The latest FFS Cup fixtures and results

The draws for the sixth round of the FFS Members Cup and the seventh round of the FFS Cup have taken place following the completion of Gameweek 21.

The seventh round draw in full can be accessed here.

Our highest-ranked manager in round six (more of whom below) made it through to the round of 16.

Teddy Brewski, still chasing a cup double, beat robharr to progress to the next stage.

He will play TOMYG84 in round seven.

Our only all-top 10k clash in Gameweek 22 sees Mataatti take on Leggend2: this is the former’s third successive meeting with a manager inside the top 10,000 at the point of the tie.

Our only two remaining site users who lie outside the top 100k and who remain in the FFS Cup, stamfordbridge and A Team Has No Name, meet each other in the last 16.

FFS MEMBERS CUP

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

The sixth round draw in full can be accessed here.

An impressive four of our remaining 16 managers – including the aforementioned Teddy Brewski – are currently inside the top 1k.

Our highest-ranked entrant left in either competition remains at 14th in the world after Gameweek 21.

frankiem, who first entered the top 1k four months ago, defeated Emm7980 and will meet prbaker1980 in the sixth round.

ActorJeff and BeckerCallSaul, who have overall ranks of 388th and 586th respectively, also progressed.

The aforementioned TeddyBrewski saw off moderator TorresMagic in the first Gameweek of 2020 and will next play robharr – who he coincidentally defeated in round six of the FFS Cup.

    Whoa.. Martial flag. Hadn't picked up on that.
    What's the story?

      Ill, Probably skiving. Expect him back straight away.

        Good he owes me. Third time owner this season (I must be crazy)

    2. One Wheels Enough

      Got cold hands...

    3. SouthCoastSaint

      Hopefully out for midweek too and fresh for Norwich

    Anyone else wondering when on earth to play the second WC?

    For me waiting for a DGW has been much more miss than hit in recent years. Quite happy with my team at the moment, too.

    1. Winter_is_coming
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I`m agreeing with popular trend-opinion - if your rank nearly 100k don`t play it now and wait till the last dgw, if your ranks is 300-400-500k and you want to attack it - play now or near to now.

    2. Ian J
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Play it when you’ve been on the end of a few red arrows or have an injury ravaged team or there a real change in the template, otherwise wait for a DGW - at the moment there’s nothing wrong with taking a hit or two to get the player(s) you need.
      Think of January to May as a new season & see if you can climb rank - good luck

      1. Rasping Drive
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        thanks for the input chaps

    3. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      When we know a little more about the FA cup draws and after that round in late january things will be more clear, my best second half season in fpl was when i activated it after that fourth round and i knew there was some teams and players i could jump early on and did not have blanks, i was on King early, Lukaku and Shaqiri, and a cheap defense which worked because i had doubles from two teams (think it was Everton and Bou) who had some cs, and i remember the blanks i had a double up from Everton and they got a cleanie and Coleman scored or assisted.
      Last two years i´ve waited and it has been only to preserve the rank, improved a little but in the end, like last year i´m not sure it was the best idea, fell from 6k to 25k last 3 weeks, and ended up approximately where i was before i wildcarded.

      If one can identify players and teams that emerges in this run up to the blanks and doubles it could also be a very powerful way of climbing through the ranks, and if FH the wildcard in it self is not that important as you can save a tranny and give yourself a mini wc to end up with almost the same team as wildcarders anyway.

    Kelly of Rico?

    Palace defence looks horrid now. Riedewald who was 3rd choice - very non specialist LB - is now crocked. But no great memories of starting Rico - he’s on a net 1 point from 3 for me 🙂

    1. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Neither? How about a Watford defender? Seemed to have tightened up since Pearson took the helm

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

        Have Kiko but he’s flagged. Might start him with Rico first bench I suppose

        1. Flynny
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          I have both and both are awful

    2. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      owning one is perhaps ok, still think Palace is more sound defensively, but as i expected that also been less tight when all injuries happened.

  4. Jullepuu
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    What to do here? 1 free transferrs and 0.6 in the bank

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

    Aurier to Holgate maybe or would Sodibe be a better choice?

  5. DannyDrinkVodka

      Seriously

  7. Lignja
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    How is this plan looking?
    1ft 1.6m itb

    Pope
    Taa, Soyuncu, Lundstram
    Mane, Kdb, Alli, Traore
    Abraham, Vardy, Rashford

    Msrtin, Kelly, Rico, Dendoker

    Gw22 Alli to Son
    Gw23 save
    Gw24
    a. Rashford, Rico to Robertson, Ings
    b. Son, Rashford to Salah, Ings

  8. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Good plans?

    Schmeichel (Button)
    TAA B.Williams Lundy (Kelly Rico)
    Mane KDB Martial Traore (Dendo)
    Kane Vardy Tammy

    GW22 - Kane to DCL
    GW23 - Tammy to Maupay
    GW24 - Traore to Salah

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

      Defence looks rough....Lundstram tough fixtures....Rico and Kelly need to go and B Williams? He even start?

