The second rounds of our two traditional Fantasy Premier League (FPL) cup competitions played out in Gameweek 18.
A reminder that these are the old-school cups that we run via our own site, rather than the ones you may see in the ‘Cups’ tab on your FPL team page.
A total of £300-worth of prizes are on offer as usual in each tournament, with a full breakdown towards the bottom of this article.

The full draw for the third round can be viewed here.

TH14, Gribude and Wild Rover scored 59, 64 and 63 points respectively to overcome Sticky Toffee Pudding, BK and Tommy’s Tryers.
Yet fizchelsea was an unlucky elimination, with a 65 score that would’ve defeated all three and many other winners. Other high-scoring goodbyes go to HiShaun (61) and Mani10000g (60).
Plasticnancy is the highest-ranked remaining entry, currently sat 22nd in the overall FPL game.
FFS MEMBERS CUP
The full results from the second round can be viewed here.
Gameweek 19 is a week off for all 64 victors. Also, with all previous champions already eliminated, we know there’ll be a new name on this year’s crown.
Plasticnancy progressed in this competition too, with the next best season belonging to 2,646th-placed Shiregeriatrics.
Proving that it’s all about the luck of the draw, InTommyWeTrust won with 48 points whilst Wolfsburgers, Sultan Saeed and Gopher27 lost with 60, 59 and 58.
HOW DO THE CUP COMPETITIONS WORK?
The FFS Cup is very similar to the Fantasy Premier League’s own cup games.
Entrants who qualify for the second 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.
