FFS Cup

The latest FFS Members Cup fixtures and results

A Premier League title, European qualification places and a relegation spot are on the line in Gameweek 38 but more important than all of that (citation needed) is the final of the FFS Members Cup.

A total of 256 Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers, and many more beyond that in qualifying, have been whittled down to just two as we gear up for the final weekend.

A total of £300-worth of prizes is on offer in this tournament, with a full breakdown towards the bottom of this article.

RESULTS AND DRAW

The results for the semi-finals can be viewed here.

The semi-final between glennloite and Chaballer looked like a real humdinger, as it ended in an 86-all draw; Chaballer progressed due to his superior overall rank.

However, victory was assured for our first finalist as early as last Sunday, as both managers picked exactly the same starting XI on their Free Hit!

The all-top-10k clash between **Farke Life** and Peteski went the way of the former, who triumphed by 102-83.

Again, both managers activated their Free Hit, with nine out of the 11 selected starters identical.

**Farke Life**’s win was effectively all to do with the captaincy, with the victor backing Richarlison (£7.6m) with the armband. Peteski, by contrast, made Danny Ings (£7.7m) his skipper.

Both Chaballer and **Farke Life** revert to their non-Free Hit sides in Gameweek 38, and here’s how those squads looked respectively in Gameweek 36:

The two managers shared six starters in Gameweek 36.

It’ll be interesting to see what our finalists do with Mohamed Salah (£13.1m) given that they already own Son Heung-min (£11.2m), while much-feared rotation from Thomas Tuchel could be really key given that four Chelsea players are owned across the two squads.

Defeated semi-finalists glennloite and Peteski now contest the third-place play-off for a podium finish.

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

  • Qualifying – Gameweek 30
  • Round 1 – Gameweek 31
  • Round 2 – Gameweek 32
  • Round 3 – Gameweek 33
  • Round 4 – Gameweek 34
  • Round 5 – Gameweek 35
  • Quarter-Final – Gameweek 36
  • Semi-Finals – Gameweek 37
  • Final and third-place play-off – Gameweek 38

WHEN ARE THE FIXTURES RELEASED?

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

    24 hours until the fpl holiday begins

    1. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Then the RMTs for next season without knowing prices or fixtures start

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Kick off is 24 hours and 20 mins.

      I'm sure people will be pretty engaged until 6 om tomorrow.

    Sorry for repost!
    Best replacement for Werner? 8.5

    Had a punt on Jesus on my mind. Didnt realise Werner was about to drop in price last night 😀

    1. Rantallion
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      The best options are a lot cheaper: Toney, Wilson & Antonio.

      I’d punt on Toney.

    2. Garth Marenghi
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Welbeck and nketiah also options

  3. Steve McCroskey
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    I'm left with my BB to play GW38 (huge mistake - never again) and I've got some real stinkers on my bench. Who would you prioritise getting rid of this GW?

    A. Weghorst (probably for Toney)
    B. Schar (probably for Laporte)
    C. Ramsey (probably for Barnes)

    Thinking possibly A as feel Toney might do well this weekend.

    1. sulldaddy
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I think do all three. If you can.

      Get points for all upgrades. Go big or go home.

      Good luck

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

      Looks like you picked the wrong week to play BB

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

        C for me

  4. Random Name
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    How are people actually saying “money talks” because Mbappe rejected Real Madrid. Madrid were literally the first club to ruin football with excessive money and ridiculous transfer fee records

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Shosh!! Facts need to be ignored the fit people's agenda

    2. lilmessipran
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Some clubs can finally match or outdo what Real has been doing for years now

  5. jbasma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Going Salah to Sterling this week. Seems strange to me why so few mentions him. Rested last game so should be in line for a start imho. Differential owned by only 2,6%. Thoughts?

    1. Random Name
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Risky

    2. JELLYFISH
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Could work if you’re chasing

    3. lilmessipran
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Rested? Dropped? No one knows with Pep, I wouldn't go there.. KDB safest, Foden cheaper and safer than Raz

    4. Haalander
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Because I don’t think city will steam roll villa. So it could be a low scoring game. Would you not be tempted by lukaku? Might be a good differential and good chance of hauling against that poor Watford team

  6. _Ninja_
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Best move here? Salah/Mateta to

    A. Mane/Toney
    B. Diaz/Vardy

    Dubravka
    James TAA Laporte
    Salah Son Saka Mount Coutinho
    Jesus Nketiah

    Schmeichel Mateta KWP Doherty

    1. lilmessipran
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      B

    2. Haalander
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      A I think both are more secure to play minutes than b

    3. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      B

    4. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      A for me.

      Is Vardy going to feature for more than 60 mins? He may well not start.

  7. lilmessipran
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    To start-

    1 Dubravka or Ramsdale
    2 Richa or Davies

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      1. If you've owned both for a while, then you should already know the answer.
      2. Rich

  8. RedJive79
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Leading ML by 17. Sensible to just do Salah to Mane and take no hits?

