FFS Cup

The latest FFS Cup fixtures and results

The draws for the fourth round of the FFS Members Cup and the fifth round of the FFS Cup have taken place following the completion of Gameweek 18.

We’re down to the final 64 Fantasy managers in both tournaments after last weekend’s games.

FFS CUP

The results from the fourth round of the open-to-all 2019/20 FFS Cup are available by clicking here.

The fifth round draw in full can be accessed here.

Our highest-ranked manager in round four exited the competition this weekend.

Yemop fell to a 53-45 defeat to NielsvanDelft and dropped out of the top 1k in doing so.

Teddy Brewski, sitting at 1,452nd in the world, takes over Yemop’s crown as the manager with the best overall rank in the competition.

He defeated Underdogs AFC 57-34 in Gameweek 18 and will next face Jeanz.

Ujjwal, the only site user left in either of our cups who has an overall rank in excess of one million, will take on Chap of Steel in round five.

Moderator G-Whizz was among those progressing to the last 64, too.

FFS MEMBERS CUP

The scores from the third round of the 2019/20 FFS Members Cup are available by clicking here.

The fourth round draw in full can be accessed here.

Our highest-ranked entrant left in the competition lives to fight another day.

frankiem was a comfortable 66-41 victor over PepRoulette, with the former’s captaincy of Danny Ings an inspired move.

frankiem is now up to 27th in the world, with all of his chips bar the first Wildcard still intact.

sandgrounder is the Fantasy boss charged with the unenviable task of stopping him in round four.

Another FPL boss having a superb season, ActorJeff, beat Pseto 64-43 and moved up to 159th in the process.

His reward is a fourth round tie against sledger, who sits just outside the top 200k.

There are two all-top 10k clashes in round four, with Bubber United facing prbaker1980 and FPL Cot taking on Bun Rab L4D3.

Moderator TorresMagic and staff writer Paul also made it through round three.

    Has Lampard been told to give Puli a minimum of "x" amount of minutes a season to boost the clubs popularity in the US?
    Probably

  3. The Ejiptian King
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Really can't decide on captaincy this week, might just stick it on Lund.

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      You look like an Alli kind of guy 😉

      1. The Ejiptian King
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        That's another one I'm considering, Brighton pretty good to captain against because they always try to play their own game, not sure what system Jose will go to with Son out though.

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          nah was joke, Alli cant be trusted with armband I dont think.

    2. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Pukki.

    3. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Vardy.

  4. venitol

    4 years, 3 months ago

    2FT 1.5ITB

    Ryan, 4.0m
    Soy, Lundstram, Van Dijk, Kelly, Rico
    Pulisic, Alli, Maddison, Mane, Dendoncker
    Vardy, Rashford, Jimenez

    I think I should axe Pulisic, thinking of a swap to KDB or Salah, either would mean swapping down a forward.
    Other option is swapping Pulisic for someone like Richarlison or Pogba

    Thoughts?

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Pogba

  5. Syd.
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Will any goalkeepers get rested over the festive period?

    1. Mince n Tatties
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Concerned Gazza maybe dropped for Vorm at this rate

  6. NobodyF*cksWithTheJesus
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Haven't got a great captain option this week who would you go for out of this lot?

    TAA Kelly Lund
    Salah KdB madd grealish
    Vardy rashford jimenez

    Or worth taking a hit on someone like Alli or Abraham?

    1. Warby84
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Vardy or Salah

      1. NobodyF*cksWithTheJesus
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        On salah atm

    2. Doctor Evil
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Lundstram or KDB

  7. Atwood
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Will Son fall twice more? Really want more time to choose my replacement.

    1. Klaren
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Probably once more, he is unlikely to fall tonight based on price change sites

      1. Atwood
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        As long as he holds off tonight that’ll do. Just hate rushing transfers!

  8. Mackans
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Is the following move worth a -4??

    Son & Rashford -> Salah & Ings

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Yes.

    2. Dirty Harry
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I was 100% looking at this, but if Pogba is back, Rash might get more chances if he can finish them. They are also up against [NEW bur ars NOR liv BUR WOL] as opposed to Ings who has [che CRY TOT lei WOL cry liv]

      1. GreennRed
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        The 'if he can finish them' part is important. Rashford has improved bug time but I'm not convinced his confidence is good enough yet to make him a top finisher.

    3. PrettyDick
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I think (and hope) that the Ings train has gone for this time around

    4. Goonsquad245
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I decided no.

  9. Dirty Harry
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Quick vote lads, can't afford Salah without a hit.

    Son >

    1. Moura
    2. Madds
    3. Pogba
    4. Richarlison

    Current front 8:
    KDB Mane Alli Grealish *SON*
    Vardy Rashford (Mousset)

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      3

    2. Tempestic
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Exact same as me, don’t think i’ll go madds this week but he’ll probably be my escape route from a different option if it backfires

      1. Tempestic
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        I think i’m leaning towards pogba but don’t know exactly why..

