FFS Cup

The latest FFS Cup fixtures and results

The fourth round of our FFS Cup took place in Gameweek 32+, with 64 Fantasy managers whittled down to 32 after its conclusion.

The fifth round is scheduled to play out in Gameweek 33+, the deadline for which is at 11.30am BST on Saturday.

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

Former winner Wild Rover saw off Hafizi39 in the round of 64 and will now take on Cailean_2 this weekend.

billybly was our highest-ranked FPL boss left in the competition but exited in the fourth round and dropped out of the top 1k in the process.

Manisaspor, who sits at 1,591st in the world, now takes on that mantle, with Dial Square just 35 places behind.

Johnnex023 was the only one FPL manager in round four who posted a triple-figure score in Gameweek 32+, racking up exactly 100 points.

Every single one of our remaining 32 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 4 – Gameweek 32+
Round 5 – Gameweek 33+
Round 6 – Gameweek 34+
Quarter-Final – Gameweek 35+
Semi-Finals – Gameweek 36+
Final and third-place play-off – Gameweek 37+

WHEN ARE THE FIXTURES RELEASED?

Where possible, the fixture list for each round will be published before each Gameweek deadline.

        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I agree, Mahrez is a good pic but Son could shine on Monday evening.

    5. Fishy
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yes

    6. _Gunner

      Yes

    7. FCSB

      Hell yeah baby boy

  2. Rasping Drive
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    3 years, 8 months ago

    On a WC. Gayle worth a punt over Ings just for one week? Or is planning a trade the week after a WC asking for trouble?

    1. Fishy
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      You rather have asm than gayle even for a gw

      1. TheTinman
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        ASM due a rest.

        1. Fishy
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          He was taken off last gw surely he will start

      2. Rasping Drive
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        He could be gold but no space in my midfield.

    2. TheTinman
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Nah I think he doesn’t start

    3. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      It’s a waste when there’s such a small ceiling. Auba vs Norwich for example was a good pic even as a planned transfer out but Dwight Gayle will have such a super low chance of making it worth the extra transfer.

      1. Rasping Drive
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        You’re probably right, Smurf. My eyes were turned a little by the paragraph in the Scout Picks article:

        “Dwight Gayle (£5.0m) is in fine form ahead of Gameweek 33+, registering the second-highest number of shots in the box and joint-most big chances among all Premier League players across their last four matches.”

  3. Fishy
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Have i got this right? Not sure who to bench?
    Lamptey taa aurier Doherty 
    Martial pulisic mane asm mahrez
    Rashford 
    Jota gordon Robinson

    1. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Just about, I reckon. Although I might play Jota over Aurier

      1. Fishy
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Cooool

  4. _Gunner

    Good Morning All,
    On FH,

    X Martin
    TAA Lamptey Simpson X X
    Mahrez Salah (c) Bruno Martial Pulisic
    Rashford Jimenez Connolly

    Which is better?

    A- Ederson + Gomez + Taylor
    B- Pope + VVD + Diop
    C- Something else?

    1. si
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Giroud instead of Jiminez. Be bold.

    2. Young Lingard
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Pope mendy Wan-Bissaka
      Could that work ?

      I apologise prior if you choose mendy and he doesn’t play or does something defensively atrocious

  5. olidooley
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    4.8M Norwich midfielder, Kenny McLean has more points than Bruno Fernandes over the season so far

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      What about minutes?

    2. TheTinman
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Fernandes wasn’t in the premier league till Jan.

    3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      League performance since Bruno joined:

      - 8 games played (including away to Chelsea, Everton, Spurs, and home to Man City)
      - 8 Points per game (65 points)
      - 8 attacking Returns (5G, 3A)
      - Unbeaten
      - 3 team goals conceded
      - 15 team goals scored
      - 5 cleansheets
      - A partridge in a pear tree

      Interestingly, Man Utd's underlying stats haven't dramatically improved, some have actually deteriorated slightly (XG, Chances Created, Goal attempts, Big chances etc are all ever so slightly worse in the GW24 - GW32 post-Bruno world vs. the GW1-GW23 pre-Bruno world)

      But Bruno appears to have just provided the leadership & focal point to start channeling those underlying stats into better "overlying" stasts - i.e. the stats that really matter

  6. Roysgotnoboys
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    WC team GTG? Seems odd playing this structure but think it affords me the best team

    Pope
    TAA, VVD, Taylor
    KBD, Mahrez, Salah, Bruno, Martial
    Jiminez, Greenwood

    (Martinez, Ings, Saiss,

    1. George Agdgdgwngo
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Like it

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

      (Martinez, Ings, Saiss, Robinson)

      0.0ITB

      Salah C, Bruno VC

    3. Hulk Smash
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I think you'll regret not starting Ings. 18 goals so far, nailed on talisman for his team, against a team which has actually conceded the joint highest number of big chances over the last 4 gameweeks.

      1. Roysgotnoboys
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks. Who do you bench? Greenwood?

  7. konrad.sygula95

    Hi guys, need some advice here

    Which one would you choose as a FT?

    A) Nketiah to Greenwood
    B) Foster to Pope
    C) Son to Mahrez
    D) Son to Martial
    E) Something else?

