FFS Cup

The winners of our FFS Cup competitions revealed

Triple Gameweek 35 saw the final and third-place play-off of both our FFS Open Cup and FFS Members Cup play out, with £600-worth of prizes up for grabs in total.

The quick turnarounds between Gameweeks 35, 36 and 37 left us short of time but the respite afforded by the longer gap to Gameweek 38 allows to recap what happened in each tourmanent.

FFS OPEN CUP

Genovoze is the latest name on the FFS Open Cup trophy.

He won by a single point in a titanic 133-132 battle with Mince n Tatties, despite the latter playing his Bench Boost.

Genovoze’s captaincy of Bruno Fernandes was one key factor, with his opponent handing the armband to Mohamed Salah.

Mince n Tatties could also point to Ollie Watkins’ red card as a hard-luck story, along with a surprise no-show from Joel Veltman.

The third-place play-off was won by Jambo17, who won 112-106 against FPL Bielsa.

FPL Bielsa actually had fewer blanking players in Gameweek 35 but his non-ownership of Fernandes was pivotal, with Jambo17 making the Manchester United playmaker his skipper.


FFS MEMBERS CUP

The 2020/21 FFS Members Cup champion is Mohd Rodzi, who beat EUG 132-121.

With their two backlines scoring a similar number of points and each manager owning Bruno Fernandes (c), Mohamed Salah, Son Heung-min and Kelechi Iheanacho, Mohd Rodzi’s victory owed much to a Mason Greenwood haul and a more modest seven points from Jamie Vardy.

EUG’s faith in ‘single Gameweeker’ Harry Kane wasn’t rewarded, while James Ward-Prowse also flattered to deceive despite having two fixtures.

The third-place play-off was won by Rossaldinho, who triumphed 122-100 over SUNFLOWER

The latter played their Wildcard but a double-up on the Manchester United defence failed to pay dividends, while Ollie Watkins’ aforementioned dismissal was another FPL gut-punch.

    Can’t catch my ML leader so looking to hold 2nd:

    Martinez,
    Coufal, Dallas, Robbo
    Salah(c) Son, Lingz, Greenwood
    Kane, Nacho, DCL

    Areola, Rudi, Zaha, Keane

    DCL - Bamf planned.
    Starting 11 and bench order correct?

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      That'll do

  5. Party time

      Can’t believe Leicester bottled their top 4 spot

      1. Fulchester's New Centr…
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Nacho 5 goal haul this weekend says different.

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

        Dont worry, Martinez will kill Chelsea's hope.

        It's not over until the fat lady sings...

        I can see Leicester beating Spurs, I can see Villa holding Chelsea to a draw and unfortunately I can see Liverpool winning easily so Leicester will need to somehow score 4 more goals than liverpool.. So yeah tbh, its probably over for them :/

    • The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      26 points behind second place. 2 Free Transfers. Best chance of catching up?

      Current team below.

      Guaita, Forster
      TAA, Dallas, Shaw, Digne, Holding
      Salah, Son. Fernandes.Zaha. Jota
      Antonio, Watkins, DCL

      1. Holmes

        whats his team?

        1. The Polymath
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Guaita, McCarthy
          TAA, Digne, Targett, Mitchell, Lowton
          Salah, Lingard Fernands, ASM, Greenwood
          Bamford, Cavani, Adams

          He has one free transfer.

          1. Holmes
            • 10 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            Looks weak to me, so I would prefer to play my own game.

            Jota and Bruno to Raphinha and Mane should be fine.

            1. The Polymath
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 8 Years
              2 years, 10 months ago

              I agree it looks weak with ASM and Adamas as doubts. His Mitchell autosub in GW 36 killed me.

              Is Harrison a better shout then Raphina?

              1. Holmes
                • 10 Years
                2 years, 10 months ago

                Not sure, he had 0 shots and 0 CC vs Southampton.

                1. The Polymath
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 8 Years
                  2 years, 10 months ago

                  Thanks

      2. Fulchester's New Centr…
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Boring Bruno and Jota to Mane and Raph and pray

      3. Eze Really?
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Get a keeper and move out Bruno IMO

      4. House Frey Wedding Planner
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        It depends on who your rival has really....as you're chasing, captain needs to be a punt. Ferran Torres could work spectacularly or fail badly. Manè is also another good shout. You need to take a gamble at this stage to be fair.

        From your team I'd say the players to sell would be 2 from Son, Bruno, Jota and DCL.

        Good luck!

        1. The Polymath
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Thanks. My team's above. Thinking of selling Jota and DCL to Mane and Bamford, even though my rival has the latter.

