The latest FFS Cup fixtures and results

We’re back with another round-up of our two Fantasy Football Scout cup competitions, both of which have now reached the semi-final stage.

The super-quick turnaround between the end of Gameweek 32 and the deadline for Gameweek 33, coupled with the usual snail-paced Fantasy Premier League refresh after Leicester City v West Bromwich Albion, meant that we were unable to bring you our usual article round-up last week.

But the quarter-finals of the FFS Open Cup and FFS Members Cup both played out as scheduled in Gameweek 33, with the latest fixtures and results featured in our regular summary below.

FFS OPEN CUP

QUARTER-FINAL RESULTS

SEMI-FINAL DRAW

Our two highest-ranking managers in the quarter-finals both bowed out, with RobinHuth defeated 62-66 by Mince n Tatties and Zedz succumbing to a 44-59 loss at the hands of FPL Bielsa.

RobinHuth actually matched their opponents’ Gameweek 33 score of 66 and climbed to just outside the top 10,000 but a minus-four hit to recruit the misfiring Diogo Jota and Mason Greenwood proved costly, with Mince n Tatties prevailing.

FPL Bielsa will next play Genovoze, who squeaked through the quarter-finals after a 57-all tie with a Wildcarding whitty; a superior overall rank enough to settle the contest.

ronaldez, sitting outside the top 600k, was by some distance the lowest-ranked manager in the last eight but bowed out after losing 55-49 to Jambo17.

All four of our fairly evenly matched semi-finalists are ranked between 20,000 and 50,000, with only Mince n Tatties retaining any chips (the Bench Boost).

FFS MEMBERS CUP

QUARTER-FINAL RESULTS

SEMI-FINAL DRAW

The standard is even higher in the FFS Members Cup, with the four remaining managers all sitting nicely within the top 30k.

The pick of the quarter-finals saw Mohd Rodzi, who is now inside the top 5,000, defeat 744th-place Pumped Up Kicks.

A Kelechi Iheanacho captaincy sealed it for Mohd Rodzi, whose Gameweek 33 score of 68 was enough for an 11th green arrow in a row.

SUNFLOWER – who still has a Wildcard intact – edged out Ccgway by just one point, with the losing quarter-finalist left cursing their decision to bench a hauling Chris Wood.

EUG did profit from the Burnley striker’s 20-point bonanza, however, en route to a comprehensive 84-41 victory over vinny14.

Rossaldinho saw off FPLMAD 56-48 in our other quarter-final.

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.
