FFS Cup

The latest FFS Cup fixtures and results

We’ve reached the last-32 stage in our FFS Open Cup and FFS Members Cup after the latest rounds of both competitions played out in Gameweek 30.

There are £300-worth of prizes up for grabs in each tournament, with the Gameweek 35 finale drawing ever closer.

FFS OPEN CUP

The results from the fifth round of our FFS Open Cup can be viewed here.

The draw for the sixth round of our FFS Open Cup can be viewed here.


The two highest-ranked managers of round five bowed out of the competition.

The Fighting Cock sits at an impressive 626th in the world but after squeaking through in a fourth-round tie-breaker thanks to his lofty rank, his run in this year’s tournament has come to an end.

stonerrocks was the victor over the high-flying Spurs fan, prevailing 63-52.

ZeleniMD sat just outside the top 1k going into Gameweek 30, meanwhile, but was edged out by ronaldez, who is now the lowest-ranked manager left in our FFS Open Cup following exits from Wulfrunian and the Chaser.

Six managers who currently lie in the top 10k have made it through to round six, with kenzo. – who sits in 3,357th place – boasting the best rank among them.

Goldtop73‘s Gameweek 30 score of 75 was the best of the fifth round, while pk all stars can consider himself the ‘unluckiest’ manager of the last 64 as he was defeated by RobinHuth despite racking up an impressive 69 points.

FFS MEMBERS CUP

The results from the fourth round of our FFS Members Cup can be viewed here.

The full draw for the fifth round of our FFS Members Cup can be viewed here.


Mr. Rabbit had a super Gameweek 30, as his score of 74 was not only enough to beat G00Li0 but also the joint-best of the FFS Members Cup fourth round.

The cherry on the icing is that Mr. Rabbit is now the highest-ranked manager left in round five after climbing to 1,416th in the world.

Armaan.ag was the erstwhile highest flyer in this competition but despite losing that tag, he still made it through to the last 32 after a 64-61 win over Whitty.

There was a hard-luck story involving KevIRL, whose commendable Gameweek 30 score of 71 was bettered by few other managers in the fourth round.

Unfortunately for him, opponent Mohd Rodzi – who next faces the aforementioned Mr. Rabbit – matched that score and progressed by virtue of having a better rank.


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.

    My current Wildcard:

    Mendy, Forster
    Rudiger, Cancelo, Regulion, James, Philips
    Sterling, Fernandes, Salah, Jota, Lingard
    Kane, Iheanacho, Kane

    All thoughts welcome, too much rotation risk in the defence?

    1. Sedemuda
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I can see rotation with only one Kane at a time getting a start!

      1. Arfaish
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Wish edit was an option, my mistake! Kane is Vydra

    2. mcsteely
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Kane twice would be a dream WC for me. Not sure on Sterling though.

      1. Arfaish
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Yeah Sterling is a short term punt as he is likely to play this week, will become Son or stay if he performs.

    3. Arfaish
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Sorry Kane twice, second is slightly impressive Vydra!

    4. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Nacho to Kane

      1. Arfaish
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Good one

  2. mcsteely
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Would you use a FT to swap Tierney to Trent?

    1. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Yes. I'm going to captain Trent this week.

      1. JBG
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        I would captain him as well after that amazing assist vs RM.

    2. Bucket Man
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Yes

  3. The Knights Template
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    These prizes seem a bit low.

  4. Bucket Man
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Any thoughts. 2FT

    Problems with double Leeds attack, edging towards keeping Bamford as lots of options in midfield. Watkins, Gundogan, although he should be OK this week. Think defence is ok

    Martinez
    Dias, Shaw, Rudiger
    Salah, Bruno, Gundogan, Mount
    Kane, Bamford, Watkins
    Areola, Raphinha, Cresswell, Dallas

    Could go Watkins to Vydra and Rapha to Jota/Lingard. Or Iheanacho/ something else

    1. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Gundo to Jota or Neto?

      1. Bucket Man
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        I think he starts this week so not sure if worth holding one more week. What do you think to Watkins out?

