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

    Livramento to Kiwior or Bradley? Never been a defence double up fan, but…

    2FT, £3.8m ITB, BB active and FH next week. Can’t see anything else that desperately needs changing.

    Raya Areola

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 months, 21 days ago

      Kiwior for dgw33 or Dias has better fixtures

  2. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 months, 21 days ago

    Guess I have to shift Castagne out for a BB squad.

    £5.7m to spend on

    1. Dias
    2. Tierney
    3. Konsa/Cash/ other Villa defender

    It's gotta be a Man City defensive double up with the fixtures, isn't it?

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 months, 21 days ago

      Does it? He offers almost no upside, and City aren’t exactly the most airtight defence

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 months, 21 days ago

        True

        But I don't see Villa keeping two clean sheets either.

        And I can only afford Tierney to partner Kiwior than I'm back to the Arsenal defence in gw35.

        Might only get one game out of Kieran too? He's hardly featured.

        Where would you go with £5.7m? Bradley looks short term too.

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

          I’ve gone Bradley personally - only really need him short term! I understand the City fixtures appeal though, so Dias isn’t necessarily a bad option

  3. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 months, 21 days ago

    Saka or KDB?

    Thanks

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 months, 21 days ago

      KDB

  4. Eat my goal!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years

    Bowen or Eze on a FH?

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 months, 21 days ago

      Bowen

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

      Bowen as a punt

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

      Bowen

  5. Nespinha
    • 10 Years
    7 months, 21 days ago

    Rashford or Bowen?

    TC Marmoush or chill and hold?

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 months, 21 days ago

      Rashford

      I'd TC now but probably punt it on Saka. Although he's a risk.

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

      Bowen

      TC Chip best used in DGW... 😉

  6. Pablitto
    • 15 Years
    7 months, 21 days ago

    Hi guys
    Is it worth switching Glasner to Arteta for - 4?
    Dont have Saka, only Saliba from ARS

    1. Mini League Fatigue
      • 12 Years
      7 months, 21 days ago

      No

  7. Mini League Fatigue
    • 12 Years
    7 months, 21 days ago

    Is it worth -4 to remove Foden for Saka… feel like he will get 90 minutes over 2 games so tempted to keep and use 2FT for Kerkez & Kluivert to Kiwior & Rogers

    BB Team : 2FT

    Raya Areola
    Konsa Gvardiol Muñoz Trips Kerkez*
    Salah Saar Murphy Foden Kluivert*

    Thanks!

    1. Mini League Fatigue

      *they both prob get 90mins

  8. the dom 1

    Asked this yesterday but no replies?

    Who gets more game time minutes this DGW?

    a. Merino

    b. Saka

    Cheers

    1. Mini League Fatigue
      • 12 Years
      7 months, 21 days ago

      Merino imo

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

        What does that say. Twitter banned in the country

        1. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          7 months, 21 days ago

          Merino prediction is more likely to start than Saka.

    2. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 months, 21 days ago

      A probably more game time but think Saka outscores him

  9. Mini League Fatigue
    • 12 Years
    7 months, 21 days ago

    But saka will prob outscore …

  10. THFC4LIFE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 months, 21 days ago

    Cant decide what to do with my team this week, never this indecisive but tough this week, any help welcome, playing BB using FH next week….

    Raya
    Munoz Saliba Gvardiol
    Salah Saka Eze Rogers
    Isak Mateta Marmoush

    Areola Konsa Livramento Murphy
    2ft 2.6itb

    A. Livra/Murphy to Dias/Rashford
    B. Murphy/Isak to KDB/Wood
    C. Murphy/Isak to Bowen/Watkins
    D. Something else

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 months, 21 days ago

      A of those; could also just sell Livra

      In a similar position (see above!)

  11. The Pep Revolution
    • 14 Years
    7 months, 21 days ago

    Is Sarr to Bowen worth a 4 point hit?

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 months, 21 days ago

      Sarr has a double…

      1. The Pep Revolution
        • 14 Years
        7 months, 21 days ago

        True but Bowen could easily outscore him all the same.

        1. THFC4LIFE
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          7 months, 21 days ago

          Could do but with -4 aswel I wouldn’t bet on it

          1. The Pep Revolution
            • 14 Years
            7 months, 21 days ago

            OK thanks.

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

      No, imo

  12. IL Fantasista
    • 13 Years
    7 months, 21 days ago

    Sorry if asked before.
    Who would you bench this GW?
    A. Isak
    B. Konsa

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 months, 21 days ago

      Tough, probably B

      1. IL Fantasista
        • 13 Years
        7 months, 21 days ago

        Tks

    2. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 months, 21 days ago

      B

      1. Tommy Template
        • 11 Years
        7 months, 21 days ago

        B - we've seen with the Palace defenders in the last double that just because you have two fixtures doesnt mean you'll get a good score.

    3. IL Fantasista
      • 13 Years
      7 months, 21 days ago

      Tks for all replies. Can't ser myself playing a defender over one of the best forwards on the league. Fantasy 101

      1. IL Fantasista
        • 13 Years
        7 months, 21 days ago

        *can't see

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

    4ft 0.8ITB BB this week FH next week, currently thinking

    Saliba & Murphy > Kiwior & Rashford, how does this sound?

