FFS Cup

The latest FFS Cup fixtures and results

We’ve reached the semi-finals of our FFS Cup following the completion of Gameweek 35+ and £300-worth of prizes will be on the line over the next two Gameweeks.

The last four of this competition will take place in Gameweek 36+, the deadline for which is at 19:15 BST today.

ALL RESULTS FROM THE QUARTER-FINALS CAN BE VIEWED HERE
THE FULL DRAW FOR THE SEMI-FINALS IS AVAILABLE TO VIEW HERE

The run of former winner Wild Rover came to an end in Gameweek 35+, with the one-time champion defeated 52-40 by Manisaspor.

Powell came out on top in his all-top 5k clash with graslauk, with his 88 points lifting him inside the top 500 in FPL.

Sharpey saw off Bencaraway 51-42 to reach the last four, while Joax2 climbed into the top 10,000 with a 60-54 victory over White Russian FC.

Three of our four semi-finalists are inside the top 10k, indeed.

Powell will now take on Sharpey for a place in the Gameweek 37+ final, with Mansiaspor going up against Joax2.

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.

    KDB ➡️Sterling -8 is about to happen..

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

      Don’t

      1. Champions League Varane
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Why ?

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I wouldn’t do the move twice.

    3. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Wow! I can do it for free and I’m still unsure

      1. Champions League Varane
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I would definitely

        1. RAFA THE GAFFA
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          See options below.

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

      Nuts!

    5. No Professionals
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      it's completely plausible that KDB outscores Sterling, may pay off though.

      I wouldn't do it personally.

  2. NOSLEEPTILLBROOKLYN
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Right so any changes needed to this FH team?

    Pope
    Digne Azpi Doherty 3.9 3.9
    Sterling KDB (c) Martial Bruno Pulisic
    Jesus Ings 4.2

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

      Wouldn't be capping Kev this week.

  3. Jack Burton
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Last one this game week appreciate some help Martial or Jesus for captaincy many thanks

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

      Jesus

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

        cheers mate I'm on him at the moment good luck

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

          Thanks, GL too!

  4. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Manchester City possible starting lineup:
    Ederson; Walker, Stones, Otamendi, Zinchenko; Gundogan, Fernandinho, D.Silva; Bernardo, Jesus, Foden

    Sportmole.

    Seems legit to me and totally plausible.

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

      Wouldn't surprise me. In the PL they can't go up or down, full focus on Arsenal. Maybe even Cancelo instead of Walker

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

        think this well also be the starting line up but Cancelo instead of Walker

    2. No Professionals
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      what do you mean by legit?

    3. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Wouldn't be a surprise. But would suck. I have KdB, Foden and Sterling.

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Same combo as me Camzy. Good luck

    4. Je suis le chat
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Who would be on penos?

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

        Ederson I hope 😛

        Gundogan has taken and missed couple so could be Dilva?

    5. fr3d
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      That is a prediction and it's totally irrelevant

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

      They never get it right.

  5. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Which 1 on FH?

    A) Martial

    B) Salah

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

      b

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      A

    3. Ange Ball
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Salah

    4. Jack Burton
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Martial saving my season he is

    5. DontPiqueTooSoon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      A

  6. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Best move? Only for the next 2 as considering FH38+ now.

    A. KDB >> Sterling(C)
    B. Vardy >> Jesus
    C. Jimmy >> Giroud / Ings

    Martinez
    TAA • Doherty • Holgate
    Salah • Martial • KDB • Bruno • Foden
    Vardy • Jimmy
    (3.9, Greenwood, Lascelles, Kiko)

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

      B

    2. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Vardy to Ings?

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Vardy has the better fixture than Jimmy this week though?

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

          Henderson has conceded 6 goals in his last 11 starts, Newcastle red card aberration excepted?

          1. RAFA THE GAFFA
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            True. Very unsure on all my strikers tbh. That’s why I was going to FH. What move do you like above?

