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+
Round 3 – Gameweek 31+

Round 5 – Gameweek 33+
Round 6 – Gameweek 34+

    should we be looking to avoid City and Liverpool assets from now on?

      Nope

    1.1 ITB

    Going for some slight risky picks since I need to catchup to my rival.
    Any suggestions for improvements would be appreciated

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

      Sorry magure to awb spot on otherwise

      1. Alisson WondHaaland
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Why so? Maguire has goal threat and is 0.1 cheaper. AWB rarely gets attacking returns and when he does its an assist at most

    2. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      1. Alisson WondHaaland

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

      I have all of those and went with Rashford.
      Plenty of good options, so if you have seen them play lately, go with that.

    6. Big boy Bowen

    Reason for hit is owning Aguero* and Hanley* in a thin defense.

    Thanks

          Aub over Martial this week bigger upside than Doherty over Saiss

  8. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Lads little help please, do I do Richarlison to Pulisic, save or something else?

    Martinez,3.9
    VvD,Aurier,Doherty,Lascelles,3.9
    Mane,Richarlison,Bruno,Son,Saka
    Jimmy,Rashford,DCL

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

      I am saving. Richa has 3 double-digits haul at home. Definitely worth another week against slumping Leicester

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

      I think that is a good shout given you have DCL as well

    3. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Everton has a nice bit of rest before Leicester I'd expect them to be less jaded this time out.

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

        I had Tony Hibbert in my fantasy team about 20 years ago, when I was green in the gills.

        Jesus, I've learned a lot and the game has changed a lot.

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

          Was never much of a fantady option.

          More interested in carp fishing these days.

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

            No, he was terrible, I don't know what I was thinking. Presumably cheap as chips and a filler, I hope that was my reasoning.

  9. faux_C

    For one week only,:

      To start this week B, long term A

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

    Feel like I will need to downgrade either Salah or KDB to improve rest of my squad.

    Which one is more important?

  13. sandman58
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Wheres the KDB love for the captaincy???....any reason why nobody seems to be giving him the armband??

    1. Goooo Rickie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Great point. Going a bit under the radar but I guess it's rotation risk?

      1. sandman58
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Surely he plays v Liverpool
        Best player in the league or one of

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

      For me personally, just because of the hard fixture.

      I'll prob cap a United player v Brighton (they were really shyyte in the last game I watched, already forgotten who against but they were going backwards by the second half)

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Leicester

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

        Leicester......and they weren't firing either whereas united seem to be...

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

      Not a bad shout.
      Is in outstanding form, but rest coming in?

      1. sandman58
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        He was rested v Burnley

    4. DARE TO BISCAN
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Liverpool are the better team. Pep may sulk and play a weakened team. Lots of other options out there.

      1. sandman58
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Klopp may mess about with team too.....KDB may get a rest in F.A cup

        1. DARE TO BISCAN
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Certainly another hypothetical option.....

  14. Rik Waller
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Thinking of starting Nketiah over Jesus. We thinking he's gonna start?

    1. barracuda
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      He looked good midweek, don't you think he starts tomorrow and rested v Norwich?

    2. Goooo Rickie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I think he will with Lacazette starting the FA Cup, Arteta seems to really like him. Even if he doesn't start, he should get 20-30 mins at the back end of the game.

  15. The_FF_King
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Hey guys, on my wildcard, any advice?

    Martinez

    TAA / Aurier / Doherty

    KDB / Salah / Bruno / Martial

    Nketiah / Rashford / Jiminez

    Sub order: Saka / Holgate / Lascelles

    Gk sub is just a 3.9 as don’t have good team value

    0.1 in the bank

    1. End of King Wilson
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Looks solid with the popular players around here; you are hedging on Man Utd's attack as a differential, any plan B should that not pay off?

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

        That's not hedging, though, is it? Unless I misunderstand the term?

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

        I’ll keep the three for next 2 games as fixtures are juicy. Depending how it goes I would then look to remove at least 1 and get someone else in

  16. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Which one would you play from Kiko, Holgate and Lascelles ?

    1. Rotation's Alter Ego
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Lascelles for me.

      Just picking the one I can see getting a CS - Can see Ings being a problem for Watford, Leicester can always be a danger (especially if they try to turn this form around) and Lascelles is up against a lacklustre Bournemouth attack who have Callum Wilson suspended.

    2. Lumberjack
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Kiko I think

  17. barracuda
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Why Mane over Salah?

    1. DARE TO BISCAN
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Why Salah over Mane (I have Salah)?

      1. barracuda
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Looking for some comprehensive comparison tool, would probably C Mane if I had him.

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

      Thought Mane looked sharper against Palace than Salah but not a lot in it........

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

        And seemed to be reflected in BPs

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

    Start one
    1. Holgate
    3. DCL
    4. Lascelles

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

      DCL

    2. nolard
      • 9 Years

      The striker.

      3

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

    Thoughts on this, no wildcard or FH.

    Henderson
    Walker, Saiss, Fernandez
    B.Fernandes, KdB, Grealish, Saka
    Auba (C), Rashford, Jiminez

    Leno, McGinn, Egan, Lunny

    1. Je suis le chat
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Looks gtg, same mid and attack as mine (after I get Jimmy in for - 4).

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

        worried by my lack of scousers and abundance of blades and villa ha

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

    KDB/Salah to Pulisic -4?

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

      After this week I think

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

      It's a -4 hit that I am planning to take next week anyone to upgrade Saka to Martial

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

      Wait one week.

  21. Vlad Tepes
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Jesus and Martial or Rashford and Mahrez. Currently on the latter

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

      coin toss on City assets from here on out

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

      The latter

  22. subhojit123
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Hey guys..need a bit of help here.current team -
    Hendo
    TAA seiss lascelles
    Salah KDB Bruno Cantwell
    Rashford jiminez Abraham

    Bench - Leno, lundstrum,Egan, guendouzi

    Already did Rashford in this week.
    Is it worth doing
    Lundstrum -> Doherty for a -4?

  23. SerieD
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Auba or Kane?

    Trying to catch up rivals. Both are good picks considering that.

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

      I do have Aurier and Son

    2. Lumberjack
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Kane

    3. Pep Roulette
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Auba for this week. After that Kane.

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

      Auba particularly for this week if you plan on captaining him

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

      Kane probably overall

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

      I could take Auba for this round and then ft to Kane. Now Jimenez has armband in my team.

      Whole WC team:
      Martinez ( De Gea)
      Alonso, Doherty, Aurier (Saiss, Fernandez)
      Son, KDB, Martial, Son, Saka, Pulisic
      Kane, Jimenez (Nketiah)

      G2G, with Kane to auba and after this round same transfer backwards?

  24. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Good morning fam! FH team! GTG?

    Martinez
    Doherty Alonso Aurier
    Salah KDB Son Martial
    Auba(C) Jimenez Nketiah

    XX Lamptey Robinson XX

    1. Goooo Rickie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Why are you so sure Alonso starts?

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

        Not sure but likely imo.

  25. Big boy Bowen
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Aubemayang nailed on against Norwich?

    1. George James
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Will let you know at 12pm tomorrow

  26. subhojit123
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    How nailed is pulisic to start against westham?

  27. barracuda
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Vardy/Son to Mane/Nketiah for a hit?

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

      not for a hit

      1. barracuda
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Would C Mane

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

          Ah, ok.....I have armband on Mane so can't disagree with that but also have Son and wouldn't want to lose him right now....

          I have Nketiah too and is in my starting line up today so reason to go for it would be captain choice

  28. Lumberjack
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Which keeper would you start:

    A - Pope (cry)
    B - Martinez (NOR)
