FFS Cup

The latest FFS Cup fixtures and results

The third round of our FFS Cup was played out in Gameweek 31+ and now just 64 Fantasy managers remain in contention.

There’s no respite for those involved as the fourth round takes place in Gameweek 32+, the deadline for which is at 11.30am BST on Saturday.

ALL RESULTS FROM THE THIRD ROUND CAN BE VIEWED HERE
THE FULL DRAW FOR THE FOURTH ROUND IS AVAILABLE TO VIEW HERE

Wild Rover is still flying the flag for our former winners, having seen off Euroalien – who had been inside the top 1k as of the Gameweek 31+ deadline – in the round-of-128.

It wasn’t a great week for managers lurking inside the top 1,000, with rdamjan and Forza, currently ranked at 30th and 643rd respectively, also exiting the competition.

billybly is our highest-ranked FPL boss left in the cup, with his score of 105 easily good enough to see off sirakhun and sufficient to move him up to 660th in the world.

Having scored 141 points in Gameweek 30+, stamfordbridge bowed out in unfortunate circumstances after a 60-60 draw with __simdy; the latter’s superior rank seeing them through to a last-64 tie with the aforementioned billybly.

Annie also lost out on a tie-breaker after a 78-all draw with Mighty Wings.

baingaboyz was arguably even more luckless, being edged out by two points despite racking up a triple-figure score of 103.

We’ve got an all-top 2k clash in the round-of-64, with Hellraisers facing Dial Square.

Every single one of our remaining 64 managers is ranked inside the top 300,000.

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+

    Anyone else think that Doherty good be a good differential this week?

    1. OverTinker
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Hopefully

    2. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      12% owned. Not a differential.

      1. JohannaAdams10
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Would be if you captained him

  2. john25
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Hey guys, who would you start between Kiko (SOU) or Lascelles (bou)?

    Cheers

    1. King Kohli
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Lascelles

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Kiko

    3. fr3d
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I'm starting Lascelles over Masina

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

      I think Lascelles has a bigger chance for a cleanie.

    5. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Kiko

    3 years, 9 months ago

    Best move here? Need to cover up 40pts on ML rival.

    1Ft,0.4 ITB. BB left.

    A. KDB > Martial
    B. KDB + Cantwell > Martial + Pulisic
    C. Jota > Nketiah
    D. Jota + Cantwell > Nketiah + Pulisic
    E. Save

    Bear in mind that none of my ML rivals have Martial or Pulisic (so far).

    Pope Hendo
    TAA Doherty Gomez Taylor Basham
    Salah KDB Bruno Son Cantwell
    Dcl Jimenez Jota

    1. nolard
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      D.

      1. King Kohli
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Bench Nketiah if I do D?

        1. nolard
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Yes, or DCL. Go with your gut on that one.

          1. King Kohli
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Cheers mate, GL.

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I am so close to D
      Can't do it myself as outpriced.

      I'd definitely do D !

      Pulisic is a differential © option this GW

      1. King Kohli
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I really want to get in both Martial & Pulisic though.
        Agree that D seems logical.
        Who would you bench & Captain in that case?

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          I'd bench DCL
          As he's playing a solid defence

          1. King Kohli
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Cheers Amey, GL.

  4. CERVELO
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    was a toss up between FH or WC - gone FH - thoughts / any changes;

    Martinez
    Doherty AWB PVA
    KDB Pulsic Son Martial
    Rashford Aub(c) Jiminez

    subs: Button Saka Lascelles Lund

    Aub or Jiminez for the armband?

  5. LewanGOALski
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Who to (C) out of:

    A) Jimenez (avl)
    B) Rashford (bha)
    C) Salah (mci)
    ..?

    1. nolard
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      All good options.
      If you need to catch up, and your rival has A and B, C is an option.
      Safer, in order of safety, A then B.

  6. EWH2020
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Doherty captain?

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Can work, be ready for 1-2 pointer though

    2. nolard
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Too risky for me.

