FFS Cup

The latest FFS Cup fixtures and results

Our FFS Open Cup and FFS Members Cup competitions take a break in Gameweek 20 due to the quick turnaround between Fantasy Premier League (FPL) deadlines but we’ve still got the latest results and draws to bring you in our regular round-up.

We’re at the business end of both competitions, with the round of 16s set to take place in Gameweek 21.

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.

*all overall Fantasy Premier League ranks given in this article were correct before Gameweek 20 commenced

FFS MEMBERS CUP

Three managers who sat in the top 1k ahead of Gameweek 20, and another lurking just outside, made it through to the last 16 of our FFS Members Cup.

The highest-ranked of these FPL bosses is I Member (449th), whose successful Free Hit saw him see off Korma Police to set up a Gameweek 21 clash with Phoenix From The Flames.

ZIKOFLY (942nd) and Minority Laporte (983rd) defeated Dog Shot Rovers and rligudfootiemanager despite red arrows, in what was a low-scoring Gameweek for most concerned.

Mingo (1,157th) also played their Free Hit to move within touching distance of a three-figure rank, beating Rfiske in the process.

Batmaniac‘s score of 73 was our highest of round five.

The standard is high in our last 16, with Notlob Legin the only manager outside of the top 100k.

The full results from round five are here.

The sixth-round draw is here.

FFS OPEN CUP

In contrast to the FFS Members Cup, there are no managers within the top 1,000 still standing in this tournament after elfortu (637th) and the aforementioned I Member (449th) were dumped out at the sixth-round stage by Bousy_boozer and the mysterious ‘Restored’ team, who is on a remarkable run having been presumably hacked in Gameweek 7.

Al ashkar, Matjes_taet and WEAK BECOME HEROES are all ranked between 3k and 6k and are our best-performing FPL managers still left in the FFS Open Cup.

Al ashkar is on a run of 11 consecutive green arrows, having moved from 611,730th in Gameweek 8 to 3,669th in Gameweek 19.

rocco10 managed to progress despite scoring just 32, with opponent TFO falling seven points short.

The full round six results can be viewed here.

The seventh-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.

WHAT IS THE GAMEWEEK SCHEDULE?

The FFS Open Cup competition will be played out according to the following proposed Gameweek schedule:

  • Qualifying – Gameweek 12
  • Round 1 – Gameweek 13
  • Round 2 – Gameweek 15
  • Round 3 – Gameweek 16
  • Round 4 – Gameweek 17
  • Round 5 – Gameweek 18
  • Round 6 – Gameweek 19
  • Round 7 – Gameweek 21
  • Quarter-Final – Gameweek 22
  • Semi-Finals – Gameweek 23
  • Final and third place play-off – Gameweek 24

​The FFS Members Cup competition will run as follows:

  • Qualifying – Gameweek 13
  • Round 1 – Gameweek 15
  • Round 2 – Gameweek 16
  • Round 3 – Gameweek 17
  • Round 4 – Gameweek 18
  • Round 5 – Gameweek 19
  • Round 6 – Gameweek 21
  • Quarter-Final – Gameweek 22
  • Semi-Finals – Gameweek 23
  • Final and third place play-off – Gameweek 24

WHEN ARE THE FIXTURES RELEASED?

Where possible, the fixture list for each round will be published before each Gameweek deadline.

    Are DGW fixtures likely to be confirmed before this weeks deadline?

    1. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah, I read on here they could be out today so fingers crossed

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

      Hopefully then the wc button can be hit

    3. iL PiStOlErO
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Lets hope. The more, the better

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

    So hopefully the dgw gets announced today and I can hit the wc button and get 44 players in 2 gws.

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Only 44? I'd want 60 or 56 at least.

    2. Zimo
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      U can't. Cuz the teams doubling in 21 might not in 22 and the ones in 22 probably won't in 21

      1. Toonmad
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        How is that?

    3. iL PiStOlErO
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Same here, but with FH. Especially if there are some juicy doubles

    4. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      And you're banking on no more cancellations? I'm wondering whether the wildcard might be best left until things settle down a bit.

  3. iL PiStOlErO
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Captained Sonny last two weeks so have pretty good situation and still have all chips. Waiting to see CR in action and not sure if shipping Dennis after this gw or keeping one more. But besides that any suggestions for some other future transfers here?

