The latest FFS Cup fixtures and results

The second round of our FFS Cup took place in Double Gameweek 30+, with 256 managers whittled down to 128 following its completion.

We go again in Gameweek 31+ and, with Tuesday’s deadline hurtling into view, the quick turnaround means that this round-up will be briefer than normal.

All results from the second round can be viewed here
The full draw for the third round is available to view here

With Joe and reigning champion Philman bowing out, Wild Rover was the only previous one of our winners who made it through to round three.

He faces a tough task in Gameweek 31+, however, with Euroalien, currently ranked 827th in the world, standing in the way of a place in the last 64.

Two other managers in the third round of the FFS Cup are currently inside the top 1k, with rdamjam and Forza ranked at 43rd and 325th respectively.

They will face ChromeDome and FPLchewitt in round three.

There were some huge, triple-figure scores in Double Gameweek 30+, with TomTraubertsBlues and stamfordbridge both scoring 141.

HOW DO THE CUP COMPETITIONS WORK?

The FFS Cup is very similar to the Fantasy Premier League’s own cup game.

Entrants who qualify for the first round were randomly drawn against each other and the winner of the tie is whoever has the highest score from that Gameweek, minus points spent on transfers (like in the original game and in head-to-head scores).

In the event of a draw, the manager highest in the overall FPL rankings after the tie will progress.

WHAT IS THE GAMEWEEK SCHEDULE?

The FFS Cup competition will be played out according to the following proposed Gameweek schedule:

Fantasy Football Scout Cup Round Dates
Qualifying – Gameweek 28

Round 1 – Gameweek 29
Round 2 – Gameweek 30+
Round 3 – Gameweek 31+
Round 4 – Gameweek 32+
Round 5 – Gameweek 33+
Round 6 – Gameweek 34+
Quarter-Final – Gameweek 35+
Semi-Finals – Gameweek 36+
Final and third-place play-off – Gameweek 37+

WHEN ARE THE FIXTURES RELEASED?

Where possible, the fixture list for each round will be published before each Gameweek deadline.

        Yes, it’s Martial and Richarlison that I’m ultimately trying to decide between. Martial has a lot of competition for his spot which is putting my off him.

      1. Sarr has the fixtures - 3 home games in the next 5 against low difficulty teams. I was torn between Sarr & Mount in my team and plumped for Sarr.

      2. It's a coin flip - I went for Rash in my team as there are more options for midfielders than strikers

      3. Coin flip again between AWB and Maguire. Had Aurier in my team for ages before the pandemic and he's frustrating as hell.

      well strange to do that when you must have known he was injured? Did you not watch last nights game?

          sorry for not paying attention but it sounded like you did those moves today. Auba out before Southampton and Norwich is beyond me, but i can understand it as he did not score vs Brighton.

            yeah it was a bit silly and impulsive. i did it because thought fernandes / grealish drop was going to rise and would have priced me out.

            silly move though, especially now!

    Getting there:

    Foster - Button
    TAA - Doherty - Holgate - Lascelles - Robinson
    Mané - KDB - Son - Bruno - Hayden
    Vardy(c) - DCL - Jimenez

    Final selection will boil down to Rashford vs. or Vardy. The former will allow upgrade of Holgate to Maguire/Justin/Aurier
