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.

        just mocked up a wildcard selling players that I had a lot of money tied up in and its actually not a bad looking squad...perhaps I should just pull the trigger and have some fun 😉

        1. Pacer.

          6 years, 1 day ago

          It's what I do year in year out

          Tbh I value enjoying myself more than end of season rank though, so I may not be the best example!

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

            Yeah I play for fun also, finished with a high rank is just a nice added bonus but not enjoying this season much...perhaps a hungover NY's day wildcard could shake it up and go for a few wilder picks lol

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

      Sorry for top post lol, not my real team but a team I would own if I sold Vardy, Rashford and Jimenez (amongst others) on WC to get in triple Liverpool and change to a power 5 mid!
      Bored with the game tbh but will wait a couple of more GWs to shake things up I guess!

      1. Old Wulfrunian
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        The truth is that fpl is so boring the last 2-3 years.

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

          It isn't boring if you do well.

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

          social media and so called experts on all sorts of formats have sucked the fun out of it haha

          1. ChinaCraig6
            • 6 Years

            Ings likely to rest this gw

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

              could happen I guess but he's the in-form striker in the league atm!

              I think he's had his rest

    Hendo button
    Taa soy Kelly (Rico lund)
    Kdb mane Salah Maddison Graelish
    Vardy(c) Maupay (Mousset)

    1 ft 0 itb, anywhere i can improve this with 1 ft or save transfer?

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

      Save or switch to a different keeper

  3. 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 here? 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. Tucker
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      G2G I think. My only concern would be no United, but I think the extra premium in midfield makes up for it. I’d bank the transfer and captain either Salah or KDB

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

        Cheers!

    2. HNI
      • 12 Years

      Save and Maupay to Dcl nexg week

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

        Should have went for DCL last week. Still a bit unsure if Ancelotti will start him week in and week out.

  4. The Mighty Whites
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    Anyone know why Adam Webster didn’t play on Saturday and if he’ll regain his place?

    1. Wally banter
      • 12 Years

      Just rested

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

      Rested I think. He should but Duffy wants the spot as well

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

        Dunk Duffy combo did well last game!

        1. The Mighty Whites

      I don't think that West Ham will keep many clean sheets

        DGW coming up

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

          I know but if they get battered you wont be getting many points

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

          With two games they will probably lose in, maybe heavily, just going for save points?

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

          Well, you guys have some good points! Cheers!

    2 FT and not really sure what to do with this lot. 0.1 ITB:

    Guaita (McGovern)

    TAA, Kelly, Soy (Rico, Lundstram)

    Salah, KDB, Alli, Grealish (Cantwell)

    Vardy, Rashford, Maupay

    Any ideas?

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

      Maybe just switch the keeper or do Maupay to DCL. Could also get Mane in for Salah or for Alli by downgrading Rashford

      Moura

  13. Letsgo!

    Dont think mane will start against sheff?

    1. Old Wulfrunian
      • 9 Years

      I think both Mane and Salah will start.

    2. Totti
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      i think both will start
      as there is no need to rest them
      thew will rest already for 10 days

    Hanley.Lundstram.Targett?

    Pick 1 to start

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

      lundstram

  17. George Agdgdgwngo
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    Finding it difficult to let rashford go. But have martial and think Jimenez can cover rashfords points

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

      keep rashford

    2. Will Kane
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Same here. Well, not exactly because I don't have Martial but I agree about Jiminez. I've been brutally punished with a couple of recent transfers though, so I am scared to take Rashford out.

  18. fish&chips
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    Thoughts on Doherty for the next 3?

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

      Would be a great punt! CS, Assist, Goal! He can have all of them!

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

      They hardly ever get CS but he's so fun, basically lives in the opposition box.

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

      On a WC and was the first name on my wishlist. Got that stone cold 1/2 season wonder look about him. Won't be surprised if he just goes wild

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

        It's a shame Boly has been out, I feel like I would've got so many more points for Doherty, last season he was a winger pretending to be a defender but now with Traore holding the width, he seems more central and is pretty much a striker when they attack, links up with Jimenez well too.

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

    Best defender for 4.0?

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

      might as well get Reid in a 3.9, never know when you might need that extra 0.1

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

      Brandon Williams. He’ll play every now and again.

      yes

    2. Totti

      6 years, 1 day ago

      may be save
      or tammy to jimenez

  21. sailor x
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    I want to bring Martial in my team. Who needs to go out: Alli, Maddison or Rashford?

    1. Butcher
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Keep Rashford

      1. sailor x
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        OK, then Alli or Maddison?

        1. Butcher
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 1 day ago

          Neither. You already have Rashford. Maddison has good fixtures. Alli at a push but even then, I prefer Alli to Martial.

        2. Totti
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 1 day ago

          don't get martial mate
          rashford is enough
          alli and maddison better than him imho

          1. sailor x
            • 16 Years

            Thanks Totti & Jurgen, I will take your advice.

        Why save? Lol ings to jimmy looks like a better choice isnt it. For Free

    Week 24 is going to be a tricky one to get right.
    Liverpool have a double gameweek so a triple up is virtually a must, as is playing the TC chip.
    Most of the top teams also have a good fixture week 24 and I don't want to tear my team apart. I have had a a few good weeks and I'm really happy with my midfield and forward line how it is.
    West Ham play two of the top teams in the league so I will not be getting any of their players.

    This has led me to the following projected team...

    Guaita
    TAA (TC), Robertson, Van Dijk
    KDB, Alli, Martial, Maddison
    Vardy, Rashford, Ings

    Lundstram, Cantwell, Rico

    I'd love to fit Salah or Mane in but don't think it is worth tearing my team apart to do it.
    Any opinions on the above?

      Needs fabianski.

      Forget fixtures.

        That's a possibility, I do have a spare transfer before week 24.
        Thanks.

      Triple up defence is damn stupid

        Would you have said this last year?
        I had it then and finished in the top 5k.

    Play 1:

    A) Rico (whu) vs. ?new manager bounce
    B) Kelly (have Guaita). Double palace defence could be a differential

    Is TAA essential? Sold him before BGW and now difficult to fit in.

    Pope

    Aurier Lundstram Soyuncu

    Mane KDB Alli Maddison Grealish

    Vardy Abraham Rashford

      Yes downgrade Grealish and get TAA in for Aurier

      Essential if you want a good rank, one of the top 10 players in the league for very little money.

      season keeper mate
      you should get him back instead of aurier

      That's the question isn't it? I think the answer is yes - 32 points in his last two appearances and his points potential is off the scale when you watch how/where he is playing. I took him out for VVD two weeks ago which was pretty painful. Bringing him back in this week I think or next week at the latest.

    Is Kelly and Alli to Robertson and Cantwell a good move for free?

    It will give me:

    Pope
    Robertson, TAA, Soyuncu
    Mane, KDB, Grealish, Maddison
    Abraham, Vardy, Pukki

    4m, Cantwell, Rico, Lundstram

      pointless
      not now TAA is enough for now
