FFS Cup

The latest FFS Cup fixtures and results

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.

    Is there any disadvantage of playing second wildcard now? Do people tend to keep for DGWS etc?

    1. Kuzser
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Generally yes, but you may get significant advantage if you do it now in case your team needs big changes

    Hi all,who would you transfer Targett out for?

    1FT

    0.1 ITB

    My team is

    Guiata Button

    Soyuncu Lundstram Rico Targett Hanley

    Salah Mane Kdb Ali Richarlison

    Vardy Greenwood Ings.

    1. Sike
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Any help someone new?

      1. Sike
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        For*

    2. Will Kane
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I feel like you have way too much money in midfield. I would consider something along the lines of Richarlison to Cantwell and Targett to TAA (I have't checked the maths to see if that exact move is affordable).

      1. Sike
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        I think you may be right

        Appreciated but going with triple Liverpool are you sure?

        And in that case I would have to play a 4 back?

        1. Will Kane
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Personally I like the Liverpool triple up. I played my WC 2 weeks ago and brought in Salah and Mane. Admittedly, Salah hasn't paid off yet but I still feel there is huge potential and obviously there is the double gameweek on the horizon. Unfortunately for me, I went for VVD over TAA to save a bit of cash - have learnt the hard way that TAA is more or less essential, so I'm getting him back either this GW or the next. And yes, things could be a bit tricky in terms of your formation because of having Greenwood. You could play Cantwell in a five man midfield but he is a rotation risk. Possibly in the longer term you could try and upgrade Greenwood to Calvert-Lewin...?

    3. Chelsea91
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Salah to maddy, get taa

      1. Sike
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Will consider thanks for opinions

  4. StoichkovFPL
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Better pick:

    a) Martial
    b) Jimenez

    1. KINGS
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Martial if I have to pick one

    2. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Jimenez

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

      I have both.

      1. StoichkovFPL
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        ok

    4. fc_skrald
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I want to bring un borh for a -4 hit this gw..

  5. Kuzser
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Thanks to Kdb (c) and mane my gw was rescued. How does that look and what is the best strategy to get extra Liv player?
    3 transfers over the next 3 weeks

    1) Alli Grealish Jiménez-> Salah dendo Dcl (don’t like loosing Jimi and Alli is playing at home vs Norwich)
    2) Grealish kelly Rico -> dendo Vvd/robbo 4.0 def

    Ramsdale
    Taa Soy kelly
    Maddison Mane Kdb Alli
    Vardy Ings Jiménez

    Button Grealish Rico Lundstram

  6. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Is it worth getting Fabianski?

    1. Lebowski85
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I've gone for it, as I've always been a fan & think Moyes will tighten things up. I would understand if someone wanted to wait though.

      However....home to Bournemouth seems a good time to start tightening up at the back.

      1. Pep Roulette
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Would you​ do Schmeichel & Aurier to Fab & Evans for free?

    2. claretparrot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I quite like it. I have Pope so may as well wait and see this week, but it's on the radar!

  7. Baros Boy
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Pope
    TAA Soy Rico
    Salah KDB Martial Maddison
    Vardy Jimmy Tammy

    Henderson Kelly Lundstram Dendonker

    1FT....
    1.3m itb

    Bit worried about my weak bench with potential benching for KDB / Tammy / Salah....

    Considering getting on the Traore bandwagon for DD (although does leave me with benching headache)

    Thoughts please?

    1. claretparrot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I'd hold and take 2FT into next week

  8. claretparrot
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Pretty poor week - 80k rank drop - but still can't see the obvious use for 2 FT this week.. Any thoughts!?

    2 FT, 2.7 ITB

    Pope
    Trent - Rico - Soy
    Salah - Madds - Grealish - KdB
    Ings - Vardy (C) - Jiménez
    [Button - Cantwell - Kelly - Lund]

    Thanks!

    1. OLLY G
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Grealish to Martial

      1. claretparrot
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks, mate. I've been stung by Utd assets so many times that I'm boycotting them this season!

    2. Baros Boy
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Grealish to Adama

      1. Baros Boy
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Could also consider changing keepers??

  9. EgyptianKing
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Hi mates. Any feedback? 1 FT 0.1 itb.

    Thinking of just rolling FT.

    Pope
    Aurier, Tomori, Chilwell
    Martial, Alli, Mane, KDB
    Vardy, Rash, Abraham

    Button, Cantwell, Lundstram, Williams

    Cheers!

    1. claretparrot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Think hold is the right move this week. Tomori or Aurier could become someone like Holgate afterwards?

  10. MikeLowrey
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Pukki & Alli to Jiménez & Martial a no brainer? Team below

    Henderson
    TAA Digne Soyuncu
    Salah KDB Alli Grealish
    Vardy Abraham Pukki

    (Button Lundstram Kelly Dendoncker)

    1. claretparrot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Not bad moves. Better with Madds in my opinion

  11. CFC1990
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Is Kelly and Alli to VVD and Traore a good move for free?

    It will give me:

    Pope
    VVD, TAA, Soyuncu
    Mane, KDB, Traore, Maddison
    Abraham, Vardy, Pukki

    4m, Grealish, Rico, Lundstram

  12. Do I Not Like Orange
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Is anyone considering using the TC chip on Liverpool's DGW? Personally I will have Mane & Salah, but don't like the fixtures enough to use a chip on them. Think I'll roll the dice and hope that a Vardy or KDB has a better double in the later rounds.

    1. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Not sure, I definitely won't be using it on a Liv player in the later DGWs if they've already wrapped up the title.

    2. Miniboss
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Considered it but will leave later, just because it's more fun and I've burnt myself with early TC before.

