Round three of our latest FFS Members Cup takes place in Double Gameweek 33, where 64 remaining Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers are competing for a £300 prize fund.

A tournament for Premium Members, this is independent of those you can see on the official FPL website.

We’ll bring you the latest results in this article, plus the second-round draw, with a full breakdown of prizes towards the bottom.

FFS MEMBERS CUP

A complete list of round two results

Having safely made it through the first set of opponents, all four former champions have now been eliminated.

Chaballer lost 88-94 to Flekken Beacons, someone who had already eliminated the highest-placed manager heading into round one. Another scalp secured.

As well as Mayanyi and Mohd Rodzi, we’ve also seen rrcmc unluckily go out in a 91-94 defeat to Kiss The Badge – one of a dozen losers with at least 85 points. Meanwhile, glennloite (76), Chewibb (76) and SESSYLU (77) all progressed.

An even harsher defeat came to Insertpunnynamehere, on the wrong end of a 92-102 encounter with thesmed. Only one manager beat the 102 also achieved by Robben Me Blind, and that was LeSharks. There, a Bench Boost including Rayan Ait-Nouri and Joao Pedro brought in a whopping 116 points.

Elsewhere, the highest-ranked CasaBanter is still in, having beaten otacheer 94-84. But the next-best Zoinks is out – he lost to Cornish Pasty Man in the biggest match, based on the competitors’ combined positions being a very low 5,155th.

The winner is also in this week’s crunch clash, as he and TD Jakes are both around 4,000th in the world.

At the other extreme, schniggu (ranked 4,847,161st) has successfully reached the next round after an 84-77 win over Steve.

The full third-round draw is available here

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?

Both these cup competitions will be played out according to the following proposed Gameweek schedule, though this could be subject to change.

Fantasy Football Scout Members Cup Round Dates

  • 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.

PRIZES

Overall Prizes
The prizes for both cups are as follows:

1st Place: £150 Amazon voucher

    Am I crazy for thinking of benching Salah tomorrow? Current team:

    Verbruggen
    Munoz* | Kilman | Kiwior* | Ait Nouri
    Salah | Saka* (TC) | Rogers*
    Marmoush* | Wood | Isak

    Pickford, Mbeumo, Murphy, Livra

    1. the dom 1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 months, 21 days ago

      Yep, play Mo !!!

    2. SalahFingers
      • 7 Years
      7 months, 21 days ago

      I would never bench Salah

      1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
        • 14 Years
        7 months, 21 days ago

        Yeah, that's what they said about Palmer, as well. I won't do it, but am fully prepared for Mbeumo to haul and Wood to blank.

        1. Stockport Hatter
          • 9 Years
          7 months, 21 days ago

          Salah is a different beast. It’s not even a consideration.

    3. FantasyClub
      • 4 Years
      7 months, 21 days ago

      Sign off and throw your phone/Pc away. Go to sleep or something bro…this double making people loco

    4. Deus
      • 8 Years
      7 months, 21 days ago

      Hat-trick incoming

  2. the dom 1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Is it worth switching Merino > Saka or too sideways?

    Worried about minutes for both players TBF...

    thoughts?

    1. SalahFingers
      • 7 Years
      7 months, 21 days ago

      I don't feel it's too sideways, but is it for free?

      I have decided on Palmer -> Saka (instead of KDB) for this week purely because I think Saka will play more minutes from now to the end of the season compared to KDB.

      but I don't like the looks of Merino and Trossard. Merino has been playing 90, but then 15 mins last week. Trossard just isn't good enough to me. He plays, but he doesn't score very highly.

      Honestly... Merino could far outscore Saka, especially if Saka gets his 23 minute games again, so who knows.

      1. the dom 1
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 months, 21 days ago

        Thats the big thing really, who knows is right!

        Thanks for the reply

        1. SalahFingers
          • 7 Years
          7 months, 21 days ago

          Yeah sorry for the big flip flop back and forth, but I'd feel bad if you switched and Maeino did well.