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

              Call me mental

              But I like Jimmy > Giroud (*IF* we get the teamsheet)

              1. RAFA THE GAFFA
                • 7 Years
                3 years, 8 months ago

                Mental 😉

    3. Champions League Varane
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      A

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Haha 🙂

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

      A

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Hmm, thank you

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

    Patricio
    Alonso/James Azpi AWB
    Sterling, Foden, Fernandes, Pulisic, Antonio
    Jesus, Ings

    Any changes needed to this Free Hit draft?

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

    People rushing Vardy out quicker than they got him in last GW 😮

    1. FPL Theorist
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      He was always a one-week punt.

      1. fr3d
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        8 points worth of Free Transfers then

    2. Maddamotha
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Typical this place. And everyone rushing Sterling is because he's going to score a hatrick every week now.

    3. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah, I’m unsure. See above

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

      Can you share more of the thought process? Per below - I've been one of Vardy's big advocates all season, through thick & thin - but do you think there is no justifiable logic for taking the risk to sell him this week? Becuase my finger is getting closer to the button - and its quite conflicting

      https://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2020/07/14/fpl-lessons-learned-as-martial-and-rashford-outscore-fernandes/?hc_page=6&hc_sort_by=comment_date#hc_comment_22106251

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        He’ll go this week or next for me I think. Sheff U look tight at the back again then he has Spurs away where I think it’ll be a boring Mourinho 0-0, 1-0. Regret getting him now I think. Which move you think is best matey?

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

          Yeah its such a tough call - feels rather season defining tbh

          I replied above on your moves 🙂

  9. Blue&White85
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Hi, which do you think is the better option?

    A. TAA & Femenia to Alonso (if confirmed starting) & Digne

    B. Boly & Saka to Digne & Guendouzi

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

      A

  10. Ange Ball
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Hi All,

    Narrowed it down to following moves which one should I do. Playing my Bench Boost last roll dice to catch my rival.

    A) Rashford > Giroud Free
    B) Foster Rashford > McCarthy Jesus -4
    C) Rashford Kiko > Giroud Alonso -4 Depend on team news.
    D) Punt Bruno Greenwood > Giroud DSilva Keep Rashford

    I would appreciate feedback.
    Thanks!

    1. No Professionals
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      wouldn't take Rashford out for Giroud.

    2. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Keep Rashford

  11. DontPiqueTooSoon
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Opinions on the following FPL hive mind, I am leading my two respective mini leagues by 34 & 26 points, we all have the major captain choices this game week ->

    Who to captain? My gut says A but might play it safe with B as I am not chasing should I just play it safe.

    A) Sterling
    B) Bruno
    C) Pulisic
    D) Ings

    Who to start in goal? I think 2
    1) Pope
    2) McCarthy

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

      A

  12. No Professionals
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    feel like i am obsessed with getting sterling in

    Pope
    TAA Saiss Taylor
    Salah KDB Fernandes Mahrez
    Vardy Jimenez Greenwood

    McCarthy Saka Egan Tanganga

    Getting sterling in (Mahrez) means that i switch vardy to Giroud.

    Changing Mahrez to Pulisic allows Jimenez for Jesus. Feels like a more rounded move (both for a hit)?

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

      prefer 2nd

      1. No Professionals
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        my head does. Team looks so nicer with the word Sterling in it. Guess that is what a hattrick does to you.

    2. Ange Ball
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      2

  13. Kuzser
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    What is the best move here guys?
    1.1 itb, 1ft

    1) Leno Sarr-> McCarthy Willian/Puli for-4
    2) Vardy Sarr-> Ings Willian/Puli for -4
    3) Mahrez -> Willian/Puli, bench Sarr
    4) Mahrez Sarr -> Dilva Willian/Puli for -4 (benching headache)
    5) Mahrez Vardy ->Sterling Ings for -4, bench Sarr

    Krul
    TAA - Doherty - Baldock
    KdB - Fernandes - Martial-Mahrez
    Greenwood - Jimenez -Vardy

    Subs: sarr Lascelles Lund. Leno

  14. Fudgy
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Giroud punt incoming

    1. No Professionals
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      tempted. issue for me is that if he starts he is guaranteed to come off after c. 60mins. can't bring myself to captain him and he isn't someone i want for the remaining week.

      but he allows me to get sterling...

