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 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.

    After 3 Pool what are the 5 best players to get if on WC?

    1. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Aguero
      KDB
      Jimenez
      Ings
      SHU def

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

      I’d say,
      KdB
      Jiminez
      Grealish

      And then some budget options to see you though the blanks.

    3. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Jimenez, Kun/Auba, KdB, Grealish, SHU defender

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

      Henderson
      Stevens/Baldock
      Grealish
      2-3 of Vardy/Kun/Auba/Jimenez/Ings

    5. Big Al Stankovic
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      KdB
      Ings
      Southampton defender
      Sheffield United defender
      Auba

    6. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Auba, KDB, Ings, Jimenez, Sheff Utd defender

    Bench Mane or sell?

    Got Salah and thats a lot of money to be on the bench

    1. Big Al Stankovic
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Depends on selling value. If you recently bought Mane, I’ ship him out now.

      1. CelticBhoy1
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Juts glanced at Lpool's fixtures and they are amazing.

        Thinking it could make sense to have both after this game?

    2. Bury94
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Personally I'm keeping but there's arguments for and against both. Depends what you do with the money. If you don't have Salah it's an easy swap

  3. Nailed Jesus
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Since Mane is injured:
    1. Play Targett (bou)
    2. Play Rico (AVL)
    3. Targett > Fernandez (NOR) and play him.

    Targett will become Fernandez at some point in preparation for GW28 anyways.

    1. Big Al Stankovic
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Play Rico

  4. Big Al Stankovic
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Who needs to go first?

    a) Soy
    b) Lord
    c) Kelly
    d) Maddison
    e) Vardy

    Currently concidering one of the defenders out for Lascelles or a Southampton defender, and save the cash.
    Could do a straight swap for Vardy to Auba.

      • 4 Years

      This. I’m doing soy this week, and if Lund doesn’t play swap him w another shu next week. Vardy gets another week. I have rico and martial where you have kelly and mad and happy to give them another week

    3. Nailed Jesus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Defence only needs one transfer to fix if Lord doesn't start again. My priority would be to get in Aguero and/or Mahrez for their next 2 fixtures.

    4. Big Al Stankovic
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Cheers all.

  5. SuperDan
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Worth a hit?
    Holgate > VVD/Robbo

    1. Big Al Stankovic
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      No. Do it for free next week.

  6. Greenbackbøøg…
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Mane to Salah a no brainer right?

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

      Yup - Mané could be eased in off bench vs Norwich

    2. Big Al Stankovic
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Yes.

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

      Yup

  7. Mufc202020
    • 4 Years

    Rate my WC out of 10

    Henderson McCarthy
    VVD TAA Lascelles Lund KWP
    Salah Fleck KDB Grealish Hayden
    Jiminez Ings Auba

    Thoughts appreciated

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

      5 outfielders blank in 28

      1. Mufc202020
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        aware of this, looking to take out Auba & fleck at gm28 for Tammy & Maddison.

        Thoughts

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

          Could work well, I’m just not a fan of planned transfers...something else always comes up in the mean time, injuries, suspensions, random benchings.
          However if you are WCing now, you’ve got to take a chance.

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

    Best option for the next few gw's

    A: Robbo + Aurier/Lundy + Martial + DCL (who will become Jimmy in gw27)
    B: Aurier + Lundy/Lascelles + Son + DCL (who will become Jimmy in gw27)
    C: Aurier + Lundy/Lascelles + Traore + Aguero

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

    Sell one of these to get VVD:

    A) Rico
    B) Kelly
    C) Williams

    Rico is probably nailed but he has poor fixtures. Kelly isn't nailed but he has good fixtures. Williams isn't nailed an he has decent fixtures. Must be Williams?

    1. Budweiser
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Kelly

      1. Budweiser
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        What has he done the past 8 GW's that makes you want to keep him?

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

      Kelly

  10. Warby84
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    On my WC, and having trouble picking my 4th defensive spot

    Dubravka/McCarthy, Trent Virgil OConnell Taylor

    A. Fernandez, Dbl Newcastle Defence 2.1itb
    B. Bertrand, Dbl Soton Defence 1.7itb
    C. Doherty, Wolves single Defence 0.4itb

  11. el polako
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Are people selling Vardy now making the same mistake as those of us who sold Jimenez after his few blanks ?