    1. lilmessipran
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      yes, makes sense

    2. RedJive79
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Have Son.

    3. BERGKOP
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Definitely

    4. sulldaddy
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      That will work

  9. Clueless_91
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Hows this 11 look on a FH?

    Alison
    TAA James Cancelo Sessegnon
    Foden Son Diaz Maddison Mount
    Kane

    1. Kryptonite666
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      That’s the perfect team for this GW!

  10. Brehmeren
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    KdB voted player of the season.

    1. ANGRY PERSON
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Wasnt even the best man city player this season. This Award is a joke

      1. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        What? Who are you suggesting was better - Cancelo?

      2. Brehmeren
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Huh?

  11. jay01
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Anyone think Kane wont start? I am chasing and he was my ideal captaincy punt

    1. SouthCoastSaint
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Enough for me to captain Son

    2. Kaysonlad
      • 1 Year
      1 year, 10 months ago

      surely Kane will start

      Looking at "C" also

    3. BERGKOP
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Just following the situation. Hopefully it gets cleared up pre-deadline.

  12. SouthCoastSaint
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Coutinho and cash to:

    Robertson and Mbeumo

    Or

    Diaz and chalobah?

    -4

    Captaining Son

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Chalobah is decent but played Thursday.

      Don't like either combo to be fair.

      Bowen and Sessegnon could be better. Or Mount?

      1. SouthCoastSaint
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Already own Mount and 3 spurs

  13. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Hey folks, not sure how much to factor in the (strong) possibility that both Alonso and James don't play. best option here

    A: KDB + Nketiah..no bench if both Alonso/James don't start
    B: Diaz + Vardy (-4)..Nketiah sub if both Alonso/James don't start
    C: Eriksen + Kane (-4)..Nketiah sub if both Alonso/James don't start
    D: Mane + Toney (-4)....no bench if both Alonso/James don't start

  14. gomez123
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Do we think Jesus starts?? Y/N

    1. The Mentaculus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Y

    2. Il Capitano
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Leaning toward yes

    3. Kryptonite666
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I think he does. Unless KDB plays false 9.

  15. clarkey_2000
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    How does this transfer plan seem?
    Rudiger, Salah, Ramsey, Odegaard, Watkins -> Sess, KDB, Bowen, Diaz, Nketiah for -12?

    1. sulldaddy
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Thats a lot of hits.
      The moves look good individually, but are you going to create "who to start" issues?
      I actually dont think id do Rudiger drop, unless he is confirmed not starting.

      1. clarkey_2000
        • 5 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        would leave me playing
        Schmeichel (Foster)
        TAA Alonso James Sess (Williams)
        KDB Son Diaz Bowen (Gordon)
        Kane Nketiah (Cucho)

        Bit wary of Chelsea rotation, think Chalobah and Sarr could play but will wait until closer to deadline for news anyway

    2. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Will you make up hose 12 points?

      Salah to kdb and one other transfer would be my advice

      1. Pep's Money Laundry
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        *those

      2. clarkey_2000
        • 5 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        I'm chasing rank and Bowen and Diaz have such big upside and low ownership I think it might just be worth going for it, it is gameweek 38 after all 🙂

        1. Pep's Money Laundry
          • 8 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          I that case go for it, if chasing always good to go big as nothing to lose

    3. Kryptonite666
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      You dont need to sell Rudiger or even Odegaard. -12 a bit much

    4. I Must Break You
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Good lord, no.

  16. zon
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Play Dubravka or Ramsdale?

    1. Kryptonite666
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Its quite close. i’d play Ramsdale only because he’s playing at home.

  17. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Which option to go for?

    1. Salah to Son (c)
    2. Salah Pukki to Son (c) Toney -4
    3. Salah Pukki to Kane (c) Maddison/Bowen -4
    4. Keep Salah? Other idea?

    Ederson
    TAA/Robo/Cancelo/Alonso
    Salah/KDB/Mount/Saka/Kulu
    Pukki

    1. Kryptonite666
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      All things equal, prefer Son to Kane, Toney is a good punt this week. So 2.

  18. Yome
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Mbappe stays at PSG, se queda!

    1. Grande Tubarão
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      He’s just said he isn’t going to Madrid hasn’t he? He didn’t say anything about Utd

      1. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Utd?? Torquay or Sheffield?

        1. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          V good.

      2. Yome
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        He called Perez to tell him he signs a contract extension with PSG.

        1. Grande Tubarão
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 2 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          Oh god, that is gutting!

          1. Yome
            • 12 Years
            1 year, 10 months ago

            Perez in the mud. Loosing the UCL final would be a double blow!

            1. Grande Tubarão
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 2 Years
              1 year, 10 months ago

              Yeah, trouble is that would mean Liverpool winning it

      3. Brehmeren
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        LOL. You really are delusional.

        1. Grande Tubarão

            • 13 Years

            Sorry, thought you were suggesting that Mbappe would consider joining Man Utd

    Likelihood of Lukaku starting? Chelsea likely to thrash Watford...