          Saka is obviously the more famous one but his minutes are dodgy (like his hamstring), so for this week, Merino seems 'safer', but for the rest of the season, I would only want Saka. I would be trying to sell Merino asap after the double.

          Good luck either way.

  3. Positive vibes

    7 months, 21 days ago

    Who is best defender for 35 onwards?
    (Not from Arsenal, Man City, Palace and Villa)

    Is Milenkovic is good option?

    Thanks.

    1. SalahFingers
      • 7 Years
      7 months, 21 days ago

      I would say yes, or Aina if he's back by then.

  4. SalahFingers
    • 7 Years
    7 months, 21 days ago

    I decided on this... 5FT

    AM -> Arteta
    Gabriel -> Kiwior
    TAA -> Gvardiol
    Dango -> Rogers
    Palmer -> Saka

    This leaves me with 1mil in the bank and 1 carry over transfer so I should be able to switch out Arteta and someone else for 10 playing players in the blank.

    Best Murphy replacement for BB33?

    A: Savinho
    B: Merino
    C: Rashford

    *already have Salah Saka Rogers Sarr

    *FHing in 34 (which will include Murphy)

    1. Deus
      • 8 Years
      7 months, 21 days ago

      I like Merino punt, Rashford is the safe choice here, and Savinho is a minute's risk

  6. Ruinenlust
    • 7 Years
    7 months, 21 days ago

    Will Dias start both games?

  7. Freshy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years

    Livramento kerkez Murphy > Konsa Bradley rogers -4?

    1. Jet5605
      • 11 Years
      7 months, 21 days ago

      Don't like Bradley or Konsa long term

    2. Jet5605
      • 11 Years
      7 months, 21 days ago

      Murphy to Rogers is good

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 12 Years
        7 months, 21 days ago

        Thanks

    3. Philosopher's Stones
      • 5 Years
      7 months, 21 days ago

      Murphy -> Rogers a no brainer if FH34

  9. Jet5605
    • 11 Years
    7 months, 21 days ago

    A - Murphy to Rashford ( & bench Isak)
    B - Play Isak and roll FT

    1. Bavarian
      • 7 Years

      Roll

      1. Jet5605

    Thanks

    1. Philosopher's Stones
      • 5 Years
      7 months, 21 days ago

      10 votes lol. Better chance of running for president and winning.

      I'm leaning that way.

    2. xuwei
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      No

    3. Drop Dead Tsimikas
      • 14 Years
      7 months, 21 days ago

      I keep going back and forth on a TC. Honestly couldn't call it.

      1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
        • 14 Years
        7 months, 21 days ago

        Feck it. Going with Saka. Better fixtures and they still have that hope for a miracle.

    4. Legohair
      • 9 Years

      Captain Saka

    5. djman102
      • 16 Years

      I'm on Sa(c)ka

    6. Tambling5
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 months, 21 days ago

      Predicted Teams feature on here doesn't think Saka will start.

  11. SpaceCadet
    • 12 Years
    7 months, 21 days ago

    Best option to complete this bb defence? Can’t be from arsenal, city or palace.

    Raya Areola
    Saliba gvardiol Munoz Bradley xxxx

    1. xuwei

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

        Oh already have Bradley

        1. SpaceCadet
          • 12 Years
          7 months, 21 days ago

          Budget 4.9m

    2. Waylander
      • 9 Years
      7 months, 21 days ago

      There aren't many - Ait Nouri, Konsa, Wan Bissaka? None are ideal.

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 12 Years
        7 months, 21 days ago

        Might get Konsa for the double

    3. djman102
      • 16 Years
      7 months, 21 days ago

      Wan Bissaka for me. When in doubt, target the promoted teams.

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 12 Years
        7 months, 21 days ago

        He’s flagged though?