      1. Pep Roulette
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Lundstram has good fixtures. Only City is a tricky one!
        B.Williams might start now after horrendous performances from Shaw.

  9. Winter_is_coming
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    If I already have taken hits (-8), but will play Wildcard after it, will point hits be cleared?

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

      Yes

      1. Winter_is_coming
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks, mate, by the way, my rank is 400k and I don`t have Salah/Mane, have deadwoods like Alli/Kane/Zaha. This team can be fixed with -8, -12 point hits, but now I`m more tempted to play WC, what do you think about it?

        1. HamezMace
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Best thing to do is post your current team, and what you’d change on a potential WC.

          1. Winter_is_coming
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Thanks for helping.

            Current team:
            Pope - 4,0
            Soyuncu - TAA - Lundstram - Kelly - Aurier
            Alli - KDB - Maddison - Zaha - Cantwell
            Rashford - Vardy - Kane

            Potential wc:
            Fabianski - McCarthy
            Sidibe - Soyuncu - TAA - Lundstram - Dunk
            Salah - KDB - Martial - Maddison - Cantwell
            Vardy - Jimenez - DCL

            Mane in or KDB for dgw.

            1. HamezMace
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              Do it as a new post mate, you’ll get more replies.

              But for me it’s not worth a WC.

              Kane and Alli to Salah and Jiminez or Ings is enough.

            2. bench boost for every gamew…
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              Looking at the quality of changes, i say wc looks god as it looks more rounded in defence, Kelly time is soon over, Spurs assets, Zaha and Palace is in bad state and Kane is injured long term. On a wc i would perhaps go Maddison over Martial. I know Norwich next but long term (next 3 weeks) you would want Maddison and you already planned a move there for 24 so that would cause you new problems. Your goalkeeper combination looks good until around blankd and dgws, check out the fa cup draw because that could possibly open up some possible outcomes on which teams who faces a probable blank or not

  10. olidooley
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    I won’t have Mané for DGW24....Salah (TC), Robbo and TAA....who’s with me?!

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

      r.i.p

    2. Pep Roulette
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Salah Mane TAA is the way to go

    3. G Banger
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Salah (TC), Mane, TAA for me!

  11. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Cup games midweek?
    Wondering when I can make my sweet upgrade from Alli to Salah

  12. Sz21
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Ramsdale.
    TAA, Soyuncu, Holgate.
    Grealish, KDB, Mane, Salah.
    Maupay, Abraham, Vardy.
    Stek, Lundstram, Dendoncker, Kelly.
    2ft's, 0.0m.

    Thinking of just moving Kelly out for Williams or even Gibson. Saves a little bit of cash. I am not bothered whether he becomes nailed or not. 3rd sub anyway.

    1. Just Kelly -> Williams/ Gibson (filler position) this GW and re-assess.
    2. Kelly -> Williams/ Gibson + Maupay -> DCL
    3. Other move(s).

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

    Lads, a quick advise please?

    Here's my team, with 2 ft:

    Ramsdale
    Chilwell, TAA, Sidibé, Lundstram, Kelly
    Salah, KDB, Maddison, Grealish, Traoré
    Vardy, Abraham, Jiménez

    Keep? Kelly to 4.0, Ramsdale to Ryan for free worth it?

    Also: Bench boost? Or play one of Traoré (NEW), Grealish (MCI), Lundstram (WHU)?

    1. G Banger
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Like the team, but Ramsdale removal would be my priority

    2. Aeu96197
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Yes

  14. Jebiga
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Would you bench Holgate and play Moura ? Im also playing Alli this GW...

  15. G Banger
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Ahoy, hoy!... Thoughts on this lot?

    Ryan (Button)
    TAA / Soyunco / Lundstram (Kelly / Rico)
    Salah / Mane / KDB / Grealish (Cantwell)
    Maupay / Jiminez / Vardy

    1 FT with 0.4 in the bank.

    a) Transfer Kelly or Rico
    b) Transfer Maupay
    c) Something else?!

    1. Pep Roulette
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      A

  16. GoonerByron
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone else actually planning to get some West Ham in for the DGW? There’s always surprise big scorers in DGWs..

    Currently looking at a starting 11 of this..

    Ryan
    TAA* - Ogbonna* - Aurier
    Salah (TC)* - KDB - Martial - Grealish
    Firmino* - Haller* - Vardy

    1. Pep Roulette
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      None.

    2. Blunder fc
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Fabianski for all those saves

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

      Fabianski, and maybe Masuaku in to replace Kelly if he looks like playing.

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

      My man Flappyhandski

    5. Lord.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I think there will be better options for the TC chip.

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

        I really don't.

        Liverpool in a single game DGW, with 1 week between games.. Perfect week for a TC IMO.