  7. Mike82
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Hi guys, only have TC left, had 2 excellent weeks scoring 125 and 98 using Unlimited Transfers then Free Hit but now I am keft with this after Kun out, Rash in;
    Henderson
    Walker, Fernandez, Saiss
    B.Fernandes, KdB, Grealish, Saka
    Auba (C), Rash, Jiminez

    Leno, McGinn, Egan, Lunny

    As I say used my FT to do Kun to Rash, any hits or should I use my TC?

  8. WannabeScout
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Which is better?
    A) Ings + Pulisic
    B) Rashford + Mount

    1. Mike82
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      b for me

    2. nolard
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Hard to say.
      Pulisic has scored a couple now, but maybe it is Mount's turn now?

  9. carlosice
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Play Saka (NOR) or Sarr (SOT)?

    Thanks

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Saka

    2. Mike82
      • 6 Years

    Lloris Martinez
    TAA - X - Doherty AWB Taylor

    B) Gomez + Son

    1. n14mul
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      b

  11. HNI
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Best Vardy replacement?
    1) Kane -4 (Salah to Pulsic/Kdb)
    2) Save FT
    3) Other?
    Cant do Rashford as already have 3 Manutd

    1. Mike82
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Jiminez?

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Take a punt on Jesus?

      1. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        2 for this week

  12. RoboVanBasten
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Who to play, Saka or Saint-Maximin?

    1. nolard
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Tough.
      Normally, St Max, but Norwich at home tilts it towards Saka for me. If you have seen the games lately and how they play, I would have use that for a decision.

  13. NachoMan
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Jota out for Jimi or hold?

    1. nolard
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I would get Jimi.

  14. n14mul
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Morning all, hope all well!

    Seems like a big split for captaij this week which should make things interesting. Which was to go and why?

    A. Salah - on a high but vs city
    B. Auba - Norwich at home but blanked in last in the last few
    C. Jimi has form but playing away

    Suppose all have cases but what do you all think and why?

    1. Mike82
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I'm on Auba

      1. n14mul
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I see the appeal but surely its a risk with the way arsenal are playing no?

        1. Mike82
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          true but I'm chasing in my league and auba has apparently been unlucky plus it is Norwich and arsenal had an important win last time out

          1. n14mul
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            I'm chasing too hence the dilemma. Auba has been unlucky in the last 2 there is just a doubt if he blanks again there is a huge risk of falling further behind

    2. nolard
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      If you have Auba, I would deffo go with him.
      Norwich at home, and he is due a goal.

      1. n14mul
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        alot of love for auba out here!! He still playing on the left of a front 3 no?

        1. Mike82
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          If you dont captain auba hoke v Norwich not much point owing him lol

        2. nolard
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          But if you don't play him at home to Norwich, why have him?
          He is expensive too.

  15. Oggle22
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    10 pints ahead in my ML already on -4 have BB left
    Henderson
    Lundstarm Egan Saiss
    Salah KDB Martial Bruno Sterling
    Rashford Jotta

    Martin Connolly Simpson Kelly

    Take another hit or 2 debating sterling and Simpson to Traore and Trent would take me to -12

    Cheers

  16. nolard
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    GTG?

    Pope
    Doherty Lascelles Baldock
    Mane KDB Son Bruno
    Giroud Jimenez Rashford (c)

    Button, Kiko, McCarthy, Dann

    1. King Kohli
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Nice team.
      Not tempted by Martial or Pulisic?

      1. nolard
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        If course, but chasing the past doesn't always work, and you cannot have them all.

        I chose Son over Pulisic, and I already have Bruno and Rash and that is enough for now.

  17. Amey
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Do we think
    Jota Lundstram 4.2 >> Nketiah Pulisic Kiko (-12) can do me any good ??

    Will play all 3 incoming players.

    Please don't say no outright just because it's a -12
    .

