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:

Skogen8917965vsRotation’s Alter Ego1716

    1. adams_6
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 day ago

      Nah

    2. Eytexi

      Very tempted.

    3. barracuda

      5 years, 1 day ago

      Ballsy

    4. De Gea is GOAT
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 day ago

      Considering it too!

    5. TRE2
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 day ago

      Risky, but potentially high ceiling if he plays 90

  4. adams_6
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 1 day ago

    Vardy and Ericksen to Llorente and Salah -4
    Y or N

    1. Balls of Steel
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 day ago

      Not worth it

  5. TheDragon
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 day ago

    Bottomed

    Play 2 (at least 1 must be a defender)

    A) Dunk (already playing Duffy)
    B) Doherty
    C) Gray
    D) JWP

    The rest of my team is good....honest!

    3. TheDragon
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 day ago

      Thanks all.

      Don’t fancy JWP given the fixture? B&C play each other too

  6. Pukki Party
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 day ago

    For rest of season would you rather have

    A) Aguero
    B ) Salah

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 day ago

      B

    2. laveshp
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 day ago

      I know this is not the answer you're looking for.. but both. They are both Golden Boot contenders

    3. Balls of Steel
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 day ago

      B more minutes and coming back into form, although I'm fully expecting Kun to get back on the scoresheet against Burnley

    4. TRE2
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 day ago

      B

    5. TheDragon
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 day ago

      B for this week, then A for 37 and 38.

  7. Merlinho
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 1 day ago

    Who’s better for the run in lads, Eriksen or Son?

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 day ago

      Guess Son

    2. adams_6
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 day ago

      Son likely to get a rest v Bournemouth
      Eriksen chance of a rest v West Ham or Bournemouth
      Probably Son.

    3. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 day ago

      Son

    4. Kanga roo
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 day ago

      Sonny due to no CL

  8. tbhogal
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 1 day ago

    Guys, is this lot G2G this week? Got Mane in any other changes this week?

    Ryan (Foster)
    Duffy, Robbo, LaPorte (Doherty, Valery)
    Mane (TC), Sterling, Son, Jota (Hojberg)
    Jimi, Kun, Llorente...

    1. laveshp

      5 years, 1 day ago

      Looks solid

  9. Beard of Zeus
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 day ago

    Duffy or Gray?

    1. laveshp
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 day ago

      To play? Gray (Watford gray I assume)

    2. danishdynamite
      • 13 Years

    Aguero, Jimenez,Lacazette

    Foster,Redmond,Yoshida Valery 0FT 0.3m itb

    Feels wrong to bench 3 Southampton players with a home game but can’t justify playing any of them ahead of the starting 11.
    Bench Jimenez to accommodate Redmond maybe?

    1. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 day ago

      Well done on Jota last week - so very nearly followed your example but stayed with KdB. Grrrrrr

      1. The 12th Man
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 day ago

        Thanks. I nearly switched it to KDB but Jota has some good form at home . Glad I did .

    2. barracuda
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 day ago

      Nailed it!

    3. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 day ago

      I don’t like the idea but it may just be the time to bench Jim.

      1. The 12th Man
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 day ago

        The reason why I’m thinking about benching Jimmy is I’m chasing a 29 point deficit.
        We both have Jimenez but he doesn’t have Redmond.
        Same reason I’m captaining Salah this week.

        1. pingissimus
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 day ago

          I’d go for it in that case.

          Jim has been sensational of course but mostly in a steady way. I don’t see him hurting that much. And Jota is decent cover of course.

          1. The 12th Man
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 1 day ago

            Yeh he has. I’ve only just brought him in on my WC two weeks a go. Maybe it’s me that’s broken him. Lol

    4. Eytexi
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 day ago

      Personally would bench Jota for Redmond.

      1. The 12th Man
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 day ago

        Yeh it’s 50/50 on that one.
        Jotas playing so well though.

    5. gunnerlover
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 day ago

      I have the same dilemma and have Redmond and Long. I’ll be playing both and benching Jota and Doherty

    6. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 day ago

      Stuck in a similar situation.

      Ings vs Jota
      Doherty vs Bednarek

      Both look 50-50 calls.

