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.

    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
      8 months, 17 hours ago

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

      1. My neck my back my Saed Kol…
        • 10 Years
        8 months, 17 hours 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

    8 months, 18 hours 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
      8 months, 18 hours ago

      Kdb?

      1. Nightcrawler
        • 6 Years
        8 months, 18 hours ago

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

        1. Bggz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          8 months, 18 hours 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
            8 months, 18 hours ago

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

        2. Nightcrawler
          • 6 Years
          8 months, 18 hours ago

          Trossard*

  3. SpaceCadet
    • 12 Years
    8 months, 18 hours ago

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

    Areola Salah Isak Bradley

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      8 months, 18 hours ago

      Salah and Isak on bench 😆

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 12 Years
        8 months, 18 hours ago

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

    2. Nightcrawler
      • 6 Years
      8 months, 18 hours 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
    8 months, 18 hours 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
    8 months, 18 hours 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?

      Nah you’re good

    3. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      G2G

    4. Punned It
        8 months, 17 hours ago

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

    5. NZREDS
      • 12 Years
      8 months, 18 hours 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
        8 months, 18 hours 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
        8 months, 18 hours 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
      8 months, 18 hours ago

      Muñoz or Bradley on FH?

    7. UnitednationsXI
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 months, 18 hours 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
          8 months, 17 hours ago

          Keep Murphy, consider Foden > KDB.

      2. gellinmagellan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        8 months, 18 hours ago

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

        1. Stockport Hatter
          • 9 Years

          RAN

        2. Leo14CFC

          A

      3. Original Sin
        • 11 Years
        8 months, 18 hours 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

          Who’s your captain?

          1. Original Sin
            • 11 Years
            8 months, 17 hours ago

            Currently on Saka. Might change to KDB though

            1. Stockport Hatter
              • 9 Years
              8 months, 17 hours ago

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

              1. Original Sin
                • 11 Years
                8 months, 17 hours ago

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

      4. FDMS All Starz
        • 10 Years
        8 months, 18 hours ago

        On FH which one?

        Bowen or Eze or Rashford

        1. Miguel Sanchez
          • 9 Years
          8 months, 17 hours ago

          Bowen

        2. NZREDS
          • 12 Years
          8 months, 17 hours ago

          Rashy

        3. Stockport Hatter
          • 9 Years
          8 months, 17 hours ago

          Bowen

        4. Count of Monte Hristo
          • 12 Years
          8 months, 17 hours ago

          Bowen plays against a very useless bunch.

      5. Miguel Sanchez
        • 9 Years
        8 months, 18 hours ago

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

        1. Stockport Hatter
          • 9 Years
          8 months, 17 hours ago

          KDB

      6. DavvaMC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        8 months, 18 hours 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

        8 months, 17 hours ago

        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
          8 months, 17 hours 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
          • 1 Year
          8 months, 17 hours 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
            8 months, 17 hours ago

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

      8. EWH2020
        • 11 Years
        8 months, 17 hours 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)

      9. ididnt
        • 14 Years
        8 months, 17 hours 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
          8 months, 17 hours ago

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

          1. ididnt
            • 14 Years
            8 months, 17 hours ago

            FH planned next week

      10. Biggsy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 months, 17 hours 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

      11. Ronnies
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 months, 17 hours 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
          • 1 Year
          8 months, 17 hours ago

          B easier fixtures

        2. Biggsy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          8 months, 17 hours ago

          A for form

        3. Stockport Hatter
          • 9 Years
          8 months, 17 hours ago

          A - form over fixtures always

      13. Evasivo
        • 15 Years
        8 months, 17 hours ago

        Who’s TC’ing this GW?

        Marmoush, Saka, Salah or even Saliba tbh

      14. cutch
        • 11 Years
        8 months, 17 hours 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
          • 1 Year
          8 months, 17 hours ago

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

        2. Biggsy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          8 months, 17 hours 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

        3. EWH2020
          • 11 Years
          8 months, 17 hours ago

          I brought him in, so probably best to avoid

      15. Minion
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 months, 17 hours 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…

        1. Biggsy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          8 months, 17 hours ago

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

          1. Minion
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            8 months, 17 hours ago

            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.

            1. Biggsy
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              8 months, 17 hours ago

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

              1. Minion
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 10 Years
                8 months, 17 hours ago

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

      16. mdm

        Which gk to play?

        A. Martinez (NEW, mci)
        B. Areola (SOU)

        Thanks.

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

        All setup for a Salah hattrick.

        Arise (C) Salah

        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
