This evening we reveal the managers who have made it through to the third round of the 13th instalment of our open to all Fantasy Premier League cup competition.

For this latest contest there are more than £1,000 worth of prizes for UK based entrants courtesy of our partner FanDuel, as well as £350 in Amazon vouchers to the top three managers at the end of the competition.

Last year’s winner I Casillas Winning’s score of 55 saw him overcome Tufs to set up a round three clash with Allezlechef. Just 10,000 places separates this pair in the overall rankings.

Gribude is another former cup holder to make it through. He beat Allgonepozzo in round two and faces Cok3y5murf next.

Ex-champ MCH also progresses, after seeing off Shem Bayley. He takes on community regular Rhinos in round three.

Sadly, the second round marked the end of the road for another former winner, Ninja Fit Saints, who was beaten 70-49 by Jurgen.

The highest scoring manager of the round and recipient of a £30 FanDuel credit was DaJoeyNdo Show, whose sensational score of 95 left Stoorey’s tally of 40 for dust and saw him leap from 346,603rd in the overall rankings to 57,443rd.

Teguh D Puncak, who he faces next, is unlikely to be worried though as he sits more than 50,000 places higher within the top 5,000.

The four next high scoring managers, who all receive a £10 FanDuel credit, were Captainjpd, Delt_eple, DJDave1979 and Dogba.

Andy85wsm, the competition’s only Scoutcast representative to make it past the first round, marches on. He beat Lardy to set up a third round tie with Anuliz.

Two other members of our moderator and contributor team also make it through. Greenwindmill will face Archie, while Stilicho squares up to lowlifegimpe in round three.

Other notable match ups in the next round include Lateriser12’s encounter with The TinMan, Parm’s tie with TommyJ and What the Fans Say community article writer Bolivian Seaman’s clash with Al Fresco.

The manager to draw the short straw in round three is 433,854 ranked Malvern Angells. He faces Dempele, who at 177th is the highest placed manager remaining in the tournament.

The second round results can be found via this link, while the full third round draw can be found here.

    Utd win in the EFL cup against poor opposition and everyone wants to lump on. They only managed a1-1 draw against the same opposition in the league, this site isdo knee jerky

    1. Pasqualinho
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 days ago

      I once brought in Darren Bent after a League Cup hatty. If that's not a warning, I don't know what is.

  2. Live Lad
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 days ago

    I'm 0.1 short of making a direct transfer from Snoddy to Lallana. Should I get him next week?

    I'm playing 352.
    Currently Sanchez, Hazard, Firmino, Snoddy, Siggy, Austin, AGUERO (Anichebe).

    Raise cash from:

    Foster, Pickford
    Koscielny, PVA, Stones, Holebas, Amat

    1. OzilFozzil
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 days ago

      Downgrade Stones to raise the cash

    2. ILOVEBAPS
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 days ago

      I wouldn't get him at all.

      1. TokyoRisingSun
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 days ago

        This.

        1. Live Lad
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 days ago

          If not who? I can raise up to 7.5 for that slot.

      2. Live Lad
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 days ago

        I don't mean this week. After he has got a game maybe. 7.0 is cheap.

    3. McQueen
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 days ago

      Stones to Cedric gets you 0.1M. 😉 Wait for Lallana. He may not start if he's declared OK for the game.

      1. Live Lad
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 days ago

        Thanks.

    trying to get my head around the fact that the plane carrying those people may have ran out of fuel..how do you explain that to the deceased's loved ones?? that is breathtaking negligence if thats the case

    1. TokyoRisingSun
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 days ago

      It sounds to me like it's something that the pilot did many times before

    2. Your Man With The Hair
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 days ago

      Easy to say that, but small, unexpected changes in weather have huge effects on fuel consumption.
      Plus, a lot of these smaller airlines will only be able to afford to fill up the minimum that is required.

      1. Get up ya bum
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 8 days ago

        Do top level brazilian clubs fly on budget airlines? I'd have thought they would not skimp on cost when flying their team, no?

        1. Christina.
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 8 days ago

          talk that airport where they had to re fuel was closed at night so they skipped the refueling.

          crazy

          1. Get up ya bum
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 8 days ago

            Jeez 🙁

        2. Your Man With The Hair
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 8 days ago

          I really can't comment on the financial strength of Brazilian clubs, but I suppose the only thing that might give some perspective is their stadium only holds 22k people, so whilst they're in the top tier, I don't know how rich they may or may not be?

