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+

    I'm half-expecting a much rotated United side for the Norwich FA Cup game today. Perfect time to give the likes of Ighalo a game.

    Captain:
    A) Martial
    B) Jimenez

    Both on bench, but who gets 1st spot:
    1) Lascelles
    2) K. Femenia

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

      Agree, I think Martial gets a rest and am captaining him with Jimenez VC. Lascelles first on bench IMO.

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

      I"m going against the jimi crowd because it's boring
      🙂

      Martial C

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

        I'm thinking about a -12 because my team looks boring.
        lol

        And yes, I'd © Jimenez as I don't trust Tony enough to © him. He can go AWOL quite easily.

          • 14 Years

          Jimi a very slight benching risk ?

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

    Is DeBruyne a must have now the the league is decided? with the rotation risk, surely funds could be used else where?

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

      They could do but big red arrow any time KDB nabs points (which so far, is still often).

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

      City will have to maintain form with upcoming CL, sticking

    3. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      City will want to cement 2nd and keep sharp for CL

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

    Who to play from the following:

    A) Kiki
    B) Holgate
    C) Lascelles

    Currently on A

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

      Kiko*

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

      Maybe lascelles, cherries without goalscorers

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

      Let's have a Kiko.
      (I have Lascelles 1st on bench, so C.)

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

      Same dilemma, I am playing holgate because Everton are defensively solid and Leicester look toothless

    5. Pinturicchio10
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Answered same question a minute 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.

      Anyone still with their TC, when are you going to use it?

      1. Distinctly Average
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Maybe roll the dice on 38?

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

        Gw38, city vs norwich

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

          But who?

          I had been thinking of Kun all the way through. KdB is the obvious call I guess but the direct goal threat I think is lightly overstated from the last 2 weeks with pens and Fks

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

        Was thinking about 38 - now looking at 33

        Rotation is an obvious worry given the schedule - half thinking about United then. They have a plum fixture - Bournemouth look trash to me - and they have the extra day off.

        Mo makes much more sense of course so that''s where I'll probably go when I do.

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

        I was looking at the FH for GW38, have some fun 🙂

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

          Fun is the key

          Having a chip in 38 gives you that little ray of hope no?

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

            Fernandes against BOU maybe?

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

              Thinking Rash is due. Goes both ways this but he could/should have hauled big time against SU.

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

      Who to captain?

      Auba
      Jimmi
      Rashy
      Son

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

        jimmy

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

        If you kept him till now: Auba

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

        Auba, then Jimmy. Not many will own Auba now, I dumped him after DGW

      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      My teams got a RMT score of less than 50 and a season-low 4 Scout Picks. I and am extremely tempted to FH to the Scout Picks team with Pope and TAA instead of Martinez and Pulisic. Yes or no ? I could captain either Jimenez or Auba

      Pope
      TAA, Kiko, Holgate
      Salah, KDB, Son, Bruno
      Rashford, Jimenez (c), DCL

      to

      Pope

        No way

      2. ShackledAce
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years

        All i see is Salah + bruno -> aubameysng, so hard no

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

          The D is my biggest concern. I've got Kiko got Holgate, the rest of you have got much better options Doherty, Aurier, AWB , PVA etc

      3. Pinturicchio10
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Its low because City / Liverpool. Mine is low too but I'm very confident that actual score with be way above RMT prediction.

          3 years, 9 months ago

          Besides good form, what's the thinking over Jimi (c) over the likes of Bruno and Martial? Is it because he's likely to get 90 mins, nice fixture and no FA Cup game 3 days before?

          1. Danstoke82
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Consistency for me

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

            Jimenez for me has a lower ceiling than Utd attackers this week, he had one shot on target against Bournemouth I believe, and it’s not long since that game. I think Martial gets a rest for FA Cup so I am captaining him.

          3. bitm2007
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            I think no FA Cup game is a disadvantage for Jimi. Today's game will be his third in less than 7 days, Bruno and Martial could easily be rested this weekend, and be fresh for Brighton.

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

              Agreed mostly

              Arsenal carved out loads of chances v Brighton (without checking stats). The upside of Jim is that he carries so much of Wolves great. Haven't checked GI but it must be huge - trickier with United where the spoils are shared around more.

            • 6 Years

            Saiss for a -4 doesn't make sense this week when he could get a YC and be suspended for 2 matches.

            Even if Taylor gets 2 points, Saiss kinda has to at least get a CS to have made it worthwhile.

            BB imo

            That's a really strong set up. Even if you miss one to rotation there are 3 who could haul from bench. Also from here on in rotation is a danger from the tight schedule - 33 for instance is a really dangerous week with all the top teams pretty much getting only 2 days off between PL games apart from United who have 3. That's probably more dangerous than a FA cup week where most teams will field a really weak cup team

          B) Captain Martial or Jimi ?

          C) Bench 1: Aurier/United Defender/ nketia?

          • 12 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          A) Auba or B) Jimi for captain?

          Auba defintiely has higher ceiling and has better fixture but Jimi more consistent and much less likely to be rotated.

          Have Son as well but don't particularly fancy him

            Auba, last chance saloon

            If I had Auba I'd captain him. Reluctantly though

            True. It seems nonsensical to have an £11m striker home to Norwich and not be able to stick the armband on him.

          Really hoping for an early team news link from Wolves for some Jota news. Not confident on all of my bench getting game time so a (-4) transfer to move on Jota might be needed if he isn't starting.

          Play:
          A DCL
          B Saka

            B. Dont trust DCL

          Bringing in Auba for DCL and sticking the armband on him...

            No, downgrade mane when pool are fat and disinterested and make a killer bench then

          Thoughts on this WC team with BB chip still to play (have avoided fodder and gone for 15 likely to get minutes). 0.4 ITB

          Martinez
          Alonso / Holgate / Boly
          Salah / KDB / Bruno / Martial (c) / Sarr
          Rashford / Jimi (vc)

          Patricio / Nketiah / Masina / Lascelles    

        • Jet5605
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Who to start? Already have Boly in defence.

          A Patricio (avl)
          B Martinez (NOR)

          What are people's views regarding tactics this week?
          Are you choosing a captain who plays before the cup games start?
          Are you going to vice Jimi to cover for possible injuries to your first choice captain, using team news if available?
          Are you beefing up your bench to cover a highly likely injury count in the cups?

          The latter I think can have a real impact on your GW32+ score.

          Who to captain?

          A: Martial
          B: Rashford
          C: Jimenez
          D: Auba

          bit worried that auba might not play from the start and usually don't like my captain in the first game of the gameweek, thoughts?
