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.

    Pukki or Coutinho? Start one

      Pukki

    2. Big boy Bowen

      Coutinho!

    3. Ode

      Pukki 100%, masterclass incoming

    4. 404_FC
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      pukki

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

      There are -4 options worth considering to either

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

        I have 2.6 itb who would you get for a minus 4? Am.already 10 points behind

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

          I think you need some upside chasing in this scenario. Coutinho and Pukki chance of goal involvement pretty minimal imo. I would lean towards Mount as my first option. Arguments could be made for Maddison, Foden, Diaz, Jota, Kulu, Harvey Barnes in midfield. Personally I love the Kulu play for his assist potential alone (as maybe a second consideration after Mount)
          Pukki + 2.6 buys you Toney, Jesus, Nketiah, None are probably favored to score +4 over Pukki so not sure I would do any of those, but you could argue all 3 of them have a higher chance of scoring at least 1 goal than Pukki, and could even brace.
          Having said all that, Pukki scoring 1 goal against Spurs is certainly in the realm of possibility so nothing wrong with just playing Pukki if you don't like the -4.
          Good luck whatever you decide

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

            Dunno if you see this but thanks for your detailed reply mate really appreciate it!

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

      But having said that, Pukki

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

      Pukki

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

    Which option would you go for?

    A) Salah/Richa for Son/Vardy worth -8?

    B) Salah/Saka to Son/Diaz for -4?

    C) Salah/Ramsey to Son/Maddison (also have Barnes and would have to bench Richa)

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

      A

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Cheers, mate, a bit worried for -8…

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

      C also for -4

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

      I'd just do Salah to Son and keep Saka tbh. Diaz against Wolves > Saka against Everton +4 ? I don't see it.

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

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

    Salah & Nketiah to Dias and Vardy (-4)?

    Would leave me with:

    Schmeichel
    Trent | Robbo | Cancelo
    Son | Diaz | Kulusevski | Gordon
    Kane | Vardy | Pukki

    Bachmann | Amartey | Schar | Ramsey

    3. I Must Break You
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      I have Alonso > Barnes as well as Mount > Bowen in expected pts, so it's clearly A for me

  10. How I met your Mata
    • 8 Years

    Start Pukki or Broja

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Pukki

    Lost on the last page.
    Afternoon Guys, I see a lot of chat, especially on twitter that Chelsea are resting lots of players due to a comment by the manager. but I can not find anything to back this up ?? Can anyone confirm the source. ? I have read all of Ben Dinnerys tweets and there is zero mention that Tuchal said he will rest his players. I see that Alonso talks about the amount of games but nothing about rotation.

  12. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE

    Weghorst -> Toney worth a hit?

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

      No

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE

        Cheers

    2. putana

      easily

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        I don't find it easy! Weghorst could start and they are fighting for survival..

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

      Meh

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

      Weghorst might not even start so i'd say yes

    5. jonnybhoy
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      No

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

      I have Toney expected pts = Weghost +1.8, so, no. Although Toney probably greater upside.
      You know you're going to do it, so just go for it!
      Good luck either way

  13. Kingy109

    Stick or twist with Salah?
    Schmeichel (Steele)
    Trent Matip Laporte Cancelo (Veltman)
    Salah Son KdB Saka Mount
    Nketiah (Greenwood 4.5)
    1FT 0. 3 ITB

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years

      Don't know mate, wondering the same

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

      You have to the two obvious replacements for Salah in kdb & son. Maybe keep Salah or move onto Mane

      Is saka to maddison possible? If so I'd be tempted by that move

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

      Think I’d sell but tough one

    4. noissimbus
      • 1 Year
      1 year, 10 months ago

      He'll probably share minutes with another attacker. Just hope his minutes are from the start rather than towards the end. Either way I'd stick, other Liv attackers have similar return potential, you could easily pick the wrong guy from Mane/Diaz/Jota and regret it.

  14. marpy016
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Current lineup:

    Ramsdale
    TAA - Cancelo - Rudiger
    Maddison - Saka - Salah - Kulu
    Kane - Toney - Nketiah

    Sanchez - Cash - Johnson - Ramsay

    Pretty sure about Salah to Son (C)

    Then either of the following for -4:

    A)Johnson to James and bench Rudiger
    B)Ramsay to Mount and bench Kulu

    Thoughts?

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Salah to Son yes
      Both A and B could backfire, wouldn't wanna bench Ruduger or Kulu. A if you must.

  15. Cheeto__Bandito
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Who scores most?

    Kane, Mane or Vardy?

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

      Kane

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Vardy or Kane

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

      Mane because if he scores, the other two might need two or more goal involvements to outscore him

    4. The Mighty Hippo
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Kane

  16. The Mighty Hippo
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Things I already know I'll probably do next season:

    1. Convince myself that a low priced goalkeeper will be good value for money at the start the season (e.g. Sanchez)

    2. Be dazzled by a newcomer to the league, who I barely know nothing about and who's name I can't pronounce. Convincing myself that they'll hit the ground running because their stats in Germany / France / Netherlands were impressive.