    1. n14mul
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Morning,

      Don't see it doing you any good over the next gw -12 is a huge hit to make up at the current stage of the season

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        MORNING
        Thanks mate

        1. n14mul
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          On a side note, I think taking hits is a huge risk at this point of the season

          1. Amey
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Yeah
            But i am having a freefall anyways bro. Some personal life clashes too 😀

            I need sone adrenaline rush !!
            Lol

            1. n14mul
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 6 Years
              3 years, 9 months ago

              Well hope things are better for you mate 😉 firstly in life and then fpl

              1. Amey
                • 5 Years
                3 years, 9 months ago

                Thank You !!!

    2. fr3d
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Jota is stinking up my team too, but I want to give him one more. Maybe a swap for free to Nketiah. This -12 doesn't look good

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Getting him ahead of Jimenez hasn't gone well 😀

      2. Jason M
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I am considering exactly this

    3. King Kohli
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      If you think Watford keeps a Cs and Pulisic is good for the next few weeks, it can pay off.

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I think Watford need to to stay up.
        Pulisic will be my ©
        Will play Nketiah ahead of DCL

      2. Bennerman
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I personally wouldn't go for that, ostensibly, no.But you might well have mini-league context etc.

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Only context here is I'm bloody bored at looking at same team. And need some change ! 😀

          1. Bennerman
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Haha, that's plenty good enough. Just a game, and to be enjoyed!

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

      Nope.

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks

    5. Rolls-Royce
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Nah, -12 is asking for trouble.

      How's your team looking?

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Boring

        Ederson
        Taa Lascelles Doherty
        Mane Bruno KDB Son
        Jota DCL Rashford ©
        3.9 Taylor Lundstram 4.2

        1. Rolls-Royce
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Looks fine, no need to take hits there. Would wait for late team news on Jota, if he doesn't start then shipping him out makes sense.

          1. Amey
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Thanks mate.
            That's definitely sane advice

            1. Bennerman
              • 5 Years
              3 years, 9 months ago

              Yeah, that is a decent side. Do a jigsaw or something, no need to fiddle too much with this, for what my opinion's worth.

              1. Amey
                • 5 Years
                3 years, 9 months ago

                Thank you bro 🙂

        2. nolard
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Your team is fine, with Jota and Ederson maybe needing some shifting. Ederson too expensive for me.

          But not worth the hits.

          Jota plays Villa, who will fight for survival, but isn't a great team.

          1. Amey
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Yeah
            Ederson is a calculated one. But Jota is a failed punt !!

          2. Oggle22
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Until Jiminez is rested today and Jotta starts.... Or is that wishful thinking haha

            1. Amey
              • 5 Years
              3 years, 9 months ago

              Suicide 😀

    Grealish owners are you keeping vs wolves?
    Who is the best one week punt to replace up to 7.3m?
    Not Sarr as i own Deeney
    Maybe Willian or Pulisic...

    1. barracuda
      • 7 Years

      Mount, Lamp's puppet

  19. barracuda
    • 7 Years

    Is this a week to use my last chip, FH?

    Load up on Arsenal, City and Liverpool?

    1. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I think this is a really bad week with FA cup expect some carnage on the rotations

      1. Bennerman
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        33 looks tastier, don't you reckon?

        1. FPL_Crisis
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          I used FH in 31 so gonna wildcard 33

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Any help above lads for me?

          1. Bennerman
            • 5 Years

            Not looked closely at your 7.3 dilemma because not had to lately personally, but seem to recall it was thin on the ground when I last had to go there.

            Any way to spend it elsewhere? Or I have always liked the look of Mount and he's cheap, that's just watching games, I'm aware he's not actually racked up many points lately but he's always there or thereabouts when Chelsea have chances, and they come into a good run of games.

              Auba Deeney Jimmy stay
              TAA Boly Baldock will do

              Midfield is Kdb mahrez Salah Grealish so figured he goes with funds coming from Leno to Martinez

              One week only so playing the fixtures

      If your FH team looks considerably better than your current one.

    No bench. G2G?