    DDG 3.9
    TAA Rudi Cancelo Tierney Dier
    Son Jota Bilva Bowen D. Luiz
    CR7 Dennis Broja

    2ft, 2.2itb

    1. Bleh
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Bilva out? Dennis/Broja upgrade?

      1. iL PiStOlErO
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Probably that is on the cards. Or maybe even Rudi out. Like the team very much atm.

  4. Bleh
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Early thoughts on this lot? Bilva out for someone? 1 FT, 0.1 ITB.

    DDG
    TAA, James, Cancelo
    Son, Bilva, Jota, Bowen
    Watkins, Antonio, Ronaldo

    (Steele, Dier, White, Allan)

    1. iL PiStOlErO
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Nice team; wait to see CR7 first and then decide

      1. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Yes, CR7 to Kane vs Watford is on cards if MU doesn't bounce back.

        1. iL PiStOlErO
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Exactly! Maybe my future move also

          1. Baps hunter
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            I had him on my FH last week. Glad that I played it, because otherwise I would have both him and Lacazette to ditch.

            1. iL PiStOlErO
              • 4 Years
              2 years, 3 months ago

              Shame they disallowed his goal but he can make up for that against Hornets 😉

          2. Bleh
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            Thanks both, interesting thoughts. Obviously will wait for DGW news before doing anything.

            Trying to stay away from tripling up on any team due to covid so maybe Ronaldo > DCL could be a better choice?

            1. iL PiStOlErO
              • 4 Years
              2 years, 3 months ago

              Noooo. Just stay away from Everton for now. Would rather have Joelinton at this point.

              1. Bleh
                • 7 Years
                2 years, 3 months ago

                Haha probably not this week but one for the future definitely. Just look at those fixtures!

                1. Baps hunter
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 6 Years
                  2 years, 3 months ago

                  You need points also, not having triple up is basically good idea, but it might also hurt you. Everton is a mess and DCL could be eased in. You have to look at both form and fixtures imo.

    2. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I wouldn't hurry ditching Bilva when he is probably going to start. If Maddison was fit, it would be different story.

      1. Bleh
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah will hold off on Leicester assets for now I think. No standouts with Vardy’s scattered minutes and Maddison’s injury issues.

        1. Baps hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Iheanacho might be decent short term punt now

          1. JONALDINHO
            • 6 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            Good option for free hit this week

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

            AFCON?

    3. T.Henry14
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Nice.

      Mine:

      DDG
      TAA, Cancelo, James
      Son, Bilva, Jota, Bowen
      Ronaldo, Antonio, Dennis

      (Foster, Cash, D.Luiz, White)

      I look at some Everton players when they start playing. (Gray, DCL ---- Bilva, Dennis)
      Ronaldo -- Kane maybe.
      James?

      1. Bleh
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Nice team 🙂

        Bilva > Gray isn’t a bad shout! And yes, James is another one I’m also looking to bin.

  5. 1justlookin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Is Luca Digne completely out of the picture? EVE have great fixtures & hes only 5 mill

    1. Toonmad
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      He's been offered to Newcastle apparently, you'll be happy to know haha

    2. iL PiStOlErO
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      For now he is still a hard NO.

    3. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Imagine having him since start of the season?!? He has issues with manager, just forget. One of the worst ideas for long time here.

    4. marcos11
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Frozen out by Rafa l think

    5. CheesyZoot
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Heard he might be targeted by Chelsea as a back up to alonso especially now chilwell needs surgery

    6. Ruinenlust
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      He’s an option if he joins Chelsea

      1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Why would he join Chelsea? Comfier bench?

        1. vova
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          He would be rotated with Alonso and in my opinion could become the first choice until the end of the season.

          1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
            • 10 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            Right, forgot that Chilwell is out

          2. bench boost for every gamew…
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            Could be good competition between how to not defend properly best.

  6. smash
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Parked up with double Chelsea defence currently, thinking...

    James to Regulion? (keep Alonso)
    Or
    Alonso to Dier? (keep James)

    Finding it a tough decision tbh
    Cheers.