      2. HamezMace
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        I posted about this on the last page.
        What are you hoping for as a better option?

        1. Lord.
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          I’m hoping there will be a tasty DGW involving City, United or Leicester arising from the League Cup final blank.

          1. HamezMace
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            So you’d rather use TC on Rashford than Salah/Mane?

            1. Lord.
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              I was thinking more of Vardy but Rashford could easily be an enticing option. TBH the 4th Round draws makes GW24 more attractive, but it’s still two away games, one of which should be tough.

  17. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    How many DGWs & BGWs we will have this year? Any idea?

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

      Follow Ben crellin on Twitter

    2. Lord.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      GW24, plus the rearrangements arising from the League Cup Final on 1 March, and the FA Cup Quarter and Semi-finals; so could be as many as four.

  18. Flynny
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Who is the better kane replacement (and salah enabler)

    A...jiminez, 7.5m and some tricky fixtures

    B....dcl, 5.9m and easier fixtures.

    Not looking at ings as rivals who I'm chasing have

    Thanks

    1. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Easy A for me

    2. GoonerByron
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Haller 😉

      1. Flynny
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Haller isn't an option for me. Thanks!

  19. OneDennisBergkamp
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Play..
    Traore (new) or Grealish (MCI)

    1. OneDennisBergkamp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      oh Traore is (NEW) so I will prob go with him.....

    2. GoonerByron
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Difficult one.. Grealish, just.

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

      Grealish. Newcastle will park the bus

  20. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Cant decide on how to structure my team going forward...which combo would you like from gw24 onwards

    1A) Aurier + Mane + DCL/Maupay
    1B) Robbo + Martial + Rashford

    2) Best def upto 4.2m? I think main options are Kiko, C.Taylor, Hanley.......leaning towards Hanley as the norwich captain so he should be the most nailed. even though they may never keep a cs

    1. Pep Roulette
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      1)A) Although I would change Aurier to anyone!

      2) Punt on Brandon Williams?

      1. Eleven Hag
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Wish Ole starts him every gaame

  21. Laurel and Vardy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Quick question: Is Fuchs a viable cheap def option at Leicester now, after a couple of starts and good performance? 0.1 short of doing Tomori to Soy.

    Thanks.

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

      Nope

    2. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      No he can't be

    3. Laurel and Vardy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Thanks both, thought so, might ditch Guaita for Schmeichel instead, as I need some Lei def coverage.

  22. The Darkest Knight
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    in absence of Wesley at Villa... Kodija is nailed right?

    In order to get Mane and TAA... I have to get Kodija or Ayew.

    1. HamezMace
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Villa heavily linked with any striker who might be available in the window.

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

      He'll prob lead the line vs Leicester in the EFL Cup, but Smith suggested he'll try and get a new striker in before City, so I'm not sure its worth it. Keinan Davis is another option but isn't 100% fit yet.

      1. HamezMace
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Who are you hoping for mate?

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

          Giroud, not sure it's realistic but I think he'd do well with Grealish playing off him.

          1. HamezMace
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Absolutely, Giroud would be a great option for you guys.
            I’m not sure why more clubs aren’t interested in him.
            Would do well at Palace too.

  23. Cojones of Destiny
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Alli + Rash -> Mane + DCL (-4) Y/N?

    *feel Alli is 2pointer vs pool, got Salah thx

    1. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Mane cud return low scores as well vs spurs and manutd

  24. Eleven Hag
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Dear Guaita owners,

    Are you selling him now OR keeping for good fixtures post city game?

    1. Cojones of Destiny

      I'm keeping because it's only two bad games followed by some nice fixtures. Feels like a luxury move and there isn't any stand out replacements out there. Guaita can get many save points too

      I’m getting rid even with Son back they looked lacklustre yesterday fixtures turn now and Mourinho bounce warn off.

    Any adovcates of an early wildcard rather then waiting for a Double week?

    Any key weeks for fixtures swings you'd be looking at?

    Hey all. Thoughts on bets option. Pretty sure of Alli out but have 3 thoughts. Don’t know weather I should get Mane and Salah for DGW or double defence as Mane May inbalancd my side.

    Ramsdale
    TAA, Lundstram, Sidibe
    Salah, KDB, Alli, Grealish
    Vardy, Rashford, Ings
    Soyuncu, Kiko, Stephens

    A)Maddison
    B)Sarr
    C)Traore

    What combo is better to accommodate Salah in my team for gw24?
    1) Grealish and Jiménez
    2) Maddison and DCL

    The rest of front 8 will be:
    Mane- KDB - Salah - X (Hayden)
    Vardy - Ings - X

      I prefer Maddison + Calvert-Lewin but its close.

      Can you move to 352 and play grealish and maddison?

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

        Yes, but then will have stay with Vardy and Ings , and do Jiménez-> Greenwood