          1. House Frey Wedding Planner
            • 5 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            Do Antonio instead of Bamford if your rival already has him

            1. The Polymath
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 8 Years
              2 years, 10 months ago

              I have Antonio

            2. The Polymath
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 8 Years
              2 years, 10 months ago

              Worried Bamford will score well like GW37

    • Bury94
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Every man and his dog ditching Bruno this week

      1. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Would be funny if he starts

        1. FPL_Motty
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          He probably starts no? Just doesnt get 90mins

          1. Big boy Bowen
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            This

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

            who knows, majority here are expecting weak team.

            I'm selling but only because I dont think he will get much even if he starts.

      2. The Polymath
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        My dog's never wrong.

    • Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Under normal circumstances there would be a lot of clean sheets this week. However, delve into GW38 history and you would definitely have only 3 at the back

      1. FPL_Motty
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah my memories of Gw38 are there a very few clean sheets

    • Igz08
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      16 points clear in my ML.

      0.1 short of Bruno -> Mane. Rival doesn’t have Salah or Mane but will bring Mane in this week.

      Do I swap Salah out or take a hit?

      A) Salah -> Mane ©
      B) take a hit and bench DCL

      1. Igz08
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Team:

        Martínez
        TAA Dallas Ayling
        Bale Raph JLingz Salah
        Kane Nacho
        Forster Bruno Shaw Coady

      2. Cojones of Destiny
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        keep Mo

      3. House Frey Wedding Planner
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        I'd play it safe....you have the lead and don't need to gamble by taking hits. He's the one that needs to take chances and risks....not you.

        If he brings in Mane, then captain Salah as he doesn't have him.

        I'd say just do DCL for Bamford or Antonio (whichever of those 2 he already has would be the better pick to shield your position) and that should be fine

        1. Igz08
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Thanks. I gambled with a hit last week to get Fernandes and cover him and look where I am now 😛

          He doesn’t have Bamford or Antonio - but I can’t get Bam anyway due to triple Leeds. I could do

          A) Bruno -> Mahrez/Son/Greenwood (he has them).
          B) DCL -> Antonio?

          1. House Frey Wedding Planner
            • 5 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            I made the same gamble with Bruno for the same reason!! Fortunately he outscored Salah and I got away with it but there's a lesson to be learned from that.

            I'd do DCL to Antonio.....none of the options in A look appealing

            1. Igz08
              • 6 Years
              2 years, 10 months ago

              Cheers bud and good luck for the final gw

    • lets talk about 6
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Mane to Bruno for -4

      1. Jonny HOW SON?
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Maybe the other way around xd

      2. Ian Davis
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Good chance Bruno doesn’t start..

      3. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Obviously not.

      4. FPL_Motty
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        What's going on here?

    • RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Think any of Dias or Stones will start?

      Have them and TAA, Holding and Targett on the bench.

      Considering if I should get Dallas in to have A better defence, or Mane for Bruno.

      1. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Wouldn’t be surprised if he rests them tbh. Get Dallas in for one of them

      2. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        No

    • Kabayan
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Last push to boost OR, for gw38, would you have:
      A. Son
      B. Pepe
      C. Raphinha
      D. Other (max 8.9)

      1. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Torres? Or Pepe

    • Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Hello all - all of a sudden, I’m chasing 2 ML after an awful last few weeks. 1FT, 1.4m ITB. What would you prioritize here? Salah probably the standout captain too eh? I’m weirdly tempted by Kun for his last City game, but probably means losing Kane or Bruno...

      Martinez (Forster)
      TAA Shaw Dallas (Coady Johnson)
      Salah(c) Bruno Greenwood Raphinha Lingard
      Kane Antonio (Watkins)

      1. Igz08
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Bruno -> Mane for me

        1. Top Lad Dakes.
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Interesting - why Mané? Been pretty bad most of the season.

          I’m terribly tempted by Bruno to fodder and Watkins to Aguero... last City game?

          1. Igz08
            • 6 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            Good home fixture, been ticking over returns recently. Heard Aguero has an injury? Bit of
            a gamble imo

        2. Top Lad Dakes.
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Or even Vardy/Nacho back in... could be a shootout with Spurs, I remember that finishing 4-3 a few seasons back on the final day

          1. Monty123
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            We've had 5-4 and 6-1 victories in 2017 and 2018, the game is always high scoring. I'm going nacho (C) AS I feel we will crumble early doors.

      2. LAMELA_AND_CONSUELA
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        I'm not big fan of taking hit for one gameweek. And I would not ditch a sure starter (Kane) for player, who may not play whole match (Aguero). So for me Bruno to Mane or (as a punt) Pepe

      3. Eye Test Dave
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Does Bruno play?
        At most an hour you’d think

    • Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Is triple Leeds too much this week? Have Raph and Dallas but want Bamford, home crowd and that awful Baggies defence. Not sure if I should just move out a mid for someone else instead to spread the risk

      1. FPL_Motty
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Um no, definitely not. Best fixture to target? Triple up? Yes please

    • Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Dallas 90 minutes in every game bar one this season (80), what a legend

      1. FPL_Motty
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        And to think there was so much debate between Dallas or Ayling in the beginning haha. Aylings been decent but Dallas has blown everyone out of the water

      2. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        One of the first names in my team next season even though he may be 6.0...