    1. Mambino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      very likely

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      With Havertz coming on late in game v Leicester think unlikely Lukaku starts

  22. How I met your Mata
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Last question of the season pls help
    A or B

    A Maddison
    B Havertz

    1. I Must Break You
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      A due to Havertz expected minutes

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      A but look out for Leicester team news...

      But pull the trigger by 2.15 pm at the latest.

      1. How I met your Mata
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Why 2:15?

        1. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          If Salah is benched and he's got 4.2million ownership the main site could crash again at say 2.20 pm on leaked team news.

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

            Games start at 4 so are you sure we get all this knowledge beforehand ?!

  23. Il Capitano
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    1FT 0.4ITB

    Ramsdale
    TAA Robbo Cancelo Laporte
    Son Saka Kulu Raph
    Kane Nketiah

    Foster - Rich Gordon Digne

    Suggestions on where to use the last FT here? Raph > Barnes? Rich to Toney (bench who)?

    1. Kryptonite666
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Rich to Toney, bench Nketiah

  24. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    1 year, 10 months ago

    What’s a insurmountable points deficit to catch in one game week?

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      25-30. Could be more the teams have a nightmare week

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      One more than the gap now.

    3. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      In theory you could even overhaul someone if you're 50 points behind but the chances must be well below 1%. Realistically I think you might have a chance at 30. If you know how many differences between the two teams then you'd be better able to judge.

    4. Kryptonite666
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      25+ is very difficult imo unless its a double gameweek

    5. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      If you have FH and they have 1 ft you've got a better chance.

      I'd agree 25 to 30 points is probably around the limit.

      Like any week you need your captain to score 1 or 2.

      A lot of teams seem to have a lot of the same players at this point, so it's going to come down to your captain hauling and your rival's blanking, or vice versa.
      But to answer the question, if the player on top has a solid team comprised of many of the usual suspects for this week, I'd say 30 points would be a 90%+ (?) surety. Question mark?

    What should i do here? I’ve got no clue

    Pickford
    Sessegnon / Cancelo / Zinchenko
    Mane / Madders / Son / Kdb / Wissa
    Vardy / Wilson

    Bench: D.Sanchez / 4.4 FWD / Tsimi

      Virtually perfect for this week Isn’t it mate?? Maybe a Liverpool defender, Pickford to Alison?

      Zinchenko is a risk if Walker is fully fit

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        How's Walker fully fit?

        I'd say it's no bigger risk than usual with Pep. Manchester City limited at the back.

        1. Kryptonite666
          • 4 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          Walker is in training. I don’t know if he is fit enough to start

          1. AC/DC AFC
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            1 year, 10 months ago

            That's what i mean, being back in training to match fit is a leap.

      Wissa to Bowen. Play Sanchez, bench Wilson.

    Guys, defending a 19 point lead so really grateful for your inputs

    My team

    Ramsdale
    Robertson Matip Cancelo Laporte James
    Son KDB Jota Saka Coutinho
    Richarlison (Mateta) (Nketiah)

    My ML opponent has Kane and Mount and will likely captain Kane

    Would you do Richarlison + Jota + Coutinho to Kane (c)+ Mount + Maddison for -8

    I know she has Salah, Weghorst and Coutinho so likely will take a -4. This allows me to defend a 15 point lead with most players common between the two teams. Her team for reference

    Schmeichel
    TAA Robertson Cancelo Laporte (Schar)
    Salah Saka Mount Coutinho (KDH)
    Weghorst Kane (Schar)

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Can you keep Jota and afford Kane and Mount?

      1. Kryptonite666
        • 4 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Naah, that’s the issue. 0.5 short or something

        1. Mane
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          Who would you bench?

          1. Kryptonite666
            • 4 Years
            1 year, 10 months ago

            Will bench Coutinho

            1. Kryptonite666
              • 4 Years
              1 year, 10 months ago

              Sorry meant KDB + Rich + Jota to Mount + Kane + Maddison for -8

    Any rumours floating around since yesterday?

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Seen a few rumours that I’ll finish WELL outside the top 10k but nothing concrete yet

    2. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years

      I hear Pep has big plans for the CL final

    Leicester going a but under the radar ?

    Been quite free scoring of late and saints are complete toilet away from home

    Tempted to add Maddison to barnes who’s already in my squad

    1. Grande Tubarão
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      They’re good options but not going under the radar - they’re getting loads of attention

  29. jackx13

    Have we seen the last of Jesus or you reckon he starts his last game for City?

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Think he’ll start

      1. jackx13
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Thanks fingers crossed then 🙂

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Probably starts but I'm guessing 60-40.

  30. jay01

    Start Coutinho or Pukki?

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Pukki

    2. I Must Break You
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Coutinho out worth a -4 for quite a few options IMO. Bowen or Kulu to name two. I might even make that move for Eriksen given Leeds desperation for a victory