    1. iL PiStOlErO
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Alonso to Dier and keep James! 100% for me. Less headache.

      1. Cruyff's Eleven
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Why? Chelsea have city and pool and 2 blanks in the next 5 weeks...

        1. iL PiStOlErO
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Between two options that one is safer. You keep James who is better then Alonso and Dier is secure starter. He has double che defence so he has to ship one and doing both out is too much atm with all uncertainty, rather save ft.

        2. smash
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          I've already got 2 Chelsea defenders, in a perfect world I'd sell both but other fires to put out, I'd end up benching whoever I keep out the two no doubt

          Thanks

      2. smash
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Yes was leaning that way, don't think Conte likes Alonso but is currently forced, makes sense holding James

        Thanks

        1. Zimo
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Good thing Contes opinion doesn't matter here

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

      Emerson? I think he's a good balance of price/potential. Also a nice differential.

    2. vova
      • 13 Years

      soon-ish. I think there will be a couple of doubles for GW21 but the big one seems to be GW22. Follow Ben Crellin (@BenCrellin) on twitter for the latest updates on that, he does very useful spreadsheets.

      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I would guess Friday at the latest, and I would expect any GW22 DGW game to be subject to neither team involved in a match having their their FA Cup 3rd round tie postponed.

      1. Conor1
        • 6 Years

    4. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I am hoping I’ve read Ben Crellin’s page right but it seems to suggest the coming GW will probably (?) include Lei v Eve, Bur v Avl and Cry v Wat?

      Anyone else read that the same way. Loads look likely for GW22

      1. Now I'm Panicking
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Wait for actual news - fixture rearrangements are largely a guessing game, no matter how many Twitter followers you have.

        1. The Ilfordian
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Cheers Jarvish. Sounds good

          1. Now I'm Panicking
            • 9 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            But yes, 22 seems the logical and likely big DGW, though FA Cup postponements may put a spanner in the works (if there are any)

      2. vova
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        yeah, wait and see really. DGW22 will probably be the one to target. Wouldn't make any transfers before we get confirmation though.

    FPL website has Gallagher at 50/50 with "illness", but I can't see any quotes relating to illness or covid. Just avoiding fatigue.

    Where have they got this from?

    1. Mighty Banana
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I seen a comment here yesterday about "Fluid in the Knee", unsure of source though.

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

        Fluid on the knee was Livramento I think, Gallagher apparently has COVID.

        1. Mighty Banana
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Oh, my bad. >_

    2. Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      “The close proximity of games means that the combination of Covid, injuries and suspension, means we have to rotate a little bit. And obviously as well, we’ve got some freshness in the group and it’s important to try to utilise that. There’s always testing going on and we’re always awaiting results. In this particular case (Gallagher), it’s making sure that we try to keep the group as fresh as possible.”

    Dennis being bought by 1000s for his game against spurs before heading off to afcon.

    Am I missing something?

    1. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Guessing many don't realise he's going to AFCON

      1. Sun God Nika
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Is it after the spurs game, that he goes,?

      2. acidicleo

        even ranieri was informed only yesterday it seems!!

    2. Jonesfromthere

      No just casuals not paying attention

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      No, the AFCON tournament is unknown to many. Slight chance he’s not selected, however

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

        Wasn’t he selected already?

    4. Zimo
      • 5 Years

      Apparently dillyding dillydong will try to make him stay. And also casuals.

  11. Digital-Real

    No one around me getting Covid, yet the small percentage in professional Football are!
    Doesn't add up....

    1. Zimo
      • 5 Years

      Bit weird that half the teams were affected at the same time

    2. Bubz
      • 10 Years

      What doesn’t add up? Literally hundreds of thousands of people are catching it every day.

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

        This.. many dont make pcr .. many not showing symptoms and mild etc .. i mean here outside UK with population way more and careless measures number of new cases 800 ... Doesnt add up when i read europe news !

      2. Digital-Real
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Stop making numbers up. It's not hundreds of thousands. It's less than 1% of the population of UK.

            I'm referring to daily. Also, suggest you educate yourself on how a PCR test works. Start with the person who invented it and for what purpose.