  15. Champions League Varane
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Start McCarthy or Allison?

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

      Allison

    2. DontPiqueTooSoon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      McCarthy

  16. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Shorter post this time.

    Kane, Guendouzi, McCarthy OUT
    Jesus, Foden, 3.9 IN (-4)

    Leaves me with

    Pope
    TAA Doherty Azpi
    Salah KDB Fernandes Martial Foden
    Jesus Vardy

    (3.9 Greenwood Holgate Taylor)
    Not a fan of benching Greenwood, but...

    YAY or NAY?!

    1. FPL Theorist
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yes

  17. fuzzymike
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Struggling to decide when to play TC:
    GW36 - Bruno (cry)
    GW37 - Rodriguez (nor) / Bruno (WHU)
    GW38 - KDB (NOR) / Rodriguez (BHA)
    Any suggestions?? Have Salah as an option as well.

    1. popcoin
      • 12 Years

      38

  18. popcoin
    • 12 Years

    Who's Wildcarding 36 and Bench Boosting 37 with me?

    Let's see your teams!

    Pope
    Boly Stevens Robertson
    Sterling Foden Salah Bruno Martial
    Giroud Ings

    Henderson Saiss Taylor Rodriguez

  19. FPL_WILDCARD
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Sterling, Pulisic or Jesus for captain??

    Such a headache!!

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

      Sterling

    2. yakirh
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      All viable options
      Go with your gut

  20. GaribaldiT
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    A lot of people talk about early team news. How would you get this - are there any suggested sites?
    I really want a Chelsea defender but I will only get one if I am sure he will play.

    1. popcoin
      • 12 Years

      1. GaribaldiT

        Thanks

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

    Can't justify Sterling in for KDB (-4) unless I captain him right?

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

      Right

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I can do it free, MA. What you think above? I’m unsure if I would for a hit. Hmm

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        MS* 😀

    3. No Professionals
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      agreed.

  22. JenkoJunko
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    *sorry repost x2* need advice please*
    FH or use 2FTs with this lot? Currently top of ML by 30 points.

    Patricio Button
    TAA Doh Lascelles Kiko Holgate
    Salah KDB Bruno Martial Mahrez
    Nketiah Greenwood Jimmy

    Not been in this position before as never had the chance to win my ML so the pressure is real ha! Any advice would be amazing!

    1. A-L
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Mahrez out this week I think, feels like he's had enough game time recently but loads of options (I'm exploring below) to replace maybe

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

        Yeah thanks! I’m feeling like Mahrez to Foden is a smart move this week. Or dilva. Also tempted with Jesus and ings

  23. A-L
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Have a 34 point gap to make up! Ignoring price, would you prefer Foden, Antonio, Son or Willian this week?

  24. Gurra
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Alonso or azpi? Only for this gameweek

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

      Alonso if confirmed starting

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Azpi if you want s guaranteed starter
      Alonso higher ceiling but risky

    3. A-L
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Alonso higher ceiling i you want the risk but I feel like he won't start, so Azpi for safer points

    4. RamaLangaDingDong
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I'd say Azpi more nailed on to play but Alonso has a higher ceiling in terms of points (if he starts...).

      I actually have the same dilemma but would throw Luca Digne into the mix too...

      CHE or EVE defender for a one week punt, discuss...?!

  25. woodles
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Which is better??
    A) Mahrez & Vardy to Pula & Jesus (Play KDB)
    B) Mahrez & KDB to Sterling & Pula (Play Vards)

    Would love to captain Sterling if I knew he was starting

  26. Free Hat
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Wish it was deadline already so I can stop changing my fh team

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

    Do the 2 FTs roll over with a FH? Poor planning on my part...

  28. kamdaraji
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Chelsea goal

  29. klopp2567
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    willian or Pulisic for this gameweek?

  30. Ange Ball
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    No KDB would destroy my game week take him out or keep tough call managers
