The draw for the first round of the 2019/20 FFS Cup FFS Cup

This upcoming weekend sees the Paddy Power Cup V enter a manic three-week period, where 128 fantasy managers will be whittled down to a final eight entering the New Year. That’s a long way away though, and those still in the competition will be eager just to see this week’s fixtures – which can be viewed right here

Our last-remaining former-champ, Ninja_fit_saints, will have to overcome a huge gulf in class if he is to avoid going the way of his fellow past winners. His opponent, Mayhey Kid, has over 100 points more than Ninja_fit_saints and will go into the tie as heavy favourite.

Also fancying his chances this week will be Mark, who stands over 50 points ahead of his fourth round competition, Hassyg.

Last week’s top-scorer Cabaroota Beach queens has drawn s4petah, and will be confident on building on his third round momentum and progressing at s4petah’s expense.

If you’re looking for a ‘glamour-tie’ of the round, then EasyLuckyFree versus Der-Hammer95 is surely a contender. Two recognisable names going head-to-head for a place in the last 64.

With just one ‘off-day’ between Gameweek 16 and 17, I’ll endeavour to bring you both the fourth round results and the fifth round fixtures on Monday, but be warned(!)… you may not have much time to scout your opponent should you be fortunate enough to make it through this week. Good luck.

                    Ahhh it wasn't too bad, I would've been more annoyed had he not got a yellow card and grabbed a bonus. He's pretty much on my bench every week, so he can score all he likes haha.

        Ive just brought in Jags. He has had a couple of double digit scores this season and I think over the festive period he is bound to get another considering their fixtures. I assume your saying pass on their recent form (which i admit has been average).

        Go to the store and take a look - i got a laptop recently and was going to get a Tosh.. till i went in and picked it up... plasticy and nasty. Doesn't feel like it'll last... + the screen is a perfect mirror!

        + Toshibas come with nightmarish freeware pre-installed...

      I think I'll try and play Vorm until the WC myself. Pointless transferring in another keeper this week as it would be for a hit, so even a clean sheet only gets me the 4 points back. So, after this week Vorm has: eve, QPR, TOT, asv - I think I can live with those fixtures. Is this poor thinking though? My only problem is that I had a transfer plan leading up to the DGW, and drafting in a back-up keeper isn't part of it. My plan may have to be altered slightly to include Friedel, but that would mean not getting VDV back in. Any suggestions?

      You can pretty much make 999 calls from wherever on a mobile. Not sure why but they must use a different system to standard calls, which makes a lot of sense really.

          In and he doesn't play. But if he does play he has the potential to rip it up, I just can't afford that risk

              Fair enough if your keen to take a risk. Could pay off big. Hopefully Moyes isn't so stubborn to hold a ridiculous grudge against him at the expense of the team

                    way i see it is my prediction is if sess starts he'll get 2pts

                    if drenthe starts he is much more likely to score big, if he comes on as sub then i will probably (unless sess proves me wrong) lose out on 1 point, if he doesnt play at all i have moses 🙂

    Ok reckon i’ll swap Richards for Jags (Everton have 2 ‘easyish’ home games up next), and Sess for Ramires. So my team for this week should look like:

    Ruddy (Vorm)
    R Taylor, Enrique, Jones, Jags (Williams)
    VDV, Ramires, Nani, Sinclair (Rodwell)
    RVP, Ba, Ade

          I'm playing R Taylor, but more for attacking threat on top of clean sheet. (Benching Gower so slightly similar position).

          Sinclair's goal threat could be from penalty, with Newcastle's defence potentially being shakier now.

          In fact your starting 11 has 7 the same as me.

              I've gone for Ba. Think he'll grab a couple at least.

              I took a -4 as wanted to get Jones in which required getting rid of Ramsey (who I wanted rid anyway).

              Actually just noticed you have Ramires in for Sess. I still have Sess and want Ramires but am just a bit short to afford.

      Being from Norway I can't really understand how games during the winter gets called off for a little snow. I know it's because of "safety of the fans" but really, have you never seen snow/ice before? It seems kinda like America where the clubs might fear to get sued if an accident happens :p

        Yes, that is why. It is rubbish.

        Thing is we don't get enough snow to warrant spending time + money to be prepared. Unless it's a freak year, the odd day of the country stalling works out cheaper.

          Not necessarily.
          See the last time Defoe had a Europa game midweek.
          Played 3 times in 7/8 days and VDV was declared fit.

    City have such a favourable fixture list, it's ridiculous. The only time in the entire season that they have 2 hard games together is now. From here onwards they don't play a team from top 6 within a game of each other.

    I do not find this amusing.

    Attention all Wilko owners...

    Andy started the game against Besiktas last night but was substituted off for Pennant after 26 minutes. He had to be replaced due to (another) injury.

    Bottom line: get rid.

    thinking about starting Drenthe (home to NOR) over Walters.

    even if Royston doesn't play, Jono comes off the bench to save my GW.

    savvy, no?