      1. Christina.
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 1 day ago

        your livp players sorted?

        I'm having 2nd thought about losing Kun for -4. Too risky I reckon.

        1. Karan14
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 1 day ago

          Robbo & Mane(TC)

          Can't justify selling Aguero & Eriksen for -4 to get Salah.

          This week he might out outscore them but there's another 2 gameweeks after that.

          1. Christina.
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 1 day ago

            I might sacrifice a -4 to block rival with Bobby F.

            Babel & Bobby F in for Eriksen & GRay

            1. Karan14
              • 8 Years
              5 years, 1 day ago

              Those moves could work out if Eriksen gets benched.

            2. The 12th Man
              • 10 Years
              5 years, 1 day ago

              I like those moves. Especially if Erikson gets a rest.

      2. The 12th Man
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 day ago

        Both could go either way. Especially Ings and Jota.
        Doherty has more attacking threat so I’d edge towards him.

        1. Karan14
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 1 day ago

          There's a Wolves ITK who gets the line ups correct on one of their fan forums. Hoping there's some news from there to make my decision easier.

          Edging towards the Wolves pair right now but I feel there's a case for the Soton boys too.

          1. The 12th Man
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 1 day ago

            Thanks, I may edge my bets and play Jota and Redmond.

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

    Best option till end of season

    A: Sterling + Pogba + Mane
    B: Sterling + Salah + Jwp
    C: Salah + Pogba + Eriksen

    1. Eytexi
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 day ago

      A

    2. danishdynamite
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 day ago

      B with Babel

    3. gunnerlover
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 day ago

      A

    4. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 day ago

      A

    5. Balls of Steel
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 day ago

      A again

  15. danishdynamite
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 1 day ago

    Morning all. TC day!

    Laca > max 6m striker. Long? Or somebody else?

    1. Knowsnothingaboutnothing
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 day ago

      Similar dilemma. So unsure of Long v Ings game mins. I was looking at taking a hit and freeing up cash to get in Zaha or Mitro, who have decent fixtures.
      Would be interested to also hear what others think

      1. danishdynamite
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 1 day ago

        If I could have afforded Mitro / Zaha I'd have gone for them

        I need the money to afford Salah, so 6m is my max.

        Long seems to be most in favour, not least after Ing's has played like dogmuck recently

    2. jdogg
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 day ago

      DCL?x

  16. Blanka
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 day ago

    Got 43 points to claw back in ML.

    As far as I know, it's my TC Salah vs normal captain Mane. I don't own Mane.

    Big night!

    1. gunnerlover
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 day ago

      What about Firmino to cover off those points as well?

      1. Blanka
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 day ago

        I've got TAA and Robertson. Require some hits for that. These 2 should be good for clean sheets and possible attacking returns, you'd think?!

        1. Warby84
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 1 day ago

          I have same 3 but wasted TC on Sane in 25

    2. TheDragon
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 day ago

      Not tempted to get mane in?

      1. Blanka
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 day ago

        Think TAA and Robbo should cover him. With a bit of luck!

        1. Blanka
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 1 day ago

          Can't be hitting those guys out.

  17. Lingard’s Shin Guards
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 day ago

    Bench order correct and everything gtg?

    Foster
    Laporte TAA Duffy
    Mane (c) Sterling Son Redmond
    Aguero Firmino Jimenez

    Ryan Doherty Valery Hoj (1FT 0.7 ITB)

    1. Eytexi
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 day ago

      I'm playing Ryan over Foster.

    2. gunnerlover
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 day ago

      Good team. I’d love Firmino but can’t quite afford him

  18. gunnerlover
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 1 day ago

    Struggling with no podcast in my life this week. What am I meant to do with my Friday now?! Ha!

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 day ago

      sleep

  19. Eytexi
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 day ago

    1FT rolling over to next week. Gtg?

    Ryan.
    TAA, Robbo, Alderweireld.
    Sterling, Mané, Pogba, Eriksen, Son.
    Wilson, Jiminez.

    Unsure on captaincy. Mané is the obvious pick but tempted by both TAA and Sterling. What are your thoughts on any Liverpool rotation tonight?

