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+

    1. Kay317
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Mo is tempting me...see below

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

      I’m on Jimi but as a Villa fan it feels wrong

      1. Irish Villan 1985
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Same, I may move him off Captain to Rashford or Salah as Villa have looked better defensively of late!!

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

      Mo

  8. Kay317
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Who to cap:
    A) Salah
    B) martial
    C) rashford
    D) son
    E) Jiminez

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

      I'm on Jimi at the min

    2. ididnt
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Going for Martial. Form and team

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

    Jimenez EO to be over 100 this GW?

    1. Jullepuu
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I would guess around 70-85 but you might be right

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        He was 96% against Bournemouth last GW

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

        It was 96% last GW. Without a doubt over 100 this time

  10. Red Rock
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    I'm considering starting Nketiah but it will leave me with either Aurier or Wan Bisaka on the bench.

    Should I play it safe and start both defenders?

    Think I'm being blinded by Nketiah Vs Norwich

    1. Jullepuu
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I would probably go for Nketiah and bench awb

      1. Red Rock
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        That's what I'm currently on, just feels odd benching a good defender

    2. Mambino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      well I just made a last minute decision to bring him in for DCL so I'd have to say play him

      1. Red Rock
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I had DCL last week on free hit so id be keen to get him out of my team

    3. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I don't trust Arsenal and they are the poorest team at the moment. Nketiah 1st on bench. No other Arsenal assets.

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

        Poorest team, who just won a game 2-0?

        Surely there is a poorer team, by any yardstick?

    4. For Fuchs Sake
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I wouldn't bench AWB, possible CS and he got an assist against SHU

  11. Jullepuu
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Should I captain Auba or Doherty?

    1. Irish Villan 1985
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Auba

      1. Jullepuu
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Cheers

    2. Red Rock
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Auba

      1. Jullepuu
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks

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

      Got to be Auba if you have

  12. JELLYFISH
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    A bit out of touch this week....

    Bruno > Martial not recommended right?

    1. Stockport Hatter
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I wouldn't no

    2. Mesh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      No way

    3. Red Rock
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Don't chase points

      1. JELLYFISH
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks guys, as I thought

    4. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      When Martial blanks & Rashford & Bruno go large many chasers will feel the same.

    5. Mambino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      he's scored his hat trick now

  13. FPL Xylophone
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    G2G:
    Dubravka (3.9)
    Taa, Doherty, Aurier (kabasele, 4m)
    Kdb, Bruno, Richa, Sarr (st max)
    Rash, Jim, Vardy

    Thinking to sell Richa and Vardy for Salah and Nketiah (i can go up to 6.2 for striker). Any other ideas?
    Thank you!

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

      May as well go with Nketiah and get a couple of playing subs with the change.

  14. CONNERS
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Think I will cap Jimmy. FA cup game is putting me off a United player in case of fatigue/injury, etc.

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Think the main boys will be rested tonight, especially Martial

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

      You could be right, although the big players often feature in the later stages of the cup competitions.

  15. Old Gregg
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Captain Rashford.

    Is that your final answer.....

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

      Lets go

  16. Botman and Robben
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Would you captain Jimi or Auba?

    1. Stockport Hatter
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Jimi

  17. Stockport Hatter
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Saiss away to Villa or Fernández away to Bournemouth?

    Cheers

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

      Saiss

      1. Stockport Hatter

    2. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years

      Saiss

  18. Kiyoshi
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Jota and Salah => Martial and Rashford, good idea?

  19. Henning
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Around 90 p ahead in ml.
    Most of my rivals will not even have or give Auba the armband. Think they gonna go for Rashford or Jimenz.

    Should i cap

    1. Aubameyang
    2. Jimenez
    3. Rashford

    1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      You have won. Well done.

      A . If you have Auba and don't captain him just sell him for Kane ( C)

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

        Thanx.

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

      2 or 3. No need to take the risk in your position.

    3. Goonsquad245
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Depends what your goals are. Think Auba is the best captain for this week from an expected points perspective

  20. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Ritchie --,》 Aurier - 4 ?

    Soft muscle injuries ususlly take
    Between 1 and 2 weeks to heal so has to be a doubt for both games ?

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

      Soft muscle?

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Soft tissue then. You know what i mean

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

          Haha, fair shout.

          Just thought you might have seen my muscles or something.

          1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …

  21. QUEN
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Thinking of starting nkeitah over DCL

    Madness or smart

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

      literally just sold DCL and brought Nkeitah in

    2. Goonsquad245
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I wouldn’t myself

  22. School of Poch
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Who to captain:

    A: Jiminez
    B: Rashford

    Mini league rival has Rashford but not Jiminez

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

      Depends if you're chasing your mini league rival or above him.
      I'm on Jimi

      1. School of Poch
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I'm 30 points above him. I was originally on Rash but changed to Jimi because of the poll here and the lack of FA Cup fixture congestion.

  23. DAZZ
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Doherty (c)

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Enjoy

    2. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Thinking same, apart from they played three up top last time out?

  24. _Gunner
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Play Saiis or Lascelles?

    1. JELLYFISH
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Saiss imo

  25. Marty McFly
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Bench 1:

    A Ings (wat)
    B Jota (avl)
    C Sako (NOR)

    In my opinion, Ings is a rotation risk, so I’m tempted to bench him. Too bold?

    1. popcoin
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Tough one. Tbh Villa are defending pretty ok and Jota isn’t much threat

    2. Goonsquad245
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Saka easily

    3. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Ings

  26. Erez Avni
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    start kiko or lascelles?
    have dúbravka

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Kiko

  27. JELLYFISH
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Any work needed with this log for gw32?

    DDG
    TAA Holgate Doherty
    Mane KDB Bruno Son
    Vardy DCL Jimi*

    1 FT but planning on a 2 FT strategy to ship Vardy next week

  28. Blue Gaffer
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    DCL & Barnes to Martial & Nkietah yes or no?

    1. Blue Gaffer
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      For -4

    2. Siggy Azalea
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Yes

  29. dbeck
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    No Stephens or Hojbjerg, McCarthy looking suspect again. Is Sarr vs the high soton press a decent option this week?
    He should cause problems running behind, similar as he did vs pool

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

      Sounds like it with what you’ve said

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

        Toying with captaining him, I’m chasing and Jim ceiling isn’t too high

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

          Not sure about capt but I don’t play aggressively like that

          It’s one of those that could work and something to do when chasing

    2. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Have you seen how quick he is, oh & he stopped Pool in there tracks.

  30. Concrete
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    WC as want to double up on Salah and Mane in 33 and BB. Foregoing KdB for the next two as chasing in mini league. Will get him back for Mane in 34

    Pope Martínez
    TAA Doherty Lascelles Taylor xxx
    Salah Maxim xxx xxx xxx
    Rashford Jim Nketiah

    A Maguire, Martial, Son
    B Aurier, Martial, Fernandes

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

      City look great, he’s on pens, 10g and 19a, KDB imo is just a lock. Ditch son imo

      A I think, just
