FFS Cup

The latest FFS Cup fixtures and results

We’ve reached the semi-final stage of our second FFS Cup of the season.

The quarter-finals were resolved after the final two matches of Double Gameweek 35 on Wednesday evening and all of our semi-finalists broke the 100-point barrier in this round of fixtures.

Roger150 did likewise but was unfortunate to come up against
Ibra-gum, who prevailed by 123 points to 109.

Ibra-gum is the lowest-ranked manager left in the competition but his successful Bench Boost in Gameweek 35 lifted him 97,000 places to just outside the top 100k.

FFS moderator Rotation’s Alter Ego continued his fine season with a 110-71 win over HPCAMPBELL, who had an overall rank of 262 coming into Double Gameweek 35.

Rotation’s Alter Ego now has an OR of 1,716, with a Triple Captain chip still to use.

Our highest-ranked remaining manager is LOKOMOTIV, who is positioned at 1,298th – that being his best rank of the season so far.

LOKOMOTIV, who beat dark91 102-81 in the quarter-finals, also has a Triple Captain chip still up his sleeve.

Skogen89‘s successful deployment of the Bench Boost lifted him inside the top 20k for the first time since Gameweek 10 and helped see off Hi Ho Silva Lining by 115 points to 82.

Skogen89 is another FPL manager who still has their Triple Captain chip intact.

The full quarter-final results were as follows:

Hi Ho Silva Lining8262631vsSkogen8911517965
HPCAMPBELL71829vsRotation’s Alter Ego1101716
dark9181701011vsLOKOMOTIV1021298
Ibra-gum123101067vsRoger15010973131

The two Fantasy managers who lurk just outside the top 1k, Rotation’s Alter Ego and LOKOMOTIV, have been kept apart in the semi-finals.

The full draw is as follows:

    Need to replace KDB and already have aguero and mane-

    A) KDB & Lacazette- Sterling & Zaha
    B) KDB & Eriksen- sterling & delafeou

    1. My neck my back my Saed Kol…

      B) supposed to be salah not sterling

    2. AndyCook
        5 years, 1 day ago

        B. I still think Lacazette is a nice option too.

        1. AndyCook
            5 years, 1 day ago

            Zaha better in my eyes than Deulofeu. Not much in it

          Wouldn't be keen on Del - tough games plus cup final. If you're capt mane I'd go A

        Which 1 would people pick out of

        Valery, Doherty, Duffy

        Alternatively, I can pick Ryan instead of Foster and just choose between Valery and Doherty?

        1. AndyCook
            5 years, 1 day ago

            Doherty. Would probably play Ryan as surely Wolves will score?!

            I'm playing Duffy over Doherty as I think he's due a rest. He still tends to get a cameo when dropped though so would rather 90 minutes for Duffy.

              • 11 Years

              This is a good point that I hadn't considered....

          Salah and Mane nailed vs Huddersfield?

          Currently have Salah on TC but thinking of Vardy as cheeky differential.

          1. AndyCook
              5 years, 1 day ago

              Confident they will both play. That’s a big risk, good luck if you take it!

            Best to have for the run-in?

            A) Mane + Eriksen
            B) Mane + Firmino (-4)

            1. AndyCook
                5 years, 1 day ago

                A, not sure Firmino has shown enough goal involvement - think you are relying on them thumping teams

              • 12 Years
              5 years, 1 day ago

              Is Matip an option to get Mane in for a -4?

              Trippier/Ericsson to Matip/Mane(Tc)

              Or TAA in for a Trippier only...save TC for week after...

                • 7 Years
                5 years, 1 day ago

                Gomez is looming... I would stay well clear of Matip.

              2. AndyCook
                  5 years, 1 day ago

                  Risky if you want him for more than 1 week but price is good. Alexander Arnold not immune to rotation though maybe?

                • 14 Years
                5 years, 1 day ago

                Rico, gunn or other keeper for 4.4 for season end

                1. syke63
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 10 Years
                  5 years, 1 day ago

                  To play all three games I'd pick Gunn but if you already have a SOU def prob Rico.

                5 years, 1 day ago

                I can bring in either, but who to bring in ? Any advice appreciated

                A/ Trent Arnold or
                B/ Firmino ?

                Thanks in advance

                      5 years, 1 day ago

                      Thanks for the advice it just cements my gut feeling . Cue a Firmino hat trick !

                  • grumpyman

                    • 8 Years
                    5 years, 1 day ago

                    Firmino nailed, definitely a chance Trent gets rotated. B for me.

                    1. Bojangles
                      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                      • 12 Years
                      5 years, 1 day ago

                      Watching SkySportsNews Klopp pretty much indicated that there would be no changes . Gomez is an obvious worry but Matips place may be in more jeopardy ? Its just the set pieces that may end up swinging it for me between the two, but my head says Liverpool striker playing Cruddersfield at home ..no brainer .

                  5 years, 1 day ago

                  Is Llorente or Eriksen more likely to start this week?

