The third round of our latest FFS Cup took place in Blank Gameweek 31.
There were 128 Fantasy managers remaining in our tournament before Saturday’s deadline but only two were former FFS Cup winners.
One of those site users, donnellyc, bowed out after a narrow 35-34 loss to TwiggsJameson.
Our other former champion, 2EyedTurk, lives to fight another day after a 32-28 win over Homer21.
The highest-ranked team in the round-of-128, Deporhostia, exited the competition after being pipped 42-43 by space.
That means we have only one manager remaining who sits inside the top 1,000: HBCAMPBELL, who has an overall rank of 931 after Gameweek 31.
Rotation/s Alter Ego and G-Whizz both entered the top 10k this weekend and our two mods both progressed to the last 64 after comfortable victories.
There was one draw in the third round: rselfy123 squeaking past Dream_team_legend due to a superior overall rank.
Lal Toofan beat Taking the Mkhitaryan 39-32 and is now just ten places behind his Gameweek 31 opponent in the overall FPL rankings.
Vulken is the Fantasy manager with the lowest OR (1,723,241) who still remains in the competition.
The third round results were as follows:
The draw for the fourth round has also taken place.

At Watford, Gracia has three forwards available to him - Deeney, Deulofeu and Gray.
Assuming his first choice team will be for the cup semi, that is Deeney & Deulofeu (as it has been most season) with a sub appearance for Gray (could be for either of them or someone else entirely, it’s not consistently like for like).
Does that mean that Andre Gray might be the best Watford option? He might get both league games in DGW32 and a sub appearance in the cup? Or at least a full league appearance and a near-guaranteed 30 mins in the other league game?
