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 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.

    Already have triple arsenal, triple city, triple place and Konsa. Anyone worth bringing in for livra or Isak for my BB? 2 frees

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

      Rogers is what you need but doesn't look possible here as such

      1. My neck my back my Saed Kol…
        • 10 Years
        7 months, 21 days ago

        Forgot to mention the plan is also Murphy to Rogers. It’s the other transfer I have I’m unsure on. Could even go single gameweek player

  2. Nightcrawler

    7 months, 21 days ago

    Stuck in a dilemma. Opinions needed

    Currently 18th in the 2nd chance league. Only the top 3 have meaningful prizes so I don't really care if I finish 100th or 5th. Third is 18 points ahead ATM

    Everybody above me is going to have Saka and an arsenal defender. I have neither (but arteta AM)

    Would u take a gamble this and get trossard or just get Saka and Kiwior and save the gamble for the final 5 weeks (still have FH)? If I go with trossard but Saka and ars Def go big it's game over already

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

      Kdb?

      1. Nightcrawler
        • 6 Years
        7 months, 21 days ago

        Would u sell Bruno for a hit for KDB? I can get merino for Murphy

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

          Depends how much risk you want to take on. Wolves have won a few on the bounce and you could c Kdb for a real differential. It’s not a horrible idea.

          1. Nightcrawler
            • 6 Years
            7 months, 21 days ago

            Hmm thanks. I think this could work. Arteta does cover Saka and ars Def to an extent

        2. Nightcrawler
          • 6 Years
          7 months, 21 days ago

          Trossard*

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

    Hopefully this bench comes good this gw. Playing 11 all doublers.

    Areola Salah Isak Bradley

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

      Salah and Isak on bench 😆

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

        Haha makes the bb more attractive. Plus playing 11 all have 2 games

    2. Nightcrawler
      • 6 Years
      7 months, 21 days ago

      I think the bench will be the extra players u have over others, in this case Bradley and Areola plus another two

      Everybody has Isak and Salah

  4. wolves_simmo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    7 months, 21 days ago

    Wildcard 33 (plan to FH34 & BB35) any improvements? 0.2ITB

    Raya - Areola
    Kiwior - Gvardiol - Munoz - Mykolenko - Van den berg
    Saka - KDB - Bowen - Rogers - Salah
    Marmoush - Mateta - Wissa

  5. Kesnel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    7 months, 21 days ago

    Still have TC and FH chips to play. Considering the following options:

    A) GW33 TC Marmoush + FH in possible DGW36
    B) GW33 TC Salah + FH in possible DGW36
    C) Save TC for possible DGW36 Marmoush (sou, BOU) + FH GW??

    I don’t anticipate needing FH to cover BGWs. A is currently my preferred option. Thoughts?

    1. Bggz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Nah you’re good

    3. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 months, 21 days ago

      G2G

    4. Punned It
        7 months, 21 days ago

        I'd bench Slobodan as well, don't want him causing a stink on the pitch.

    5. NZREDS
      • 12 Years
      7 months, 21 days ago

      Still tossing up savinho -> rogers, bit sideways but have FT in the bank. Do we think Savinho starts / outscores rogers?

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

        I guess he starts one, tough to predict whether he can outscore Rogers. Cant see Villa scoring more than 2 goals over 2 games.

      2. Biggsy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 months, 21 days ago

        Struggling with this myself. Keeping Murphy so it's Sarr or Savinho to Rogers. Thinking Savinho allowing me to get Dias in defence

    6. FDMS All Starz
      • 10 Years
      7 months, 21 days ago

      Muñoz or Bradley on FH?

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

      Mornign folks, having serious Rogers FOMO but 0.3m short of Murphy > Rogers. Have 0FT

      Raya Areola
      Gvardiol Kiwior Munoz Konsa Burn
      Salah Sarr Saka Foden Murphy
      Isak Mateta Marmoush

      A: do nothing esp if Foden starts/bench
      B: Foden > kdb (-4)
      C: Foden/Murphy >> Mbeumo/Rogers (-8)
      D: Foden/Murphy >> Rashford/Rogers(-8)

      1. Punned It
          7 months, 21 days ago

          Keep Murphy, consider Foden > KDB.

      2. gellinmagellan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 months, 21 days ago

        Start one:
        A) Ait Nouri (vs mun)
        B) Burn (vs avl)

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

          RAN

        2. Leo14CFC
            7 months, 21 days ago

            A

        3. Original Sin
          • 11 Years
          7 months, 21 days ago

          Took a -4 hit to get both Saka and KDB, hope its worth it. Good to go?

          Raya*
          Saliba* Munoz* Gvardiol*
          Saka* KDB* Salah Bowen
          Marmoush* Mteta* Evanilson

            • 9 Years

            Who’s your captain?

            1. Original Sin
              • 11 Years
              7 months, 21 days ago

              Currently on Saka. Might change to KDB though

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

                Okay. I’m captaining Saka and don’t have KDB. I’d say you’re GTG.

                1. Original Sin
                  • 11 Years
                  7 months, 21 days ago

                  Thanks buddy. Whoever is likely to have more game time, i would captain.

        4. FDMS All Starz
          • 10 Years
          7 months, 21 days ago

          On FH which one?

          Bowen or Eze or Rashford

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

            Bowen

          2. NZREDS
            • 12 Years
            7 months, 21 days ago

            Rashy

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

            Bowen

          4. Count of Monte Hristo
            • 12 Years
            7 months, 21 days ago

            Bowen plays against a very useless bunch.

