The draws for the fifth round of the FFS Members Cup and the sixth round of the FFS Cup have taken place following the completion of Gameweek 19.

As planned, we skipped Gameweek 20 due to the swift turnaround between the two sets of fixtures.

We’re down to the final 32 Fantasy managers in both tournaments after the Boxing Day games.

FFS CUP

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

The sixth round draw in full can be accessed here.

Our highest-ranked manager in round five (more of whom below) made it through to the round of 32.

Teddy Brewski, still chasing a cup double, beat Jeanz 70-39 in Gameweek 19 and will next face robharr.

Our only all-top 10k clash in Gameweek 20 sees beetlejuice take on Mataatti, who saw off another manager inside the top 10,000, Bury94, in round five.

Two of our three remaining site users who lie outside the top 150k, Coquelino and A Team Has No Name, meet each other in round six.

FFS MEMBERS CUP

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

The fifth round draw in full can be accessed here.

Our highest-ranked entrant left in either competition is now up to a remarkable 14th in the world.

frankiem, who first entered the top 1k four months ago, saw off sandgrounder 66-64 in Gameweek 19 and will meet Emm7980 in the fifth round.

ActorJeff, who has an overall rank of 630th, also progressed and will next play OlivierGiroudsHair.

A further seven managers in the round-of-32 draw are also in the top 10k after Gameweek 20.

One of those, the aforementioned TeddyBrewski, will face moderator TorresMagic in the first Gameweek of 2020.

    3. BellyKlopp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Kane if i had him. Worried that Salah or Kdb may be rested

    4. fusen
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Are you looking for reliable and low scoring or a punt and zero/hero?

      1. Lord of Ings
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        Hero zero.
        I'm currently 800k and 100+ points behind in my ML, it's all or nothing really.

        1. fusen
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 1 day ago

          Salah then

    5. Azathoth
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Kevin

    6. A19
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      I'd go 1 for higher risk higher reward and 3 for safe

  2. UKG
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    Start Grealish or Adama this week?

    1. fusen
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Grealish is more likely to get returns

    2. dansmusen
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Adama is rested and hungry 🙂

    3. beric
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Traore

    4. Boberella
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      I’m starting Traore, but with potential rotation elsewhere, I think Grealish first on bench will come in for someone.

    5. A19
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Adama

  3. theodosios
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    GTG? 1FT 1.3.m ITB

    Ramsdale
    Soy Aurier Kelly (Lund,Targett)
    Alli Mane KDB Zaha Traore
    Rash Vardy(C) (Abraham)

    Last GW for Zaha, will swap him for Maddison or should I do it this GW? Anything else worth transfer?

    1. fusen
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Are you happy with Ramsdale?

      Zaha just hasn't really done anything in this little bunch of "easy games". Why do you want to give him another chance?

  4. Champions League Varane
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    Hi all

    Thoughts on Ings ~Wood

    Wood has a great fixture this week vs AVL

  5. Jebiga
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    Nobody considering Sheffield United sneaky win ?

    1. fusen
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      It could happen, as anything can happen

      Realistically the likelihood is that Liverpool will win

    2. Amey
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Draw more possible.
      Don't see SHU scoring myself

    3. Jebiga
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      I have some wired vision. It will be different game than City against Sheffield.
      Lundstram goal and Hendo CS incoming 🙂

  6. Jullepuu
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    Got a big red arrow this game week. What should I do for the next one? Who to captain? 1 free transfer and 0.6 in the bank.

    Guaita Button
    TAA Aurier Lund Soy Reid
    Mane KDB Salah Grealish Hayden
    Maupay Jimenez Vardy

    1. fusen
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Vardy is surely the safe bet?

      1. Jullepuu
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        I think so if he is confirmed to start

    2. Pacer.
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      My red arrows seem to have coincided with foolishly chasing Salah stats in the face of mane's relentless actual form

      Pretty angry with myself tbh

      1. Pacer.
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        So maybe invest in a different premium.

        Sterling has kinder fixtures and they are chasing second

        1. Jullepuu
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 1 day ago

          I want to keep Salah and go down with him if he decides to not score points

      2. Jullepuu
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        Don't blame yourself for this week. Mane could have been benched but Salah was starting for sure

        1. Pacer.
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 1 day ago

          Exactly why I hung on another week. Ho hum

      3. fusen
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        Mane is just plodding along with safe returns. I owned him for most of the season. I switched to Salah this week in the hope he'll start hauling again but then accepting he'll blank more than mane due to their current forms.

        Do you want safe or do you want a chance of hauling?