        1. djman102
          • 16 Years
          7 months, 21 days ago

          Yeah, I saw the comment below after replying. Neale has him starting, and FWIW, I trust his call. Though on BB Konsa is the safer pick.

          1. SpaceCadet
            • 12 Years
            7 months, 21 days ago

            Cheers man. Already have Bradley who I’m hoping will make it to 60 mins. Don’t want to fret about another players game time. Konsa seems the safe bet.

  12. Manani
    • 14 Years
    7 months, 21 days ago

    A. Livermento > Dias
    B. Play Isak

    1. Manani
      • 14 Years
      7 months, 21 days ago

      Or do
      C. Murphy + Saliba > Kiwior + KDB

    2. djman102
      • 16 Years
      7 months, 21 days ago

      What's your risk/reward tolerance? CAB from highest to lowest.

  13. Philosopher's Stones
    • 5 Years
    7 months, 21 days ago

    What am I hearing about Wan Bissaka the fker being 75% on the app?

    1. Waylander
      • 9 Years
      7 months, 21 days ago

      Potter said he's got a toe injury and is playing through it with injections. Potter said he should be ok to play the game and he needs wins so I'm betting on Wan Bissaka to start.

  14. Evasivo
    • 15 Years
    7 months, 21 days ago

    Raya Sa
    Saliba Muñoz Gvardiol Schar Milenk
    Saka Rogers Salah Murphy Sarr
    Isak Mateta Marmoush

    1) Who to bench

    Also 3FT £0.0itb

    1. Waylander
      • 9 Years
      7 months, 21 days ago

      Bench: Sa, Schar, Milenk, Isak/Murphy

      1. Tambling5
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 months, 21 days ago

        Yep. I'd play Isak over Murphy but must be best to play the DGWers.

      2. Evasivo
        • 15 Years
        7 months, 21 days ago

        Thank you, Murphy been in such great form, prob gotta be Isak out the two

  15. Waylander
    • 9 Years
    7 months, 21 days ago

    Are either or both of those worth a -4 each?

    A) Murphy > Rogers -4 (I have FH GW34 top get Murphy back)
    B) Livramento > Ruben Dias -4
    C) A+B for -8

    Thanks.

    1. Evasivo
      • 15 Years
      7 months, 21 days ago

      Maybe B but prob not for me

  16. marpy016
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 months, 21 days ago

    This worth a BB, have 10 doublers + Salah?

    Verbruggen - Isak - Livra - Neco

    1. Waylander
      • 9 Years
      7 months, 21 days ago

      Verbruggen, Livra and Neco not ideal. The question you need to ask is which GW you will have a better bench so take a look at the GWs going forward.

      1. marpy016
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 months, 21 days ago

        Agreed, not ideal. I'm FH34 so worried about potential injuries over next few weeks.

        1. Tambling5
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          7 months, 21 days ago

          It's the squad rotation going forward too, with the teams still in Europe resting players. Saka for example, is I my team, but no idea how many minutes he'll get. I've decided to bench boost this week as think will need subs from bench in last few weeks.

          1. marpy016
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            7 months, 21 days ago

            Yeah definitely part of thinking as well.

            Then I can stop thinking about my bench and hang a good 15.

            BB33 it is

  17. Drop Dead Tsimikas
    • 14 Years
    7 months, 21 days ago

    This is totally not me trying to convince myself that benching Mbeumo over Wood is OK. He has blanked in five of six home games and the only "haul" was a five-pointer. Last big haul at home was GW15 (13 points vs. Newcastle).

  18. Meta12345
    • 1 Year
    7 months, 21 days ago

    Captain salah or marmoush?

    1. Waylander
      • 9 Years
      7 months, 21 days ago

      Marmoush gets you 2 bites at the cherry.

      1. Meta12345
        • 1 Year
        7 months, 21 days ago

        But it is leicester, and it is salah

  19. DropkickMurphys
    • 4 Years
    7 months, 21 days ago

    Hi guys, which TWO to start?