    Pope
    TAA Doherty Aurier
    Salah Mane Bruno Martial
    Rashford Jimenez Ings

      KDb or Son for one of the Liverpool attackers

      1. NoName
        • 9 Years

        After this gw, I plan to.

      Looks good. Who's your cap?

      1. NoName
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks. Still undecided between Martial Bruno and Salah.

  21. DARE TO BISCAN

    Pick one to play
    a) Saka (NOR)
    b) Ayew (BUR)
    c) Saiss (avl) - also have Doherty

    1. Mike82
      • 6 Years

      Follow up question:

      Would you choose any of these over DCL (LEI)?

    Captain dilemma between the following two.

    Currently on Salah

    Wolves looked tired in last game and another 3 day turnaround, Jimenez I think only had one shot in the last match too.

    Liverpool have a week’s rest, will be up for it to put on display at the Ethiad with pressure off, Salah going for golden boot, City coming off cup game, no Fernandinho in defence - and always nice to have captain in last game! Also think will be open game with both teams going for it. No point in defensive play.

    Don’t get me wrong Jimenez is a great pick but maybe Salah just edges it...

    Thoughts?

    1. Lemongrab
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I'm edging towards Salah. Jimenez will probably still score but Salah is always fun to captain and surely they will be well up for the city game and on a high after winning the league.

      1. Belli2007

        3 years, 9 months ago

        Not a bad shout....I have Mane and am tempted as not really excited by Rash or Jimi....and leaves something to look forward to

    2. n14mul

      3 years, 9 months ago

      I have the same thoughts as posted up top with auba in the options too. I'm currently on jimi but see this as a really safe pick plus he is away. I do think Liverpool will be well up for it and I was just supeised with city vs Chelsea, salah would.be a very brave pick but makes sense too!

    3. Queens of the South Age
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Salah is a good pick. Leaning towards Mane myself. Going to captain him or Salah.

    4. Rolls-Royce
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I don't have Salah and I am scared af.

  23. Lemongrab

    Big question.

    Does Cathcart start this week? Anyone know why he only played 30mins in the first 2 games?

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Probably dropped for Dawson. May get some gametime here and there.

  24. Rolls-Royce
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Don't usually like to play safe Jimmy cap does look the most sensible choice this week.

  25. camarozz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    DDG

    TAA/Doh/Aurier

    Kdb/Son/Pulisic/Bruno

    Rash/DCL/Jimenez

    (Martinez/Lascelles/Saka
    Cresswell)

    3m in the bank and sure wat forward its worth spending it on.?

    Any changes?

    Thoughts?

  26. UpAndAway
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Anyone getting Saiss this GW even though he's 1 YC away from a 2 game ban? Or is it wise to spend extra and get Patricio (Henderson owner)?

    Welcome any thoughts.

    1. Rolls-Royce
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Wouldn't get Saiss now, rather boly or use that third slot for Wolves player on Traore.

      1. UpAndAway
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Already have Boly BTW. Would be for a Wolves double up.

        1. Belli2007
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Saiss good value but is a risk. Surely a greater risk of YC in local derby and villa will be up for it and I think will score at home

    2. Wild Card this!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Isn’t ban valid only until 32nd GW? I believe it’s clean sheet after...

  27. tique
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Who to start (ONLY 1):

    Targett (WOL), Egan (TOT), Lundstram (TOT)

    Who to bench (ONLY 1):

    KDB, Mahrez, Pulisic, Mount, Martial

    Abraham, Jimi, Nketiah

    Thank you

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

      Oh and I have Henderson in goal

    2. nolard
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Lunds.
      Abraham - not a certain starter.

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

        Was thinking the same but worried about lundstram not starting?

        1. nolard
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          But you have defenders on your bench to come in?

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

            Ya but lundstram will definitely come off the bench if he doesn't start

  28. Mweene
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    On Bench Boost.

    Selling Barnes - going for the safe option of Armstrong instead of Mount. Then get Mount the following week.

    Seem sensible?

  29. barracuda

    Is DCL on penalties?