        1. Pacer.
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 1 day ago

          Mane has more and bigger average hauls

          The only thing Salah has on him is a single larger haul, by one point

          1. fusen
            • 13 Years
            6 years, 1 day ago

            Salah has played 150 minutes less than Mane and has scored more than one goal once more than mane, Salah is not in good form and has scored 3 or less in more games than mane yet is still only 20 points off him

            If any player has the potential to haul, it's Salah.

            I think we can both see that Mane is the safer pick currently though

            1. Pacer.
              • 11 Years
              6 years, 1 day ago

              11,12,12,13,15,15
              12,13,15,16

              I see no reason at all to think Salah is more likely to hit big hauls, or less likely to blank

              He is not superior in any aspect of what he's currently returning

    3. Pompel
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Got similar team, and also capped Salah this GW. Think I will stick with him once again, thinking Mané to be rested GW21. But Vardy or KDB might be the safer bets.

  7. merin
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    How would you use these 2FTs?

    Ramsdale McGovern
    TAA Soyuncu Lundstram Rico Kelly
    Mané KDB Alli Maddison Dendoncker
    Vardy Rashford Abraham

    2 FT, 0.2 ITB

    1. CRO KLOPP
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Tammy to Jimenez and Save ft

    2. Jebiga
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      wooow ! briliant team. Maybe to spend 1 ft on benching GK Button, Martin ?

    3. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Double BOU defence is a bit too risky for my liking. Ramsdale > Foster?

  8. CRO KLOPP
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    1 FT 0.0 itb
    Kasper
    TAA Rico Kelly
    Salah Mane KDB Grealish
    Vardy Rashford Maupay
    (4.0 Cantwell Holgate Lund)

    A) Grealish to Adama/Sarr
    B) Rash and Grealish to Jimenez and Martial/Maddison (-4)
    C) save

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years

      1. CRO KLOPP

      2. white heart pain
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        I did Grealish out for Martial this GW. Villa just won’t score many in when getting whipped. B

  9. jb1985

    1ft 1.5M itb

    Ryan,
    TAA, Aurier, Soy
    Mane, Grealish, Alli, KDB
    C.Wilson, Vardy, Rashford

    Martin, Rico, Lund, Dendo

    Brought Wilson in for Tammy last week, shall i swap him out for Jimmy this week or give Wilson another week, fixtures look good. Or Grealish to Traore?

    Looking to ship Aurier after this gameweek too but not sure who too.

    A) Save FT this week
    B) Grealish > Traore
    C) Wilson > Jimi

    1. Arfaish
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Bournemouth don't look great, move on Wilson this week

    2. ELMEO
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Aurier to Sidibe?

      1. jb1985
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        Maybe after the City game. Also seeing if there are any casualties in the Pool V Everton FA cup match before deciding on transfers for GW22

    3. A19
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      C

  10. lordkippe
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    A : Play Pogba & El Ghazi
    B : Pogba > Alli -4
    C : Pogba > Antonio -4
    D : Pogba > Sarr & Wickham > Jimenez -8 ( Means benching El Ghazi )
    E : Other suggestions on what to do with those cnuts

  11. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    Worth keeping Tammy? Could switch to Jim.

    1. CFC1990
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Thinking the same but Watford away won't be easy with the new manager bounce

    2. Jebiga
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Im keeping 101%.
      Classy and season keeper

    3. fusen
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Tammy has a goal in the previous game and a winnable fixture.

      I'm not sure it's really the best time to swap him out

    4. Arfaish
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      bha, BUR, new, ARS. He's not leaving my team

    5. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Cheers!

  12. CFC1990
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    Would anyone advise Alli to Martial this week

    1. Jebiga
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      But why ?
      Both can score

      1. CFC1990
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        Expected stats and RMT haha.

    2. fusen
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Martial seems incredibly inconsistent, if you're happy with that then do it for a punt

    3. Arfaish
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Not unless you need the cash

    4. A19
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      I did it. I think they will score similar amount of points overall and Martial is 1 mil cheaper

  13. ELMEO
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    2FT, 0 ITB. Burn a transfer here? The ones I would lose have decent enough fixtures to make me think should wait a week.

    Gazza
    TAA Soy Kelly
    KDB Mane Ali Grealish
    Vardy Rash Abraham

    (McG, Lund, Rico, DD)

    Cheers...

    1. Arfaish
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Grealish to Traore and Gazza to Kasper is an option. Id want Gazza out of my team

      1. ELMEO
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        Cheers - yes need Gazza out, probably looking to Fabs for the long term

  14. Gooner Kebab
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    Rashford out to Jimmy? Yay or nay?

    1. Strchld
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      No.

    2. It’s gonna Ben Mee

    Message for mods.

    When you set season ticker from GW21-38 it shows LIV/WHU double in gw23 instead 24, might be a little bit misleading for bloody casuals.

