The FFS Open Cup and the FFS Members Cup will reach the quarter-final stage in Gameweek 18 – and we’re bringing you the latest results and draws here.

Both contests have £300 worth of prizes on offer, with a full breakdown towards the bottom of this piece.

FFS OPEN CUP

Highest-ranked teams Athletico Timbo and YNWA91 were both defeated in the round of 16, the latter by the lowest-remaining manager Ben Phippen (1.51m).

As a result, Ben now has to face a new leader, ekiekiwapang (32,285th), who is boosted by a score of 96 points. Dominic Calvert-Lewin, captain Erling Haaland and penalty-saving Caoimhin Kelleher played huge roles in this tally.

Other high scorers were Waxfoot (93) and BilboBaggins (90).

FFS MEMBERS CUP

Meanwhile, like the other cup, all former champions of this have already been eliminated.

In one of two draws, Teddy was a lucky winner, being successful in a 68-68 draw due to having a higher general rank than thesmed. These were the round’s lowest-scoring duo.

The other draw brought the unluckiest loser, as albertini (81) is lower than Santigold (81).

Drizzle (95) was the top scorer here, with wilkas44 remaining the highest-ranked participant, in 13,199th place. These meet in one of the quarter-finals.

As the lowest three sides all lost, Kosh14 (444k) takes over this mantle.

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.

        No news is news, this time of the year, you need guarantees, as any extra points you can get over your rival when they falter with a depleted squad is a bonus.

        I would say, no confirmation of a return date would lead me to believe they are at least a few weeks away

        depends how much value you have tied up in him and whether you were planning to keep him if he wasnt injured. I'm keeping him and working to having a manageable squad, as getting him back will be painful as I have had him for months, budget is tight. so would rather not use a transfer to get him out and back in again,

      Someone yesterday made an interesting point, that Bruno was seen dining in Alderley Edge, without crutches. Following the tried and tested RICE method... walking around unaided doesnt fall under rest. To alleviate any strain on muscle injuries sportsmen are normally expected to utilise crutches, so i'm thinking it's not as bad as they first feared, a few weeks...

              Thanks, I may come to regret it, but it's similar situation I had at the start when I refused to jump on the Semenyo bandwagon and more recently Wilson. Sometimes you have to trust in your picks, if they fail, you also live by your actions or non actions. Maybe In a week the value will nosedive that I can transfer him out without detriment, but I'll wait a week in the hope more info comes out about his recovery, same with KDH. I wont lose it from 1GW.. he hopes...

            Very torn between Cunha and Gordon as Bruno's replacement. There's a part of me that knows Gordon's getting rotated at some stage, their fixture schedule is very busy as they are still in the league cup and europe which Man Utd are not, but that could work in his favour if Barnes gets the cup starts down the line. I like Cunha but I do not like his supporting cast one bit. Sensible call is probably Cunha and just hope they arent as bad as I fear. Doesn't help that they play each other on Boxing Day and you just know one is hauling and one is blanking so its going to be tough not to get very tilted if I get it wrong

              Any transfer out involving Foden is a no for me ATM, I'd rather lose Semenyo it's a risk this week but his fixtures aren't great after that, and his future is uncertain.

              Any other season you'd pick the attacker probably but I think even without the DC potential, the Leeds clean looks more likely than Brighton doing much. To be honest I'd probably fancy Rodon to score from a corner or something more than I'd fancy Minteh to score in open play.

            Made my mind up have sold Semenyo to fund Thiago>Ekitike.

            Have brought in Rice and Rogers already for KDH and Bruno and as they are rising in price and have better fixtures I'm keeping them. Also gives me some money to get rid of VdVen. There is also the City thing lurking and four yellows!