        1. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          even if he is a mid?

        2. FPL_Motty
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          He might get classified as a Mid and ditched into oblivion like Lord Lundstram... Hope not! I'd take him as a 6.5m def

        3. bialk
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          He won't be clarified as defender.

    • Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Why is the thinking that Bruno doesn’t start? Id ditch him if we knew for sure, but am nervous if he starts against that awful Wolves defence...

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        The game has no meaning and the final is around the corner.

      2. FPL_Motty
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah I think he starts. Not sure if theres another consensus? But surely he starts but just gets hooked early. Enough for me to keep and play tbh, Yes Mane looks a good option but otherwise there are better other moves out there

        Also Fulham have an awful defence and United didn't do much against that. I don't think Bruno will play, but you never know with Ole tbh.

        DCL to Tony for me. Son could do some damage against Leicester who need goals and a win, might leave gaps in defence

        1. No Kane No Gain
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Son has looked awful and tired the last 2 games. Barely any chances or chances created. Get rid

            Admittedly because I don't own I havent watched him recently, he's had a ridiculously long season

    • Corgz Dark side of the Loon

      Guys, Mane or Robertson ? I have Salah and TAA

      1. Van der Faart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years

        I'd rather Robbo if I could afford him, but both good options

      2. LAMELA_AND_CONSUELA

        Robbo

      Any good FH teams around?

      I'm struggling with one, here is a draft..please help!

      Ederson
      Dallas, TAA, Philips
      KDB, Salah, Lingard, Bruno
      Bam, Antonio, Tekkers

      (Carson, Willock, Holding, Mitchell)

    • Assisting the assister
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Last ditch attempt to win ML - a few points off the lead:

      A. DCL>Bamford
      B. Zaha>Raph

      Maybe even cap Bamford as he will defo cap Salah.

    • Slitherene
      • 6 Years

      RmFHt?

      Dubravka | Peacock-Farrell
      Tarkowski Dallas Cresswell
      Salah Rashford Mane Pepe
      Wood Antonio Kane
      | Smith-Rowe Phillips Mitchell

    • Gideons Rolling Another One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Current front line: Kane, Ings, Antonio

      Would like to fit Nacho and Bamford in there, not dropping Antonio... Ings to Bamford feels a bit like chasing last weeks points. But with 2 pts in the last two, hard to hold on to Ings.

      Any thoughts? Other than should have done the move last week!!!

      1. No Kane No Gain
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        I have ings. I think the 2 1 pointers was to play 90 mins this week. You’ve gone this far, why sell now

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Well, one reason is another 1 pointer... however, the biggest mistake I made this season was to sell Son GW2 before he went and banged in a 24 pointer. Not expecting Ings to do that, but jeez it would sum the season up if he scored and Bamford got hooked at 58 minutes!

          1. No Kane No Gain
            • 5 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            Ings plays this week, nobody needs rest on the final league game. Will be madness to sell him!

      Won my ML this game week so just playing for OR and looking to climb into top 100k, which is unimaginable from how the middle of my season was going.

      Bruno + Coady out for Mane + Alioski (-4)?

      Reckon Alioski is the cheapest def with potential at both ends.
      Mane due a haul

      1. Supernintendo Chalmers
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Have Salah btw

    • JBG
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Double up on Phillips and TAA shouldn't be an issue for this last GW right? Already have Phillips, but want TAA for the potential attacking returns and for blocking my ML rival.

        Yes

        Getting TAA in against Palace at home with fans back? No brainer mate

          Thanks.

      Any takers for an Aguero punt in his final game? Or is he crocked / unlikely to start

      1. No Kane No Gain
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        I’m taking and captaining if passed fit. Will play most of the game if fit!

      Help guys, trailing mini league by 2 pts, have 2 FT

      Mendy
      TAA Holding Dallas Coady Fofana
      Salah Greenwood Mahrez Lingard Jota
      DCL Kane Bamford

      A Jota & Mahrez to Mane & Willock (if fit)
      B Jota & Fofana to Raphinha & Robertson
      C Jota & DCL to Mane & fodder (play 3-5-2)
      D Jota, DCL & Mahrez to Mane, Raphinha & Antonio (-4)

      1. JBG
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        b

      2. Supernintendo Chalmers
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        B makes a lotta sense, but for a final flourish I'm heading down the C route to get Mane and Alioski in.
        Think Alioski gets the CS and has the attacking potential at a great price and Mane has passed the eye test recently.