    1. fantasyfog

      bloody casuals grrrr

    Bench One plz
    A- Cantwell CRY (H)
    B- Grealish BUR (A)

    1. Arfaish
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Cantwell

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Same dilemma here. Cantwell at home and rested is more appealing than Grealish away to Burnley.

  17. fantasyfog
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    ings martial or rashford maddison

    1. Arfaish
      • 13 Years

      Rashford and maddison

  18. Champions League Varane

    GTG?
    Bench order OK?

    Ryan
    Rico, Soy, Kelly
    Mané, KdB, Alli, Traoré
    Vardy, Rashford, Ings

    Button, Maddison, Tomori, Lund

    1. gelisiguzel
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      I have put Traore on bench, I am not 100% sure though:) See below

    2. gelisiguzel
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      I would prefer Lunds over Tomori for possible attacking returns

  20. gelisiguzel

    6 years, 1 day ago

    GTG?

    Ryan
    TAA, Kelly, Aurier

    Who's Your C for GW 21 ?

    1. fusen
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Vardy

      Sensible and safe to stop any further red arrows

    2. trinzoo
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Vardy

    3. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Pukki as of now

    4. Azathoth
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Kevin

    5. Neo-Viper
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      KDB

  22. trinzoo
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    Start:
    A) Lundi
    B) Kelly

    Don't like Kelly lately, so willing to go A... thoughts?

  23. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    Have Grealish and Targett, 1.6 ITB and willing to take a hit - how would you deal with them?

    1. fusen
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      What's wrong with Grealish?

    2. trinzoo
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Targett 1st to go, Grealish is still fine.

  24. Pep Roulette
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    My ML rival team

    Pope
    TAA Aurier Soyuncu
    Salah Mane Martial Lucas Grealish
    Vardy Maupay

    Button DCL Rico Lundy

    My team

    Schmeichel
    TAA Aurier Kelly Rico
    Mane KDB Martial
    Kane Vardy Tammy

    Button Lundy D.Luiz Dendo

    He is ahead by 4 points! What moves should I make with 2 FT & 0 ITB?

    1. fusen
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      The only thing you need to do is guess correctly with the captaincy choice.

      And hope that Salah doesn't haul. You have a better team other than that.

      I would think about swapping your keeper though and upgrading a better 4th mid

      1. Pep Roulette
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        Schmeichel & Aurier to Fab & Evans?

    2. fantasyfog
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      kane to ings or dcl upgrade Luiz or dendo

    3. Azathoth
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Aurier to Gomez?

      1. Pep Roulette
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

    Suggestions on how to bring in Trent? Yes I screwed up recent wildcard...

    No cash but 2FT
    Want to do Aurier to Trent so thinking one of Rich or Alli down to somelike Sarr as a punt?
    Rashford to Jimmy also interesting but still need more funds to do Trent

    Guaita
    Aurier Soy Dunk Lund Rico
    Salah kdb Alli Rich Traore
    Vardy Rash Ings

      Tough

      Rash to Jimenez makes sense since the latter is doing enough in returns at better value

      How much is needed after that?

        0.7m short of Aurier Rash to Trent Jimmy
        Effectively Rash to 6.8m fwd if I wanted to do it in 2 moves and leave the midfield
        Rich has some nice fixtures coming after City
        Maybe Alli is the one to lose with some up & down games on the horizon?

    Thoughts on the below move using 2 FTs?

    Salah + Cathcart (if injured) to Martial + Robertson (+1.5itb for future upgrade)

    1. La Roja
      • 13 Years

      Why would you sell salah?

        looked pish the past two GWs

      Why transfer Salah? You might want him for dgw...

      1. La Roja
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        What he said

      2. jia you
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        would be going Mane + Trent + Robbo if I sell Mo

      Not sure about Martial

        liked what I've seen from him lately, playing with a smile on his face and working hard...perhaps he has finally knuckled down about his business!

    Ryan
    TAA Kelly Soy
    Alli KdB Mane Maddison
    Kane Vardy(c) Abraham

    Subs: Button/Rico/Lundstram/Dendoncker.

    Save FT?

    Important gameweek for Leicester assets, especially defence. If they fail again, we will probably have to plan for alternatives...

      Three good fixtures after Newcastle though.

        Have they failed? They got handled by city and Liverpool as expected, they should still batter the rest. But will be the first test of their mentality as they didn't even land a glove on either city or Liverpool so while the loss was expected the total humiliating manner of the defeat could affect their relatively inexperienced team

    3. La Roja

      2FT’s

      Which option chaps?

      A) Grealish Kane ➡ DCL Salah/Mane

      B) Maddison Kane ➡ Jimenez Salah/Mane

      1. jia you

        both look decent...as long as DCL keeps doing his thing and keeping his place in the team I'd side with that move just about.
        In saying that holding those three for another GW also looks decent lol