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

      Not if they are getting Aguero/Auba

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

      I'm holding one more week to see how Mane gets on

  12. maccarty
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Ryan to Hendo, or no?

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

      I did it, although I'm not sure a keeper is worth a transfer and I wish I had set and forgot before I originally got rid of Hemdo!

    2. Bury94
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Henderson blanks in GW28 and can't play in GW31. Just bear that in mind

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

        Tnx!

    Henderson
    TAA Kelly Lundy
    KDB Salah (C) Grealish Cantwell*
    Vardy DCL Jimenez

    Button Soyunco Stephens Mane*

    1FT and 0.0 ITB

    a) Soy => Lacelles (play instead of Cantwell)
    b) Kelly => Lacelles (play instead of Cantwell)
    c) Something else

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

      B

  14. Tmel
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    McCarthy
    TAA Lund Soy
    Salah Mane Grealish KDB
    Greenwood Vardy Jimenez
    (Button Rico Holgate Dendonck)

    a) Mane > Mahrez
    b) Mane & Soy > Traore & VVD (-4)
    c) Mane & Greenwood > Traore & Auba (-4)

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

      I like B

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

      C

    3. Mufc202020
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      B or C. Mahrez is to much of a rotation risk

  15. Kuzser
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Who should I dump to make Mane—> Salah move?

    a) Alli-> Hayden/Traore
    b) Maddison (pp7.2, sp.7.4) -> Hayden/ Traore
    c) Soy (pp 4.5, sp. 4.7) -> Lasceles

    McCarthy
    Vvd - TAA - Lund
    Grealish- Alli - KDB- Maddison
    Vardy - DCL - Ings

    Mane, Soy, Kelly

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

      B with Traore

  16. Beavis

    4 years, 2 months ago

    McCarthy
    TAA, Lundstram, Rico,
    Salah, KDB, Grealish, Cantwell
    Vardy, Jimenez, DCL

    Subs: Soyuncu, Mane*, Balbuena
    1 FT, 1m ITB

    I've had Mane since GW3 so I think I will keep him if he's only missing this GW.

    Current thinking is Balbuena > Egan and bench one of Cantwell/Rico.

    What would you do?

  17. CelticBhoy1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Excluding Salah, who is the best mid to have for this week only?

    1. Aubamazette
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I like Grealish for this week

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

      Grealish or KDB

    3. el polako
      • 6 Years

      *check who is playing WHU

      1. CelticBhoy1
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Trossard (c)

  18. Fit_to_drop
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Help needed here guys deciding who to ship out:

    Guaita/Hendo
    TAA/Soy/Lund/Stephens/Kelly
    Mane/Salah/KDB/Cantwell/Doucure
    Vardy/Rashford/Greenwood

    I have 2 FT's and don't want to activate my WC

    Out: Rashford/Lund/Mane (I would prefer to keep but have to be realistic) with Kelly and Soy on the hit list

    If you had to pick 3 who are they?

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

      Ing, Traore, VVD

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

        Actually Grealish, Traore next week for Doucore

    2. The Senate
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      You only need to sell Rash and Mane

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

    Anyone looking at Pepe as a punt?

    1. CelticBhoy1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Interesting

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

      nope

    3. The Train Driver
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Plenty of cheaper and better options..

  20. Aubamazette
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Play Lascelles(NOR) or H.Barnes(CHE)

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

      uhm...tough one.

      1. Aubamazette
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Currently on Lascelles

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

      Lascelles

    3. 1zverGGadeM
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Barnes

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

      Lascelles

    5. CelticBhoy1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Lascelles

    6. The Fed
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Barnes for me no doubt. Excellent form and playing a poor defence with Christensen in it.

      1. Aubamazette
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        One thing I don’t like is him always getting subbed off early

  21. doppelganger
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    gtg? Tempted of doing Firmino/Martial or Madds to Auba and +1 for -8
    at 150k

    Foster Button
    Trent Soyuncu Rico Sidibe Lund
    Salah Kdb Martial Maddison Cantwell
    Firmino Ings Jimenez

    What you think?

