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 know what happened Kabasele last match?

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

    Exact funds for Grealish -> Pulisic

    For the next GW, Thoughts?

    1. The Strokes
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I would do it

    2. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      You won't have enough next GW

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

        Can do it after today's deadline

    3. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Sounds like an upgrade. Do it!

    4. Brimble82
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      100%

  3. Ci Siamo
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Could someone make this captain decision easier for me please?

    Son or Rashford

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

      Rash

      1. The Strokes
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Son

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

      I have Martial and Bruno - I am captaining Son. Rash is probably the best pick here.

    3. Endhey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Captaining Son at the moment, even though I have Jimmy and Rashford

  4. The Strokes
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Alert Bench headache!
    Pope
    Alonso – Doherty – Aurier
    Salah – Fernandes – Martial
    Auba - Jimmy
    Button - ? - ? – Holgate
    Play 2 of :
    1. Nketiah ( Nor)
    2. KDB (Liv) might rotate if plays already in cup which is more important for Pep
    3. TAA (City) Huge doubts he will have a CS, playing him only for offensive points is risky
    4. Saka (Nor)

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

      It is illegal to bench TAA and KDB

      1. King Henrik
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        exactly

      2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        This

        1. The Strokes
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          But is it legal to bench players taht will play Norwich?

      3. Brimble82
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        This.
        Nketiah 1st sub.

      4. The Strokes
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I know but City-Liv when title is already decided should be illegal too ...

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

          Both will go for the battle, even if the war is decided

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

    Good to go?

    Martinez
    VVD Doherty Ritchie
    KDB Son Fernandes Pogba
    Jimenez(c) Rashford DCL

    Alisson Saka Holgate Taylor

    1ft £0.1m

    1. The Strokes
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I'm biaised as I just sold him but I would take Saka or Holgate above DCL also unsure about VVD earning big points against City.

      • 12 Years

      People dont join the mini league cause they dont want their mates to know they use the site....

    2. The Train Driver
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I have a problem, they all look too good, can't pick one...

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

    Start Grealish (WOL) or Fernandez (BOU)?

    1. The Strokes
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Fern

    2. Brimble82
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      That's a tough one.
      Villa don't appear to have much fight left in them - but Grealish is playing for 20/21, I'd be tempted to go Grealish, but it's close because BOU looked toothless with CWilson, let alone without him!

  8. Gizzachance

      I have doherty and saiss. i am thinking of playing lacelles instead of saiss, will you start lascelles on the bench ?

  10. Weasel51
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Start Saiss or Kiko

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

      Saiss

    2. Brimble82
      • 5 Years

  11. Brimble82
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Humour me here...
    On WC, going for a 4-5-1 with a BB33.
    Would you:
    A; Button / Origi
    - Punt on Origi getting minutes vs Villa but no playing GK for BB

    B; Ryan / Connolly
    - Good fixture for BB and would move on after

    Rest of team is:
    Martinez / xxx
    TAA / AWB / Doherty / Aurier / Lascelles
    Salah / KDB / Son / Martial / Bruno
    Jimenez / Nketiah / xxx

    1. Van der Faart

      B, button is a waste on BB

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

    Any of these worth it?

    1. DCL & Salah to Aubameyang & Martial -4
    2. DCL & Barnes to Nkietah & Martial -4
    3. Vardy & Barnes to Aubameyang & Saka -4

    1. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      No

  13. bigbudgie
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    If you had raheem sterling would you
    A) keep
    B) transfer - son or pulisic

    1. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      B to Son

    2. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I'd sell. United player, but son/pulisic both good shouts.

    3. real ale madrid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      same question for KDB?

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

        Keep! I have both. Sterling was a punt that didn't pay off this week.

  14. primal33
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Best replacement for Ings due to risk of benching and tough upcoming fixtures. 6.6m budget

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

      Absolute waste of a transfer

      1. primal33
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        How come? Risk of benching this week then next 3 games are City, Everton and United.

    2. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      There isnt many. DCL and Jota the only two maybe

    3. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Maybe nketiah if money can be used better elsewhere?

      If not, hold.

    4. Brimble82
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I moved him on, but it was as part of a WC.
      Jota could explode at any point, but he gets subbed too often for my liking.

