FFS Cup

FFS Cup first round draw revealed for Gameweek 29

The first round draw of the second FFS Cup of 2018/19 has now taken place so managers can now discover if they made it through the qualifying stage.

Just under 1,200 managers applied for the 512 places available in the first round draw, with the Gameweek 28 qualifying score set at 56 (after hits) and an overall rank of 56,202 or better needed for those hitting that total exactly.

Seven former champions – Gribude, Wild Rover, MCH, Joe, 2EyedTurk, A Manager Has No Name and donnellyc – were exempt from the qualifying score and received a bye upon submitting their applications.

Angelneo was the lucky manager to squeak through in 512th place, while Nordeast was desperately unfortunate to miss out. He also had a Gameweek 28 score of 56 but was below the cut-off for overall rank, currently at 62,499.

    Are most people not using a chip for the upcoming blank gw using their transfers now just for players who play in gw31?

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 28 days ago

      Personally yes. I can get a similar team to anyone free hitting. If you only have 2or3 it wont work though

    2. Goat
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 28 days ago

      Currently have 8 for GW31 so don’t need to use a chip

    3. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 28 days ago

      For players that play in GW31 and 33. One approach is to use the FH to bring in the DGW32'ers once we know all the re-arranged fixtures.

      1. adidasOriginals
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 28 days ago

        I've got 8(2 Everton though) for gw31 and 1ft for this week - most obvious transfer is Pogba for Son but not 100% on whether to pull the trigger! Thoughts?

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 28 days ago

          Son doesn't play GW31 and possibly not 31 if Brighton progress in the FA Cup.

          Have a look at this:
          https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1waMbLlXEpsu3QJW8yv746phr9IWIO-pkk-cNfM3P0wM/edit#gid=96006784

    4. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Yep using transfers to get a full 11 out for gw31

      1. adidasOriginals
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 28 days ago

        Its tricky getting a decent 11 for gw31 - some scrappy fixtures that week!

    5. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 28 days ago

      Got all three left...considering the FH for blank gw...

      What was your score last he?

    2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 28 days ago

      Read the qualifying criteria again

      1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 28 days ago

        Particularly the bit about OR

        1. Poseidon.
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 28 days ago

          Irrelevant. He got 49

          1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 28 days ago

            Hilarious.

            1. Poseidon.

      100 percent

    2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 28 days ago

    Fabianski
    Robertson - TAA - Bennett

      Hazard ?

        • 8 Years

        Could be a danger

    Just seen my opponent is Norwegian, and is one of 341 in the top 2k....

    Need to learn some Norwegian FPL techniques...!

    Any advice appreciated!!

      Not sure about transfers, but Kola ahead of Son? Arsenal away are a different beast...

      Kola is prime for a transfer, Chilwell and go to next week with money and FTs to go?

        Thanks - need 3 defenders though - so who to start out of front 8?

    Fabianski the best keeper up to GW33? (FH32)

    Are owners happy with him?

    Apart from trolling, can you please give me some reasons why not to captain hazard this gw? Have pogba who is currently my close second, just see and opportunity here to climb the rankings if he does well.

    1. tricky80

      Doesn't have great form, plus others have better records against their opponents this weekend.

    2. Kell_oggs
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 28 days ago

      Pogba enough of a differential to climb

      1. Garlana
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 28 days ago

        Is he? I thought he'd be popular

        1. Kell_oggs
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 28 days ago

          23% leader in poll, hardly high effective ownership
          Definitely enough to climb if you think he's the best option. Safer than Hazard anyway

    3. fr3d
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 28 days ago

      His form.

    4. Garlana
      • 9 Years

      Appreciate the responses, I'm still going to risk it I think.

    any chance that kiki femenia might start?

    what did javi gracia say in the press conference ?

  20. Dannyb

    Son and Laca to Mane and Higuian -4 or just Laca to Higgy/Vardy?

    Of course, wondered why I had such a bad week, cup qualifying, always have a bad week when it’s qualifying!

    How come both cups never publicised this season. Missed both of them.

  23. Klaren
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 28 days ago

    Which one out of these 4 should I play:

    A) Felipe Anderson
    B) Schar
    C) Zabaleta
    D) AWB

    Currently leaning towards B or C.

  24. Merlinho

    Start two in my draft team from Snodgrass, Stones, Mitrovic, Chilwell?

    I’m on Stones and Snodgrass currently.

  25. Merlinho
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 28 days ago

    Kola to Matip for a hit with BGW in mind - yay or nay?

    I’m thinking of bringing him in to start instead of Mitrovic; the hit will be needed at some point to get enough players out in BGW31 so why not now....

    I'm playing bench boost with the following bench (only downer is keeper). Is it wise? The only other week I see a potential bench boost is gwk 38.. Leicester may concede but after what TAA and Robertson did wingbacks can trouble Watford - Barnes I reckon has a goal in him too this week.

    Speroni Chillwell Barnes Pereira.

    The rest of my team is

    Etheridge

    Robertson Doherty Shaw

    Hazard Pogba Salah Mane Jota

    Jiminez Rashford

    Re. Captain:

    (A) Hazard or (B) Pogba?