  5. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Couple of quick questions on a WC

    1) Best GK till end of season?
    A: Mendy...good 4 fixtures then mixed thereafter. low ceiling
    B: Leno..good fix till end of season, higher baps potential but poor defence
    C: Martinez...very tough fixtures but 10 pointer whenever he keeps a cs

    2) Best sub defender along with Holding
    A: Dawson...good fix till end of season, nailed. goal threat but no baps
    B: Veltman..good fix till gw36 (esp gw33), good attacking threat
    C: Masuaku..similar to dawson but higher baps/atttaching threat. is he nailed?

    1. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Bogle

      1. UnitednationsXI
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Good shout

  6. Oggle22
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Can't wait to transfer Bale out and him destroy it in the double! Reckon it's worth keeping or get shut now?

    1. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Keep for another crappy gw score, you know you want to.

  7. Nay08
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    what do we think of Sterling as one-week captain punt this week?
    he didn't start against Leicester and Dortmund

    I'm on WC and if I get sterling, I'll transfer him to Son next week

    1. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      He's hibernating, as usual.

    2. HD7
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Im also contemplating it mate
      Though it means taking someone out from my WC team, most probably TAA.

      If Mahrez didnt play midweek it would have been easier

  8. SHOWSTOPPERRR
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Sorry no replies

    Guys wc draft.Need suggestions.TIA.

    Mendy Forster
    Taa Rudiger shaw coady dawson
    Salah bruno mount gundo lingz
    Kane laca iheanacho

    Plan is to do salah to son gw32. With this team I can cover city chel lei wolves asnl who have good fixtures.

    Any suggestions guys?

  9. fpork
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    What do you think about this WC-draft. Is Mahrez a bad idea?

    Leno (Forster)
    Rüdiger, Phillips, Veltman (Reguilón) (Shaw)
    Fernandes, Salah, Son, Jota, Mahrez
    Iheanacho, Kane (Vydra)

    1. MightyGar
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      He is a risk. If you went for Maddison / Mount / Lingard you could upgrade Vydra

  10. Zola
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    A) TAA and Son (+ 0.6 change)
    B) Dias and Salah

    On a WC and this is my last decision. Pondering B and switching Salah to Son for DGW, then back to Salah again (though means missing out on Leeds away).

    Rest is:

    Mendy, Forster

    Shaw, Saiss, Rudiger, Phillips

    Bruno, Jota, Lingard, Neto

    Kane, Vardy, Ihenacho

    Going with the Leicester double up initially and will move Kelechi on when he loses his place.

  11. Assist me a river
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Rate 1 to 10?

    Mendy
    Trent - Dias - Rudiger
    Salah - Lingard - Bruno- Raphinha
    Iheanacho - Kane

    Bench: Forester, Phillips, Holding, Vydra (wil play this GW ahead of Raphinha)

    Comment if you miss any specific players.

  12. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    How's my WC team:
    Mendy
    TAA,Shaw,Rudiger
    Salah,Jota,Bruno,Son,Lingard
    Kane,Iheanacho

    Forster, Holding,Masuaku,Davis

    1. KGJ United
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I have something similar.

      Front 8 is the same.
      Same GK pair.
      Have TAA.
      Not sure on the rest of the def myself.
      currently: Shaw, Rudiger, Coady, Holding.
      debating
      a) Rudiger vs James
      b) Coady vs Fafana
      Not quite decided on Shaw and Holding either.

      Difficult.

  13. đepeto
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Raphinha or Gundogan to Jota for -4?

    1. sneif4
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Risk of him not starting so -4 is a risk. If for free I would have said Raph to Jota

      1. đepeto
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        So you're saying the safest option is to hold and play Raph? Personally, I think Gundo is at a larger risk of not starting. Cheers

  14. pingissimus
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Bielsa is such a breath of fresh air

    Talking about trying to take the ball off City and aiming to win the game.

  15. Cheeto__Bandito
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    If Jota starts v Villa and then Madrid 2nd leg will he really start against Leeds? Would be his 4th start in a raw in the pace of a week and a half, so can easily see rotation there.

    1. Cheeto__Bandito
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      row*

  16. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Anyone considering Vardy for the armband this week?

    1. Christina.
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      no why?

      1. Hy liverpool
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Because he is going to score?

        1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Something like that

  17. sneif4
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Any thoughts on what to do here? I've still got WC, BB and TC.