              There were 128,000 new covid cases yesterday… and that’s just people that have taken a test. Take the tinfoil hat off

                  I live in Sweden where it’s mandatory by law to drive with winter tyres yet I don’t know anyone who’s died in a car crash.

                  This whole winter tyre thing is made up by Goodyear and Big Tyre. Wake up sheeple!

      PCR positive doesnt mean that you are sick or will get sick so if people around you make pcr every twod days youll find some positive assymptomatic cases that apparently well like Antonio for example he was positive but assymptomatic and completely fine

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

        Way less vaccinated here too so logic says numbers should rise but actually they are very low (because it depends on number of pcr performed ) the more you do the more youllfind ...

      Where I work , we are in bubbles at moment to limit spread and currently in my Bublé of 25 we have 4 off with COVID. But then we don't hug each other after doing something good what you're getting paid for like the the footballers scoring goals quite embarrassing especially when you are suppose to be keeping some sort of social distance where possible in sport.

      I've got it now, my two kids have it, my girlfriend has just got it, it's going around my work.

      Maybe you're just well isolated???

      1. Now I'm Panicking
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        This new variant transmits like wildfire - there was a party with 120 people the other week and 90 attendees caught it from 1 person.

        1. Digital-Real
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          If it transmitted at such an exponential rate, it should take 2 weeks for the country to be infected!!

            The rate is either too high or too low for you, you've made up your mind because your friend doesn't have it

          Yes but most are mild right ? It high spread and mild or low fatality like flu or common cold.

            That’s what the preliminary research is suggesting (especially if vaccinated), but keep in mind that delta is still around too at present and remains deadly for some. Hopefully Covid will become an endemic illness akin to flu in time… but we ain’t there yet

      You’re lucky. My girlfriend, another of her family members, and several of our close friends, all had to spend Christmas in isolation this year. Lucky they all had symptoms so avoided being in contact with elderly relatives. And they were all fully vaccinated, unlike many footballers. Stay safe

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

    Can't believe these are the moves I'm considering but...

    Laca + Foden > Kane + Lookman?

    If Maddison is indeed injured, Lookman is nailed considering Leicester's injury situation. Kane looked up for it vs Southampton. Unlucky to only get 1. Nice doubles on the horizon too.

    1. Atimis
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Also considering Lookman for the same reasons, would be doing Martineli to Lookman along with Alonso to Royal and/or Ronaldo to Kane

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

      Like it considering the same.

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

      Do you have son? He'd be my preferred spurs option over kane, purely from value perspective.

      Kane did look good though.

    4. MagicMessi
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Thinking the same if maddison is out but is he out !? Also how about Telemans ?

      1. bigwig
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Maddy's looked like a calf strain, similar to Wilson, Richarlison. If so it'll be a month minimum

        Nursing one myself right now and they take ages to heal!

        1. MagicMessi
          • 11 Years

          Mm yea bur was thinking keep him for 22 ... Get well soon !!

    5. mox81
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah sounded like non-Kane owners got away with it yesterday! See how Ron does tomorrow else may swap to Kane.

    6. Nanoelektronicar
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Going for Son and Lookman probably myself.

  13. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Getting confirmed DGWs is one thing. These fixtures actually being played another. One of your players playing both a third. I won’t rip up my team for this.

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

      Agreed, going to transfer my way towards a decent team (dumping Chelsea for example) and will then try and manage the DGWs with a FH or two.

    2. _Freddo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Agreed, DGWs this year should be viewed as a bonus not crucial to your strategy.

    3. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I agree with this, I’m sitting with 2FT and 3m itb but want to be really careful about messing up my team with dgw punts and forcing myself to wildcard early

      That said, if the climate looks right I’d like to push for a bench boost in 22

    4. Who are all Lukakus
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I strongly disagree.
      People keep saying DGW players can flop, matches can be postponed etc...
      But they forget their single GW players also have the same risks. They can also flop. Match can be postponed too.
      After all, DGW players have much more xP than single GW players, which is the only thing matters.

      1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        I don’t disagree. However I think the better DGWs will happen later in the season when covid isn’t such a factor.

  14. vova
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    James/Foden > Emerson/Son -4?

    1. iL PiStOlErO
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Si.

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

      I’d go Dier, Reguillon og Davies. Doherty is back and can rotate with Emerson. Rwb is his natural position.

