FFS Cup

The latest FFS Cup fixtures and results

We have now reached the sixth round of our FFS Cup, with only 16 Fantasy managers remaining in the competition following the conclusion of Gameweek 33+.

The round-of-16 will play out in Gameweek 34+, the deadline for which is at 17:00 BST today.

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

Former winner Wild Rover is still alive and kicking, having narrowly seen off Cailean_2 at the weekend.

Manisaspor, our highest ranked manager, was indebted to his lofty OR as it saw him through to the last 16 after a 76-all draw with Strawberry Fields.

wilkinson‘s score of 92 was the highest of the round, while niksan squeaked through despite scoring just 50 points.

Only two of our remaining 16 managers are ranked outside the top 100,000.

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+

FPL Lessons Learned from Gameweek 33+

  1. Gameweek 34+ Captaincy
    Gregor
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Kevin De Bruyne, Bruno Fernandes and Harry Kane look like the main captaincy contenders this gameweek, but which horse are you backing?

    KDB: Rested, home game, opposition have injury problems and not much to play for, penalties.

    Bruno: 30 points in his last two games, seemingly undroppable, probably on the next penalty, team is highly motivated and in excellent form.

    Kane: Penalties, very rarely doesn’t get the full 90 minutes, Bournemouth look absolutely woeful. Will be away though.

    Probably De Bruyne for me, though United are still benefiting from a less tighter schedule than City and look to be on a roll whilst Kane could be a huge differential for those willing to take the plunge.

    Anyone doing anything different?

    Who will be your captain this gameweek and why?

    1. Pep Roulette
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I'm going with Sterling!

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

        Will he stert?

        1. Pep Roulette
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Looks like it

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

            He’s started 4 games in 10 days. Surely he’ll be rested now.

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

              Less than 60 min in last 2: Jesus player 90 on Sunday

      2. Gregor
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Nice, not worried about your name though?!

        1. La Roja
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          lol

      3. Geoff
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Love it. Good luck!

    2. Rains of Castamere
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Rank 7.7k and going with KDB. Also own Sterling and Foden which I feel is enough of a differential for me.

    3. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Have all 3 and don't trust Kane. Head says KDB but heart says Bruno.

    4. shirtless
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      KdB for me. Already been burned by Villa's defence when I captained Jimi a few weeks back. Logic suggests KdB should start, fingers crossed! Fernandes viced.

    5. Ady87
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      KDB as it’s a nicer fixture and rested. Easy decision this week. Spurs haven’t been great.

    6. Jafooli
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Kiko: Utterly useless so won’t expect anything at all and therefore won’t be a monumental let down like all the big hitters I manage to captain on their ‘off’ day. It’s my new coping strategy.

      1. Greek Freak
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I hadn't thought of this before, that's a great plan. I'm probably playing TC this week (on KDB) but I might switch it to Kiko now.

    7. Make Arrows Green Again
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Thanks Gregor.

      Kane: AWAY game surely?

      1. Gregor
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Dammit! You are quite right, Spurs away record not looking great this season either.

        1. Make Arrows Green Again
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Sorry! It would make a little difference to me, but I can't look past KdB this week. I may go Mahrez if I'm feeling brave but the last three times I swtiched from my first choice captain it ended up going badly (most recently a Fernandes to Salah move with 5 mins to go in the GW just gone 🙁 )

          1. Gregor
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Ouch! Yeah, my late changes haven’t done me any good lately either, good luck fella!

            1. Make Arrows Green Again
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              You too!

    8. Amey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      KISS (keep it simple stupid)
      KDB 🙂

    9. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      KDB, for the third time this season.

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Well I'm top of my ML with my rivals closing in after making a disastrous minority captain choice (Mahrez) last GW, so I'm playing it conservative and choosing the most popular pick, Kev.

    10. The Hindu Monkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Kane is away

      1. Gregor
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Yep, soz about that, I’ll see if I can get it edited!

    11. The Red Devil
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Kdb, only doubt is TC now or in 36 against Bournemouth

    12. The Red Devil
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Kane is away
      Also Kane blanked at home to Bournemouth while son had 2 assists

      1. Gregor
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Cheers, got that edited now. Yeah, Kane has let me down a few times when he’s had easy looking fixtures.

        1. The Red Devil
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Hey, what do you think about TC? Kdb now or 36+?
          PS- Kane is a trap, son much better option comparatively

        2. The Red Devil
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Kdb has Bournemouth in 36+

          1. Gregor
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            I think I’d be tempted to wait for 36+ or 38+, might even have team news if you can wait till the last day.

            1. The Red Devil
              • 9 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              Thanks thinking FH 38 & TC 36
              fingers crossed

      2. Pieterke30
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Spurs are POOR anyway

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

          They are POO everywhere 😀

    13. PompeyUpNorth!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Sterling for me

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

      Cheers for this Gregor!

  2. shirtless
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Bring in Foden and start ahead of Jimi in a 3-5-2?!

