The fourth round of our FFS Cup took place in Double Gameweek 32, with 64 Fantasy managers narrowed down to a final 32.

Our one surviving former champion, 2EyedTurk, bowed out of the tournament after suffering an 88-105 defeat to the lowest-ranked entrant remaining, Vulken.

Vulken is one of three FFS site users who all progressed to the round of 32 despite having a seven-figure rank (the others being dark91 and cam).

HPCAMPBELL is the only Fantasy manager remaining who sits inside the top 1,000, having seen off Dodgy Keeper 102-84.

Pinball Wizard was the highest-scoring tie winner of round four, thrashing The Boot 121-66.

Dušan Citizen was desperately unlucky to bow out despite registering a three-figure score, being pipped 106-105 by DMERRITT_99.

Moderators Rotation’s Alter Ego and G-Whizz both progressed to the last 32 after fairly comfortable victories, meanwhile.

In the battle between two managers who sit inside the top 10,000, aha_berg prevailed over rselfy123 by 95 points to 71.

The draw for the fifth round has also taken place.

Our highest-ranked manager, HPCAMPBELL, takes on Yasar Khan, currently sitting just inside the top 500,000.

Vulken will have to exact another giant-killing in order to progress to the last 16 as he takes on Lionac, who has an OR of 2,450 after Gameweek 32.

There are two ties drawn between two managers who lie in the top 10k: Lal Toofan v pkalogirou and Profa Benitez v SmoothRossi.

              wouldn't say he's more likely to score or assists, gets 1 less point when he does score and doesn't get CS points. there's a reason salah is smashing him on ppm. i tend to factor form in less than most people on here though

                I mean as an out & out striker he's more likely to score than a player in Salah's position - just as response to you saying Salah is "different class". Form isn't everything of course, but when hes failed to deliver anything significant for 6 GWs in a row it puts me off him as a captain for sure.

              I don't think it would surprise me - he's only had 1 goal & 1 assist in two occasions this year, with the rest being single digit attacking returns. Now, I'm not saying Salah is a fantastic option as he has a lot of questions to answer himself, I just don't think Vardy is a great captain choice in his own right.

                It's well documented Puel & Vardy didn't get on though - in the four games since Rodgers came in he's scored 8, 16, 2, 6.

      The salah captiainers have fallen victim to the gamblers fallacy.
      That he will get his haul next gameweek or this gameweek.
      Just because he did not the previous week(s)
      They have also fallen victim to the sunk cost fallacy as they have invested a lot of emotional energy into talking up Salah.
      If Salah does eventually do well they will use it as confirmation that they were right all along despite missing out on better options in the meantime.
      This will be the confirmation bias stage.

            thinking short term form is strongly predictive at level of individual is one of biggest fpl fallacies in existence. as above, salah has not forgotten how to score, and does not need to arbitrarily "rediscover" how to do so. imo his chances of scoring now are likely not significantly lower than during a run of good returns. but impressed that you guys know a few a-level psychology terms and hope that helps you justify bad captain choices

          Of course it is look up gamblers fallacy and then look up a david munday article on this site in the last few weeks about salah.
          He solely uses 'underlying stats' to justify picking him as captain and seems perplexed as to why salah did not deliver.
          If/when salah does deliver the artlcle will be 'those who kept faith in salah were rewarded..... etc'

            I'm not defending Salah (not sure who I'm captaining yet this week, but I might still go Salah just because I don't like Vardy), but surely if one is captaining because of underlying stats it's not gambler's fallacy?

              It is because the underlying stats alone do not tell the whole story,
              If you watch Salah's body lanaguage and the manner in which he takes shots it is clear he has lost confidence.
              Using the underlying stats solely as justification for captaining salah is a false flag in my view.
              So there is the excpectation that the stats will be proven right the next week, or the week after, or the week after that.
              Plus when milner is on the pitch he does not even get the pens.
              Contrast that to Mane playing with freedom and with a smile on his face. The stats don't tell people that.