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

          Thoughts on Rogers or KDB as alternative captain options to Marmoush?

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

            KDB

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

          Bench boost this week and FH next week. 3 Ft's. Who to bring in for Murphy and Gabriel?

          A. Trossard
          B. Merino
          C. Diaz

          1. Konsa
          2. Wan-Bissaka
          3. Who else?

          Current Team
          Martinez
          Munoz / Trippier/ Gvardiol
          Sarr / Savinho / Salah / Saka
          Isak / Marmoush / Mateta

          Raya | Murphy | Kerkez | Gabriel

          Thanks

          Annoyingly 0.1 short of Cucurella & Palmer to Saliba & a swansong for KDB.
          Would you change Saliba to Kiwior (concerned about game time in the last few weeks) or City’s Dias, or do you think KDB isn’t worth it & go for someone like Diaz from LFC?

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

            I'm not 100% on KDB. Pep isn't one for sentiment and Kev hasn't been tearing it up this season. I think Saliba is better for the run in - you've not got many transfers after this week

          2. Leo14CFC
              7 months, 21 days ago

              I won’t waste a transfer on keepers or defenders this late in season , I need attackig players to score goals and make a defence

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

                Cheers guys. I have 2 FT & free hitting next week, so any impact on my squad is really only in gw34

          3. EWH2020
            • 11 Years
            7 months, 21 days ago

            On FH chasing ML leader who doesn't have Pool defence and has Munoz.

            A) play Munoz
            B) double Pool defence (VVD and Bradley)

          4. ididnt
            • 14 Years
            7 months, 21 days ago

            Best striker to bring in on a BB up to 6.7m?

            A. J. Pedro
            B. Wissa
            C. Strand Larsen
            D. Cunha
            E. Evanilson.

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

              Probably D and definitely D if you don't have a FH34 planned

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

                FH planned next week

          5. Biggsy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            7 months, 21 days ago

            Really torn on this one. Think I'm moving Savinho on due to minutes risk.

            A. Gabriel, Burn and Savinho to Saliba, Dias and Rogers.

            B. Gabriel, Sarr and Savinho to Kwior, KDB and Rogers

            I think A is probably better for 35-38 after FH34

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

            Bench one?

            A) Isak x1
            B) Mateta x2
            C) Sarr x2

            Palace playingl in the FA Cup a few days after the Arsenal match, possible rotation?

            I'm playing Eze, so maybe playing two Palace is enough and I should play Isak? Mateta is the one I'm leaning towards benching due to his recent minutes.

            Cheers.

            Who do you prefer for the rest of the season? On FH34, BB36, so only GW35 onwards fixtures included.

            A. Murphy: bha, CHE, (ars), EVE

            B. Elanga: cry, LEI, whu, CHE

            1. Leo14CFC
                7 months, 21 days ago

                B easier fixtures

              • Biggsy

                • 11 Years
                7 months, 21 days ago

                A for form

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

                A - form over fixtures always

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

              Who’s TC’ing this GW?

              Marmoush, Saka, Salah or even Saliba tbh

            3. cutch
              • 11 Years
              7 months, 21 days ago

              What's the general consensus on KDB? I was a bit surprised he wasn't even considered for the scout picks team

              1. Leo14CFC
                  7 months, 21 days ago

                  Bought him so he should do something for me lol , great differential

                • Biggsy
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 11 Years
                  7 months, 21 days ago

                  I wonder if I'm being swayed by group think and sentiment. One good performance Vs a poor Palace shouldn't hide his general poor form. He's blanked at Leicester and Ipswich this season

                • EWH2020
                  • 11 Years
                  7 months, 21 days ago

                  I brought him in, so probably best to avoid

              2. Minion

                • 10 Years
                7 months, 21 days ago

                My best DGW captain is probably Raya. Ugh.

                Would you -4 Palmer to Saka/KDB and captain?

                I’m not on FH34 and *already* need -8 to field XI, before a Palmer out then Saka/KDB out for an additional -8 on top…

                  I haven't quite followed, but that seems a lot of hits

                    Apologies if confusing. I have 1FT this week. Saka in would be -4 in 33.

                    I have 8 players for 34 now. Doing Saka in for 33 means 7 in 34. So then need -12 to field XI in 34, plus the -4 in 33 to get Saka.

                    So is it worth the additional -8 to have a decent captain, as otherwise I’m on Raya/Salah.

                    Wildcard in 35 with the DGW/BGW info.

                      I think -16 blows the benefits you get from holding the WC.

                        Probably not wrong mate. Just hate the lack of decent captain this week.

                Never known a more "minefield" DGW. It's literally guess work and mostly horrid fixtures.

                All setup for a Salah hattrick.

                Upgrade?
                A) Asensio - > Rogers
                B) Merino - > Saka
                C) Both
                D) None
                With 2 FT available

                  A only. Merino could easily match Saka

                  Maybe B. But I'd fancy D and using the 2FT to better effect later in the season

                A - Roll so that I have 3 FT in GW35 after FH34
                B - Murphy > Bowen & roll 1 FT (bench Isak)

                Raya
                Munoz - Konsa - Gvardiol
                Salah - Saka - Sarr  - Rogers
                Isak - Marmoush - Mateta

                Sels - Milenkovic - Murphy - Livra
