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

    Only have T.Silva from Chelsea, do we think he starts???

      Doubt it

        I fear this too, worried about Not having James or Alonso

          Hard to tell who will start, James could be rested, safeguard his hamstrings!

            Yeah that’s true too mate, I’ve got TAA, Robbo, Cancelo and Laporte as my other 4 defenders, was going to start Tilva over Laporte but think il just start Laporte instead

    3 points behind my rival at top! Risky to take a hit but just feel that it's risky potentially sticking with Nketiah/Rich when expect Kane to definitely start and haul against a terrible Norwich defence. Sacrificing Robbo could be worth it.

    A) Robbo + Richarlison > Sessegnon + Kane (-8)
    B) KDB + Richarlison > Bowen + Kane (-8)
    C) Hold

    Ramsdale
    Robbo James Matip
    Maddison Son (C) Saka KDB Mount
    Toney Nketiah
    Foster/Schah/Fofana/Richarlison

      Scharr to Sesse and 1st on bench imo. Rested Robbo and KdB can both do well. Hard to justify getting Kane for -8 when Son wants the boot. Robbo assist and CS demands miracles from Kane for example. But anything may naturally happen. So it's your call.

        Thanks. I've already swapped Salah to Son so it would be -4 for Sess otherwise would definitely do that. It is a big call!

    Who to play?

    A Nketiah
    B Richarlison

    1. Salahlulijah
      • 5 Years

      A

  4. Salahlulijah

    80 points clear at top of cash league…surely it’s in the bag?!? I don’t have KDB but have Mahrez and would need -4 to bring him in for Salah. 2nd has KDB, would you do the -4 or just do Salah to Mane? Thanks

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

      Salah to Mane easy

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

      I would do -4 KDB to cover off any risk.

  5. MattyW
    • 7 Years

    Who scores more guys?

    A) Vardy and Diaz
    B) Mane and Toney

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

      I reckon B, but close one

    2. StellaMan
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      That is a tough one....
      Just B

    3. MattyW

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        What about Kane + Diaz or Mané + Toney??

  6. No Kane No Gain

    3 points behind my rival at top! Unconvinced by sticking with Nketiah/Rich - will they even start? Expect Kane to definitely start and haul against a terrible Norwich defence. Sacrificing Robbo/KDB could be worth it?

    A) Robbo + Richarlison > Sessegnon + Kane (-8)
    B) KDB + Richarlison > Bowen + Kane (-8)
    C) Hold