    1. Coast94
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Auba could be a great pick with his fixtures, relatively low ownership and Arsenal looking much improved.

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

      Firmino is due a brace

    3. Ronny Sandstone
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I'm thinking of shipping Firimino for Auba this GW (gives me a free Liverpool slot that I'll use for Sidebe to Gomez possibly)

    4. The Fed
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Dont get rid of Firmino for Auba for a -8. One his playing forward for the best team in Europe, the other is playing winger for a very average Arsenal team.

      1. Ronny Sandstone
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Hmmm when you say it like that it makes sense, unlikely Aubamayang will return in the centre position with Martenelli and Pepe either side?

        1. The Fed
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          I think Lacazette plays ahead of Martinelli with Auba on the wing. I could be wrong though. Also Auba has a blank in GW 28.

  22. Konstaapeli
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Got 2FT's and quite happy with my team. Thinking of transferring Mane to someone just for one week. Have no value tied up so can purchase him back a bit cheaper.

    Who'd you pick to go with Salah, KDB and Grealish:

    A) Traore
    B) Mahrez
    C) Pepe
    D) Martial
    C) Someone else

    Traore might be an option I could hang on to if Mane is out for longer as it would allow me to get VVD and Kun/Auba.

  23. Budweiser
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Should I start Hayden or Cantwell?

  24. ShaunGoater123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Morning all

    Moved Mane on for Martial already and replacing gazza with dubravka for -4.

    Question is, is it worth doing another transfer to do Haller > Auba? Means a -8

    Current team:

    Gazza

    Lundstrram / TAA / Targett

    Salah / Grealish / KDB / Martial

    Ings / Haller / Vardy

    Button / Kelly / Soyuncu / Dendonker

    1. Noble Steed
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Definitely not

  25. wanaj84

    Have salah kdb maddison
    MANE to??

    1. The Train Driver
      • 8 Years

      Son

      1. wanaj84
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Ty

    2. The Train Driver
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Even Graelish or Bruno if you want to be ahead of the curve..

  26. The Train Driver
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Captain pick?

    A. Auba
    + Well rested, will probably get 90 min
    + Burnley worse def than Southampton
    + Good record vs Burnley

    - Rest of team pretty mehh
    - Focus might be on transfer rumors

    B. Salah
    + Better support/team
    + Form is great
    + Mid gets more points

    - Will probably get 60-70 min
    - Southampton have been pretty solid lately

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

      Salah if leading, Auba if chasing

      1. The Train Driver
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Never got this kind of reasoning, I would think capping the one you think will score more is better whether you're chasing or not?

    2. The Fed
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Aubameyang is playing as a winger for a very poor Arsenal team. He wants to leave the club and might not be there 100 % mentally.

      Salah is playing as a center forward/ for the best team in Europe against a defence that might have Yoshida or Vestergaard in it. Also tends to play full 90 and is on pens just like Auba.

  27. beric

    Anyone got any strong arguments to choose between Mooy and Hayden?

      0.5 saved by having Hayden should be good argument enough to have him

      Mooy is a better pick assuming you wanna tie up that budget.

      Mooy is playing more advanced and has really upped is game as of late.

      Mooy more advanced as a CAM for a better and more attacking team and he is on corners/indirect free kicks. Hayden plays CDM for a defence and poor team.

    If you were on a WC would you replace Lundy (Due to potential signings/rotation issues) with Baldock?

    1. NielsvanDelft

      I am strongly considering it. Doubling up on Stevens and Baldock at the moment

        Yeah only thing that stops me from doubling up is the other options available and the blank in gameweek 28 but it could definitely pay off.

    Mané and Greenwood to Grealish and Auba with 2FTs feels like a no brainer right? Just that Auba is one of those players that has NEVER scored points for me, and I seem to fall for it every year!

      Definitely.

      I did Mane and Greenwood to TRaore & Auba (Have Grealish).

      Auba too is one of the players who never scores for me! Let's hope he breaks the curse!