  15. dbeck
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    But out the loop, are we anticipating a DGW in 21 as well as the bigger one in 22?

    1. dbeck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years

        Yes. According to Crellins spreadsheets

  16. cigan
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Mount to a Leicester mid (Maddison if fit; Lookman/Tielemans if not) and bench the Chelsea defenders (liv) + Saka (mci) looks like the move here right?

    Lloris
    Trent Cancelo Dalot (James Rudiger)
    Son Jota Mount Bernardo (Saka)
    Watkins Dennis Broja

    1. cigan
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      ^ that's if things stay as they are re: cancellations/doubles

    2. iL PiStOlErO
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Agreed on all. If not Saka theb Broja

      1. FPLtfs
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Broja out? Why?

        1. iL PiStOlErO
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Not out but maybe bench Bernardo or him instead of Saka. Have a feeling he will have pts, even against city

        2. Baps hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Dennis out first imo.

          1. FPLtfs
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            For sure. I brought Broja this gw. Was asking if he intended to ship him out, and in that case, why he would.

  17. Blue Moon Rising
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Salah out for:

    A) Kane
    B) Son?

    1. bigwig
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      When one is firing the other one is likely involved, so there's an argument for both, particulalry in a Salah-less team if money is not an issue. If you have to choose it's probably Son but considering the lack of options up top Kane isn't a bad option now. I had him for 6 blanks in a row so gonna be difficult for me to go there again!

    2. Bellerinmondo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Son and save the money

      Hi. I'm still in it too and until your post I didn't realise either. Just checked and you're right. Much higher chance I'd go through this week than next - really annoying as I've been checking the scores all week!!

          You too

  19. Who are all Lukakus
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Best move for this squad? 1 FT 2.5m itb

    DDG Ramsdale

    Taa Cancelo Rudiger James Alonso

    Son Jota Foden Bilva Saka

    Watkins King Broja

    A. Chelsea def to Reguillon

    B. City mid to Bowen / Maddison

  20. diesel001
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Chelsea have such a good squad now. They are a backup RWB away from having two decent players for every position in their 3-4-2-1 formation:

    Mendy
    Azpilicueta Silva Rudiger
    James Kante Jorginho Chilwell
    Mount Werner
    Lukaku

    Kepa
    Chalobah Christensen Sarr
    ????? Saul Kovacic Alonso
    Ziyech Pulisic
    Havertz

    Can get rid of the poorer English players like Barkley, RLC and CHO. And get Gilmour back to replace Saul.

    1. Over Midwicket
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Two mediocre teams doesn't equal having a good squad IMO. Their first XI isn't good enough to challenge for the title

      1. Sterling Malory
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Really? Because that's exactly what they were doing before losing Lukaku, Chilwell and Kante

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

          Werner and Kovacic as well. They basically lost half their first team lol.

      2. jackothedon
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        I suggest you go watch some football.

    2. Ruinenlust
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      CHO has been their best winger this season lol

      1. WVA

        This

      2. diesel001
        • 7 Years

        Going on a hot streak don't make you good. See the dozens of English players that have gone before him.

        1. Collie01
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          It's his first real run in the team and he's done well. Can't lump him into the bracket of other players that came before him just because of nationality

    3. Grande Tubarão
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      James, Chilwell and Mount all English as well. Aren’t you going to get rid of those?

  21. Baps hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    I have started to consider to play WC if we get confirmation of dgw:s.

    Ramsdale / DdG
    Alonso*, James*, TAA, Cancelo, Dalot
    Salah*, Bernardo*, Saka*, Foden(*), Jota
    Lacazette*, Dennis*, Broja

    3.1 mitb, 1 ft

    Changing 7-8 players could be worth it. I believe we should get info about future dgw:s in advance and there is possibility to navigate future blanks and doubles with one FH and a couple of hits. My bad not having Son already.

    1. Shineonme
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      What would be you're 5 players you would target on a WC? Mine would be .... TAA/ James/ Son/ Salah/ Antonio's/

      1. Bellerinmondo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Umtiti, Messi and mbappe at Newcastle:)

      2. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Salah is going to Afcon, he can go. James and Alonso have difficult fixtures and blanks, they can both go.