    Martinez
    Azpi Dias Dunk
    Bruno Son Lingard Gundo
    Kane Bamford Antonio
    4.0 Raph Dallas Lewis

    My current thinking is just Raph to Jota...

  18. AsdcavirPT
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Please rate this WC Draft:

    Mendy / Forster
    Laporte / Coady / Holding / Reguilon / Phillips
    Salah / Bruno / Jota / Lingard / Mount
    Kane / Lacazette / Iheanacho

    1. sneif4
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Not keen on Reguilon, but the rest looks great

      1. AsdcavirPT
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Just picked him because of the DGW. The plan is to transfer him out in GW33.

    2. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      What's behind the Laporte pick?

      1. AsdcavirPT
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Firstly, he didn't play against Dortmund, then I believe he'll start this GW. Also, if Man City progresses in the CL, I think it is likely he will play most of the league games.

  19. anish10
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Best one week punt for this week?

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Sterling or ings

      1. Podorsky
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Lacazette

  20. Now I'm Panicking
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    I've drawn the person with the worst rank in the last 32 of the open cup - that's the end of my run then.

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Ouch

  21. Buck The Trent
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Would you do Bale, Lookman, Antonio to Salah, Jota, Nacho for -8?

    The -8 hurts but might as well get rid of the deadwoods

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      That could work but if you have to choose to bring in Salah or Jota first, which one?

    2. Boxwoods
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Looks good

  22. pingissimus
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Curious to see Kane with 3 times as many votes as Bruno in captaincy poll. Neither is great this week but think I'd prefer to back against the Spurs defence than United's.

    1. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Especially after that Newcastle game.

  23. Roy Rovers
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Anyone seen a decent WC team with Sterling in it?...can’t see it.

    1. Christina.
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      My team is decent for this week. not on a Wc though.

      Areola
      Dunk Stones Creswell
      Salah Gundog Raz Raphina Lingard
      Kane Ollie/Bamford

      martinez Ayling Konsa

    2. dbeck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      this is mine with sterling, you can judge if it’s decent or not. Sterling to son next week and opens up son to Bruno week after

      Johnstone Forster
      Fofana Trent rudiger James holding
      Sterling jota Salah Neto Lingard
      Vardy Kane Davis

    3. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      It wont be decent with Sterling in it 😉

  24. VaVaVoom14
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    What teams are likely to double in gw 35 and what teams are likely to blank in gw 36?

  25. b91jh
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Tried a WC draft without Son. How does it look?

    Mendy Forster
    Castagne Shaw Rudiger Cresswell Phillips
    Bruno Salah Jota Lingard Neto
    Kane Vardy Iheanacho

    1. 2OLEgend
      • 3 Years

    Play raphinha (mci) or Watkins (liv)?

    1. 2OLEgend
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Watkins imo

      1. Bucket Man
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Rapha

  29. AJ24

    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    WC Team

    Mendy, Forster
    Trent, Shaw, Rudiger, Coady, Coufal
    Salah, Bruno, Lingard, Neto, Jota
    Kane, DCL, Iheanacho

    0.0M ITB & Rank 88k

    I realise no City but unsure who to include.
    TC Kane next week is the plan!

    Be brutal..

    1. Christina.
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Raz over Bruno
      Then Raz->Son next week for dgw

      1. AJ24
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Had Bruno from start and therefore so much £ locked in, if i wanted to get back i couldnt. Also, Bruno is set and forget for me. He is top point scorer for a reason.

        1. Christina.
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          live a little. Season nearly over. Try and improve your rank.
          Easy to get anyone back. There is always someone to sell.
          GL in any case.

          1. Christina.
            • 14 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            besides, Raz in is 1 trade away from Bruno.

    2. 2OLEgend
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Not sure on DCL and would want Son in 32, rest looks solid

      1. AJ24
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Thanks, I am unsure of DCL too. Might be worth changing him to say Vydra and upgrading a Mid to Son.
        Thanks

        1. 2OLEgend
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          That's exactly what I did

  30. lewis274
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Jota or sterling C?

    and do i take -4 to do raph -> neto

    1. 2OLEgend
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Sterling
      nope