    1. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 day ago

      I’m facing the same captaincy dilemma.

      Currently on Robbo over Mane. I can’t get it out of my head that there’ll be early subs.

      Effective triple Liverpool defence seems a reasonable counter to all those TCs

      1. Eytexi
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 day ago

        I agree with you completely. Im more confident of a Liverpool clean sheet than i am of a Mané return, and with the full-backs' attacking potential it's tough to ignore them.

    2. Blanka
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 day ago

      TAA is a great pick, for me. I'm not ballsy enough to go him over Salah, but he is my vice.

      1. Eytexi
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 day ago

        Currently have it on TAA - not sure I'll leave it though.

    3. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 day ago

      Gtg. 2FTs will give you so much flexibility next week.
      Rotation is a anyone’s guess.Ive brought in Mane this week.
      As a non Sterling owner I’m slightly worried about the damage he could do.

      1. Eytexi
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 day ago

        Any concern over Sterling's minutes after a few lots of 90 minutes?

        1. The 12th Man
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 1 day ago

          I’m hoping he gets a rest but think that’s wishful thinking.
          Being out of Europe is a big boon for City regarding the league. Fully expecting a full strength team.
          I will be going Salah > Sterling next week.

  20. Fantasyamateur
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 day ago

    Great GW, 133 points and into top 500 overall. Will transfer Manè in for Eriksen and have this team for GW36:

    Lloris
    Doherty - Duffy - Laporte
    Sterling - Son - Jota - Manè (TC)
    Agüero - Lacazette - Jimenez

    Bench: Deulofeu, Dunk, Kolasinac, Foster.

    0FT and 0.4M ITB.

    G2G? Who to bench is a bit of a headache.
    Also a bit tempted to do Lacazette --> Firmino for a hit..

    1. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 day ago

      There all 50/50 calls and are a consequence of having a strong bench for the Bench Boost. We are just going to have to accept the fact we have some points on the bench.

      I have Lacazette and was wondering whether it was worth taking him out for a hit. Although I have 3 Liverpool already . I’ll probably keep him for now and hope he does well.

  21. barracuda
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 day ago

    Everyone captaining Liverpool assets, how about Man City?

    1. Eytexi
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 day ago

      Tempted by Sterling but fearing the worst.

      1. barracuda
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 day ago

        How about Kun?

        1. Eytexi
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 day ago

          I probably wouldnt, but then i benched Jonny last week so what do i know, haha.

  22. teneighty
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 day ago

    Any Man U fans around? You reckon Martial gets a start against Chelsea?

    1. wernerhedgehog
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 day ago

      Sounds incredulous but my punty hat says Sanchez as CF Marital LF maybe. Lukaku has literally 2 shots in last 3. If Utd go 5 atb then Martial benched, but that won't happen imho.

      1. teneighty
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 day ago

        Thanks! My confidence in him is not high at the moment so might bench for JWP.

  23. FPL Maldini
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 day ago

    Has anyone heard from Joe since?

    Hope he is recovering well

      Not with a brain bleed I would imagine. Down time is now important. Recovery could take months I would reckon.

    Salah in for a -8 hit and captain. Sometimes you just have to listen to your gut.

    Need KDB replacement. Budget is 10.0 mill and I already have Son, Eriksen and Mane. Any advice?

        Cheers. Think it'll be either him or Sane

        Nice call

        Went Bilva but only really as he was my WC regret. Siggy could be dynamite imo as I gave Everton as the team to finish with a bang

      Bilva

    63 points behind ML leader. I’ve made up 48 points in the last 3 weeks! He’s definitely going to captain Mane, should I triple captain Mane or someone else?

      TC the player you think will score the most points.

    TC goes to:

    A) Salah
    B) Mane
    ???

    1. No_Mo_Salah?

      A for me

    2. pingissimus

      Coin toss. Both Liverpool have good cases.

      Other possibility is City next week and I’d be really tempted by Haz too next week.

    Who to bench from Ings, Doherty and Duffy?

    1. TRE2
      • 6 Years

      Depends on your team. Id say Doherty from that without knowing
