Former champion A Manager Has No Name is safely through to round three following a comfortable 69-39 victory over Bob808.

He will play CMJC in Gameweek 17.

Man Getting Hit By Football will take on the lowest-ranked Fantasy Premier League manager left in this tournament – Matt Sk – in round three, meanwhile.

There is only one FPL boss still standing who is currently ranked inside the top 1,000.

FPLchewitt, who sits in 171st in the world after his ninth straight green arrow, will face DARK this weekend.

Another member of the top 1k, SingaSaint, exited the cup after a 69-73 defeat to Maddog73.

The second-round draw in full can be accessed here.

Two of our three former champions – rrcmc and Waltzingmatildas – made it past the first hurdle but another ex-winner, Malaikat Jihad, bowed out after an 82-51 defeat to pawel2591.

rrcmc’s reward for his victory is a second-round meeting with moderator TorresMagic, while Waltzingmatildas will play Scubasmithy.

Our highest-ranked remaining manager and the only one inside the top 1,000 at present is frankiem.

He is currently sitting in 279th place in the world, having been as high as 16th in Gameweek 10.

frankiem will next take on Campo72, ranked some half a million places behind him.

Another manager sitting in the top 1k, the 395th-placed Adams Ave Drunks, was defeated in the second round by moo.

Staff members Paul and Rotation’s Alter Ego progressed and will play 1justlookin and Sessegnon Blanc respectively in round two.

Our lowest-ranked manager left in the FFS Members Cup, Rixster, will face Daitheboot in Gameweek 17.

    Aurier, Alli, Kane all rested?

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yep

  2. EL_FENOMENO
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Thinking of losing TAA after this gw to fund maybe Kane, mad ?

    1. JustPark
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Hardly..

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Loosing TAA is not mad I guess but that to fund Kane is slightly ... other cheaper strikers are producing the good at the moment

    3. yakirh
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Thinking the same

    4. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Not the worst idea. With TAA blanking GW18 and a good chance of Leicester scoring in GW19 then Kane just needs 1 goal against each of Chelsea and Brighton and you will be laughing.

      1. Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        as per Zico's point above, there are better cheaper strikers than Kane who are in form at the moment and if your not going to captain Kane then he is quite expensive to hold.

  3. J to the T
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Pope
    Trent Lundstram Soy
    Mane Sterling Zaha Ali
    Vardy (c) Jiminez Ings
    (Pope Kelly Dunk Cantwell)

    Not having Tammy or Rashford worries me this week. But I haven’t got spare cash to upgrade from Jiminez. Also I’m losing patience with Sterling despite promising myself he was a season keeper.

    Any views?
    A) save FT
    B Sterling -> Son
    C Sterling & Jiminez -> Son & Rashford/Tammy (-4)

    1. JIMMY TUGGINS
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      A from those although I don't rate Zaha as a pick.

  4. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Jesus, should have been the fourth

  5. BobbyDoesNotLook
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Prolly b

    1. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Amazing accuracy

  6. Esalman
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Tempted to do Pukki+Pulisic > Jesus+Cantwell for -4
    yey or nay?

    1. Pinturicchio10
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Two starters with potential out, Jesus in. That's a no from me.

      • Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Nope, Cantwell didn't start last week so may not start GW18 when needed for the Liverpool blank and why sell Pulisic prior to a "plum" tie at home to Bournemouth.

      • IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Kneejerkers kneejerk

      • Pumpkinhead
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Nope

    2. McSauce
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Keep or dump sterling for the arsenal Game.

      Thinking about Salah in but would be Tomori --> Kelly and a -4

      1. JIMMY TUGGINS
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        I did Sterling > Salah(-4) last week but would hold in your position, especially if you have Mane.

        1. McSauce
          • 16 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Ye i have Mane and Vardy (C) for the weekend

          1. JIMMY TUGGINS
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Keep Sterling then, Arsenal defence is embarrassing plus you're getting another player that blanks in a week for a hit.