    Raya
    Saliba, Munoz,Gvardiol
    Saka, Rogers, Sarr, Salah
    Marmoush, Mateta, Isak

    Verbruggen, Schar, Murphy, Konsa

    1. Kingy109
      • 4 Years
      7 months, 21 days ago

      I'm not sure I'd get Rahford if him and Watkins share minutes.
      But in you cast Id keep Saliba. If you sold Schar to say Kilman would that raise enough money plus West Ham fixtures not awful (and Sou for the BB better than Villa away with you having double Villa attack)

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

        Schar to Kilman would allow me to replace Murphy to a 7mil Mid so any of the Villa mid really

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

    How many minutes do we expect from these in the DGW?

    I think they’ll all get about 120 mins each, due to rotation, potential rest etc.

    A) KDB
    B) Savinho
    C) Saka

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 months, 21 days ago

      I’d say that’s a good shout

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

        I’m tempted to do Savinho to KDB for -4, seems so much more sexy to go with him into the DGW. But only 3 starts in the last 10, maby we’re a bit biased by last GW in isolation, and that Savinho could bring in the same amount of points.

        Also considering captaining Saka as a better feeling than «boring Marmoush, due to better ARS fixtures and extra mid points. If we just knew that he would start at least one

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

    Which combo scores more just this week?

    A) Kdb & Bradley/Munoz
    Or
    B) Rashford & Dias

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

      A

  16. carlosice
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 months, 21 days ago

    Which of these two. Not chasing but love the idea of KDB and Saka:

    A) Palmer, Murphy, Gabriel to Saka, Rogers and Kiwior.

    B) Palmer, Savinho, Isak, Gabriel to Saka, KDB, Evanilson and Saliba (-4)

    Thank you!

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 months, 21 days ago

      B if you think Isak blanks

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

      B if you think KDB starts at least one match. 3 starts the last 10 GWs

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

    On a BB. For free:

    A. Isak & Murphy > Wissa/Larsen & Kdb
    B. Murphy & Livra > Rashford & Bradley

    1. Lallana_

    Which one long-term? My AM expires this week.

    A)

    Raya

    Livra > Konsa -4 yes or no? Fh 34

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

      No, not worth -4 for a Villa def imo, even in DGW

    2. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 months, 21 days ago

      Konsa could end up with 2 points overall from his DGW

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

      No, even if Villa have a 59% chance of a DGW in 36

      He's averaged 2.6 pts per match this season and is playing two good attacking sides.

    4. Conners
      • 6 Years
      7 months, 21 days ago

      Given the sides involved, a reasonable best case scenario is you end up 2 points down.

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

        Thanks. Tempted to take the hit, maybe not for Konsa now.

    5. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      7 months, 21 days ago

      I'm weighing up a hit to take Konsa out.

  20. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 months, 21 days ago

    Murphy to Rogers worth a free transfer this week, if FH34?

    Already have Konsa, Rashford and 9 other doublers for BB

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

      I did murphy to rogers with 1 of my 2 FT

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 months, 21 days ago

      For free it's worth a punt but Murphy is in scintillating form.

      I'd be tempted by Merino with the fixtures personally.

    3. Conners
      • 6 Years
      7 months, 21 days ago

      I was weighing up whether to bring him in for free this week, but decided against it.

      In a standard GW, neither of those fixtures would warrant buying him, yet the two together are somehow seen as a golden opportunity.

      (Cue massive score)

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

    A) Martinez and Saliba
    B) Raya and Konsa

  22. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 months, 21 days ago

    It looks like my BB is going to be

    Sels, Mbeumo, Murphy, Kerkez...

    Starting Munoz in a back 4 of dgw defenders.

    Any good?

  23. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 months, 21 days ago

    Team good enough?
    Using BB this week
    2FTs needed to field 11 players next week (currently only have 9)

    Raya*
    Gvardial* Munoz* Livra
    Sarr* Salah Murphy Palmer
    Marmoush* Mateta* Isak

    Is Livramento to Konsa, worth a -4?

    1. Sun God Nika
      • 5 Years
      7 months, 21 days ago

      No villa is very unlikely to keeps clean sheet imo

    2. Conners

      See replies 5 posts up.

    3. Glasner Ball

      Nope

  25. Flynny

    When to play triple captain?

    A....this week - marmoush. Everton and villa

    B....gw36....marmoush at saints and maybe Bournemouth if city get dgw....halland may be back the. To cloud the issue tho

    Thanks

  26. Sun God Nika

    Would you go merino / trossard or Diaz

    In on FH so a week punt only

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

    Best Livra replacement here? Budget 4.9m. Would be for a hit

    Raya Areola
    Saliba gvardiol Munoz Bradley Livra

  28. Conners
    • 6 Years
    7 months, 21 days ago

    Will be keeping an eye on Cunha's involvement this week.

    Going to be a tricky decision on whether to bring him in on FH in 34 if he only gets 20 mins or so.

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

    Keep or sell White for a hit ?

    On BB

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

      I'd just keep him in the hope that he starts against Ipswich.

  30. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Anyone punting on Merino?