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

    Rashford + Son or Kane + Martial

    1. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Rash and Son

      1. how now brown cow
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Agreed

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

      2 strikers vs 2 wingers. I'd go Kane Martial.

  16. waltzingmatildas
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Tried looking at stats for captain pick. Options are :
    A) son - shu defence looking poor, but son's stats not looking great. He's not suddenly turned into a bad player so could have a couple of chances.
    B) jimenez - on good form, but avl defence looking stronger
    C) doherty - chance of a clean sheet, plus possibility of attacking returns
    D) martial - great form, Brighton defence looking decent
    E) awb - chance of clean sheet, poss attacking returns

    That maybe suggests a defender for this week and so I'm leaning towards Doherty.
    Anything I'm missing?!

    1. Jolly Good
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Auba vs nor is my captain...

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

        Not an option for me!

    2. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Jimenez probably safest, but I'm leaning towards rashford as a non-martial owner.

    3. Jolly Good
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I would go with Doherty then

  17. Jolly Good
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Liverpool CS odds 9/2
    NewCastle CS odds 11/5

    I know TAA has more attacking threat but still Lascelles has much better CS odds

    Tough one....

    1. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      TAA all day

    2. Brimble82
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      TAA

    3. Long ago I drew a walrus
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Not even a contest lets be honest

  18. how now brown cow
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Morning all. Please help me decide...

    Which one to play?

    a - Holgate (LEI)
    b - Kiko (SOU)
    c - Lascelles (bou)

    1. Jolly Good
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Lascelles

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

      C

    3. Pinturicchio10
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I'd actually go with Kiko from those because I dont think the quick turnaround suits Ings and he's basically Southampton's goals. Home fixture. Close enough call between him and Holgate but yeah I'd go with Kiko. Good luck.

    4. juanmata8
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Play De Gea or Martinez?

      1. how now brown cow
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Norwich look really poor. Martinez

    5. Baron Penguin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Correct starting XI? Bench order? 0FT 0.6ITB.

      Martinez
      AWB TAA Doherty
      KDB Salah Bruno Pulisic Martial (C)
      Jota Jimenez

      Pope DCL Lascelles Jimenez

      Pope for Martinez? DCL for Jota? Jimenez safer captain?

    6. Better Call Raul
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Start Lascelles or Lundstram?

      1. King Henrik
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Lascelles

      2. The Senate
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        6 points V 6 points

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

      Good to go ?

      Patricio
      Trent Doherty Maguire
      De Bruyne Sarr Son Bruno
      DCL Rashford Jimenez(c)

      Button Mount Aurier Lascelles

      1 FT & 0 itb

    8. Punty McPuntface
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      What's the thoughts on kane?

      I'm chasing my rival by 40points and there's no way he can afford him.

      1. how now brown cow
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I dont see kane getting hattricks/doubles the way spurs are currently playing, and at that price youd want them.

    9. Akey678
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Lloris or De Gea?

      1. how now brown cow
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        DDG

    10. Blue Moon Rising
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Sterling and H Barnes to Son and Pulisic (-4)?

      Have De Bruyne and on Wildcard next gweek

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

      Which captain?
      A) Rashford
      B) Jimenez
      C) Martial

      1. The Overthinker
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I am going with A

        But if I had C, I would go with him

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

        I have A and C Currently on Rash got no bottle to go Martial to inconsistent

    12. Zero
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Currently rank 150 and don't want to blow it... on a WC, which looks better, A or B?

      A - Defense Heavy
      Patricio - Martinez
      TAA - Doherty - AWB - Aurier (Alonso)
      KdB - Pulisic - Martial (Son - Saka)
      Rashford - Jimenez (Nketiah)

      B - Attack Heavy
      Patricio - Martinez
      TAA - Doherty - AWB - Aurier (N Williams)
      KdB - Pulisic - Martial (Mahrez - Guendouzi)
      Rashford - Jimenez (Kane)

      Thanks very much.

      3. Long ago I drew a walrus
        • 13 Years

        Man I thought for a sec you were suggesting Kane on the bench

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

      Sterling and Kelly to Traore and TAA -8?

    14. FPL Maldini
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Who do you think is a better captain pick this week mate? Son or Rash?

      If it helps, my rival who is 28 points behind will likely go Rash captain!

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

        I've gone Rash but I don't own son