      2. Drexl Spivey
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        I'd do it if you were captaining Salah.

        1. McSauce
          • 16 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          ye agreed but I cant take the armband off Vardy

      3. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Absolutely keep. Salah in is just bad with blank coming up next

    3. Bojaninho
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      top 3 players to own this week? bar Vardy obviously as every man and their dog will captain him

      1. The Train Driver
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Jesus, Tammy, Mane

      2. Piggs Boson
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Mane, Salah, Jesus

      3. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        TAA

      4. Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Tammy, Maddison and Ings

      5. Pinturicchio10
          6 years, 1 month ago

          No idea but hoping it's Salah, Pulisic, Tomori 😀

        • Brosstan
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Jesus, Sterling, KDB

        • POLSKA GOLA
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Vardy Mane KDB

        • Limbo
          • 15 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Vardy

        • IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE

          1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Only one but the first one that came to mind

        • Pumpkinhead
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Salah/Mane, Tammy, Mads

        • circusmonkey
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Chilwell, Raz, Tammy

      6. Don Kloppeone
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        So assume the consensus on here is that Jesus is totally essential now?
        Love this place 😆

        1. JIMMY TUGGINS
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Zinchenko was just subbed on and is playing up front? There's your essential!

          1. Don Kloppeone
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Remember when everyone had Zinch in their teams? Good times

        2. Piggs Boson
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Nice straw man.

        3. The Train Driver
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          People said the same thing when I got Alli in before he wrecked it. Jesus is showing great form playing for a top team, of course he's a great pick now.

          1. Don Kloppeone
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Def not in consistent form imo. And Kun won’t be too far off

        4. Amey
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Vardy to Jesus is a no brainer

          1. Don Kloppeone
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Yep. Doing it for a -8 tonight before the price swing

          2. 7shadesofsmoke
            • 12 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            done it on my second and third teams for fun

      7. The Train Driver
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Do we think Pep is easing Mendy in to the team because of his injury history or has he lost his place as a starter?

        1. JIMMY TUGGINS
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          I don't think Pep trusts him at all otherwise he'd have been playing more as Angelino is awful, I actually think Zinch goes back in at LB soon.

          1. The Train Driver
            • 10 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Not sure why, think he's better than Zinch and Angelino is far from both...

      8. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Selling Vardy for Jesus might be a viable option...

        1. McSauce
          • 16 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          .......................

      9. Champ
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Any word from Utd on tomorrow's game....Rash to rise tonight possibly?

        Utd through so wondering will be be rested

        1. Brosstan
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Judging from their last European lineup Id say the chance of Rashford playing is below zero

          1. Champ
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Good. Thanks bro

        2. JIMMY TUGGINS
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Just get him, he'll probably be rested.

          1. Champ
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Vardy (c) Jimi Mousset

        A. Mousset ---> Ings
        B. Jimi ----> Rash
        C. Save FT

        Thinking A?

      11. Slitherene
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Zaha vs BHA
        Pros : 5G, 2A in 10 Games vs BHA
        Cons : Out of form (season)

        Mount vs BOU
        Pros : Rested & likely to start vs BOU
        Cons : Doesn't have a high ceiling

        Which one to play?

        1. Pinturicchio10
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Surely there should be more cons for Zaha...

            1. Slitherene
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 1 month ago

              Like?

        2. Brosstan
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Harwood-Bellis' price in FPL?

        3. Atimis
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Would you gamble on playing Tomori over Lund? Have Henderson as GK

          1. Pinturicchio10
              6 years, 1 month ago

              No I'd rather take the plunge with the double up.

          2. Gudjohnsen
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Vardy to Jesus for a hit?

            1. McSauce
              • 16 Years
              6 years, 1 month ago

              yep 100%

            2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
              • 9 Years
              6 years, 1 month ago

              Any way to take two hits?

              1. Pumpkinhead
                • 11 Years
                6 years, 1 month ago

                Vardy to Jesus - Jesus to Vardy - Vardy to Jesus EZ.

            3. DA Minnion (Former great)
              • 13 Years
              6 years, 1 month ago

              Go for it.

          3. Brosstan
            • 11 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Even Foden and Jesus can score against Croatian farmers. Guess who's on the pitch yet cant score? Raheem is past it, a glorified tap in merchant.

          4. fr3d
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            A couple of tap-ins in Serbia and people go mad

            • 8 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Is it completely bananas to play the bench boost card not in a double GW? Brought in David Martin on a free last week to replace my bench fodder in Stekelenberg. He's only going to get a few more starts before Fabiankski returns so considering playing bench boost this weekend.