    3. OldBenKenobi
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Between TAA and Salah but yeah I’ll likely be using it

    4. The_Fish
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I'm 99% using it then.

    5. Snevitz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Yes, best time to use it.
      Provably on TAA for me as I will have triple Liverpool defence but obviously Salah or Mane are the prime options.

  13. G Banger
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    GTG?... open to reccomendations!

    Ryan
    TAA Kelly Soy
    Mane Alli KDB Cantwell
    Jiminez Maupay Vardy (C)

    Button Grealish Rico Lundstrum

    1. OldBenKenobi
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Grealish over Maupay?

  14. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Chances of Tammy being rested this week?

    1. Black Panther
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Very unlikely. Most teams will be full strength next GW because they can rest players in the FA cup this weekend.

  15. The Ejiptian King
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    GW rank 6m, pretty cool as Klopp would say.

  16. checkit_j
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    What do with this motley crew?

    2ft 0.7itb

    Gazza

    Soy Rico Kelly Taa Lund
    Salah Maddi Moura Kdb Dendo
    Vardy Ings Rash

    1. G Banger
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Lose Gazza... much better options out there... Ryan for fixtures?

      1. checkit_j
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Do I wait till after the Southampton fixture though? Ramsdale or Ryan?

        1. G Banger
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Wait one then Ryan... don't trust Bournemouth defence at all

  17. fish&chips
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Guita,
    TAA, Aurier, Lund, Kelly, 
    KDB, Grealish, Alli, Madds, Cantwell, 
    Rashford, Vardy, Kane

    2 FT, 0.4 ITB

    a) Grealish -> Traore
    b) Grealish & Aurier -> Doherty & Traore
    c) something else

    NB. Happy for no Liverpool mids until GW24

  18. MSTRKRFTSMN
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Looking at the fixtures I think it’s time to switch. It’s my keepers, and hopefully save some cash. Have Pope and Henderson, and they’ve worked well for me but think it’s time to change both. Hat are the recommended cheap keepers for second half of the season?

    1. OldBenKenobi
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I’ve both myself but not changing just yet. I’ve more important moves to think about. Seeing love for Fab but not sure myself

  19. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Best defender for up to 6.0 ?

    1. claretparrot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Given fixtures, something Foxy

    2. OldBenKenobi
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Maybe Everton def after this GW?

  20. Dynamic Duos
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Morning all! Is this team G2G on a -4 atm.

    Pope
    TAA Soyuncu Hanley
    Salah KDB Martial Cantwell
    Vardy Rashford Jiminez

    Button Grealish Tomori Lundstram

    1. claretparrot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Start Tomori over Hanley. I'm doing Grealish over Cantwell myself, too, but that's a closer call

  21. OLLY G
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Bottomed

    (A) Martial and Ings

    (B) Maddison and Tammy

    Thanks.

    1. claretparrot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      B. Do you have Jimémez?

      1. OLLY G
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        No. Doing surgery for triple Liverpool. Still unsure on Salah or double defence.

        1. claretparrot
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Got to be Jimi over Tammy in B then

  22. JJ123
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated, 2FT 0.0 ITB

    Ramsdale Button

    Soyuncu Lundstram Willems TAA Kelly

    Mane KDB Grealish Zaha Maddison

    Kane Rashford Greenwood

    Thanks a lot!

    1. OLLY G
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I would ditch Kane to upgrade Greenwood/Grealish/Zaha personally.

      Maybe Ings & Martial.

  23. anish10
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Play Grealish or Cantwell

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I'm playing Cantwell myself, but Pope in net has sorted of swayed me.

    2. Snevitz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Grealish, more nailed and central to everything.

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Except for last game when he got moved to the left wing

        1. Snevitz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          He still has set pieces though doesn't he?

  24. FPLShaqiri
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Danny Ings has played in all 20 League games this season. Crazy considering he's regarded as pretty much the most injury prone player there is (after Wilshere).

    1. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Ings has absolutely murdered me in my ML this past month or so, he's been so good, doubt he'll be at Southampton next season if he stays fit for all of this one.

  25. The Ejiptian King
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    I really don't like Grealish for the upcoming fixtures but can't see a better alternative around his price point, can't get Traore because I'm already maxed out on Wolves annoyingly. Perez is way too punty right? I like that he's back at his former club next but his minutes are so inconsistent.

    1. El Presidente
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      On Wolves?? With?

      1. The Ejiptian King
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Doherty, Dendo, Jimenez.

    2. OldBenKenobi
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Mount?

      1. The Ejiptian King
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Hmm maybe actually, I hadn't even considered him, I might still keep Grealish for Burnley and then re-evaluate with 2FT, I do think he'll blank though.

  26. Stimps
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Worth a hit?

    Rashford, Grealish, Aurier -> Jiminez, Martial, VVD

    1. OldBenKenobi
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Dunno about that

    2. Zladan
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Wouldn’t sell Rashford in his form with Arsenal and Norwich coming up.

  27. Sike
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Targett to whom?

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Holgate,Ogbonna

    2. Wally banter
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Colgate

      1. Sike
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        In that case would you just roll the ft?

        As holgate has Man City...

  28. Wally banter
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Thoughts on Sarr?
    Haven't watched watford matches, but stats looks decent.

  29. Egg noodle
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Firmino Kelly to DCL Robbo?

  30. pedro-tacuara
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    How has Maddison looked? Currently being transfered out, but im now looking to bring in. Reckon he could outscore Martial?

    1. Snevitz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      He had tricky fixtures and people have no patience. I'm keeping for the next few games at least.

      1. BadaBing
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Leicester have a good run of fixtures. I’m holding for now.
