks

  14. thepancakeman123
    • 7 Years
    1 month, 10 hours ago

    Thoughts on this team? No haaland aside

    Darlow
    Gabriel, Guehi, Van Hecke
    Palmer, Saka (C), Bruno F, Semenyo
    Gyokores, Pedro, DCL

    Verbruggen, Gross, Hill, Struijk

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      1 month, 10 hours ago

      DCL versus Van Hecke seems sub optimal

      1. thepancakeman123
        • 7 Years
        1 month, 10 hours ago

        True, not sure I wanna go all in on Leeds though

    2. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      1 month, 10 hours ago

      Nice. Can't trust Chelsea double attack these days

  15. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 13 Years
    1 month, 10 hours ago

    A. Andersen to Hincapie
    B. Watkins to Gyokeres and play Hill/Richards

    Thanks.

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      1 month, 10 hours ago

      A, assuming he will play

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        1 month, 10 hours ago

        Think he will play, Arteta won't risk Cala. Unless Zubimendi starts and MLS moves to LB then I'm screwed, bit I doubt it

  16. shirtless
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    1 month, 10 hours ago

    Thinking about bringing in KDH, Keane or Lewis-Skelly? Only have 1 FT and no cash.
    However KDH would give me a benching headache. Or roll for 2 FT's next week?

    Henderson
    Gabriel O'Rielly VanHecke
    Saka(c) Bruno Cherki Hinshelwood
    Haaland Pedro Welbeck

    Darlow Tavernier Lacroix Justin

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      1 month, 10 hours ago

      Tav to KDH and bench Welbz

    2. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      1 month, 10 hours ago

      When in doubt, probably roll

      1. shirtless
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        1 month, 10 hours ago

        Yeah it's tricky. I'm more confident of an Arsenal CS than KDH outscoring Welbeck. I also think Leeds will score so Lacroix>Lewis-Skelly and bench Van Hecke might be the one.
