FFS Cup

The latest FFS Cup fixtures and results

We have reached the semi-final stage of both the FFS Members Cup and the FFS Cup, with four managers falling by the wayside in each competition in Gameweek 23.

Because of the swift turnaround, both tournaments took a planned hiatus in Double Gameweek 24 but will return this weekend.

FFS CUP

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

The semi-final draw in full can be accessed here or viewed below.

Mataatti is our highest-ranked manager left in this competition, having beaten SAMc273 in the last eight.

A remarkable run of 12 green arrows came to an end in Gameweek 24 for Mataatti but he still sits inside the top 5k ahead of the weekend’s games.

Our only manager left in either competition who sits outside of the top 100,000 lives to fight another day: stamfordbridge saw off Gamesz Rodriguez 52-32 to qualify for the semi-finals.

AMEY and Philman were the winners of our other quarter-finals, beating Khurram Shah and TOMYG84 respectively.

FFS MEMBERS CUP

The scores from the quarter-finals of the 2019/20 FFS Members Cup are available by clicking here.

The semi-final draw in full can be accessed here or viewed below.

Our highest-ranked entrant left in either competition exited at the quarter-final stage.

frankiem, now at an incredible 10th in the world, lost 65-46 to Just-In-Cider, who himself has climbed from 236,378th to inside the top 10k in just four Gameweeks.

We do have one manager remaining inside the top 1,000, however.

Becker Call Saul beat FPL_Cot 28-27 in a low-scoring affair and, after a bumper Double Gameweek 24, now sits at 826th overall.

Pep Pig and maxp1907 were the winners of our other quarter-finals, beating robharr and Ryszard Dorocicz respectively – maxp1907’s victory coming by a single point.

  4. Robson-Canoe
    • 8 Years

    Would you start Lundstram (cry) or Lascelles (NOR)?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Lascelles easily

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

      Lascelles

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

      Lundstram has likely lost his spot, easily Lascelles

    4. Robson-Canoe
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Lascelles it is, thanks all

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

    Wolves have signed a Portugese winger, Podence. Likely to affect Adama?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Doubt it

    End of Lord Lundy with Sander Berge apparently on a medical today?

    1. The Bonus Magnet
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Think the Lundstram issue is his contract. Expires in summer with 1 year extension option but club and manager want him to sign new deal n he hasnt yet. Pure guess work but its possible that they planning for life without him until he signs a new deal.

      1. The Bonus Magnet
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Recent Wilder quote: "I’d get it signed if I was some of them, I wouldn’t hang about too much. This group has been great but I think they recognise that I won’t stand still."

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

      I was just going to post about this. Berge is a holding mid tho and Lundtram doesnt sit, hes the more box to box type but I suppose his spot is more vulnerable.
      Any SU fans about ? to add some insight ?

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        SU fans are a bit impartial when it comes to Lundy, they've wanted him dropped since pre season

    3. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Besic is already providing loads of competition for Lundstram. Fleck has been the more advanced cm of late so Berge over lund wouldn't surprise me but will likely time to settle in. Lund plays this weekend but on a WC I'd defo go Baldock or Stevens as my Sheff U defender. Possibly JOC if funds restricted as yes Lund is far from nailed now

      1. antis0cial
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Is Egan nailed if funds are even more stretched? 🙂

        1. Tsparkes10
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Yhhh I guess so haha

  9. Pep Pig
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Good luck @Amey and Pig 😀

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years

      Ha ha
      Thank you & GL to you Pep Pig !!

  10. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Start Fleck or Lascelles?

    1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Fleck

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Lascelles

  11. Zladan

    1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      So no DGW 25

      1. Holmes

      DGW info released yet?

  12. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    58 points from 4 DGW players. No Mane and TC saved but somehow still a small red arrow. Tough crowd

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

      Well done saving the TC chip.
      I've wasted it second year running

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Not on Mane surely? 😯

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

          Guess:

          Name of Both players ends with "ane"

          😀

  13. Roy Rovers
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Play one.....

    A - Rico
    B - Lund
    C - Kelly

    Ryan
    TAA Soy ??
    Salah KDB Traoré Grealish
    Vardy Auba Ings

    Martin Rico Kelly Lund Cantwell

    1. Roy Rovers
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Auba has the C at the moment but keep switching to Salah.

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      C

      1. Roy Rovers
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        With Ward coming back?

        1. Miguel Sanchez
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Yeah - Kelly will either start or unlikely to come off bench

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

    Couple of quick questions

    1) Is it worth doing a Vardy > Auba for 3gw's and then reversing the move in gw28
    2) Alternatively i could keep Vardy and do something like Mane / DCL >> Troare/Auba but DCL has scored 2 in 2 and still has two decent fixtures left

  15. Tsparkes10
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Exact funds for Maupay, Alli, Mane to Jimi, Greal, Salah? (-4)

    1. Rhodes your boat
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Looks tasty

    2. _Ninja_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Dont think i'd bother with Maupay to Jimmi for a hit. Do it for free next week.

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Fair argument cheers

    3. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Just do Alli+Mane to Grealish+Salah for free

  16. Rhodes your boat
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    What to do with 1FT 0.5itb

    A) moura to Traoré (allows dcl to jimi- exact cash)

    Best replacements for Lundstram and Kelly? 0.4 itb
    Have TAA, VVD and Soyuncu

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

      and McCarthy on goal

    2. Tsparkes10

  19. Wheato182

    People keeping Mane or getting rid? sounds like he'll just be out for this gameweek then has a nice fixture against Norwich.