        Son and Kane are obvious main targets. I would probably get also 3rd Spurs player. Dennis to Iheanacho could be nice short term punt. 5th def could be either Avl or Wolves def, depending on dgw:s. So the idea would be having decent fully rotating XV and targeting teams like Nor whenever possible. Nacho could be short term option, Edourd perhaps over Broja.

    2. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Salah and Laca >> Son and Kane are my planned transfers. But I want to get rid of Che and Ars assets and Dennis is going to Afcon. Nor am I happy with Bernardo and Foden is a rotation risk. So even if not playing BB gw 22, I believe that making this team good with ft:s and hits is simply not going to be easy. How well I could manage later blanks and doubles without WC is another matter though.

      1. Qaiss
        • 8 Years

        Copying my team, eh? I'm in the Hunting Party ML too 😉

        1. Baps hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Remember when my OR was much over million worse than yours 😉 No, it's far too early to block you with so small lead 🙂 We need also to catch the leader first. A lot of similarities in our teams though.

        2. Baps hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          I don't think I am going near Antonio, I prefer Bowen over him. Yet they are both fpl trolls imo. Having both Foden and Bernardo hasn't worked out as planned tbh. Rotation with these postponenements is an issue.

          1. Qaiss
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            Yeah I went for Antonio as there's hardly anyone else up front that I want, other than the options I have already (Kane, King). Just brought in Foden as well him, so hoping Pep lets him back in the team again this evening. I think the all of their fixtures, apart from the week they play Chelsea (which might be the week to use my first Free Hit) are too good to ignore.

    It just shows how much luck is involved in this game. Leicester had conceded 6 at Man C and have 6 defenders out with a complete makeshift defence. Liverpool fresh from not having played on boxing day so captain Salah with Trent and Jota in team as well, what can go wrong. The soundest decision you can possibly make. Salah misses a pen gets played off the park by Thomas and Dewsbury hall and Liverpool lose 1-0.

    Great decision process, lousy luck.

    1. Bellerinmondo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Still the right decision, just bad luck, is how it goes sometimes

    2. Shineonme
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I know. Who would have predicted 1-0 to Leicester?????

    3. Shineonme
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      On another day the score could easily have been Leicester 1 - 3 Liverpool

    4. Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      This isnt that random. Quite often when a team has a bad game it motivates them to play with substantially more discipline and responsibility. Comes down to whether the skill is there, so whilst a team like Norwich can lose week in week out, Leicester are better than that.

      Obviously Man United prove the rule with their ridiculous ego's.

    5. Ruinenlust

      The obvious play was to sell Salah last week before the blank. Just admit you got it wrong and move on

      1. Qaiss
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Harsh to call it the obvious play. If he scores that penalty yesterday, it's a different game and he maybe scores 2/3.

        1. Baps hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          I agree. Bad luck for us Salah owners. Everything can happen, but Dalah missing that pen and hitting the post after that was simply bad luck. He could have had a bad day when his EO was 199,5% But no, it just happened this week. Unfortunate.

      2. The Ilfordian
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        I sold Salah last week and was very aware that it could go horribly wrong. Yesterday was a freak result that went our way and I’m breathing a sigh of relief. By the way, I don’t know why everyone is ruling out a Salah haul against Chelsea to reverse this fortune; they’ve not exactly been watertight at the back and have a few injury issues of their own.

        1. iL PiStOlErO
          • 4 Years

          This.

          1. Baps hunter

            • 6 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            Affording Salah, Son and Kane is difficult for many. Since Salah is going to Afcon, selling him for Spurs assets is probably good policy, whether it will backfire or not, is another story.

    6. Sgt Frank Drebin

      City scored 6 goals from 3.83 xG, Liverpool scored 0 from 2.73 xG. Happens. When you have 760 games in a season there will surely be some significant deviations. Just bad luck. All you can do is to maximize your probabilities.

      1. Bellerinmondo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        This is correct, you'll do better if you evaluate your decisions on their informed rationale rather than the outcome of one game.

    7. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

      This is football

      That’s what makes it interesting. The shocks, the unexpected. Unlike the super league with big games every week.

