Our FFS Open Cup and FFS Members Cup competitions are nearing their conclusions, with the semi-finals set to take place in Gameweek 23.

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.

FFS MEMBERS CUP

Our highest-ranked manager in the FFS Members Cup quarter-finals bowed out, with alblack12 putting an end to ZIKOFLY’s run in the competition.

Mingo dropped out of the top 1k but still did enough to see off Phoenix From The Flames 63-56.

Scrumper and thalliday1985 both had an excellent time of it in Gameweek 22, each moving inside the top 10k with scores of 80 and 93 and seeing off Batmaniac and Congers in thumping victories.

FFS OPEN CUP

Sadly, the spate of recent FPL hacks has even affected our FFS Open Cup.

With one of our quarter-finalists already a ‘Restored’ team after a presumed hack in Gameweek 7, we lost Matjes_taet to more senseless suspicious activity.

The mysterious ‘Restored’ side continued their fairytale run with a victory over Dansen.

Fusen and rocco10 also progressed, with Bruno Fernandes hauls helping them on the way to victories over Icy Hot and Bousy_boozer.

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.

    5.8itb - Jota > Salah is the plan, so 1.1 to play with at the moment.

    If Villa get the double then Tierney likely becomes Digne.

      I think Dalot and Coufal are your biggest issues. At least Dalot is relatively cheap, Coufal is expensive to bench all the time.

      So Coufal > someone else seems right to me. I’d consider Ait-Nouri. Cheap, nailed and looking awesome.

          Fair enough. Still think he’s not a good option at that price. But I suppose he starts and Dalot potentially not - so maybe Dalot out makes more sense.

          Even if that's not true, Dennis vs Norwich at home is very nice

    if DGW is announced, would you take a hit to do Johnson + DCL to Digne + Watkins?

    Anyone else strongly considering a wildcard if villa and Leeds get the double?

    Both have really good fixtures after along with city who I don’t currently own anyone except cancelo

    Any immediate downsides to this strategy ?

    Team might roughly be

    Martinez/foster
    Digne cancelo Trent tierny lowton
    Foden kdb jota Bowen Raph
    Watkins Antonio king

    1.5 itb to do kdb straight to salah

    Any thoughts?

      I think your 1st question is skewing the replies a bit here, but actually you've made a pretty sound decision to only get 1 Leeds player, and the addition of KDB & Foden strengthens the case for WC. I'm not too keen on the Martinez pick though - do you really want him for the rest of the season?

        Thanks for your reply mate and I agree - the keepers were a headache, I’ve struggled with them all season tbh

        Which 2 would you get on wildcard?

      I would have said Livra, but Johnson does not seem to be first choice now I also have Johnson.

    C: Coufal + Gundog >> Digne + Coutinho (-4)....and bench Bowen
    D: Coufal + Gundog + DCL >> Digne + Coutinho + Watkins (-8) and bench bowen

      Gundogan has to go but I'm not convinced Coutinho is ready yet. Prefer Watkins so I guess B of those. I would strongly advise against benching Bowen!