          1. Get up ya bum
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 8 days ago

            Oh they are rich, at least the bigger ones are. Especially by Brazilian standards. Certainly rich enough to not skimp on safety. That doesn't mean they don't though eh.

            1. Your Man With The Hair
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 8 days ago

              Yea, I know the bigger clubs are obviously very wealth, I'm just not sure about the bottom of the league. Whilst the Hulls and Sunderlands (no offence meant) of this world are crazy wealthy, I'm not sure if it's the same for Brazil.
              But it's difficult to have a proper take on it without many of the facts, terrible tragedy.

              1. Get up ya bum
                • 16 Years
                9 years, 8 days ago

                Yeah true. No point making assumptions eh.
                I'm amazed there is actually survivors.

                1. Christina.
                  • 15 Years
                  9 years, 8 days ago

                  One of the survivors died later. One survivor's leg was amputated.

                  Sad.

                  1. Get up ya bum
                    • 16 Years
                    9 years, 8 days ago

                    🙁

      2. ILOVEBAPS
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 days ago

        If an airline can't afford to fill a plane with fuel for the flight then they should not be an airline.

        1. Get up ya bum
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 8 days ago

          yeah, seriously.
          Did they have to divert off course for weather or anything? Maybe were leaking fuel?

        2. Irish Madridista ⭐
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 8 days ago

          +1

    3. Get up ya bum
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 days ago

      Crazy man

    4. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 days ago

      May have been leaking fuel.

    5. Worzel Gummidge
        9 years, 8 days ago

        Apparently the pilot decided to not refuel the plane, the journey distance was at the upper limit of the planes fuel capabilities and they were asked to fly around for 20 minutes waiting for an opportunity to land (another playing called in an emergency). Only when they called in a fuel emergency did the ACT start trying to help by which point it was too late. It is also regulatory to have 45 minutes worth of emergency fuel to get to an alternative airport but I am not sure if it did but due to the journey distance it was used or if this was not done as the pilot decided to not refuel. Either way it is all pointing to pilot negligence IMO.

      Any pressers today?

      1. Phil Dagger ⭐
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 days ago

        7 I think

        1. McQueen
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 days ago

          Cheers.

      2. A.T
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 8 days ago

        Seven Premier League managers speak to media
        First up: Hull (09:00). Selected: Spurs (12:30), Leicester (13:00)
        BBC have gone a bit vague recently unfortunately.

        1. McQueen
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 days ago

          Thanks mate, appreciate it!

    7. NevilleSouthall
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 days ago

      I made 2FT already
      Coutinho --> Siggy
      Benteke --> Austin

      What should i do next? 2,3m bank

      A) Aguero --> Kane (-4) and Redmond --> Hazard next gw
      B) Redmond --> Alli/Eriksen (-4)
      C)do nothing and trust swansea; )

      1. A.T
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 8 days ago

        C

      2. ILOVEBAPS
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 days ago

        C. Same dilemma but am holding firm.

      3. Chris_White
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 days ago

        I'm on C. Start praying.

      4. Moin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 days ago

        C

      5. Irish Madridista ⭐
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 8 days ago

        I'd be tempted by B.

    8. Kizza_10
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 days ago

      Play Heaton (if fit) or Pickford ?

      1. _Gunner
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 days ago

        I'd go Pickford, Burnley's away results are terrible.

      2. Chris_White
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 days ago

        Pick

      3. fiveyears
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 days ago

        I am playing Pickford of the two

      4. daviyb
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 days ago

        I'll play Heaton every game when fit, regardless of oppo... I reckon he has potential for big points weeks when you may least expect. Over the course of season he'll outscore all other keepers I reckon bar maybe Courtois

    9. nkhoughton
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 days ago

      Pickford
      Daniels Nyom Vertongen
      Hazard Alexis Firmino Siggy Allen
      Costa Kane

      Heaton Anichebe Alonso Fodder

      A) play AOA? For Anichebe
      B) swap defender? For alonso
      C) Do both A & B?

      1. fiveyears
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 days ago

        A for me, AOA isn't a brilliant chip so when it looks like you could benefit just go for it

        Daniels out for me

      2. Moin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 days ago

        B) Would Start Alonso ahead of Daniels

    10. Jinswick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 days ago

      Sanchez vs Kane for the armband. Who and why?

      Currently on Kane (at home and on pens to a leaky SWA), but it feels somewhat safer with Sanchez (form form form)

      1. Man Chest Hair United
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 days ago

        Sanchez more points per goal and I think both will score

        1. Jinswick
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 8 days ago

          Yep, plus the extra point if he gets a clean sheet. But, Kane is more likely to bag a brace/hat-trick given the fixture.