    Foster/Button
    VVD/Lascelles/Fernandez/Saiss/Simpson
    Salah(c) /Kdb/Fernandes/Guendouzi/Son
    Nketiah/Rashford/Jimenez

      A

  8. pingissimus
    • 5 Years

    TC now active - I’ll take an assist and cs 🙂

    Ederson
    Maguire Boly Lascelles
    M(o) KdB Bruno Son Mahrez
    Jim Greenwood

    Hendo Tammy Egan Lord

    1. FCSB
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Good luck

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

    I’m on FH. Any glaring issues*?

    Ryan
    TAA / VVD / Alonso
    Salah (c) / Sterling / Bruno / Mahrez / Pulisic
    Rashford / Greenwood

    3.9 / Chilwell / Connolly / Lamptey

    Chilwell on the bench as a nice option should Alonso be dropped or Sterling be rested.

    * I know KDB is class but that poor lad needs his legs resting at some point.

    1. Fishy
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Would drop chillwell tbh and either upgrade connolly or have extra funds available for next gw

      1. Smurf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        It’s a free hit.

    2. FCSB
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Looks good but hope Pep plays KDB I mean the lad just loves football

    3. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Looks very nice, apart from a niggling doubt about Alonso who didn’t look great in the last game, Not sure if he’ll be dropped. Good luck!

    4. LC1
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Would prefer Martial in there if its free hit.

    5. Young Lingard
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Wan bissaka or Mendy over chillwell

  10. FCSB
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    If in early team news Connolly was benched who would you play here??

    1. Connolly (hope he gets a cameo goal)
    2. Lascelles (hope the ‘cut’ doesn’t keep him out)
    3. Cantwell (hope Norwich fight)

    Thanks.

    1. Young Lingard
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Cantwell

      I can’t see Newcastle risking lascelles
      But GL

  11. olidooley
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Gtg and bench order?

    Pope
    TAA Doherty AWB
    Salah KDB Bruno Mahrez Sarr
    Rashford Jiménez

    Button Connolly Robinson Lascelles

    1. Redalert
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Solid. Gtg

    2. FCSB
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      If a confirmed starter in any team leaks then Conn over Sarr

    3. FCSB
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Maybe Lascelles, I’m torn myself

  12. Redalert

    Morning all. Hows the below looking? GtG?

    Pope

    Thanks

    1. Young Lingard

  15. Jokesy87
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Martínez (Pope)
    TAA Aurier Lascelles (Robinson, Holgate)
    KDB Bruno Martial Saka (dendonker)
    Auba Rashford Jiménez

    (Sub order - Dendonker, Robinson, Holgate)

    A) G2G
    B) got to get a Liverpool Mid/att in there
    C) Team looks ok but change your starting line up/subs (particularly unsure on Martínez/Pope)

    1. Hiddenpaw
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Play Pope wolves will score.

      1. Redalert
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        +1

    2. Redalert
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      B. downgrade auba upgrade Saka

    3. Young Lingard
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Dendocker/saka to Mahrez, Sterling
      Auba to anyone under 6.8 right ?
      (Greenwood/ nketiah and okay 3-4-3)
      I’d also play Pope but that’s not so big a deal

  16. Eze Really?
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Having gone through a "never ending' gameweek when transfer prices are inconsistent, uncertainties relating to lineups and misinformation offered by managers; it has become quite taxing making transfer decisions and formations.
    Knowing the risk of 20% of players not starting games and best value to be found in midfield. Are you guys:
    Going for 5 in midfield?
    Finding yourself benching 2 forwards?
    Going for a more general spread of wealth rather than concentrating on big hitters?

    I have found myself having a good 1st sub with uncertainty playing Greenwood/Nkethia on the field or on the bench.

    What is everyone doing with Bruno with injury doubts?

    1. Dannyb
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      352 for me, strikers not cutting it but my defence is thread bare.

      1. Eze Really?
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        4 5 1 for me but it creates a terrible imbalance if forwards start to fire.

  17. Woy_is_back
    • 6 Years

    Start Aurier or DCL?

    1. The Overthinker

      Aurier

    3. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I have Laporte and I think it was a mistake.
      Very brave no KDB but he might not start this weekend.

      1. The Overthinker
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Had kdb in pre fh team.

        He is due a rest, and that is why I am not going with him on FH

      2. The Overthinker
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Why laporte a mistake ?

        1. Eze Really?
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Ceiling low and I benched him for TAA on the Pool Citeh game. He takes up a mid place too.

      GL

      Fascinated to see how this week pans out. Southampton have great defensive stats as did Burnley of course.

      Villa do as well but Palace hadn’t conceded in 400 minutes.

      Liverpool missed 2 great chances in the first 20 minutes. Going Mo

    3. Cojones of Destiny

      Bruno

    2. jaywills
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I keep changing on this.
      Salah higher ceiling but is a risk of only playing 20-30 mins
      villa stronger defence since restart.
      Bmouth in terrible run, m.utd more to play for and in form team.
      Im swinging to bruno

        I was fully set on Mo but this makes me second guess

  24. Bububuzz

    Wan-Bissaka or Maguire?
