The draw for the first round of the 2019/20 FFS Cup

FFS Cup April 3

FFS Paddy Power Members Cup III – Sixth Round Results

We now have our Quarter-Finalists for this season’s Members Cup, as the weekend programme narrowed the field further. Those eight who made progress not only keep their name in the hat for this cup, they also guarantee qualification for the inaugural Fantasy Football Scout Shield where they will face off against the last eight from this season’s earlier Paddy Power Cup over the final four Gameweeks of the season.

Eunuch Jelly is the name that everyone will want to avoid in the last eight – he is now the highest ranked manager remaining in the tournament, having destroyed Stewport, himself ranked 771st before the weekend. Acquafresca will also fancy his chances – he’s the other manager ranked in the top 1000 to progress. Fuzzy Dunlop is perhaps the manager to look out for, as a former winner of this cup, he’s been there and done it and probably still has his cup final suit.

The draw for the Quarter-Finals, to be played out over Gameweek 32, will be published tomorrow afternoon.

Sorry guys stuck on bottom of last page...

Guys I am stumped… 1 FT this week and 0.1 in the bank and have a defensive line that looks like this:

Cesar (WIG) – Szczesny (wba)

Martin R (SWA), Rafael (MCI), O’Brien (liv) – Clyne (rdg), Harte (SOU)

I cannot see any options for me this week to fix the Rafael/Szczesny/Harte problem that is any better than keeping my FT to bring in Felliani and Fabianski next week. I cannot bring in an Arsenal defender for Rafael as already have 2 Arsenal. Do I just save the transfer and pray that Rafael plays this week and has some part in the DGW next week or is there an option I am missing? Really appreciate the advice!

  i dont see a problem ? u wouldn wan rafael anyway cause high possibility man city gonna score.
  u can play
  
  Cesar
  Martin R , Clyne and Rafael ( if Rafael doesn play , O Brien will sub in anyway altho the likelyhood of you getting any clean sheet is low)
  
  if i am you , i keep rafael and pray he plays... this way u save 1 FT this week and could have got 2 other players for next week. this allows u more flexibility as u dont have much Cash in bank

      Hazard has played part of every single game Chelsea have played this season, barring the three he was banned. I'd say he's 200%! Gerrard and Baines, every minute of PL 😀
      
      Yeah, agreed. Hope he gets rested so I don't have to think about it. For a hit might be a bit rash, probably just annoyed that he messed up my GW last week, could only put out 9 players.

        did he play 90 minutes against manu recently? missed the game but pretty happy with the result as i can now ditch him for wally and keep RVP for DGW33. if he did, then he may be rested. not his fault that you put 9, it's one of those GWs. if he's available, you can still only put 10 😉

      I'm currently leading by more than 100 points in my mini leagues with prizes. At this stage, I'm only looking to widen that gap and get the most points out of the WC as much as possible. Also, to improve my rank overall.

      No, if we're looking at who our rivals have, we're just taking more information into account - not necessarily only looking at one side.
      
      I wasn't aware you were 100 points clear as that throws in another thing to consider - whether you feel you already have the league won or not. Whether you do or not, is another thing to take into account.

RVP, Suarez, Berbatov. (1 FT, £0.1m)

      I guess the form of the United strikers lately can be conceiving, with Rooney being injured and RVP being a bit unlucky. Still, I think I'll risk it since getting one would mean worrying about rotation as soon as the league is wrapped up.

  That looks good for only -4, I'm looking at -8 for 7 :\ Wouldn't do Punch -> Duff for a hit, gives you a benching problem anyways. If I could pick between Mert and Giroud for my last Arsenal player I'd go Giroud, dunno if you already got him in.

      Oh sorry, so large letters, didn't see Bale on the bench there 😉 No problem then. Still, not sure it's worth a hit.

        yep, that's the issue. i can alternatively do bego > DDG, but not sure if he's gonna play both game.

        Indeed, getting to the point in the league now where it's hard to trust any United players to be nailed on.

The guy top of my mini league hasn't had RVP Suarez or Bale all year!

What are your predictions for the Manchester derby?

Wondering whether to bench my City & Utd defenders...