    3. Tempestic
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I don’t rly like richarlisons next 3 fixtures and unimpressed with Everton against arsenal managing a whopping 0 shots on target

      1. GreennRed
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Richarlison started up front, moved wider when Tosun came on. Apparently Ancelotti likes him and Digne. Should be more Central and threatening under Ancelotti.

    4. Saro0808
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I went for a hit to get salah.he is nailed atm.drop mousset, as he aint starting the games.

      1. Dirty Harry
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Mousset is a bench as I have 5 mids starting at the moment

        1. Saro0808
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          if mousset is a bench fodder,then you should probably use the funds else where.

      2. Dirty Harry
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah I would have to go Son+Rash>Salah+Ings

        Though Ings has a tough run

    5. PrettyDick
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      1

    6. KINGS
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Take a hit to get Salah in

      1. Dirty Harry
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Took a -8 and it worked out terribly last week

    7. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Maddison and stick by him

  10. waltzingmatildas
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    On wc next week. Had Mané and Robertson since pretty much the beginning of the season.
    Would you swap to TAA and Salah on a wc or just stick?

    1. Babit1967
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Salah and TAa owner here but I’d just stick all capable of scoring big

  11. estheblessed
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    What to do here? I have 1ft and zero funds;

    Pope
    Kelly, Lundstram, Chilwell
    Grealish, KDB, Mane, Zaha, Ali
    Rashford, Vardy

    Ings, Pieters, Willems

    1. Saro0808
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Drop chilwell to Less premium defender ( like baldock) and next week use to funds to upgrade one of mids to a more premium one ( like maddi)
      or save and access your situation after this week,def bench chilwell,its against pools,and they will score.

    2. PrettyDick
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      play Ings > Zaha and save FT and for next GW you can do Zaha --> Cantwell/Fleck and upgrade a defender or Rashford -> Kane or Auba or Augero if they become viable options (or roll the other FT)

    3. estheblessed
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Sound advice. I think Zaha could score tho!

  12. Doctor Evil
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Triple captain Lundstram anyone?

    1. Klaren
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Save it for a DGW

    2. Tempestic
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I presume it’s a joke but yes

  13. Saro0808
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    After a horrible weekend,Went for -8,hope My Current Team looks decent now,
    Ryan
    Lund Kelly Baldock
    Salah Mane Kbd Maddi
    Rashford Vardy Pukki

    Bench: Button, Cantwell,Soyu,Rico
    Who to caption? confused between Rashford & Salah.current on salah.
    any suggestions?

  14. davies
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Hmm... thoughts on these moves for free?

    Son + Rashford > Pogba + Kane (c)

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Without doubt

  15. PrettyDick
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Haven't been able to find this info: Does anybody know when the decision on Son's appeal will come? Or if the appeal itself perhaps postpones his suspension so he plays vs Brighton?

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      The suspension has already begun. We'll have to wait on the appeal result but as of now he's banned for next 3.

      1. PrettyDick
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Okay. The way I've understood it is that if they can't come with a decision before next GW then it will be postponed, but that might be wrong?
        Also, is there an expectations on when they will decide on the appeal? A protocol of any sorts?
        Cheers

        1. Netley Lucas
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          They'll come up with a decision alright, before BRI.

  16. have you seen cyan
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Brosstan at the end of the Spurs game yesterday was like " whats the most casual move I could do with Son, Son>Pogba?"
    little did he know LOL

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      In fairness doing the opposite of whatever he posts on here would see you in top 10k this season I am sure of it

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        I think that was his logic 😀

  17. Eric Banternaaa
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    7 Green arrows in a row!

    Henderson Button
    TAA Soyuncu Lund Rico Kelly
    KDB Mane Maddison Son Dendoncer
    Vardy Jimi Abraham

    2FT 0.1ITB.

    Need to take Son out but can’t see anybody obvious. Can’t afford Son to Sterling or Salah, been looking at Pogba. Thoughts?

    1. Saro0808
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      i would def get salah as he looks nailed.got rid of tammy & son for salah & pukki.in your case i would drop taa/jimi and son for salah and baldock/igns/pukki.
      great team by the way.

    2. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Could be a great move, I'd be very surprised if he doesn't start against Newcastle.

    3. Karhumies
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Pulisic/Mount, Grealish, Traore, Cantwell...

      Spurs and Arsenal have the players but not the teamplay currently. Give the new managers a couple of weeks and you'll want some expensive players again.

      1. Eric Banternaaa
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Not a big Pogba fan that just looks like the standard transfer this week. Telling myself not to do it.

        Son/Tammy > Salah/ Mousset?

        1. Karhumies
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          So your bench is probably Rico + Son not playing + Soyuncu if no transfers, so you would have to play Dendoncker unless FT something.

          Dendoncker to Cantwell/Traore seems liie an option.

  18. SADIO SANÉ
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    what's the press conference situation guys?

  19. KINGS
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Start Pope (eve) or Heaton (NOR)?

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Heat, that Villa defence has to tighten soon or they're down.

      1. JJO
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        this

    2. avfc82
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I'd go Heaton.