            1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
              • 9 Years
              6 years, 1 month ago

              It's viable if bench is good enough of course

            2. fr3d
              • 8 Years
              6 years, 1 month ago

              BB chip is shite and you could easily play it now if you’re confident that all your players play. Remember people were dead ending their WC teams to have Brighton and Southampton players for BB. You might even dodge a bullet playing it now

              1. JIMMY TUGGINS
                • 7 Years
                6 years, 1 month ago

                Excuse me, I had useless Watford players too.

                1. Brosstan
                  • 11 Years
                  6 years, 1 month ago

                  Deulofeu did well

                  1. JIMMY TUGGINS
                    • 7 Years
                    6 years, 1 month ago

                    I think I had Foster and Deeney, conceded in last min against Hudds and a red card before the DGW even happened.

              2. Wensink
                • 8 Years
                6 years, 1 month ago

                Thanks. I just need to move Guendouzi who's been a donkey for me all season.

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 16 Years
              6 years, 1 month ago

              I’m the same.

              Bench is Martial and Lundstram cos they aren’t better than the XI choices. I might press the BB

            4. circusmonkey
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 15 Years
              6 years, 1 month ago

              Of course. Did mine in week 11, got another 20 points.

            5. Pumpkinhead
              • 11 Years
              6 years, 1 month ago

              It's not bananas but I like to have the increased chance of points so having 2 games from each of your bench players (probably) is better odds. Either way, the BB is so hard to predict and use correctly.

              1. Pinturicchio10
                  6 years, 1 month ago

                  This

              Hoping for an early lineup release for Liverpool on Saturday!

            7. Horlicks esq.
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 16 Years
              6 years, 1 month ago

              I’m gunning for that 100+ this week.

              Every player at home except one.

              1. fr3d
                • 8 Years

                  Ha. Likely!

                  Mane (c) again. That’s 20 points.

                  You know what, I had that thought earlier when I confirmed ft. The ton, or close to, is possible once again this gw.

                As above then.

                What constitutes a successful BB.

                How many points?

                  20?

                    Yeah I agree. Something like that. I’d hope for a 100 if I use it. That’ll do.

                  A successful BB would consist of a few differentials in the team & just 1 or 2 players blanking out of 15.

                    I think I might use it. Number 1 in the world has gone to town on their chips and it looks like it offers a good platform for the whole season. Putting these folk 200+ ahead early on. I’d never have the balls to go with it so early but it looks a handy tactic If done right. At the end of the day a good TC is a player that 3BP’s and takes a goal/assist etc

                      Martial has a good record against Everton, if he continues that then your BB could be great.

                  6 years, 1 month ago

                  4 from each player is what I'm hoping for as a minimum so 16 is the least I'd want to get.

                Who to play:

                A. Aurier (wol)
                B. Kelly (BHA) double-up with Guaita

                Looking to burn a transfer on the below team. Have 2 free.

                Cantwell or Tamori to who?

                Gazzinga/Button
                Kelly/TAA/Pereira/Lundstrum/Tamori
                KDB/Madison/Mane/Zaha/Cantwell
                Jimenez/Tammy/Vardy

                  • 9 Years

                  Tomori -> Dunk
                  Button -> Martin is another option

                  1. Heiro
                    • 16 Years
                    6 years, 1 month ago

                    And bench boost?

                    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
                      • 9 Years
                      6 years, 1 month ago

                      I wouldn't

                  • 7 Years
                  6 years, 1 month ago

                  Tomori to someone who plays 18

                    Keep Cantwell, get David Martin if you have to burn one.

                Vardy(c), Rashford, Tammy

                    6 years, 1 month ago

                    I'd like that strike force, ain't gonna happen though can't afford it. Team looks solid. gtg.

                  • Heiro
                    • 16 Years
                    6 years, 1 month ago

                    Terrible team.

                    Huge risks

                  Guess I should keep Jesus then:
                  Abraham & Kelly in for Jimenez & Diop for free?

                  If there was a leaked line up on Saturday pre first game that Mané starting would you switch captaincy to him from Vardy ?

                    6 years, 1 month ago

                    No but if mane is benched and line up leaked I'd consider Mane to Salah(C)

                    Why do people think Mane won't start?

                    Add Villa to those and that’s why I’m playing BB

                      All at home apart from Alli

                    These are the weeks when red cards, pen misses, random benching, and random scorers strike.

                  BT don't have the greatest commentators, and pundits in the world. Have to think there will be some garbage spouted on New Years Day, when they cover nine PL games, all live and available on tv.
