The latest rounds of our FFS Open Cup and FFS Members Cup competitions will take place in Gameweek 19.
There’s a total of £600-worth of prizes on offer across the two tournaments, with a full breakdown towards the bottom of this article.
Here, we’ll look at the previous results from Gameweek 18 and the draw for the round that starts on Sunday.
FFS MEMBERS CUP
There were wins for several managers who are currently in the top 1k overall: Minority Laporte, ZIKOFLY and I Member.
The latter had a big clash with Geirrard who – himself ranked at 1,704 – was very unlucky to face such a strong opponent when his score of 67 would have defeated 21 of the 32 winners. The week’s highest score belonged to the lowest-ranked progressor, as Notlob Legin (592,019th) secured a 78-51 victory over prichardson311.
Elsewhere, there were narrow wins for Congers, Mingo, Caospilot and Bantam Belles, as a 55-55 draw between HUGO1995 and TG04 was settled by the former’s higher global ranking.
Pro Pundit tedtalksfpl was eliminated by Batmaniac.
The full results from round four are here.
FFS OPEN CUP
The headline here is the elimination of former FFS Open Cup champion donnellyc, who lost 61-55 to a previously deleted ‘restored’ team – a nameless conqueror ranked below two million in the global FPL rankings.
I Member also progressed here, just like 101st-ranked elfortu. While Machine_Gunnerz was eliminated with 64 points, Andrey Blinov was successful with just 47.
The third and fifth-highest ranked remaining sides had to face off too. Jay_ (2,625th) ended up with a 66-49 win over noobpunter (3,281st) to secure a place in round six. High scores also saw progression for TwiggsJameson, Mullered in Maenam and AntyChosenOnes.
The full round five results can be viewed here.
The sixth-round draw is available here.
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.