    1- Burn (avl)
    2- Cucu (ful)
    3- Kerkez (cry)
    4- Milenkovic (tot)

    Thanks a lot…

    1. Waylander
      • 9 Years
      7 months, 21 days ago

      Cucu, Kerkez

      1. DropkickMurphys
        • 4 Years
        7 months, 21 days ago

        Hey man, cheers. Why do you think Kerkez over Burn? I’m in between, feeling like Crystal will want some kind of redemption at home.

        1. Waylander
          • 9 Years
          7 months, 21 days ago

          Cause I think Villa score against Newcastle where as Bournemouth could keep a cleanie and Kerkez has more chance of an attacking return over Burn.

          1. DropkickMurphys
            • 4 Years
            7 months, 21 days ago

            Good points man, thanks.

    2. GE
      • 9 Years
      7 months, 21 days ago

      3 and 4

  20. SKENG
    • 9 Years
    7 months, 21 days ago

    A) Triple Captain Marmoush
    B) Bench Boost this bench - Martinez Joao Pedro Livramento Burn?

    TC I could use in DGW36, but I don't think I will have a better bench...

    1. GE
      • 9 Years
      7 months, 21 days ago

      B

    2. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
      • 11 Years
      7 months, 21 days ago

      A

    3. djman102
      • 16 Years
      7 months, 21 days ago

      That wouldn't be a bad bench in 36 depending on what the rest of your squad looks like.

  21. Johan Queef
    • 11 Years
    7 months, 21 days ago

    Got 2 frees and looking to bench boost:

    1) Murphy -> Rogers
    2) Livramento/Milenkovic -> Kiwior
    3) Both
    4 Neither

    Cheers!!

    1. GE
      • 9 Years
      7 months, 21 days ago

      3

    2. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
      • 11 Years
      7 months, 21 days ago

      3

    3. FantasyClub
      • 4 Years
      7 months, 21 days ago

      Problem with 3 is you’re gonna want a Forest defender straight after

      1. Johan Queef
        • 11 Years
        7 months, 21 days ago

        Maybe Tino out then? As I can get him for the Ipswich game on FH

        1. FantasyClub
          • 4 Years
          7 months, 21 days ago

          Yeah sorry Tino is part of the equation so yeah not Milenkovic

  22. TheSteel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 months, 21 days ago

    Foden or Rashford?

    1. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
      • 11 Years
      7 months, 21 days ago

      Rashford

    2. djman102
      • 16 Years
      7 months, 21 days ago

      I have Rashford in my FH right now, FWIW.

  23. GE
    • 9 Years
    7 months, 21 days ago

    Savinho -> Luiz Diaz (-4)?

    1. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
      • 11 Years
      7 months, 21 days ago

      No

  24. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
    • 11 Years
    7 months, 21 days ago

    Saka (c) locked. The fixtures outweigh the unnecessary concern about minutes in my opinion

  25. Lucky Z
    • 8 Years
    7 months, 21 days ago

    Raya | Areola
    Saliba | Gvardiol | Konsa
    KDB | Salah | Saka | Sarr | Rogers
    Marmoush | Mateta | Isak

    Anything worth a hit for this BB team? 0ITB

    1. Lucky Z
      • 8 Years
      7 months, 21 days ago

      Munoz | Livramento

    2. djman102
      • 16 Years
      7 months, 21 days ago

      Who are your other 2 defenders?

      1. djman102
        • 16 Years
        7 months, 21 days ago

        Just saw your follow up. Livra is the weakest link, but not worth a hit IMO unless you're chasing.

    3. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      7 months, 21 days ago

      Who you captaining?

      1. Lucky Z
        • 8 Years
        7 months, 21 days ago

        Marmoush

  26. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

      If free then why not, if for a hit then no.

      C1

      For TC either A or C. Saka is too big a risk as his minutes are likely to be managed. I’ve got the same conundrum this week and haven’t decided yet.

      Bench Savinho.
