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.

      B but Van Dijk instead of Robbo maybe - goal threat and less likely to be rotated when cham league kicks in?

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

      With that midfield you can afford to bench Mane I guess. No obvious options anyway, apart from maybe Son. I think I would do Kelly to Cahill as their game has 0-0 written all over it.

  5. The_Fish
    • 5 Years

    I'm going to bring in Boly for Soy or Lundstram next week.

    Very low owned and a bargain now at 4.7

      Ings likes to score against big teams and former club... I'd punt on that. City will rip Spurs apart.

      1. DF
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        You reckon sterling will be amongst those ripping points?

    Have currently 6 players blanking in gw28.

    Prefer Hendo as my only playing gk but does it make sense to have Guaita instead? That would leave me currently 5 bgw28 players with 3 FTs to deal with them until gw28.

    Guaita (Button)
    Taa-Vvd-Lascelles (Egan,Williams)
    Salah-KDB-Grealish-Traore (Hayden)
    Aguero-Auba-Ings

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

      Same boat. But have too much value tied up in hendo. If you dont, go for McCarthy. I gotta figure something else out lol

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

      Don't forget gw31 with Henderson also. Atm Dubravka would look like a nice rotating 2nd gk, but a bit expensive. And depends on when to play bb.

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

    Keep 2:

    A Traoré
    B Grealish

  10. Stimps

    Wildcarded. Good Idea to keep Vardy this GW and do Vardy -> Auba next?

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

      Not if on WC. Do it now and save the FT

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Just start with Auba

  11. kamdaraji
    • 14 Years

    A story is developing

    TC Mané 2020: 1 point

    TC Sané 2019: 1 point

    TC Kané 2018: 3 points

    1. LC1
      • 9 Years

      Ouch..

      Better luck next season mate!

    2. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I wrote that originally.

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

      Best not TC Hourihané next season then

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

        Or Michael Keané

  12. jason_ni

    No fts - everything look ok?
    3.7m ITB

    McCarthy
    VVD - TAA - Lundy - Williams
    Salah - KDB - Martial - Maddison
    Auba - Ings
    Rico - Greenwood - Dendo

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

      Yes, captain Salah.

  13. HD7
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Kasper
    TAA Lund Kelly*
    KDB Fleck Salah Mane*
    Ings Kun DCL

    Subs: Button, Ings, Dunk, Hayden

    Guys I did Vardy Maddy to Kun Fleck before Mane got injured... (I know)

    GW25: Mane Kelly to Grealish Robbo (-8)
    GW26: Save
    GW27: DCL to Jimenez
    GW28: Kun Grealish to Vardy Maddy

    Contemplating a -8 for GW25 so as to be able to change DCL to Jimenez in GW27.
    Hope Grealish and Robbo can haul and offset the hits.

    Should I do it?
    Or just play Ings and Kelly/Dunk and try getting Jimenez in another way?

    A- Fabianski Brighton at home

    Cheers all

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

      Henderson, surely more chance of a clean sheet even if playing away.

        Thanks mate this is what I’m currently thinking, only caveat is I have Baldock and Lundstram too and currently playing Baldock and benching Lundstram to hedge bets a little

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

    Predictions for this week:
    -- Leicester to edge a tight match against Chelsea
    -- Score draw between Bournemouth and Villa
    -- Palace and Sheffield United to cancel each other out in a 0-0
    -- Liverpool to come from behind to win 2-1, Ings scoring against old club
    -- Norwich to score and either win or draw away at Newcastle
    -- Score draw between Watford and Everton
    -- West Ham to bounce back and beat Brighton to 0
    -- Jimenez to score first in a 1-1 between MU and Wolves
    -- Arsenal to score 3 for the first time under Arteta against Burnley
    -- City to beat Spurs to 1 in a solid but unspectacular performance

    1. LC1
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Wonder what the returns are for that in an acca...

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

        Have a good feeling about some of these. Would have put a cheeky punt on but don't bet any more

    2. Stef rocks
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Most of them seems logical - can’t see any super unrealistic

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

    "Big Numbers" articles - I used to like those a lot. I can't find them this season - have they been replaced by the stats from the members area in each of the Scout Notes articles?

    I like those members area stats, but the Big Numbers article was great for seeing the highlight stats from the gameweek.

    1. andy85wsm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years

      They're still written but I believe it's once every 2 weeks in general now

    2. Pipermaru
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Yes, it's my favourite, alright. I'm a stats man.

  17. Sotamendi84
    • 7 Years

    play targett (bou) or rico (AVL)?

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

      Targett

  18. CONNERS
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Reached the lofty heights of 70k after last nights game.

    Still have BB and FH, do you think 10k is achievable?

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

      Of course!

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

      Dropped to 370k after last night's game and I still think 10k is achievable

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

        moved up from 850k to 410k last gw. hopes are high

    3. andy85wsm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Absolutely

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

      Easily. Just pick certain weeks to play safe and certain weeks to gamble. GW25 is a low scoring one in my eyes, so go safe with Salah (c)

    5. CONNERS

    Guys any idea why Greenwood was subbed at HT in Manchester derby last night?

    He was injured, just poor or tactical reasons?

    What do you think are his chances he plays this weekend?

    1. The Rumour Mill
      • 7 Years

      injured

    2. Warby84

  23. bigdip

    4 years, 2 months ago

    Thoughts please?
    I already took a -4 hit to bring in Aguero (before Mane was injured ☹ .Shoud I take take another -4 hit for Salah?
    Current team:
    Ryan Button
    Kelly, Gomez, TAA (c) (Lundy Targett)
    MANE, Martial, Son, Grealish (Fleck)
    DCL, Aguero Ings

    Alli and maupay owners. Wyd?

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I've got Haller vs Maupay this week, what a time to be alive.

      (Think I'm doing Haller -> Ings next week) and then KDB&Maupay -> someone & Jimenez the week after

      whu-WAT isn't terrible for Maupay but I'd get rid now if it didn't involve a hit

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        I have no real faith in Brighton scoring which is a bit of a problem, fixtures not horrendous though

    2. andy85wsm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Own Maupay and keeping for this week but not entirely happy about him.

      He was a tad unlucky not to get points in the last game so fingers crossed for this one

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

      Holding. But fidgety.

  26. Ian Davis
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Which two to get in?:

    A) Aguero
    B) Jimenez
    C) Firmino

    1. Miguel Sanchez

      Do you already have triple Liverpool?

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        I realise you probably don't as you've included Firmino but maybe another Liverpool player might be a better bet so A+B

      2. Ian Davis
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        I do but I’m selling Mane. Currently have TAA and Salah

    4. Coast94

    5. Big Al Stankovic

  27. Coast94

    Reckon my WC team is *finally* nailed. GTG?

    Dubravka McCarthy
    TAA VVD Baldock Stevens C.Taylor
    Salah KDB Grealish Traore Cantwell
    Auba Jimenez Ings

    Had my heart set on Ritchie as a differential but the Rose deal scuppered that.

  28. Rhodes your boat
