The third round of our FFS Cup was played out in Gameweek 31+ and now just 64 Fantasy managers remain in contention.
There’s no respite for those involved as the fourth round takes place in Gameweek 32+, the deadline for which is at 11.30am BST on Saturday.

THE FULL DRAW FOR THE FOURTH ROUND IS AVAILABLE TO VIEW HERE
Wild Rover is still flying the flag for our former winners, having seen off Euroalien – who had been inside the top 1k as of the Gameweek 31+ deadline – in the round-of-128.
It wasn’t a great week for managers lurking inside the top 1,000, with rdamjan and Forza, currently ranked at 30th and 643rd respectively, also exiting the competition.
billybly is our highest-ranked FPL boss left in the cup, with his score of 105 easily good enough to see off sirakhun and sufficient to move him up to 660th in the world.
Having scored 141 points in Gameweek 30+, stamfordbridge bowed out in unfortunate circumstances after a 60-60 draw with __simdy; the latter’s superior rank seeing them through to a last-64 tie with the aforementioned billybly.
Annie also lost out on a tie-breaker after a 78-all draw with Mighty Wings.
baingaboyz was arguably even more luckless, being edged out by two points despite racking up a triple-figure score of 103.
We’ve got an all-top 2k clash in the round-of-64, with Hellraisers facing Dial Square.
Every single one of our remaining 64 managers is ranked inside the top 300,000.
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.