    3. Get Mitrovic again and then slowly remember over a few weeks that "it's different in the Championship".

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      If Fulham's early fixtures are good, I will get Mitro, once again.

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

      1 is true every season. This season it was Raya (when fit); and Ramsdale was 4.5 when he won the starting job. Dubravka even currently has a higher PPM/£ than clean sheet leader Alisson.

  17. jonnybhoy
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Hi guys. Need your thoughts?

    Dubravka
    TAA Cancelo Laporte Alonso
    Salah Saka Mount Kulu Coutinho
    Richarlison

    Ramsdale White Adams Mateta

    A) Salah to Son - Free
    B) Salah + White to James + Son -4pts (Play -5-4-1)
    C) Salah + Adams to Vardy + Son -4pts (Play 4-4-2 - No Kane though)
    D) Salah + Adams + Coutinho to Kane + Son + 5.5m midfielder -8pts (Play 4-4-2)

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years

      I like C

      1. jonnybhoy
        • 11 Years

        Cheers mate between A+C i think so think might go for c

  18. Tic Tacs
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Play Justin and Toney or bring in Luis Diaz and Joelinton for -4?

    1. TanN
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Play them not worth a -4 for Joelinton

  19. Moose™

    Why suddenly Pukki got so much attention? Am I missing something?

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Is he?

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

      Is he?

      1. The Mighty Hippo
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        He is now.

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

      Pukki is stuck in some teams on here and Broja or Coutinho is the alternative to play.

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

      He will be a hero for Arsenal fans if he wins it for Norwich

  20. umerlfc
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Kane or Vardy?

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Hmmm can't say. Flip a coin.

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

      Vardy if you have Son and Kulu

  21. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    I hate all my forwards.. Which one?

    A) Weghorst (NEW)
    B) Pukki (TOT)
    C) Broja (lei)
    D) Bring in Toney for a hit

    I'm chasing 27 points and also have Salah who probably will have to go.
    So option D means I'm chasing a total of 35 points.

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

      Oof. Pukki, question mark? Certainly not Broja. Toney certainly has much more upside than Pukki, or Weghorst, so might give you better odds of catching? I think you might need to gamble to catch 27 pts.
      Good luck whatever you decide

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        I think you are right. Thanks a bunch!
        And good luck to you too!

    2. artvandelay316
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I'd go A to avoid taking a hit and then lose Salah.

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 7 Years

    So Salah and VVD were in full training today

    Looks like Salah is likely to start then ?

      People (including me) are afraid that he might be rested for UCL final 6 days after.

      1. ZimZalabim

        Fair point Im also worried about that but I am starting to think he is more likely to start than not.
        He missed Saints, played 30 in the FA cup final, and only 18 mins vs Villa, last 90 mins was vs Spurs on the 7th so 2 weeks since then hes only play 48 mins, I think he probably gets 70 or so vs Wolves.

        At this point I think keeping as a differential might be worth it, would still captain Son tho I think.

          I'm also captaining Son regardless if Salah stays or not.

      He will probably play but not the whole match, and it may also depend on the score.

        If he starts, then he plays full 90. Liverpool need to win and he’s desperate for the golden boot.

    Mitrovic scored 3 from 27 in his last PL season, no idea why he would improve much on that now.

  24. umerlfc

    Which combo scores the most points?

    A) Kane + Diaz
    B) Vardy + Diaz
    C) Toney + Mane

    1. artvandelay316
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      A

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

      How about Vardy + Mount?

      1. umerlfc
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Already got Mount

  25. artvandelay316
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Do I go...
    A) KDB to Son, Broja to Gelhardt and Saka to Luis Diaz for -8
    B) KDB to Son and Saka to Maddison for -4?
    C) Just KDB to Son for free

    Other mids and forwards are
    Mount, Kulu, Zaha
    Kane, Richarlison

    Cheers.

    Reported €100 million a year after tax contract for Mbappe is a joke. What is this sport coming to

    1. ZimZalabim
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      also reported he gets 300m signing bonus and can decide managers and transfers

      The whole thing sounds absurd

    2. TanN
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      agreed, that is ridiculous and Real Madrid are paying well over the odds of you think how (comparatively) cheap Haaland to City was.

      Absolutely crazy. Makes me sick what oil money is doing to football. How are proper clubs supposed to compete

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

        I’m neutral btw but just think this is ruining the game we all love

        1. ZimZalabim
          • 7 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          A "neutral" that keeps saying us when talking about United and hates Liverpool lol, but ok.

          But also I totally agree with you these oil clubs have destroyed the transfer market and the wages and by consequence the game we all love.

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

            I might have made a typo if I put us I think. For the same reason I hate the oil clubs I do have a lot of respect and admiration for Utd and the fact that they try and get success organically without throwing good money after bad and just buying it. Hope they have a swift return to the top now Atkinson, Dean and Moss are retiring

  28. TanN

    Schmeichel