    1. Pep Roulette
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      If it's for free then yes

      1. shirtless
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Yes for free. Spare funds from doing DCL>Greenwood... Quite like the idea of 2.4m ITB and 2 FT's next week though just incase...

    2. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yeh, I'm dropping Jimi to the bench.

  3. Ady87
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Would you take anyone out for a hit for Foden or Sterling? Feel like 1 city player could kill me this week.

    Martinez
    TAS Aurier Saiss
    Salah KDB Bruno Pulisic Son
    Greenwood Jimi

    Subs: Ings Lascelles Williams

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

      I have done Salah to Sterling for free. Would do it for -3.7 I think. 🙂

  4. Tmel
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Start one from each:

    a) Saiss
    b) Holgate

    1) Jimenez
    2) Holgate

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Start both Holgate

  5. Slitherene
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Any news on Holgate??

  6. yer old da
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Decided it's in for a penny in for a pound at this stage of the season if I'm serious about top 1k. Climbed from 17k to 7k these past 3 weeks and now need some top 10k differentials to push on again. So despite possible injuries to Holgate and Lascelles, I'll gamble that Femenia plays the next 2 against NOR and NEW and instead use my FT on Jimenez > Kane.

    Who likes the new team for this week?

    Pope
    TAA, Doherty, Femenia
    Salah, KDB(c), Bruno(vc), Pulisic
    Kane, Rashford, Greenwood
    Subs: Martin, Holgate, Lascelles, Davis

    Next week it's Kane > Vardy to keep chasing that sweet Bournemouth defence.

    1. FPL_BUCCANEER
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      looks good to me!

    2. JabariParkersEyelid
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Looks great.

  7. AD2110
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Captain (?):

    A) KDB
    B) Son

    No one in my ML has Son so seems like the obvious pick if chasing, but i'm just not that confident on him delivering....

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      A

    2. Only a Hazard of time
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      KDB and hope the rest of your team is enough to make ground. If KDB hauled your season would be over.

      1. AD2110
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        That’s what happened last week when I decided to captain Salah over Bruno haha

    3. ChipsnGravy
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      A

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

    Holgate and Nketiah to Ings and Mendy?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Like it

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

      Yes

  9. Miguel Sanchez
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Salah (bha) or Mahrez (NEW) for this GW?

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

      Mahrez...... both may be rotated but I think Mahrez has more chance of playing 90

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

        Mahrez always gets subbed around 60 mins

        1. Andy_Social
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          59 mins. I should know, I captained him 🙁

  10. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Best moves here with 1ft and 0.2m

    DDG
    Taa • Doherty • Holgate -- Kiko Lamptey
    KDB • Salah • Bruno • Pulisic --- Guendouzi
    DCL • Rashford • Jimenez

    A: Salah > Mahrez + 4m to get martial in gw35

    B: Save FT and do a mini WC next gw to bring in both martial and Greenwood

    C: Salah + Jimmy >> Mahrez + Kane (-4)

    Someone talk me out of this FH team?

    Martinez
    Azpi - Aurier - TAA
    Mahrez - KdB - Foden - Martial - Bruno
    Kane - Greenwood

    Original team below:

    Pope
    AWB - Doherty - TAA - Kiko
    KdB - Bruno - Martial - Salah
    Jimi - DCL

    1. King Barry
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Very similar to my FH team excerpt I have Kepa, Doherty and Sterling instead of your Martinez, Azpi & Mahrez

  12. Mr Flibble
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Is it madness to take a -4 to do Rashford+Saka -> Greenwood and Foden so that I can have 3 City attackers (Mahrez, KDB and Phil) against Newcastle

    1. Legohair
      • 7 Years

      No

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

      Save for City vs Bournemouth in my opinion

  15. Jafooli
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Start Pope (whu) or Marinez (LEI)? Have managed to pick the wrong one for the past three GWs....

  16. Ruinenlust
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Thoughts on Foden?

    1. kamdaraji

      lovely boy

    2. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years

      Catch and keep

  17. JELLYFISH
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    What formations are folk going with?

    With limited attacking picks I am leaning towards going 451 with a Liverpool DEF double up

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      451

    2. Forza

      Sarr, purely because of form.

    3. DannyDrinkVodka
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      So difficult, but it would have to be C for me........Sarr is capable of an explosive performance

      1. Squeazy

        Ok, this has convinced me. Thank you!

    Anyone else think next season the deadline should be put back 2 hours?

      Yea, put the deadline to 5PM on Saturdays.

      Right after the full time whistle sounds decent.

        Just because on game weeks like this, if there’s early team news, people in Asia are fast asleep and shouldn’t have to get up to check early team news. That’s all

          You're not making any sense sorry.

          If you put the deadline back 2 hours then the deadline is at half time of the first match or all the matches on any given Saturday.

          I think you're question needs rewording.

          The deadline is an hour before the first match kicks

            He means putting the deadline to 2 hours before KO of the first match, to avoid people taking advantage of team leaks while some international players will be asleep

    i took a -4 to do jimenez+rashford to kane and greenwood, already have a bad feeling about it, the moral of the story is forget about Kane, he'll disappoint as always