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        In theory a good decision and logic pointed towards a Liverpool win

        But logic and theory in football isn’t guarantee of anything

    8. Who are all Lukakus
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Bad luck? Yes. Great decision? Doubt it.
      Yes ofc captain Mo agaisnt Lei was a no brainer. But remember Mo other fixtures are blank, Chelsea, blank, blank. He needed to mega-haul againt Lei to compensate that.
      Keeping Salah over these fixtures / blanks are not "great decison" as you thought.

  24. Sterling Malory
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Is Dias & ESR > Tierney & Bowen worth a -4?

    Also, anyone considering Lukaku?

    1. FPLtfs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Arsenal has tough fixtures and a couple of blanks incoming. I’d reconsider.

    2. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Che fixtures are an issue. Check them, ask about Kaku over Kane after that.

  25. Gudjohnsen

    Any chance of a Ronaldo benching tomorrow?

    1. Shineonme
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Doubt it

      1. Gazwaz80
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Any chance of Bernardo not starting so I can get Dennis’s points off the bench 😀

    2. iL PiStOlErO
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Hardly. They need a win.

      1. Bavarian
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        That's why he could be benched 🙂

        1. iL PiStOlErO
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          And thats also true, lol.

  26. Ruinenlust
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Will Nacho stert vs Nor?

    1. European Bob
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I'd expect him too

  27. Pepeye
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Not great sign Sterling learning Spanish with one to one tuition

    1. European Bob
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Probably the best way to learn it

  28. Plyng

    Sell Salah now or not for 2/3 weeks? Can’t decide based on how much he might drop.
    Hes 12.7M selling price for me now as ive had him from the start. He’s 13M now to buy.
    I can’t afford to sell and buy back unless he drops to that level. Do we think he will drop by 0.3?

    Then who to get in. Son is obvious choice but plays Ars & Chel whilst salah is at Afcon. Not likely big scoring games.

    Not sure what to do? If I held it’s not the end of the world. Thinking of keeping for chelsea given I’ve already pushed through the last 2 weeks of pain. Help

    1. fricky_
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I'm selling for KDB most likely. Will get Son as well

      1. fricky_
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        And probably going to sell GW21 unless some more cancelations take place

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

      Spurs vs Arsenal is usually a high scoring game 🙂

    3. Ruinenlust
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Keeping Salah = 0, 0, che, 0, 0 points

      Lol

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

        Already had the first 2 zeros though. So it’s chelsea, 0,0. Which i realise also sounds stupid. But salah is more than capable of scoring high against currently leaky chelsea?

  29. EmreCan Hustle
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Are we expecting a Leicester presser before the next deadline?

    Daka a worthwhile punt if Vardy and Maddison still "sore"?

    Thanks.

    1. fricky_
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Daka defnitely worth a punt, especially if you're on a FH

    2. Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Isnt Daka injured as well

      1. fricky_
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        You're right. Daka is out for a few weeks. Ihenacho is a great punt

        1. Ginkapo FPL
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Isnt Iheanacho injured?

        2. iL PiStOlErO
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Actually the whole pl feels like a punt at this moment.

    3. DavvaMC

      Hamstring injury - Expected back 15 Jan

  30. Christina.
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    So the great Magnus Carlsen played his fh last week and scored 75 pts.
    Now he's on 14(-4) with captain played and James, Gray*,Cancelo and Raz to play. And still owns Raphina.
    Nothing like fpl cutting one to size.

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Maybe it was too early to call the fh a success when the team was still a mess afterwards.

      Freehits dont seem that useful for covid blanks

      1. Christina.
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        most did it to keep Mo as capt for Leic I think.

        1. Ginkapo FPL
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Sell rebuy, so worth 4pts for that alone. Silly reason

      2. MYNAMEISBigtopmark.sman
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        But playing free hit only slows you down 1 transfer. It saved me last week. If I didn't pkay it I would be 30 points worse off and not sure my team would be in any better shape.

        1. Mighty Banana
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          30 Points for using a chip isn't a bad return at all.

          1. MYNAMEISBigtopmark.sman
            • 6 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            This is the point. If magnus keeps his team he us probably 40 points down as he smashed his free hit and what could he have done to change the scenario this week. Would he have taken out liverpool? Of course not. Don't quite see where gink is going with this.