                  Can do Eriksen & Deeney to Mané and Llorente
                  Or
                  Sterling & Deeney to Mane and zaha/Wilson

                  which front line strategy do you prefer till end of season

                  A: +0.4m
                  Sterling • Son • MANE (TC) • POGBA • Jwp
                  Kun • Jimenez Gray

                  Gw36: Bench Jwp/Gray
                  Gw37: Jwp + Gray >> Elliot + Rashford
                  Gw38: Jimenez >> Mitro

                  B: +1.4m
                  Sterling • Son • SALAH (TC) • ELLIOT • Jwp
                  Kun • Jimenez Gray

                  Gw36: Bench Elliot
                  Gw37: Gray >> Benteke
                  Gw38: Jimenez >> Mitro

                  Need to bench one:

                  A) Wilson
                  B) Jimenez
                  C) Jota

                    Probably C

                    A produces when not expected

                  Lloris
                  Robertson Laporte Duffy
                  Mane(TC) Son Sterling Jota
                  Aguero Jiminez Gray

                  Speroni Camarasa Doherty Bednarek

                  Is this GTG with a -4 hit ?!

                    • 12 Years
                    5 years, 1 day ago

                    Replied on previous page. Can you do Camarasa to Odoi instead of the GK transfer?

                    1. Bubbles1985

                      Cheers, I lost the post!

                      Not keen on losing Camarasa while Cardiff are still fighting...

                      Losing Foster frees up more funds. Just not sure if its mad to take a hit for an enabler?!

                      Thoughts on Vardy>Llorente and Jota> Mane for a hit.
                      Already own Salah and a bit reluctant to get rid of Vardy but ML rivals both have Mane

                        • 12 Years
                        5 years, 1 day ago

                        I wouldn't make that move.

                      2. AndyCook
                          5 years, 1 day ago

                          Salah to Mane to block? Or do they have Salah too?

                          1. scottmac

                            5 years, 1 day ago

                            Keep Salah and bring in Mane to block, so will have both. To be fair I want both anyway

                        Ryan
                        Duffy, TAA, Doherty
                        Mane (c) Eriksen, KDB, Son
                        Rash, Kun, Jimi

                        Foster, Ward Prowse, Boly, Valery

                        A) Eriksen and KDB to Sterling and Fraser -4
                        or
                        B) Bolly and KDB to VVD and Fraser -4

                        More tempted by B to get double Pool defense.

                        1. AndyCook
                            5 years, 1 day ago

                            I don’t think I’d take a -4 to get Van Dijk over Boly this week. Fraser not too popular either. Silva?

                            1. DJfunkymonk

                              Could be a good shout. Think I'm just getting dragged in by the Huddersfield game and the run in.

                                  5 years, 1 day ago

                                  Wolves might keep Watford out anyway. Can always do it next week if you still want to

                                    In a game like that I can’t see Van Dijk getting bonus without scoring so you will probably at best get your 4 back

                                    I could lose Laporte or alternatively do Gray to Ings to fund Erik to Mane.

                                        I guess you might not play Ings anyway looking at your team but I guess I really meant was you can’t do it without a hit. I might be tempted to do it but there’s not much in it

                                          Unfortunately I need the hit.

                                              Ah you got 133 last week - you can burn 4 points. Live a little!

                                            What about Gray to Llorente to fund the move

                                      Thisisanfield.com has Gomez starting ahead of TAA due to team rotation given its Huddersfield and Barca on the horizon!
                                      I’ve Mane and Robbo already and was all set to do Suggy - TAA FT, this has me thinking now!

                                        Owning Jimenez does not affect Jota's potential. Only with bonuspoint system where both most likely cant get 3p.

                                        I have TAA and Mane already. Re getting a third Liverpool player, I have narrowed it down to three options:

                                        1. Lloris/Gray/Eriksen out for Salah/Hamer/Crouch for an 8 point hit (would captain Salah)

                                        2. Eriksen/Gray out for Deulofeu/Firmino for a 4 point hit (would captain Mane)

                                        3. Just stick with TAA and Mane (would captain Mane)

                                        Thoughts?

                                              Love lurking on Twitter sometimes.

                                              LFC Twitter is in rampant melt down that Ederson got picked over Allison for TOTY.

                                              It really shouldn't matter that much, surely.

                                              Personally I feel TAA was lucky to get his spot over Doherty. But I don't think I should share that opinion with them.

                                                        On the premier league show they were saying there’s nothing between the two keepers. I think the show against Spurs made my mind up though - just.

                                                    Agree with you there.

                                                    I think Ederson deserves more credit than he gets as City's defence really isn't as good as people make it out to be IMHO.

                                                    Walker hasn't had a great season, Mendy has been injured, Laporte has done well but Vinny K is a red card waiting to happen every time I see him play. Otamendi is so suspect too.

                                                    No Van Dijk in front of him so Ederson > Allisson for me!

                                                        Is it worth looking to find 1.6m elsewhere to do KDB --> Sterling?

                                                          Only immediate move that comes to mind is Eriksen --> 7.6m.

                                                          Will Eriksen get 90 this week though?