    3. Karhumies
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Pope. Pukki is a solid captain choice this week.

      1. JJO
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        nah
        Think Norwich will score 1 goal max

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Pukki hatti incoming

      2. JJO
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        and this is coming from Pope owner

  20. JJO
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Alli or Moura for next 2 guys ?

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Alli, but Moura's not a bad shout.

      1. JJO
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        yeah Moura could be great differential,but Alii is probably safest pick

        1. Netley Lucas
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Moura never looks part of the team, a bit lost, an outsider. Not a bad player though.

          1. JJO
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Yeah he is great in 90% of matches he plays,but cant get regular starts
            But guess he will start in next 2 with Son suspended and with those opponents

            1. Netley Lucas
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              Well, he'll get 2/3 won't he. They can juggle a bit on the right. His big threat down the road is Lamela...

    2. Danno - Emre Canada
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      This is exactly what I was going to ask.....

  21. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    What's the template WC looking like?

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Not sure, but a common themese seems to be; 8 decent attackers so you have a benching headache each week.

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years

      Look at the top 10k article

  22. That Fantasy Guy
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Hi all please cast a quick vote:

    A. Pulisic + Son + Rashford -> KDB + Alli + Ings
    or
    B. Pulisic + Son + Rashford -> KDB + Cantwell + Kane
    or
    C. Pulisic + Son -> KDB + Grealish

    Thanks

    1. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      C easily

    2. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      C

  23. jdogg
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Pulisic to grealish?x

    1. avfc82
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I'd be tempted to keep Pulisic this week, I think he'll start.

        1. avfc82
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Ahh sorry missed this.

          Presume it'll be Nakamba, Luiz and Hourihane in a midfield three vs Norwich, with Grealish in his usual roaming role on the left.

          BUT... we've been so poor recently, Smith might switch things up. If that happens, I could see Grealish playing as an 8, as he did earlier this season, with two of El Ghazi, Trezeguet and Jota on the flanks.

          I think that would dent his appeal slightly, so its one to monitor.

          1. have you seen cyan
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            tell your manager to bench Heaton

            1. avfc82
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              Can't see it, can see Chester coming in tho, possibly alongside Konsa.

          2. Ask Yourself

            I know was saving it for when you popped up x

            Christ that looks horrible. Hourihane could be a nice cheapie? But yeah my assumption was Grealish would drop back and be less appealing FPL-wise. Nice one man hope you’re keeping well and that you have a nice Christmas x

              Don't think I'd go Hourihane, always in and out of the team, quite an inconsistent player too.

              Have a good Christmas yourself 🙂 Great rank too, well played.

                Just always randomly seems to be in the points when he does though. Too many midfield options to be seriously considered anyway.

                Thanks very much mate you certainly helped x

    So, 1 FT and 7.1 ITB before WCing next week.

    Gazza
    TAA Kelly Lundstram
    KDB Grealish Maddison Mount
    Tammy Vardy Jimenez

    (Button Dendonker Soy Rico)

    Thinking for this week probably makes sense to get someone in for Jimenez, couple of ideas below, appreciate your input.

    A) Jimenez to Rash/Pukki
    B) Maddison to Salah/Alli
    C) Something else

    1. Eric Banternaaa

      B

    Major benching headache, play two out of:

    Maddison
    VVD
    TAA
    Kelly

    1. avfc82
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I'd play Maddison and Trent.

    2. jimmy.floyd
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Maddy TAA

    3. JJO
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Maddison and TAA maybe but no one can really know
      Those 2 have highest ceilings

    Who to Captain guys? Can’t decide!

    Henderson

    Lundstram Aurier Kelly

    KDB Mane Salah Alli

    Abraham Vardy Jiminez

    I’m leaning towards KDB but Salah/Vardy/Alli/Mane/Tammy/Lundstram all have a shout too. Argh

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Going Tammy atm

    2. Netley Lucas
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Go for Kev, good week for it. Mo for me, good week for it.

    3. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Going Tammy myself atm.

    G2G here guys?? 1FT £1.2m itb. Would like to get rid of Son but I am might bench him.

    Pope (Button)
    Tomori, Lundstrom, TAA (Rico, Soyuncu)
    Cantwell, Mane, Grealish, KDB (Son)
    Vardy, Tammy (C), Ings

    1. Eric Banternaaa
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      3 match ban and going to bench him. Price will drop tomorrow night so have time to do transfer.

    2. Karhumies
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      If Tomori does not play, you have Soyuncu coming out, while Rico + Son not playing. Seems reasonable. Son will drop a few times while you wait, though.

      1. tbhogal
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Might get Alli possibly

  28. HollywoodXI
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    GTG? Tammy captain.

    Pope
    Aurier Lundstram Kelly
    Salah KDB Alli Mount
    Vardy Abraham Rashford

    Button Maddison Söyüncü Rico

  29. Eric Banternaaa

    Not a big Pogba fan that just looks like the standard transfer this week. Telling myself not to do it.

    Son/Tammy > Salah/ Mousset?

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Definitely not Mousset

  30. SADIO SANÉ

    Bournemouth defence + new manager bounce = Jimenez -> Auba for a week? anyone interested?