    1. kamdaraji
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      keeping

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Some are keeping, many are getting rid and switching to double defense

    3. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Unsure

    4. Rhodes your boat
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Keeping

    5. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Could be off the bench vs Norwich though

      1. Wheato182
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Maybe but second guessing in my view.

        Think he'll start after 2 weeks off myself.

        1. Baps hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          I already ditched him and Vardy (for KdB and Wood), my plan is to get him back after Norwich for Son or Martial. Everyone is using that money Liverpool dd and getting Auba or Kun. My plan is to get another Shu def instead of Robbo/VvD and have both Salah and Mane.

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

      easy swap to Salah

      1. Wheato182
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        already have him otherwise thats what i'd be doing.

    7. Wheato182
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I'll lose 0.4 on him but know i'll want him straight back, think its just gonna be a grin and bare.

      1. YuvalFPL
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        after stupidly transferring him out before the world club cup game, i've lost all my value in him. i'll most likely be transferring him and greenwood out for auba and cheap mid for a -4. doub't he'll play many minutes against norwich.

  20. kamdaraji
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    team GTG for GW25? Am thinking of playing 5 at the back this week!

    Mccarthy
    Lascelles Digne TAA Lund Rico
    Salah(c) KDB Maddison
    Vardy DCL

    Bench order: Gaz,Ings,Dendoncker,Mane. Already used my 1 FT to get in Lascelles for Soy and free up a bit of cash

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

      Play Ings over Rico

    2. kamdaraji
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Don't really want to be starting Rico or Lund but feel my hand is drawn this week given that I already made my 1 FT. Alternatively could start Ings instead of either Rico or Lund

  21. Link
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Giving some serious thought to a wildcard.

    From:

    Ryan
    Robbo - Trent - Lund - Soy - Rico
    Salah - Kdb- Maddison - Richardson - Snodgrass
    Vardy - Ings - Greenwood

    To:

    HENDERSON
    Robbo - Trent - O'CONNELL - LASCELLES - Rico
    Salah - Kdb - GREALISH - TRAORE (HAYDEN)
    Vardy - Ings - AUBA

    Pull the trigger? Worth it or nope?

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

      Not worth it imo

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      They’re not exactly must picks. Your team not could easy outscore that WC

      1. Link
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Actually seeing it typed out in bold like that - I think I agree. Thanks all.

    3. Long ago I drew a walrus
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      If you're wildcarding there's zero reason to keep Rico and would probably ditch Vardy too. A lot of wildcarders are doing so to ditch Mane and reinvest that money in the front line whilst going to double LIV def. You've already got double LIV def so you're halfway there, would be better to save.

      1. Link
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Think people are being too quick (or too late now!) to ditch Vardy. Got him at 8.9 and there's some very nice fixtures in the not so distant future so I'm inclined to keep him.

    4. _Ninja_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      5 of your new players have a blank gw28 so i wouldnt do it.

      1. Link
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        A really good point.

    5. BERGKOP
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Don't like O'Connell or Rico. Otherwise GTG

  22. The Final Boss
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Lund a risk now?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Yes

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Would like to hear from some Sheff U fans on this? I think it could be overthinking. He’s been one of their best players

  23. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Soy >> Fernandez and roll my FT here? Or ship Mané? 2FTs.

    1. Bavarian

      4 years, 2 months ago

      Why losing Soy?

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        1 clean sheet and return in 9GWs? Why on earth not?

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

          He's a sure starter which is not the case for Lund anymore

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

            and Ndidi is back

            1. RAFA THE GAFFA
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 2 months ago

              Ndidi didn’t miss that many games. They conceded twice against Villa too

  24. YuvalFPL

    4 years, 2 months ago

    morning all. king mo delivered the goods and i'm up to 8k OR.

    trying to rationalise potentially the first hit of the season...

    do we back Auba to get 4 more points than either Williams/Greenwood/Aurier.

    1. ratchet

      Yes

    Anything worth a hit? If not which move would you prioritise next GW?
    A. Vardy to Auba
    B. Soy to VVD
    C. Tammy to Jimenez

    Best replacement for Mane? Already have KDB & Salah

      i'm strongly considering bringing in Auba for a hit and changing to 3 up top. no appealing mids apart from salah and KDB really.

      Could downgrade to Traore or Son and go double 'pool defence or Auba in attack?

      Yeah i want Aubameyang in but just waiting ti see if he somehow goes to Barcelona

      aubameyang has a blank gameweek 28. so might hold off

    Plan was to bring fleck for cantwell..since Sheffield has no fixture on 28..do I need to look somewhere else?have salah and Mane greenwood also is it worth taking a minus 4 to get rid of Mane and greenwood to auba and traore?

    Really wish that curling effort from Salah which struck the post hit the back of the net.. another 15 points would have been beautiful!

      no point thinking about that now. 48 points is a very good haul!

        you could have a number of ifs and buts. what if Salah missed the penalty?, what if he didn't get the assist etc

        1. IRBOX ⚽

          Never in doubt.. 16 is a fantastic result for TC you are correct sir

      Tbh he should have scored against Wolves too.

      We were unlucky not to get one more attacking return atleast.

      Yeah. But 16 points from the chip is good. Would of only meant 21 so nothing to get too upset with

      1. kamdaraji
        • 14 Years

        it was also salah's highest away haul for a very long time

    Is Salah really essential on a WC? I'm really tempted to go TAA, VVD and Robbo and get Kun and Auba.

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years

      Silly to go without a Liverpool attacker given the fixtures..

    2. YuvalFPL
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I would say Salah, TAA & KDB are essential yes.

    3. Long ago I drew a walrus
      • 13 Years

      Salah is better than both of them

    4. PortoGuy

      Personally think triple of any team at the back is a bit too much and that going without one of Mane or Salah is risky as well.

      Thanks all. I'll keep Salah