      2. Chris_White
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 days ago

        You have to go with Kane here. Swansea are absolutely shocking at the back. West Ham will be up for the derby although they are in horrific shape as well.

    11. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 days ago

      This time last season Vardy became the first player to score in 11 consecutive Premier League matches. This season he hasn't had a shot on target since September 10th. Now that is a fall from grace.

      1. Get up ya bum
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 8 days ago

        What a rollercoaster his career is becoming

      2. Costa's Counsellor
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 days ago

        You thinking about getting him in?

      3. andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 8 days ago

        Sounds like he's due!

      4. Sjaugen
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 days ago

        Are they filming his/Leicester movie yet?

        1. Danno - Emre Canada
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 days ago

          The sequel will be a tad boring

          1. Konstaapeli
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 8 days ago

            Haha

    12. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 days ago

      Play Holebas & Brunt (hope for 0-0) or play Kelly or Amat

      Looks like I'm praying for 0-0 or attacking returns...

      1. Man Chest Hair United
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 days ago

        Both baggies

        1. TheTinman
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 days ago

          I think you mean brunt and Holebas?

          So thanks

      2. makaveli123
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 days ago

        HoleBrunt

        1. TheTinman
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 days ago

          Yeah thought so

          1. daviyb
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 8 days ago

            I'd just be concerned of Brunt's pitch time with Chadli back...if Brunt indeed can cement a place, then he's a wonderful buy. Holebas fit also?

    13. Man Chest Hair United
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 days ago

      Morgan to cedric worth a minus 4 ?

      1. Karan_G14
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 days ago

        Yes it is. Leicester can't defend.

        1. Man Chest Hair United
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 8 days ago

          Yeah your probably right was going to wait till next week for free but the hit might pay for itself this week leaving me a free transfer next week

      2. TheTinman
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 days ago

        Don't they play Sunderland?

        1. Man Chest Hair United
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 8 days ago

          Yep but they have Defoe and he is in form

          1. TheTinman
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 8 days ago

            I wouldn't do it for a hit. Taking a hit before Sunderland seems like.madness

            1. TheTinman
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 8 days ago

              After all, have you ever seen a Mackem in Milan?

      3. FPLtfs
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 days ago

        not for a hit

      4. ILOVEBAPS
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 days ago

        Defoe is my captain.

    14. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 days ago

      Redmond or Allen

      Playing Austin already.

      Got to be Allen right?

      1. MQ
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 days ago

        No question... Redmond has been awful... I'm shipping him out next week.

        1. TheTinman
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 days ago

          You bringing in Zaha then?

          1. MQ
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 8 days ago

            Maybe Fer... depending on the funds as I'll drop Lukaku and get Kane as well next week!

    15. MQ
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 days ago

      What is the possibility that Lukaku runs rogue v. Man U?

      1. makaveli123
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 days ago

        19%

        1. MQ
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 8 days ago

          Love that prime digit!

      2. Karan_G14
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 days ago

        Could get a goal maybe.

      3. kalmoffit
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 days ago

        30%

        1. MQ
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 8 days ago

          So definitely not a captain!

    16. darthwader
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 days ago

      Aguero->Kane for -4?

      1. TheTinman
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 days ago

        Not a move I would ever do but I guess it could work this week

        1. kalmoffit
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 8 days ago

          It won't

      2. daviyb
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 days ago

        defo not for a hit

      3. darthwader
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 days ago

        Cheers Kun it is then

    17. Jimjam
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 days ago

      Heaton, Pickford
      Vertonghen, Cedric, Holebas, Evans, Amat
      Sanchez, Firmino, Sigurdsson, Allen, De Roon
      Aguero, Costa, Austin

      2.3 in bank

      Any suggestions for my next move?

      1. Whats the Mata?
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 days ago

        get a tot player
        alli, kane or eriksen

    18. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 days ago

      Final one. Again should be obvious.

      Karius or Pickford?

      1. kalmoffit
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 days ago

        Pickford

    19. Chris_White
      • 14 Years

          I guess that extra million will come in handy although I fancy Rose to outscore him in the short run. Cheers.

      It's a bit rubbish, the FanDuel Cup, isn't it? You can't see your team's fixtures or results without wading through the entire fixture list, which takes a long time. The table at least needs a search function. Or put teams in alphabetical order.
