Our second FFS Cup competition of the season reaches its climax this weekend.
Our final will be a battle between two managers who lurk just outside the top 1,000 in Fantasy Premier League.
Rotation’s Alter Ego and LOKOMOTIV both prevailed in their respective semi-finals to set up a showdown between the pair in Gameweek 37.
Losing semi-finalists Skogen89 and Ibra-gum will now contest the third-place play-off this weekend.
Rotation’s Alter Ego broke the 100-point barrier for the second Gameweek in a row and for the third time in five Gameweeks.
He was one of three semi-finalists – including opponent Skogen89 – to use the Triple Captain chip on Sadio Mane, who returned 13 points in Liverpool’s 5-0 demolition of Huddersfield Town on Friday.
Skogen89 was unfortunate to be eliminated as his score of 87 would have been enough to win the other semi-final.
LOKOMOTIV ran out the winner in that last-four encounter, with opponent Ibra-gum the only manager not to have their Triple Captain chip intact and indeed handing the armband to Son Heung-min, who blanked against West Ham.
The semi-final results were as follows:
| Name | Score | Rank | Name | Score | Rank | |
| Skogen89 | 87 | 19320 | vs | Rotation’s Alter Ego | 103 | 1280 |
| Ibra-gum | 61 | 147195 | vs | LOKOMOTIV | 84 | 1859 |
As of the Gameweek 36 deadline, LOKOMOTIV and Rotation’s Alter Ego shared only six players: Hugo Lloris, Son Heung-min, Sadio Mane, Raheem Sterling, Sergio Aguero and Raul Jimenez.
There is plenty of overlap in terms of team representation, though: LOKOMOTIV owns Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mathew Ryan, Yan Valery, Matt Doherty, Maya Yoshida and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg where Rotation’s Alter Ego has Andrew Robertson, Shane Duffy, Jan Bednarek, Willy Boly, Angus Gunn and Nathan Redmond.
Rotation’s Alter Ego’s main “differentials” are Wilfried Zaha, Diogo Jota and Aymeric Laporte, with LOKOMOTIV owning Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Abdoulaye Doucoure and Sead Kolasinac.
Neither manager has made any transfers yet (at the time of writing), nor do they have any chips remaining.
Ibra-gum and Skogen89 shared nine players in Gameweek 36 and again, neither manager has any chips remaining heading into their third-place play-off.

5 years, 4 days agoIs worth taking a hit this week to take out Gray for another striker 6.8 or less? Or should I just play Gray vs Chelsea and not expect much.
Thanks.
